After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Gui Niang explained: "There are two people in the family, but they are unreliable in this regard. Your tenth uncle cooked a meal in my family once, but it was half-cooked and not cooked through."

Xia Ran said directly: "It means that Uncle Shi did too little. Don't go back today. Go and see the two of them and find something to eat. Let's make a delicious meal here. I don't believe that they can't live without you. People are spoiled."

"Do you think everyone is like your Jianguo..." Gui Niang blurted out, then she realized that something was wrong and stopped talking in time, for fear of upsetting Jianguo.

Xia Ran was silent for a moment. He did feel a little sorry and sad for the young man.

A man like Jianguo who is willing to help in the kitchen and is considerate of women is indeed a rare commodity in this place where male chauvinism is extremely serious.

Good people don’t live long.

It would be nice to have such a man to support me till old age. But unfortunately, I don't have such a fate.

So he continued: "Indeed, there are not many men like Jianguo. However, people are trained slowly. You have to give them opportunities and let them learn by hand. My second son is better at rolling noodles than his wife, and he also makes better steamed buns and dumplings than his wife.

But we don’t do it very often, we only do it once in a while. So don’t say that men won’t say that, it’s just that we don’t do it enough, today we don’t work, we are idle at home, you still have some pancakes at home, they won’t starve. If you are really worried, we can make more. Then we can bring some over to the two of them to eat.”

"What are you talking about? They are beautiful and will listen to you."

Finally, Gui Niang was persuaded. Alas, people who like to worry are destined to have endless worries waiting for them in the future.

However, except for not being able to cook, Uncle Shi is pretty good in other aspects. He has a keen eye for work, and all matters at home are discussed by the couple.

He also knows how to respect Gui Niang, and the financial power of the family is also in Gui Niang's hands. Of course, Gui Niang herself is also excellent enough.

Gui Niang was raised by her grandmother, who had worked as a maid in a wealthy family and was literate and knowledgeable.

The two of them discussed it and decided that since this was a rare opportunity, they might as well make some dumplings. This was Xia Ran's first dumpling meal since she came here.

It's stuffed with soft filling. It was picked up by my original self and Gui Niang on the mountain after the rain. We didn't have time to eat it and just left it there.

First, Gui Niang cleaned and washed the ground soft vegetables (some places call it ground skin vegetables). This thing is delicious, but it is very difficult to clean. If you don't wash it eight or nine times, it is simply inedible.

Xia Ran went out, mixed some hay for the donkey, and fed the pigs and chickens. She cut a few leeks in the yard to add color to the dumpling filling.

She just came in to knead the dough, using the first-layer white flour. Xia Ran kneaded more dough to make more dumplings. Then she cut some potatoes and leeks.

Scoop two full spoonfuls of freshly made meat sauce from the large jar and melt it in the hot pot.

Put the cleaned ground pork, diced potatoes and leeks into the pot, stir-fry them slightly, sprinkle some salt and five-spice powder and it's done. Half-cooked is just right.

The stuffing was served in a frying pan with lard and some millet porridge was cooked for the puppy Fa Cai.

"The food in your wealthy family is better than that of many families in the village, and you can even feed them full. It's a blessing to follow you." Gui Niang said jokingly.

The other dogs in the village ate leftovers, and if there were no leftovers, they would drink the water used to wash the pot. It was impossible to cook porridge for them.

"Indeed, he has gained weight in the past few days. He is very cute and doesn't bark randomly. He only barks when he hears something."

Some people live worse than dogs, which is very sad, so Gui Niang changed the subject: "Where is Tingwazi? Has he come back in the next few days?"

"Occasionally I come back for a walk, grab a steamed bun and eat it before leaving. I sleep there at night."

Gui Niang said in surprise: "The third daughter-in-law is not a particularly stingy person, but she is not generous either. She actually kept Ting Wazi and ate and drank at her house recently. Could she be trying to control you through Ting Wazi?"

Xia Ran said indifferently: "Who knows? I guess she's almost reached her limit. Let's wait and see, how long can her grandparents tolerate her? They took care of her food and drink some time ago, just thinking of using Ting Wazi to challenge me. Now I won't accept it, let's see how they will perform next? By the way, let's see how long they can keep Ting Wazi fed and housed?

In the past few years since the separation, Ting has rarely eaten there, because her third mother would roll her eyes at her and easily upset her. I used to watch over her and not let her go there for free meals, but now that I am no longer in charge, she has forgotten the old days. I thought her grandparents and third mother would really love her, but I was just overthinking.

"That's true. These days, everyone is watching their grain closely, and every household doesn't have enough to eat. Only your family and a few other large grain-producing families in the village have grain in stock. Other than that, everyone is concentrating on the grain they have at home.

The granary is cleaner than your face. You are indeed frugal and live more carefully than the other. However, you have to quit this group now. "

Gui Niang sighed as she rolled out the dumpling wrappers.

"Hehe, that's really the case."

Those big grain producers really only drank mixed noodle porridge every day, and those who could eat more vegetables would never eat grain. They were just as stingy as the original self.

There was still wheat from three or four years ago in the granary. Every year they stored new grain and ate old grain, which meant that they could never eat fresh noodles.

"Their food was all saved. Look at them, they are almost as thin as sticks. I don't know what they are trying to do."

"It's useless to save food if you're not in good health."

Isn't it true? Some people don't want to eat or drink, so they save up and give it all to the hospital. Once you are in the hospital, you have no control over it.

The two chatted and made two whole pots of dumplings. Gui Niang lit the fire while Xia Ran pounded garlic and made some mashed garlic.

I still have the chili oil I made last time, so I can use it right away. I just cooked five plates of dumplings for them, and I plan to have a good meal.

Shitou was so hungry at home that he couldn't stand it anymore and came here.

"Mom, how could you do this? You even secretly made dumplings with my sister-in-law. This is too rude. You didn't even tell me. I... I can still help you and light the fire, right?"

Shi Tou cleverly took a detour before speaking.

Gui Niang rolled her eyes and said, "Who doesn't know who? Look, they can't live without me for a meal. Sometimes when I go to the city, I have to prepare meals for these two in advance, otherwise, they will be so hungry that they will wait until I come back."

It only means that the father and the son are not hungry enough, it's all because of you, but many women in the world are like this. Women worry about starving their husbands and children, but men and children rarely care whether women have food to eat.

Xia Ran complained in her heart and continued, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Shitou, wash your hands quickly and come over to eat dumplings. Today's dumplings are made with soft fillings and I put a lot of meat in them. They are very fragrant. Let's eat first, and then cook some more. You can take them back to your dad."
