Chapter 297 - 287: Shadowless Kick
Following dinner, nobody left. Instead, they started chopping filling and making dumplings, and Su Qiaoling didn’t leave either.
There was plenty of dough prepared by Wen Shan, so much that the three of them wrapped up hundreds of meat dumplings that afternoon. In the end, Su Qiaoling ran to the mess hall to borrow some steamers, and it was only when every stove in the three dormitories was lit that they managed to cook all the meat dumplings.
As soon as the first batch of dumplings was ready, drawn by the savory aroma, the three couldn’t help but grab some to eat. Once they started, they couldn’t stop, and Lu Yun, who ate the least, still downed seven or eight in one go.
"Wen Shan, your filling is good enough to start your own dumpling shop," Lu Yun said as she brewed a pot of tea and sipped it.
"Heh, it’s passable. The seasoning isn’t quite complete—if it were, the flavor would be even better," Wen Shan said without false modesty, her tone of regret making Lu Yun and Su Qiaoling laugh.
"Then next time, you make a list, and we’ll get you the ingredients according to the list. If the dumplings aren’t tasty, you’ll be punished by eating them all by yourself while we enjoy other delicacies. You’ll just be gnawing your meat dumplings and watching," Lu Yun joked along.
"No way, what if you see something tastier and claim my filling isn’t good?" Wen Shan decisively shook her head and refused.
"I knew you’d say something unreliable. Why else would you be so lacking in confidence?" Su Qiaoling teased from the side, prompting Wen Shan to jump up in irritation, "Seems like I’ve never experienced your culinary skills. Hmph, beware, I might give you a big fat negative review."
Seeing the back and forth between the two, Lu Yun couldn’t help but double over with laughter.
The aroma of meat dumplings wafted far and wide. Coupled with the activity of the previous and current days, almost everyone in the family compound knew that the newly promoted Deputy Director Pei’s wife had also arrived. But since they were busy making delicious food, most people didn’t intrude at such a time.
