Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

There are three kinds of fillings for dumplings: vegetarian ones include leeks and eggs, meat ones include beef and green onions, and pork and radish.

Among the things Tao Wuji brought was beef, so this time the beef and green onion filling was not called red meat and green onion, but was called by its proper name.

With more people, the work can be done faster. Although there are a few who are not very good at wrapping, most of them can get the hang of it quickly.

In a short while, all the dumplings with several kinds of fillings were finished.

I made more than 500 dumplings in total and prepared them for tomorrow morning.

This way everyone can sleep in tomorrow.

After waking up, you can just cook the frozen dumplings.

In total, more than 200 dumplings were cooked in the evening, one of which was filled with copper coins, one with sugar cubes, and one with chili peppers.

Holding copper coins means making a fortune, holding candies means a sweet life in the future, and holding peppers means prosperity.

When we were having dinner in the evening, actually no one was that hungry and didn’t want to eat much.

But when I thought about what was in the dumplings, I couldn’t help but eat a few more, hoping that I could make that special one.

Doctor Zhao, Hunter Han, and Tao Wuji didn't have so many thoughts. They just stopped eating when they were full and sat there chatting. Time passed quickly.

Xia Shengsheng was like a little child, sitting there with five or six children, studying which plate of dumplings had something in it.

I picked a plump dumpling with confidence.

But when I put it in my mouth, I found nothing.

This made several children laugh.

"I don't believe I can't pick the right one!"

Xia Shengsheng sat there, looking at the dumplings on the plate one by one with her sharp eyes.

The left one missed, and the right one missed.

Finally, Yiyi ate the candy.

The copper coin was eaten by Sicheng.

Ye Chao ate the chili pepper.

Xia Shengsheng could only sigh helplessly.

Touched her bulging belly.

I feel so full!

To show comfort, several children ran back to their rooms, each holding something hidden in their hands.

Xia Shengsheng was very tasteless and guessed that the child was going to give her a gift.

Although there was no surprise, I was still very happy.

"What are you holding in your hands?" Xia Shengsheng asked pretending not to know.

Yiyi is the oldest and was the first to come forward and hand the thing in her hand to Xia Shengsheng.

"Mom, this is a gift I prepared for you. Although it's not worth much, it's a token of my appreciation."

Yiyi prepared her own handwritten copy of the Diamond Sutra, which was written in beautiful small regular script.

"Thank you, Yiyi, I'm going to frame it and hang it in my room.

Look, Yiyi’s handwriting is so beautiful!”

At this time, Xia Shengsheng, like most mothers, couldn't help but show off her daughter to others.

Doctor Zhao and his colleagues were also very cooperative. After reading Yi Yi's handwriting, they all praised her sincerely.

But Yiyi's handwriting is indeed very good.

"Yiyi, your handwriting is so beautiful, and your hands are so long, no wonder you can write so well!"

After reading Yi Yi's words, Tao Siyuan sat next to Yi Yi again and looked at her hands instead.

However, after he said this, Tao Wuji hit him on the head mercilessly.

"Don't talk nonsense, you're just like a pervert."

Xia Shengsheng also pulled Yiyi to his side.

Normally, I really like Tao Siyuan's personality, but this sentence is really frivolous.

Ye Chao and Ercheng both stood in front of Yiyi, blocking Tao Siyuan's sight.

Tao Siyuan covered his head which was hurt by the blow, and saw everyone looking at him before he realized what was happening.

"Don't get me wrong, I just think my hands are ugly, so my handwriting is ugly. Yiyi has beautiful hands, so her handwriting is also beautiful. Don't get me wrong, really don't get me wrong, I treat Yiyi as my own sister..."

Tao Siyuan really didn't think that much when he spoke.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him strangely, he explained anxiously.

Yiyi looked at Tao Siyuan like this and covered her mouth and laughed.

Xia Shengsheng felt that maybe everyone was overthinking it just now.

Tao Siyuan is just that kind of person, he speaks without thinking, so I don't blame him.

The incident was quickly forgotten. After all, they were just kids! It was forgivable that they spoke without thinking.

The other children also gave Xia Shengsheng gifts.

Ye Chao and Si Cheng together gave Xia Shengsheng a short knife made from the two daggers they had bought. There were beautiful patterns engraved on the handle.

Xia Shengsheng was quite impressed by the two men. He didn't expect that they knew so much about weapons. In such a short period of time, they could transform two daggers into a short knife. No wonder he hadn't seen them often during this period.

The pillowcase Shanshan gave was the one she had hurriedly embroidered over the past few days.

The pillowcase is embroidered with Xia Shengsheng's favorite flower, which is the morning glory.

It blooms in the early morning and withers at noon, but when the next morning comes, it will greet the rising morning light again and bloom with its beauty.

It has an indomitable spirit and also represents calmness and tenacity.

So Xia Shengsheng likes this kind of flower very much.

Sicheng was the most generous person and actually gave Xia Shengsheng a bag of copper plates.

He also told Xia Shengsheng to buy whatever delicious food she wanted.

These words sounded so familiar.

"Mom, who gave the best gift, do you think?" Sicheng asked Xia Shengsheng proudly.

"All good, all good. Mother likes them all."

When Xia Shengsheng did not give a definite answer, Sicheng kept chasing Xia Shengsheng and asking her to answer.

"No matter whose it is you like the most, it's definitely not yours." Er Cheng said mercilessly.

"How could that be? What you gave me is too impractical. Mine is the best.

Grandpa Zhao, Uncle Han, Uncle Tao, who do you think gave the best gift?"

The innocent people who were caught in the crossfire could only smile awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Sicheng really has a spirit of perseverance. Seeing that no one answered him, he insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter.

Fortunately, it’s 12 o’clock midnight and the new year has begun, and we finally don’t have to stay up all night anymore.

"New Year is here, New Year, New Atmosphere! Come on, line up, it's time to give out red envelopes."

When Sicheng heard that there was a red envelope, he finally stopped asking questions one by one.

Line up obediently behind my older brothers and sisters.

"Siyuan, come here. You are the oldest, so stand at the front." Xia Shengsheng waved at Tao Siyuan.

Tao Siyuan pointed at his nose. "Am I included in this?"

"Of course! If you're not married, you're still a child. Of course, children should get lucky money during the Chinese New Year. Come here quickly!"

Tao Siyuan ran over happily and stood in front of all the children, looking a little smug.

Xia Shengsheng gave red envelopes to every child, and the amount in the red envelopes was the same.

To get a better meaning, eight ounces and eight cents.

After Xia Shengsheng sent out the red envelopes, Doctor Zhao, Hunter Han, and Tao Wuji also made preparations in advance.

Every child received generous New Year's money, which made them very happy.

After the New Year’s Eve celebration, red New Year’s money was distributed.

Everyone went back to sleep.

Tao Wuji and his son temporarily lived in the guest room in the backyard.
