I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

Xu Congyi took Shen Xiao home quickly, and the two agreed to go to Xu Congyi's space tomorrow night to look at the scroll and envelope they found today. It was already very late when she returned to her bed. Xu Congyi did not take a shower. She simply washed up and went to bed. She slept directly in her bedroom, fearing that she would sleep in the space until the afternoon. In the bedroom, she could hear the sounds of her family eating and working, so she could wake up earlier.

But when she woke up, it was still one o'clock. When she woke up, Tang Xiaowu had just delivered the popcorn box needed for the next day. Seeing her come out, Tang Xiaowu also greeted her warmly.

"Good afternoon, Miss Xu. Am I making too much noise and disturbing your nap?"

Xu Congyi smiled awkwardly and secretly sighed in her heart, this was not a nap at all, she was still in a dream the whole morning.

After a few simple words, Tang Xiaowu said goodbye. When Xu Congyi entered the kitchen, she saw an egg warming in the pot. Seeing the egg, Xu Congyi also felt hungry and ate it up in no time. Although she was still a little hungry, she didn't plan to eat any more. She had been going back to the house very early in the evenings these few days, so she planned to make something delicious tonight and chat with her family while eating.

Of course, it was mainly because she wanted to eat.

She didn't know what happened today, but she wanted to eat steamed dumplings especially with beef and green onion filling. So after eating eggs, Xu Congyi started to prepare the dough. She put the dough on the chopping board and began to knead it vigorously. Her technique was skillful and powerful. The dough kept changing its shape in her hands, gradually becoming smooth and delicate from the initial roughness. She sprinkled some dry flour on the chopping board from time to time to prevent the dough from sticking. The whole process seemed orderly. In order to make the dough rise better, Xu Congyi deliberately put the basin into a large pot of warm water. She carefully adjusted the water temperature to ensure that the dough could slowly expand in a warm environment and become softer and more elastic.

At the same time, Xu Congyi bought fresh beef from her own space. Considering that there are many people in her family and they eat a lot, she bought more so that she doesn't have to prepare other dishes when eating the dumplings. When the dumplings are served, she only needs to make a simple soup and pair it with the pickles made by Li Dahua, and it will be a rich and delicious dinner.

She first cuts the beef into minced meat so that it can better absorb seasoning and water. Put the cut beef into a bowl, add an appropriate amount of water and stir in one direction to allow the beef to fully absorb water. Add chopped green onions, salt, chicken essence, pepper and other seasonings to the stirred beef, and continue to stir evenly until the filling becomes sticky and elastic. Then add appropriate amounts of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and other seasonings to enhance the taste and flavor of the filling. Finally, put the stirred filling in the refrigerator to refrigerate, and the filling will be more flavorful after refrigeration.

When the dough had risen, Xu's mother and Li Dahua came back from chopping wood. Seeing Xu Congyi in the kitchen, they curiously asked him what delicious food he was going to make today.

"Grandma, Mom, let's eat beef-filled buns tonight."

When Xu's mother and Li Dahua heard that it was steamed buns, they quickly went to wash their hands and prepared to help.

Xu Congyi said he wanted to make small buns, and Li Dahua rolled the dough into long strips and cut it into small pieces. Xu's mother sat at one end of the table with a rolling pin in her hand. She first flattened the dough, then used the rolling pin to roll it out from the middle to the sides. After a while, the bun skins that were thick in the middle and thin on both sides were rolled out.

Xu Congyi took a piece of dough, put in the right amount of stuffing, pinched the edge of the dough with his thumb and index finger, gently rotated and pulled upward to form folds until the stuffing was completely wrapped. The stuffing had been in the refrigerator for a while and solidified, so it was not easy to leak out when wrapped. This is how the round and cute Xiaolongbao was born.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren worked well together and quickly wrapped all the dumplings. They put the dumplings into the steamer, keeping a certain distance between them, to let them rise for the second time. As time went by, the dumplings gradually became fuller in the steamer, as if they were accumulating strength and waiting for the delicious moment to come.

When the brothers Xu Congwen and Xu Cong'an returned home from school, they were attracted by the aroma wafting from the kitchen. Xu Cong'an couldn't wait to run to the kitchen, and when he saw the plates of white and plump dumplings, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wow, it's buns! But these buns are so small, I can eat twenty of them!" Xu Cong'an shouted excitedly.

Xu Congyi looked at his second brother with a smile and said, "Second brother, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

The two brothers quickly washed their hands and sat down at the dining table. The steaming dumplings exuded an alluring aroma that made people salivate. Old Man Xu and Hunter Xu also served soup and pickled vegetables respectively. The family sat together and began to enjoy this delicious dinner.

Xu picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. The delicious soup immediately spread in her mouth, and the mellow fragrance of the filling and the toughness of the dough intertwined on the tip of her tongue, forming an indescribable deliciousness. She ate it with great satisfaction, as if her whole body was surrounded by this deliciousness.

Xu Cong'an kept his word and ate 20 steamed dumplings. Fortunately, the dumplings were not big. After the 20th dumpling, Xu Cong'an wanted to take more. Xu's mother stopped him. Her grandson had gained a lot of weight in the past six months because of his greed. When he went out with his older grandson, people could hardly recognize that they were twins. Xu's mother couldn't help but feel a little worried. She was worried that if her grandson continued to eat like this, it would affect his health.

Seeing Xu Cong'an reluctant to part with the steamed buns, the rest of the Xu family burst into laughter. Xu Congyi also felt that he had been busy with Shen Xiao's affairs recently and it had been a long time since he had chatted with his family like this.
