Chapter 95 Dumpling War

On the day of the winter solstice, the dumpling window in the school cafeteria was full of people.

Wang Qi also pulled Kong Liu and the others to line up to eat dumplings.

I remember that during the winter solstice last year, it was Wang Qi who treated everyone in the dormitory to dumplings.

As a northerner who came to a southern city like Zhonghai to go to college, a large part of my homesickness was focused on food.

Just like Chen Zhirui often talks about the stir-fried beef noodles and hand-made beef balls from his hometown.

Gong Liu and Du Hongyuan cannot feel this feeling of leaving their hometown.

Maybe he earned a lot of money at the Heping Residence, so Wang Qi generously bought a hundred yuan worth of dumplings today to treat everyone in the dormitory.

Four people gathered at a table for four in the corner of the cafeteria, happily eating dumplings and chatting.

Ever since Wang Qi and Kong Liu started dating, the four of them in the dormitory have had fewer dinners together. The last time they had dinner together was on the first night that Kong Liu went to Gu Chenxi's house to be a tutor.

In a blink of an eye, almost two months have passed. Time flies so fast.

"The dumplings in the cafeteria are quick-frozen, and they are not edible at all."

Wang Qi ate two dumplings at a time and said, "My mom's sauerkraut and pork dumplings are the best."

Chen Zhirui asked curiously: "What do sauerkraut pork dumplings taste like? Will dumplings made with sauerkraut really taste good?"

"Emma, it must be delicious!" Wang Qi patted his chest and said, "If you have a chance, come to my house and try my mom's cooking. The skin is thin and the filling is big. The dumplings are so delicious that they will make you dizzy."

Du Hongyuan asked back: "How delicious is it?"

Wang Qi replied: "It's just very delicious!"

Gong Yoo was more concerned about another question. He asked, "Won't the dumplings with thin skin and big filling break?"

“No, no, no.” Wang Qi waved his hand and said, “If you make the dumpling wrappers stronger and more resilient, they won’t break when you cook them. They’ll also taste better than the crap they sell in the cafeteria.”

When Kong Liu heard Wang Qi's words, he immediately asked, "Do you know how to make dumpling wrappers? Teach me."

Even though Kong Yoo boasted to Gu Chenxuan that he could make dumplings by himself, he could only wrap meat fillings in semi-finished dumpling skins and cook them, but he didn't know how to make dumpling skins.

He had originally planned to go to the supermarket in the afternoon to buy some dumpling wrappers and meat fillings to make dumplings at school. Now that Wang Qi suddenly mentioned making dumplings, he was also very interested and wanted to learn how to make dumpling wrappers.

"Yes, my mother taught me when I was a child." Wang Qi looked at Kong Liu and asked, "Why are you asking this? You don't want to make dumplings in the dormitory, do you?"

Gong Liu smiled and said, "You are quite smart."

Du Hongyuan tilted his head and looked at Kong Liu, and said, "You don't want to make dumplings for Gu Chenxi yourself, do you?"

"Tsk." After Du Hongyuan told him about his plan, Kong Liu clicked his tongue and said, "You are smarter."

"Okay, okay, let's play like this, eh?" Du Hongyuan said, biting his back teeth, "You want to make dumplings in the dormitory, I'm the first one to stop you!"

"invalid objection."

Kong Liu looked at Wang Qi expectantly and asked, "What materials do you need? Send them to me and I'll go to the supermarket to buy them this afternoon."

"Okay, buy an extra portion when you buy the ingredients, hehe." Wang Qi said with a grin, "I also want to make one for Xue'er to try, but I don't know if I can buy the big jar of pickled cabbage from my hometown in Zhonghai."

Gong Liu said to Wang Qi confidently, "Just tell me what you need, I'll find a way to get it for you. I'm sure I can make dumplings."

Wang Qi said: "That's great, let's not leave tonight, just spend the New Year here and ______ together!"

Chen Zhirui whispered, "Brother, it's a line from the Spring Festival Gala."

Du Hongyuan thought for a long time, then took out his phone and sent a message to Shen Xia: "What flavor of dumplings do you like?"

Shen Xia, who was accompanying Gu Chenxi to the supermarket, was stunned when she saw the message sent by Du Hongyuan.

Gu Chenxi was holding a bag of dumpling wrappers in his hand. He looked at Shen Xia who was standing there looking at her phone and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Xia looked up at Gu Chenxi and said, "Du Hongyuan suddenly asked me what flavor of dumplings I like."

Gu Chenxi pursed her lips, trying not to smile, and asked, "So what's your reply?"

Shen Xia turned off her phone and put it in her pocket: "I said I don't like dumplings."

"Uh……"

Gu Chenxi was silenced by Shen Xia's words. She rolled her eyes, turned and walked towards the pork stall.

She was thinking: "Xiaoxia is such an idiot that she can even break the steel bars that Yue Lao tied to her, unlike me, a gentle and considerate invincible beautiful girl who makes dumplings for her boyfriend on the winter solstice."

After buying the ingredients, Gu Chenxi rushed back to school. After stewing chicken soup at home, this was her second time cooking - making dumplings at school.

This time she learned her lesson and watched a lot of dumpling-making videos in advance. She also asked her three other roommates to help her - even though none of them had ever made dumplings before.

Gu Chenxi made up his mind: "I must make the baby look at me with new eyes this time!"

For Gu Chenxi's love, Shen Xia, Lin Zhi and Zhou Xiaonan helped very hard. The girls' dormitory was busy in full swing, and the boys' dormitory also started the project of making dumplings.

It only took Kong Liu half an hour to buy everything Wang Qi wanted. The two of them started making dumplings in the dormitory, and Chen Zhirui helped them wash the vegetables.

At this moment, Du Hongyuan was the only one lying on the bed, feeling sad and lamenting the ruthlessness of the world and the cruelty of love.

No one knew what was wrong with this kid, all they knew was that he looked listless after coming back from dinner.

Wang Qi taught Gong Liu how to knead the dough, and then told him the technique of letting the dough rise: "Let's make a simple dough like this first, then cover it with a wet cloth and let it rise for 15 minutes, and then knead it again..."

Gong Yoo listened carefully and took every detail that Wang Qi said into his mind.

While the dough was resting, they began to prepare the dumpling filling.

Gu Chenxuan told Kong Liu that Gu Chenxi liked to eat dumplings with cabbage and pork, so he bought cabbage. Wang Qi wanted to eat sauerkraut pork from his hometown, so Kong Liu found a way to get a large jar of yellow and white sauerkraut from the north. In addition, Kong Liu also bought some mushrooms, shrimps and shepherd's purse.

After a busy afternoon, Gong Yoo and his roommates' dormitory was finally finished. Since there were so many dumplings, the table for four people could no longer accommodate them, so they simply put a clean plastic bag on the bed and placed the dumplings on it.

Kong Yoo and Wang Qi borrowed all the small electric cookers from the surrounding dormitories. There were seven or eight small electric cookers, and it took them two rounds to finish cooking the dumplings - except for the dumplings left for their partners.

Because they had never used so many illegal electrical appliances in the dormitory at once, they were very nervous when they were cooking dumplings, fearing that the electrical wires would be burned and the dormitory manager would come to find them.

Fortunately, the power of the small electric cookers was all within the dormitory's power limit, so this did not happen.

[This is a dangerous behavior, I don’t recommend you learn it. If you learn it and get caught by the dormitory manager, don’t come to me! ]
