The shepherd's purse dug up yesterday has been washed clean and the water has been drained.

Now we are going to start processing the pork belly. First, chop it into fine minced meat, then chop the shepherd's purse into small pieces. Put them in a large bowl and add appropriate amount of seasoning. Stir gently with chopsticks to allow the chopped shepherd's purse and minced meat to fully blend together. The dumpling filling is ready!

Next, it was time to make the dumpling wrappers. Yao Qingnian skillfully scooped out a few spoonfuls of flour, poured it into a large basin, slowly added some warm water, and kneaded the dough with her hands. After a while, the loose flour turned into a smooth and soft big dumpling.

Place the kneaded dough on the chopping board and use a rolling pin to roll it into thin, round dumpling skins.

"Mom, let's have dumplings tonight. I'll go call Erya and Shuangshuang to help make dumplings."

Yao Qingnian went to Luo Erya's house and asked her to come over to help make dumplings. The important thing is to participate, and the dumplings made by yourself are the most delicious.

"Er Ya, are you home?"

Yao Qingnian shouted outside the yard.

"I am here!"

Luo Erya ran out of the yard, looking unhappy.

"What's wrong? You don't look well."

"Maybe you didn't get enough rest. Is there something you want to talk to me about? Qingnian."

Luo Erya forced a smile. It seemed that something had happened to her, but since she didn't say anything, Yao Qingnian didn't dare to ask more.

"You forgot! Didn't I promise you that I would make shepherd's purse dumplings for you? Look, I've already prepared the fillings and dumpling wrappers, and I'm just waiting for you to come over to my house and make them together!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Luo Erya closed the gate of the courtyard.

"Go to Shuangshuang's house first and call her."

The two of them walked towards Lu Shuangshuang's home together. Yao Qingnian stopped not far from Lu Shuangshuang's home and asked Erya to go over and call her. If she went over and met Ge later, she would not be able to explain herself clearly. It was not that she was afraid of her, but she just thought it was better to have less trouble than more.

"Is Shuangshuang here?"

Luo Erya shouted outside the door.

"Mom, Erya called me, I'm going out to take a look."

"You're just a money-loser! You run out every day. There's so much work to do at home, why don't you find something to do?"

Ge's scolding was heard in the yard, but Lu Shuangshuang ignored it, opened the door and walked out. She was used to Ge's scolding.

"Er Ya, why are you here!"

Luo Erya said at the gate of the courtyard: "Let's go to Qingnian's house to make dumplings. We dug shepherd's purse two days ago and made shepherd's purse dumplings."

Lu Shuangshuang looked into the yard and didn't see Ge, so she said, "Okay! You go first, I'll come later, I still have some work to do."

"Okay, then I'll go to Qingnian's house and wait for you."

"You stupid girl! Why don't you come back quickly? Why are you lingering at the door? If you don't come back, I'll beat you to death."

"I won't talk to you anymore, I'll go in first!"

Lu Shuangshuang quickly closed the gate, returned home and continued working.

Luo Erya shook her head helplessly and looked at Yao Qingnian who was not far away and walking towards her. Even without Erya saying anything, Yao Qingnian knew that it must be Ge who asked Shuangshuang to do the work again.

"Shuangshuang said she would come back later because she still had some work to do."

"Then let's make it ourselves and let her eat the ready-made ones!"

It was within Yao Qingnian's expectations.

At this time, the yard of Yao Qingnian's house was already filled with milk tea cups, and there was almost no space left to put them.

"Uncle Lu, is your leg feeling better?"

As soon as Luo Erya entered the yard, she saw Lu Mingchuan who was carving.

"Haha, Arya is here! I'm much better now. I'll be able to stand up soon."

Lu Mingchuan replied with a smile. After being exposed to the sunlight, his face was no longer as pale as before and he looked healthier and healthier.

"Wow! Qing Nian, these cups are so pretty! Why are there so many? What do you use them for?"

When Luo Erya saw these cups, her bad mood was cured at once, and all her worries were thrown behind her. She ran to the yard, picked them up, looked at them from left to right, and liked them very much.

"Pack up some milk tea! If you like, pick two to take back later."

Yao Qingnian generously let Luo Erya choose by herself.

"Then I won't be polite. What is engraved on the cup? It's so special."

"The one you're holding is a cartoon cat, and the one next to it is a couple's cup, one for a boy and one for a girl."

"Couple cups? Then I can take one back and I can have one with my Danniu, so we'll be a perfect pair."

Luo Erya decided that this was it, and it was just right to take it back.

"Of course you can! You shouldn't show off your affection like this!"

Yao Qingnian joked.

"You are already an old married couple, what's the point of showing off your affection? Wait until your Lu Huaijin comes back, that's when your affection will begin!"

Luo Erya covered her mouth and laughed.

"We were talking about you and your Daniel, how did you get me involved?! Let's go, let's go make dumplings!"

Yao Qingnian changed the subject, went to the kitchen, took out the prepared dumpling skins and fillings, and brought them to the yard.

"Mom, I'll make some too!"

Yinuo volunteered, he had never made dumplings before!

"Okay, go wash your hands first."

Yao Qingnian was the first to make a plump white and white Yuanbao dumpling.

"Qing Nian, the shape of your dumplings is so beautiful, teach me!"

What's so difficult about this? Yao Qingnian likes to eat dumplings and has specially studied various ways of making and eating dumplings. In her free time, she would run to her master's house and pester her master's wife to cook dumplings for her. The willow-leaf shape of the green dumplings is actually the modern steamed dumplings. She can make Yuanbao dumplings, Four Happiness dumplings, and so on.

In her previous life, Yao Qingnian liked to study all kinds of delicious dishes, but unfortunately she didn't have much time. Apart from her special agent missions, she spent most of her time in the laboratory doing research, and most of the time she had to eat instant noodles.

She once fantasized that if she retired one day, she would definitely find a quiet small county town, buy a villa, study various delicacies every day, plant flowers, walk the dog, and enjoy the sunrise and sunset.

Yinuo had never made dumplings before, and the filling leaked out of the first one he made.

"Oh no! Mom, why are the fillings leaking out of the dumplings I made?"

"It's okay, just pack another one."

Yao Qingnian encouraged Yinuo, and he continued to wrap the second one. Although it was a bit ugly, it was wrapped at least.

"Haha, look, I finally finished wrapping it."

Yinuo held up the dumplings and showed them to them with flour all over his face, and he made better and better dumplings.

After a while, dumplings of various shapes were wrapped.

"It's done. Just wait, I'll go cook it."

When the water in the pot is heated to boiling, gently put the wrapped dumplings in. When the water boils again, the dumplings float to the surface one by one, like lively little fish swimming freely.

At this point, the key step is to add cold water. This operation needs to be repeated three times, adding an appropriate amount of cold water each time to lower the water temperature slightly so that the dumplings can be heated evenly.

The originally flat dumplings gradually became plump, their bellies bulged out, revealing an attractive luster.

Finally, scoop out the dumplings, put them in a bowl, and top them with delicious soy sauce, vinegar and mashed garlic. The steaming delicious dumplings will be in front of you.

"Alright! Freshly-made dumplings!"

"Why hasn't Shuangshuang come yet?"

Maybe it was delayed by Ge again.

"Eat first! There's more in the pot. I'll serve her a bowl later."

"Then let's get started!"

I picked one up and put it in my mouth. I took a bite and it was fresh, fragrant and juicy, leaving me with an endless aftertaste.

"Enjoy this shepherd's purse dumpling."

Wow, it’s so hot…

"Eat slowly!"

Yao Qingnian warned.

After finishing the dumplings, everyone was so full that they sat on the stools and didn't want to move. They sat there quietly with satisfied looks on their faces. The room was filled with the strong aroma of dumplings, which was full of the taste of home.
