Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

The steaming dumplings look so pleasing to the eye when they are just out of the pot.

It looks like a half-moon hanging in the air, and its color is like that of a lustrous jade. The skin is thin and the filling is large, and you can vaguely see the richness of the filling inside.

If you look closely, you will see that the folds of the dumplings are thin and neat, like carefully embroidered patterns, and the circles around them make them look even more delicate and unique.

Of course, there are some that don’t look so perfect, with twisted folds or slightly distorted shapes, but they also have a unique kind of simple beauty.

"The dumplings are out of the pot! Come sit down and try them! I'll get some dipping sauce!"

The dipping sauce for dumplings varies from person to person and each has its own merits.

Some people prefer just vinegar, while others like to add various seasonings. Those who like stronger flavors will even add an extra spoonful of chili oil.

Shen Shulan couldn't wait any longer. In the past, she always ate ready-made delicacies and was just a pure foodie. But now, these dumplings also contain her masterpieces.

After pouring in effort and hard work, the dumplings seem to taste even more tempting.

She was the first to pick up a dumpling and bring it to her mouth. She took a light bite and the delicious soup immediately flowed out.

As soon as your lips and teeth touch, the delicious flavor spreads in your mouth instantly. Chew it carefully, and the chewiness of the dumpling skin and the mellow taste of the filling mix together, and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.

I picked up another dumpling, and the slippery surface almost made me lose my grip with my chopsticks. Fortunately, the dumpling filling was plump and elastic, and it was stuck firmly with one pick.

This time, Shen Shulan planned to try it with the sauce, so he gently rolled the dumplings into it. The surface was instantly covered with a layer of light brown sauce, giving it a mottled luster.

In order to prevent the round dumplings from burning the corners of his mouth, Shen Shulan opened his mouth a little wider, and the heat spread in his mouth, exuding a fresh fragrance, with the mellowness of pork and the freshness of cabbage.

The chopped meat filling has a thick and delicate texture. You can feel the hot and fragrant juice splashing in your mouth while chewing. It is the perfect fusion of cabbage juice and meat juice.

The sauce for dipping dumplings is salty and delicious. The soy sauce is salty and sweet, the mashed garlic is spicy to the right degree, and although the sesame oil has a light taste, it greatly enhances the flavor of the meat filling.

After Shen Shulan swallowed the dumplings, he felt the moist and fresh taste in his mouth lingering for a long time. The tip of his tongue was slightly numb, as if the heat and sesame oil had worked together, leaving a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth.

For a moment, everyone at the table fell silent, savoring the fruits of their morning's labor.

The dumpling skin tastes particularly smooth and chewy. Cheng Yuntao feels that even eating the skin alone is a pleasure.

Blow on the dumplings near your mouth for a while, then bite into them. The hot steam will burst out. The juicy dumplings are fresh, fragrant and delicate, and the meat filling is thick and chewy.

Because the fat and lean parts were just right and chopped with great force, the meat looked very delicate and smooth. She silently gave herself a thumbs up for her knife skills.

As more and more hot dumplings were eaten, everyone's eating speed gradually slowed down.

Zhou Xiufang was the first to put down her bowl and chopsticks. The wrinkles on her face seemed to be smoothed out by the heat of the dumplings, and each line seemed to contain satisfaction and relief.

She tilted her head back slightly, her eyes closed gently, as if savoring the lingering aroma of the dumplings, her throat rolling slightly as she swallowed the last bit of deliciousness.

After a long time, she opened her eyes, with a look of contentment and laziness in her eyes. She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"These dumplings are really good."

"In the past, only during the Chinese New Year would we prepare a proper meal, and dumplings, as an indispensable dish on the table, also symbolize good luck."

"When I was starving, I always thought, if I could just hold on a little longer, I could eat hot dumplings and meat during the Chinese New Year."

"Life is really getting better now. We don't have to celebrate the Lunar New Year, and we don't have to stay up late. We can eat whenever we want. It's so relaxing."

After moving into the cave, Zhou Xiufang no longer had to worry about her daily meals or housework. Naturally, her spirits improved and she looked even younger than before.

Shen Shulan was actually quite curious about Cheng Yuntao, such as her background, who she learned her cooking skills from, and how she managed to obtain so many fresh ingredients in the harsh weather of this cold winter...

But when she was about to ask, Cheng Yuntao took the lead.

"By the way, Sister Shen, you haven't really talked to me about Junhua City in such a long time."

"I only knew there was such a place before; I had a vague, general impression of it in my mind, but if I were to delve deeper, I'd be completely clueless."

"Since the atmosphere is so good and everyone is so relaxed and harmonious, why don't you tell us about the big and small things happening in Junhua City?"

"This way, when I come down the mountain to the city to look for you, I'll have more peace of mind."

When it comes to understanding Junhua City, no one knows it better than Shen Shulan. She grew up there and is not only familiar with the city's environment, but also with its customs and regulations.

Ask Shen Shulan first to avoid wasting unnecessary energy in the future.

Hearing this, the rest of the people couldn't help but slow down their movements. They had been living in this cave and naturally yearned for a prosperous place.

I've secretly been excited countless times since I learned I'd have the chance to live in the city. Even though I can't go right away, it's still wonderful to hear about it from others.

"Yes, yes, Sister Shen, please tell us." Cheng Yueli opened her eyes wide and stared at Shen Shulan eagerly.

Apart from Cheng Yuntao, Shen Shulan's favorite here is Cheng Yueli. Not only is she kind-hearted, but she is also very cute. When faced with her coquettishness, Shen Shulan simply cannot refuse her.

Besides, it is not difficult to introduce Junhua City casually, so she is naturally happy to do so.

"Since you're all curious, I'll give you a brief introduction. However, from my personal perspective, it might not be that complete."

"Junhua City is quite large, and it covers many aspects. I wonder which part you are most interested in?"

Cheng Yuntao considered for a while based on what was needed now, then looked up and said.

"Since I plan to make a living by cooking in Junhua City, I naturally need to be familiar with the layout of the city's markets and the taste preferences of the residents."

"Then please trouble Sister Shen to tell us about this part first."

Shen Shulan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. "Okay! Then let me first introduce the layout of Junhua City to everyone."
