After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

When they returned to the Youth League Home, it was already late, and Shen Xiaoxia put all the things she bought into place.

After a busy day, I didn’t feel like making dinner, so I just grabbed a fast food meal from my space.

After eating, I washed up and went to bed early.

When she got up in the morning, Shen Xiaoxia first collected the ice in the wooden barrel and basin, and then refilled them with water.

After a simple breakfast, Shen Xiaoxia looked at the pork belly she brought back yesterday and planned to make dumplings.

I believe many people know how to make dumplings. Even in modern times, making dumplings is a skill that many people know.

The difficulty in making dumplings at this time is rolling out the dough yourself.

In modern times, many people make dumplings by simply buying ready-made dumpling wrappers.

Fortunately, this was not a difficult problem for Shen Xiaoxia. She always felt that the dumpling wrappers she rolled out herself were tastier than those made by machines outside.

If she has enough time, Shen Xiaoxia prefers to roll out the dough and make dumplings herself.

Shen Xiaoxia plans to prepare the necessary materials first.

Take the flour out of the cupboard and pour it into a small wooden basin used in the kitchen.

Make a small well in the middle of the flour and add warm water into it in batches. If you use warm water to knead the dough, the dough will be easier to shape.

It should also be noted that the amount of water should be added as appropriate based on the degree of moisture of the flour.

After adding water, stir the flour evenly, then knead the flour with your hands to form a dough.

Cover the kneaded dough with a damp cloth.

Shen Xiaoxia plans to let the dough rise for an hour, so that it can be more relaxed and convenient for later operations.

While the dough was rising, Shen Xiaoxia prepared the dumpling fillings. She planned to make dumplings with two kinds of fillings: pork and corn and pork and cabbage.

As for processing pork, there is actually a meat grinder in the kitchen of Shen Xiaoxia's space, but Shen Xiaoxia still plans to chop it by hand so that the meat will be more chewy.

Dice the pork belly and chop into a large bowl.

Add salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper and other seasonings into the bowl, and also add onion and ginger water to remove the fishy smell.

Mix the meat and seasonings well and divide the meat mixture into two bowls.

Then take out the corn, shell the kernels and wash them clean. Shen Xiaoxia plans to cook the corn kernels first, which will make the corn sweeter and taste better.

Wash the cabbage, drain the water, and then cut into cubes.

Add a small amount of salt to the chopped cabbage, let it sit for twenty minutes, and then manually squeeze out the water from the cabbage.

After preparing both fillings, the dough is almost ready.

Shen Xiaoxia sprinkled some dry flour on the chopping board, and then placed the dough that had been proofed on the chopping board.

Make a hole in the middle of the dough, then pick up the dough with both hands and rotate it in circles to stretch it out.

When the dough becomes a circle, pull it apart to make a long strip.

Shen Xiaoxia felt that it was still a bit thick, so she divided the long strip into three parts and continued to knead it until it was of the right thickness.

Then cut the strips of dough into small pieces and finally roll them into round dumpling wrappers.

Some flour should also be sprinkled between the rolled dumpling wrappers to prevent them from sticking together.

After washing her hands, Shen Xiaoxia moved the prepared fillings and dumpling wrappers into the room and placed them on the desk.

Pick up a dumpling wrapper and place it in the palm of your left hand.

Use chopsticks in your right hand to pick up an appropriate amount of filling and place it in the center of the dumpling wrapper.

The amount of filling should be moderate. If there is too much, the filling will easily come out. If there is too little, the taste will not be so good.

Next, dip your finger in a little water and apply it along the edge of the dumpling wrapper. This will help the dumpling wrapper stick together better.

Then, fold the wrapper in half, starting from one side, and gently pinch the edges together between your thumb and index finger.

Pinch and push forward carefully to ensure that the dumpling wrappers are tightly stuck together without leaving any gaps.

As Shen Xiaoxia continued to work, small and exquisite dumplings were completed.

Finally, Shen Xiaoxia carefully placed the wrapped dumplings in a clean basket and put them outside. After the dumplings were frozen, she put them back in the kitchen.

At noon, Shen Xiaoxia cooked five dumplings stuffed with corn and pork and five dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork.

After cooking, I tasted them and found that both fillings tasted great!

Dumplings stuffed with corn and pork have thin skin and rich filling, and are tender and juicy!

One bite and you’ll find the perfect blend of the sweetness of corn and the freshness of pork. The unique taste leaves you with an unforgettable aftertaste!

The dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork have a delicate texture and are fresh and delicious. The crisp sweetness of the cabbage mixed with the rich aroma of the pork makes the dumplings taste more refreshing and makes people unable to stop eating.

The dumplings Shen Xiaoxia made were quite big. After eating ten of them, Shen Xiaoxia was full.

In the afternoon, Shen Xiaoxia was bored and didn't want to read, so she decided to go find Han Zhuxin to chat.

Shen Xiaoxia went over and knocked on her door. Han Zhuxin was in the room cutting fabric and sewing clothes. When she heard the knock on the door, she asked, "Who is it?"

Shen Xiaoxia heard her voice and replied, "It's me."

When Han Zhuxin heard that it was Shen Xiaoxia, she looked at the things spread on the kang, thought for a moment, but still didn't put them away.

He stood up and opened the door, "Come in."

When Shen Xiaoxia walked in and saw the cloth, scissors, needles and thread that Han Zhuxin had placed on the kang, she knew that she must be making clothes.

She actually knew that Han Zhuxin would make clothes and sell them, not because Han Zhuxin was exposed, but because she knew the plot.

Although the current plot is very different from the book, Han Zhuxin's life path has not changed.

Usually when someone came, Han Zhuxin would put things away in advance. But today, when Shen Xiaoxia saw the things just lying there on the kang, she was stunned for a moment.

Han Zhuxin thought she was stunned because she was surprised by those things, and asked her with a smile, "Come and take a look?"

Although Shen Xiaoxia knew it, she still pretended not to understand and asked her, "What are you doing?"

Han Zhuxin walked over, picked up the clothing scissors and continued cutting, "I think I have a little talent in designing and sewing clothes.

Looking at my usual appearance, you probably think that I come from a wealthy family and am very favored at home.

Actually, that’s not the case. After my mother passed away, my father married a stepmother.

As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. My stepmother wanted to plot against me and get the job left by my mother, but I saw through her plan and plotted back.

Later, I sold my job, took most of my family savings, and went to the countryside.

I probably won’t be going back in the future. I’m doing this to prepare for the future. I can’t just sit there and eat up all the money I have.”

Han Zhuxin had never mentioned these to outsiders. She was willing to tell Shen Xiaoxia today because she really regarded her as a friend.

Although Shen Xiaoxia knew all this, when she heard Han Zhuxin say it today, she felt a different feeling in her heart.

He walked over and patted Han Zhuxin's shoulder gently.

"Zhu Xin, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else what you told me today, and I will keep it a secret for you.

I always think you are so amazing and great!

If you don't mind, you can treat my parents as yours from now on. They're very nice people and they definitely won't mind having another daughter!"

When Han Zhuxin heard Shen Xiaoxia say this, a warm feeling flowed through her heart, "Okay! Thank you, Xia Xia!"

Without getting to the bottom of things, Shen Xiaoxia asked Han Zhuxin how she sold the clothes, to whom, and how much she sold them for.

Even if you are as close as family, you still need to know when to stop.

Han Zhuxin also knew that Shen Xiaoxia always knew her limits and never asked questions that she shouldn't.

It was easy to get along with her, which was why she was willing to talk about her situation today.

In the afternoon, Shen Xiaoxia was in the house watching Han Zhuxin make clothes. She was currently making spring clothes.

Shen Xiaoxia picked up a few finished clothes and looked at them. She was very tempted and said she wanted to buy one.

Han Zhuxin said very generously, no need to buy it, just give her one directly!

Let Shen Xiaoxia come and pick it when she wants it.

Shen Xiaoxia accepted her kindness without hesitation. After all, she really liked her and she would repay her in the future.

The two girls became closer this afternoon.
