“All right,” Lin Zheng said excitedly, “I’ll go now.”
He became hungrier now that he knew he could eat dumplings soon.
“We’ll help too.” Everyone wanted to help, so they cleaned and poured water into the pots while the others chopped firewood and packed the things they had used.
Fortunately, the pot was massive, allowing them to put more dumplings in simultaneously. The two big pots were enough for everyone to eat. Although they had made plenty of dumplings, they could also fry the leftovers for tomorrow.
Lin Zheng moved swiftly and started to boil the water. After lighting the fire, he added more firewood to the furnace. The flame grew, making the water boil faster.
Soon, he noticed the lid moving and said, “Master, the water has started boiling. ”
When Su Binglan heard Lin Zhengs words, she added a plate of dumplings to the pot. Then she looked at the rising steam and smiled. “l didn’t expect the water to boil so quickly.”
Then she turned around and told Aunt Song, “Please bring more dumplings over with everyone.”
“Yes, Madam.” Aunt Songs voice was loud and crisp. She and the others hurriedly brought over the other dumplings.
“You can add the dumplings to the pot when the water starts boiling,” Su Binglan explained to everyone.
Lin Zheng noticed his master was about to cook more dumplings and hurriedly went to open the lid. When Su Binglan saw this, she quickly pressed down on the lid and said, “Open the pot slowly since the heat is too strong.” “Oh.” Lin Zheng was so anxious that he forgot about that simple thing.
After slowly opening the lid, Su Binglan placed the dumplings inside and stirred them. Then she taught everyone the methods and steps.
Everyone could smell the dumplings’ fragrance from the pot.
“They smell so good!”
“They must be delicious! ”
Everyone looked expectant as their eyes widened so much that they were about to drop into the pot. Everyone knew the food would be delicious when they worked together to make them. Furthermore, they smelled the fillings as they made them.
When Su Binglan removed the dumplings from the pot, everyone ate at two tables. Everyone was full of praise after taking just a bite.
“Wow, it’s delicious!”
“It’s all thanks to Madam. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have such delicious food.’
“So, these are dumplings, huh? We have many fillings, but they’re all tasty.”
Everyone had dumplings with different fillings on their plates, and they could taste the different flavors.
Su Binglan smiled when she saw everyone’s excited expressions. “Eat more, everyone. We have so many.”
“Hehe, we won’t argue with that, Madam.”
“l think I can eat two platefuls. They’re too delicious!”
The three children also enjoyed the dumplings.
Suddenly, Su Binglan remembered to prepare the dip, so she went to peel and mince some garlic. Afterward, she poured soy sauce on the mixed garlic and prepared a bowl of vinegar for everyone.
“We usually eat dumplings with vinegar. The taste is pretty good. You can dip them in garlic, too.”
Everyone looked at Su Binglan gratefully and said, “Thank you, Madam!”
The villagers dipped their dumplings in the vinegar and minced garlic immediately after. They felt the dumplings tasted unique with all the different fillings.
Su Binglan sat beside Luo Jin’an and watched him eat the dumplings. She asked softly, “Are they good?” “Yes, of course, they are. You should eat more too.”
Su Binglan nodded. “Yeah, sure.”
Although she was also busy eating, her attention was on her husband. She noticed Luo Jin’an was eating more hawthorn dumplings compared to the rest.
“Do you like the hawthorn dumplings?”
Luo Jin’an nodded smilingly. He looked at his wife and said, ‘Yes, I think the hawthorn filling is very delicious.”
He had never tasted anything like it before and thought it was unique. He thought the hawthorn dumplings were better than the rest and could not help but eat a few more.
Su Binglan laughed despite herself when she saw her husband’s ferocious appetite. She still wanted to continue cooking more food tomorrow.
Luo Jin’an’s body was already much better, as he did not look like when he had just regained consciousness. He could eat a lot more solid foods now instead of light ones.
Therefore, Su Binglan planned to make fried dumplings with hawthorns for him tomorrow morning.
Everyone ate and drank a lot, but they were not satisfied. However, they knew they should not disturb their master’s rest and helped to clean the dishes instead. After tidying up the place, everyone went home.
Luo Jin’an was about to get busy since the Shadow Guards had sent him some information during the day. He wanted to read the information and issue new orders.
Su Binglan looked at her busy husband at the table and did not disturb him. Instead, she went to the courtyard to check on the bison she had caught. She observed its condition and found no issues.
The villagers had already fed the bison, and it looked like it was in good condition. Moreover, it appeared obedient when Su Binglan touched its fur.
The bison even buried its head into her hands as if it was acting coquettishly.
Perhaps Su Binglan’s aura made the animal unable to resist approaching her. Maybe it was also Su Binglan’s abilities. She could not help but laugh as she looked at the bison’s obedient appearance.
Soon after, she poured some spiritual spring water for the bison. The animal lowered its head to smell the water and started to drink. Afterward, it licked the bowl clean and wagged its tail.
Indeed, it was strange for a bison to behave so coquettishly, but Su Binglan thought it was pretty cute. She said, “You must produce more milk for me, okay? Then I’ll give you more spiritual spring water.”
She knew the bison enjoyed drinking her spiritual spring water. The bison seemed to understand what the human meant and nodded. Su Binglan was in disbelief when she saw the bison nodding.
“Am I psychic?”
Su Binglan was quite delighted when she noticed how intelligent the bison was. Then she went to the stove and took a few dumplings to feed it. Bison only ate grass, but she realized the one she had liked eating dumplings, too.
At least it looked like it enjoyed the dumplings.
Su Binglan raised her eyebrows.
‘It seems I’ll have to return to Black Mountain Forest more often if I have time.
Perhaps I can find more treasures.’
She stood up and looked toward Black Mountain Forest in the distance. There were faint flashes of light above the mountain under the night sky. She raised her eyebrows again.
Meanwhile, Luo Jin’an busied himself for a while. He only left the house when he noticed his wife was not inside. He saw her in the courtyard, walked over, and said, “It’s cold outside. Why don’t you come inside?”
“l noticed how busy you were and thought 1 wouldn’t be able to help myself from disturbing you if I were around.” Su Binglan suspected she had gotten too used to sticking by her husband’s side after finally reuniting with him.
“It’s all right,” Luo Jin’an said gently, “You won’t disturb me. You can do whatever you want..”
