Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 42 Dumplings

   Chinese New Year is coming soon.

Although there are fewer people in the family, this year still has to be lived, otherwise life would be too boring. After a few days, the charcoal girl's mood gradually improved, and she no longer hid in the room and cried every day. When Li Xin was busy in the kitchen, the little girl would also wear a clumsy padded coat and follow behind Li Xin to help.

It is natural to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Li Xin bought a dozen catties of pork from the market, chopped it into minced meat, and added other ingredients such as egg liquid to make dumpling stuffing. , Li Xin rolled out some dumpling wrappers and taught the little girl how to make dumplings.

   These dumplings were Li Xin’s favorite food in his previous life. He used to eat three bowls of dumplings by himself during Chinese New Year at home.

   Of course, this part of the reason is because my family was poor when I was a child, and I couldn’t eat meat. I could eat such a meal during the Chinese New Year. Naturally, I thought it was a delicious delicacy. Later, when I grew up, I couldn’t change this image.

In this day and age, this kind of dumplings are called jiaozi or crescent-shaped ravioli, but only the well-off people can afford them. In the past, during the Chinese New Year, it would be good for a charcoal girl to eat a little meat, and the elderly are not very good at it. Get these delicate meals, so the little girl has never seen these things.

   She sat in Li Xin's arms, imitating Li Xin's appearance, wrapping dumplings one by one.

  Li Xin held her little black hand and taught her hand by hand.

   The little girl is only five or six years old now, and due to malnutrition, she is extremely thin and small, sitting in Li Xin's arms like a doll.

   The dumplings are shaped under the hands of two people.

After about thirty or forty, Li Xin felt that it was almost the same. After all, there were only two of them, so he put the little girl down and said softly: "Eat the dumplings will make you smarter, and when the girl eats the dumplings, my brother will teach the girl tomorrow. Recognition, okay?"

   The little girl was still a little uncomfortable, so she couldn't laugh very much. She nodded to Li Xin, and went behind the stove to make a fire with the firewood.

   She was so clever that Li Xin felt a little distressed.

  The water soon boiled, Li Xin poured the dumplings in, and then waited for the dumplings in the pot to boil, then poured cold water in, and when the water boiled for the third time, the dumplings in the pot were considered cooked.

  Li Xin filled two big bowls and came out. When he was about to put down his chopsticks, a crisp voice came from the kitchen door.

"what to eat?"

   Li Xin froze, because this voice was very familiar to him.

   Li Xin turned around, and saw a little girl in a cloud-white jacket, standing at the kitchen door with a smile, staring at the dumplings on the table.

   Li Xin put down the chopsticks in his hand, took a few deep breaths, and walked up to Miss Jiu. He smiled and said, "How did you come in?"

   "The door was not closed, so I just came in."

   Miss Jiu said it righteously.

  Li Xin rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention to closing the door in the future. Is there anything? You can go back if it's okay."

   Miss Jiu raised her head, pointed to her nose, and said in a very proud tone: "Li Xin, you dare to talk to this girl like this, do you know who this girl is?"

  Li Xin frowned.

  This girl, is she going to show her identity?

Just when Li Xin was thinking wildly, the maid of the Wei Wang mansion raised her head, looked down at Li Xin, and said triumphantly, "This girl is the special maid of the Wei Wang mansion, and I specially convey to you the meaning of His Royal Highness Wei Wang, see me. It's like seeing King Wei!"

   After saying that, she didn't wait for Li Xin to react, so she passed Li Xin in her leisurely manner, and sat in Li Xin's original position confidently. After looking at the food on the table, her eyes lit up.

   "It turned out to be a slot."

   After that, she unceremoniously grabbed Li Xin's chopsticks and put one in her mouth. After chewing a few bites, her eyes lit up and she said, "It's much fresher than what I've eaten before!"

   Having said that, the girl sat on the table and began to bury her head in destroying the dumplings that originally belonged to Li Xin.

  Li Xin was standing behind her, speechless.

  This girl is not only a foodie, but also an inexplicable self-acquaintance. She has only met three times, and she no longer regards herself as an outsider.

The dumpling stuffing made by Li Xin is made of pork, egg white, and soy sauce. The taste is indeed more fragrant than that of this era, but even so, there is not too much difference. So the main reason for the delicious food is because she has never eaten pork, or she has never eaten pork at all.

People who can't afford pork are naturally not because they are poor. Many times it is because they are too rich, especially those high-ranking officials. They rarely touch such things as pork. The higher the status, the more likely they have never eaten pork. .

   Xiaojiu grew up so big that she even ate pork for the first time.

  Li Xin sat beside Miss Jiu speechlessly, watching the girl eat dumplings so deliciously, Li Xin had no choice but to get some dumplings for himself.

After eating, the little girl rushed to clean up the tableware and chopsticks to take to the kitchen for cleaning. In the past few days, the little girl came here like this. After the little girl left, Li Xin turned to look directly at the little girl, and smiled bitterly. : "Little Ninth girl, didn't you say it was good last time at the Wei Palace, the distance between us should be farther?"

  This girl is a real troublemaker. You must not go too close to her. Otherwise, with Li Xin's current power, he may not even know how he died.

   Miss Jiu put down the chopsticks in her hand, looked up at Li Xin, and said, "Young Master Li, that's what you said to yourself, but I didn't agree."

   She smiled mischievously: "I have to help the prince to pass orders to you, how can you stay far away?"

   As she spoke, the dumplings in her bowl had already been eaten, and this little girl knocked on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks.

   "Master Li, I'm not full..."

   Li Xin looked at the girl speechlessly.

  Although I don't know what her identity is, what is certain is that she is definitely not just a maid of the Wei palace.

  Thinking of this, Li Xin shook his head and said softly: "The dumplings are gone, I need to make some more."

  Xiaojiu stood up in high spirits, and said excitedly: "That's great, I'll get some for myself, and when the festival comes, I'll make some for... for some elders in the family."

  Li Xin shook his head and began to teach her how to make dumplings step by step. Now, it is unrealistic to get rid of the nine girls in a short period of time.

  This little girl, the origin is definitely not simple...

so sleepy. Good night
