Zhao Yunxi is responsible for rolling out the dough to make the dumpling wrappers, while Su Meng is responsible for making the dumpling fillings.

The fillings are a big undertaking, because they have prepared five kinds of fillings, including corn and carrot minced meat filling, leek and pork filling, celery and fungus filling, taro and diced meat filling and fresh shrimp filling.

With so many fillings, if Su Meng had to make it alone, he might not be able to make it well even if he made it all morning.

During the winter solstice festival in the past, there were only three of them, grandma and grandson, so the servants had to stay and help them with cooking and other things.

But this year is different. There are three more women in the family, and they can do all the cooking.

It was Zhao Yunxi and Su Meng who suggested giving them a day off today so that they could go home and spend the winter with their families.After all, on such a festival, it is natural to hope that the family can be reunited.

So there are no servants to help, so they have to do it themselves.

In order to speed up the progress, Lin Zhenzhu, Zhao Jiaying, Ou Zichen and Ou Zilong also joined Su Meng's work.

Su Meng chopped pork stuffing and diced meat, while Zhao Jiaying helped peel corn kernels, peel carrots and taro.Lin Zhuzhen helped wash the vegetables, Ou Zilong handled the shrimps, and Ou Zichen was responsible for frying the fillings.

The family divides labor and cooperates very well, and the efficiency is naturally very high.In about an hour, all the fillings for the dumplings were ready.

Zhao Yunxi also finished the dumpling wrappers.It was not easy for her to roll out the dough alone and get so many dumpling skins out.

I had to stand up the whole time, and now my back was a little sore.

Ou Zichen felt sorry for her: "Honey, you've worked hard. How about we make the dumplings later? You can take a rest."

"It's okay, my body is not that weak."

"Then let me rub your shoulders!"

Without waiting for Zhao Yunxi to agree, he immediately did what he said and started to rub Zhao Yunxi's shoulders gently.

Such a sweet scene made Su Meng envious and said something involuntarily.

"My eldest brother and sister-in-law are so loving, so enviable!"

Such words made Ou Zilong realize that he had not done his duty as a husband, so he also stepped forward to massage Su Meng's shoulders.

"Honey, you've worked hard too, I'll rub it for you too."

In the end, Su Meng said to him: "An afterthought!"

It immediately caused everyone to laugh.

Hahaha……

Lin Zhenzhu smiled and said: "Zilong, you still have to learn from your elder brother in the future, how to love your wife!"

Ou Zilong replied humbly: "I know, grandma."

The fillings and dumpling wrappers are ready, the next step is to make the dumplings.

Zhao Yunxi and Zhao Jiaying have experience in making dumplings, so they are naturally comfortable in making dumplings.Ou Zichen learned it at Shen Linghao's house last time. Although he wasn't very good at it, he could still handle it.

Su Meng was originally from a rural area. During the winter, she and her grandmother would make dumplings and eat them together.But since her grandma passed away, she has never made dumplings by herself. If she really wants to eat, she will go out to pack some and bring them back to eat.

Although I haven’t made dumplings in seven or eight years and my skills are a bit rusty, I haven’t forgotten how to make them.

Lin Zhenzhen has been in charge of the family for so many years and is good at almost everything. However, as she gets older, Ou Zichen and his two brothers don't want her to be too tired, so they don't let her do anything.

But she can make an exception today. After all, it is the first time this year that the house is so lively. It is also a very happy thing for the family to sit together and make dumplings, so how could she miss it!

In the end, only Ou Zilong was left. This young master who never touched the spring water with his fingers and never entered the kitchen once a year, how could he possibly make dumplings?

But no, he can also learn. If he doesn’t learn, he will never learn.

What's more, the whole family is busy, and he is always embarrassed to sit and wait for food!

So he asked Su Meng to teach him.

Su Meng patiently taught him several times, demonstrating everything in detail from placing the dumpling wrapper on his palm, to adding the fillings, and finally slowly pinching both sides of the dumpling wrapper.

But after all, this is a skill of hands and feet. How can it be done immediately after watching it a few times? It seems quite easy.

Ou Zilong did it several times, but he could only pinch the two sides of the dumpling wrapper, but he couldn't get the lace that Su Meng taught him.

In the end, Su Meng even disliked him.

"Ou Zilong, I think you don't have the talent to make dumplings. Otherwise, you should just sit aside and wait to eat."

But Ou Zilong was unwilling and said: "No, this is not my first time learning! I will wrap it up a few times in the future, and I will be able to do it well."

Zhao Jiaying encouraged him: "Second uncle, it doesn't matter if the buns are ugly, as long as they are edible. Don't worry, if they don't eat your buns, there are Yingbao and glutinous rice balls, they will all be wiped out."

Zhao Jiaying loves dumplings the most, and she can finish them all.

What's more, whether the dumplings are delicious or not does not depend on whether they are well-wrapped or not.The main thing is whether the dumpling wrappers and fillings are well done?

Hearing Zhao Jiaying's words, Ou Zilong was moved and said: "Yingbao, you are really my second uncle's caring little cotton-padded jacket. You are the best."

Zhao Jiaying didn't dislike Ou Zilong, so Su Meng, as his wife, naturally couldn't say much.

With the joint efforts of everyone, it took almost an hour to finally wrap all the dumplings.

Next, it’s time to cook the dumplings.

Ou Zichen originally wanted to ask Ying to cook because she didn't want Zhao Yunxi to be too tired.

But Zhao Yunxi thought that cooking so many dumplings by himself would definitely be too busy.Ou Zilong didn't understand anything about the kitchen and couldn't help him much.

We can't let Su Meng help!In this case, it would be a bit embarrassing.

So in the end, the important task of cooking dumplings was left to the two hostesses, Zhao Yunxi and Su Meng.

However, cooking dumplings is not that complicated. It is nothing more than steaming, boiling, pan-frying and deep-frying.

If fried, it will be too hot and irritating, so it is not suitable for the elderly and children.

In the end, we chose steaming, boiling and frying, so that everyone can choose.

In about three to ten minutes, plates of fragrant dumplings came out of the oven.

Zhao Jiaying has been sitting at the dining table waiting, looking at the freshly baked dumplings. Not only is her stomach growling, but she is so greedy that her saliva is about to flow out.

But no matter how hungry she is, she will wait until everyone is seated together and say it's time to start eating before eating, because this is a matter of politeness and etiquette.

What’s more, her dearest friend, the glutinous rice dumplings, must be prepared first.

Tangyuan's wound had just recovered and it was not suitable to eat fried food, so Zhao Jiaying only prepared steamed and boiled food for it.

However, whether steamed or boiled, I love to eat glutinous rice balls.Tang Yuan was raised by Zhao Jiaying, so her preferences are almost the same as Zhao Jiaying's.

The little master loves to eat dumplings, so the glutinous rice balls also love to eat dumplings.
