While Yun Yiyi was exploring the mountains, Zhang was also busy at home at the foot of the mountain.

She felt that the children were too tired from going up the mountain recently. She wondered if she could make something delicious to nourish the children.

Steamed buns, dumplings, vegetable boxes, pancakes. Which one should I make?

Let’s not make pancakes for now, the children have already eaten them for several meals.

Steamed buns are also OK, but the dough must be fermented at this time. Otherwise it will be too late. Zhang was a little undecided.

Suddenly, Zhang remembered that she hadn't eaten dumplings for a long time. It just so happened that she didn't need to leaven the dough to make dumplings. She just needed to mix the dough and let it rise for a while.

Moreover, after mixing the dumpling filling, wrapping the dumplings and cooking them, there will not be any strong smell coming out.

However, the Yun family has a big appetite. If Zhang were to make dumplings, it would probably take her an entire afternoon.

After all, if you want to make enough dumplings for the whole family, a little bit is not enough.

There was another problem: what kind of filling should be used for the dumplings. Zhang was a little worried.

She came to the mule carriage and suddenly smelled the scent of wild leeks. Yes, how could she forget about wild leeks.

Last time, Yun Yiyi and her friends cut a lot of wild chives in the mountains. After she finished packing the vegetables, there were still a lot of wild chives left.

Because she had already given the leeks to the villagers before, she did not give away the remaining leeks.

Because everyone in her family ate leeks, she saved the remaining leeks.

Usually, they would add a little bit when cooking. Although, some of the chives were bad. Fortunately, they were in the woods, and the temperature was much lower than outside.

In addition, the temperature in the morning and evening has been low recently, so the wild leeks have been preserved.

At this time, Zhang was particularly glad that she had the habit of saving things. Now, she used leeks to make dumplings.

Zhang took the chives down and started picking them.

Xie Zirui saw this and came over to help pick the chives.

He has been trained now and can pick the leeks very cleanly.

"Zi Rui, let's eat dumplings tonight. Let's eat dumplings stuffed with chives. Do you want to try some?"

Xie Zirui looked excited, "Really, Auntie. I like eating dumplings. Big brother and Yiyi also like eating dumplings."

"I remember Yiyi and my elder brother particularly liked eating leek stuffing."

Zhang laughed happily, "Zi Rui, you observe so carefully."

"Yes, Auntie. I'm very lucky that you and Uncle Yun took me in. Otherwise, I wouldn't know where I'd be wandering at this time."

"Zi Rui, don't think about unhappy things. You come to our house, and the whole family likes you very much."

When Xie Zirui heard this, his ears turned red with embarrassment.

After Zhang and Xie Zirui finished picking the leeks, she washed them and placed them in a clean basket to drain the water.

Then, she grabbed a handful of wood ear mushrooms, put them in the basin, and soaked them in water.

After finishing all these, she quickly kneaded a large bowl of noodles. She thought, use up all the noodles and pack some more for the children to take up the mountain tomorrow morning.

"Zi Rui, go light the fire now. I'll fry a few eggs and put them in the chive stuffing later."

"I know, aunt."

Xie Zirui quickly cleaned the iron pot, then lit the fire and started cooking.

Zhang hardened her heart and brought over six eggs.

Before this, Yun the Butcher and Yun Yiyi had already eaten a lot of eggs bought in the capital. Fortunately, the chicken raised by the Yun family could lay an egg every day.

Sometimes, she would lay an egg every two days. In short, there was a balance between eggs. Otherwise, Zhang would not be willing to eat them.

Because this hen lays eggs frequently, Zhang and Yun the butcher pay more attention to it. In addition to feeding it wild vegetables, water, and corn flour every day.

Sometimes, Yun the butcher would move the hen to another place and let it find insects to eat on its own.

However, that is when someone is watching. In most cases, the basket is placed over the hen.

Then, change its location after a while.

This hen is also very hardworking. In addition to laying eggs diligently, it has also been raised to have particularly bright fur and looks very energetic.

Zhang waited until smoke rose from the pot, then put in half a bowl of oil. When the oil was hot, she poured in the beaten eggs.

Then she picked up the spatula and quickly flipped the eggs in the pan.

Soon, the eggs were fried. Zhang didn't serve them, but just left them in the pot.

"Zi Rui, put out the fire first. Let the eggs in the pot cool down by themselves so that you can mix the stuffing later."

"Yes, auntie."

Xie Zirui took out all the firewood in the stove hole, put them together, then used a shovel to remove some soil and covered it.

The firewood that was still burning slowly went out.

Zhang first checked the leeks and found that they were dry and ready to be cut.

So she put the chives on the chopping board and cut them into small pieces.

Finally, a large bowl was filled with chopped leeks.

Zhang also chopped up the soaked black fungus and put it into the leek pot.

Next, Zhang started kneading the dough.

She cut the dough into small pieces, pressed them into balls, and finally rolled them into round dumpling skins.

Xie Zirui stood nearby and watched Zhang rolling the dumpling wrappers, finding it very interesting.

"Aunt, can I try to roll out the dumpling wrappers? But I'm afraid I won't be able to roll them out nicely."

After Xie Zirui finished speaking, he looked at Zhang embarrassedly.

Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, Zirui. I'll roll one, and you watch me."

So Zhang rolled out several more dumpling wrappers.

Xie Zirui watched from the side and thought it was quite simple.

"Zi Rui, come roll out two sheets of dumpling wrappers. Let me see."

Xie Zirui took the rolling pin, carefully rolled out a dumpling skin, and then looked at Zhang expectantly.

Zhang picked up the dumpling wrapper and looked at it. "Zi Rui, the size of the dumpling wrapper is OK. Also, when you roll the wrapper, turn the hand holding the dumpling wrapper faster."

"The dumpling wrappers rolled out this way won't be easy to be different thicknesses. But since you rolled it like this for the first time, it's already pretty good."

Xie Zirui grinned happily, "Aunt, I will try my best."

So Zhang watched Zirui roll out more than ten dumpling wrappers.

Zhang watched as Xie Zirui's dumpling wrappers became better and better, and couldn't help but praise him, "Zirui, you're amazing."

Xie Zirui laughed happily, "Aunt, I'll roll out the dough slowly. You go and mix the filling."

"Okay, Zirui. Just maintain your current level."

After Zhang finished speaking, she picked up the clay basin and used a spatula to scoop the cooled fried eggs from the big iron pot into the leek basin.

Of course, the oil in the pot must also be added to the chives.

Zhang felt that there was not enough oil, so she added half a bowl of oil into the chives.

Then, she added some fried and crushed pepper powder.

Finally, she put some salt into the clay basin.

Then she picked up the chopsticks and began to stir the chive stuffing in the clay pot.
