I Zheng felt hungry talking about these things and was about to drool. He also wondered what hawthorn dumplings tasted like and could not wait to eat them.
He also wanted to try milk products, other hawthorn products, and the wild boar delicacies his master had mentioned. Lin Zheng felt energized about helping his master make dinner later when thinking about these things.
Wei Cheng was stunned. He stared at Lin Zheng with widened eyes and said, “Dumplings?”
‘I’ve never heard of dumplings. What are they?’
Although he did not know what they were, he suspected they would taste delicious. Su Binglan had cooked the meals they had been eating these past few days. No one doubted her cooking skills. No matter what she cooked, everyone believed it would be delicious.
Wei Ying, Wei Chuan, and Wei Shi were also puzzled and wondered what dumplings were as they had not heard about them.
Lin Zheng noticed their curiosity and puzzled expressions. After some thought, he said, “They look like ingots with skins on the outside and fillings on the inside. Ah, you’ll know what I mean when you have them later.
“You’ll undoubtedly like them after taking just a bite. Still, making dumplings isn’t as simple as you’d think. I don’t know how to make the filling, but I know how to roll the skin.
“The dumplings Master makes are gorgeous, and she makes them very quickly.”
When Lin Zheng opened his mouth, he only praised his master. He did not even realize he was fangirling over Su Binglan.
Everyone imagined what a dumpling would look like as they listened.
‘They look like ingots? What color is the skin? It should look like white flour, right? Will Madam fill the skins with Hawthorn? Lin Zheng also said there were different fillings.’
Everyone imagined the delicious food and felt even hungrier. In the past, Wei Ying and the others only thought about their master and wanted him to recover as soon as possible.
However, they only thought about food now that Su Binglan was here. They thought it was wrong, but Su Binglan’s cooking skills were simply outstanding. They felt the joy of living since they first tried her food.
There was only hatred in their eyes in the past. It was to avenge the Wei family army and protect their master, but now they also looked forward to eating. Moreover, Su Binglan was perfect at teaching them how to cook.
They had already cooked some dishes independently and felt they had gained another skill. Wei Ying and the others only knew how to fight and kill in the past. They did not expect to use their hands for cooking instead.
‘If our brothers from the Wei family army were still alive, they would be thrilled, right?’
Wei Chengs hands itched when he heard these things. He rubbed them together and said, “l want to help Madam cook tonight, too!”
“Yeah, I’ll be helping,” Lin Zheng said, “I’ll light the fire for her.”
He felt proud being able to help his master as he could brag about it when he returned to Su Teng Village. He knew the people of Teng County would envy him if they knew about it.
Meanwhile, Blue Two, Blue Three, and Wei Ying were usually silent. However, their eyes expressed they also wanted to help Su Binglan with cooking.
Su Binglan was talking to her husband in the house and could not help but laugh when she heard Wei Cheng shouting. She raised her head to look at Luo Jin’an, and the two smiled at each other.
After a while, they heard the others discussing more about food and dumplings in the courtyard.
Su Binglan said, “Indeed, I’ll make dumplings with various fillings for dinner.
You can try each one later.”
Luo Jin’an ran his fingers through his wife’s hair, looking at her with profound affection. He wanted to say he did not want her to tire herself out but knew it would be pointless.
Luo Jin’an did not know what else he could do for Su Binglan and could only hug her tightly. Then he said, “l like eating anything you make. I can help you later, too.’
“No, you can’t tire yourself out.”
Since Luo Jin’an had finally recovered, Su Binglan could not bear to see him tire himself out.
“l remember when we were in Su Teng Village,” Luo Jin’an said, “l would help you make dumplings.”
“It’s not the same, You must rest and nurse your body.”
“Didn’t you say you had sealed the cold poison and that I’ll be okay if I don’t use force?”
His question stumped Su Binglan. Perhaps she subconsciously did not want her husband to do such labor. Su Binglan did not realize it deep down, but she felt sorry for Luo Jin’an.
After recovering some of Lan Ruobings memories, Su Binglan realized how much Wei Jin’an had suffered in the past. He had sacrificed so much for his family’s sake and to protect the country.
Su Binglan was not in good health when she was Lan Ruobing and could not do many things then. However, things had changed as she was in good health
as Su Binglan and had recovered many of her soul’s memories.
Now that she could do things for Luo Jin’an, she did not want him to work so hard. Of course, Su Binglan also enjoyed pampering him.
‘If he’d like to help, we can cook together.’
Su Binglan said, “Oh, right. Call everyone in the village over. We can teach them how to make dumplings and share a meal.”
She also enjoyed the lively environment, so it would be even better if everyone made dumplings and ate them together.
Luo Jin’an raised his brows. “You want me to call everyone over? Then we’ll need to prepare too many ingredients.”
He did not know how many ingredients his wife had brought.
Su Binglan noticed his concerned eyes and explained smilingly, “You don’t have to worry. I’ve prepared enough ingredients for us to eat for a while.”
The ingredients she had stored in her pocket dimension could feed an entire army for a few days. After all, she had several fields in her pocket dimension and planted many things there.
Things like potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, and other vegetables proliferated there, not to mention her pocket dimension also had a warehouse filled with food reserves.
Su Binglan had prepared these to come in handy in critical moments. She believed it was best always to be prepared for the worst.
Also, she taught the villagers to cook because she thought they would not have enough food if there were a crucial war. They could always forage and cook if the army had little food left.
Su Binglan could also use the food she had stored in her pocket dimension’s warehouse to cook since she still had plenty of flour to make instant noodles.
Su Binglan did not tell Luo Jin’an any of this because he had just recovered. She did not want him to worry about such things.
She said, “The wild boar we caught weighs more than 400 pounds. Its meat is fresh and suitable for making dumplings.”
“You want to make wild boar dumplings for everyone?”
“Yes. I’ll also make cabbage with boar dumplings, wild vegetable boar dumplings, wild vegetable with egg dumplings, century egg dumplings, and hawthorn dumplings..”
