Jiang Xin looked at the flour on the tip of He Chengyan's nose and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Only then did He Chengyan realize what he had just done. He was about to wash his hands and face when he was stopped by Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the flour off the tip of his nose.
He Chengyan did not object throughout the whole process, and his eyes fell on the handkerchief in Jiang Xin's hand. It was once his handkerchief, and he thought it had been thrown away by Jiang Xin long ago.
For some reason, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but he quickly adjusted his mood.
Jiang Xin generously put the handkerchief back into his pocket.
He Chengyan was too embarrassed to mention the handkerchief, so Jiang Xin regarded the handkerchief as his own.
After she washed the handkerchief a few months ago, she never returned it to He Chengyan and kept it with her without wanting to use it. Today, she used it to wipe He Chengyan's face.
Jiang Xin looked magnanimous on the face, but in fact, his heart had already changed a thousand times.
She was worried that He Chengyan would see her guilty conscience, so she deliberately looked for a topic, "Brother Chengyan, is there any progress with the Zhao Bang family?"
He Chengyan responded while kneading the dough, "Yes.
I hired a professional treasure appraiser to identify the antiques and found that they were all genuine. However, Zhao Min denied that he had spent money to buy the antiques and insisted that they were passed down from his ancestors. We are currently looking for witnesses to prove that Zhao Min is lying."
Jiang Xin smiled and said, "Zhao Min is definitely lying. I personally heard his wife say that most of the Zhao family's money was spent on antiques. It should be easier to find witnesses."
"Yes."
"Has Zhao Min confessed anyone else?"
"No. But we have some evidence in our hands, and we have arrested the person who helped Zhao Bang introduce the job. When Zhao Min's crime is fully determined, he will probably be sentenced to death. In order to survive, he will definitely expose other people, unless he wants to die.
"
Hearing this, Jiang Xin couldn't help but say, "Zhao Bang is Zhao Min's weakness. As long as Zhao Bang is alive, Zhao Min wants to live."
While he was talking, He Chengyan had already rolled out a dumpling wrapper, "That's right. There are people specifically protecting Zhao Bang at the moment."
Jiang Xin hates Zhao Bang and hopes that he will always suffer.
He Chengyan felt that every time Zhao Bang was mentioned, Jiang Xin's reaction was a bit extreme, so he changed the subject, "Xinxin, we have to agree that the dumplings I make can only be eaten by you and me. There will definitely be some dumpling fillings and dough left.
, if others want to eat too, you and grandma can pack some more."
Jiang Xin nodded in agreement, "I'm very happy that you can make dumplings for me with your own hands, and I won't push you too far."
He Chengyan hummed and swallowed what was in his heart.
One thing he didn't say was that this was the first time he was making dumplings for a girl, so he didn't want others to eat them.
Jiang Xin didn't think much, and his eyes fell on the dumpling skin, which was round and of moderate thickness.
"Brother Chengyan, can you roll out two dumpling wrappers at a time?"
He Chengyan glanced at Jiang Xin with a gentle look, picked up five dough balls, stacked them together, and used a rolling pin to roll out five dumpling skins at a time.
Jiang Xin applauded him, "Can you make more dumpling wrappers at once?"
Tao He Chengyan looked calm and said, "Okay."
This time, he picked up a total of ten dough balls and stacked them up. He didn't use a rolling pin, just used his hands. Before Jiang Xin could see clearly, ten dumpling wrappers were ready.
It is still round and of moderate thickness.
Jiang Xin was amazed, "Brother Chengyan, you are great! You can make dumpling wrappers without a rolling pin. Can you teach me?"
He Chengyan waved his hand, "I promised others that this skill will not be taught to others. I can't teach you. You can only see it yourself and understand it with your heart."
"All right."
Jiang Xin didn't want to force him, so he picked up five dough balls and tried to make dumpling wrappers with both hands. The result was that the thickness of the dumpling wrappers varied, making them unusable.
Knead it into dough again and try again.
Tried many times in a row without success.
He Chengyan consoled him, "Xinxin, when I first started practicing, I wasn't as good as you."
Jiang Xin thought thoughtfully, maybe he could get some benefits for himself.
"Brother Chengyan, if I can successfully produce it in the future, will there be any reward?"
"Yes. The reward is to take you on a trip during the winter and summer vacations, how about that?"
"Okay! It's a deal!"
At this time, Qin Shulan walked to the kitchen to get something and heard the conversation between the two of them, "Seungyan, can you show me how to make dumpling wrappers without a rolling pin?"
He Chengyan nodded, picked up ten noodle boxes again, and moved his hands skillfully.
Jiang Xin still didn't see it clearly, but Qin Shulan saw it clearly.
Qin Shulan picked up ten dough balls and quickly kneaded them with her fingers. The resulting dumpling wrappers were not as beautiful as the ones He Chengyan made, but at least they were usable.
Jiang Xin applauded her grandma, "Grandma, you are so awesome!"
Qin Shulan said with a smile, "You have to have enough strength and strength in your fingers. I usually practice more. When I get good at it, our noodle shop will have new kinds of dumplings. I came over to get garlic, and a customer wants to eat it."
After saying that, he took a head of garlic and walked out of the kitchen.
He Chengyan said while making dumplings, "Xinxin, I didn't teach grandma, she realized it on her own. It doesn't count me breaking my promise to others."
Jiang Xin smiled and said, "I know you kept your promise. Grandma has always been talented in making pasta. I couldn't see clearly whether you were using your fingers or your palms, but grandma could see clearly."
He Chengyan made dumplings very quickly.
Jiang Xin also made some dumplings with her own hands, planning to cook them for her family later.
Half an hour later, He Chengyan made the dumplings with his own hands and took them out of the pot, including a plate of meat-filled dumplings and a plate of shrimp dumplings.
At this time, Jiang Ying, who had just come back from outside, ran into the kitchen.
"It smells so good, I can smell the aroma of dumplings."
Just when he was about to ask if he could try a few, Jiang Xin already said, "Yingying, if you want to eat dumplings, my sister will cook them for you later, but I can't give you these dumplings."
He Chengyan had promised in advance that these dumplings could not be eaten by others, but could only be eaten by her alone.
Jiang Ying thought these dumplings were for entertaining He Chengyan, so she immediately said, "Okay, sister, let Brother Chengyan eat the dumplings first."
Jiang Xin said softly to He Chengyan, "You bring these two plates of dumplings into the hall first, and I'll cook a pot of dumplings for Yingying."
He Chengyan took the plate and walked towards the main room.
Jiang Xin put the dumplings she had wrapped into the pot.
Jiang Ying volunteered, "Sister, I can just watch the pot. You can go talk to Brother He."
Jiang Xin could never forget that her sister had been burned in her previous life, so she quickly waved her hand, "You are still young, so stay away from fires and hot pots from now on. When you grow to be as tall as me, it won't be too late to help cook."
Jiang Ying hugged Jiang Xin and said, "Sister, you are so kind to me!"
Jiang Xin hugged Jiang Ying back and said, "You are my biological sister. If I am not good to you, who should I be good to? Where did you go to play just now?"
"I went to our parents' place, and also went to your classmate Lin Na's house to play. It was Aunt Lin who sent me back. She was busy with something and didn't come in. By the way, her house's business has not been very good in the past few days."
Jiang Xin frowned, why didn't Lin Na mention this? "I'll go over and take a look when I have time."
