Lin Jiao came out of the room and happily took the thing from Pei Yuan's hand, "Let me see how the meat is?
Let’s make dumplings and eat them later.”
Along the way, Lin Jiao ate mostly sweet potatoes, steamed buns and cakes. She occasionally stayed at an inn, and the food in the inn was barely edible. She had wanted to have a good meal and had been thinking about it for a long time.
"dumpling?"
Pei Yuan looked at Lin Jiao in confusion, "I've eaten steamed buns before, what are dumplings?"
"Have you never eaten dumplings?"
Lin Jiao was also stunned. There are no dumplings in this world?
"I've never eaten it, I've never seen it, and I've never heard of it." Pei Yuan answered truthfully.
Seeing Pei Yuan's serious look, Lin Jiao knew that he was definitely not lying. In an instant, Lin Jiao found a business opportunity. How could we not have such a delicious food like dumplings?
"I'll make them for you. The dumplings I make are amazing and delicious."
Lin Jiao carried the things in Pei Yuan's hands into the kitchen, and Pei Yuan followed in. He didn't ask Lin Jiao how she did this. He knew that Lin Jiao must have a secret, but he pretended not to know if Lin Jiao didn't tell her.
As long as Lin Jiao doesn't leave him, that's fine.
"How can I help you?"
Pei Yuan asked if he could not bear to let Lin Jiao take care of three people's meals alone.
"You can help me chop the meat into stuffing." Lin Jiao put the washed meat on the cutting board and said to Pei Yuan. If she can help, she will definitely use it.
"good."
Pei Yuan was very strong, and he quickly chopped a piece of meat into pulp.
Lin Jiao gave him the washed cabbage and green onions, and then went to make the noodles herself.
Lin Pingping, who was in the house, heard the sound of ping-pong-pong in the kitchen, and came over curiously, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"We are making dumplings, do you want to try them together?"
Lin Jiao's noodles have been mixed and she has started to adjust the fillings. Whether the dumplings are delicious or not depends on adjusting the fillings.
"What are dumplings?"
Lin Pingping asked curiously, "My eldest brother knows so many things, he's so powerful!"
"You'll find out soon."
After mixing the stuffing, Lin Jiao made a dumpling for them to see. Lin Pingping's eyes shone when she saw the white and fat dumpling.
"Is this dumpling?"
It looked delicious, "Brother, I think you can make it quite easily, I'll try it too."
Lin Pingping imitated Lin Jiao's example and couldn't squeeze it properly even after a long time. She even broke the dough.
Pei Yuan also broke one of the dumplings, but he was able to get it right on the second one. By the third one, he had figured out the trick, and the dumplings he made turned out to be prettier than those made by Lin Jiao.
"sharp."
Lin Jiao really thought Pei Yuan was awesome. She was learning to make dumplings at that time. It took her a long time to learn how to make dumplings and she ate several pots of dumpling porridge.
"I can too."
When Lin Pingping saw Lin Jiao praising Pei Yuan, she felt unconvinced and pinched him several more times, but the results were not good.
"You made it yourself and eat it yourself." Pei Yuan reminded her coldly.
Lin Pingping sat aside frustrated and looked at Lin Jiao aggrievedly.
"It's okay. Just sit aside and watch. It's enough for the two of us."
Pei Yuan made the dumplings very quickly, and soon all the dumplings were wrapped.
Pei Yuan washed his hands and went to light the fire. Lin Jiao simply tidied up the kitchen. When the water boiled, Lin Jiao put the dumplings into the pot, and soon the aroma spread.
“It smells so good.”
Lin Pingping looked at the steaming cauldron eagerly, unable to move her eyes away.
After the dumplings were cooked, Lin Jiao took out the vinegar she specially asked for from Hu Zi.
"If you like, you can try eating it with vinegar."
As soon as Lin Jiao finished speaking, Lin Pingping couldn't wait to pick up a dumpling and put it in her mouth, "Good time, really good time."
The dumplings were so hot that she could hardly speak clearly.
Pei Yuan handed the chopsticks to Lin Jiao and tasted one himself. It tasted really good.
“Really delicious.”
All three of us were satisfied with this meal, and they were all full in the end.
Pei Yuan glanced at Lin Pingping and said, "The dumplings we made will be cleaned up by you in the kitchen later. You can't just eat for free all the time."
Lin Pingping nodded happily, she can do this job well.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking. Can we eat dumplings more often in the future?"
These dumplings are so delicious.
"There is a chance. After all, we are on the way to escape, so we may not necessarily have this condition."
Lin Jiao said that she also saw this yard today, and with this condition, she wanted to make dumplings.
After sitting in the kitchen for a while, Lin Jiao returned to the room after Lin Pingping finished cleaning up the kitchen.
It was still daylight and Lin Pingping wasn't sleeping either, so Lin Jiao didn't go there either. Pei Yuan didn't want her to accompany anyone else, even if Lin Pingping was a woman, he wouldn't want to.
In the room, Lin Jiao listened to Pei Yuan talk about his life outside in the past few years, how he had joined the army, how he met King Liang, and how he became his deputy general.
How has King Liang treated him in the past two years, and what has he done.
He said it clearly, but Pei Yuan himself didn't remember some things.
Only then did Lin Jiao realize that he had been living such a hard life in the past few years. He was wandering between life and death almost every day. Especially after he first entered the military camp, he encountered an intruder from the Beichen Kingdom, and their group of new recruits were arranged to go there.
Kill the enemy on the battlefield and hold them back.
Almost all the new recruits who went there died on the battlefield. Pei Yuan was able to come back alive because he had practiced martial arts since he was a child and had better kung fu, but he was also seriously injured and had to lie down for several months before he recovered.
His current martial arts skills were taught by a master he met later. He did not have such skills before.
"I didn't think I would have such a big ambition at the time. I just wanted to finish the war quickly and then go home to take care of my mother and younger brothers and sisters. I wanted to make more money, so I worked hard to climb up.
Once you get to where you want to be, there is no way out if you want to go back, so you have to keep moving forward.”
Lin Jiao can understand Pei Yuan's feelings. When Pei Yuan reaches the position he wants, he has been involved in the center of power, and it is impossible to escape.
"Jiaojiao, in the past few years, I haven't even dared to close my eyes while sleeping, for fear that I wouldn't be able to wake up tomorrow. Until I lose my memory, I can sleep peacefully every day when you are by my side."
Even if he now remembers what happened in the past, as long as Lin Jiao is around, he sleeps peacefully every day. He finally has someone beside him who can make him feel at ease and who he can rely on.
Lin Jiao smiled and rubbed his head, "I will always be with you from now on, don't be afraid!"
Pei Yuan held her hand and smiled, as if there was light in his eyes.
When it got dark, Lin Jiao was called over by Lin Pingping.
Pei Yuan was very unhappy, but he had no choice. He was afraid that Lin Jiao would be angry, so he could only watch her go to accompany Lin Pingping.
Lin Jiao arrived at Lin Pingping's room and sat on a stool not far from the door. She was reading a book she had taken from Pei Yuan and did not talk to Lin Pingping.
Lin Pingping lay on the kang and looked at Lin Jiao by candlelight. Lin Jiao's outfit was obviously not one-tenth as good-looking as Pei Yuan's, but Lin Pingping thought he was particularly good-looking.
"Brother, you will always stay with me, right?"
Lin Pingping asked.
"If you stay awake, I will go back."
Lin Jiao didn't answer her question. Of course she couldn't stay with Lin Pingping all the time. She didn't say it clearly, but her rejection was already obvious.
Lin Pingping is a smart person, so of course she understands what Lin Jiao means.
I could only close my eyes and start to fall asleep.
Just as she closed her eyes, a woman's scream suddenly came from the yard next door.
"You beasts, let me go...let me go..."
"boom!"
Lin Jiao stood up instantly. She recognized the voice. It was the voice of the Yueniang she met in Jinzhou before.
"I'll go out and take a look."
Without saying a word, Lin Jiao quickly walked out the door.
