Du Hongyuan, who woke up after a long sleep, smelled the fragrant smell and was relieved of his gloom. He got out of bed and started showing off with the three of them.
Wang Qi said proudly: "How about it? The dumplings I rolled out, stuffed and made by myself taste better than those crappy things in school!"
Chen Zhirui nodded and praised: "It's delicious. This is my first time eating this kind of pickled cabbage. It tastes quite special!"
Kong Liu urged the three of them: "Try the cabbage and pork flavor I made and see if it tastes good."
Wang Qi tasted one, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Old Liu is very talented in cooking!"
Chen Zhirui also nodded repeatedly and said: "It's delicious, I love it!"
After Du Hongyuan ate a few, he said, "I admit, it's really good, but compared to my skills, it's still a little bit inferior."
"Pull him down." Wang Qi patted Du Hongyuan on the shoulder and joked: "The 'craft' you are talking about shouldn't be 'making wontons' in bed, right?"
Du Hongyuan blushed and said, "Get out of here! It's time to have dinner and you talk about dirty stuff."
What Kong Liu and Wang Qi accomplished in one afternoon, the four of them solved it in half an hour.
After eating, Kong Liu cooked the cabbage and pork dumplings he left for Gu Chenxi, and Wang Qi also cooked the sauerkraut and pork dumplings he left for his partner.
After cooking, the two exchanged a few of different flavors.
After Kong Liu packed the dumplings in the lunch box, he was about to send a message to Gu Chenxi when a voice call popped up from the other party.
Gu Chenxi on the other end of the phone asked directly: "Where are you now?"
Kong Liu said: "I was in the dormitory and was about to go find you, so you called me."
"This shows that we have a good understanding." Gu Chenxi said proudly, "Come to the playground."
"Okay, I'll be right away."
After Kong Liu hung up the phone, he quickly left the dormitory with the dumplings in hand.
When she arrived at the playground, she saw Gu Chenxi sitting alone in the stands of the playground, waving to him.
Kong Liu hugged the box of dumplings and ran up to the stands.
The two of them said almost at the same time: "Guess what I have prepared for you!"
"uh-huh?"
"Aha?"
After hearing each other's words, both of them couldn't help but cast their eyes on the bag held in the other's hand.
Gu Chenxi asked in surprise: "Did you make dumplings for me?"
Looking at her expression, Kong Liu seemed to have a premonition of something, and he asked: "Could it be that...you made dumplings for me too, right?"
The two exchanged handbags, took out lunch boxes from each other's bags, looked at each other, and opened them at the same time.
Although the two of them had already guessed what the other party was sending, they still laughed at the same time when they saw the dumplings in the box.
Kong Liu covered his face and thought to himself: "I knew I wouldn't have eaten so many dumplings in the dormitory just now."
Gu Chenxi also sighed in his heart: "I tried it all afternoon and finally made a slightly more delicious one. How can I still eat it now?"
Gu Chenxi made dumplings with soup. With the help of his roommate and an afternoon of trying, it was finally not a failure this time. Although the dumplings looked average and had a lot of tears, they were simply better than the chicken soup before. Not too good - at least it's not poisonous.
Needless to say, the dumplings made by Kong Liu were very good with the help of Wang Qi - if they were not delicious, the four men would not show off so much in the dormitory.
Gu Chenxi saw that Kong Liu didn't move his chopsticks and thought he didn't dare to eat, so he said: "Don't look at it. These dumplings are cooked like pimple soup, but in fact only a few have broken skins, and there are many intact ones in the soup." Yes, it tastes good, really!”
"Uh, okay..."
Kong Liu was still so full that he couldn't eat anything. He said to Gu Chenxi, "Try what I made first."
Kong Liu couldn't eat, so why couldn't Gu Chenxi. She hesitated, closed the lid of the lunch box, and said, "I... I have a habit of going for a run before eating!"
"What a coincidence, I also have this habit."
Kong Liu also covered the lunch box and said, "Let's go together!"
Carrying lunch boxes in their hands, the two of them didn't really run on the playground - after all, the main purpose was to eat.
In order not to disturb the night joggers, the two took a walk in the outermost circle of the playground.
While walking, Kong Liu asked Gu Chenxi: "Did you make these dumplings in the dormitory in the afternoon?"
"Yeah." Gu Chenxi nodded and said, "I just wanted to give you a surprise today because of the winter solstice. Who knows..."
Kong Liu smiled and replied: "Who knew I also made dumplings?"
"Yes."
Gu Chenxi nodded and asked Kong Liu: "What kind of dumplings do you make?"
"Pork with cabbage."
Kong Liu was embarrassed to look at Gu Chenxi, so he looked up at the lamppost in the distance and said, "Xiaoxuan said... you like to eat cabbage and pork, so I made it, with a few sauerkraut and pork in it, and A few fresh food.”
Gu Chenxi lowered her head, looked at the plastic runway under her feet, and said in a slightly shy voice: "In order to make dumplings for me, you went to ask my sister specifically?"
"Uh...hehe..."
Kong Liu laughed twice, neither admitting nor denying.
Gu Chenxi continued: "Guess what flavor the dumplings I made are?"
"Hmm..." Kong Liu thought for a moment and said, "Pork with cabbage."
Gu Chenxi stared at Kong Liu with wide eyes, and exclaimed: "Oh! How did you know?"
Kong Liu said: "Because we have a clear understanding of each other!"
That's weird.
Because when Gong Liu just opened the lid, he saw the cabbage and minced meat floating in the dumpling soup, so he already knew the correct answer.
Of course, in fact, even if Kong Liu didn't open the lid, it wouldn't be difficult to guess if he really wanted to.
Gu Chenxi has never cooked before, so as this is her first time making dumplings, she will definitely choose the flavors she is most familiar with and cook what she likes. At least she will know better whether it tastes good or not.
Besides, she doesn't know how to do difficult things, and after the chicken soup incident, she doesn't dare to try it easily anymore - she doesn't want to be a widow at a young age.
The two of them walked for a while, feeling that they had digested a lot, and then sat back on the bleachers of the playground.
At Gu Chenxi's urging, Kong Liu first opened her box of soup dumplings, picked out a complete dumpling with a spoon, and put it into his mouth.
Perhaps because of the psychological shadow of the chicken soup last time, he ate it with his eyes closed this time and was very careful when eating.
The meat filling tastes a bit salty, and compared with the dumpling wrappers they made themselves, the semi-finished dumpling wrappers Gu Chenxi bought have a very average taste.
The overall taste is quite satisfactory, not very delicious, but not unpalatable either. However, this is Gu Chenxi's second time cooking, so to be able to make it like this can be considered a rapid improvement.
Gu Chenxi asked hurriedly: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Although she had already tasted it this time, she was still afraid that Kong Liu would not like it.
Kong Liu didn't answer his words, but dug two more dumplings from the soup and stuffed them into his mouth, then smiled and gave a thumbs up - actions are often more convincing than words.
Seeing that Kong Liu was eating so happily, Gu Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile filled the corners of his mouth.
Kong Liu said to Gu Chenxi, "You should try what I cook."
Influenced by Wang Qi, Kong Liu's hand-rolled dumpling wrappers are much larger than the semi-finished ones, and they are also filled with meat. One dumpling is as big as two ordinary dumplings, and they are fragrant and delicious.
"How about it?"
Seeing Gu Chenxi eating several in succession, Kong Liu said with some pride: "I still have some strength, right?"
Gu Chenxi said proudly: "It's just so-so."
Kong Liu frowned and said, "Is this normal?"
Gu Chenxi swallowed the dumplings in his mouth, wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, then leaned into Kong Liu's ear and whispered: "Your dumplings are so well made, it will make me look stupid!"
Kong Liu pinched the flesh on her cheeks and said, "Silly, how cute."
Gu Chenxi pouted and said, "No! I'm Sister Yu...well."
Before Gu Chenxi could finish her words, she was blocked by Kong Liu's sudden kiss.
Gong Liu said afterwards: "I can't help it...it's just...too cute...I couldn't hold it back at the time...I'll dare to do it next time."
