Chapter 150: Making Dumplings (2) (1/2)

With five people, the work went very fast. The basin of chive and egg filling, and the other basin of cabbage and pork filling were soon empty.

Gu Jinlin was delighted when he looked at the plump, white dumplings. He was dreaming of dumplings for dinner.

But before he could finish gloating, Gu Qingyao took another two basins of filling from the cabinet.

Gu Jinlin: “…”

Gu Qingyao said, “Hurry up. When we’re done, we’ll send some to Third Uncle tomorrow. They’ll be frozen, so we don’t have to worry that they’ll spoil!”

Gu Jinlin paused as he thought of his two younger brothers. He did not say anything, but simply hurried to make more dumplings.

They worked until it was dark and were delighted with the results. Gu Jinlin had never seen so many dumplings before.

They had wrapped over a thousand dumplings.

Gu Jinlin gulped as he looked at the soft, white dumplings. Their skins were all made from fine white flour!

Too extravagant! This was just too extravagant!

Gu Jinlin could barely speak properly. “Younger… Younger sister, can we have dumplings for dinner?”

After a few days at home, he somehow felt that his younger cousin was in charge of the household.

Gu Qingyao turned and glanced at him. “Would you like some?”

Gu Jinlin immediately nodded so hard he looked like a chick pecking at rice. He would like some! Of course, he would!

Gu Qingyao said, “Sure, then we’ll have dumplings for dinner tonight. That will save us trouble!”

So they had dumplings for dinner. Gu Jinlin alone ate two big bowls of them.

These were not the small bowls of later years, but the big bowls with a blue rim. Gu Jinlin ate so much that he could not stop burping. His grandparents and uncle all looked at him disdainfully.

He was like an incarnation of a hungry ghost!
