Chapter 187 Dumplings
Chapter 187 Dumplings
It turned out that this was what Li Zhendong was thinking about. Jiang Li responded with a smile and asked Mrs. Sun to prepare the meat filling.
The meat was chopped by Sun's wife, but the flavor was personally adjusted by Jiang Li. She knew what Li Zhendong liked and what he missed.
Soon the dough was kneaded and the filling was prepared, and several people gathered around the table to make dumplings together.
Li Yunze originally wanted to go upstairs to play games, but seeing that the old man was making dumplings himself, and Li Mubai also said that he wanted to learn, Li Yunze also became interested, washed his hands, rubbed his hands, and said that he was ready to show off his skills.
After all, he was the son of a rich family. Li Mubai didn't know how to make dumplings. They were either too thin like a quilt or too thick to reveal the filling. Jiang Li taught him more than a dozen times before he finally made a few decent ones. Li Yunze was even more so. He had never touched water since he was a child. His hands were very sensitive when playing games, but they were paralyzed when they touched the dumpling skin. Even dogs wouldn't want to eat the dumplings he made. Jiang Li and Sun Sao saw the dumplings he made and couldn't help laughing.
Unexpectedly, even his aunt dared to laugh at him. Li Yunze felt ashamed and his face turned red. He threw the remaining dumpling skins on the table and went upstairs in a huff.
Li Zhendong didn't care about him. His youngest son had been spoiled since childhood. It was okay to ask him to make steamed buns, but it would be too unfair to the dumplings if he made dumplings.
Li Zhendong hadn't made dumplings for many years, so his skills were still a little rusty this time, but after being taught by Jiang Li, he quickly regained his feeling and made a few decent dumplings. Jiang Li gave him a thumbs-up and praised him, and the old man was very proud. If he had a tail, it would have been up to the sky by now.
The first pot was made with Jiang Li, and the dumplings were thin-skinned and rich in meat. As soon as the dumplings were cooked, Jiang Li immediately served a plate to Li Zhendong, which was in the shape of gold ingots, with pork and green onion fillings, and the dipping sauce she specially prepared.
Before the dumplings had cooled down, Li Zhendong couldn't wait to stuff one into his mouth, and it was so hot that he cried out in pain.
Jiang Li said helplessly: "Eat slowly, there are plenty of dumplings, don't be in a hurry."
Before she knew it, "你" became "你" again, but Jiang Li didn't correct it specifically. Just let it be, whatever you want, talking is too tiring.
There was really no time to wait, so Li Zhendong poked the dumpling, blew on it twice, then stuffed it back into his mouth, slurred it a few times and swallowed it. Then he wiped his red eyes, saying that it even burned his eyes and brought out tears.
When people get old, they tend to miss the past, and their eye sockets become shallow. Jiang Li didn't expose him, but handed him a tissue and joked that if he ate such hot dumplings again, his tongue would be burned.
Li Zhendong laughed after hearing this. He was not in a hurry to eat the second dumpling. He blew it cool carefully, put it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and savored its flavor before swallowing it.
Then he gave Jiang Li a thumbs up, and everything was said without words.
Smelling the delicious dumplings, Li Yunze, who had been hiding upstairs, ran downstairs happily without being called by anyone.
As soon as he sat down, Li Mubai brought out a plate of strange dumplings for him, saying that he had made them himself and no one else wanted to eat them, so he had to eat them alone.
Li Yunze was disgusted at first, he wanted to eat the ones made by Jiang Li, not the ones he made. But then he thought, he couldn't help others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige! So he chewed them loudly, shouting "delicious" after each bite. He even believed it himself, because the dumplings he made were really delicious!
Li Zhendong and Li Mubai both wanted Jiang Li to taste the dumplings they made. Adhering to the principle of fairness and justice, Jiang Li took 6 dumplings each, a total of 12, and the rest were made by Li Mubai.
It’s just a simple meal of dumplings, but it’s eaten in a lively and lively atmosphere.
Many years later, Li Mubai still remembers the taste of the dumplings. When he was eating the dumplings, he was surrounded by his most beloved grandfather, his brother-in-law who supported him no matter what he did, and the woman he loved most in his life. This meal was not about dumplings, but the most precious feelings in the world.
Many years later, Li Yunze kept bragging about how delicious the dumplings he made were, so delicious that no one else had the chance to taste them!
After eating dumplings and drinking tea, Li Zhendong asked Li Mubai to play a few games of chess. Finally, he drank the soft and smooth red bean paste cooked by Jiang Li himself, and then reluctantly returned to the Li family's old house.
Li Yunze originally wanted to stay for dinner, but was ruthlessly pulled back by Li Zhendong.
Why? I don't even have the chance to stay for dinner, why should you, a little jerk, stay?
Although Li Yunze was very unhappy about being dragged back home, it was rare for the two of them to sit together and there was no one else in the car at the moment. Li Yunze had been holding back questions in his mind for a long time and finally got the chance to ask.
"Dad, didn't you faint from anger when you found out that Mu Bai and Jiang Li were together? Why did you change your attitude 360 degrees later?"
Li Zhendong glared at him: "Who said I fainted because of Jiang Li?"
Li Yunze laughed twice and mocked him: "Are you dizzy from happiness?"
Li Zhendong snorted, "I just fainted because of happiness."
Li Yunze laughed dryly twice, and did not argue with the old man whether he fainted from anger or happiness. He just continued to ask: "I heard you and Jiang Li chatting, it seems like you know each other very well?"
Li Zhendong's expression changed, and then he slowly said: "She and I... I know the elders in her family."
"Huh? Why haven't I heard you say that before?"
Li Zhendong snorted, "There are so many things you haven't heard of. Do I have to report everything to you?"
Li Yunze felt that the old man was acting strangely recently. He spoke and acted as if he was younger, just like a young boy. He would either "hum" or "tsk" him.
Feeling that he seemed to be too harsh when speaking to his youngest son, Li Zhendong softened his tone and added, "I also met Jiang Li and chatted with her for a few words before confirming it."
"Anyway, remember, Jiang Li... Jiang Li's family has done our Li family a favor. It can be said that without her, there would be no Li Zhendong, let alone our Li family today."
"In our Li family, Jiang Li should be put first in everything. Everyone should respect Jiang Li. No matter who it is or what it is, we should make way for her."
Li Zhendong said this with great emphasis and a serious expression. He even looked into Li Yunze's eyes very seriously. It had been a long time since he had been looked at so seriously by the old man. Li Yunze unconsciously sat up straight.
Jiang Li... How much favor did Jiang Li's family do for the Li family to make the old man say such harsh words.
