Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 297 Happy Hour

Xia Zixuan and her friends were still making the dumplings with black sesame filling, and it was quite lively with everyone making dumplings together.

Then Leshan said, "Yingsan, do you know how to make glutinous rice balls? The filling is showing."

Ying San heard this and said, "That's better than yours, take a look at yours and then tell me about mine!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at the glutinous rice balls in Leshan's hand, and saw that the glutinous rice balls in Leshan's hand were no longer in good shape. They were originally filled with purple sweet potato on the outside and red bean paste on the inside.

I don’t know how he wrapped it, the red bean paste filling was mixed with the purple sweet potato dough outside.

Xia Zixuan said in a cryptic way: "Yingsan, you and Leshan should knead the dumplings! Otherwise, the dumplings you make will become a mess after being put into the pot."

After hearing what Xia Zixuan said, everyone burst into laughter and said, "Whoever doesn't know how to make dumplings should knead them. Everyone else should learn quickly, otherwise you won't be able to eat dumplings tomorrow."

A few people who didn’t know how to wrap it smiled embarrassedly. They wanted to raise their hands to scratch their heads, but when they saw that their hands were covered with flour, they quickly put their hands down.

Jing He glared at them and said, "Don't touch them, or you won't get anything to eat."

Seeing everyone looking at them again, they waved their hands and said, "No, no, don't worry!"

Xia Zixuan looked at them with a smile in her eyes, and did not say anything as she went back to her own business. Wang Xinyao also kept smiling. She said, "It's more lively here than here. When I was at the county government office, I was alone and there was no one to talk to."

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Sister Xinyao, if you like, you can come and stay here often, or you can send someone to send me a message to pick you up."

Wang Xinyao didn't say anything when she heard this, she just nodded. After all, she was already a family person, and it was not good for her to always be outside. Moreover, she was going to have a child soon, so it would be even more inconvenient for her to go out.

Xia Zixuan also noticed that she had concerns, so she didn't say anything. This was the bad thing about women in ancient times. They had to think twice before going anywhere.

They all follow the rule of being obedient to their husbands and have no autonomy at all. After they have children, they are not allowed to go out. They are truly just taking care of their husbands and children.

"Girl, what should we do if the dough is a little dry?" Xia Zixuan was thinking about something when she suddenly heard Jinghe's words and instantly came back to her senses.

She glanced at the dough and said, "Cover it a little with a clean, wet muslin cloth, and also cover the dumplings a little so that they won't dry out and crack easily."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiuhong quickly took out a few clean pieces of fine cloth from the cupboard and said, "Miss, do you think this is okay?"

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Sure, just wet it with water."

"Oh, I understand, girl." Xia Xiuhong responded.

Wang Xinyao looked at Xia Zixuan and said, "Sister Zixuan, what's wrong? I saw you were a little absent-minded just now."

Xia Zixuan shook her head gently and said, "It's okay, Sister Xinyao, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Wang Xinyao smiled and said, "I'm glad you're alright. I'm not tired. I'll go rest when I'm tired."

Xia Zixuan said softly: "Okay."

When they were halfway done wrapping, Xia Zixuan said, "Aunt Xiuhong, you, Aunt Xiulan, Granny Xia, and Aunt Cui, stop wrapping and start preparing dinner for tonight!"

Xia Xiuhong and the others responded, "Yes, I understand, girl."

Everyone worked quickly, and soon the aroma wafted from the pot. Someone's stomach growled, "Gurgle..."

Then there were several more "gurgling" sounds, and everyone stopped looking for who it was, and said one by one: "This smells so good, I didn't know it before when I wasn't in the kitchen, but now that I'm in the kitchen, I can't help it at all!"

"Ah! When will the dumplings be ready? I want to eat so much that my saliva is watering." Le Ping wailed.

Le Shan teased him, "Then don't open your mouth, or your saliva will flow all over the dumplings."

Everyone burst into laughter. Le Ping said, "You're still blaming me. I don't believe you don't want to eat."

Ying San glanced at them and said, "Why don't you hurry up and wrap it, otherwise you won't be able to eat the food when it's ready."

Everyone thought the same thing after hearing this, and they all quickened their actions and said, "Hurry up, stop talking, or we really have to wait until tomorrow to eat."

It took everyone an hour to finally wrap the dumplings, and Xia Xiuhong had also prepared the food.

Xia Zixuan stood up and stretched. She said, "I've finally finished wrapping it. I'm so tired."

Xia Xiuhong quickly said, "Pooh, pooh," "What are you talking about, girl? What's going on? Pooh it up quickly."
