017 Respective care, delicious dumplings
"Okay, don't worry too much, I won't let myself go hungry, you go to a nap now, even if it's to practice calligraphy, don't stop for a moment, occasional rest is also necessary, don't be too tired!" After eating noodles with a smile, Zhan Xiaoyan said to the three of them. Because it's not just that they're going to worry about her, she's going to remember them too. And for them, it's only been half a day, but she hasn't seen them for days.
"Okay, we'll take notice! But sister, we want to have lunch you made today, and we want to eat our own favorite dishes, okay? The person who answered was Zhan Xiaotian, and they were all caring about Zhan Xiaoyan in their own way. Because it's not just my sister who cares about their younger siblings, they also value her and care about her in their own way. Because now that my father and mother are gone, the eldest in the family is my sister, and she will always arrange everything properly, will not ignore them in the slightest, and do not make them feel any discomfort.
"Okay, I'll already make dinner before the unitary time, tonight, I don't need to work hard!" Zhan Xiaoyan smiled slightly and said. She knew that this was her brother's concern for her, and it was also out of expectation of her cooking skills. It's noon, and there are still two hours, and there are two days in the space, which is enough for her to complete the last part of the work.
"Okay, sister, let's go out, if you feel tired, take a break, don't keep carving, and pay attention to rest!" Zhan Xiaoning said again. Because she is a girl, she always has to be more careful than her two brothers, and she will pay attention to some things they don't notice, and details that are overlooked.
After the three of them went out, Zhan Xiaoyan locked the door and continued to carve. A day to carve and half a day to inlay jade and pearls into wood, as she expected, plenty of time. Zhan Xiaoyan went to the kitchen to see, there were meat, fish and vegetables, thought about it, cut the meat, and then chopped it, the same is the vegetable, the fish is disemboweled, and then put the seasoning in the pot, pay attention to the ratio of water and wine, and then set up the firewood, light the fire, cover the pot, and start to make dumplings.
"Miss, when did you come to the kitchen? Is there anything I can help with? Zhang Tong came in with water, and was about to make dinner, when he saw Zhan Xiaoyan who was making dumplings, and said with a little surprise.
"I don't need you to cook dinner today, you go to see Xiaoyu, Xiaotian and Xiaoning, and tell them that they will eat dumplings tonight, and fish soup will also be made. Even though we didn't cook the dishes that everyone likes to eat, we have never had a meal that represents celebration when we moved here, and we will eat dumplings today to celebrate, and because we will open tomorrow, everything is a new beginning! Zhan said with a smile, and the movements of his hands did not stop, and he wrapped another dumpling in three or two clicks. 's skillful movements don't look like the daughters of big families at all.
However, Zhang Tong didn't know the past of the four sisters and brothers, so he didn't feel strange at all when he saw her movements at this time, some just admired, and thought to himself, if he could be so fast and skilled at any time, he wouldn't have to worry about cooking for the two young ladies and young masters!
"Dumplings! I haven't eaten it for a long time, except for the Chinese New Year, my wife only makes dumplings very occasionally. Now that you're going to make dumplings, I'm in for a treat! Zhang Tong said as he walked out of the kitchen. Zhan Xiaoyan watched his figure disappear, smiled slightly, and the movements in his hands naturally did not stop. Although Zhang Tong has no parents since she was a child, and then she grew up eating hundreds of meals, she is more mature than ordinary children, but she still has not lost the mood and expression that a child should have, after all, he is only ten years old!
"Sister, eat dumplings today! I just took a sip of fish soup, it tastes very good, what kind of filling is the dumpling? The three brothers and sisters who had already sat down smelled the fragrance of dumplings, getting closer and closer, and getting stronger and stronger, and when they looked up, they saw Zhan Xiaoyan bringing up a big bowl of dumplings, as well as chili sauce and soy sauce vinegar, etc., and so on, it will be more delicious.
"Of course it's minced meat, and celery, you guys wait and eat more, because I've packed eighty of them, and it's enough for us to eat!" The amount of food for a four-year-old child will not be too large, and the person who eats the most should be Zhang Tong, because a ten-year-old boy must not go hungry when he is growing his body.
"Well, it's really delicious! It's obviously a combination of meat and vegetables, but sister, what you make is different, it's really delicious! Zhan Xiaotian ate one, and immediately praised it, because it was really delicious.
"If it's delicious, eat more, it's still early, and I'm not afraid of eating too much, if you eat too much, just wait for a walk to eat." Also, wait for my sister to have something for you, which is specially made for the four of us sisters and brothers. Zhan said with a smile, and also ate a dumpling, well, the taste is still the same as before, and there is no regression. When dipped in chili sauce, it tastes even better!
Half an hour later, Zhang Tong washed the dishes, and the four sisters and brothers were also a little overwhelmed, because there was no one left of eighty dumplings, Zhang Tong ate twenty alone, and the remaining fifty-five, they ate almost fifteen by themselves, plus fish soup, they will definitely eat it, so now they stand up and walk slowly, hoping to speed up digestion.
"Who! This is the seal that my sister carved for the three of you, and under the seal is of course your name, as well as your zodiac sign. You are all dragons, so that's how you are [Zhan Xiaoyu (Tian, Ning), Dragon], and the top of your hand is what you look like now. Because of this seal, you will use it for ten or twenty years, so I engraved on the seal what you look like when you are four years old at this time, so that no matter how many years pass, I believe you will remember what you look like at this time! This is also what Zhan Xiaoyan thought of for a while, and she also engraved her own, the zodiac is a tiger, and they are all great zodiac signs!
"Well, thank you, sister, we will definitely save it! There is also a small hole in it, can you use a thread to pass through it and wear it directly around the neck? Zhan Xiaoyu looked at his own seal, and then looked at other people's, and said very happily. Even if Zhan Xiaoning couldn't see it, he touched it carefully with his hand, and he liked it very much. Because they all know that seals are generally not engraved casually, unless they are in a very important contract, they will be used.
"Yes! Although I have carved your seal now, I also know that you will not need it for the time being, so you will hang it around your neck for the time being, and when you grow up and have something to do, I believe that you will slowly use the seal! Zhan smiled and took out the thread, all of which were red, the thread she had made by the way, and some pearls were strung together, so it was also very beautiful.
"Okay, sister, we will definitely keep it and cherish it!" The three of them said in unison.
