Shi Shi and Hongfu came to Villa No. 6 in the Yingui Villa District, and after knocking on the door and entering the house, they saw a very strange picture.

Yechen was wearing a loose home dress, dragging cotton slippers, wearing an apron, her hair was simply tied in a ponytail, and her clothes and aprons were stained with a lot of flour and oil. Perhaps because she didn't think the kitchen was spacious enough, she moved the board to a round table next to the sofa, where she kneaded the dough, like a young housewife at home...... How is this possible!?

The strong contrast makes Shishi and Hongfu feel like they are still in a dream.

They had been living in the Yingui Villa for the past few months, and they knew very well how terrible and terrifying the women who occupied this villa area, especially the pets she raised, which were simply demons, and Hongfu herself almost died under the claws of the white fox.

Seeing the two of them coming, Yechen said with a smile: "What are you doing there, come and help!" ”

Hongfu was the first to react, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Miss Chen." He gently pulled the master and hurriedly walked over.

Looking at Shishi and Hongfu, who were standing in front of him, his body was straight and stiff, and he had a professional smile on his face, Yechen asked, "Do you know how to make dumplings?" ”

"No, it won't." The two shook their heads. As you can see from their professional experience, these two have little to do with things like kitchen and cooking. Cooking is a reflection of love, care, and all they need is the ability to charm.

"And what about rolling dumpling wrappers?" Yechen asked again.

"Or ...... Still won't. Giving a negative answer again, the two of them felt very weak, and said carefully, lowering their heads, but there was an expression of secretly looking at Yechen. They don't know if they will be "disposed of" directly if they have no use value.

It's horrible, it's horrible!

"Okay." Yechen threw the dough on the board, and the two of them shuddered with a bang.

She looked at the two women with some amusement and said, "It's always a matter of chopping meat, right?" ”

"Yes, we will." Red Whisk hurriedly said. In fact, they have never been in the kitchen at all, and of course they have never done stuffing or anything. I haven't done it, but at least I've seen it, chopping stuffing is not a technical job, how can it not?

"Okay." Ye Chen answered, and took out a cutting board, two kitchen knives, and a few pots of ingredients that had been cleaned from the kitchen.

"It's time for the New Year tomorrow, let's eat something good." Yechen spoke.

However, it should be noted that the "eat something good" in Yechen's mouth does not refer to any meat, but to noodles. They hadn't eaten a single carbohydrate for a week, and in the morning, they knew that Yechen was going to make dumplings, and they walked lightly.

No way, meat is not difficult for them to obtain, as long as they go around the woods, they can always hunt some wild animals, but flour is different. Now that the order in Newlun City is completely chaotic, it is not known how long the turmoil will last, and the resumption of farming is even more far away. In this case, flour is a non-renewable resource, and if you use a little, you will have to use it sparingly.

Of course, there is another way for Yechen: buy it through the game store, but it is too expensive, a bag of ten kilograms of flour costs a hundred psionic crystals, which is really unaffordable!

But the Chinese New Year is always an exception, before the world changed, there was no shortage of homeless people in this modern big city, but they always found a way to get a decent meal during the New Year, even if it was disposable cutlery and chopsticks, it had to be presentable. This sense of ritual is important for all and can be inspiring.

After learning that there is this tradition in Newlun City, Yechen is also very serious about preparing for the New Year, and making dumplings is one of them.

In addition, there was another important reason why Yechen was so generous, she got a large amount of food from Shen Qian.

The Provisional Council of the City Hall did not guess wrong, and while handing over most of the grain to the City Hall, the Shen family did retain a lot. It was before the Shen family was raided, with the help of Katina and Yechen, Shen Qian transferred about five tons of grain from the Shen family's secret warehouse, one of which was given to Yechen as a reward for this operation, including the previous help. The food that can be stored for a long time is nothing more than rice and flour, and all Yechen wants is flour, twenty-five kilograms a bag, a total of forty bags, enough for them to eat for a long time. Since there is such a batch of food, there is no need to be too harsh, you have to let the rain eat some noodles and recall the taste of carbohydrates!

"We're going to prepare three kinds of stuffing, which are beef, venison and pork, and we're going to cut them into minced meat. Alright, let's get started! ”

"Yes, Miss Chen." After receiving the task, Shishi and Red Whisk each chose a kind of meat and began to chop it.

After looking at it for a while, Yechen knew that the two of them hadn't chopped the stuffing at all, but it didn't matter, the so-called whether they could chop the stuffing means whether they could do it quickly and effortlessly, if they couldn't do it, it would just take a little effort and time, and now it's only three or four o'clock, so don't worry.

Yechen put the kneaded dough into a small basin, covered it with a cage cloth, and took out a small basket of green "vegetables" from the kitchen.

If flour is rare, green vegetables are completely dismissive, and this thing can't be stored at all. This small basket was bought by Yechen, just to add some color to the meat filling and make it look better.

It is said that with such a large mountain forest at its back, even if the snowflakes have fallen now, because the plants have also changed, you can still see some green. But it is precisely because of the mutation of plants that there is no way to judge what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten according to the previous knowledge, and now I can't even pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables.

This is where the "pharmacist" comes in. Pharmacists, like cooks, are also a profession of life and have a specialization in plants. They can easily learn to identify a variety of plants that have changed their ways. This little basket of vegetables was bought from a pharmacist, who had all kinds of plant tubers, branches and leaves that covered most of the room. Whether these plant tissues can be used in medicine or not is to be judged by a pharmacist, but whether they can be used in the dish, it takes Yechen this chef, she spent most of the day, and selected such a small basket, I dare not say how delicious, at least there will be no bitter taste, some are similar to shallots, very good.

Just such a small basket of vegetables cost Yechen 500 psionic crystals, if you want to make stir-fried vegetables, it is estimated that it is only the amount of one plate, or chop it and mix it in the meat filling, so you can eat a few more meals.

Yechen changed the case board again, and when he was about to chop vegetables, there was a knock on the door, and after getting a response, a little girl less than a meter tall walked in, saw Yechen's appearance, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Katina!" Yechen didn't stop and said, "Come here so early." ”

Katina said, "It's okay anyway, just come over early, what are you doing!" ”

Yechen replied: "Prepare the dumpling filling, we will make dumplings tonight, do you know dumplings?" It's a kind of pasta, it's delicious. ”

"Of course I do." Katina gave Yechen a "you don't look down on people" look, and said, "When I was playing at the Darkmoon Circus, I also ate a plate of Delaney dumplings. ”

"Draenei dumplings? How does it taste? ”

Katina thought about it for a moment and said, "It's okay, the meat is quite strong." Okay, without saying that, how did you move to Villa Six? Wasn't it always on the fifth before? ”

Yechen gestured and said, "Because of that." ”

Villa 6 is in the style of a Western classical house with a fireplace. In the case of floor heating and electric heating, there is such a fireplace, the whole living room is warm, and it is a special pleasure to watch the orange flames jump and beat in the cold winter.

Katina looked back and said, "This fireplace is pretty good!" She took off her down jacket, put it on the sofa, and said, "Do you want me to help?" ”

Yechen put the cut vegetables into a bowl and said, "No need, let them cut the meat here, and when Saguna comes, we will make dumplings and eat them together." Let's go sit by the fireplace for a while. ”

There was a sofa next to the fireplace, and Yechen picked up the kettle next to the fire, made a cup of tea for Katina and himself, and said to the master and the red whisk after sitting down: "You can cut these meats before the sun sets, and you can rest for a while when you feel tired." ”

Katina looked at Yechen's appearance and said, "Do you really plan to spend the New Year with peace of mind?" ”

Yechen smiled and said, "What, shouldn't we relax properly?" ”

"Of course, it's best to be able to relax." Katina sat back on the sofa with a slightly sad look on her face and said, "But what about the current situation that allows us to relax?" ”

"What's wrong?" Yechen picked up the cup and asked.

"You don't know?" Katina glanced at Yechen and said, "After the dissolution of the Provisional Council of the City Hall was announced, the whole city was completely in chaos. ”

"Isn't that what we're hoping for?"

"That's true." Katina sighed slightly and said, "But there are too many people who want to fish in troubled waters, and in less than half a month, do you know how many new organizations have emerged?" ”

"How much?" Yechen asked cooperatively.

"I know more than fifty of them, like the Apothecary Association, the Alchemist Association, the Academy of Psionic Science, the Council of Six, and so on, these councils are frantically absorbing talents who should have joined the Professional Association, and the fruits of our hard work are being stolen by them!"

Yechen shook his head slightly, and said: "How can it be as serious as you think, when the social order is chaotic, it is normal for a group to appear for heating, and then there will be a big wave of sand, and the one who can survive is the organization that can really control the city." ”

"Then we're going to do nothing and watch from the sidelines?" Katina said very unwillingly.

"What else do you want?" Ye Chen asked rhetorically, "You also know that the strength of our professional associations is very weak, there are few official members, as far as I know, the Mage Association of Huorun is already relatively large, and there are only seven official members of the association. What are you doing with that? If you don't fight for more people, then you have to fight for level strength, but some time ago we were negligent in improving the level, and most of them are still level two so far, so why compete with others for this little strength? ”

Yechen gently patted the armrest of the sofa with his hand and said, "Be patient, we need to hibernate for the time being." ”

Katina looked at Yechen, and after a long while, she said helplessly: "There is really no way." She didn't want to wait for the opportunity so passively, but she couldn't refute Yechen's judgment - they really couldn't do anything at this stage.

When the sun was about to set, Saguna also asked this question when she came over, chatted a few words, and exchanged everyone's opinions, she was also very unwilling, threw the rolled dumpling skin aside, and said, "Then didn't we work in vain before?" Purely made a wedding dress for someone else. ”

Yechen picked up the dumpling wrappers rolled out by Saguna, and while demonstrating how to make dumplings like Katina, she said, "Why are you working in vain?" ”

"Why isn't it for nothing? How much thought and effort did it take us to overthrow the Provisional Council of the City Hall, and the result? The chaotic society has cheapened those organizations that have sprung up out of nowhere, and because of the time delayed, few of us have reached level three, isn't this a waste of work? ”

Correcting Katina's gesture of making dumplings, Yechen said, "We have at least proved that we are strong. ”

"What's the use of that?" Sagunar said angrily, "Who can send us a certificate?" ”

Yechen was about to speak, when there was a knock on the door. She estimated the time and said, "Hurt rain, go open the door." "Just now, Hurt Yu has been sitting next to him, listening to Yechen and the others chatting about the urban pattern or something. Analysis and deduction is the area that Hurt Yu is not good at, she likes to listen to it a little more, and then think back a few more times according to Yechen's request, and try to analyze it herself.

"Oh, okay." Hurt Yu answered, opened the door and saw two people standing outside the door - Huo Yun and Saria.

Hurt Yu glanced back at Yechen, he didn't expect them to come, isn't it a gathering of the evil camp today? How did Huorun come here? Smashing the field?

Yechen stood up, but did not come out to greet him, but said very familiarly: "Come in, it's too cold outside, the weather is gloomy, it seems to be snowing again." ”

Hearing Yechen say this, Hurt Yu let go of the door and said, "Welcome." ”

Huo Run nodded, walked in, saw the dumplings that had been placed on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Yechen is worthy of being the most interesting person among us, when we are still busy, people have learned to enjoy life." ”
