"Auntie! That's not going to work! We may not know much, but we can certainly roll out dough and wrap dumplings!" Li Si said with a laugh, tugging at Nanny Su's sleeve. She really was a great mother; if only her own mother were more like this—full of the warmth of everyday life.
Mrs. Su finally gave in, "Alright then! With so many people, making dumplings together will be lively!"
They ended up making dumplings stuffed with chives, shrimp, and minced pork. Everyone joined in, and Li Si ended up with several streaks of flour smeared across her face by Leng Mochen, provoking bursts of laughter from the group.
Mrs. Su also whipped up a table full of dishes, her cooking surprisingly even better than that of a hotel chef. Especially the braised ribs and shredded pork with garlic sauce—Li Si could barely resist grabbing some rice to go with it.
