"Brother Wang, I heard from Brother Yuan, aren't you doing design work outside? Why do you look like you went to New Oriental to learn it?" Li Wanruo looked at Wang Zhong curiously, but she didn't stop making dumplings in her hands.

Although Li Wanruo's dumplings are not very fancy, just the simplest Yuanbao dumplings, his speed is not slow and his technique is quite skillful.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Nothing else but my familiarity!"

Li Wanruo smiled lightly and said, "Is it possible that you really went to New Oriental to study?"

Wang Zhongdao: "I have never been to New Oriental, but I have learned from several chefs."

"Have you learned from the chef?" Li Wanruo blinked his big, watery eyes, his long and sparse eyelashes trembling slightly, and his clear and transparent eyes were filled with curiosity.

Wang Zhongdao: "At the beginning, I mainly wanted to find something to do after get off work, and I also like to eat, so I started researching it. Later, by chance, I learned a few tricks from several chefs."

Li Wanruo looked at Wang Zhong's skillful movements in rolling out dumpling wrappers and said flatly: "It's not like you have only learned a few tricks."

Wang Zhongdao: "This may be talent!"

Li Wanruo has no doubts about this. There are very few people who can't cook nowadays, but whether the food is delicious or not really depends on talent.

They also learn how to make it by watching videos on the Internet. Some people make it delicious, but some people make it unpalatable.

Although in reality it is not as exaggerated as in movies and TV shows, and there are not so many people who can't tell the difference between salt and sugar, seasoning and heat do require certain skills and experience.

The two of them talked in silence, and five hundred dumpling wrappers were already being formed under Wang Zhong's hands. Looking at the dumpling wrappers covered with flour on the chopping board, Li Wanruo couldn't help but sneak a few glances at Wang Zhong.

"Making dumplings!"

"We're here to help too!"

Yuan Xiao and Li Qin, who were still bickering just now, seemed to have talked it over, and they also came over with a smile and helped make dumplings together.

With the fillings and dumpling skins ready, Wang Zhong happily handed over the task of making dumplings to the three of them and turned to prepare other dishes.

It's winter, and the only fresh vegetables left in the fields are cabbage and radishes. There is also no shortage of side dishes such as coriander and green onions.

For today's banquet, Wang Zhong prepared a lot of good things in advance. The chickens and ducks were bought from several villagers who were engaged in breeding in the village. They were usually fed with whole grains. The chickens were free-range chickens raised in the mountains.

, the duck is a teal kept by the river, and there are a lot of ingredients left in the kitchen.

Wang Zhong took half a chicken, cut it into small pieces, stir-fried and then boiled it. For seasoning, he only added salt and pepper, then added dried mushrooms, poured it into a casserole and simmered it over low heat. Then he made a mushroom stewed chicken.

alright.

Wang Zhong did not take the mutton, but took more than a kilogram of beef tenderloin, and sliced ​​it into evenly thick slices. He also took a tendon, cut it into small pieces, stir-fried and then boiled it to make beef hot pot.

The staple food is still rice. After all, in the habits of southerners, except for breakfast, dumplings are basically not eaten as a staple food, but as a dish.

After washing a little of the radishes and cabbages that the three of them had picked personally, Wang Zhong took two more bowls of radishes and peppers that he had picked by himself, and a sumptuous dinner was ready.

The four of them sat around the Eight Immortals table, with a smoldering charcoal fire burning under the table.

"Don't be polite, use your chopsticks!" Wang Zhong greeted several people with a smile.

Yuan Xiao was the first to raise his chopsticks, pick up a piece of beef, and put it in the bowl of Li Qun who was sitting next to him, "Eat a piece of beef."

The joy in Li Qun's eyes flashed away, and Li Wanruo picked up the spoon, scooped out a bowl of chicken soup and left it aside, then used a colander to scoop out a few pieces of chicken and mushrooms.

"Drink something?" Wang Zhong looked at Yuan Xiao and asked.

"Then let's drink some!" Yuan Xiao turned to look at Li Qun next to him. Seeing that Li Qun didn't say anything, a smile appeared on his face. He rubbed his hands expectantly and asked, "Last time, did you drink Fenjiu?"

Is there any more?"

Wang Zhong said: "What, you want to drink Fenjiu?"

Yuan Xiao said: "That one tastes delicious!"

"I still have quite a few. When you leave later, take a few bottles with you and give them to your uncle to taste."

"We'll talk about the things later. Hurry up and get the wine first."

Wang Zhong brought the wine over, and several people had already started eating dumplings.

"Wang Zhong, how did you prepare this stuffing? Why is it so delicious?" Li Qun saw Wang Zhong coming out with wine and immediately asked impatiently.

Wang Zhong raised his eyes and saw that Li Wanruo's cheeks were bulging and he was still squirming like a large hamster.

"I'll write up the recipe and send it to Lao Yuan later. You can go back and study it yourself."

"But in addition to the filling of this dumpling, the dumpling wrapper is also the key to the taste."

As Wang Zhong spoke, he opened the wine bottle and poured a glass for Yuan Xiao first.

"The dumpling wrappers we sell outside are all made by machines, and they are incomparable to those made by hand." Li Wanruo interjected.

"It's not easy to roll out the dumpling skins by yourself." Wang Zhong said: "Kneading the dough is a technical job. If there is too much water, it will be too soft, and if there is too little water, it will be too hard."

"Why don't you write down the ratio and send it to me later?" Yuan Xiao couldn't wait any longer and took the lead in picking up the wine glass: "Come on, let's go first."

"Okay!" Wang Zhong picked up the wine glass and touched it with Yuan Xiao. The wine was still a little cold at the entrance, but it passed through the esophagus and flowed into the stomach. Within a moment, starting from the stomach, the chest slowly began to feel warm.

"It is worthy of being the national drink. It tastes no worse than Moutai." Yuan Xiao is a drinker.

"Where did you buy this wine?"

Wang Zhongdao: "I asked a friend to buy it before. It was originally intended to be given to my uncle, but the old man's health was not good and he gave up drinking, so he kept it. It's hard to say whether it's still available now."

Yuan Xiaodao: "You can ask me later. If there are any, I will also buy a few boxes, whether you drink them yourself or give them to others."

"Okay, let me ask you later." This wine is indeed good. After all, it is aged for thirty years. It is not that easy to buy on the market now. Fortunately, Wang Zhong saved some in the space and came out of the dungeon world.

Previously, more than a thousand cubic meters of space were directly used as a warehouse by Wang Zhong. Gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and jade only occupied a few cubic meters. The rest had long been divided by Wang Zhong and contained a large amount of daily necessities.

The four of them were eating and chatting like this, and the sky gradually became dark without realizing it. Wang Zhong and Yuan Xiao shared a bottle and stopped drinking. After all, although wine is good, it should be done in moderation.

If it is exceeded, it will be harmful to the body.

He sent the three of them into the car and packed up the cabbage and radishes they had picked during the day for the four of them to take back. Wang Zhong also put two boxes of Fenjiu in the trunk.

After Yuan Xiao drank, it was natural that Li Qin could only drive.

"Sister-in-law, the mountain road is not easy to walk on. Please drive slower on the road."

"Don't worry!" Wang Zhong had never seen Li Qin's driving skills, but Yuan Xiao and Li Wanruo were confident enough to let her drive, so Wang Zhong naturally wouldn't doubt it.

"Brother Wang, let's leave first!" Li Wanruo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, lowered his head and waved goodbye to Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong said: "Come back next time when you are free!"

"I'll definitely come when I'm free!" Li Wanruo replied with a smile, two shallow dimples looming on both sides of her cheeks.

"I won't send you away!"

"No need to send it away, it's cold outside, go back quickly!"

"See you later!"

"See you later! Bye!"

Yuan Xiao's car was a fully automatic black Buick Regal, and Li Qin drove it smoothly. Wang Zhong returned to the house after watching the Buick Regal drive into the darkness and disappear around the bend of the mountain road.

An hour later, Wang Zhong's authority received a new message, which was sent by Li Wanruo.

"Brother Wang, we are all home! Thank you for your hospitality today."

Wang Chong replied: "Stop saying these irrelevant things. Come back often when you have time."

After chatting with Li Wanruo for a few words about prestige, Wang Zhong originally planned to end the conversation, but the little girl unexpectedly took the initiative. After exchanging a few words, she first praised Wang Zhong's cooking skills, and then praised the scenery of Wang Zhong's hometown.

.

Wang Zhong is not an innocent young man who has never been treated by others, so why can't he understand this girl's thoughts?

The key point is that Wang Zhong had a good impression of this girl, so he started chatting with her about her prestige.

As they chatted more, the topic naturally gradually changed. Wang Zhong has experienced many dungeon worlds and has hundreds of years of experience. It is no exaggeration to say that he is well-informed. His profound knowledge is far better than those so-called

Expert professor.

No matter what the topic that little girl Li Wanruo said, Wang Zhong could pick it up steadily.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Wang Zhong said good night to Li Wanruo. After washing, he began his daily meditation practice.

In the urban area, in a community near the bustling area of ​​the new city, in the room, Li Li, who was wearing cute bunny pajamas, was leaning on the bed, with his lower body and belly wrapped in the quilt, looking at the news on WeChat with a hint of sadness on his face.

I giggled, exited the chat interface, found the contact with the note 'Qin', clicked on it and played a video.

"Why are you looking for me if you're still up so late?" In the video, Li Qin is applying a facial mask and also leaning on the bedside.

Li Wanruo said: "I haven't done anything, I just want to ask you something."

"What are you asking?" As soon as Li Qin finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed and she said meaningfully: "Is it related to Wang Zhong?"

Li Wanruo nodded and said calmly: "Cousin, you know..."

After hanging up the phone from Li Wanruo, Li Qin looked at Yuan Xiao who had just come out of the bathroom and said hurriedly: "I'm afraid Xiaoruo has fallen in love with Wang Zhong."

Yuan Xiao was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "This is a good thing! I think Wang Zhong is quite interesting to Xiao Ruo."

"You just want to introduce Xiao Ruo to Wang Zhong!" Li Qin had already seen through Yuan Xiao's thoughts, but she never revealed it.

Yuan Xiao said: "Isn't Wang Zhong good? He has money and ability, a bright future, knows his roots well, and has a good character. If Xiao Ruo and her can succeed, we won't have any worries in this life."

Li Qin nodded, but said a little worriedly: "Is it too fast?"
