1216 Learning to Make Dumplings

After Jian Ai came out of the new house, she separated from Wang Yunmei and took a taxi to Bai Zhou’s place.

At around four in the afternoon, the sky darkened early in the winter in the north. The apartment was already brightly lit.

At the dining table in the living room, Chi Yang was teaching Andrew and Irene how to make dumplings.

“Damn, it seems like you’re integrating yourselves as locals well.” Jian Ai entered and saw this scene. She was surprised and couldn’t help but laugh.

It seemed that everyone was getting along well!

However, it made sense. Previously, both sides had no choice. One party carried out the commission, and the other party protected their friends. The two parties had no choice but to stand opposite each other. After all, everyone had special abilities. Be it superpowers or Chinese mental cultivation techniques, they were abnormal compared to ordinary people.

You’re an abnormality, and I’m an abnormality. We’re the same kind. We should get along harmoniously like this.

When Andrew heard this, he revealed a slightly shy smile. White teeth flashed under his shiny black skin. “Chi Yang made us many different Chinese delicacies before. We like dumplings the most and can’t forget them.”

Irene also looked up and smiled. “Chi Yang makes everything delicious, but I also like his dumplings the most.”

“Europe also has Italian dumplings, but they’re different from your Asian dumplings. Moreover, I’ve eaten Asian dumplings before, and I still think Chi Yang’s dumplings are the best!”

Jian Ai smiled and nodded. When she heard Irene mention Italian dumplings, she nodded with emotion. “I’ve eaten Italian dumplings before, and I’m not used to it!”

The fillings of the Italian dumplings were different. Usually, cheese would be added, and there were some strange things. Moreover, the soup base was not like the clear water that the Chinese cooked dumplings with. The soup base of the Italian dumplings was also very particular. It was all sticky and broth-like. The ingredients emphasized the rich texture.

Jian Ai had eaten it once at Leader Hans’s place. After taking a bite, the taste was indescribable. The dumplings were bitter, sweet, and salty. The soup was strange, and it tasted like overnight swill…

Now that she thought about it, the smell was still fresh in her mind.

Chi Yang sighed helplessly when he heard that. He couldn’t help but say, “It’s not that I’m deliberately showing off, but I’ll make Italian dumplings for you when I have the chance later. They’re actually very delicious.”

Jian Ai sat down at the dining table. She didn’t know how to make dumplings, so she didn’t interfere. She just looked around the room and couldn’t help but wonder, “Where are Bai Zhou and Chi Lian?”

“They went out to buy wine,” Chi Yang said casually.

Jian Ai nodded in understanding. Her gaze landed on Andrew’s thick and heavy hands. The white flour standing on his black hands looked indescribably funny. Coupled with his clumsy movements, Jian Ai couldn’t help but laugh after looking at him for two seconds.

Andrew was a little embarrassed by this smile. He chuckled as well and said, “I’ve never done such delicate work usually. I’ve embarrassed myself.”

Jian Ai just found it funny, but she wasn’t mocking him. Hearing this, she quickly said, “It’s fine. Continue making dumplings. I don’t know how to make dumplings either!”

As he spoke, Andrew had already wrapped one. He placed the small dumpling in the middle of his palm and handed it to Chi Yang and Jian Ai smugly with a satisfied expression on his face. “This dumpling is okay, right?”

The two of them focused their eyes and laughed at the same time. Andrew’s closed dumpling looked like a lid on a casserole. Even Jian Ai, who didn’t know how to make dumplings, knew that such dumplings would open up when they were added to the pot!

Chi Yang nodded and praised, “This is much better than the ones you’ve made before. All the best!”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but look around curiously. “Where are the dumplings from before?”

“In a trash can!” Chi Yang smiled and said, “Why don’t we wait for vegetable soup…”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but laugh again. Even Irene laughed.

The three of them placed the dumplings they had made at the side. Andrew was clumsy, so he only made five dumplings that Chi Yang felt could be cooked. Irene, on the other hand, was skillful. The dumplings she made were especially neat and beautiful, and Chi Yang and Jian Ai unanimously praised them.

In the end, Andrew had to admit defeat. He said to Irene, “When we return to Italy in the future and want to eat dumplings, you should make them.”

Irene smiled and said, “You can learn Buddha Jumps Over the Wall from Chi Yang. Make it for me then.”

Andrew quickly nodded. “No problem.”

When Chi Yang heard this, he couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh helplessly at Jian Ai. “Look, they’re picking a rare dish to learn. They want to learn Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!”

“I’ve never eaten it before!” Jian Ai smiled.

“Why is this dish called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?” Andrew suddenly asked again. He looked at Chi Yang and said seriously, “Is it because this dish is for monks? But aren’t monks vegetarian?”

Andrew’s question stumped Jian Ai. She had never eaten the complicated Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so she didn’t know the origin of this name.

Everyone looked at Chi Yang, and Chi Yang explained as he cleaned up the mess, “This dish was originally called Fu Shou Quan. In ancient times, there was an allusion that when the lid was open, the meaty fragrance floated around. When the monk smelled the fragrance, he stopped meditating and wanted to jump over the wall to eat it. Therefore, it got the name ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yang couldn’t help but say to them, “I haven’t made it in a long time. I’ll make it for you another day. I still have my secret recipe for making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. I promise it’ll be even more delicious than what you’ve eaten in the past!”

Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard this. They nodded one after another. Jian Ai said, “You have to call me. I’ve never eaten it before!”

“What have you not eaten before?!”

At this moment, Bai Zhou and Chi Lian had also returned with alcohol, followed by Si Yue. When they entered and heard Jian Ai’s words, Bai Zhou interrupted.

Seeing this, Jian Ai stood up and walked forward. “Chi Yang said that he would make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for us to eat in a few days. I said that I’ve never eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall before!”

“Oh, then you have to try it. Chi Yang’s Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is simply superb. However, he has to cook for three days every time. It took a lot of effort,” Bai Zhou said and couldn’t help but purse his lips. “Even the last time I ate it was last year.”

Chi Lian chimed in coldly, “The last time I ate was three to four years ago!”

Hearing Bai Zhou’s words, Jian Ai was even more expectant. She turned around and called out, “Chi Yang, I want to eat it next week!”

Chi Yang’s voice came from the kitchen. “No problem!”

Jian Ai clapped her hands in satisfaction. At this moment, Bai Zhou walked forward and pulled Jian Ai towards the sofa. He said, “Don’t think about Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for now. Leader Hans already told me about the news from Louise and Gale.”

“So soon?” Jian Ai was stunned. How many days had it been since Louise and Gale were sent out?
