Chapter 716: Cooking Wontons
The soft and warm cotton quilt exudes a faint scent of the sun.
Nier gently pulled the quilt to her chin, feeling its warmth and softness, which was like her mother's embrace, making her feel extremely safe.
This feeling hadn't been felt for a long time. Nier couldn't help but close her eyes and took a deep breath, letting the fresh smell fill her nostrils.
At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten all her worries and stress, and immersed herself in the tranquility and comfort.
Home, this simple word contains endless warmth and strength.
Here, Nier can let go of all her disguises and defenses, and can fully enjoy the tranquility and feel the warmth and comfort of home.
Ni'er was sleeping with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. I wonder what kind of beautiful dream she was having.
However, the morning sun shone through the window onto her face, and the sound of a soft claw scratching at the door broke her sweet dream.
Nier slowly opened her eyes, and the scene before her made her feel both familiar and unfamiliar.
She blinked, and after a moment, the memory came flooding back—she was now back home.
The scratching sound continued, and it sounded a little strange.
Nier was curious, so she jumped out of bed, put on her clothes, walked quickly to the door and opened it.
As soon as the door opened, a furry dog head couldn't wait to come in. "Yuanbao!" Ni'er exclaimed in surprise.
"Woof woof woof!" Yuanbao responded excitedly, its tail shaking quickly like a propeller, but it did not go into the house, but just kept barking at the door.
At this time, the third brother came out of the kitchen. He wiped the water off his hands with a towel and said with a smile: "This Yuanbao is really good at catching mice. He always catches them."
"I borrowed it from my neighbor and just returned it this morning. As soon as it smelled you, it started hanging around your door and wouldn't leave no matter how hard I tried to shoo it away, so I just let it go."
Nier quickly put on her clothes and rushed out like the wind.
Yuanbao was like a loyal little follower, following Ni'er closely and circling around her all the time.
Its little nose seemed to be particularly fascinated by Nier's smell, and it kept sniffing her, as if it could never smell enough.
Yuanbao's tail was wagging happily, and he was about to fly.
Its eyes were fixed on Nier, and one could actually see joy on a dog's face.
At the same time, the third child was busy in the kitchen.
He got up early in the morning, kneaded the dough, prepared the fillings, and prepared to make a delicious breakfast for Ni'er.
"The wontons are ready!" the third child shouted happily. "I learned this skill from my neighbor. You can try some later and see how they taste. Your mother and your brother love the wontons I make. Every time I make them, they eat a lot."
"When you're not at home, every time I eat wontons I think of you not being able to have them, and I feel really bad."
"So I packed a lot today. If you like it, eat more. A good breakfast will give you energy for the whole day!"
Like a kitten with a keen sense of smell, Nier followed the tempting fragrance and walked into the kitchen with light steps.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she was attracted by the scene in front of her - a pot of wontons was cooking in the steaming pot, and the aroma went straight into her nose.
"Wow, I was wondering why it smells so good, it turns out to be wontons!" Ni'er exclaimed in surprise, staring at the pot with her big eyes.
She turned around, looked at the third child with a smile on her face, and said happily, "Dad, how many dishes did you secretly learn while I was away? These wontons are so delicious!"
The third son felt a little embarrassed by his daughter's praise. He smiled and took out a few bowls and put a little lard in each bowl.
Then, while stirring the wontons in the pot, he said, "Dad doesn't have much to do every day, so I thought about making something delicious for you."
"Every day when your brother wakes up, the first thing he says is he's hungry. Every time he comes home from school, the first thing he says is he's hungry. He's in the growth phase now, so he needs to eat well."
"Besides, seeing you guys enjoying your meals and growing taller, Dad is happy too!"
"Besides, our family is better off now, so we can afford these. It's not like before, when we had to break every penny into eight petals!"
Ni'er felt warm in her heart when she heard what her father said.
Suddenly I noticed that my father seemed to have taken out a lot of bowls.
She counted carefully and found that there was one more bowl than the number of people in the family.
"Dad, why is there an extra bowl?" Ni'er asked curiously.
The third brother didn't even raise his head as he chopped the side dishes into small pieces and replied casually, "Oh, that bowl is for Yuanbao."
The wontons had thin skin and large fillings, rolling in the boiling soup.
The third brother stood in front of the stove, holding a large wooden spoon in his hand, gently scooping up the steaming wontons in the pot and putting them into the bowl one spoonful at a time.
As the wontons fall in, the aroma becomes more intense.
The lard melted quickly under the action of the hot soup, turning into small golden oil droplets that floated on the surface of the soup like stars.
Then, the third brother picked up a handful of green chopped green onions and coriander and skillfully sprinkled them into the bowl.
The fresh color and rich aroma add a touch of freshness and vitality to this bowl of wontons.
Finally, he added a few small shrimps as the finishing touch to the bowl of wontons.
Nier stood aside and watched all this quietly.
Her eyes were attracted by the bowl of wontons, and the tempting aroma made her drool.
She felt as if she was surrounded by a fresh, fragrant and moist scent, and this feeling made her feel extremely comfortable and satisfied.
The weather was dry and cold early in the morning, and Nier's hands were almost frozen. She wanted to put her hands into her sleeves.
However, as soon as she walked into the kitchen, it was as if she had entered a wonderland.
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of wontons, steaming hot, making people feel particularly warm.
Not only that, but Daddy’s reassuring presence also warmed Nier’s heart.
"It's so nice to be home!" Ni'er couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Yichuan also woke up from his sleep. He yawned sleepily and slowly walked into the kitchen.
When he saw the bowl of steaming wontons on the table, he instantly perked up and his sleepiness disappeared without a trace.
"Wow, wontons!" Yichuan exclaimed excitedly, "I'll go wash up now, hahaha~ I love wontons so much!"
Ni'er couldn't help laughing when she saw Yichuan's impatient look.
She thought to herself that she had to take Yuanbao's bowl of wontons out quickly, otherwise the wontons would get cold if she left them out for a while longer.
