So, in this large and elegant modern kitchen, the two worked hard to continue the millennia-old Chinese New Year tradition. Rong Qiuchen was in charge of the dumpling making, arranging them in a neat matrix. Yuan Ge was responsible for peeling the garlic and cooking the dumplings. Soon, two batches of dumplings were ready and being served on the table.
"It's so tasty! I thought we wouldn't be able to finish them all if I cooked too much, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious with the garlic sauce!"
As Rong Qiuchen watched Yuan Ge enjoying the fruits of his labour one bowl after another, his earlier sadness was gradually washed away and a faint smile surfaced on his handsome face.
