Excitement flashed across Madam Fang's face, and she pushed Chen Yulan, "Go and help them."
Then, the Gu family would be embarrassed, and have no other choice but ask them to eat with them.
Chen Yulan turned around and ran to the kitchen. She originally wanted to tell them where the water was, but she didn't expect that they were already boiling it.
Looking at the dumplings placed on the bamboo basket on the side, Chen Yulan's face turned red.
Dumplings. They were white flour dumplings, white and big, with a lot of filling. Just looking at them would make you drool.
She forcefully looked away, and then said enthusiastically, "Sister Yundong, are you cooking dinner? I'll help you fan the fire."
" No need. My mother is here, it will be fine in a little while. You go about your own business."
Seeing the water boiling, Gu Yundong added oil, salt, chopped green onion to the large ceramic bowl to adjust the taste, and then poured boiling water over it, and the water instantly became oily.
Chen Yulan tugged her hands tightly, and Instead of walking away, she took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "Are you going to eat dumplings? Why didn't I see you make them? They smell so delicious. My mother and I made food earlier. I drank some porridge, and now I'm hungry again just from smelling them."
She drank some porridge earlier? Then why were the pan and the stove cold when she came in? It didn't look like it had just been used.
Gu Yundong was not a fool, she could hear such obvious words. Coupled with Chen Yulan's eyeballs that were about to fall into the dumpling basket, plus her perfectly timed act of coming to help, it was evident that she wanted to eat their dumplings.
She wanted to eat whatever she want, and she was even poking around in the dark.
She is not an unreasonable person, but at least you should tell the truth. Saying the she had drank porridge earlier and that now you were hungry again. Gu Yundong was afraid that she had been waiting for them to cook and grab what they made to eat, right?
Who entitled their bad habits? Gu Yundong didn't ask them to be like Madam Ke, but at least she wanted to get along with them like a normal landlord and their tenant. She paid the room fee so she didn't owe them anything.
Gu Yundong smiled, watching at the fat dumplings in the pot float up one by one. She suddenly became more happy. "Yes, we are going to eat dumplings. I thought that it was getting really late, so I decided to cook now before it became too troublesome"
After that, she placed all the dumplings into a big bowl that had been storing ingredients. This bowl was something she bought when she was in Xuanhe City.
It was very big, just like the bowl she used to eat pickled fish in at restaurants in her previous life.
Now that all the dumplings were fished out, Gu Yundong said to Chen Yulan, "I finished cooking. The kitchen is all yours now. We'll go back to our room to eat so we won't disturb you. It's still early. If you are still hungry there's is time to cook. If you don't wait waste time, you can make noodles or something else."
She put a piece of cloth on the edge of the bowl, carried it and walked away. From a distance she said, "Mom, put the fire out, clean the pot and then hurry back to our room to eat dumplings. There aren't many dumplings. My brothers and sisters finished them in a while."
"I will be done soon." Mother Yang moved quickly, after brushing the pot quickly she followed her outside.
There was still the smell of dumplings hanging around in the kitchen as Chen Yulan stood there in front of the stove, her face ashen.
When Madam Fang came in, she heard her kick the table leg hard, causing her to cry out in pain.
"What are you doing? What's going on?"
Chen Yulan felt extremely wronged. She had been so kind to her by helping her before and after going to the homestead. She advised her to stay away from Shao Qingyuan, to not offend him. What was the result? This Gu Yundong was a white-eyed wolf with no conscience.
