Steaming hot dumplings were taken out of the pot, a large plate of white, plump dumplings was served, with vinegar poured into minced garlic and topped with chili oil.
All the guests were seated at the two tables.
Liu Baoguo raised his glass, as he was the most senior among those present.
"Bai Song is not often back home, and Bai Xiao is going to university in the provincial city in a few days, so this can be considered a farewell drink. Come on, men will drink, and ladies, just enjoy the dishes and the dumplings," he said.
Everyone happily began to eat.
An Zhiyuan swallowed a dumpling, and the taste was simply divine. The filling was a perfect blend of fat and lean meat, juicy and bursting with the aroma of chives. He took another bite, savoring the delicious broth, then had a fennel-filled dumpling.
The taste of this dumpling was different from the chive one, carrying a light and refreshing fragrance.
He took a sip of liquor, followed by a bite of stuffed tripe.
