The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Dumplings
 

Competition?

It meant winning a million Star Coins.

Nian Shutong felt she could live well again, so she carried the flour across the bridge.

“Master, the books Daodao is moving seem that they’re going to be a hit! We’re earning tens of thousands of Star Coins every day now.”

Every day? Tens of thousands?

Nian Shutong put down the bag of flour, her fingers twitching a bit with excitement. Was it really so profitable?

“Daodao, how much have you earned?”

“Hehe… more than 180,000. Daodao is so happy! The readers below are all leaving good reviews!”

Very good, excellent.

Nian Shutong didn’t need to use Daodao’s money for the time being. She let him keep it as a reserve fund and told him to continue writing the novel.

Daodao happily accepted the task, and for the first time experienced the joy of making money! No wonder humans enjoyed earning money so much.

Daodao continued to write, and as he did, he reached the scene where Zhang Xiaofan learned the truth about the destruction of Cao Miao Village, and where Bi Yao used the Charming Spell to block the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation for him.

Writing this part, Daodao suddenly had a bad premonition, but what was it?

He didn’t know, just kept on moving the story.

Meanwhile, Nian Shutong also started to knead dough, directing Zhang Hui and her daughter to wash cucumbers, fry eggs, chop chili peppers, and mince meat.

But why was the dough she was kneading getting bigger and bigger?

Nian Shutong, for the first time, faced a Waterloo. At first, she added too much water, then added more flour.

But then the dough became too dry, so she added more water.

Back and forth, by the time it was ready, she had a huge basin of dough.

It looked like they’d only be eating lunch now, even though she was planning to have dumplings.

When would they ever finish making them?

“Morning.” Fu Yunhe got up a little later, having been busy making games late into the night.

“Just in time. Wash your hands and get ready to make dumplings.”

Dumplings? What was that?

Which ‘jiao’?

“Okay, how do you make them?” Fu Yunhe stepped forward, also looking interestedly at Nian Shutong.

“Watch carefully, I’m mixing the filling now. Although we don’t have many seasonings, it’s almost ready.”

“Cucumber shreds, add fine salt to draw out the water, squeeze it dry and then chop it finely. Mix it with the chopped eggs, a little oil will do.”

“For the meat filling, fry it a bit until it changes color, then pour the meat and oil together into the chopped green peppers and mix.”

After preparing the fillings, Nian Shutong started calling people over to help wrap the dumplings, including Zhang Hui and her daughter, Wang Xiaochuan, and even Rubble.

Rubble wobbled its big head, and its first words were, “Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble is very…”

“I know! You’re very weak,” Nian Shutong interrupted Rubble, “But your hands are very dexterous. The task I’m doing isn’t tiring, it’s suitable for you!”

“I just feel we can’t do it as well as you.”

Not as well as Rubble?

Hmm, that’s right.

“What you said is correct, Rubble has the most dexterous hands. Ms. Nian Shutong, what do you need Rubble to do?”

A smile flashed across Nian Shutong’s eyes, which, apart from Rubble, everyone understood.

By her side, Fu Yunhe seemed to have found a good way to have Rubble help, which was to flatter profusely.

“We’re making dumplings.”

After saying this, Nian Shutong started kneading the dough, pulling small pieces out and rolling them flat into circles.

Holding a dumpling wrapper, she said, “This is called a dumpling skin. Place it flat in the palm of your hand, put a bit of the prepared filling inside, then pinch it shut, and it’s done.”

“But make sure to pinch it tightly without any gaps.”

Nian Shutong confidently placed the dumpling she made on the table; on a rough look based on shape, it ought to be a dumpling.

“Cough… my hands are a bit clumsy, everyone just do as you please, no need to replicate mine exactly.”

“Ms. Nian Shutong, according to Rubble’s analysis, achieving the same as you is quite difficult.”
