Chapter 227 - Dumplings and Holiday
Chapter 227 Dumplings and Holiday
Half a month later.
Xia Xiaochan finished her cultivation and went out of her treehouse, only to find the whole school was strangely quiet.
Not far from the treehouse, the barbecue grill and fire boiler were still there. In addition to these, there was even a shed there, with six words that read, “The First Kitchen in the World,” written on it.
Xia Xiaochan was surprised. There were more pots and pans, tables and chairs, and utensils in the kitchen.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan was cleaning the jellyfish and then cutting them into filaments.
Xia Xiaochan leaned over. “Teacher, isn’t Han Fei the cook? Why are you cooking?”
Xiao Zhan laughed. “He’s been in the plantation all day recently. Nobody knows what he’s up to.”
Han Fei had finished his cultivation.
So he came out of the cave.
Having nothing to do, he brewed vinegar at school, renovated the kitchen, and went to the plantation.
Compared to the plantation in the Heavenly Water Village, this plantation had a much richer variety of plants, where there were many spiritual plants that Han Fei had never seen.
And he found wheat here! He was really excited. Wheat, he should have found it earlier! He had been here before, but the plantation was too big. He only dug seasonings here. But this time, he found wheat in a far corner.
Just as Xia Xiaochan was about to go to the plantation to see what Han Fei was doing, she heard Han Fei howling from afar.
“Teacher, teacher… President, we have something tasty to eat tonight! You won’t believe how tasty it can be!”
His voice arrived before he did.
After a while, Xia Xiaochan saw Han Fei run over with an oversized fish skin bag.
“Huh! Xia Xiaochan, have you finished your cultivation?”
Xia Xiaochan didn’t answer but stared curiously at the pouch on his back. “What are you carrying?”
Xiao Zhan was also curious. “Did you work out a new dish?”
Old Bai popped up from nowhere. “Kid, I heard you a long way off. What are you shouting about?”
Han Fei chuckled. “President, you’re literally wasting the resources of this plantation! You have no idea how many treasures there are.”
Old Bai wondered, “Really? Are there treasures here?”
“In this world, not only spiritual fruits and spiritual plants are treasures. The existence of any plant is meaningful. Tonight, I will make you a new dish and let you have a taste of dumplings.”
“Dumplings?”
The others were puzzled. They had never heard of it!
Han Fei put the bag down, and when he opened the bag, they saw white flour.
Old Bai leaned forward to have a look. “Huh? Does our plantation have this?”
Han Fei shook his head. “No, I crushed wheat and got this.” “Wheat?”
Han Fei took out a small piece of wheat. “This is it.”
Xiao Zhan narrowed his eyes. “Isn’t this a weed?”
Han Fei scoffed. “Nonsense! How can this be a weed? This thing is very precious. They don’t have this in the plantation in the Heavenly Water Village.”
“What is it, what is it? Is it delicious?”
Le Renkuang jumped from the treehouse with a thud.
Han Fei was stunned. “Aren’t you cultivating?” “You were so loud. How could I not be bothered by you?”
Han Fei looked up at the other treehouses. “So, were you really just cultivating in the treehouses? Did you go to the cave?”
Le Renkuang shook his head. “No! I had been meditating for half a month. I found it very useful.”
“So, you can perceive that we are cooking with your eyes closed?”
“Huh?”
Old Bai and Xiao Zhan looked at Han Fei at the same time. “Can you directly perceive your surroundings?
“Huh?”
Han Fei found that he seemed to spill the beans, so he could only say awkwardly, “Um! I can perceive a little bit.”
Xia Xiaochan wondered, “Can you perceive it too? I thought it was something wrong with my perception!”
Old Bai and Xiao Zhan looked at Xia Xiaochan. “Can you perceive it too?”
“Yes! I can perceive the surroundings within less than two meters from me.” Le Renkuang was stunned. “You can? But I can’t!”
“Hu!”
Old Man Bai and Xiao Zhan were relieved at the same time. They were really shocked just now and thought that all of these kids could perceive their surroundings.
Old Bai’s eyes narrowed. “Only Dangling Fishers can perceive their surroundings, but even peak-level Dangling Fishers have the perception range less than 100 meters. You may have acquired some of this capability in advance.”
Han Fei smiled and changed the topic. “Where were we? Oh yes, dumplings. Dumplings are a good thing. They are super delicious… Don’t fight to eat it later!”
Then they heard Zhang Xuanyu said lazily, “You’re too much. I’m preparing to make a breakthrough to be an intermediate great fishing master, but you are cooking?”
Han Fei looked up at him. “Oh, you also come out. I cook every day, OK?”
Then Luo Xiaobai came out too and Wenren Yu also showed up.
Han Fei was busy kneading dough. Everyone was looking at his movements, stunned.
Le Renkuang asked, “What is this for? How did the powder suddenly turn into dough?”
“It’s because of viscosity! Hey, Xia Xiaochan, have the fresh shrimps been peeled? Zhang Xuanyu, cut the cabbage into small pieces… Kuangkuang, go peel the garlic and mush the red peppers.”
Le Renkuang took a look at Luo Xiaobai. “No, I want to learn how to make this! I have no time.”
“Fine, then you’ll be making us dumplings after you learn it.”
Le Renkuang rubbed his hands. “No problem! As long as I learn how to make it!”
Han Fei rolled the dumpling wrappers, stirred the dumpling fillings, and started to assemble the dumplings. Le Renkuang was very interested and made several dumplings, but he exerted too much force, crushed the dumplings, and ended up being kicked away by Han Fei.
In the end, it was Luo Xiaobai who helped Han Fei to make dumplings.
In the evening.
The eight of them were sitting around the table.
Han Fei instructed, “Dip it in vinegar before eating. And put some pepper sauce in the vinegar. It is damn delicious.”
Old Bai brushed him aside. “Let me try it.”
When Old Bai took the first bite, he raised his eyebrows. When he bit through the thin wrapper, the savory shrimp juice flowed into his mouth and his starving soul nearly screamed with each voluptuous bite of the fresh, crunchy vegetables and the chewy dumpling wrapper. Le Renkuang exclaimed after taking the first bite, “I am in love with it! It’s boring to eat the hot pot every day. Let’s eat dumplings from now on, which are even more delicious than hot pot, haha…”
Unlike Le Renkuang, Zhang Xuanyu maintained a handsome posture while eating. However, although he didn’t say much, he ate extremely fast.
Xia Xiaochan looked at Han Fei curiously. Luo Xiaobai seemed to prefer dumplings to hot pot and ate without saying a word.
Wenren Yu blamed Han Fei, “You brat, why didn’t you make dumplings earlier? We have been eating hot pot for the last half a year!”
Han Fei was helpless. “I didn’t know that there could be wheat here! I haven’t explored the plantation yet.”
Wen Renyu snorted and looked at Xiao Zhan who ate one dumpling each bite and finished a whole plate of dumplings in the blink of an eye. She patted him on the leg. “Don’t eat so fast! Leave some for us…”
Xiao Zhan was helpless. Come on, Han Fei made a big pot of dumplings. I have only eaten about a dozen of them!
Han Fei really enjoyed the meal. He did not expect to eat dumplings again! He almost couldn’t remember when he ate them last. After the big pot of dumplings was finished by the eight of them, Old Bai said leisurely, “Not bad! You can make more of this in the future… By the way, you’ve been in school for a long time. I’ll give you half a month off. The next month will be the admission season. Before that, you must all come back, understood?”
Everyone was stunned, and Zhang Xuanyu immediately asked, “Are we going to have a holiday?”
Old Bai laughed. “You don’t want to leave?”
Zhang Xuanyu shook his head quickly. “No! We need to take a few days off.”
Xia Xiaochan looked eager. “Good, I happen to have something to tend to and need to leave for some time.”
Luo Xiaobai shrugged. “Well, I don’t have anything to do. I’ll just stay in school to cultivate.”
Le Renkuang looked around. “Feifei, will you leave school?”
Han Fei thought for a while. “Yes!”
Le Renkuang was helpless. “Then I’ll leave school too! If you don’t leave, I will stay in school.”
Han Fei was helpless. “Why?” “Then I can learn to cook from you!”
Han Fei rolled his eyes. “Go away. I’ll go back to the Heavenly Water Village. I haven’t been back for a long time, and I want to go back to check my little shabby cottage.”
