Tian Yuqiao and her sister had returned with a great fortune this time. Besides cooking half a pot of meat oil, he also got six wild eggs.

Seeing that the two siblings had finally returned from the mountain, Madame Wang's initial worries were finally relieved.

"Mother." The two of them called out softly.

"Ai, it's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. "Kids like you can't just casually go there. A few years ago, someone accidentally fell into a trap dug by a hunter and broke his leg." Madame Wang's face showed a hint of worry.

"Hehe, Mother, don't worry. We're just going to get the oil. Quickly take the jar and scoop the oil out." Tian Yuqiao giggled as she began to move the things inside the bamboo basket.

Yutang was already exhausted. He went back to his room to wash his face and then went back to the brick bed to rest. Tian Yuqiao took the opportunity to secretly take out the six wild eggs from her Emptiness Realm while she was turning around.

He held it in his hands like he was offering a treasure and turned to Madame Wang, "Mom, look, I found this on the mountain. We'll make dumplings tonight."

The moment he heard he was going to make dumplings, Yutang got up from the brick bed with a grunt and said excitedly, "Yea mom, sister is awesome! She picked up a nest of wild eggs. Hehe, let's make dumplings with wild eggs and oil."

Seeing that both children were so excited, although Madame Wang was a little haggard, she also doted on them, so she agreed with a smile.

"Alright, I'll leave it all to you. "However, this dumpling should be covered with white noodles. Our branch family has only a few black faces this time …" Madame Wang looked a little worried, as if she was a wife who had been wronged.

Tian Yuqiao waved her hand and said, "Mom, you can rest assured. I will go to Grandma Juhua's house to borrow two catties of white noodles. After we wrap the dumplings, we will send them a bowl. When I go back to town to sell the herbs, I will buy white noodles and return them to them."

"Then the relationship is pretty good, let's do as you say." Madame Wang said with a smile.

Tian Yuqiao shut the dilapidated wooden door of her house tightly, in case the smell of running out would be smelled by the people from the main house. Madame Wang, on the other hand, quickly took out a small broken jar and carefully scooped out the meat oil from the small pot before putting it in.

Seeing her nervous expression, Tian Yuqiao couldn't help but be a little speechless. Alas, this is all poverty and fear of wasting a bit of the oily star.

Madame Wang looked outside through the gap in the door vigilantly. After confirming that there was no one outside, she hid the jar of oil inside the rice jar, pulled over a bundle of straw, and covered the top of the jar.

After finishing all this, Madame Wang finally let out a long breath. Tian Yuqiao saw that sweat seemed to be dripping from her forehead.

Tian Yuqiao handed the six eggs to Tian Yutang and told him to hide them. Then she carried a small basket to Tian Juhua's house.

When they arrived at Ju Hua's house, Tian Juhua explained the purpose of her visit and generously scooped up a large spoonful of white flour for her.

Tian Yuqiao took a look and saw that it weighed two and a half kilograms.

"Grandma Juhua, we don't need this white mask at home. I only need to borrow two pounds." Tian Yuqiao said in embarrassment.

"Hey, kid, why are you being so polite to me. "At that time, after your family has wrapped the dumplings, bring me a bowl of dumplings and say that you don't want to borrow any dumplings, then say something stupid."

Tian Yuqiao was not a fussy person, so she took the basket home.

Madame Wang took out the small bag of white flour from the basket and said in shock, "Ah, why are you borrowing this?"

"Mom, Grandma Juhua gave me this spoon. She said she doesn't need it anymore." Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.

"That's out of the question. We have to return the things that we borrowed, and they usually give us quite a bit of help …"

Seeing Madame Wang frown, Tian Yuqiao hurriedly said, "Mother, we can just send more dumplings over to her house tonight. This favor is not something that can be repaid after one or two tries." "We need to know how to live our lives. When we have money in the future, don't forget the family that helped us before."

"Yes, Qiao Er is right. Mother is confused."

As a result of eating dumplings in the evening, the two children did not eat lunch at noon.

Tian Yuqiao wasn't greedy at first, but in order to do something that matched her current age, she had to pretend to be a greedy little cat along with Ping An.

The two siblings stared at each other as they sat on the brick bed in the room and watched Madame Wang knead noodles on the other side of the brick bed.

The hut they lived in was pitifully small, and the kitchen had no room for the things they needed to wrap dumplings.

Furthermore, Tian Yuqiao did not have any board at home. This wooden board was given to them as a food board when Zhuzi's Wife came over that day. It was just that Madame Wang had been reluctant to use it.

After putting the chopping board into the room, Madame Wang put the noodles into the big wooden basin and placed it at the head of the brick bed, covered it with a quilt. Tian Yuqiao clearly knew in her heart that she had to wait for her face to show.

While she was waiting for the noodles to be served, Madame Wang started to clean up the wild vegetables.

This time, the siblings brought back a lot of grandmothers, which was the kind of wild vegetables that could grow dandelion. There are wild celery and shepherd's purse, which are common and edible for humans and animals.

Tian Yuqiao and Yutang took the vegetables and helped clean them up. Madame Wang, on the other hand, knocked the eggs into a bowl and scattered them.

The half-used black iron pot was covered with a layer of meat oil. The egg paste made a "Zi la" sound as it was placed into the pot.

A fragrant smell immediately rose from the pot, which made Tian Yuqiao, who was chopping wild vegetables, gulp down a mouthful of saliva. Not to mention Tian Yutang, who could never eat an egg.

The little guy had already stretched out its neck, and when Tian Yuqiao looked over, she saw that he was wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

It seemed like this little fellow had come to crave water! Tian Yuqiao made up her mind once again. She must take good care of Madame Wang and Yutang, so that they wouldn't be unable to eat their fill.

She was chopping wild vegetables on the old kitchen board where Madame Wang had turned six wild eggs into egg pancakes and was now using her chopsticks to grind the soft, golden pancakes.

While the wild eggs were still warm, Madame Wang quickly mixed them with wild vegetables and let Tian Yuqiao stir them with chopsticks. She took out the oil and chopped it into half a bowl, then added it into the bowl.

Then, he added some salt, soy sauce, pepper and other seasonings to make the dumpling stuffing.
