We had wontons with red oil for dinner.

Zhang Beiting had already rolled out the dough before he set up the stall, so he only had to chop the meat and wrap it when he got back.

The pigs here are all raised on grass and grain, and the meat is very fragrant even with the simplest seasoning.

Zhang Beiting chose the pork belly with 30% fat and 70% lean meat, which was neither dry nor greasy to eat.

He rolled the wontons’ skin very thin, and the pink meat filling was wrapped in the white and tender wontons’ skin, which was round and very cute.

The firewood stove was powerful, and the wontons floated up in a short while. After adding cold water, they were fully cooked.

The cooked wontons’ skin was almost transparent, and the color of the meat filling and chopped green onions inside could be seen clearly. After rolling it in the bowl of soup and being covered with red oil, it was mouth-watering.

"It's a little hot," Zhang Beiting said, "be careful when you eat."

Song Yanqing heard Zhang Beiting's instructions, blew on it before taking a careful bite.

The soup with red oil and vinegar was his favorite sour and spicy taste, very appetizing.

The wonton skin was tender and delicate, with a little bit of toughness. It broke with a slight knock of the teeth, and the hot and delicious soup inside flowed out, numbing the tip of the tongue slightly, but he was reluctant to stop.

After tasting a little bit of the soup, he couldn't wait to swallow the whole wonton into his mouth. The meat filling was also tender and juicy, very delicious.

Song Yanqing ate two in a row before looking up from the bowl, "Is this what you said last time, delicious with chili oil?"

I still remember it, Zhang Beiting laughed, "This is just one of them."

The two of them lowered their heads to eat wontons, each with a bowl of ice jelly at hand. If they felt it was too hot or spicy, they would take a few bites of the sweet and cool ice jelly, which would reduce the spiciness and heat a lot.

Even so, after eating a bowl of hot and spicy wontons with red oil, the two of them still sweated. After cleaning up the kitchen, they hurriedly took a shower one after the other to cool down a little.

Zhang Beiting took a shower later, thinking that no one would come to see them at this time, so he only wore his middle clothes.

It was almost dark when they came out, and the light in the yard was a little dim.

Seeing Song Yanqing moving a table to cut cloth in the yard, he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly stopped her, "Stop it."

"Why?" Song Yanqing asked in confusion, her hand holding the scissors still resting on the cloth.

Zhang Beiting said, "It's getting dark. If you do this kind of eye-straining work for a long time, your eyes will be damaged."

Song Yanqing was shocked when he heard that his eyes would be damaged, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to give up.

When he was in the Song family before, he often worked at this time, and he didn't do much, so he cut the cloth for Zhang Beiting to make a middle coat.

"It's not urgent to do it tomorrow during the day," Zhang Beiting said, "I'll draw a pattern then, and you can make it according to the pattern I drew."

Song Yanqing was puzzled, "Are there other styles of middle coats?"

"I want to make it without sleeves, and the trouser legs only go up to here." Zhang Beiting gestured on his thigh.
