Chapitre 38: Chapter 20 Dumplings

Many hands make light work, and it didn't take long for Mrs. Chen and the others to finish making the dumplings. Wenhan hurriedly fetched some firewood and added water to the pot before setting it on the fire. Once the water in the pot came to a boil, the dumplings were nearly ready for cooking, and Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhu each carried over a skimming ladle full of dumplings to the kitchen. Mrs. Xue poured the dumplings into the pot, constantly stirring with a spoon to prevent them from sticking together.
