Crystal Clear

---Wow, wow, wow, both of them on screen together!

---An'an, what are you making today? Did I just see dumpling wrappers?

---Are you making dumplings today?

---What's so interesting about making dumplings? We make them every year back in the countryside for holidays and festivals~

---Maybe they're different from the dumplings we make?

An Zhiwu turned the camera toward the dumpling wrappers they had already rolled out. "Today we're making vegetarian dumplings. The two of us just rolled out these wrappers, but rolling dumpling wrappers is really exhausting, so if you want to make dumplings, I'd recommend buying the wrappers instead. It's more practical."

---Hahaha, this reminds me of the terror of rolling dumpling wrappers as a kid

---Kneading dough really gives your biceps a workout

---I've never tried it, but it looks pretty fun

---Girl, trust me, once you've tried it, you'll never want to do it again!

After showing the viewers the dumpling wrappers, An Zhiwu began shredding the zucchini and carrots, explaining as she worked, "After shredding these two ingredients, add a little salt and set them aside to marinate for ten minutes."

While they marinated, An Zhiwu fried two eggs, then chopped the eggs and wood ear mushrooms.

By the time she finished, the zucchini and carrots were just about done marinating too.

An Zhiwu found a clean piece of cheesecloth and squeezed the moisture out of the zucchini and carrots, then sprinkled in the seasonings and mixed everything evenly.

Once the filling was ready, An Zhiwu began wrapping the dumplings.

Xia Qian joined her at the side.

---This is easy. I'm making it tomorrow!!

---I'm going to buy dumpling wrappers

---The lady next to the streamer makes such ugly dumplings, hahahaha

---Those skills are on par with mine

When An Zhiwu saw that comment, she couldn't help glancing at the dumplings Xia Qian had wrapped.

Sure enough... they were ugly~

The two of them wrapped about forty dumplings, then dropped them into the pot to cook once the water boiled.

When they were cooked, they lifted the lid to find a pot full of crystal-clear dumplings floating on the water. The filling was visible through the wrappers~

Everyone in the livestream was already drooling.

---They look so delicious. Why are the wrappers so thin?

---Please tell us how to roll the wrappers. The ones I bought at the market before were really thick and split easily

---These dumplings are so translucent, I couldn't help swallowing my saliva

---I want to see the filling

---The streamer is beautiful and skillful

---Why aren't those people who accused her of making herself throw up saying anything now?

An Zhiwu served up two large bowls of dumplings, poured a little vinegar into each, and returned to the dining table.

Xia Qian couldn't wait and had already started eating. She bit into a dumpling but didn't forget to show everyone in the livestream. "Look, I wrapped this one. It might be a little ugly, but it's delicious!"

An Zhiwu tried one too. It tasted good, so she recommended it to the viewers. "When you have time, you can make a big batch and divide them into portions in food storage bags, then put them in the freezer. That way, when you don't have time to cook, you can just take out a small bag and boil them."

---I've completely learned how to do this

---This might be the only thing I can learn to make

---Honestly, I usually buy lots of frozen dumplings and keep them in the fridge

---I suggest the streamer make more foods like this that can be stored

After taking Tang Jingwen home, Song Yihe returned to Yihe Garden.

He was already exhausted after performing surgery all night.

He looked at the exquisite desserts Tang Jingwen had brought over on the dining table.

In the end, he left them unopened.

For people like them, whose work consumed so much physical and mental energy, eating staple foods was really necessary.

Desserts and the like were just a treat for when they weren't busy.

He opened the fridge and took out a bag of frozen dumplings.

Then he boiled some water and poured the dumplings in.

When he had nothing else to do, he would also look at medical cases on video accounts.

Once the dumplings were cooked, while he was eating them,

Song Yihe opened Y Cat Live and casually browsed the recommendations page.

Then he came across An Zhiwu.

As if driven by some unseen force, he clicked into her livestream.

In the livestream, An Zhiwu and Xia Qian were eating dumplings and chatting with the viewers as they ate.

Unlike other girls who ate in tiny bites, An Zhiwu only showed the viewers the filling at the very beginning. After that, she ate each dumpling in one bite, dipping each one in vinegar.

Song Yihe looked at the dumplings in her bowl.

They were unlike the frozen dumplings he had bought.

The dumplings in An Zhiwu's bowl were all crystal clear, with thin wrappers and generous fillings.

And she smacked her lips just a little as she ate.

Watching her made one's appetite grow.

Song Yihe's grandfather was a soldier who had been strict with himself all his life, and the younger generation in the family was absolutely forbidden from smacking their lips while eating.

He didn't usually like people who smacked their lips while eating either.

But watching An Zhiwu eat, he didn't find it off-putting at all. Instead, he thought her food looked delicious.

Looking at the frozen dumplings in his own bowl, Song Yihe suddenly felt they were a little bland~

But when he had gone to pick up Tang Jingwen earlier, he had clearly seen her point at the camera on the table.

Wasn't she a photographer?

How had she become a food streamer now?

And from the look of it, she seemed to have come over to work part-time. It was so late, yet she didn't know to head home earlier. Hadn't he told her to go back early that afternoon?

At that thought, Song Yihe inexplicably began to feel irritated.

An Zhiwu and Xia Qian ate more than forty dumplings between them.

Xia Qian rubbed her round belly. "Oh my god, I feel like you're going to make me gain ten jin."

An Zhiwu was a little too full herself and let out a burp.

Because Xia Qian had joined the livestream, her follower count had already risen to over four hundred thousand.

Her earnings had become considerable too.

She also understood Xia Qian's intentions a little. Xia Qian had probably seen that she was poor and wanted to help her this way.

"Xiaxia, will it affect you if you keep helping me with livestreams like this?"

Xia Qian waved a hand dismissively. "My family has a huge fortune. I just had a falling-out with my parents, so I decided to make money as a blogger. Don't worry, this is only a hobby for me. If it really doesn't work out, I'll just go inherit the family fortune."

All right... An Zhiwu felt she really had been worrying too much.

Why was a broke person like her worrying about a billionaire's life?

After tidying up the kitchen, she said goodbye to Xia Qian.

Then An Zhiwu headed toward the entrance of the residential complex.

For some reason, no drivers were accepting her ride request today.

An Zhiwu could only stand at the entrance, refreshing the ride-hailing app as she waited for a car.

Suddenly, a silver-gray car pulled up in front of her.
