Chapter 156: Yi Pin Dumplings
“Don’t you worry about it. We’re just here for routine visit.” Ah Si answered calmly as he glanced at Chen Quan.
After they left the neighbourhood, Quan Yu told Mo Li, “There aren’t many places at Pearl River where you can find JC Canary Diamond cuff link. I’ll send my people to check all of them, if there’s any news, I’ll notify you.” Then Quan Yu asked Ah Si to send Mo Li ho.
For this kind of rare jewels, one could only get them through two channels. The first was specialized jewelry store, where people would place the custom order and then the jeweler would do the rest.
The second was the black market. In comparison, you would get a cheaper price through this channel but the quality of the jewels wouldn’t be guaranteed, especially when you had multiple gems on one item.
With regards to the quality of this cuff link, Quan Yu needed to go back ho to study it closer.
…
Once she reached ho, Elder Mo noticed Mo Li’s travel-worn appearance and figured she had skipped school again. “Sweetie…” Elder Mo wanted to say sothing but he was at a loss for words. He studied Mo Li for a long ti before he said with concern, “You better spend less ti with Young Master Quan in the future!”
Mo Li didn’t say anything but nodded and turned into the kitchen. Mo Li’s mind was quite muddled, instead of forcing herself to think, she wanted to relax, and food was a good relaxant.
Mo Li ran into Mo Yu who was rummaging inside the kitchen for food. When he saw Mo Li, Mo Yu imdiately jumped up and cheered. “Welco ho!” Mo Li then knew the kid had a favor to ask. As she expected, Mo Yu blinked his puppy-eyes at her and said, “Can you cook the dumplings you made for Mo Zheng for ?”
Mo Li tapped her chin and smiled, “Dumplings you say? Okay, but this ti, I’ll make Yi Pin Dumplings.”
“Yi Pin Dumplings? What is that?” Mo Yu was honestly also surprised that his act worked.
“Yi Pin Dumpling is a Jiang Su’s specialty dim sum. Instead of the traditional wrapped dumplings, it is much larger and has 3 open pockets instead. It looks like the Chinese character 品, hence the na. Unique combination of different fillings is the feature of this dumpling.”
Mo Li’s interest was instantly piqued. He asked, “Then what filling are we using today?”
Mo Li started to work the dough. “I don’t know, we’re quite spoiled for selection. We can do lotus seed, prawn dumpling, seafood egg dumpling, radish and chicken, pork and cow pea, winterlon and mutton. They are all good choices…” As Mo Li kneaded the dough, she ran through the possible combinations in her mind.
When the dough was ready and Mo Li raised her head, she realized that Mo Yu had prepared all the ingredients Mo Li had listed off earlier. He arranged them before Mo Li. “You were making so hungry! So I swept through the pantry. We are quite well-stocked.” Mo Yu exclaid with a proud smile.
Mo Li looked at him and smiled to herself. Honestly, Mo Li couldn’t find it within her to hate Mo Yu. He could be a bit arrogant and reckless at tis, but he had a kind heart.
Mo Li went to switch on the lights in the kitchen as it was getting dark. Compared to the lights though, Mo Yu thought Mo Li’s smile looked brighter.
…
When they were done preparing the dumplings, it was already almost 8 pm. While Old Madam Mo went to steam the dumplings, Mo Li sat down to rest.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from Quan Yu.?Has he found the person who bought the custom made jewelry?
Mo Li answered the call and after a few exchanges, she shot up from the couch. “Grandpa, grandma, big brother, I need to go out for a minute!” Then Mo Li rushed out without looking back.
“Sweetie, you haven’t even had dinner, where are you going…” Old Madam Mo and Elder Mo questioned.
On the other hand, Mo Yu was subrged in that term of endearnt, ‘big brother’.?It sounded so beautiful on her lips. I’ll have to make her call that more often…
When Mo Li walked downstairs, it was still that familiar person waiting for her. He carried a boxed al with her. “Miss Mo Li, please get in the car.”
