My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 499 - 169: Son and Daughter

"Hmm!" All 2569 needed was the gentle comfort of Du Xixi. It shyly lowered its electronic screen and picked up another dough piece, starting to wrap the next shrimp dumpling, "Rest assured, Madame, I will strive to make these shrimp dumplings well!"

"You can do it." When it came to comforting robots, Du Xixi was already quite adept, but she didn’t intend to just stand by and watch. She picked up a rolling pin to help roll out the dumpling skins, "Be mindful of the filling as you wrap them; about two shrimp pieces per dumpling will do."

When Du Xixi prepared the filling, she used whole shelled shrimp, so in the large bowl of filling, each scoop had shrimp in it. Even when 2569 followed Du Xixi’s advice to control the shrimp quantity, the resulting shrimp dumplings were still plump, each belly rounded.

"Not bad at all." Du Xixi praised 2569 and saw it smile at her before continuing to wrap the shrimp dumplings. She went to fetch a steaming basket of similar size, placing steam paper on each layer so that the dumplings wouldn’t stick to the bottom.

No matter how much filling there is, there will always be an end to wrapping. When the first batch of shrimp dumplings were steamed to perfection in the white steam, the rest were already wrapped. Knowing that taking the dumplings out would elicit some teasing from Ke Xing and the others, Du Xixi asked 2569 to bring the entire steaming basket of dumplings to the dining table outside and then return to watch over the freshly steaming ones.

"What’s this?"

Despite Du Xixi having made so many delectable dishes, this time, the shrimp dumplings had the lightest aroma. It wasn’t that there was no smell at all, but the vast space mixed with a faint aroma that tantalized everyone’s senses.

Mo Ying, now much healthier under everyone’s care, had cheeks that had filled out with her returning health, and her complexion was rosy. She even walked with a hint of wind.

She was the first to reach the table. Leaning in, the aroma was much stronger, but the tightly sealed steamer sparked more curiosity.

As she tilted her head and asked, Du Xixi glanced at Ye Wenting, who was protectively behind her, and smiled, "It’s shrimp dumplings, with shrimp as the main filling ingredient. I heard your appetite has improved recently, so try more of them, okay?"

The spread of culinary delights has only just begun, and Mo Ying’s taste is quite varied. When she craved something tasty, she mostly relied on Du Xixi for ideas. As such, Ye Wenting had more interactions with the Ke Family. If 3533 couldn’t get recipes from 2569, Ye Wenting would personally seek Du Xixi.

"Your Ye Wenting really cares for you, huh? Just the other day, he asked me for a few recipes. Are you enjoying the food at home?" Du Xixi teased, squinting her eyes, causing Mo Ying to lightly tap her shoulder in embarrassment.

Though Mo Ying feigned annoyance at Du Xixi, her heart was sweet. She sneakily glanced at Ye Wenting behind her only to meet his gaze, and quickly shifted her eyes elsewhere, awkwardly changing the topic, "Uh, the shrimp dumplings look delicious; I must eat my fill later!"

Everyone else who arrived: ... 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ye Wenting: ...

Du Xixi: ... Sis, the steamer hasn’t even been opened, how can you tell they’re delicious?

After saying this, Mo Ying realized her silly mistake and, blushing, didn’t know what to say. It was up to Ye Wenting, who cherished his wife, to steer the conversation, "Let’s sit down first. Who knows how delicious Xixi’s culinary creation will be this time?"

Diwu Qian smiled slightly, at some point he had picked up Er Er in his arms, and following Ye Wenting’s words, said, "Shrimp dumplings, are they the same as the steamed dumplings my sister-in-law made before? I’m looking forward to it."

Du Xixi and Mo Ying sat together, with their hands linked, as Du Xixi began laying out the layers of the steamed dumplings, "They’re quite similar, but the shrimp dumplings’ filling is primarily shrimp. The steamed dumplings have more variations."

Diwu Qian nodded and, already seated, held onto Er Er while using chopsticks to pick up a shrimp dumpling, placing it on a plate to cool a bit, "Can Yiyi and Er Er eat shrimp dumplings?"

Diwu Qian and his friends rarely visited the Ke Family, not because of any falling out, but because their work had made them increasingly busy, even for Sun Mulin, who was semi-retired from the entertainment industry but still had many engagements to attend to.

The last time Diwu Qian saw Yiyi and Er Er was quite a while ago, when the twins were just newly born, both tiny. Diwu Qian thought his fist was about the size of their half bodies.
