After the Yuanxiao rolled out, it was time to put it into the pot.
This was simple. After boiling the pot, turn the heat down and push the Yuanxiao into the pot.
The snow-white and round Yuanxiao first sank into the water, and after a while, they gradually floated up, rolling up and down with the boiling water like little snowballs.
From the moment it was made to the moment it was taken out of the pot, the Yuanxiao kept rolling and rolling …
Ah Meow and the rest of them laid down on the stove and lined up on the stove, staring at the dumplings in the pot.
Li Du's mother shook her head helplessly and said, "These little things of yours are really greedy."
Sophie said, "No, they're not greedy. The dumplings don't smell anything. How would they know it's delicious?"
Li Du said, "Could it be that these little rascals have developed the habit of eating before us? Who spoiled them? "
"Who else could it be other than you?" Li Du's father squinted at him.
Li Du said, "Hey, I spoil them? I've never spoiled children. Just watch and see how I'll correct their bear habits. "
When the soup balls were cooked, he scooped up a few and threw them on the ground.
Ah Meow and the other five little ones fought to eat it. Li Du was right. They did not eat it because they thought it was delicious, but because they felt superior eating it first.
This time, they met their Waterloo. The heat of the freshly cooked Yuanxiao was definitely one of the top three foods. They rushed forward to take a bite, and then screamed continuously.
"Meow!"
"Awoo, awoo!"
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
Li Du laughed and said gloatingly, "Who asked you to fight for food?"
Li Du's mother slapped him and said angrily, "Don't mess around. You might get sick from the heat."
An animal's tongue had a very important function. Not only was it used for eating and drinking, but it was also used for heat dissipation. If food was overheated, it could easily scald the epidermal cells of their tongues. This was an important organ for heat dissipation. Once scalded, it would be very troublesome.
The five little ones shook their heads and left. This time, they were well-behaved. They each found a place to lie down and no longer tried to snatch food in front of others.
The glutinous dumplings that he rolled himself were more solid and full of strength. Mr. and Mrs. Martin were very cooperative. They gave him a thumbs up and called him Good.
In fact, they weren't really interested in the Lantern Festival. They were only doing this out of courtesy. Foreigners didn't like to eat hot sweets, and Yuanxiao had to be eaten while it was hot to taste good.
After dinner, the sound of fireworks could be heard outside.
Colorful fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky.
From time to time, Ivana would turn around to take a look. After a while, Brother Wolf's face darkened. "What should we do when it's time to eat?"
Li Du laughed. "Alright, let's go out and play after eating and drinking."
"Oh yeah!" Ivana shouted happily.
Brother Wolf continued to keep a straight face, but his eyes were gentle. His daughter had changed a lot since the operation. She was becoming more and more like a normal girl, which was what made him happiest.
They were about to drive when Li Du's father shook his head and said, "That's enough. Let's walk. Why drive? Half of the people in the county will be there tonight. Can you find a place to park? "
The group of people strolled to the county square. Their houses were quite a distance away from the square, so it took them quite some time to walk.
The street lights were dim and there was an endless stream of people.
When they met more people, they dispersed. Li Du's parents saw some old neighbors and acquaintances, so they inevitably stayed behind to chat.
Li Du took Sophie with him and waved to Brother Wolf. "You take Ivana to the east square. I heard that the child will organize the fireworks there. You don't have to follow me."
Brother Wolf opened his mouth to refuse, but Li Du pushed him and said, "Alright, you really don't have to follow me. Don't you know the security in our hometown?"
Sophie added, "Not just security. Brother Wolf, you have to give us some space to be alone."
Brother Wolf smiled and said, "Call me if there's anything."
Li Du took Sophie for a stroll in the square. It was a newly built public place in the county. There were sports fields around it, which were usually the arena for square dancing aunties to compete with each other.
The government was quite resourceful. They divided the square into many areas and placed many fireworks in the middle. They were going to set off the fireworks there. The surroundings were lit up and many sheds were set up.
These sheds had billboards outside and stalls inside. Most of the stalls sold fireworks, and some were rented out with all kinds of goods.
Walking along the stalls, Li Du could not help but say, "That's a brilliant move. Gathering people together, selling advertising space and fireworks at the same time, making money from both sides."
The government said that people were not allowed to set off fireworks in unauthorized places, and that they were not allowed to sell fireworks outside. Instead, they were selling fireworks themselves, and they were selling them in the square. They could make a lot of money that night.
While he was sighing, Sophie pointed to the side and laughed happily. "Look, there's a piano here!"
Li Du was surprised. Who would be so creative as to put a piano at the Lantern Festival celebration? Not to mention that it was so noisy that no one could hear the piano clearly, in this environment, was the boss not afraid that the fireworks would hurt the piano?
He took a closer look. It turned out that a youth hobby company in the county was advertising. They were engaged in music training and had put up pianos, electronic organs, guitars, lutes, and violins.
This was a clever move. After the Lantern Festival, primary and secondary school students would go to school, and parents would take them to see the fireworks show that night. Therefore, this was definitely a good opportunity for publicity.
In order to attract customers and to create a topic, the teachers were playing instruments and performing. In addition, they also invited parents and children to come and play instruments. If they were interested, they could come up and play a song.
There were many children learning the piano now, but most of them were shy and just watched from the side. No one took the initiative to play.
After the boss repeatedly invited them a few times, he noticed Sophie, who was not far away. Sophie's hands were beating the beat of the piano, and it was obvious that she was an expert.
The boss realized that it was a good topic and came over to ask Sophie, "Ma 'am, do you speak Chinese? Are you interested in going up and playing a song? "
"Here?" Sophie shrugged. "No, my hands are cold now, and my fingers are not flexible enough. It's inevitable that the music will go out of tune."
At this time, a tall boy next to him gently bit his lip and said, "Boss, let me try."
The boss looked at the boy, especially at the boy's old-fashioned and oversized cotton-padded jacket for a few seconds, and then asked, "Where are your parents?"
The boy looked down at his old-fashioned winter shoes and said, "I came by myself."
The boss immediately shook his head. "That's not possible, that's not possible. I'm sorry, classmate."
The boy blushed a little and whispered, "Oh, I'm sorry."
Seeing this, Sophie's expression changed slightly. She asked the boss, "Why? Haven't you been inviting people up to perform? "
The boss smiled and said, "The company has a rule that without a parent as a guardian, we can't let the child near the instrument. Otherwise, if he hits the instrument, it will be difficult to deal with the problem, right?"
