Tissilan Mountains at night, Rabbit Ear School.
Bright candlelight shone through the classroom windows, and some of the figures were walking around. The candles were bright and dim, like stars in the mountains at night, twinkling.
The students who were supposed to go home from school did not leave today. Instead, they informed their families and stayed at school to participate in the evening activities.
Several 12-13-year-olds were kneading the dough on the table with fist-sized pieces of dough, and Mila and Arya occasionally walked past them and told them how to knead the dough.
In fact, they were just learning it, and it was taught to them by Roland Hill. At this time, the silver-haired girl had already tied up her hair and pulled up her sleeves. Her fair wrists pressed the round dough, occasionally Also sprinkle a little flour ash on the table to prevent sticking.
Lorraine Hill is teaching these rabbits how to make dumplings today, and the first step is naturally to knead the dough.
The first is to scrub the table and prepare the basin and other tools, then pour the flour into a clean basin, then pour the flour, add an appropriate amount of salt, then prepare cold water, slowly add water, stir the flour by hand while adding water, let it rain and dew All dip. (In cold water, the dumpling skin is not easy to break)
Stop adding water when almost all the flour has turned into small flakes. These flakes of flour like snowflakes are pressed with your hands to roughly form a dough, and then pick up the dough and put it on the table to continue kneading. If the dough is too soft, keep sprinkling a little flour on the table, mixing it in, and when it feels about the same firmness, don't sprinkle it.
Keep kneading until there is no raw dough in the dough (that is, it is still powdery and not fully integrated), and you can stop when the texture is soft and even.

After rubbing the white strips, Roland Hill stood in front of the table next to a group of children watching. She smiled and took out a knife.
Use a knife to cut the white long strips kneaded with flour into small sections of cylindrical pieces, each small piece is about the same size, and looks like a cube from a distance.
"Then turn each little piece over, yes, like this thick round cake, and flatten it with a thick wooden stick."
While talking, Lorraine Hill used a small rolling pin to roll a small dough into a round dumpling skin, and then took the rolled dough for everyone to see.
"It's amazing~"
"Your Highness is amazing~"
"I want to try too."
A group of children stared wide-eyed at the round dough in the hand.
Like humans, in the past, most of the flour used by the Rabbit-eared tribe was simply baked and made into bread. They seldom made various tricks like the silver-haired girl showed. At this time, many children wanted to try their hand at making it. .
"You can try it yourself." Roland Hill also encouraged, and then a group of children surrounded the round stick that Mira and Arya were about to roll the dough.
But no one thought of this kind of thing in advance, and the two rabbit-eared girls didn't know what to do. Seeing this, Loren Hill simply took out his 'witch's staff', which was the wooden staff he took off in the morning.
A few red lights flashed through the brush, and the slender wooden stick was cut into several pieces. Several students shared one, and the problem was finally solved.
The rabbits who were present followed suit, some kneaded dough, some kneaded strips, some cut into pieces, and some rolled noodles. They divided their work, and some were tired of doing it, and several people exchanged work with each other to experience all aspects.
Although the doughs rolled out by the little bunnies are large and small, they can still be used in general. Even if there are odd shapes, it doesn't matter.
When the group of children were excited to try, Loren Hill also instructed Mira and Arya to prepare the dumpling filling, and then she walked back and forth in front of several tables to see the progress of each group. If there were little rabbits, they would not where they are, teach them hands-on.
When the students present had almost finished rolling out the skins, the two rabbit-eared girls also brought the prepared dumpling fillings. One of them is stuffed with corn and radish, the other is stuffed with shiitake mushrooms and meat, and of course, the leek and egg stuffing.
At this time, the children gathered around Lorraine Hill again to see how she operated.
"First spread the skin in the palm of your hand, then use a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of the stuffing and put it in the center of the skin. Don't be greedy, too much stuffing will break it."
Lorraine Hill was demonstrating, put a spoonful of corn and radish particles into it, then put his fingertips into the bowl next to him, dipped it in a touch of water, smeared it on the edge of the dumpling wrapper for half a circle, and then folded it and pressed it in half. It is like a half moon, and it is placed on the table.
"This is the easiest way to wrap things~" Roland Hill said happily, she also learned from this way.
"But I hope everyone will not be bound by tradition. In fact, just wrap the stuffing in the skin."
After speaking, Roland Hill quickly wrapped the dumplings, and after a while, 7-8 dumplings of different shapes appeared on the table.
Some are triangular and diamond-shaped, some are square, with a seal like a cross in the middle, some look like starfish, with five sides and five edges, some are like steamed buns, with a crater in the middle, and some are like ingots. , the two corners are folded in half and pinched again, and the other seals are layered on top of each other like willow leaves, which is very cute.
Every time Roland Hill pinched a new shape, these children would cheer and look at her with great interest, expecting to see new tricks.
"Alright, alright, don't look at me anymore, that's all I've got, and then you can try it for yourself."
After pinching more than two dozen shapes, looking at dumplings of various shapes, interesting and cute shapes, Roland Hill was a little exhausted of inspiration, so he had no choice but to smile and let the children try it for themselves.
The children present cheered, and then began to study on their own. All of them had their brains wide open, and some felt that one skin was not enough, so they used two skins together. Some can't even be called dumplings, it's more appropriate to call them cakes.
However, the silver-haired girl didn't stop her. It's fine if she can eat it anyway, so why restrict everyone's thoughts.
Finally, they moved to a large pot, added water, boiled it slowly, and put it into the pot in batches.
While waiting, in order to pass the boring time, Loren Hill sat with these children and began to tell fairy tales.
"...Just like that, the ice elf princess named Snow White escaped from the crystal castle and met 7 orcs."
"Are there rabbit ears in there?" one of the children asked with concern.
"There are some, one of them is the Rabbit Ear Clan, as well as the Fox Ear Clan, the Sheep Horn Clan, the Leopard Head Clan... the Bull Head Clan." Roland Hill gestured.
"...Although the orcs rescued Snow White time and time again, in the end Snow White had to be placed in a crystal coffin because she ate the poisoned apple."
"...Just then, a human prince came over, and his kiss awakened the princess, who then married the princess."
"....The angry queen came to the wedding, but was punished by the prince, put on scorching dancing shoes, and danced to death."
"In the end, the prince and the princess got married, the prince became the king, the princess became the new queen, and they built a country where humans and elves coexisted."
"Okay, the story ends here, do you have anything to say?" Roland Hill asked.
"I want to have a magic mirror. I usually ask it if I can't write my homework." said a rabbit who loves to learn.
"I want that crystal coffin. No matter how seriously injured, I can lie in and wait for someone to rescue me."
"I want that pair of dancing shoes, and whoever doesn't like it will let her dance to death~" a little rabbit said badly.
"What an amazing story~"
"It seems that I have heard a similar legend somewhere."
"Don't think about it, this is the story of the witch." An erudite little rabbit announced proudly.
"Okay, then I'll tell the next story, which is the story of the little girl who sold candles." Lorraine Hill clapped his hands and announced.
"Okay~" the children cheered in unison.
