Bright candlelight shines from the classroom window, and some figures move around among them. The candlelight is bright and dim, twinkling like stars in the mountains at night.
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 evening activities.
Several children aged 12-13 were kneading dough on the table with fist-sized pieces of dough. Mira and Aaliyah walked by them from time to time and told them how to knead the dough.
In fact, they had just learned it, and it was Lorraine Hill who taught them. At this time, the silver-haired girl had already tied up her hair, pulled up her sleeves, and pressed her round face with her white wrists.[567

Lorraine Hill is teaching these rabbits to make dumplings today. The first step is to knead the dough.
First, wipe the table and prepare basins and other tools, then pour the flour into a clean basin, then pour in the flour, add an appropriate amount of salt, then prepare cold water, slowly add water, stir the flour with your hands while adding water, and let it rain
Dip them evenly (if you use cold water, the dumpling skin will not break easily)
Stop adding water when the flour has almost turned into small flakes. Press the snowflake-like flour with your hands to roughly form a ball, then pick up the ball and place it on the table to continue kneading. If the dough
If it's too soft, just sprinkle some flour on the table and mix it in. When it feels about the same hardness, stop sprinkling it.
Keep kneading until there is no dough in the dough (that is, it is still powdery and not fully integrated). You can stop when the texture is soft and uniform. At this time, knead the dough into a ring shape and continue to knead it into thin strips.
After rolling it into long white strips, Lorraine Hill stood in front of the table, with a group of children watching next to her. She smiled, and then took out a knife.
Use a knife to cut the long white strips kneaded with flour into small cylindrical pieces. Each small piece is about the same length and width, and looks like a cube from a distance.
"Then turn each little piece over, right, like a thick round cake like this, and then use a thick wooden stick to flatten it."
While talking, Lorraine Hill used a small rolling pin to roll a small piece of dough into a round dumpling wrapper, and then picked up the rolled wrapper to show everyone.
“So amazing”
"Your Highness is so awesome"
"I want to try it too."
A group of children stared with wide eyes at the round dough held in that hand.
Like humans, the Rabbit Ears tribe used to simply bake flour to make bread. They rarely made various kinds of bread like the silver-haired girl showed. At this time, many children wanted to try their hands at making it.
.
"Everyone can try it for yourself." Lorraine Hill also encouraged, and then a group of children gathered around the round stick used by Mira and Aaliya to roll out dough.
But no one had thought of this kind of thing in advance, and the two rabbit-eared girls didn't know what to do. Seeing this, Lorraine Hill simply took out his 'Witch's Staff', which was the same wooden staff that he took off in the morning.
A few flashes of red light flashed, the slender wooden stick was cut into several pieces, and several students shared one, finally solving the problem.
The rabbits present were all following the same example, some kneading the dough, some rolling it into strips, some cutting it into cubes, and some rolling out the dough. They all divided their work, and some got tired of it. A few of them even exchanged tasks with each other to experience each link.
Although the dough rolled out by the little rabbits may be large or small, it is still generally usable. Even if there are odd-shaped ones, it doesn’t matter. You can knead them together and rework them.
While these children were excitedly trying, Lorraine Hill also ordered Mira and Aaliyah to prepare dumpling fillings. Then she walked back and forth in front of several tables to see the work progress of each group. If there was a little rabbit who couldn't
Wherever possible, teach them step by step.
When the students present had almost finished rolling out the dumplings, two girls from the Rabbit Ears tribe also brought over the prepared dumpling fillings. One of them was corn and radish filling, the other was mushroom and meat filling, and of course the evil leek and egg.
filling.
At this time, the children gathered around Lorraine Hill again to watch how she operated.
"First spread the dough in the palm of your hand, then use a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of filling and place it in the center of the dough. Don't be greedy. If you add too much filling, it will burst."
Lorraine Hill demonstrated, putting a spoonful of corn and radish particles into the dumpling wrapper. Then he put his fingertips into the bowl next to him, dipped a trace of water into it, spread it half a circle around the edge of the dumpling wrapper, and then folded it in half and pressed it.
It is like a half moon placed on the table.
"This is the simplest wrapping method," Lorraine Hill said happily. She also learned this way.
"But I hope you won't be bound by tradition. In fact, you just need to wrap the stuffing with skin."
After finishing speaking, Lorraine Hill quickly made the dumplings, and soon there were 7-8 kinds of dumplings of different shapes on the table.
Some are triangular and rhombus-shaped, some are square and square with a cross-like seal 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.
, after folding in half, the two corners overlap and pinch, and the seals are layered like willow leaves, very cute.
Whenever Lorraine Hill made a new shape, these children would shout in joy and then look at her with interest, hoping to see new patterns.
"Okay, okay, don't look at me. This is all I know. You can try it yourself next."
After pinching more than 20 shapes, looking at the various interesting and cute dumplings, Lorraine Hill was a little exhausted of inspiration, so he had to smile helplessly and let the children try it on their own.
The children present cheered, and then began to delve into it on their own. They all had great imaginations. Some felt that one skin was not enough, so they used two skins together. Some could not even call them dumplings, and even more so if they called them pancakes.
to be appropriate.
However, the silver-haired girl didn't stop her. It's okay if she can eat it anyway, so why bother restricting everyone's thoughts.
Finally, they brought a big pot, added water, slowly boiled it, and added it in batches.
While waiting, in order to kill the boring time, Lorraine Hill sat with these children and started telling fairy tales.
"...In this way, the ice elf princess named Snow White met 7 orcs after escaping from the Crystal Castle."
"Are there rabbit-eared tribes there?" one of the children asked with concern.
"There are some, one of them is the rabbit-eared tribe, there are also the fox-eared tribe, the goat-horned tribe, the leopard-headed tribe...the ox-headed tribe." Lorraine Hill gestured.
"...Although the orcs saved Snow White again and again, in the end Snow White still had to be placed in a crystal coffin because she ate a poisoned apple."
"...At this moment, a human prince came over, awakened the princess with his kiss, and then married the princess."
"...The angry queen came to attend the wedding, but was punished by the prince, who put on burning dancing shoes and danced until she died."
"In the end, the prince and the princess got married, the prince became the king, and the princess became the new queen. They established a country where humans and elves coexist."
"Okay, the story ends here. Is there anything you want to say?" Lorraine Hill asked.
"I want to have a magic mirror. I can ask it if I don't know how to do my homework." said a rabbit who loves to learn.
"I want that crystal coffin. No matter how seriously injured I am, I can lie down in it and wait for others to rescue me."
"I want those dancing shoes. If I don't like whoever I want, I'll let her dance to death." A little rabbit said in a bad way.
“What an amazing story”
"I seem to have heard similar legends somewhere."
"Don't think about it, this is the story of the witch." A knowledgeable little rabbit announced proudly.
"Okay, let me tell you the next story, which is the story of the little girl selling candles." Lorraine Hill clapped his hands and announced.
