Tu Hop Institute: From Being Buried Alive, Stubbornness Begins

On a winter day in the 60s of the last century, Cheng Daodao and his friend Xiao Ming met to make dumplings in Cheng Daguo. Cheng Dao is a hospitable person who loves to share good food and happy moments with friends.

(Scene: Cheng's kitchen, with various ingredients and dumpling wrappers on the table.)

Cheng Daodao: (Welcome Xiao Ming) Xiao Ming, you're finally here! We will definitely make the best dumplings today!

Xiao Ming: Haha, of course! I've heard that your dumpling making is top-notch, and I can't wait to try it!

Cheng Daodao: Then you just wait, I am a family heirloom dumpling recipe, I guarantee that you will not be satisfied with it!

(The two began to make dumplings, chatting as they made them.)

Xiao Ming: The winter of the 60s was really cold, but there are such hot dumplings, which can be regarded as a kind of warmth!

Cheng Daodao: Yes, making dumplings was also one of my favorite activities when I was a child. The family gathered around and had a good time.

Xiao Ming: (asks curiously) Cheng Daodao, what kind of dumplings did you wrap when you were a child?

Cheng Daodao: Well, our family was not very wealthy at that time, so we often wrapped some simple and delicious fillings, such as cabbage and pork filling, leek egg filling, and occasionally some sweet dumplings filled with red bean paste.

Xiao Ming: Sounds good! My family often wraps leek egg filling, which is really nostalgic.

Cheng Daodao: No problem, let's wrap some leek egg stuffing today to reminisce about the taste of childhood!

(The two continue to make dumplings, making plates of tempting dumplings.)

Xiao Ming: (while wrapping up) Cheng Daodao, you must have missed the time when your family made dumplings together when you were a child, right?

Cheng Daodao: Yes, although the material conditions were simple at that time, the scene of the family getting together to make dumplings is still fresh in my memory. Now I can only miss it, my family is scattered in different cities.

Xiao Ming: The time spent together with the family is indeed precious. Okay, we've got our dumplings wrapped, let's cook them!

(The two were busy together, and soon a pot of fragrant dumplings was cooked.)

Cheng Daodao: Don't talk nonsense, come, let's go!

(The two chatted while eating, laughing constantly.)

Xiao Ming: (Deliciously said) Cheng Daodao, your dumplings are so delicious! It's better than the dumpling restaurants outside!

Cheng Daodao: Haha, thank you for the compliment! In fact, the most important thing in making dumplings is to be attentive and enthusiastic, so that the dumplings can have the taste of home.

Xiao Ming: You're right. This dumpling really reminded me of the taste and warmth of my childhood.

Cheng Daodao: Me too, the time of making dumplings always makes me feel full of happiness.

(The story ends with laughter.) Cheng Daodao and Xiao Ming spent an unforgettable time making dumplings together, which made them cherish the moment of friendship and family reunion even more.

(After eating the dumplings, the two sit at the dining table and drink warm tea and continue chatting.)

Xiao Ming: It's so delicious! Cheng Daodao, your dumpling skills are really amazing, I can't eat enough.

Cheng Daodao: Haha, just eat happily! Next time, I can also teach you some tips for making dumplings.

Xiao Ming: Great, I must learn from you Xi! However, how did you learn to make dumplings? Did you learn it from your family?

Cheng Daodao: Well, indeed. When I was a child, every Chinese New Year, the whole family would get together to make dumplings. My favorite is the one I wrap with my grandmother, she is very good at making dumplings with thin and firm wrappers.

Xiao Ming: It seems that grandma is your dumpling-making enlightenment teacher! I also learned it from my mother when I was a child, but unfortunately the dumplings I made were still not as good as yours.

Cheng Daodao: It is not difficult to make dumplings, the key is to practice more Xi, and slowly become proficient. Moreover, making dumplings is not about the perfect shape, but more importantly, about the emotional investment.

Xiao Ming: Well, I'll keep trying! By the way, Cheng Daodao, did you have any interesting stories when you made dumplings when you were a child?

Cheng Daodao: There's one that's quite interesting. I remember when I was about 10 years old, I mischievously added some chocolate to my dumplings while making them.

Xiao Ming: Chocolate? Inside the dumplings? That sounds like a strange combination.

Cheng Daodao: Haha, it's really strange. I was thinking about making a joke, but I didn't expect that the chocolate melted and gave the dumplings a sweet taste. The family was surprised and amused when they ate it, although it was a little weird, but it was also an unforgettable memory.

Xiao Ming: It seems that you already have a talent for innovation! Chocolate dumplings, I really want to taste what it tastes like.

Cheng Daodao: Haha, that was just a fool of me when I was a child. The current dumplings are still honest, and the egg filling with leeks is the best.

(The two continue to talk and laugh, reminiscing about their childhood.)

Xiao Ming: Thank you so much for inviting me to make dumplings, it's a great time.

Cheng Daodao: You're welcome, I'm glad we were able to spend this time together. In fact, sometimes simple activities can make people feel happy.

Xiao Ming: You're right. We are all living in such a fast pace that we have little time to reminisce about these simple and warm moments.

Cheng Daodao: Yes, so we have to learn to slow down in the busyness and enjoy the little joys in life.

Xiao Ming: That's right! Well, I'll definitely come back to you next time I make dumplings!

Cheng Daodao: Then it's an agreement! Next time, we can also try to wrap dumplings with other flavors, such as dumplings, wontons, etc.

(The two continue to chat, enjoying the warmth until it gets dark.) Their friendship was deepened by the good times of making dumplings.

(After a while, it's winter again.) Cheng Daodao and Xiao Ming gathered again in the kitchen of Cheng's house, ready to make dumplings again.

Cheng Daodao: Welcome, Xiao Ming! It's time to make dumplings again, how about we try to make some different flavors this time?

Xiao Ming: Great, I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time! What flavor of dumplings are we going to make?

Cheng Daodao: I want to try to wrap some seafood dumplings, such as shrimp filling, fish filling, and some vegetables, which should be delicious.

Xiao Ming: Sounds so tempting! I also want to try vegetarian dumplings, such as spinach and tofu filling, shiitake mushroom and carrot filling.

Cheng Daodao: Good idea! Let's pack a flavor each, then taste it together and see who has the best flavor!

(The two of them excitedly start making dumplings, each with a different filling.)

Xiao Ming: Cheng Daodao, can the dumpling-making skills taught to you by your grandmother when you were a child still work? Ha ha!

Cheng Daodao: Of course it works! Grandma's dumpling-making skills are unbeatable, and I inherited her tradition, so I must have made them well!
