Chapter 374 I Made It!
Olivia tentatively walked over and took a dumpling skin, which had been flattened before she imitated Brian… First, I do this. Second…
Eh, what’s next then? What should I do next?
Eugene felt amused while he watched her—she was looking intently at Brian with her neck craned forward and a tense body.
Even though she was trying to learn from Brain in all seriousness, the dumpling’s filling was leaking before she could even finish wrapping it.
Hence, he stopped making the dough and called Olivia over with a smile on his face. “Come here, I’ll teach you.”
Surprisingly, Olivia walked over in humility and took another piece of dough.
In the next ten minutes, the dining room only consisted of their conversation.
Eugene said, “Be gentler. You shouldn’t be forceful with it. Once you apply too much force, the fillings will leak out. Just hold them in your hand gently and pinch it with the other hand.”
Olivia’s voice was rather meek. “It’s not that. After I pinch it, the fillings immediately leak out. My God, this is arduous, even more difficult than designing clothes.”
He was actually quite patient. “Don’t get anxious. Everyone’s first time is the same. I also took a long time to learn this. Here, at this spot, you have to hold it like this. Otherwise, the fillings will come out.”
Olivia was slightly doubtful. “You also learned for a long time?”
Eugene replied with gritted teeth. “Yeah. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Brian.”
In order to spare Olivia, the prodigy designer, her feelings, Brian followed Eugene and gritted his teeth, replying, “Yes, he is quite a slow learner indeed. He took half a month to learn this.”
Eugene was speechless upon hearing that. Do you have to take this opportunity to throw shade at me?
While looking at North, who seemed to be competing with his mother, Brian asked, “Do you want me to teach you?”
Initially, North didn’t want to be taught by him. However, he also wanted to give it a shot and see whether it was indeed so difficult. Hence, he replied, “Sure.”
In the end, North quickly produced a dumpling under Brian’s guidance.
It was not exactly aesthetically pleasing, but was noticeably a dumpling—at least it was much better than Olivia’s lump of elongated dough.
Upon looking at the few long dumplings in front of him, North was quite proud of himself. “Mommy, you don’t have to learn this anymore. After I learn this, I’ll make dumplings for you!”
Olivia was speechless upon hearing that. It’s so sad and frustrating!
As she looked at the dumpling, which still didn’t bear its shape, in her hand, she glanced at Eugene resentfully.
Eugene immediately tried to suppress his smile. “Don’t worry, we’ll do it again. It’s a mere coincidence that North is able to make a dumpling. I’m sure the next one he makes won’t be so good anymore.”
With that, he threw a meaningful glance at North, who understood what was being said immediately.
When North was making his next dumpling, he tried to elongate it.
While doing so, he was complaining in her heart, Mommy is also a prodigy, but how the hell does she elongate a round dumpling?
In order to preserve Olivia’s pride, a few long dumplings appeared in front of North’s plate in no time.
Upon seeing that, Olivia felt much relieved and she became less anxious. Finally, with Eugene’s help, she finally produced the first dumpling that finally resembled one.
When she placed it on her plate, she couldn’t withhold the excitement within her any longer and yelled enthusiastically, “Wow! Look at this! Isn’t this nice?”
He caressed her head. “Yes, it’s beautiful indeed.”
Brian’s face had a gentle aura to it. He liked the beautiful and strong Olivia when she was in front of the audience.
However, her excited squeal made her even cuter when she finished her first dumpling.
Perhaps it was precisely because of Olivia’s behavior that didn’t make people as if she was arrogant and aloof. Hence, it was easy for her to be close to her. It’s just a pity that my elder brother knew her earlier than me.
Meanwhile, North looked at his mother with hesitance, wondering whether he needed to elongate the additional dumplings that he was making.
