Ye Hao was training hard in the army, while Gu Yi was also quite busy at home.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival.
It had been a month since Gu Yi returned, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, dumplings had to be made here.
Although they were in the south, Gu Yi's family usually made sweet dumplings with red beans and dates, or plain ones. This year, Gu Yi wanted to try making meat dumplings.
A couple of days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Yi took a trip to the county.
He settled the payment for the bean sprouts with Li Gang and also bought a few pounds of pork belly to bring back.
After returning home, he soaked the glutinous rice and cut the pork belly into small pieces, using salt, sugar, and five-spice powder. Due to the lack of light soy sauce, he used a bit of dark soy sauce and marinated the meat overnight.
