"So that's how it's done, but why didn't anyone tell me?" Wang Shuxia said as she watched Gu Lingling washing the dandelions.
"They probably thought you already knew." Liu Yating replied.
No wonder the dandelions were so bitter when they ate them. After boiling in water, they need to be soaked in cold water for a while and then rinsed several times.
"Some people like to eat bitter foods, and the benefits are even greater," Gu Lingling explained with a smile.
They had dandelion egg dumplings for lunch at Liu Yating's house.
"How are your studies going?" Gu Lingling asked.
She came today to deliver dandelions and to check on Liu Yating's homework progress over the winter break.
"Of course, I've been studying every day, even on New Year's Day," Liu Yating said with a smile. "Now, the first thing my dad does when he comes home is ask about my studies, he's more concerned than when I used to go to school before."
