The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

Time always flies when you have something to do.

Before we knew it, the whole afternoon had slipped away amidst the drumbeats and laughter, and the doro's live rehearsal came to an end one after another.

Playing the drum set is physically demanding, and Donas was so exhausted that she was covered in sweat, her downy hair soaked from head to toe.

"hu~hu~"

Tired, but it was so much fun! It's so enjoyable to entertain myself!
His mental state remains excited.
Lying flat on the sofa, Donas turned on the TV, her tail standing upright and wagging from side to side.

In winter, the nights are long and the days are short, and the sun is setting.

The living room was pitch black except for the flickering light from the television. The changing images were a bit glaring. Donas squinted and breathed heavily as she yelled, "Iron Lump, go turn on the living room light, and while you're at it, roast a sweet potato, a potato, and an ear of corn for this marshal..."

"Bake one more, Runji!"

Thinking that Ohrunji could also be grilled, Donas lowered her voice and hesitated slightly whether she should give it a try.

Will roasted Oorunji taste bad?

Give it a try!

Guessing what roasted Oorunji might taste like, Donas rolled over and lay on her back, letting the sweat on her back soak all the sofa cushions evenly.

"hey-hey."

Donas suddenly laughed, her eyes curving into crescents and her eyebrows slightly raised.

"We want the sofa to have the signature scent of Doro!"

"The sofa is the territory of the Doro!"

Muttering to herself, Donas strained her ears to listen to the sounds of Iron Dumbbell moving towards the kitchen after the light was turned on, and then she vaguely heard rustling conversations coming from the second floor that gradually became clearer.

Pina: "We're amazing! We can actually earn tens of dollars just by livestreaming our daily lives!"

Doro: "That's right~. I earned twenty-eight yuan! If I had had the chance to earn a little money through live streaming before, I wouldn't have gone hungry..."

Dorothy: "The hard times are over~ Dorothy, don't keep reminiscing about the hard times, live in the present! The winter solstice is in a few days, and we eat dumplings on the winter solstice. How about we go out and have some dumplings today to warm up?"

Eating dumplings on the Winter Solstice is a traditional custom in northern China.

The last time I ate dumplings was when I lived in a small town in the south of the city, and we used dragon meat as dumpling filling.

There's no dragon meat to eat lately.
Just thinking about making a steaming bowl of dumplings makes my mouth water.

Just then, Dorothy reached the top of the stairs and wiped the corner of her mouth.

"Ready—jump!"

Aiming at the stair railing, Dorothy first crouched down and then jumped, using her little paws and short legs to grab the handrail and slide down.

A few seconds,
Arrived on the first floor smoothly.
Dorothy climbed down the railing with great skill.

"If you keep doing this, what if you fall and hurt yourself?" Doro reminded him with great concern.

Dorothy adjusted her glasses and replied confidently, "Don't worry! I know my limits, I won't fall and hurt myself, hee hee! Don't you want to give it a try?"

Dorothy was slightly taller than her.
Its short legs are also two centimeters longer than Dorothy's.

Going down the stairs was not difficult for Doraemon.

For safety's sake, Doro held onto the handrail and slowly moved downstairs, making sure each step was firm before continuing.

Similarly, Pina followed behind Doraemon, walking slowly and unhurriedly.

Hearing that we were going out to eat dumplings,

Donas quickly jumped up and ran to the foyer to get dressed.

By the time Pina came down the stairs, Donas had already wrapped herself up completely and returned to the living room to urge everyone to go out together.

"Which street nearby has a dumpling restaurant?"

With her gaze fixed on Dorothy, her big eyes blinking, Donas said expectantly, "I want to eat big dumplings with chive and egg filling!"

"It would be even better if there were dumplings with black sesame filling!"

Recalling the sesame glutinous rice balls she ate at Qingcheng Medical University at the end of last winter, Donas felt that dumplings and glutinous rice balls were not much different; both were made by wrapping fillings in white flour and then boiling them in water.

Since the cooking methods are the same,

The filling can certainly be compared to that.
The fragrant, savory-sweet black sesame filling gives you energy after eating it!

Just as Donas voiced her idea, a "ding" sounded in the kitchen, followed by the distinctive aroma of roasted oranges.

It smells sour with a hint of sweetness, which is hard to describe in detail.

but,

This is a scent that doro fans love!

Doro was curious about what Iron Dumbbell was cooking, so he went straight over to watch, his nose twitching as he tried to identify the ingredients by their smell.

"Is it... Oh, Runji?"

Having guessed the correct answer, Doraemon scratched his head in confusion.

It was something it never imagined that Orunji could be cooked using the "roasting" method.

Dorothy was also hungry. Smelling the aroma of the baked Orenji, she couldn't bear to leave. Driven purely by instinct, she went to the kitchen, tilting her head back and staring intently at the plate, her eyes fixed on the steaming Orenji.

The freshly baked oranges were too hot.

The iron dumbbell refused to be touched by any of the doro.

The plate was held in the gripper of the iron dumbbell and floated high above.

After waiting half a minute for the roasted oranges to cool down, Iron Dumbbell placed the plate on the coffee table in the living room.

The doro followed closely behind Iron Dumbbell, like ducklings following their mother. The three doro formed a neat and orderly line.

Finally, after Iron Dumbbell put down his plate, Donas started eating first, her little paws tentatively poking at Oh Runji.

The roasted oranges sizzled and released their juice.
The abundant juice releases a richer orange aroma.

After confirming that Runji wasn't hot, Donasi broke off a small piece of orange and swallowed it without really understanding what was happening.

Smacking her lips, having eaten too quickly to savor the flavor, Donas broke off another small piece of orange.

If they don't eat them soon, Donas will devour them all, so Dorothy pounces over and breaks off a big piece to taste.

Only one-third of the orange segments remained.

Donas didn't try to take it again.

Dorothy took a half step back and sat down on the sofa.

They gave the last of the roasted Orunji to Doraemon.

Looking at his companions, then at Ohrunji, Doraemon turned to look at Pina in front of the French windows on the balcony.

Considering that Pina hadn't eaten yet, Doro waved at her, trying to get her attention. However, Pina didn't notice at all; she was completely unaware that Doro was calling to her and continued to observe the situation outside the villa with her back to the living room.

Seeing Pina lost in thought,

Doraemon picked up the roasted meat and skipped over.
It proactively divided the remaining one-third of the roasted meat in two and handed it to Pina.

"Pina~"

Raising her voice slightly, Dorothy said with a grin, "Let's share the rest of the roasted 'Orunji'! Dorothy and Donas tried it, and it was delicious..."

As Doraemon was speaking, Pina shook her head and waved her hand, indicating that she did not want to eat roasted oranges.

Pina does not belong to the Doro race.
It doesn't have a strong passion for oranges.

Eating too much of it can make you feel tired of it.

Moreover, a familiar figure seemed to be getting closer and closer outside the window, and Pina wondered if she was seeing things.

"It looks like Shuchu and Lemi? What's that box she's carrying? It doesn't look big, but it seems really heavy." Pina pressed her forehead against the glass of the French window, her two little paws also pressing against the glass, and asked Doro without looking to the side.

Doro then noticed someone approaching from outside the villa.

It really is Miss Shu Chu!
And Remy!

The man (Huang Musong) said he wouldn't be going home tonight, and Duoluo was prepared to sleep with his friends. He never expected that Sister Shuchu would come.

“Great~”

"Let's go help Sister Shuchu..."

Excitedly running towards the foyer, Duo Luo opened the door ahead of time, put on her down jacket and faced the cold wind, eagerly anticipating Shu Chu stepping into her view.

Panting heavily, carrying the packing boxes on her back, Shu Chu stopped outside the villa's courtyard, unable to take the last few meters.

Following Mikasa's instructions on unloading procedures,
Shu Chu straightened her back, assumed a horse stance, and squatted down.

Wait until the packing box is firmly on the ground before removing the backpack shoulder straps.

"Boom."
The box made a dull sound when it hit the floor tiles, indicating it weighed at least 50 kilograms!
Moving from an appliance market two kilometers away to the residential area without asking for help from anyone was exhausting, even for an adult male.

Shu Chu, on the other hand, is a little over 1.6 meters tall with thin arms and legs.

Fortunately, she had previously eaten dragon meat to improve her constitution and, with Doraemon's help, was cured of her illness.

Otherwise, I really couldn't handle such heavy physical labor.

Dorothy is very curious. When she learned that Shu Chu had returned home, she followed Dorothy to the door to greet her.

I was mainly curious about what was inside the big box.
It looks light, but it's actually quite heavy. That's strange!

"Buzz~"

Standing at the doorway, Dorothy held up a freshly roasted ear of corn in one hand and pointed to the packing crates outside the villa with the other. Hearing someone call her name, Hercules emerged from his burrow and looked towards Dorothy.

"Buzz!"

Having understood Dorothy's meaning, Heracles first weighed the rate of return and, finding it feasible, went to the gate of the yard to move the boxes.

The villa is two stories high, or more accurately, 2.5 stories.

The bottom half level is an underground parking garage.

From the courtyard to the first floor, the dozen or so steps may not seem high, but it's difficult to move heavy objects weighing dozens of kilograms.

Shu Chu definitely can't move it up.

Heracross did it with almost no effort.

After helping to move the heavy objects, Heracross snatched the roasted corn from Dorothy's hand, and without looking back, crawled into the insect nest, ate, and went to sleep.

Moving things consumes about 1/10 of the energy provided by a corn cob, but you earn a net profit of 9/10 of a corn cob.

Although Heracross had a low IQ, he was more calculating than anyone else when it came to work, and he would never do anything that would lose money.

No need to carry heavy objects yourself anymore.
Shu Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked unsteadily, supporting herself against the wall, into the villa, and closed the door.

As soon as she entered the lobby, Shu Chu didn't even have time to take off her down jacket. She collapsed onto the shoe-changing area, panting heavily, her chest heaving violently.

Realizing that Sister Shu Chu was very tired
Doro first took off his own clothes, and then helped her take off her down jacket.

Dorothy ran to the kitchen to pour juice and carefully brought it to Shu Chu.

Donas took off her shoes and put them on for her;
Pina went to the coffee table and found a Snickers bar in the snack basket.

Snickers, sweep away hunger, be yourself.

After eating an energy bar, Shu Chu gradually regained her strength and worked with the Doro members to unpack the box.

"No, don't break it. We have to keep it intact!"

Worried that Donas might rashly tear up the box, Doro quickly hugged its waist and reminded it, "A big, intact box can sell for two dollars, but if it's torn into cardboard, it'll only sell for fifty cents. That one dollar and fifty cents difference can buy an Orunji."

Doro's idea was to save money wherever possible.

Even though we are now living a wealthy life, we should always remember the hard times we had when one dollar and fifty cents was enough for a meal.

Eggs cost 0.7 yuan, noodles cost 0.5 yuan, and leafy greens cost 0.3 yuan.

One dollar and fifty cents can buy a large orange.

It could also be a small bowl of fairly nutritious plain noodles.

Doro stopped her from tearing the box. Donas shook her head and sighed helplessly, finding it troublesome but having to admit that thrift and frugality were virtues.

Thus, with the packaging box intact, the Doro members removed the barrel-shaped appliances inside.

"What the hell is this?"

"It looks a bit like a robot vacuum cleaner, but I don't think so." Pina glanced at the large appliances and then turned to look at the iron dumbbells.

Sweep, mop, fold clothes...

Iron dumbbells are sufficient for most household chores.

If Shu Chu buys a robot vacuum cleaner, wouldn't that be a waste of money? Wouldn't it just make Tie Dumbbell lazy and unwilling to work?

Iron dumbbells consume 3 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day.

Just eating without moving won't do!
Pina plans to persuade Shuchu to return the robot vacuum cleaner.

However, Dorothy spoke first, reading out the functions of the large appliances from the instruction manual.

"A filling mixer?"

"A pasta-making machine?"

The integrated machine is divided into two parts. Dorothy first says the name of the lower part, and then the upper part.

Doraemon and Donas aren't very bright.
They didn't understand what it meant.

Pina was slightly smarter, but her limited experience prevented her from understanding either.

At the same time, Lemi crawled out of Shu Chu's arms and jumped onto the large machine.

Looking down at the Doro, Remy, stroking his mustache, said smugly, "You guys don't understand, do you? This thing is used to make fillings for dumplings, but of course it can also be used to make steamed buns, pies, wontons, and..."

"In short, it can perfectly handle any kind of pasta dish."

"Eighteen hundred yuan is a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth the money!"

Bend over, bend over, jump.

Lemi jumped from the top of the machine onto Pina's head.

Gently tug at Pina's hair,

Lemi controlled the machine buttons while ensuring she didn't hurt it.

"This is the power button, and that's the options button."

"Of course, the machine won't start unless it's plugged in."

"Let's move the big machine to the kitchen and use the ingredients Shu Chu bought to make dumpling filling. We'll have dumplings tonight!"

As she spoke, Lemi jumped back into Shu Chu's arms and pulled out beef, pork, lamb, scallions, green peppers, and so on...

The bags of various colors were filled with Shu Chu's thermal underwear.

This tiny set of underwear is like Doraemon's magic pocket, filled with ingredients.

Doro scratched his head, chuckling sheepishly, "No wonder Sister Shu Chu's movements seemed particularly heavy; it turns out she was hiding a lot of things in her clothes!"

"Hmm! The machine isn't too heavy, it should weigh less than thirty pounds." Donas pushed the machine hard, slowly moving it forward to prevent it from tipping over.

Dorothy immediately rushed over to help.

It moves in front of the machine and pushes in the opposite direction.

This will indeed cause trouble for Donas, but it will ensure that the machine is subjected to even force and avoids tipping over and breaking.

Shortly after, the machine was brought into the kitchen, plugged in, and started.

With the help of Shu Chu and Lai Mi, the minced meat was prepared in less than half an hour.

The dough is also kneaded by machine, and it needs to rest for an hour.

Two hours later, at 7 p.m., the steaming hot dumplings were ready!

One dumpling after another,
The shapes are almost identical.

They lay horizontally on the plate like silver ingots, steaming gently.

Sitting at the dining table, watching Shu Chu serve dumplings, Duo Luo and Pina were so surprised they couldn't close their mouths, their chins drooping into an exaggerated V shape.

"This……"

"real or fake?"

Her little face seemed to scream "This is impossible!"
These two little guys are truly unbelievable!

Dumplings, made of white flour wrapped around fillings, are a food that almost everyone loves.

Dumplings are delicious but difficult to make.
At least 30% of the price of dumplings at takeout restaurants is labor cost!
50% profit, 20% cost, 30% labor.

The cost includes rice, flour, meat filling, and store rent.

After deducting store fees, the actual cost of 10 yuan dumplings is only 1 yuan, and a pound of dumplings can be sold for 20 yuan to make a profit of 18 yuan.

Now, dumpling-making machines eliminate the need for labor and rent; you can make dumplings for your own family without even calculating profits.

"Well……"

"Can you really get a delicious meal of dumplings for just one yuan?"

As he counted his expenses on his fingers, Doro became increasingly incredulous, always thinking it was impractical.

But that's just how it is!
Pina calculated the price to be {one meal of dumplings = 1.3 yuan}.

Half a pound of meat-filled dumplings can fill you up for just one yuan and thirty cents.

"Yo~"

“With this big machine making dumplings, why don’t we set up a stall in the nearby neighborhood and sell dumplings to make money?” Pina blurted out, having come up with a great idea, and waited for the Doro’s opinion.

Dorothy and Doraemon had set up stalls back in early summer.

They were selling spicy chicken noodles back then.

They can make money, just not much.

After they got an orchard, they stopped setting up stalls.

How can the profits from selling spicy chicken noodles at a street stall compare to those from Runji Orchard?

Selling dumplings could be very profitable, it's definitely a worthwhile business opportunity.

Dorothy, look at Dorothy;
Dorothy glanced at Donas;
Donas took a look at Doraemon.

The three little ones hit it off immediately at Pina's suggestion!
Perfect timing! The day after tomorrow is the Winter Solstice, the perfect time to set up a dumpling stall. (End of Chapter)
