After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Under the candlelight, Li Yuanzhi's eyes were filled with the reflection of Jiang Xiaohua.

She is laughing, she is anxious, she can't help laughing...

No matter which one, it is his favorite look.

Seeing Xiao Miaomiao lying on Wulong's body.

Jiang Xiaohua laughed out loud, "Miaomiao, be careful when you fall!"

After she laughed, she said, "You said our little girl is really pretty."

"Oolong has lost his temper because of her torment."

Jiang Xiaohua said, turning to Li Yuanzhi naturally.

She met his eyes, which were staring at her with a hidden smile.

Their eyes met, Jiang Xiaohua's smile gradually froze, and her words disappeared.

The two just stood face to face in silence.

There were children laughing all around.

It was Li Yuanzhi who broke the silence and asked, "What's for dinner tonight? I'm here to help."

Jiang Xiaohua woke up and said, "Oh, let's eat grilled steamed buns to nourish your stomach."

Because the children go to school every morning and have to have breakfast on time.

Jiang Xiaohua prepared some convenient food in advance.

Yesterday she steamed two large pots of steamed buns.

It's been cold recently, so the steamed buns won't go bad if they are kept in the kitchen cupboard for seven or eight days.

Get up early and grab some steamed buns, or steam them in a pot to heat them up and eat them with side dishes.

Either sliced ​​and fried in soybean oil until golden and crispy, sprinkled with a little fine salt.

Make another pot of porridge and it becomes a simple and quick breakfast.

In more urgent situations, you can break the cold steamed buns into pieces and soak them in hot sugar water to eat.

Jiang Xiaohua went to the kitchen and took ten large steamed buns and gave them to Li Yuanzhi.

"You know how to bake, right?"

Li Yuanzhi smiled and nodded, "Put it on the edge of the charcoal stove, not too close to the fire."

"Rely on the heat and bake it slowly. You have to keep an eye on it and turn it over while baking."

Jiang Xiaohua smiled, "Not bad."

"Even if no one cooks for you in the future, at least you won't be hungry like in the past."

Li Yuanzhi returned to the main room with the steamed buns.

He placed the buns one by one in a circle around the charcoal stove.

Then he took a book and sat down next to it.

Li Yuanzhi looked at those fat and white steamed buns and felt a little funny.

Half a year ago, he probably wouldn't have believed that he could do such a thing as a cook.

But now, he can bake steamed buns, knead dough, and occasionally cut pickles (although the cuts are thick and rotten).

Not to mention that they also have skills such as cleaning, taking care of children, working as a coolie, helping to negotiate prices, etc.

Thinking about it this way, it really feels like a lifetime ago.

Jiang Xiaohua rinsed the chopping board in the kitchen.

Although dinner is simple, it must be nutritious.

More than four children are growing.

Her current eighteen-year-old body is not well developed due to long-term malnutrition.

Although the height is basically hopeless, the weight and muscle mass can still be made up through acquisition.

Jiang Xiaohua took a large piece of pork tenderloin bought in the morning.

She moved the knife quickly and had a bowl of shredded pork cut in a blink of an eye.

Mix a few drops of soju, three slices of ginger, a little salt, and a few drops of soy sauce until marinated.

Then comes rice washing.

Jiang Xiaohua also washed a small handful of black beans and threw them in.

Put the rice and beans into a large casserole, add enough water to make porridge and soak them.

But the stove was still cold and there was no fire.

Jiang Xiaohua picked up the double-eared casserole and walked out of the kitchen to the main room.

In winter, a charcoal stove is used to heat the house, and the fire is kept burning all day long.

So as long as there was no cooking fume, she would cook it in the house.

This saves you the trouble of burning firewood.

Secondly, firewood in the city is bought with money, which saves family expenses.

The skin of the steamed buns baked by the charcoal stove has turned slightly yellow.

Li Yuanzhi heard the commotion and already gave way to his position in advance.

Jiang Xiaohua walked over quickly and put the casserole on the charcoal fire.

"Li Yuanzhi, please watch carefully and stop throwing blame."

Li Yuanzhi was quite experienced, "Just open the lid when the water is boiling. I understand."

Jiang Xiaohua returned to the kitchen and cut up a large bowl of shredded cabbage and a small handful of green onions.

He cleared the chopping board and returned with two dishes and one shredded pork.

Cabbage can withstand cooking. Jiang Xiaohua first pours shredded cabbage into the pot.

Wait for the water in the pot to boil, then cover the lid and bring to a simmer.

This allows the sweetness of the cabbage to be blended into the rice porridge.

When the porridge in the pot becomes slightly sticky, the toasted steamed buns also exude an attractive wheat aroma.

At this time, the shredded pork is almost colored and tasty.

There are benefits to eating ginger in winter. Jiang Xiaohua did not pick out the ginger slices, but poured the whole bowl into the porridge.

Then use bamboo chopsticks to quickly scatter them.

The tenderloin is cut into very fine shreds, scattered evenly in the boiling rice porridge, and cooked immediately after blanching.

Jiang Xiaohua stirred the rice porridge, turned to the window and shouted: "It's time to eat!"

The four small bean curds, oolongs, and red bean buns are still fun to play with.

But there is nothing more tempting than Jiang Xiaohua calling for dinner.

They rushed back and hurriedly poured water to wash their hands.

Liu Guang washed his hands, turned his head and asked, "Mom, what did you cook? It smells so good!"

Finally, Jiang Xiaohua added salt to taste, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and said, "Toast the steamed buns."

"Salty porridge with shredded pork and cabbage."

The four little ones only washed their hands and knew how to use chopsticks and bowls without any help from adults.

Help with porridge and steamed buns.

At this stage, Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi can sit back and wait for their meal.

After eating, the children have to work together to wash pots and dishes.

That's how it is in this home.

Everyone, big or small, has a share in housework.

The shredded pork and cabbage porridge is delicious and sweet, and the grilled steamed buns are crispy and tender on the outside.

The whole family was immersed in cooking, a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of porridge, which made them feel hot all over.

Liu Guang finished his bowl of porridge and went to serve a second bowl.

He said happily, "My mother's cooking is the most delicious."

"Really?" Jiang Xiaohua asked with a smile.

Liu Guang's back stiffened. Oh no, he was eating so happily that he accidentally spoke out what was on his mind!

Now, that woman is going to be proud again!

But now that the matter has come to this, Liu Guang can't take back what he said.

He could only say truthfully, "Although the food made by the restaurant chef is more expensive and more luxurious."

"But I still prefer to eat what you cook."

Liu Yong, Liu Ming, and Xiao Miaomiao all nodded in agreement.

Jiang Xiaohua pretended to be narcissistic, "Well... this is probably what my mother smells like!"

Liu Guang couldn't help but draw a black line, he must restrain himself from now on!

If he praises this woman again, he will be a big fool!

After the meal, the four little beans went to work.

Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi were left to drink tea and eat snacks leisurely.

The gifts Jiang Yuanheng brought were rich.

A jar of fine green bamboo leaves and two packages of fruits, namely apples and pears.

There is also a big snack box.

Li Yuanzhi bit his snack and asked, "Your bottle of face cream uses Tremella fungus, Poria cocos, pearl powder, Angelica dahurica, etc. The cost is not low."

"Giving it to Jiang Yuanheng for free, is there any other reason besides the return gift?"

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said, "You are indeed my right-hand man."

"I do have other plans, but it can only be said that I made an impromptu decision when he showed up."
