I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

After hearing what Song Zhoubai said, Wen Shutang fell silent. She stroked her chin and began to think in her mind.

The three children grew up very fast and would definitely need their own rooms in the future. She and Xiao Yizhuo would probably still live in the same house, so a kitchen and a small warehouse would definitely be necessary. And you never know when guests might come, so a guest room would also be necessary. In addition, there was perfume processing, so a workshop would probably be needed.

The other three children are also of school age, especially Xiao Ze, whose study room needs to be prepared. There are also some miscellaneous things like Wen Shutang that have not been counted for the time being.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that she still needs to buy a large mansion. The silver she has left should be enough for five or six hundred taels.

She had an idea in her mind, but she still had to tell Xiao Yizhuo about such a big thing as buying a house.

Wen Shutang turned his head and looked towards Xiao Yizhuo.

Xiao Yizhuo had been secretly paying attention to the situation on their side, and naturally heard what Song Zhoubai had just said. He turned his head to look as if he sensed Wen Shutang's gaze.

The two looked at each other, and after a moment, Xiao Yizhuo retracted his gaze and said in a light voice: "There are many children in the family, so a larger mansion is indeed more suitable."

Hearing Xiao Yizhuo say this, Wen Shutang made the decision immediately.

"Okay, then let's find some time to go to the town and if Master Song is free, please help keep an eye out for any suitable mansions."

Song Zhoubai nodded: "Of course, I know a few friends, you can go and see them anytime."

Wen Shutang became inexplicably excited at the thought of buying a house here.

"Then let's go after lunch. I guess the remaining snow on the road will have been cleared by then."

Song Zhoubai naturally had no objection. If he went back now, it would be freezing cold, so it would be better to wait until after noon.

The sun was high in the sky. Wen Shutang exchanged a few words with Song Zhoubai before going to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Song Zhoubai is a guest, so he can't just have a simple lunch. He has to cook a few dishes.

She found the lamb chops she had bought in town a few days ago and called Xiao Yizhuo to move the small stove out of the warehouse.

The last time she was cleaning her room, she suddenly discovered an iron stove similar to a barbecue grill in the corner of the small warehouse. She had always wanted to try barbecue in the yard. Song Zhoubai happened to be there today, so she simply took it out and used it.

Xiao Yizhuo didn't understand what she wanted this iron stove for. Originally, it was used to keep warm in the house, but because the cover to prevent smoke from coming out was lost, he threw it into the small storage room and it gathered dust.

Wen Shutang washed the lamb chops but did not cut them into small pieces. He just divided them into long strips and placed them aside. He poured some seasonings and began to marinate the meat. While waiting, Wen Shutang picked some vegetables from the space and planned to grill them together.

After all the ingredients were prepared, Wen Shutang took the plates outside and started to light the stove.

Xiao Yizhuo had just cleaned the stove in advance and could be used directly. There was no iron rack on the stove, which made Wen Shutang a little troubled, after all, the ingredients could not come into direct contact with the stove.

She went to the small warehouse to find a piece of wire and a few bamboo sticks, and used the wire to fix the lamb chops on the stove. This way, they could be roasted by the flames at the bottom and could also be turned over at any time.

Wen Shutang clapped his hands, very satisfied with his masterpiece. He then skewered the vegetables and put them aside for later use.

Song Zhoubai and the three children stood beside the stove, and everyone was curious about what Wen Shutang was doing.

"Can it be cooked like this?" Song Zhoubai couldn't help but ask. He usually ate delicacies from land and sea in restaurants, and this was the first time he saw such a simple cooking method.

Wen Shutang glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely taste good."

Just kidding, nowadays, eating barbecue costs hundreds of dollars each.

Xiao Yizhuo also came over to take a look. He had seen this cooking method before. It turned out that this was how meat was roasted over fire when hunting in the mountains.

He frowned. Isn't this a simple way of eating that only people who live outdoors would choose? Why did she suddenly think of cooking like this?

Xiao Ye tilted his head with curiosity in his eyes. He found that Wen Shutang could always come up with many new things every time.

Xiao Wan and Xiao Ze were also a little confused about Wen Shutang's behavior.

Wen Shutang moved a small stool and sat in front of the iron stove and began to grill the meat attentively. The other people also stopped talking and stared at the lamb chops hanging on the stove.

The flame in the stove burned brighter and brighter, and soon a scent of meat wafted out of the stove, impacting everyone's taste buds.

Xiao Ye couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "It smells so good."

After hearing this, Wen Shutang just curled the corners of his lips and didn't say anything. Lamb chops are best when they are roasted until they are a little dry.

When Song Zhoubai smelled the scent, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and felt anticipation in his heart.

Not long after, Wen Shutang took the lamb chops off the stove, saw the tempting color on them, turned around and shared the roasted lamb chops with everyone.

"Okay, you can eat."

Everyone was given a whole lamb chop. Xiao Ye was the first to pinch the wire and carefully take a bite of the lamb that had been roasted until it was greasy.

His mouth was full of meaty aroma and a solid texture. It tasted better than anything he had eaten before.

Xiao Ye couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Delicious!"

Seeing Xiao Ye's excitement, Song Zhoubai's appetite also whetted. After taking a bite, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He stared blankly at the golden mutton in his hand and couldn't help swallowing.

He had never eaten such delicious mutton before. He didn't know how she prepared it so that there was not even the slightest mutton smell.

Wen Shutang raised his eyebrows at the expressions of the two people. It turned out that barbecue would conquer everyone.

Xiao Yizhuo felt that the two people's performance was too exaggerated. He used to eat all the time in the mountains, but he didn't think the food was very delicious, it just filled his stomach.

He felt nothing in his heart as he took a bite of the mutton expressionlessly. The skin was crispy on the outside, but the mutton inside still retained its fresh juices. The two textures mixed together were indescribably delicious.

Xiao Yizhuo was stunned for a moment. It was so delicious. He looked at Wen Shutang with a bit of surprise.

Wen Shutang was enjoying his portion of delicious food. When he came to his senses, he found that everyone had finished eating. In particular, Song Zhoubai was staring at the lamb chops roasting in the stove. It was obvious that he was not satisfied yet.

The young master, who was used to eating delicacies from land and sea on weekdays, was now staring at the iron stove eagerly for the lamb chops.

Thinking of this contrast, Wen Shutang couldn't help laughing and put the remaining lamb chops and vegetables on the stove.

After the meal, everyone was very full. Even Xiao Ze, who usually had a normal appetite, ate several lamb chops.
