The wind was bitingly cold a few days ago, but today the sun is shining brightly and it is a good day.

Wen Shutang discovered that Xiao Yizhuo seemed a little hesitant to use force with his left hand when he was making a cage for the white rabbit, probably because of the wound on his back.

After Xiao Wan walked away with the white rabbit in her arms, Wen Shutang approached Xiao Yizhuo and asked.

"How's the wound?"

"It's okay, thank you for last night." Xiao Yizhuo raised his head and looked at her and said in a low voice.

Wen Shutang waved her hand and glanced at his shoulder. She soaked another pound of beans. She originally wanted to ask Xiao Yizhuo to help grind the beans, but now it seems that this is unlikely.

She had to think of another way, otherwise, with her small body, it would be difficult for her to finish the job in an entire afternoon.

While he was in a daze, Wen Shutang suddenly remembered that the last time he went to Aunt Sun's house, he seemed to have seen a donkey in the shack. If he could borrow it, it would probably make things a lot easier.

Thinking of this, Wen Shutang made a plan in his mind to go to Aunt Sun's house after lunch.

Wen Shutang took out the tofu that had been in the jar yesterday and cut it in half with a knife. She planned to use this piece of tofu to make two dishes.

The last time she was looking for white vinegar, she found a bowl of hot sauce in the cupboard. Today, she had all the ingredients and could make a dish of Mapo Tofu.

Wen Shutang chopped the pork into small cubes and the tofu into small equal pieces. He first put the tofu into the pot and blanch it. When it was almost cooked, he took it out and set it aside. When the oil in the pot was hot, he added the minced meat and stir-fried it until fragrant. Then he added the chili sauce and stir-fried it. Finally, he put in the blanched tofu. Suddenly, the whole kitchen was filled with fresh, fragrant and spicy aromas.

She squinted her eyes and smelled it. Hmm, it was indeed the familiar smell.

Soon the first dish was ready, and Wen Shutang sprinkled some chopped green onions on the plate as garnish.

She put the plate aside and covered it with gauze to prevent the food from cooling down too quickly. After finishing it, she turned around to make the second dish.

Wen Shutang took a cabbage from the space and added it to the pork belly he bought last time. Although it was a little damaged by Xiao Yizhuo, the remaining food should be enough for two meals.

She cut the cabbage, tofu and pork, put them into the pot after the oil was hot, added a bowl of water when they were almost cooked, then covered the pot and waited for a while, and a dish of pork and tofu was ready.

Wen Shutang came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and happened to meet Xiao Wan.

"Mom, let me help you serve the rice."

"Okay, be careful with the heat."

Xiao Wan nodded. Ever since Wen Shutang agreed to let her raise rabbits, she seemed not as afraid of Wen Shutang as before.

This was a good sign. Wen Shutang turned around, took the dishes to the table, put them down and wiped his hands.

"Let's eat."

Hearing Wen Shutang's voice, Xiao Ye came out from the pile of wood next to him, covered in dust. In the name of training the child, Xiao Yizhuo insisted on dragging Xiao Ye to help repair the chicken coop.

Wen Shutang couldn't help laughing when he saw how depressed they both looked.

"Go wash your hands first before eating, where's Aze?"

"Brother is still reading in the room." Xiao Ye's big eyes were glued to the two tempting dishes, but in the end, he was pulled by the collar to wash his hands by the expressionless Xiao Yizhuo.

Hearing this, Wen Shutang nodded and turned to go to Xiao Ze's room.

Ever since Xiao Ze learned that he could go to school, he has been staying in his room reading books every day, saying that he wanted to prepare for meeting the teacher in the future.

She knocked on the door and walked in only after getting Xiao Ze's permission.

"Let's eat first and take a rest."

Xiao Ze put down the book in his hand when he heard Wen Shutang's voice: "I'm not hungry yet, I'll eat later."

"You can't catch up on your homework in a short time. Eat first, and then read in the yard after dinner. Be careful not to damage your eyes by staying in the house." Wen Shutang said as he handed him the crutch placed beside the bed.

Xiao Ze pursed his lips and thought about it. Perhaps he felt that what Wen Shutang said made sense, so he took the crutch she handed over and got out of bed carefully.

The two of them walked out of the room together, just in time to see the other three already seated.

"Let's eat."

Everyone started eating only after Xiao Ze sat down.

Xiao Ye was the first to try the spicy Mapo Tofu. It was his first time eating something so spicy and he choked and coughed twice.

His whole face was red from coughing, and Wen Shutang poured him a glass of cold water.

Xiao Ye felt much better after drinking the water. Although he was choked, he still stared at the dish with curiosity.

"Mom, what is this? It's soft, it doesn't look like a vegetable or meat."

The other two children also looked curious, as they had never seen this thing before.

"This is called tofu, and it's made from soybeans. It's very nutritious. How is it? Does it taste good?" Wen Shutang explained with a smile.

Xiao Ye nodded his head like crazy: "It's delicious, but very spicy. I want another glass of water."

"Then Aye, try this, it's not spicy." Wen Shutang pushed another dish in front of him and turned to look at everyone else.

"Try them all and see how they taste."

The other two children tried a bite of the Mapo Tofu first, and without exception, they stuck out their tongues because of the spiciness.

Wen Shutang looked at their reactions with amusement. It seemed that he couldn't put too much hot sauce in the future as the children were still not used to it.

However, Xiao Yizhuo remained calm, which surprised Wen Shutang a little. He didn't expect that this guy could eat spicy food.

Then, under Wen Shutang's gaze, Xiao Yizhuo drank the large glass of water placed next to Xiao Ye with an expressionless face.

The thin lips looked even redder after being burned by the spiciness, and Wen Shutang couldn't help swallowing.

This man is really handsome.

Xiao Yizhuo noticed Wen Shutang's gaze and nodded at her.

"delicious."

After the meal, everyone drank a lot of water, but there was very little Mapo Tofu left on the plates.

Especially Xiao Ye, who couldn't help but eat with chopsticks even though he stuck out his tongue because of the spiciness.

After dinner, Wen Shutang pulled Xiao Yizhuo aside and asked in a low voice.

"Did you taste the sourness in the tofu when you ate just now?"

Xiao Yizhuo was stunned for a moment and then shook his head: "No, maybe the spicy taste covered up the sour taste."

Wen Shutang touched his chin when he heard this. The spiciness can indeed cover up the sourness, but if you want to sell it outside it will definitely not work. After all, not many people can eat spicy food often.

Thinking of this, Wen Shutang turned around and left the yard to borrow a donkey from Aunt Sun. She wanted to try it again, and this time she would definitely succeed.

Aunt Sun's family had just finished lunch. After learning about Wen Shutang's purpose, they generously lent her the donkey.

With the donkey pulling the mill, the efficiency was indeed much higher. After boiling the soy milk, Wen Shutang began to prepare the white vinegar water. This time she used a bowl and a half of water very rigorously and carefully counted the tofu.

Pressing the tofu with a heavy object, she clapped her hands and now all she had to do was wait for the tofu to take shape.

Wen Shutang shifted his gaze to the remaining bean dregs. Together with the bean dregs from last time, there was a full basin of them.

She thought about it and took carrots and cucumbers from the space while no one was around.

Bean dregs are also good things. They can be used to make fried meatballs as snacks for children.
