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

Hearing Wen Shutang say this, Xiao Yizhuo fell silent. His original intention was to tell her after everything was resolved, but now it seems that she doesn't like this.

He was silent for a moment and then spoke in a low voice: "I was negligent. I thought you would be happy if I told you after everything was settled."

Wen Shutang didn't know how to describe her feelings. She actually knew that Xiao Yizhuo was thinking about her. The fact that he took the initiative to help proved that his current feelings for her were not all disgust.

But she really didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark.

"No matter what, we are still husband and wife now. I hope you can really treat me as your own. Even if you don't tell me everything, at least give me a hint in advance."

"it is good."

Neither of them spoke again until they got on the ox cart, when Wen Shutang realized that he had forgotten to give the tofu recipe he had been holding in his arms to Song Zhoubai.

She pursed her lips. Today was supposed to be the day to deliver the prescription, but now she had forgotten the most important thing.

"Uncle Liu, can you wait for me for a moment? I have to deliver something."

Uncle Liu nodded readily: "No one else is taking the bus today, just the two of you, so of course you can leave later."

Wen Shutang turned around and raised the prescription in his hand to Xiao Yizhuo: "I forgot to give this to Master Song. Wait for me here for a while, I'll go and deliver it."

Xiao Yizhuo nodded and watched her get out of the car and walk away.

Staring at her back, Xiao Yizhuo had different thoughts in his mind.

The feeling of annoyance that I used to feel whenever I saw her seemed to have disappeared without me noticing, and was replaced by a sense of curiosity and desire to explore new things.

When did he start to be interested in her? Xiao Yizhuo himself couldn't tell the exact time, but it seemed to be from the first time he saw her being gentle to the children.

At that time, he didn't believe that Wen Shutang could really change her bad habits. He always felt that Wen Shutang's gentleness towards the children was all fake, and one day she would return to her original willful and capricious self.

But after these days of contact, Xiao Yizhuo had the illusion that she was born to be smart and docile.

He didn't know why she suddenly became like this, but Xiao Yizhuo was sure that he liked Wen Shutang more now.

Wen Shutang didn't know that Xiao Yizhuo had undergone a subtle change in his heart. She stood on the street looking at the surging crowd, and then she remembered that she still didn't know where the Zhaixing Tower was.

He sighed and asked people along the way to the Zhaixing Tower.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Song Zhoubai preparing to leave. She walked up quickly and spoke before Song Zhoubai got into the car.

"Young master's family."

When Song Zhoubai heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Wen Shutang. He was immediately delighted and got off the carriage and walked to Wen Shutang.

"Madam Wen, I just wanted to look for you."

Wen Shutang took out the tofu recipe from his sleeve and waved it in front of him: "Is it because of this? I only remembered that I forgot to give it to you after I got in the car."

Song Zhoubai nodded repeatedly, his eyes fixed on the paper in her hand.

"Yes, yes. I just remembered it when I got back. The kitchen staff just told me that there is not enough tofu for tomorrow. I am still worried whether I can get tofu in time tomorrow."

"I have written down the detailed steps of making tofu here. If you have any questions, you can always come to me."

After Wen Shutang handed the tofu in his hand to Song Zhoubai, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Song Zhoubai.

"Madam Wen, please stay. You are here today. Why don't we go to the kitchen together and teach them how to cook. This will save me from bothering you again if there are any problems in the future."

Wen Shutang thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. If Song Zhoubai went to Da'an Village again in such a high-profile manner, who knows what those gossips would say.

"That's fine, but my husband is still waiting for me to come back. Please send someone to tell him to go back first."

"Okay." Song Zhoubai turned around and waved. The two servants in dark clothes nodded, turned around and ran towards the ox cart.

"Let's go."

Wen Shutang nodded and followed Song Zhoubai towards the kitchen.

The two servants found the ox cart parked at the end of the town and explained Wen Shutang's situation to Xiao Yizhuo.

Xiao Yizhuo nodded, waited for the two servants to leave, gestured towards the darkness, and then spoke.

"Uncle, let's go."

Uncle Liu also heard what the servant said, responded and drove away.

Mu Zhu, who was in the dark, immediately understood Xiao Yizhuo's gesture and turned around and walked towards the Zhaixing Tower.

Xiao Yizhuo sat in the car with his eyes closed to rest. He had already been out long enough today. If he went back any later, he was afraid that the children would be waiting anxiously. With Muzhu to protect her, nothing should happen.

Wen Shutang followed Song Zhoubai to the back kitchen. When the chefs who were cooking saw the young master coming, they quickly finished their work and surrounded the two men.

"Young Master, there is not enough tofu for tomorrow. Several tables have reserved Mapo Tofu." One of the chefs who looked older spoke up.

Song Zhoubai nodded and signaled everyone to stay calm: "I know, I'm here to solve this matter today."

He pointed at Wen Shutang beside him with a smile on his face.

"This is Madam Wen who can make tofu. She was the one who taught us how to make Mapo Tofu last time. I'm sure you all haven't forgotten it. I invited her here today to teach you how to make tofu."

The leader, Master Chen, smiled gently after seeing Wen Shutang: "Of course I haven't forgotten. This young lady's cooking skills are amazing at such a young age. There are not many girls who can cook with such good skills. Everyone still has a deep memory of her."

How could it not be profound? The last time they came to teach them how to make Mapo Tofu, these chefs relied on their older age and richer experience to be very disdainful of the young girl Wen Shutang. They even threatened that it was impossible for her to cook better dishes than theirs.

But in the end, Wen Shutang's Mapo Tofu amazed them all.

Fortunately, these chefs are people who can afford to lose. They all admire people who are better at cooking than themselves, and they apologized to Wen Shutang afterwards.

Wen Shutang smiled at them and said, "All of you uncles have been cooking for decades. This tofu recipe is very simple and I'm sure you will be able to master it quickly."

Everyone responded with a smile, and Wen Shutang didn't waste any more words and asked them directly if they had soaked soybeans.

Chef Chen nodded quickly: "Yes, other dishes sometimes also require soaked beans."

As soon as he waved his hand, someone brought up a basin of soybeans. Wen Shutang picked up one and squeezed it.

"The first step in making tofu is to soak the beans. In winter, it is best to soak them overnight, while in summer, only four hours is enough."
