Madam Su tilted her head slightly and glanced at Bai Qingyun out of the corner of her eye, with a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

That's not what the little girl said at the beginning!

She clearly remembered that the little girl kept asking her to help with work in the fields, and she seemed to be considerate and caring about her in every way.

You know, for someone like Su Niangzi who pays great attention to her appearance, working in the fields is simply a nightmare.

Not only will you get tanned by the sun, but your delicate skin will also become rough and ugly.

For her, this was no less painful than death!

If it weren't for the fact that the little girl had good intentions, she would probably have really intended to kill her, even if the other person was her master...

Unlike others who were forced to sell their bodies, Su Niangzi always maintained her inner autonomy.

Even that thin piece of indenture could not restrain her freedom.

It all depends on her mood!

Because of this, she made no secret of her resistance to working in the fields.

Bai Qingyun understood it in his heart, but he never really forced her.

From the very beginning, she knew clearly that Madam Su was not only a friend, but also a family member and a noble person in her life... She was definitely not just an ordinary servant!

Afterwards, Bai Qingyun would settle for the next best thing and try hard to think about where his family needed help.

Building a cowshed is not only dirty and tiring, but also smells bad and is not suitable.

Only by teaching martial arts and cooking can one avoid those dirty and messy tasks.

Even cooking was not a request.

Who would have thought that this man was really so polite? Looking at the family, the main labor force was harvesting potatoes in the fields, and the elders in the family were either busy building the cowshed or helping out in the village ancestral hall...

Even the children were either busy practicing martial arts in the training ground or helping with farm work at home.

Bai's mother is the only one in charge of the family, and the older and more idle one is left alone.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind and came to the Bai family's big kitchen.

Fortunately, Bai's mother was still doing laundry at that time, otherwise the clothes of the other members of the Bai family would not be washed by Bai's mother.

Even Bai Qingyun's clothes were sometimes washed by Xie Shuer's quick eyes and hands, and sometimes, when Xi Yue saw it, she would rush to do it with Xie Shuer.

Xi Yue grew up in Dayang Village and often helped Aunt Yang with the rough chores at home. She would always say, "It's only natural to help the master with chores!", which made Xie Shu'er unable to resist.

As for the clothes of Mr. and Mrs. Bai, Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai, since most of the people in the family are men, and Mother Bai also sympathizes with Xie Shuer's tiredness from practicing martial arts, those dirty clothes will be washed before Xie Shuer comes.

Over time, among the four elders of the Bai family, the task of laundry was taken over by Bai's mother.

But Grandma Bai was also hardworking. There was a well in each courtyard, and she didn't want her daughter-in-law to be tired of washing her parents-in-law's clothes, so the old lady finished the work early in the morning.

The only clothes that Bai's mother actually washed were her own and Bai's father's clothes.

Every morning, she washes up, makes breakfast, and then goes back to her yard to sort out the account books and do the laundry. This repetitive life has formed a fixed pattern.

Madam Su observed carefully and chose a suitable time, thus avoiding some embarrassing situations caused by her lack of skills.

It was her first time cooking and she really didn’t know where to start. She was lost for a long time in that huge kitchen.

Eventually, I remembered how the street vendors cooked and regained my sanity.

I've never seen a pig walk, but I've eaten pork!

She was still leaning on the long table, standing there thinking about the many details she had seen before she began to imitate them.

However, the Bai family’s stove was too big, and its design was different from the stoves seen on the street. It was not only difficult to control, but also difficult to know how to use.

After searching for a long time, his heel accidentally touched the small stove under the long table, and then he came up with an idea.

Grandma Bai was also very meticulous in her work. She put the stove and pots together. Madam Su pulled ten together and soon all the small stoves were pulled out.

"Usually, we use one big pot to cook for so many people. If we need to use small pots, we can just use a few more!"

In the middle of the process, I did not forget to feel happy about my own cleverness, and at one point I thought this was my "talent" for cooking.

She added basic water and rice into the pot on each stove, but then she felt that the combination was too simple, so she searched the kitchen for some seasonings.

Unlike the simple oil and salt used by other farmers, under Bai Qingyun's guidance, Grandma Bai made many seasonings.

This spring, Bai Qingyun also took out a lot of soybeans and taught Grandma Bai how to make soybean paste and soy sauce.

If there are some things that Bai Qingyun doesn’t have time to do, he will take them out from the space and replenish the bottles and jars in the house in time.

Glass had not yet been made in this era, so small jars and porcelain bottles could only be used instead.

Not only that, there are also many spices such as star anise, cinnamon, wolfberry, pepper, etc.

All the big and small ones were neatly placed on the wooden rack next to the big stove.

When Mrs. Su found this place, she started "shopping" as if she had walked into a rouge and jewelry shop she liked.

There are just over a dozen small stoves, and you can try different combinations.

Put some vinegar in this pot, some star anise in that pot, and some sugar in this pot...

In her eyes, the various combinations are like the same thing matched with different clothes and jewelry.

What made her most happy was the big jar of lard.

Since coming to Jiangzhou, the Bai family has always had a meal together.

In order not to offend the picky appetites of her family members and not to mistreat the workers, Grandma Bai would consume more than half of a wild boar almost every day.

Especially on the day of the Bai family banquet, many people came, and several wild boars were killed, including several roasted suckling pigs.

Fortunately, Bai Qingyun had already started to breed wild boars rapidly in the space, otherwise there would be insufficient supply.

Although most of the lard produced from wild boar meat will be consumed, the excess lard will also accumulate.

The jar for storing lard at home has evolved from a small bowl at the beginning to a large jar now.

No wonder Mrs. Su was so happy. The other seasonings didn't seem to be much, so she didn't dare to use too much, for fear that she wouldn't have time to replenish them when Grandma Bai needed them for cooking.

But there is plenty of lard, so there is no need to worry.

Not only was a large spoonful of lard added to each small pot, but several spoonfuls were also placed in one of the pots of rice.

The lard began to slowly dissolve in the water, and a thick layer of fat floated on the water surface.

Those that cannot be dissolved will also split into small pieces of milky white solid.

In that separate pot... the lard that wouldn't melt, the milky white solids were particularly large!
