The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

The village school had been under intensive repair for several days and was nearing completion. It would be harder to deliver meals there, so Jiang Tingxia wanted to give it a sense of closure and was preparing to make buns with both meat and vegetable fillings.

She kneaded a large piece of dough early in the morning and let it rise. Then she peeled the bamboo shoots, washed the pickled Chinese mustard greens with water to remove some of the saltiness, diced the vegetables, and cut the pork belly into sections for later use.

Then she called Mrs. Zhang from next door to help with the fire. To be honest, she still hasn't gotten over the trauma of the last fire at home, so she would ask for help whenever she could. Most of the meals she cooked in the past few days were made by taking the ingredients to Zhang Hongxiang's house. Today, making buns took time, so she started a stove at home.

Fortunately, Zhang Hongxiang was enthusiastic and started a fire in no time.

Zhang Hongxiang patted the dirt and asked, "What delicious food are you going to make for your Captain Li?"

Jiang Tingxia pointed at the prepared ingredients and answered, "Use the vegetarian vegetables to make bamboo shoots buns, and stew the pork belly into braised pork to make braised pork buns."

Zhang Hongxiang was confused by what she heard. "Oh, you are really good at naming things. Just say Baozi."

Jiang Tingxia smiled and said, "Yes, it's steamed buns."

Jiang Tingxia stir-fried the diced bamboo shoots and Chinese mustard greens in a pot, then added various seasonings, and after frying until fragrant, he served it on a plate.

After the vegetarian filling is prepared, start cooking the meat filling.

Put the pork belly, ginger slices and white wine into the pot and blanch them. After taking them out of the pot, wash them with hot water. Heat oil in a pot again, add rock sugar and stir-fry until it melts. Put the pork belly in and stir-fry until it is colored. Add soy sauce until the pork becomes bright red and appetizing. Then stir-fry a few more times.

It’s almost done. Add boiling water to cover the pork and simmer over low heat until it’s well-seasoned.

There is a little trick in this step. When adding water to stew, be sure to add boiling water. Neither cold water nor warm water will work. This will make the meat tight, and not only will it not be flavorful, but it will also not be soft and tender when stewed.

Zhang Hongxiang was dazzled and said distressedly, "Just mix the stuffing and wrap it up. You're frying, stewing, and boiling it, which wastes oil and trouble."

Jiang Tingxia observed the braised pork broth, "It tastes good this way, you'll know when you taste it later."

Zhang Hongxiang curled her lips, "It must be delicious. It takes so much time and effort to make it, how can it not be delicious?"

While the braised pork was cooking, Jiang Tingxia began to prepare the dough. She would occasionally prepare food by herself at the Jiang family and was used to making small buns, one bite at a time. They were small, exquisite and stylish, and easy and elegant to eat. It would not look good if the soup leaked everywhere while eating.

However, she thought of Li Changpu's appetite. He would have to eat a lot of small buns like that, at least dozens of them. Thinking of that scene, Jiang Tingxia wanted to laugh. She was not polite in dividing the dough with her hands. In the end, each steamed bun was as big as her two fists.

The steam mixed with the aroma of buns wafted back and forth, making people drool. Dazhu and several children gathered in front of the pot early, waiting to eat the buns.

Jiang Tingxia took a large porcelain bowl and filled it with buns for them. Zhang Hongxiang pushed them to not have so many, so she took out one and handed the bowl to the three children, "Dazhu, you three share two buns, don't bully your brother."

Dazhu let out a cry and ran away with his brothers.

Zhang Hongxiang shouted from behind, "Slow down, don't fall, you three ancestors must be reincarnated from starvation."

Jiang Tingxia handed the bun that Zhang Hongxiang had taken out to her and asked her to have a try. Zhang Hongxiang did not refuse any more and broke it open. She ate the fat twice. The greasy filling dyed the dough red. An aroma rushed into her nose. Zhang Hongxiang could not help but take a bite immediately. The aroma of meat, wheat and sauce mixed together. She did not care about the hotness and ate half of it in three bites.

"Ting Xia, how did you research this thing? It's really delicious."

Jiang Tingxia packed three meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes for her and asked her to deliver them to Zhao Yong later.

Zhang Hongxiang was embarrassed to take it at first, but since it was so delicious, she really wanted her husband to have a taste of it, so she took it with a red face, but she also gave Jiang Tingxia a bowl of the stew she had prepared today.

Jiang Tingxia took out the glutinous rice balls she had made last time. Every time they ate, she would cook a few for her and Li Changpu. Now they had almost finished eating them, and this time, she wanted to eat them in a different way.

Jiang Tingxia poured a layer of oil into the pot, fried the glutinous rice balls in, and with a sizzling sound, poured in starch water. Then he flattened them with a spatula. After simmering for a few minutes, he served them on a plate. The glutinous rice balls had stuck together, and the surface was covered with a layer of golden hard crust formed by the starch water, which looked very appetizing.

Jiang Tingxia filled a whole basket with buns, so he had to take another basket for the rice dumplings, and also put the stew that Zhang Hongxiang gave her in the basket, and also served a small bowl of pickled vegetables to cleanse the mouth and relieve the greasiness.

I've been here for a few days now, and the conditions on site are not so good anymore. At least they can provide a few stools for eating.

Li Changpu saw Jiang Tingxia coming over with two baskets with difficulty, and hurried forward to take the things. Jiang Tingxia called out softly, "Be careful, there is soup in it, don't spill it."

Li Changpu slowed down, put the basket away, walked to the bucket, and asked the young soldier in front of him to scoop a bucket of water for him to wash his hands.

I washed it twice and left only when all the dirt on my hands was gone.

Young soldier: The regiment commander has changed. He is not active in eating anymore. Last time, their brothers had problems in training and were listless and slow in eating. When he caught them, he gave them a good scolding. At this moment, the young soldier silently returned the words that Li Changpu had used to scold them, and felt relieved.

When Li Changpu returned, Jiang Tingxia had already prepared the meal, which was full and sumptuous.

Next to them were Zhao Yong and Zhang Hongxiang. The dishes in front of them were basically the same as those prepared by Jiang Tingxia. This was the case for both families over the past few days.

Li Changpu also knew that it was Zhang Hongxiang who cooked, and Jiang Tingxia provided the ingredients and helped out by the way.

Zhao Yong took two bites of the buns, with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't care about stuffing his mouth full, and said vaguely, "This bun is well made. Your cooking skills have suddenly improved!"

Zhang Hongxiang continued, "I didn't make these buns. Ting Xia made them."

Li Changpu, who had just taken a bite of the bun, instantly forgot to chew and asked, "Did you make this?"

Jiang Tingxia broke off half of a vegetarian bun and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Seeing Li Changpu's serious expression, Jiang Tingxia said with a hint of sarcasm, "Don't worry, your house is fine. I asked my sister-in-law to come over to help. But I mixed the dough and stuffing, so it's my job."

Li Changpu didn't say anything else and started eating his meal in big mouthfuls.

Li Changpu has a cold face and a cruel heart. Although he is young, he is very good at training soldiers. His subordinates respect and fear him, but there are always a few unexpectedly stubborn people.

Someone came over slowly, smiling, "Captain, what are you eating? The aroma is two miles away."

Li Changpu looked at him helplessly, his face ten times colder than what Jiang Tingxia usually saw, "Guo Biao, come closer to me, you're itching for trouble again, right?"

Guo Biao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, I am in good health and I enjoy everything I eat."

Li Changpu was obviously used to his playful smile, and waved his hand and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing to say, then go ahead." Li Changpu paused for a moment, but because Jiang Tingxia was present, he swallowed the words "get out" back into his stomach and said, "Eat your meal."
