Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

With Lu Haoran delivering ripe persimmons, Xia Yingying decided to make persimmon jam to use in pastries, adding a variety to tomorrow's pastries.

After Xia Yingying removed the stems and peeled the ripe persimmons, she placed the flesh in a wooden basin. When Lu Yuwei saw this, she took a knife and took the initiative to help Xia Yingying ripen the persimmons.

Xia Yingying used a spoon to mash half a basket of persimmons into a paste and put it into a bowl. A fresh and sweet fruity aroma filled the air.

She made a regular version of persimmon cake. The dough for the cake requires wheat flour and glutinous rice flour mixed in a ratio of 3:2, but there was only wheat flour and no glutinous rice flour at home, so Xia Yingying just used flour.

The sugar content in persimmons is already enough, but people here like to eat sweet things, so Xia Yingying added some sugar. After mixing the persimmon sauce with sugar, pour the flour in and knead it into a dough.

Except when Lu Yuwei was pounding the persimmon paste, he just watched carefully at the rest of the time. After Xia Yingying kneaded the dough, she asked Lu Yuwei to make pancakes with her.

Xia Yingying fried the persimmon cake with sesame oil. The sizzling aroma of the oil, accompanied by the fragrant sweetness of persimmons, spread with the burnt aroma of the cake.

Lu Haojie, who was peeling persimmons in the yard, put down the knife and walked into the kitchen. His round eyes rolled around and he sniffed hard, "Stepmother, what delicious food have you made again?"

Lu Haojie stood on tiptoe and looked into the oil pan.

"Persimmon cake." Xia Yingying flipped it over with a spatula.

The pancake is golden and crispy, and looks delicious.

"Don't worry, I'll give you food." Xia Yingying couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lu Haojie's eager expression.

Why didn't she realize before that Lu Haojie was a greedy little cutie?

Lu Haojie ran out with his short legs and continued to peel persimmons. With Xia Yingying's promise of persimmon cakes, he worked even harder.

Since she was going to the market tomorrow and persimmon cakes were one of the cakes she was going to sell, Xia Yingying took this opportunity to fry all the remaining cakes in one pot.

Persimmon jam can't be stored. Although she has a refrigerator to keep it fresh, how can people not be suspicious when such a large bowl of persimmon jam disappears without a trace?

The children around her were not ordinary children, but villains who were more shrewd than the others. Xia Yingying didn't believe that they would not notice the slightest abnormality. It was better to be safe than sorry.

But if I get up tomorrow morning to make steamed cake, there won’t be enough time.

She could only make it today and sell it tomorrow.

However, it is a problem as to where to keep the finished pastries fresh.

If the refrigerator can’t be used, what else can I use?

Xia Yingying suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she lived in the countryside with her grandmother. The weather was very hot in the summer, and the family was poor and there was no refrigerator. Her grandmother liked to put the leftover vegetables in a basket and put it in a bucket and sink it into the well, saying that it could keep them fresh.

Yes, you can put some in the well, and secretly put some in the space, so that they will not be discovered by others.

She is so clever.

The double skin milk can also be arranged. Xia Yingying gave Lu Haoran some money and asked him to buy goat milk. Lu Haojie also shouted that he wanted to go.

"By the way, when you come back later, pick a few more roses for me. I'll use them to make cakes."

"Okay, stepmother. I promise to complete the task." Lu Haojie said seriously.

After Lu Yuwei controlled the fire, she was ordered by Xia Yingying to beat the eggs. Lu Yuwei had done it once before and was now familiar with separating the egg liquid.

Xia Yingying fried five pots of persimmon cakes in total, about two hundred in total.

Lu Haoran also bought goat milk, and Lu Haojie washed the roses and put them on the chopping board. The last pot of persimmon cakes was also out of the pot. After Xia Yingying washed the pot, she poured the goat milk and roses into the pot to cook. She kept some of the cooked goat milk for Lu Yurou, and used the rest to make double skin milk.

Lu Haoran was responsible for beating the eggs.

After watching Lu Haoran beat the milk and eggs in one breath, Xia Yingying couldn't believe that this was a child. His strength and endurance were so good, thousands of times better than her as an adult. In front of him, Xia Yingying felt that she was worthless.

With the help of three children, the steamed cake has been steamed. The double skin milk has also been prepared and can only be steamed in the pot.

However, this time, a lot of cakes were made and there were not enough eggs, so Xia Yingying went to Aunt Yang's house and bought thirty more eggs, buying all the eggs that Aunt Yang was going to sell at the market.

Xia Yingying used the washed milk pot to cook. They were already hungry, and they couldn't wait until the pastries were steamed before eating. That would take forever.

The cakes can be steamed slowly without rushing.

Everyone ate a persimmon cake before the meal. The persimmon cake was sweet and delicious, with a crispy skin and was very tasty.

Although I ate pancakes, I didn’t have a perfunctory dinner.

Xia Yingying fried meat slices with fresh mushrooms picked today, made dry-pot potato slices, and cooked cabbage soup. The whole family enjoyed the meal with gusto, but Lu Haojie was obviously not paying attention to the food, as he kept glancing at the bowl of double skin milk.

Xia Yingying didn't indulge him, and said directly: "Eat well, don't think about eating cakes and skipping meals later."

Hearing this, Lu Haojie raised his head and looked at Xia Yingying tentatively with round eyes, hesitating to say, "Stepmother, I..."

"It's a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Let's eat quickly." Xia Yingying picked up a piece of meat and put it in Lu Haojie's bowl.

Lu Haojie finished the rice in his bowl and stopped eating. Even so, a small ball was bulging out of his belly.

After Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei washed the dishes, the steamed cake was ready, so Xia Yingying put the double skin milk into the steamer.

In order to eat double skin milk later, Lu Haojie went for a walk around the village several times.

When he came back, two large bowls of double skin milk were just out of the pot.

Lu Haojie ate a bowl before going to bed.

Lu Yuwei and Song Ruyi also ate a little, but Xia Yingying and Lu Haojie didn't eat anything because they had eaten too much.

"I'm going to the market tomorrow. Who of you wants to go with me?"

"Yingying, you can't carry so many things, and I'm worried about leaving the child at home, so why don't you go together?"

Lu Yuwei and Lu Haojie's eyes were sparkling, and they were obviously looking forward to going to the market tomorrow.

What Song Ruyi said was right. They didn't know whether Wang Dachui would come to their house and rummage around after they left. It would be very dangerous if they really met him. It would be better for them to go to the market together. She had a lot of things to sell and had to buy mushrooms, so she was too busy.

"Do you want to go?" Lu Haojie and Lu Yuwei nodded at the same time.

Lu Haoran was obviously not interested in this, so Xia Yingying asked him again: "Do you want to stay at home or go out with us tomorrow?"

"I'm fine with either." Lu Haoran replied.

Seeing that he was really casual and not modest, Xia Yingying made the decision directly: "Then you should go out with us tomorrow. It's not safe for you to stay home alone."

After making plans for tomorrow's trip, Xia Yingying and Song Ruyi put steamed cakes and double-skin milk in a backpack and sank them into a bucket in the well. Xia Yingying took advantage of Song Ruyi not noticing and put some in the refrigerator in the space, otherwise the heavy cakes would definitely be soaked in water. The mushrooms were also placed in a moist place by the well and sprinkled with some water.

Because they had to get up early the next day, the family went to bed early.

After Xia Yingying returned to the room, she stuffed the box containing valuables into the secret compartment of the bed in front of Lu Yuwei, and then secretly stuffed the box into the space when she was not paying attention.

She was the last one to leave the kitchen and stuffed all the food in the kitchen into the space.

Although this system is pretty useless, this space is really useful.
