As Wen Xiu and Song Xiaoyue chatted, she did not feel that time was passing slowly. A short while later, she got up and went to get a dumpster hung under the eaves. "I've had almost all the powdered buns for lunch today."
Song Xiaoyue's heart was filled with joy. She also followed Wenxiu and went to help out. "Then I'll bring you the tiled basin."
The two adults were busy, and the two kids were not idle either. They had burnt potatoes in their hands and were munching on them. When the siblings saw that the adults were starting to get busy, they looked at each other and tacitly placed the potatoes back into the house.
Wenxiu once again hung the excess potato powder under the eaves. She could not eat that much at once, so the excess potato powder had to be dried and stored like flour. If it were in the modern world, the machines would have straight up wrapped the white round powder. If they wanted to buy two bags of powder when they were about to eat, why would it be so troublesome?
Song Xiaoyue was also diligent. She carried the basin into the kitchen and rolled up her sleeves like she usually did with dough, not treating herself as a guest at all.
Since she wasn't good at kneading dough, she picked up other jobs and fried a small dish of rapeseed oil in the pan. Then she added two spoonfuls of water to boil.
"Mistress Yue, kneading it is enough. The most important thing is to knead it until it is as thick as your pinky and then cook it in a wok. Can you do it? "
Although Wenxiu's question was a bit impolite, it was impossible for her not to ask.
Song Xiaoyue was not the least bit embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will definitely make you satisfied."
Indeed, after Song Xiaoyue had finished kneading the dough, her delicate hands quickly and steadily twisted the dough into a thin and even strip. Then, under the guidance of Wenxiu, they would break it in accordance with the appropriate length. As soon as the water in the pot boiled, they went to the separate pots.
The boiling water was suffused with white waves, and the potato powder was even more crystalline in the waves. Just looking at its color and appearance, it was much more appetizing than cooking noodles.
Soon, the potato flour was cooked. Every single one of them was sparkling and translucent.
"Wow, it looks so delicious!"
"Mother, I want to eat, I want to eat!"
"I want to eat too!"
"Good, good, good. Everything is available …"
"Oh, oh, oh. There's potato powder to eat now!"
Song Xiaoyue had always been kind to the two children. She first served the potato powder to the two children, and at the same time, she did not forget to remind them, "Be careful, be careful."
Cheers and laughter sounded out from Wen Xiu's kitchen.
At first, Wenxiu only wanted to change the way she ate potatoes, but it seemed that processed potato flour was more attractive. Not only the two children and Song Xiaoyue, but even she herself felt that this plain potato powder was especially delicious.
In Wenxiu's previous life, the cheapest potato flour she had ever eaten was a casserole of potato flour on a roadside stall for 4-5 yuan per bowl. Even so, there were bean sprouts and kelp filaments at the bottom of the pot, two sausages on the surface, a few pieces of flat mushrooms and, most importantly, a specially made soup. But what they are eating now is a bowl of ordinary potato flour, white water with a little salt and two drops of rapeseed oil on top.
Fragrant!
"Xiu Niang, your cooking skills are quite good. This potato powder is soft and sticky in your mouth. It tastes countless times better than eating burnt potatoes." "It's too delicious, it's really too delicious …" Song Xiaoyue praised as she ate!
"If you think it's delicious, eat more. If it's not enough, we can cook more!"
"Sigh, then I won't hold back!"
Even though she said that, Song Xiaoyue was thinking that she should get Wang Yanqing to send something over to these three mothers.
Seeing how delicious Song Xiaoyue was eating, Wenxiu couldn't help but feel that the taste was bad. But she was wrong to think about it. What was the condition of the family? There wasn't even the smallest amount of pepper, scallions, ginger, or garlic, nor was there any large bone soup. To have such a fragrance, it was already quite good. If she really wanted to do this business, she would need to prepare a lot of things.
Let's not worry about it for now. Let's fill up our stomach first, and then we can talk after we've satisfied our appetite.
However, while they were eating happily in the kitchen, the sounds of bustling activity could be heard.
"Wen Xiu, come out, come out …"
At first, Wenxiu did not think much of it, but after carefully listening to the duck-like voice, she immediately understood who it was. She raised her head and looked into Song Xiaoyue's eyes before putting down her utensils.
The two children by the table began to tremble when they heard the sound!
Without waiting for Wenxiu to leave, Old Madam Li had already dragged Lee Gou Dan into the kitchen. Behind the two of them was Li Lu, who had a naughty smile on his face, and a high and mighty Li Tao Hua.
Could it be that the Li family members had gone crazy? Why did they always come to her house to "visit" her if they had nothing to do?
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Wow …"
Lee Goudan's actions were out of everyone's expectation. No one could have imagined that when he entered the kitchen and saw the bowl of potato powder in the Tong Tong Valley, he would actually snatch it in three strides.
The Tong Tong Tong cried!
"You bullied my sister!"
"Clang!"
He saw Li Goudan snatching his sister's food, glared at him, and suddenly ran in front of Lee Goudan. With a push of his hands, Lee Goudan staggered and his hands lost their balance, and he directly threw the bowl of potato flour on the ground — it was broken!
"I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
"I'm going to beat you to death for spouting nonsense!"
Lee Gou Dan crawled up from the ground and cursed angrily, then he grabbed the tree with his hands. The tree did not back down as the two of them quickly clashed.
The two children fought too suddenly. No one expected that Wenxiu would rush over to protect Tree. Unexpectedly, Old Madam Li's hands were even quicker. As she extended her hands to protect Lee Goudan, she even pinched Tree's arm. She was strong, and fierce. The tree was still a child after all. With a wail, she cried.
When Wenxiu saw this, she became angry!
"Mistress Yue, help me look after this good child!" Wenxiu pushed the two children in front of Song Xiaoyue. She turned around and reached out a hand to push Old Mrs. Li away. "Get out, all of you. This is my house. All of you, get out …"
The kitchen was not big to begin with. After a whole room was filled with people, no one had any extra space to spare. Old Madam Li continued to protect Lee Goudan as he retreated. Li Lu and Li Tao Hua, who were at the kitchen door, couldn't stand steadily and were forced to retreat.
The courtyard was now spacious!
Old Madame Li saw the fierceness in Wen Xiu's face and was somewhat unsure if she was bluffing. However, just as Li Goudan was about to step out, he crashed into his leg and shouted as if he wanted to eat potato flour.
"Good boy, this time you can't yell. Old Mrs. Li is going to throw caution to the wind."
"Damn slut, you gave potato powder to outsiders but you didn't give it to your nephew. What kind of aunt are you? What kind of daughter-in-law are you to have such a thing and not give it to your mother to eat? "You black-hearted thing …"
With Old Madam Li's shout, Wenxiu finally understood. This entire family had come for the potato powder!
