After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Ding Xirui walked to the kitchen in the backyard and saw Aunt Gu preparing lunch. She hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Aunt Gu, are you free today?"

"Young Madam, what do you need me to do?" Aunt Gu put down the work in her hands and asked.

"I want to learn how to make noodles and would like you to teach me." Ding Xirui said with a smile.

"Madam, you don't have to do it yourself. Today is the second young master's birthday. Although we can't celebrate it, Madam has asked me to make a bowl of longevity noodles for the second young master in the evening." Aunt Gu understood immediately.

"I see. Mother is very thoughtful. But, Aunt Gu, the kitchen is so busy. Why don't you teach me? I have nothing to do and can do it when I am free." Ding Xirui felt a little embarrassed.

Aunt Gu smiled and said, "No problem. I'll go to your yard after lunch."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. You and the Second Young Master are truly a loving couple."

Both people in the kitchen laughed. Ding Xirui blushed and ran away quickly.

Shortly after noon, Ding Xirui took out the flour, found a large basin, prepared water, cleaned the chopping board, and waited for Aunt Gu.

Aunt Gu walked into the kitchen and saw that everything was ready. She couldn't help but praise:

"Young Madam, you are really thoughtful."

"Aunt Gu, please stop praising me and let's get started."

"Okay. Do you want to make noodles for the young master alone, or make more?" Aunt Gu asked while washing her hands.

"Make it for four."

"Row."

"This is enough for four people. It's cold today, so it's okay to make more." Aunt Gu scooped out flour from the flour bag.

"it is good."

"We make hand-rolled noodles. First, knead the flour into dough. Note that you cannot add too much water. You have to add it little by little."

Aunt Gu gave instructions and Ding Xirui followed them.

"Yes, that's it. First, knead it into dough, and then knead it into a ball."

Small lumps of dough appeared in the basin. In Ding Xirui's hands, the dough gradually mixed together and turned into dough.

"It takes some strength to knead the dough until it is smooth." Aunt Gu spoke again.

"Okay." Ding Xirui nodded.

She used both hands to rub her wrists repeatedly, and her wrists soon became sore.

"Young Madam, you must be tired. Let me help you?" Aunt Gu rolled up her sleeves and prepared to help.

"No need, Aunt Gu, just drink some water and take a rest." Ding Xirui refused. She wanted to do every step by herself.

"Okay." Aunt Gu took a step back and watched happily from the side.

After kneading for less than a quarter of an hour, the dough became very smooth, and the bowl and hands were very clean.

"Young Madam, that's good. Now the dough needs to rise, you can take a rest."

“How long will it take to rise?”

"It's cold today, so we have to let it ferment for an hour."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Gu. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll ask Banxia to call you in an hour."

"Okay, Madam, please take a rest." Aunt Gu got up and went to the backyard.

Ding Xirui shook his wrist, washed his hands, and went to the yard to see Nanxing busy at work.

Nanxing took some rough wood and nails, and ran to the blacksmith shop to find some slightly longer iron wires.

Cross two wooden sticks at the top and nail them, making two sets in total, and stand them on both sides; take two more wooden sticks, place them at the intersection, and secure them with ropes, and a rack is ready.

"Nanxing, is this strong enough?"

"Young Madam, don't worry, I've found the strongest wood, I guarantee there will be no problem."

"Okay, let's hang the small pot up and try it."

"Okay." Nanxing took the small pot, wrapped the wire around the center of the outside of the pot several times, and then passed the wire through the ears of the pot and hung it on the rack.

"Not bad, Nanxing." Ding Xirui praised.

"Young Madam, these are just small matters. If you have any problem, just leave it to me." Nan Xing patted his chest.

"Next time, will you bargain?" Banxia said.

"Then let's not do it for now. We'll talk about it later." Nan Xing scratched his head embarrassedly.

Several people laughed.

"Clean the pots and racks, let's take them to the main hall."

"it is good."

After they finished their work, the dough was almost ready, so they called Aunt Gu from the backyard and started rolling the dough.

"Sprinkle flour on the chopping board first to prevent the dough from sticking to the board."

Ding Xirui sprinkled flour as instructed.

"First, roll out the dough into a large, thin sheet."

Ding Xirui picked up the rolling pin, pressed the dough hard, rolled it forward and backward, and after moving it a few times, he actually started sweating a little.

"Young Madam, you are not very strong and this is your first time rolling out noodles, so take your time." Aunt Gu resisted the urge to step forward to help and patiently instructed from the side.

"Okay." Ding Xirui continued to work hard, feeling that the food he had eaten at noon was almost finished.

After finally rolling it into a thin sheet, Aunt Gu spoke again:

“Sprinkle with flour, fold, and roll.”

"what?"

"You need to roll it a few more times, otherwise the dough won't be chewy."

"it is good."

Ding Xirui folded and rolled the dough repeatedly according to Aunt Gu's instructions.

"Okay, that's almost it. Now fold the dough and cut it into strips with a knife."

"Finally okay?"

"Yes, Madam, you have worked hard."

"Okay." Ding Xirui breathed a sigh of relief. Banxia handed her a handkerchief and helped her wipe the sweat off her face.

She picked up the knife and cut slowly, and the noodles were "born". This was Ding Xirui's first time rolling noodles, and she was very satisfied.

"Aunt Gu, thank you. I can make the noodle soup myself."

"You're welcome, Madam."

"Banxia, ​​please ask Aunt Gu to bring back some snacks." Ding Xirui turned and said to Banxia.

"Okay." Banxia went to pack snacks.

"Young Madam, that's not necessary." Aunt Gu waved her hand.

"Aunt Gu, please take some back. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to ask you for help next time." Ding Xirui held Aunt Gu's hand.

"Then I'll accept it. Thank you, Madam." Aunt Gu took the snacks with a smile and went back to the backyard.

As night fell, Ding Xirui poured the pork rib soup into a small pot, and Nanxing lit the charcoal basin, waiting for Lin Mingxuan to return.

However, after waiting for a long time, Lin Mingxuan still didn't come back.

"Nanxing, could something have happened in the clinic?" Ding Xirui felt panicked when he thought of the time when Jishidiang was falsely accused.

"Young Madam, don't worry, I'll go out and take a look." Nanxing ran out.

At the gate of the courtyard, I happened to run into Lin Mingxuan.

"Master, why are you so late today?"

"I went to the market after work and bought some things, so I was a little late."

"Master, what did you buy?"

"Let's talk after we get inside."

Lin Mingxuan entered the house with the package.

Seeing the dishes on the table and the fire rack on the ground, Lin Mingxuan was a little confused:

"What are we going to eat today?"

"This." Ding Xirui pointed at the pot and said.

"Big pot food?" Lin Mingxuan frowned.

"What big pot dish? This is called 'hot pot'. It's so nice and cozy while making fire and eating dishes." Ding Xirui explained.

"Hot pot." Lin Mingxuan repeated thoughtfully.

"Yes, you don't have to do anything today, just sit down and wait for dinner." Ding Xirui pushed Lin Mingxuan onto the stool.

"Nanxing, start the fire."

"Okay." Nanxing said, moving the charcoal basin under the pot.

"Master, we have been busy all day today." Nanxing said.

"Okay, you can eat any of these dishes later." Lin Mingxuan said with a smile.

After a while, Ding Xirui came out of the kitchen and brought out a bowl of noodles.

A few strands of noodles, some vegetables, a few slices of meat, and a round poached egg.

"Master Lin, happy birthday, please eat." Ding Xirui handed the noodles to Lin Mingxuan.

"Master, this was made by the Young Madam herself." Nan Xing said with a smile as he added charcoal into the brazier.

"So, you prepared so much..." Lin Mingxuan took the bowl and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Yes, we will celebrate your birthday."

Ding Xirui smiled.

Lin Mingxuan looked at the busy three people with gratitude in his eyes. In the past, although Mrs. Lin would ask the kitchen to send him noodles, he was always alone and lonely. But now, the room is full of liveliness, and he has his own home.

Picking up the chopsticks, he put the noodles into his mouth and savored them carefully.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Ding Xirui asked with some excitement in his eyes.

"Yeah, delicious." He nodded.

"Great, I'll leave my hands to it today." Ding Xirui shook his wrist.

"Yes, the young lady did it all by herself from beginning to end, and we didn't interfere." Banxia said.

"Thank you." Lin Mingxuan reached out, grabbed Ding Xirui's wrist and rubbed it gently.

"Okay, it's okay. After you finish your noodles, we'll start eating hot pot. There are sesame paste and chili powder here, you can make the sauce yourself." Ding Xirui stood up and said in a relaxed manner.

"What should we do?" Nanxing asked.

"Look at me." Ding Xirui scooped a spoonful of sesame paste, added some chili peppers, and then poured a little vinegar from a small bowl.

"Make your own meal whatever you want."

"it is good."

Everyone sat around the small pot, the clear soup began to boil, and Ding Xirui put the fish balls in.

“Wait until the fish balls float up and are cooked, then eat them.”

Then, she put in the meat slices, rice cake slices, carrot slices, sweet potato slices and mushrooms in turn.

The steam is rising and the fragrance is everywhere. I scoop out a piece of winter bamboo shoots. The sweetness and fragrance bloom in my mouth. It is indeed a "mountain delicacy".

"Young Madam, it's delicious." Banxia said.

"This tastes better than the Mingyue from 'Tian Yuxue'." Nanxing nodded in agreement.

"It's 'Raise the cup to invite the bright moon'. I taught you this before." Lin Mingxuan read out the words one by one towards Nanxing.

"Master, that was so long ago. I forgot."

"Nanxing has things he is good at. Look, this hot pot rack was made by him. It's much better than being able to recite a poem." Ding Xirui helped explain.

"Thank you, young master. Thank you for celebrating your birthday so that we can enjoy this delicious meal." Nanxing was afraid that Lin Mingxuan would say something to laugh at him again, so he quickly flattered him.

"Eat yours." Lin Mingxuan gave him a glare.

After a day's work, everyone was very hungry and had great appetites. After finishing all the dishes on the table, Ding Xirui put the noodles he had made in the afternoon into the soup pot.

"That's it, it's all thanks to the young master." Ding Xirui said.

"Hahahahaha."

The room was bustling with activity.

After finishing the meal and cleaning up, it was already past midnight. Although the weather was cold, Ding Xirui took Lin Mingxuan for a walk in the yard.

A crescent moon appeared in the western sky, and in the distance, stars were shining.

"Today is your birthday. Did you buy yourself a casserole?" Ding Xirui said with a smile.

"Of course not. I just happened to pass by Li Yunru's store and wanted to go in and take a look." Lin Mingxuan replied.

"So, you were fooled into buying a pot?"

"Li Yunru's mother is so amazing. If you go there and don't buy something, you'll feel embarrassed."

"Huh? Is it really that powerful?"

"Do not lie to you."

The two men walked to the gate of the courtyard and then turned back.

"Are you happy today?" She took a step closer to him and asked softly.

"Yeah." He reached out and put his arm around her shoulders.
