"Sister-in-law, you haven't added the alkaline noodles yet, and you need to use warm water to knead the dough."

"Oh, yes, I forgot about it." Guan Lei frantically searched around on the kitchen dish rack. She saw a plastic bag containing white powder and guessed that it should be alkaline noodles. She grabbed a handful and prepared to throw it in.

"Sister-in-law, this is not alkaline noodles." Zhao Mei quickly stopped her, "This is soda."

Guan Lei was so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She really regretted not learning it at home. She knew very well that women have to cook after they get married.

Seeing that she really didn't know how to do it, Zhao Mei sighed, closed the door and whispered, "Forget it, sister-in-law. I guess you haven't cooked much before. Let me help you. I'll teach you if I have the chance in the future. Soda flour and baking soda are actually very easy to distinguish. If you touch it, the soda flour has a granular feel, while baking soda feels powdery."

Guan Lei tried it and found it was true.

"It's not that bad actually. We have a noodle press at home, but it just happened to break down these few days. We took it to be repaired, and you won't have to roll noodles anymore. It was a hassle when I first got married. There were nearly ten people in their family, and rolling noodles once was exhausting."

Zhao Mei moved swiftly.

Guan Lei felt it was necessary to have a good relationship with Zhao Mei. After all, not to mention that this woman would be rich in the future, she could help her a lot even now.

She thought for a moment and took off the silver earrings on her ears. They were made for her by her mother at a silversmith when she was performing in a play this year. There were delicate roses on them.

"Zhao Mei, if you don't mind, you can wear these earrings."

Zhao Mei was stunned, waving her sticky hands, and said, "How can I take something so valuable from you? Put it on now."

"It's okay, it's okay. I wanted to give it to you yesterday, but I was too busy yesterday and didn't have the chance. We are sisters now, so what's the harm in giving you a gift? Besides, you've been helping me all the time." Guan Lei stuffed the earrings into Zhao Mei's pocket.

"Oh, it's just rolling some dough, it's nothing." Zhao Mei kneaded the dough diligently and pointed at the window. "They should still be sleeping, but you should help keep an eye on them, don't let my mom see them."

Guan Lei smiled and said, "See, everything is fine. I think our mom is a very nice person, very gentle."

Zhao Mei was obviously stunned for a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay, but, you are too controlling."

"That's a lot like my mom. My mom also likes to be in charge."

Zhao Mei, who was quick and nimble, quickly rolled out the dough and then helped cut the potatoes and cabbage. She originally wanted to help stir-fry the臊子, but He He seemed to wake up and was crying in the side room. She carefully explained the next steps to Guan Lei and went to coax the child.

"Remember, you must add some seasoning when frying the臊子, otherwise it will have a fishy smell. Take out the臊子 after frying it. When making soup, put tomatoes first, boil water, beat eggs, add salt and vinegar, and finally boil water again."

"Okay, I've written it down."

Guan Lei brought all the noodles to the main room and was already sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Not to mention the complicated steps of making noodles, just scooping up the noodles almost made her die on the spot. The noodles rolled by Zhao Mei were too chewy, and when she scooped them up with chopsticks, they fell into the pot. In desperation, she had to use a large colander to scoop up the soup and wipe the soup off the outside of the bowl with a rag. In short, she was in a mess.

And under Zhao Yang's instructions, she went to the kitchen to get vinegar and oil to pour on the chili peppers, and some garlic.

Zhao Yang's father Zhao Hongcai picked up the meal without saying a word, and others also started to pick up their chopsticks.

Zhao Lan frowned after taking just one bite and said, "How can I eat something so bland? Is there no salt at home?"

"Don't we have pickles?" Zhao Mei said as she fed the child, "It tastes just right in the bowl."

"That's your way of eating. I don't like eating like this." Zhao Lan put down her chopsticks.

"Leilei, go help Lanlan get the salt." Zhao Yang took a bite of noodles and said vaguely, "She has always had a strong taste. When you cook next time, remember to put more salt in her bowl."

Guan Lei was very angry.

As a reborn person, she knew what kind of person Zhao Lan was. Apart from anything else, how could a 24-year-old leftover woman who had not yet married be a good person?

She remembered that her sister seemed to have mentioned vaguely before that Zhao Lan had a bad reputation, but she didn't say what it was specifically.

But Zhao Yang dotes on his younger sister quite a bit. Every time he comes back from the county town, he buys her clothes, skin care products, etc.

Why should she serve such a person?

She pretended not to hear and continued eating.

"Hey?" Zhao Lan shouted arrogantly, "Didn't you hear what my brother said?"

Zhao Mei couldn't stand it anymore. She had always had a bad relationship with her sister. The two of them had been quarreling since they were young. Today, she accepted Guan Lei's earrings, so she became even more on her side.

"Look at you, you're already 24 years old, but you're still so disrespectful. My sister-in-law is new, is it your turn to order her around?"

Feng Zhuanhong glared at Zhao Mei and gave her a look that said "you just know how to be disloyal".

Zhao Lan was not to be outdone: "Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say anything to you. Besides, you're already married. This is our family's business. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Say it again." Zhao Mei's eyes widened.

"Why shouldn't I say anything? You're already married, and you keep going back to your parents' home. I guess you don't even know how the villagers laugh at you."

"What about you? You're not married yet, and I don't even know how many babies you're pregnant with..."

"Zhao Mei!" Zhao Yang scolded.

Guan Lei was so happy that she listened to their family gossip with her ears perked up and prayed that the two of them would talk more.

It turns out that the bad reputation my sister was talking about was referring to this!

Zhao Lan appears to be pure and innocent on the surface, but she is actually a slut at heart.

She chuckled in her heart and looked down on Zhao Lan even more.

But as the future mother of the family, she still said in a sister-in-law-like manner: "Zhao Mei and Zhao Lan, you two should stop arguing. You are sisters, so don't hurt the harmony."

Zhao Lan didn't appreciate it at all, because Zhao Mei had exposed her shortcomings. She was furious at the moment and cursed even more harshly.

Keep going, keep going, more and more.

Guan Lei screamed in her heart.

The only thing that surprised her was that Zhao Hongcai was like a deaf person, not affected at all, and continued to eat with big mouthfuls.

"Stop arguing, are you two afraid that I will live two more days? You quarrel every day, making the house a mess." Feng Zhuanxia threw down the dishes and chopsticks and said loudly, "It's just a trivial matter, is it worth it for the two of you to expose each other's shortcomings like this? Zhao Lan, if you want to add salt, do it yourself!"

Zhao Lan kicked the stool away, snorted and went out.

Guan Lei was so touched!

She is really the best mother-in-law in the world!

She wanted to go back home quickly and tell her mother all this.
