Xu Si was already busy in the kitchen.

She went out late today, so the good meat must have been sold out, so she didn't plan to buy any. However, many dishes, if cooked well, taste just as good as meat.

Simmer the rice first, and Xu Si washes the vegetables.

She planned to make braised winter melon, cold shredded potato, stir-fried water spinach and leek dumplings.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?"

Since Xu Si and the others came back, Lou Yuexin has not returned to the house and came to the kitchen to help.

Xu Si noticed that she kept looking at him and smiling, which was weird, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Mom just feels that Achen seems to have grown up and can actually help to carry things." She felt a little emotional. Achen had never helped her to carry things before, although the maids had always done it for her before.

However, seeing that the two have a good relationship, she, as a mother, is naturally happy. She is not like other mothers-in-law who would be jealous of their sons being nice to their daughters-in-law. To her, as long as the two of them live a good life, nothing else matters.

Xu Si smiled and said nothing, thinking that they were too doting on their children. But she couldn't quite understand why they were so pleased when she mentioned something.

But she also knew that she couldn't say that.

Throughout the ages, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a major problem.

Although her mother was very kind to her, she was Shen Yanchen's biological mother after all. Compared to her, an outsider, she would naturally be more biased towards him.

We should always be careful in everything we do. It's not that she is cold-hearted or ungrateful, it's just that people's hearts are different.

"Second sister-in-law, do we want to eat the fried shredded potatoes we had last time?" Qing Huan asked when she saw Xu Si cutting shredded potatoes. She liked the crispy texture.

"No, this time it's for cold dishes."

Qinghuan nodded, she also liked the cold dish.

"There are many ways to eat potatoes. I think they are delicious no matter how they are cooked. In addition to steaming, boiling, stir-frying and serving cold, they can also be fried and roasted..."

Xu Si narrated slowly, "When I have time, I will make you some potato towers or potato chips."

She herself is a little greedy. She used to think that fried food was unhealthy, but now she thinks that anything oily is good and that there is still room for her body to gain weight.

Qi Ning felt that his second aunt knew a lot of delicious food. In his little eyes, she was simply the most amazing person. He looked at her with admiration.

First blanch the shredded potatoes and carrots, drain, sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions, pour hot oil on them, add seasonings and vinegar after the aroma comes out, and mix well.

Today's vinegar is made from real ingredients without a drop of water, and has a very strong vinegar flavor.

Make a cross on the bottom of the winter melon and cut it into small pieces. Put some lard from the last time you fried the pork belly in a casserole, pour in the winter melon and fry slowly, add the scallions and star anise and stir-fry until fragrant, add the prepared sauce, simmer for a certain period of time, add some of the liquid that has settled at the bottom when washing the shredded potatoes, and when the sauce is almost thickened, add a handful of chopped scallions.

When Xu Si washed the shredded potatoes for the first time, he was already paying attention to making the starch.

Put the liquid at the bottom under the sun to dry, and finally crush it into fine powder. That's it.

Seeing Qi Ning looking at him eagerly, Xu Si chuckled, took out a small piece, blew it cool and fed it to him.

Qi Ning thanked him obediently. When frying the fish that time, he found that as long as he stayed in the kitchen, he could have the good fortune of tasting the delicious food made by his second aunt in advance. He liked to stick to Xu Si more and more.

"It looks like meat," he said with puffy cheeks. He had been staying in the kitchen the whole time. He knew that no meat was cooked today, but he still squinted his eyes in satisfaction, like a sated kitten.

The others also nodded. If they hadn't been here all the time, just by smelling the smell, although it was not as fragrant as braised pork, they would have thought it was meat.

"Mom, can I use a few eggs today?" Xu Si asked for advice. After all, eggs are considered a precious thing nowadays.

"Use it, it's at your own disposal. If you don't use it anymore, it won't be new anymore." Lou Yuexin waved her hand. Ever since she saw how hard her husband and son worked, she felt that she couldn't skimp on food, otherwise her health would collapse and it wouldn't be worth it.

There were only 5 eggs, but there were 8 people in the family, so Xu Si simply fried all the eggs, chopped them into fine pieces, added chopped chives, and seasonings for later use.

It would be better if there were some small shrimps, it would definitely be more delicious, Xu Si felt a little regretful.

Divide the dough that has been proofed for a while into small portions, roll them out and wrap the fillings. Qinghuan and Lou Yuexin, seeing that it is easy, also help to wrap them, making sure the fillings do not come out.

If you shape it into a semicircle, it will be a box; if you wrap it into a round shape, it will be a pie. Put it in the pan and fry it slowly, press it slightly, and fry until both sides are golden brown, then take it out.

Until the end, Xu Si will be responsible for frying.

After Qinghuan and Lou Yuexin became proficient, they wrapped the dumplings quickly and well, and soon made a large basin of dumplings.

Xu Si fried the water spinach in the oil pan without wasting any of it.

Although thriftiness is a virtue, being thrifty when you are forced to do so is somewhat pathetic.

In the afternoon, Xu Si turned the soil again, poured some water, and began to sow the seeds.

Shen Yanchen came back with the meal, and seemed to be afraid that he would be ordered to do things again. In a blink of an eye, no one knew where he ran away.

For the 8 square meters of land, I planted one square meter each of lettuce, pumpkin, cucumber, and beans, and the remaining 4 square meters was planted with the mixed seeds in the bag. I didn't know how much to plant, but I just scattered them randomly, doing whatever I wanted.

In the evening, I made three kinds of vegetables, smashed cucumber and shredded carrot pancakes, and I also cooked some porridge in case it was not enough.

"A Si, can mom discuss something with you?" Lou Yuexin brought up the topic while everyone was still at the table.

"Mom, tell me."

"Just look, everyone enjoys the food you cook. The food Jin Yue and I cook is not tasty enough."

So? You're not going to ask me to be responsible for cooking from now on?

Xu Si's heart skipped a beat. It is one thing to like cooking, but it is another to cook it every day.

"So, I was thinking, can Jinyue and I take turns to cook the morning meals in the future, and you can be responsible for lunch and dinner, and we will help you. If you have something to do, we will also take over. Of course, you don't have to wash the pot."

This was something she and Su Jinyue had discussed in advance. Considering the health of the people working, they wanted them to eat well.

No one is tired of cooking every day, especially for so many people. The only thing they can do is to take over other jobs, but I wonder if Ah Si will agree.

Although the others were surprised by this topic, they also pricked up their ears. Deep down, they naturally hoped that Xu Si would agree. No one could escape the temptation of delicious food.

Xu Si was thinking frantically in her mind. In this way, she could get up a little later in the morning and not have to wash the pot.

"Okay, I agree."

Everyone was very happy.

"Please put the ingredients you need in your account and I will reimburse you at the end of each month." Lou Yuexin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Got it, mother."

Xu Si thought this was a good idea. After all, he was the chef. Wouldn’t it be a great benefit if he could cook a few of his favorite dishes for every meal?
