A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

The temperature has been rising recently, so Shen Wu moved the table out of the main room before the sun sets.

I filled a basin with water and found a soft cloth to clean it completely from inside to outside.

"Jiang Yu! There's a lot of smoke coming out of the pot!" Gu Wei shouted in the kitchen, fearing that something might go wrong with the pot.

Shen Wu put down the dirty cloth in his hand, walked over, looked at the steaming pot, and said with a smile: "It's okay, steaming buns requires this much steam, otherwise they won't taste good."

As she spoke, she picked up another branch from the ground and rummaged into the stove. A piece of dough that was gray on the outside and almost burnt in some places was ready.

"If you're hungry, eat this first!" Shen Wu flicked off the ashes on the noodles and put them on a wooden block to cool. "The noodles are still a little hot. Wait a minute and eat them after they cool down a bit."

"Is this edible?" Gu Wei was a little hesitant to eat it, as it didn't look like something edible.

Anyway, after finishing the work outside, Shen Wu returned to the kitchen to continue watching the fire and demonstrated to Gu Wei how to eat this thing.

After it cooled a little, Shen Wu broke the dough in the middle, broke off a small piece, took a big bite, and it tasted exactly the same as when he was a child.

"Look what you can eat." After eating, Shen Wu opened his mouth wide to show Gu Wei that his mouth was clean.

Gu Wei took the dough and wanted to feed it to her younger brother first, but Shen Wu quickly stopped her: "Your younger brother is still young and his teeth are small. He can't eat this. Let's let him eat porridge later."

Gu Wei nodded and put the dough into her mouth. It was delicious! She never thought that baked dough could be so delicious!

After the steam is generated over high heat, it has to be annealed and steamed over low heat. There is no basket at home, so Shen Wu plans to put it in a basin first.

The kitchen was not well ventilated, and the steam was making it a bit stuffy. She asked Gu Wei to hold her brother and go out first while she stayed busy here.

Burning wood is actually very fast, and it won't take long to get the pot out of the pot over a low fire. As he was unsure, Shen Wu let both pots simmer for a while, waiting until the temperature was about the same as outside before taking them out of the pot.

After preparing a large pot, Shen Wu nervously opened the lid. After the steam dissipated, a bunch of white and tender dumplings appeared.

Shen Wu's eyes lit up! It looked like it was a success! But it still depended on whether the buns would stick to the grate.

She gently picked up a bun with chopsticks, not daring to use too much force. Perhaps because the bun was hot, the skin was very soft and the chopsticks almost broke the skin.

Shen Wu tried a different method. He dipped the chopsticks in water and then gently moved the bottom of the bun upwards. This time, the bun was taken out intact.

I found a method that worked for me and in no time I took out all the buns from the pot, without a single broken one.

She then took advantage of the situation and opened another pot and cooked the same thing, then took out all the buns.

Fortunately, the basin was big enough and almost couldn't hold all the buns. Shen Wu didn't have time to waste and quickly brought the basin of hot buns to the table in the yard.

She had previously placed a large wicker basket on top for insulation.

This time, he endured the scalding heat and hurriedly brought over a large bowl of buns.

Gu Wei and her younger brother were sitting on the stools placed by Shen Wu in the yard, smelling the food and still savoring the stir-fried bamboo shoots and noodle soup they had eaten earlier, when they saw Jiang Yu running out with a large basin of something. Their eyes suddenly lit up and they stared at her at the same time.

Shen Wu put the things down and quickly pinched her earlobes to cool her fingertips. The basin was not heat-insulated and her fingertips turned red. It was very hot.

When he turned around to go to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks, he turned back and reminded Gu Wei: "Don't eat yet, it's too hot, wait until it cools down a bit."

By now the sky was gradually getting dark, and the cool breeze made the buns in the yard cool down faster.

Shen Wu went back to the kitchen and first brought out four bowls and then took out four pairs of chopsticks. The buns were still hot, so he used chopsticks to put one into each bowl. Let them cool down first and then they could be eaten.

Then she went back to the kitchen, cleaned all the pots, found out what little rice was left at home, and cooked some very thin rice soup as a preparation.

Of course, there is still hot water on the other stove and it can be used at any time.

As usual, a basin of warm water was brought over. Shen Wu washed his hands first, then took the baby and let Gu Wei wash her hands herself.

With the experience of washing hands last time, Gu Wei learned quickly and washed both hands clean and showed them to Shen Wu.

Shen Wu asked Gu Wei to wipe her hands dry, then tried the buns in her bowl. The temperature was just right for eating, so she let Gu Wei eat first.

Gu Wei looked expectant as she picked up the bun and started to bite into it.

The buns have a soft and sweet skin, and the pork inside is probably grown on food from the mountains, so it has a light fishy smell and your mouth is filled with the aroma of meat.

Because Shen Wu put some fried crispy oil residue in it, in addition to the meat aroma, you can occasionally taste a very special taste.

At this moment, the baby smelled the fragrance wafting from the buns that Gu Wei opened, and also hummed and asked for food.

The child couldn't eat it, so Shen Wu scooped rice soup for him to drink with a spoon.

The child had grown several teeth very quickly. He ate the rice soup that Shen Wu fed him, biting the spoon lightly with his little teeth, and soon asked for more.

Shen Wu was feeding the child when the courtyard door rang.

Gu Zhou pushed the door open and came back carrying a pile of wheat. He saw his sister eating hard in the yard, the "amnesiac" Jiang Yu, and his little brother who was so fed that he stretched out his hands for food.

Gu Zhou was a little dazed for a moment. This kind of warm scene only existed when his parents were still alive.

Gu Zhou put down the wheat he was carrying, took off the sickle and placed it in the corner of the courtyard wall, flicked the dust off his body, and was about to wash his hands in the basin.

"Don't! We washed it!"

When Gu Zhou was called, he thought it was something important.

"It's okay, wash your hands."

Seeing that he didn't mind, Shen Wu said nothing more and continued to feed the baby in her arms.

Gu Zhou washed his hands and face, then sat down at the table. Looking at the pile of buns in the middle basin, he said with delight: "Bulls?!"

"Brother! You know!"

Gu Wei was so focused on eating that she finally managed to say something, but she only managed to say it while stuffing her mouth with a meat bun.

"Well, when you were still young, my father and I went to Liu Town to help out, and we ate here once at the master's house."

Picking up the cooled bun in front of him, Gu Zhou took a big bite. The aroma of meat and the aroma of oil residue rushed into his mouth. The filling was juicy and delicious, the crust was soft, and the crispiness of the oil residue gave him a very magical feeling.

After eating this, Gu Zhou became even more certain that Jiang Yu was some kind of mountain spirit or ghost. She had never been capable of these things before.

He ate the buns, lowered his eyes to suppress the churning thoughts in his chest. Who was she? What was she doing in their house? Did she kidnap her younger brothers and sisters and bring them back to the mountains to eat after getting to know them?

Shen Wu watched Gu Zhou holding the buns and eating them mechanically, his mind clearly wandering.

She stopped and continued to feed the baby, then asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the buns?"

"No...no, I...I was thinking about things in the fields," Gu Zhou found an excuse.

Shen Wu also wanted to bring up this matter, but before he could say anything, Gu Zhou spoke first, "I will go with you tomorrow. I also know how to cut wheat. Two people are always better than one."

Gu Zhou wanted to refuse, but then he thought of something else and agreed: "Okay, then I'll trouble you to take care of your brother at home tomorrow."

Gu Wei was enjoying the meal and responded immediately: "Howl!" She almost filled her mouth with the buns and her voice had a strange tone.

Afraid that Gu Wei would choke, Shen Wu said: "Be careful not to choke, eat slowly, there is still rice soup left in the pot, drink some later to help you eat."
