She closed the lid again. She had already had experience, so she waited for a while before opening the lid again, waiting for the water at the bottom of the pot to evaporate.

She took out the first pot of four golden vegetable cakes and put them in a larger bowl.

"Why don't you wash your hands and eat first?"

Gu Zhou shook his head: "No, I'm not hungry yet. Let me cook it so we can eat together." After he said that, he pushed his younger brother to sit on the bamboo chair, quickly washed his hands and came back.

"I'll help you get out of the water."

He hooked his younger brother to the stove, picked up the ladle and scooped water into the basin where the buns were placed.

I didn’t bring the jar from the main room, so I put it in a basin and pour the rice in later. I made the rice porridge first.

"Don't put it in directly, wash it twice with water." Shen Wu put the second pot of pancakes in and covered it without forgetting to remind Gu Zhou.

"Yeah, I know." Gu Zhou naturally knew that it had to be washed with water. Sometimes the rice he bought would have dust on it, and the porridge he made would have heavy water at the bottom, which would always irritate his throat.

He scooped a spoonful of water and put half a spoonful into the mortar. He used the pestle to shake out the dust inside and then washed it again before putting the broken rice into the pot.

He put the lid back on and put some firewood into the stove. When he was done, he grabbed his younger brother's bamboo chair.

Shen Wu turned over the second pot and felt a little hungry when she saw the green color showing through the golden burnt surface.

Making pancakes is a tiring job. You have to keep the fire burning and keep an eye on the pancakes in the pan, for fear that one side will be burnt and inedible. That would be a shame.

Shen Wu paid full attention to the pot. If the food bounces back when pressed, it is cooked. In fact, one can also judge whether the vegetable filling inside is raw or not by this method.

Shen Wu put five in one pot. Fortunately, the bottom of the pot was so pointed and the slope was not so steep. Although it was a bit risky to put five in, it was fine as long as he changed the positions frequently.

As his proficiency in making pancakes improved, his speed also increased. Shen Wu quickly flipped and moved the pancakes in the pan, changing their positions several times to prevent the bottom from getting burnt.

Gu Zhou focused on the pot and his younger brother. He had some experience in making rice soup.

Shen Wu fried all the ones with fillings and placed them in a pot, and what were left were a dozen plain cakes without fillings.

She still put five in. This takes a little longer than the vegetable pancake. It is cooked as long as it bounces back when pressed.

Gu Zhou and she were annealing the pancakes at about the same time. When both sides of her last pot were golden brown, she annealed it, so he also stopped.

If you cook the broken rice porridge for a longer time, it will become thicker and more convenient for me to drink.

"I'll take this bowl over first, and you can just simmer the soup." Shen Wu hurriedly walked along the wall toward the main room with a bowl of pancakes.

She walked carefully across the slippery floor into the main room, put the things on the table, took a small jar on the short wooden board beside her and went to the kitchen.

There was still some water in it, which felt heavy to hold. She could use it to wash her hands. As she passed the kitchen basin, she splashed the water out into the vegetable garden and poured the water from the jar into it.

"Please look after my younger brother first. I'll fetch the water and put it in the main room. I'll come back to clean up later." Shen Wu quickly took the ladle and poured water into the pot, not noticing that Gu Zhou was cleaning the chopping board behind him.

When she finished and turned around, she found that he had already swept the flour clean and the chopping board was standing up.

"You..." Shen Wu didn't know what to say, his face was full of emotion. This child is so sensible.

Gu Zhou moved his younger brother to another place and said awkwardly, "It just so happened that I had nothing to do, so I just cleaned it up."

"Thank you for the trouble. Go get some water first." Shen Wu took the jar and went to the main room. The floor was very slippery. She was worried that she would fall every time she passed by.

Shen Wu put the jar back to its original place and happened to run into Gu Wei who came out rubbing her eyes.

"Sister," Gu Wei muttered softly while standing at the door of the side room.

"You've woken up just in time. It's slippery outside, so be careful when washing your face. I'll go bring the soup over. We'll be eating soon." After giving the instructions, Shen Wu hurried back to the kitchen.

Gu Zhou was already scooping soup into the soup bowl with a spoon.

When Shen Wu saw the soup, he couldn't help but say, "It's so thick."

Gu Zhou didn't look back and continued to scoop soup into the basin: "I cooked it a little longer, so it will be thicker and taste better." He didn't move the basin on the stove until he had scooped all the soup.

He put a ladle of water into the soup pot and covered it with a lid. Just as he was about to serve the soup, someone got there first.

Shen Wu hurriedly left with the soup, fearing that the soup would cool down quickly if he was too late.

Gu Zhou first carried the younger brother back to the main room, held her down when she wanted to go back, and went to get the dishes and chopsticks.

Shen Wu helped watch over the younger brother who was touching and moving around in the main room, and waited for Gu Zhou to come back and set the table, and Gu Wei also came back after washing her face.

"Wow! It looks delicious!" Gu Wei was now fully awake, and was very excited looking at the yellow cake with green tints on the table.

Gu Zhou brought the younger brother to his side and planned to feed him himself.

Shen Wu thought about it and decided to help distribute the soup. He scooped soup into each bowl and arranged them: "It's not good if it gets cold!"

"You eat first. My rice will take a while to cool down. Let's eat the bread first and then the soup later," Shen Wu said to Gu Zhou.

"Okay." Gu Zhou and Gu Wei took out their chopsticks to pick up the pancakes at the same time, and each of them brought a large pancake that exuded a fragrance in front of their faces.

Since the little brother had a chair to sit on, Gu Zhou didn't have to hold him and could eat well.

Children have a sense of smell. When they smell a good smell, they get so anxious as if they have been hungry for years, and they frantically grab their brother's hand.

Gu Zhou gently pushed it away: "No, you are too young."

Gu Wei took a big bite.

The tip of her tongue felt painful from the burn from the pancake, but she was still unwilling to let go. She opened her mouth to dissipate the heat and chewed quickly a few times while the pancake wasn't paying attention.

"Hmm, hmm, that's great!" Gu Wei swallowed the slightly warmer cake in her mouth and made an excited sound of eating delicious food.

Shen Wu felt the pancake was too hot before he even took a bite, and quickly reminded the two people: "Be careful, this pancake is very hot. Blow on it more when eating to avoid getting burned."

"it is good"

"Uh-huh"

Gu Zhou gently bit a hole in it, and the ultimate onion aroma rushed into his nose and mouth.

It turns out that it can be cooked this way and it tastes so good! Gu Zhou seemed to have tasted some new delicacy. Even though it was too hot, he didn't want to let it go and took a bite of it in a few bites.

Gu Wei ate shepherd's purse, which was so delicious that she ate the first cake in one gulp, and then hurriedly took another one.

After breakfast, Gu Wei helped look after her younger brother, while Shen Wu and Gu Zhou went to the kitchen.

Gu Zhou took the lead in taking on the job of washing the dishes. Shen Wu didn't want to just stand there and watch, so he went to wash the pot.

Shen Wu had an easy job and quickly finished washing the pot. Since he had nothing else to do, he took the picked yellow shepherd's purse leaves and left the kitchen, heading towards the woodpile where the two pheasants were tied.

She threw the food in her hand over and stayed away from the two of them.

It wasn’t because we weren’t afraid of catching them before, but because we were afraid after catching them, we weren’t afraid anymore, so we dared to catch them.

But that doesn't mean she is not afraid of chickens. On the contrary, she is very afraid. The experience of being chased and pecked by a rooster when she was a child seems to be still vivid in her mind, but she can't remember how young she was. It's just that the memory of being chased by a chicken in the past suddenly emerged in her memory.
