A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu turned the clothes inside out and weakly used the needle and thread in his hand to sew the clothes. The rain outside was falling intermittently and it had not been sunny for five or six days. If it continued like this, the house would collapse.

Gu Zhou heard her sigh and stopped weaving the mattress: "I estimate that the rain will not stop for a few days. If you feel bored..." He didn't know what to say, so he paused and said: "When the rain stops, let's go for a walk in the fields."

"Thank you." Shen Wu curled her lips helplessly. She was not annoyed, it was... a habit.

In the past, she had a lot of things to do and her family members were unwilling to help. She had to work herself to the point of crying from exhaustion and then be lectured. Gradually, she got used to sighing to herself. Actually, it was nothing, she just suddenly returned to her old habits.

Gu Zhou's mattress was already woven to the point where only a little bit was left. Fortunately, it was raining and he was stuck at home and unable to go out. He made a little bit every day, and after three or four days, it was almost finished.

Shen Wu has also made shoes these days, and has also prepared all the winter inner clothes. The one in his hand is a double-layer outer coat that is stuffed with cattails. Since the style is the same as the inner coat, both are Chinese double-breasted styles, it was made very smoothly. It’s just that the seams are a bit troublesome to divide into small pieces. But because it is double-layered, there is no need to sew on the front and back to hide the rough edges. It only needs to be sewn once.

She looked at the still thick water outside, shook her stiff fingers, picked up the needle again and started to move it in a straight line little by little.

To save trouble, Shen Wu only walked on the horizontal line and did not make small squares. Anyway, as long as he could keep warm and not run out, it would be fine.

The two were speechless for a moment, each lowering their heads and doing the work in their hands seriously.

Xiaowei knew that her older brothers and sisters were very busy, so she concentrated on playing with her younger brother on the bed. She couldn't sew clothes or knit like her older brothers. Her older brothers and sisters were busy now, so she wanted to help them take care of her younger brother and not cause them any trouble!

Time always flies when you are working hard. When Shen Wu finished sewing the front of the dress and buttons on the placket, and just needed to tuck it in, she realized that a long time had passed and she felt a little hungry.

Normally, Shen Wu could tell the time by looking at the position of the sun, but now that it has been cloudy and rainy, he can't tell what time it is at all.

Anyway, she would cook when she was hungry. She put the clothes she had prepared on the backpack and rushed to the kitchen carrying the small backpack to protect her from the rain.

She has been eating white flour and white rice every time these days. It’s not that she is extravagant, but mainly because she doesn’t buy anything else.

When she woke up, she drank something like brown rice soup, which was the best treatment at home. Gu Zhou was still drinking a vegetable porridge soup, which was very thin and looked like the fat-reducing soup she cooked when she was losing weight.

She had always deliberately ignored the inferior items in the store when buying food. It was not because she was a modern person who could not adapt to ancient life, but mainly because the children in her family were too thin. She made sure to buy white rice and refined rice when she could go to the town to buy things. She had only seen such dark and thin bodies on children who were donated to poor children in the mountains.

She and Gu Zhou had already earned a few taels of silver from selling buns, which at least allowed them to survive the winter. She was not afraid of death or hardship, but she was afraid of having no money.

Shen Wu planned to make wild vegetable pancakes today. This wild vegetable was a bit like the noodles she had eaten in modern times. It tasted similar and looked similar, but... the growing season was different. This wild vegetable was also larger than the ones she had eaten in modern times.

At first, she was very surprised when Gu Zhou brought it back. After all, she had only seen this in spring. After learning that this dish is available almost all year round and that Gu Zhou's family often eats it, she ate it with confidence. The taste was surprisingly the same as the modern ones, and she even had the illusion that it tasted better than the modern ones.

Shen Wu washed the vegetables and cut them into pieces as small as 0.5 cm wide. The two chickens at home didn't lay any eggs, and there were no eggs at home, so she added some chopped green onions, salt and the cut noodles and vegetables into the batter.

She made the batter after breakfast, and she left it to rise to make it delicious. Now she just needs to stir it slightly and put it in the pan to make pancakes.

Shen Wu didn't know why noodle dishes were called noodle dishes, but the elders in the family once said that it was called that because it looked like homemade noodles.

Shen Wu put the batter aside and waited. She also made some noodles to make noodle soup. The family only bought a lot of white flour, so there was nothing else to eat.

Some salt was added to the batter, but since the two pheasants that were caught at home had not laid eggs yet, the plan to add eggs was abandoned.

She added the chopped noodles and vegetables into the batter and mixed them well before she started to light the fire.

Shen Wu put a handful of dry grass into the stove to ignite it with a fire starter, and carefully placed the twigs on the dry grass and waited for it to ignite.

Lard is the best vegetarian dish, and it is the only oil available at home. Shen Wu scooped a spoonful of oil into the pot. Perhaps because it was not too hot, she moistened the entire bottom with it before she heard the sizzling sound of the hot oil.

He scooped about a tablespoon of batter with a spatula and put it into the pan. The part that first touched the hot oil formed a lump. Since it was not a frying pan, Shen Wu still needed to manually make the batter even. If the thickness was uneven, it was likely that some parts would be burnt while others would not be cooked through.

The batter cooked slowly over low heat, and the bottom was solidified. Shen Wu took this opportunity to light another stove, added four bowls of water and waited for it to boil.

On the other stove, they were preparing to make dumpling soup later. She closed the lid and it was time to flip the pancakes here.

A spatula definitely cannot flip the pancake, so Shen Wu held the chopsticks in one hand and used the back of the spatula with the other hand to help, and with a little force he flipped the pancake over.

The low-heat pancakes are simply perfect, with the slightly browned color intertwined with the tender green noodles and vegetables, growing together on the slightly yellowed dough. Combined with the aroma of lard in the air, it is simply captivating.

She made a lot of batter. It was a rainy day and the batter was cool so there was no need to worry about it going bad. Most of the batter could be made into pancakes.

Shen Wu picked up the cooked pancake with chopsticks and put it in a bowl, then added a little bit of oil to the pan, and impatiently put another spoonful of batter in and spread it evenly.

The first reason she put in more lard at the beginning was to lubricate the pan and secondly because she was afraid that the batter would stick too much to the bottom of the pan. She could have added oil normally afterwards or even not added any.

When three pancakes were out, the water in the other stove was boiling. She put the dough she had prepared in advance into the pot and stirred it slightly to prevent it from sticking together and forming big lumps.

She was very busy here, and Gu Zhou was also very busy and had no time to pay attention.

He wanted to weave the mattress she mentioned during the rainy day, but once the rain stopped, he would have other things to do and the mattress might not be finished early.

Autumn is about to pass. In the past few years, the weather got cold very quickly and the mattresses had to be dried in the sun for some days after they were woven before they could be used. But now that they are made these days and dried in the sun for half a month, they can be used in winter.

Shen Wu worked in the kitchen for nearly an hour and finally made all the pancakes. The soup cooked the fastest, so the fire was turned off early and it was left in the pot to prevent the pancakes from getting cold before they were done.

Now I bring the pancakes in the bowl to the kitchen. The rain in the yard is drizzling and it seems like it will stop soon.
