A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu felt that she might have been too tired yesterday, which caused her to fall asleep as soon as she returned to the house after making the dough and hanging the fish. She lit the oil lamp as usual and went to the kitchen to prepare the stuffing, and saw Gu Zhou cutting bamboo shoots in the house.

"Get up so early?" Putting the oil lamp in her hand on the table, Shen Wu washed her hands and went to help. There were a few bamboo shoots left from the bamboo shoots she dug up yesterday. Not much, so she thought about it and decided not to make buns. She would use the little bit to bake some pie this morning to try it out.

There was a lot of dough to be kneaded, so she started by wrapping the tofu that she would use later.

The bamboo shoots were cut and blanched as usual, then taken out and left to cool. The blanching was very light, and she took them out almost as soon as they changed color.

Gu Zhou didn't understand what she was going to do, so he came over to help people scoop out the fish with a bamboo colander.

"I'll mix the bamboo shoots later. Can you please wash and chop all the green onions at home? We'll try making stuffed pancakes later."

Shen Wu really did whatever she thought of. Fortunately, there were not many bamboo shoots, so Gu Zhou went along with her. As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Zhou found the green onions standing upright in the corner and started peeling them.

The wild onions were very flavorful. Gu Zhou's face was covered with tears as he washed and cut them into pieces. He didn't move, only the sound of the knife hitting the chopping board.

"You...? Ah!" Shen Wu was originally preparing the oil base for the scallion pancakes, waiting for the scallions to be ready, mixing them, and then marinating them for a while before wrapping them in the pancakes. But when she turned around and saw Gu Zhou's tear-stained face, she suddenly realized that the taste of this wild scallion was extremely strong.

"Hurry up and take a break and wash up!" The oil was ready just in time, so she rushed over and pinned Gu Zhou down when he hit her face with his arm. After removing the knife, she pulled the man's arm to the door.

"Follow me, let's go wash our faces." She took a bucket of water, wet the towel on the shelf, and then wiped the man's face carefully.

Gu Zhou was like a puppet being manipulated and was extremely obedient. Shen Wu wiped his face and then wiped his eyes several times before asking tentatively: "Try opening your eyes?"

Gu Zhou tried to open his eyes and indeed he no longer felt uncomfortable. Shen Wu washed the towel and put it back, apologizing: "I'm sorry, I forgot that the smell of wild onions is strong in this season and it hurts my eyes. If I had known, I would have washed the knife for you before letting you do it."

Gu Zhou didn't think it was a big deal, but her apology made it seem like a big deal.

"It's okay...it's my fault for forgetting. Wild onions are just so strong sometimes in this season."

He had just finished cutting the green onions and was curious about the pancakes she was going to make, so he asked, "How do you make this green onion?"

Shen Wu took the sauce he had just prepared and explained: "This is a sauce made from lard, soy sauce, salt and pepper. We will mix them together before wrapping them and fry them into pancakes. They will be salty and fragrant."

Gu Zhou had never eaten anything like hers and was quite curious about the taste. After hearing what she said, he put the chopped onions into an unused bowl and kept them for later use.

There was no need to vent the air for the time being. Shen Wu glanced outside and asked him, "Do you want to get the tofu now?" She couldn't tell the time by the sky, but with so many people coming, she had a vague idea of ​​it.

Gu Zhou turned off the fire in the stove and extinguished it in the ashes, then picked up the two backpacks carrying tofu and said, "Let's go." He knew she would definitely go.

"OK!" Shen Wu happily took the backpack and went out with him.

Oukei? What is that? Gu Zhou was puzzled by what she said sometimes. If it was at the beginning, he would have suspected this person's origin and intention, but she was confident. No matter how outrageous and strange it was, the changes in her body could not be deceptive.

.........

"I'm not sure whether the tofu buns can be sold. What if people don't like them? Or I should make less and keep some tofu for myself to fry when I come back?" As Shen Wu walked, she had completely adapted to the dimness of the ancient mornings and could clearly see where the road was in the dark.

Gu Zhou was more confident than her. The filling of the tofu buns she made was so well seasoned, and the oily juice came through the skin. Anyone who saw it would want to try it.

"Don't worry, it's okay. If you can't finish it, we can take it back and eat it ourselves," Gu Zhou comforted her. The two of them talked and walked, and soon they arrived at Uncle Li's place to get the tofu.

It was quick to get the tofu. Uncle Li had already prepared it and was waiting for people to come. Gu Zhou had already counted the money and handed it to the uncle, and Shen Wu was helping to put the tofu on the side.

On the way back, Shen Wu sighed deeply, feeling that her actions during this period were simply going crazy. She didn't expect that something even crazier would be waiting for her when she was selling buns today.

"Why sigh?"

Gu Zhou's way of speaking sometimes doesn't seem like a ten-year-old child at all. Shen Wu thought about how children in ancient times had to take charge of the family early, and how rich men of Gu Zhou's age were all married, so he naturally spoke in the same way.

"I feel like I've been too proud recently. I dared to place such a large order to sell tofu. If there is any problem, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

"It's okay. If we can't sell it, we can bring it back and give it to Aunt and the others to try."

Gu Zhou's words made Shen Wu feel less nervous for a moment. As a modern person, she was not as open-minded as Gu Zhou, an ancient man.

After returning to the kitchen, Shen Wu and Gu Zhou started to get busy. Gu Zhou began to cut the tofu into small pieces, while Shen Wu prepared some juice. The two of them worked faster when they worked together.

"When we get back today and have some free time, let's go pick some more Sichuan peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns. For daily use, this amount will be a lot," Shen Wu said as he looked at the almost empty jar of double pepper powder.

Gu Zhou nodded in agreement.

He has been cutting more tofu these days and his speed has increased a lot. In less than five minutes, he has cut a whole pot of tofu.

Shen Wu had already prepared the sauce and was boiling water. As soon as he finished, the two of them put the tofu into the water and waited for it to boil.

This step was to remove the bean smell from the tofu. Although fresh tofu does not need this, if the tofu is well made, the tofu will only have the bean fragrance. But Shen Wu wanted to try the effect of making the filling after soaking it in water, and compare the two.

As soon as the tofu started to boil, the two of them took it out and put it in the basin of sauce prepared by Shen Wu. Taking advantage of the heat of the tofu, Shen Wu scooped a few spoonfuls of lard on it. The tofu was very hot, and the lard slowly melted as it was put on.

She and Gu Zhou mixed the tofu together and took a piece for Gu Zhou to taste.

Gu Zhou tasted a piece and found the taste was a little bland.

Shen Wu also picked up one and put it in his mouth. It was indeed a little bland, so he quickly added some light soy sauce and chili powder, and another spoonful of lard.

This time the taste was finally right, and the two couldn't wait to start making dumplings.

The two of them made the dumplings very quickly. After Gu Zhou let out his anger, he began to roll out the dough. Since he was making dumplings first and had rolled out the dough countless times, he was naturally very adept at it.

Shen Wu was wrapping the buns on the side. The two of them were very fast and quickly finished wrapping a pot of buns.

Because she was willing to put stuffing in, she put in one third of the pot of buns, and estimated that it would take about three pots to finish all of them.

There are two stoves at home, and they assume that two pots of buns should be used for each steaming. So the two of them worked on it until they finished making the second pot and put it in.

The water in the pot had already been boiled and was bubbling. Shen Wu covered the lid and returned. The two of them finished making the last pot of buns.

The remaining dough is for frying pancakes. Wrap the ones with bamboo shoots filling first because the pancakes are small and the filling is small. Make the ones with bamboo shoots filling first because there is not much filling. After making about ten of them, change them to scallion pancakes.

Fortunately, I made a lot of dough, filling a whole basin, which was as big as a child’s bath tub.

In the end, Shen Wu made all the remaining scallion pancakes. Gu Zhou had never seen or eaten this before, so after rolling out the pancake dough as she requested, he also learned how to make them.

Gu Zhou was indeed an old hand at the job. He only watched it a few times and tried it once before he made something that looked almost the same as Shen Wu's.
