A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

The bamboo shoot pancakes and scallion pancakes are a little slow to make, but there are not many pancakes and they work efficiently. After the last pot of tofu buns is put into the pot, they start frying the pancakes on another stove.

In order to put more cakes in, Shen Wu moved the fire to the sides of the stove and only put some small firewood in the middle.

The bottom in the middle is too low. It would be a waste if we only put a pot that big. It would also delay the work.

The pancakes were almost as big as two adult hands. After Shen Wu washed his hands and lubricated the pot with lard, he quickly put the bamboo shoots into the pot first. These were wrapped first, so they had to be cooked first.

After the first pancake was put in, she used the oil at the bottom of the pan to wipe the pan again with the pancake. This was to allow the lard to fully contact the pancake and the pan.

The second and third pancakes did not need to be put in the same way. The three pancakes were placed in three groups and supported each other. Shen Wu used a low heat. In order to speed up the process, she covered the pot and estimated the time in her mind.

"Let me light the fire, you eat some buns first."

Gu Zhou didn’t know how to do this, so he had to help from the side and only spoke after he saw her put on the lid of the pot.

"No, let's eat together. This one will take three or four minutes to flip over. Once the other pot is steamed, we will have two pots to cook. This way it will be faster."

As Shen Wu spoke, she picked up two buns from the chopping board. When she was making dumplings, she liked to put a lot of stuffing into them. She also threw seasonings into the stuffing since it didn't cost money. Although the skin of the steamed buns had a certain thickness, they were big and full. The juice from the stuffing seeped into the skin without overflowing, and it was so greasy that it made people hungry.

Shen Wu handed the bun to Gu Zhou, motioning for him to eat it, and then he took a bite himself: "Don't be nervous, I'll test the fire in the first pot, try it on a low heat first. The stuffing inside has already been boiled, so it will be fine as long as the dough is cooked. The fire is strong, so the bun will be cooked quickly."

The buns were too hot for her mouth, and she ate them with a grimace, looking at the roaring fire, not knowing what she was thinking.

Although Gu Zhou was still a child, his skin on his hands was thicker than hers due to years of farm work. Even though his hands felt hot when he held the food, he did not change hands to continue chewing like her did after taking a few bites.

He then took a bite of the bun. It was still delicious with a fragrant aroma, but the filling was too hot, which made him grimace in pain.

Shen Wu was fiddling with the food with his hands. The filling in his mouth was too hot, so he blew on it. After finally swallowing a bite, he saw Gu Zhou also had a strange expression on his face because of the bun.

"Open your mouth, why are you holding it in?" Shen Wu said.

"Yeah," Gu Zhou nodded. He didn't know why, he forgot for a moment, the stuffing in his mouth was too hot, so he opened his mouth to dissipate the heat.

Shen Wu stood up, holding the bun in one hand to prevent it from getting too close to the pot, and with the other hand he lifted the lid of the pot and used chopsticks to turn over the first bun to see what was going on.

The underground fire was so strong that all three pancakes were burnt brown and had crusts on them. She quickly used chopsticks to scrape the bottoms out and turned them over, then covered the pot again.

Although she is socially anxious, that is outwardly directed. She is sometimes quite talkative in front of people she knows. She sat down and continued to eat her buns while talking to Gu Zhou next to her.

"Making pancakes is very simple." Shen Wu took a bite of the bun, chewed it, and swallowed it, and continued: "When the bottom side is browned and has flower-like patterns, you can turn it over. When both sides have patterns, you can remove it from the pan."

"Of course, if you are not sure, press the dough with something or your hand. If it bounces back, it is cooked through. If it does not bounce back, it is cooked on the outside but still raw on the inside. If the dough is too burnt, put some water around the pot and wait a while."

She kept talking while eating. In modern times, she would talk to herself, but in ancient times, with such a well-behaved child beside her, Shen Wu started talking unconsciously.
