A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

While steaming the buns, Shen Wu stirred the dough to make salty dumpling soup.

Since the steamed buns have a lot of filling, she plans to put some of it in the salty soup later.

After mixing the dough, Shen Wu put it into the pot with boiling water, and then added half a bowl of stir-fried bamboo shoots and cooked them together.

Gu Zhou continued to make buns. He wanted to catch up while she was busy.

After Shen Wu finished, he turned down the stove to low heat, washed his hands, and came back to wrap it.

This time the second batch of buns came out quickly, but the ones in the pot were not cooked yet, so we had to find something to put the buns in.

There were no other grate at home, so Shen Wu just put it on the empty chopping board.

"The salty dumpling soup is ready. Shall I serve you some? Can you drink some first?" Shen Wu asked as he turned off the fire at the stove.

Gu Zhou shook his head: "I'm not hungry yet. If you are hungry, eat first."

Shen Wu was not too hungry either, so he washed his hands and came back to continue wrapping the buns. The two of them finished wrapping all the buns in one go.

"Finally finished wrapping!" Shen Wu stretched his waist and sighed: "I didn't expect there were so many. It's really tiring."

"It's okay." Gu Zhou didn't feel that tired, on the contrary, he felt a little relaxed.

Shen Wu ignored him and thought the buns were almost done, so he changed the heat to low and simmered for about 5 minutes.

"It's all done. Wash your hands and go back to sleep. I'll watch over you." Shen Wu moved a wooden stool and sat in front of the fire.

"No need. I couldn't sleep anyway, so I came to see you." Gu Zhou washed his hands and sat near her.

Shen Wu had no reason to chase him away, so he just let him stay.

After a while, Shen Wu felt that the pot was ready to boil and stood up and said, "It's almost done. Stay away and be careful not to get choked by the steam."

She watched Gu Zhou step back a little before opening the lid.

Steam instantly erupted from the pot, and Shen Wu was almost hit in the face. Fortunately, he dodged in time and was not hurt.

After the steam dissipated a little, she came forward and said, "Today's steamed food looks really good."

Gu Zhou helped by passing the large basin to the side, and she used chopsticks dipped in cold water to carry the buns.

"Ouch~ Ouch~ hiss~ hiss, it's so hot." Shen Wu hurriedly took out the bun with one corner lifted up and put it in the basin. It was too hot, and his fingertips turned red after just briefly holding it.

Gu Zhou didn't say anything. He turned around, took out a pair of chopsticks, dipped them in water and helped move the buns.

Thanks to Gu Zhou's help, all the buns in the pot were taken out in a few minutes. Shen Wu picked up the grate with a pair of chopsticks. There was not much water left in the pot, so she added a few bowls of water into it before putting the grate back.

After taking the cage cloth off and soaking it in cold water for a while, Shen Wu put a few large pieces of firewood into the stove.

When the flames got bigger, she got up and went to the basin to wash off the dough stuck to the cage cloth.

Gu Zhou put the buns in the basin and saw her washing the cage cloth: "Does this have to be washed every time?"

"No, it's just that there is some sticky stuff on the first pot. If it's not washed off, it will affect the second pot. And a wet cage cloth is better." Shen Wu wrung out the cage cloth and put it back into the pot with some moisture.

"Please help me, wash your hands and put the buns away"

"it is good"

After Gu Zhou washed his hands, Shen Wu had already started putting things in by the stove. He walked over and took the wrapped buns in as well.

Shen Wu planned to cook this pot for a short time, so he covered the pot with a lid, poked a bun with chopsticks and handed it to Gu Zhou: "Try it."

Gu Zhou took it and asked curiously: "Why do you like me to taste it?"

Shen Wu didn't know how to explain this. After thinking for a while, he said, "It is generally said that people who cook don't have much appetite. Of course, there are also people who have a very good appetite. But I am an exception. If there are other people around when I cook, I like to let them taste the food."

Although Gu Zhou didn't understand, he didn't ask any more questions: "Oh."

He took a bite of the bun that was stuck on the chopsticks. The bun was very hot as it had just come out of the pot. He couldn't take much of it at the first bite because it was too hot. He only bit off some of the bun skin.

Shen Wu saw this and was amused by him: "Hahahahahahahaha, you got burned before I even told you to be careful, you are so funny."

Shen Wu was laughing happily on the side. Gu Zhou blew on the place he had bitten before and took another bite.

He finally tasted the filling this time. The inside of the bun was still very hot. He opened his mouth wide and madly blew out the hot air from the bun. It took him a long time to eat it.

“Delicious, but the skin is thicker than the one at noon”

Shen Wu stopped laughing and started to be mysterious meaningfully: "You will know when I start selling buns."

Since she didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more questions, and Gu Zhou quietly finished eating the rest of the buns.

After all three pots of buns were steamed, the sky began to brighten. Shen Wu hurriedly took out the backpack, boiled it in boiling water and washed it several times, then put the bought cloth on the bottom and put the buns in it.

The cloth was scalded in boiling water after dinner yesterday, and boiled together with the backpack.

Shen Wu put some buns on the bottom layer first, and then covered it with a layer of cage cloth. Since there were thirty or forty buns, she divided the basket into layers. The bottom layer was divided by cage cloth to hold the first pot, the second layer was a medium-sized basin at home that just fits into the basket, after blanching, the buns were placed on it, and the third layer was simply stacked up.

After preparing the buns, they were ready to set off. Gu Zhou went back to the house, woke up his younger sister and picked up his younger brother.

"Brother, are you going to town?" Gu Wei rubbed her eyes and looked like she was still sleepy.

Gu Zhou held his younger brother in his arms and said to his younger sister in a gentle voice: "There are some things to ask. You and my younger brother should go to my aunt's house today. You must listen to my aunt and behave yourself at home."

"Okay, I'll be obedient, brother." Gu Wei staggered to the kitchen door and washed her face with water in an attempt to wake herself up, but she smelled a familiar smell.

"steamed stuffed bun!!"

"Are you awake? Do you want to try some buns?" Shen Wu was just scooping soup when he heard Gu Wei's voice and turned his head to ask.

Gu Wei quickly washed her hands and ran into the kitchen: "I want to!!! I want to!"

Shen Wu suddenly wanted to deliberately embarrass her: "But how can you eat when you just woke up? Have you rinsed your mouth? Have you washed your face and hands?"

Gu Wei didn't understand what she meant by rinsing her mouth, but she washed her hands and face, so she moved forward to let Shen Wu see: "Look! I washed my face! I washed my hands too."

When she mentioned hands, she even stretched out her hand for Shen Wu to see.

Shen Wu smiled and said: "You can't eat without rinsing your mouth."

Gu Wei was anxious. Seeing that there were buns but she couldn't eat them, she was very anxious. She asked quickly, "What is mouthwash?"

Shen Wu just took this opportunity to give her some scientific advice: "We need to brush our teeth after meals, but if we don't have anything to brush our teeth with, we can only rinse our mouths. If you don't rinse your mouth or brush your teeth for a long time, all your teeth will fall out, and then you won't be able to eat buns even if you want to."

After hearing this, Gu Wei hurried to the bucket next to her and scooped some water with her small bowl and drank it.

When Shen Wu saw this, he quickly said, "You can't drink it, you have to spit it out."

Gu Wei almost drank it, but when she heard her words, she quickly ran out and vomited into the vegetable garden.

"I rinsed my mouth! Can I eat now?" Her rinsing of mouth was just drinking water and spitting it out. Shen Wu didn't have the free time to explain it to her so he agreed with her and said, "Let me see. If it's done, you can eat now."
