A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Chapter 89 Entering the Town, New Stuffing Buns

As soon as Gu Zhou brought over the new backpack, the water in the pot began to boil. He scooped out a basin and put his mother's backpack in it to scald it, then put some more water into the pot to boil.

The stove that is turned on first should be used to cook the buns first.

Since there was cloth at home, Shen Wu made a cage cloth. This time, she just hot-pressed it and put it on the basket to prevent the buns from getting on the basket.

Gu Zhou had seen how people in the town used this to sell steamed buns, so he knew how to use it. After covering the buns and closing the lid, Gu Zhou added some firewood into the basket, then stood up to check the burned bamboo backpack.

He turned the backpack around until it was all soaked with boiling water, then he let go. He took it out and hung it on a rope in the yard to drain the water, and it could be used when it was dry.

The other stove was also turned on when he came back. Shen Wu went over to move the buns, but Gu Zhou washed his hands first and called her away: "You make the buns, I'll take care of this, otherwise you will have to wash your hands later."

"Okay." Shen Wu returned to the chopping board and continued to make buns with shepherd's purse and tofu filling. She put too much tofu in, so she stuffed a lot of fillings into the buns as well. It would be a waste if she didn't put more stuffing in, so she could just sell them for more money.

She was a little afraid of breaking the skin and worried that she wouldn't sell enough, but the good thing was that she kneaded it for a little longer when releasing the gas, and the gluten was very good, so it should be able to fill the cake well.

The buns in Gu Zhou's pot were almost done. After Shen Wu put half a pot of stuffing in, he had already started the second pot.

Gu Zhou took the buns out of the pot one by one and put them into all the bamboo winnowing baskets in the house. Seeing that too much water had gone in, he added some more water and prepared to boil some.

Shen Wu was so tired that he raised his hands and straightened his back to rest.

"let me help you!"

"No need, the water isn't boiling yet. Wait until it boils first." Gu Zhouge put some firewood into the stove and rejected Shen Wu's request for help.

"Okay, then tell me when you feel tired and I'll take over. I'm almost done here anyway, and will clear out the items soon."

The two of them were busy like this, and soon they reached the last pot of buns.

Gu Zhou looked at the obviously extra buns and went back into the house to get out some oil paper for later use.

I’ll pack two for Grandpa Li later, give six or seven to Aunt, and leave two or three for my younger sister at home.

This way... I guess I can bring less.

Shen Wu was burning with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I accidentally added too much."

"It's okay." Gu Zhou shook his head to comfort her.

In fact, apart from being like an adult most of the time, she is more like a child, just like him...

As Gu Zhou was thinking this, Shen Wu washed his hands and started preparing food for his younger brother.

"What is this?" Gu Zhou saw her starting to make tofu again and came over to ask in confusion.

Shen Wu stopped what he was doing, picked up two buns from the side and handed them over: "Prepare tofu and eggs for me, try the buns and see if they are delicious."

"I don't want to eat! Let's talk about it later." Gu Zhou wanted to refuse, but was pushed away by Shen Wu.

"Just consider it as helping me. I made too much today and I don't think I can sell them all. Look, there are three pots of shredded bamboo shoots and seven pots of shepherd's purse and tofu. I'm afraid I won't be able to sell the shepherd's purse."

Shen Wu crushed the tofu with the back of a knife, feeling very worried. If he couldn't sell it, he would have to carry it back. Although it was autumn and the weather was cool, the tofu was still easy to spoil.

Gu Zhou also knew that there were indeed too many, so he obediently put the bun into his mouth. He couldn't tell which was bamboo shoots and which was shepherd's purse, so he just picked one at random and started eating.

The first thing he ate was the shredded bamboo shoots, which were just as delicious as usual.

Boys of this age eat a lot, and Gu Zhou is no exception. He usually eats five or six buns. He is afraid that there will be no more buns to sell after he eats all of them, so he repeatedly refuses to eat and would rather go home hungry to eat.

Shen Wu was his age, and although men and women have different biological genders, she didn't understand his behavior at first. But she had experienced a lot, so she could naturally guess what Gu Zhou meant, and he always forced it or deliberately kept it.

Gu Zhou’s second bun must be filled with shepherd’s purse. It was his first time eating this filling and he unexpectedly fell in love with it.

It has a very special taste. The fresh fragrance of shepherd's purse and the freshness of tofu mixed together create a strange aroma.

Gu Zhou finished a bun in just three or four bites and felt that his hungry stomach was much better.

Shen Wu wanted to give him more, but he refused to eat anymore. Two were enough for him, and he was not hungry as long as his stomach was full.

She beat the eggs very finely and mixed them with the finely crushed tofu.

Take out the buns, steam the tofu and eggs, and wait for the last pot of buns to come out of the pot.

After finishing this, Shen Wu did not rest and started to put the buns into the backpack. She made something like a cage yesterday, which was just stuck in the middle of each layer of buns, just enough to weigh them without touching the buns.

I rushed to make this last night. I boiled it in hot water after it was done, so just put it in there.

Shen Wu filled two backpacks with shepherd's purse buns and brought in the backpack that was drying outside.

"It's quite big, it can hold a lot of buns, but I'm afraid I won't be able to use many of them with my comb."

Gu Zhou took out the last pot to dry in the air, turned around and said: "Put our backpack first. This was originally for mother to use on her back, and we use it for emergency use."

Shen Wu sighed, took out the backpack he had used before, and stuffed the shepherd's purse and tofu buns into it layer by layer.

The two of them were so busy that they finally finished everything when it was almost dawn outside.

"Brother! What delicious food did you make?" Gu Wei smelled the fragrance early in the morning and ran to the kitchen.

Shen Wu had just covered the leftover rice when she saw her younger sister standing at the kitchen entrance with an expectant look on her face.

"The buns in the stove on the right are reserved for aunt. When the time comes, ask her to take them home wrapped in oil paper."

On the left is the meal for you and your younger brother. You have buns with two kinds of fillings and half a bowl of egg tofu, and the remaining half is for your younger brother.

When Gu Wei heard that there was new delicious food, she quickly washed her hands and face.

"I will take good care of my brother! You guys go and do your work! I will be very good." Gu Wei washed her face with water and made assurance to the two people in front of her.

Shen Wu smiled but didn't reach out to touch the child's head. He had to sell buns later, so he decided not to touch the head.

Gu Zhou put on the backpack and carried a basket in front of it: "Be good at home, your sister Jiang Yu and I are going out."

"Yeah!" Gu Wei stood at the entrance of the yard, looking at the two people with a large backpack in front and behind, and waved at their backs: "Come back soon!"

Shen Wu did not dare to look back. The things on his body felt so heavy that he could hardly move. He only shouted back, "Hey!"

The two of them half walked and half ran, fearing that they would be late and make the two grandfathers wait.

But it was still late. When we arrived at the gathering place, there were already a lot of people there.

Shen Wu was stunned. Why were there so many people? He didn't expect there would be so many.

Gu Zhou knew that there were people but he didn't know so many people, so he quickly whispered to Jiang Yu: "If you don't want to say anything later, just don't say anything. These are all people in the village. Some people know that you have lost your memory, and some people don't."

Shen Wu nodded and started silent mode.

When Master Li San saw the two children coming, he put aside the whip in his hand and hurried over to help lift it.

"Why do you have so many? Aren't they heavy?" He didn't talk to Jiang Yu, but said to the boy from the Gu family.

Gu Zhou knew that Jiang Yu's previous behavior had made Master Li unhappy. Even though he had explained it yesterday, Master Li was still a little angry. There were many people around at the moment, so it was not easy to say anything. He pulled Jiang Yu to sit on the backpack and put it next to his feet.

"Let's go!" Uncle Li San and Uncle Li waved their whips together, shouted and started off.

There were quite a few people traveling with him. Jiang Yu didn't dare to say anything and pretended that they couldn't see him. He stayed in one place and didn't even look up.
