I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

"what?"

Hearing Bai Qingyao's voice, Xu Zisheng came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze from Gu Yichen, and looked up at her. "Nothing?

After saying that, he continued speaking.

"Qingyao, you're back?"

"Brother Xu."

Bai Qingyao greeted him and raised her hand to show him the wooden basin in her hand. "It took some time to deal with these things, but fortunately, it's done now."

"By the way, Brother Xu, have you been to the island to take a look?"

"Not yet. I just got here."

Xu Zisheng shook his head. He had just arrived at the Gu family not long ago and had not had time to go out and take a look.

"I'll take you there after dinner. Brother, please help me greet the guests. I'm going to the kitchen first."

"it is good."

When Bai Qingjiang heard Bai Qingyao's words, he nodded from a distance and ran over from a distance.

After Bai Qingyao left, a group of people were left there. Aunt Luo was okay, she was very outgoing and could talk to anyone.

As for Gu Yichen, he naturally noticed Xu Zisheng's gaze, but he didn't take it to heart.

Although Xu Zisheng felt that he looked familiar, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize him.

He glanced at them, turned around and followed Bai Qingyao to the kitchen.

Walking into the kitchen, Bai Qingyao took out the pig offal, cutting the ones that needed to be cut into pieces and keeping the ones that needed to be kept whole.

Bai Qingyao planned to braise all the pig offal without doing anything else.

She opened the pot, filled it with water, rinsed the pig offal with cold water, and then put the seasonings such as ginger and garlic that she bought to remove the fishy smell into the pot.

Blanching them in water can remove the fishy smell from the waste.

In fact, the longer the stewed soup is stored, the better, but since she is in a hurry to eat it now, she plans to make one that can be eaten immediately and then make the stewed soup later.

She went to several shops and was able to get the ingredients for the stewed pork.

The total value of these materials is almost one or two taels of silver.

However, I can't let my stomach suffer. At worst, I can exchange all of this for silver later.

Put the pig skin and other ingredients into the pot, add spices and start cooking. This will take some time. You can’t eat this braised dish in the morning and have to wait until the afternoon.

However, since Xu Zisheng is here, she has to cook more dishes.

"What were those just now?"

Gu Yichen just saw her put a lot of things into the pot, and soon after, a very strange fragrance came out of the pot.

"Those are spices. They are very delicious when used to make stews."

After saying this, the two of them walked out of the kitchen.

"Qingyao, are you okay?"

When Bai Qingyao walked out of the kitchen, everyone in the yard looked at her.

After all, the smell that lingers in the yard for a long time is really unpleasant and makes people unable to muster the energy to do anything else.

"You can't eat the braised food yet. You have to eat it, otherwise it won't be tasty. However, I made other dishes for lunch, so everyone can eat them first."

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed a bit of disappointment. It was really torture to be able to only smell it but not eat it.

Bai Qingyao turned around and took out the prepared dishes.

"Although I can't eat braised pork yet, I made braised fish, garlic fish fillets, and fish meal..."

Every time she said something, everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the dishes Bai Qingyao brought up.

The yard was filled with the aroma of stewed food. The fragrance of these dishes had been covered up before, but now that she brought them up, they smelled even better.

"Ayao, did you do all this?"

Xue Mei looked at the table full of dishes and felt a little distressed.

"Not entirely. Gu...Yichen also helped."

He was the one who processed these fish. Gu Yichen had learned a lot from watching her cook during this period. Although he couldn't cook them, he knew how to process them.

"Ah Chen is a good boy. Next time, call me mother. Mother is well now and can help you."

"it is good."

Bai Qingyao responded with a smile, and skillfully took Xue Mei's arm. "I haven't eaten the food cooked by my mother for a long time."

"Then Mom will make it for you tonight."

"Hey, good."

After whispering to Xue Mei, Bai Qingyao turned around and said, "Everyone, hurry up and eat, otherwise it will get cold and won't taste good."

If the fish gets cold, it will have a fishy smell, and the taste will change, which she doesn't like.

After hearing her words, everyone who had been silent immediately picked up their chopsticks.

She only felt dazzled by the sight of chopstick after chopstick.

“This is delicious—”

"Sister, this fish noodle soup is delicious too, and there's also braised fish, which can actually be eaten braised..."

After eating for a while, Xu Zisheng looked up at Bai Qingyao.

"Qingyao, I have something to discuss with you today."

"Brother Xu, you say."

"Wangyueju isn't just in Taohua Town. In fact, it originated in the capital. Dishes made with oyster sauce are very popular these days. I've already shipped a small batch of oyster sauce to Wangyueju in the capital, and it's surprisingly popular. So, I wanted to ask, when will the next batch of oyster sauce be ready?"

"Although the time is a bit rushed, I still hope it can be done as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Brother Xu, the new batch of oyster sauce has already started to be boiled. It will probably be all boiled in a few days."

Xu Zisheng's eyes lit up. This was the best answer.

The seaside in summer is very blue.

At first glance, it looks like layers of blue gauze covering the entire ocean. The beach is covered with soft sand, which feels loose and soft when you step on it. Fortunately, I was wearing long boots, otherwise my boots would be full of sand.

Every time she walked on the beach, Bai Qingyao always felt relaxed.

The sea can convey my deep thoughts and relieve my sorrows.

It can't speak, but it can make people feel relaxed.

At this moment, Xu Zisheng looked at the azure sea and felt surprisingly calm.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the beginning of the bridge.

'hiss--'

Seeing the completed bridge, Xu Zisheng was truly shocked.

It's amazing.

The bridge is supported by huge pillars in the sea. The bridge body is made of brown wood, and each railing is carved with simple and exquisite patterns.

There are layers of wooden planks on top of the bridge, and surging waves below. If it weren't for the guardrails on the side, you would be afraid of falling down when walking on it.

When he walked onto this bridge for the first time, Gu Yichen felt very strange.

He had never thought before that, besides taking a boat, people could 'walk' on the sea in this way.

It is really a unique feeling to feel the sea breeze and listen to the sound of the waves.

Walk across the bridge and there is a small island on the other side.

After the bridge was completed, the construction of houses on the island began in earnest.

The bricks and tiles made by Uncle Sanshu are very exquisite. The bricks and tiles for the house are made according to the drawings given by Bai Qingyao and have been completed.

It has been transported to the island and placed on an open space not far from the foundation.

However, when he saw the scene in front of him, Xu Zisheng couldn't help but open his mouth wide and was speechless for a moment.
