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

"delicious?"

Gu Zehuai, who had just walked over, moved his little ears and heard Bai Qingyao talking about delicious food, which made Bai Qingyao laugh.

She raised her hand and tapped his little nose, "You little greedy cat!"

"hey-hey."

Gu Zehuai raised his head and chuckled.

"What I'm going to make later is indeed delicious, but it's for cooking, so you can't eat it directly. If it's ready, I'll use it to cook for you tonight!"

"Good~"

Gu Zexuan heard Bai Qingyao's movement and came out of the kitchen, "Mother."

Now he was still a little embarrassed to call her mother, but the words had already been said, and now he was too embarrassed to take them back.

"Ah Xuan, what are you doing?"

Bai Qingyao looked at Gu Zexuan's face, which was still dark, and thought of the smoke in the house just now, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Mother, I was just boiling water."

There was no hot water at home, and he, being of small stature, couldn't draw much water, so he decided to boil some water so that Bai Qingyao could drink hot water and take a hot bath when she came back.

"Ah Xuan, just wait until I get back to do these things. How is it? Are you not hurt?"

Hearing Bai Qingyao's voice, Gu Zexuan opened his eyes and his pupils dilated slightly. He didn't expect that Bai Qingyao was concerned about him first.

This would have been unthinkable before.

She raised her hand to wipe the dust off Gu Zexuan's face. "Mother knows that Xuan wants to help you. However, this kind of thing is a bit dangerous. Next time, mother will do it. Do you understand?"

After hearing her words, Gu Zexuan nodded subconsciously.

Bai Qingyao then carried the bucket in her hand to the yard. The oyster meat needed to be cleaned, otherwise it would still be a bit dirty.

It's not just the original powder on the oyster shells, but also the dirty stuff brought down from the reef.

Pour the raw meat into a large basin and Bai Qingyao patiently washes them one by one.

After cleaning, drain the water, put it in a wooden basin, then bring it to the kitchen, pour it into the pot, and start simmering over low heat.

Bai Qingyao did not dare to slack off while cooking. If she was not careful and the food got stuck in the pot, all her efforts would be wasted.

Gu Zejing even took Gu Zehuai to the kitchen several times to check, but these oysters had to be boiled for at least fifteen minutes.

When the oysters in the pot are almost cooked, the oyster juice gradually becomes thicker, and there are fewer and fewer oysters in the pot, no more firewood is added to the bottom of the pot.

Take the oysters out of the pot and squeeze out the juice.

Bai Qingyao turned around and found the white coarse cloth she bought from the town yesterday. These cloths are quite breathable and are very suitable for filtering impurities.

After all the impurities are filtered out, add an appropriate amount of water to the oyster juice and then add about five spoons of sugar.

The white sugar from Dazhao is not pure in color, but has a slightly burnt yellow tint. Even so, it is extremely expensive.

I bought about two taels of white sugar, which cost Bai Qingyao almost thirty cents.

Even more expensive than the price of food.

After adding the sugar, add a little salt. Since there is no soy sauce here, it cannot be colored, so Bai Qingyao uses another fragrant medicinal herb instead.

She also found this medicinal herb by accident. It has its own fragrance. When put into seasoning, it will not cover up the taste of the seasoning itself, but will enhance the flavor.

This was a medicinal herb she discovered during her expedition. She didn't expect to find it here, so she named it Weicao.

The conditions here are limited, and many of the ingredients for making oyster sauce are not available. She can only do her best to restore the flavor of the oysters to its maximum.

Wait until the oyster juice in the pot gradually thickens, stir it back and forth slowly, and when it reaches a similar viscosity, Bai Qingyao withdrew her hand and waited for it to cool down.

Taking advantage of this time, Bai Qingyao turned around and rummaged through the utensils in the kitchen. The greasy cooking oil still needed to be served after it cooled down, and without utensils, it would not be possible.

Finally, I found some small ceramic bottles in the corner, which was just right.

There isn't much oyster sauce in the pot, probably only about one or two pounds, which is just enough for this ceramic bottle.

*

Deep in the mountains, located on the top of the mountain, you can see the scenery below the mountain and the endless blue ocean at a glance.

"Lord."

A black-clothed figure landed, half-knelt on the ground, and spoke respectfully to the black-clothed figure not far away.

"Ok?"

"I was a step too late. Yang has already been beaten up."

As the man in black spoke, his head lowered lower.

"who is it?"

"It's...it's Bai Qingyao."

God knows, he was shocked when he saw it.

That vicious woman Bai Qingya actually went to beat up Yang Chunhua, and even cleverly covered Yang Chunhua's head, so that no one would know that it was her who did it.

It’s just…it’s just that this matter really doesn’t match his understanding of Bai Qingyao.

"Oh?"

When the black-robed man heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "It seems that nothing will happen to them in the short term."

"Leave first."

"Yes!"

Hearing the words of the man in black, the man in black was stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists in response, turned around and left.

After the man in black left, the man in black slowly turned around, revealing a bearded face. If you only look at his eyes, they are a pair of very beautiful eyes.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but his full beard added a touch of... well, a touch of wildness to him, making him look particularly unruly.

"Bai Qingyao...ha!"

"A-choo--"

Just as the oyster sauce was served, Bai Qingyao sneezed violently without warning.

However, smelling the fragrance emanating from the ceramic bottle, she smiled with satisfaction, but she didn't know what it tasted like.

[Ding~ The host successfully brewed oyster sauce. Quality: medium to low. Points earned: 2.]

Suddenly, there was a ding in Bai Qingyao's mind, and then she heard the voice of the system.

Lower-middle class?

It seems that the quality of this jar of oysters is not as perfect as she imagined.

There are still a lot of raw materials missing, so I will improve it bit by bit later.

The handful of wild vegetables she had picked from the foot of the mountain had been washed and cut into small pieces.

After cleaning the pot, Bai Qingyao started cooking.

Not long after, a rich fragrance emerged from the yard.

"Ah Xuan, A Jing, A Huai, wash your hands quickly, dinner will be served soon!"

Hearing this sound, the three little ones ran to the basin and washed their hands quickly.

"Mother, today's food smells so good~"

"I made some pancakes and some egg and vegetable porridge today. You guys should drink more, okay?"

"Okay, I want a big bowl!"

Gu Zehuai nodded, staring fiercely at the bowl in front of him, and spoke in a fierce voice.

'Puch——'

"Okay, Ah Huai, have a big bowl."

"Ah Xuan, A Jing, you two should eat quickly too."
