After the grandparents and grandson decided on the menu, Lin Yutang controlled it with his mind and took out all the necessary ingredients directly from the space, arranged them neatly, and then began to prepare lunch for today.

"Mom, Xiaotang, good morning."

Lu An came over yawning. He had a day off today and didn't have to get up early. He stayed up late to watch a short drama yesterday and didn't expect to wake up so late in the morning.

"Hey? Why is the door locked?"

Luan pushed the kitchen door but couldn't open it. He was very curious why his mother and niece had to lock the door while cooking.

Mrs. Tang heard Luan's voice and came to open the door. Before Luan could ask, she walked in muttering:

"The kitchen door must be locked at all times. You never know if Fubao will come in and cause trouble. It would be terrible if he got scalded by the hot soup or hot water."

Luan, who was following behind, nodded in agreement, as if what his mother said made sense.

"Also, your sister-in-law is pregnant, so we need to reduce the smell of cooking fumes in the kitchen. I'm afraid she'll keep coming in to help, so I'll keep the kitchen locked from now on."

As Tang continued to speak, Lu An's eyes widened. His elder brother and sister-in-law were pregnant! He was going to have adorable little nephews and nieces again? ! ! !

"You're up so late, it's almost lunchtime! You didn't even notice the sun was burning your butt."

If it wasn't the New Year, Tang would have thrown the spoon in her hand over.

"You're already an adult, not only do you not have a wife, but you also sleep in and don't know how to work harder."

Although Mrs. Tang said that she was disgusted, she was reheating the buns and red date soup for Lu An.

"So, if I had a wife, I could sleep in?"

Luan scratched his head. This is probably what Mom meant.

Mrs. Tang was almost laughing when she heard this. This eldest son really knew how to grasp the key points, and he made it seem as if he could find a wife.

This town is different from the village. You can find out which family has girls of similar age and ask each other.

I came to the town and didn't know anyone there. Apart from looking for a matchmaker, I couldn't trust the matchmaker completely. I had to ask around.

Oh, I said I wouldn’t be anxious, but now I’m anxious for my eldest son.

Forget it, let the children and grandchildren have their own blessings, let them do whatever they want.

"Eat less, I'll make lunch later."

Mrs. Tang brought the hot dinner to Luan. Luan took it and took a big bite of the bun. He smiled innocently, said "Thank you, mother" and went to the restaurant.

The grandparents and grandchildren thought that they would have to eat the New Year's Eve dinner early, so they planned to prepare something simple for lunch.

The hot and sour soup was made by Tang, as she knew An's taste better. Lin Yutang then planned to make a clay pot rice, which had both staple food and vegetables, and also offered the fragrant and crispy rice crust.

Brush a layer of oil evenly on the bottom of the two casseroles, add the pre-soaked rice, and pour in clean water about half a centimeter higher than the rice.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and simmer on low heat for about five minutes. Open the lid and use chopsticks to poke a few small holes in the rice to drain the air. Place the blanched vegetables, mushrooms, corn kernels, and chopped sausages on top, and then place two eggs in the middle.

Cover the pot and drizzle some sesame oil around the edge of the pot. This way you will get delicious rice crust.

Finally, while simmering on low heat for a few minutes, quickly prepare the sauce: light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper, sugar, and a little water. Stir well and pour it on the rice when serving.

By the time Lin Yutang finished her clay pot rice, Tang had already prepared the hot and sour soup and stir-fried broccoli with shrimp. She also fried a corn pancake in the air fryer and sprinkled a little sugar on it. It was really no different from the ones sold outside.

"It's time to eat!"

Lin Yutang ran to the front and called everyone to eat. As soon as An entered the restaurant, she smelled the rich sour and spicy aroma and swallowed unconsciously. The hot and sour soup made by her mother was so delicious!

Tang brought all the food to the table. Lin Yutang opened the lid of the clay pot rice, poured the prepared sauce on it, and then used a spoon to mix the rice and sauce evenly.

"Xiaotang, does this rice have rice crust?"

An saw that when Lin Yutang used a spoon to stir the rice, the golden rice crust at the bottom was revealed.

"Yes, Auntie, this is clay pot rice. The rice crust at the bottom is so fragrant. Let's all try it later."

Lin Yutang quickly mixed the two pots of clay pot rice evenly, and everyone took turns to take their bowls to get the rice, all of them having a special liking for the large pieces of rice crust.

An picked up the bowl of clay pot rice and couldn't wait to take a bite. The rice was soft and sticky, the rice crust was crispy and charred! The sausage was oily and sweet, the mushrooms were juicy and plump, and the corn kernels were sweet and delicious. One bite was enough to leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste.
