Apocalypse overlord Yun Yiyi had just perished together with a group of high-level zombies. The next moment she opened her eyes, she had become a six-year-old chubby girl. What now?
This wasn...
"I guess Dad and the others will wake up soon."
"You can eat when you wake up."
"Third brother, didn't you just eat a peach? Why are you hungry so soon?"
"Brother, peaches are fruits, and radish rolls are meals. No matter how much fruit I eat, it won't delay my meals!"
"Brother, you know the third brother is greedy, yet you still insist on asking him. Hey!"
Zhang sat nearby, listening to the children's bickering and laughing happily. No matter how difficult life was, as long as the children were happy, everything was fine.
"Mom, why do I smell the scent of radish rolls?" Yun Yiyi rubbed her eyes and sat next to Zhang.
Zhang tied Yun Yiyi's pigtails again.
"You're such a greedy little cat, you have a really good nose. Mom knows you love radish rolls, so I specially steamed two pots. When this one is cooked, wake up your dad and Zirui, and we'll eat."
"Wow, Mom, you are so kind. I must eat a few more today." Yun Yiyi hugged Zhang's arm and rocked back and forth.
"Oh, you're just talking. But when I really let you eat, you can't eat so much. You have big eyes and a small stomach." Zhang teased.
"Who said that, Mom? I can definitely eat a lot today." Yun Yiyi looked at Zhang unconvinced.
Zhang gently pointed her finger at Yun Yiyi's forehead.
"Aunt, I'm awake too. Is there anything you want me to do?" Xie Zirui also sat next to Zhang.
"Brother Zirui, you're awake too. Let's have delicious radish rolls tonight. My mother's cooking skill is quite good. I'm sure you've never eaten such delicious radish rolls." Yun Yiyi said proudly, with her hands on her hips.
Xie Zirui looked at Yun Yiyi's arrogant look and couldn't help laughing.
"Auntie's cooking is absolutely delicious. I'm going to have two more tonight."
Zhang laughed out loud when she heard this.
"Don't worry, I steamed two pots, which is definitely enough for you." Zhang cooks all year round, and her happiest thing is to see everyone enjoy the food she cooks.
"Mom, I think it's about time. Are the radish rolls in the pot cooked?"
"Here I am, Second Brother. I'll go check it out."
Zhang took an empty lid, opened the pot, and pressed the radish rolls with her hands. The radish rolls immediately returned to their original shape, which meant they were cooked.
Yun Lao Er held the curtain while Zhang went outside to pick up radish curls. The other children gathered around the large iron pot, watching Zhang work.
"Wife, why are you all gathered around the big iron pot? Did you make something delicious?" Butcher Yun said as he walked over.
When Butcher Yun saw that they were steamed radish rolls, he was delighted. The family hadn't eaten radish rolls since the drought. Sometimes when they bought radishes in town, Zhang wouldn't bother to cook them, instead making pickles.
"Wife, we are so lucky today. You have worked hard too."
"Boss, clear the table and prepare for dinner. There's some cold dishes I prepared next to the table, pour them on your plates. Don't worry, I steamed two pots, which is definitely enough for you."
Butcher Yun washed his hands and placed the cold dishes Zhang had prepared on two plates. He also set out the bowls and chopsticks.
Zhang took five radish rolls, put them on a plate, handed it to Yun Yiyi, and asked her to deliver it to Old Man Wu's house next door.
Yun Yiyi took the plate and quickly went to Old Man Wu's house.
"Grandma Wu, my mother made some delicious radish rolls. She asked her to send a plate over for you to try."
"I smelled the fragrance from far away. It turns out your mother was making radish rolls. Your mother is such a great cook." Mrs. Li happily took the plate from Yun Yiyi's hand.
Li took out the steamed buns and put them on her own plate. She also filled half of Yun Yiyi's plate with her own steamed pork with rice flour.
"Yiyi, this is the steamed pork with rice flour made by your aunt. It's already cooked. Take it back and let your mother try it. If it tastes good, give her more next time."
Yun Yiyi watched as Li's family steamed a plate of steamed pork with rice flour, but Li ended up giving half of it to Yun Yiyi.
"Grandma Wu, you gave me too much. Just give me a few slices to try." Yun Yiyi looked at Li embarrassedly.
"Hey, kid, don't worry about it. Your aunt made a big pot of steamed pork with rice flour. We can steam it anytime we want."
"Don't you think about it, which hunter would be short of meat?" Li looked at Yun Yiyi and liked her more and more. It was rare to find such a polite and sensible child.
"Okay, Grandma Wu, thank you for the steamed pork with rice flour. I'll go back and eat."
"Okay, run slowly and don't fall." Li specifically instructed.
"I understand, Grandma Wu." When Yun Yiyi's words came back, the person had already run away.
"Mom, Yiyi's mom next door is really skillful. Look at this radish roll, it smells so delicious even before you eat it." Li's eldest daughter-in-law said happily.
"Yes, mother, I think Yiyi is a sensible and sensible child. If it were another child, he would have taken away our whole plate of steamed pork with rice flour." Li's second daughter-in-law joked.
"Haha, it's Zhang next door who knows how to teach children. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's try these newly made radish rolls. Come to think of it, we haven't eaten them for a long time." Li divided the radish rolls among the people, and everyone took a piece and started eating.
Truly, the radish rolls made by Zhang are delicious. The filling is just the right amount of salty and fragrant, and the dough is thinly rolled. It's so delicious when you take a bite.
"Yiyi, what's that plate you're carrying? Why do I smell meat?
"We don't have meat at home, so how can there be any smell of meat?" Zhang patted Yun Lao San's shoulder.
"Haha, Mom, my third brother is right. Grandma Wu next door made steamed pork with rice flour and filled half a plate for our family. Let us try it." Yun Yiyi put the steamed pork with rice flour in her hand on the table.
"Your Grandma Wu is too polite. You have to give gifts in return every time." Zhang scolded.
"Give it away, everyone eats it, don't leave any."
After hearing what Zhang said, everyone used their chopsticks to pick up the steamed pork with rice flour. Yun Yiyi also picked up a piece and put it in her mouth to taste. The meat was a little fatty, but it was fragrant and delicious. Yun Yiyi ate her meal with satisfaction.
Although Zhang did steam two pots of radish rolls, she underestimated the appetite of her family. Everyone's appetite improved after a rare meal that satisfied them.
Zhang finally counted and found only five radish rolls left, definitely not enough for tomorrow morning. She had, however, finished all the cold dishes.
Zhang thought for a moment, then went to make a large bowl of noodles with the old dough. She planned to steam a pot of radish buns tomorrow morning. That way, she'd have lunch for tomorrow. She also hadn't eaten the meat buns Yun the butcher had bought in the city today, so they'd be perfect to heat up and eat together tomorrow morning.
