Shen Xinli transmigrated one day to become a seven-year-old peasant girl. Originally, she held no hope for her new life, but the care and love from her family changed her perspective.

Transmi...

Chapter 6 Dandelion Omelette

"Ali, is this really what you discovered?"

"Yes, mother, don't worry, each of us in the family gets an egg, and there's an extra one for you to eat."

"Did no one else see it?"

Wu Yuehua's eyelids twitched and she looked at her daughter again.

"Mother, there were only four of us at that time: my sister, me, Yushan, and Yulin.

My sister found the egg; there's no way anyone else could have found it. It was laid by a pheasant."

Although Shen Jinshan also found it unbelievable, he picked it up with his own hands after all.

Looking at A Niang's expression, he knew that she had misunderstood.

Wu Yuehua knew very well what was and wasn't found outside Qianniu Mountain.

The eggs in front of me are huge and smooth, there is no way they were laid by pheasants.

Even with the assurances of her eldest son and nephews, Wu Yuehua was still a little hesitant.

Thinking about how my daughter has changed a lot since she woke up from the fall.

But no matter how the child changes, he always feels sorry for her and just let her eat an extra egg.

Forget it, since the child doesn’t want to talk, she won’t ask for now.

Wu Yuehua seemed to know the origin of eggs.

Thinking about the rich families in the village, there were probably only Qian Dayou and Sun Fuxiang. They had enough food to raise chickens, and each family raised three or four old hens.

However, it seems that the eggs laid by their chickens are not this big!

Wu Yuehua was confused and kept wondering whose eggs they belonged to.

After thinking for a long time, she decided to let the children have a good meal first.

If she was caught, she would admit that she had stolen it.

Then he compensated the other party with the remaining ten cents that the village head had borrowed, and then he educated the children well, but that is a story for later.

Having made up her mind, Wu Yuehua stopped worrying about it.

He also asked the Shen Yushan brothers to take four eggs home and told them to have their sister-in-law cook and eat them as soon as possible.

She had already planned to have six eggs for herself.

Each of the two sons gets one, and the remaining four are all left for Chen Xinli to eat.

The Shen family used to only eat two meals, lunch and dinner.

Considering that her daughter still needed to be nourished, Wu Yuehua made porridge for her daughter this morning.

Then she thought that she had to give the two boys some food, so she steamed a few more buns, one for each of them, and one for her and her husband.

For lunch, she planned to make something simple.

"Mother, let me cook. Let's finish these eggs."

Wu Yuehua became more determined when she suddenly heard her daughter's emphasis.

These eggs must have been stolen by a few boys, and in order to avoid being punished, they said that it was Ali who found them.

"Okay, listen to Ali and finish eating."

"Mother, please go outside and bring in some firewood. I think we don't have enough firewood."

Chen Xinli quickly calculated in her mind that her family was still not very accepting of dandelions, so it would be best to blanch them in water.

Otherwise, you will always be psychologically suggestive and feel uncomfortable even if you don’t have diarrhea.

The blanching water can be cooled and then used to water the ground, so it is not a waste. After thinking about it, Chen Xinli took quick action.

First, quickly pick out the tender shoots of the dandelion and wash them briefly.

After blanching, chop it directly into pieces and put it into a large bowl. Then beat five eggs into the bowl, stir them and add salt.

Pour oil into the pan, pour the egg liquid mixed with chopped dandelions into the pan, and you can hear a sizzling sound.

After a while, the tender yellow and soft dandelion omelet was ready.

Add more water to the pot and wait for it to boil. Then Chen Xinli put the tenderest dandelion buds that she had just picked into the pot, add a few drops of oil, and season with salt.

Crack the remaining egg into a bowl and add a little water to mix.

When the water in the pot boils, pour the egg liquid directly into the boiling pot. After about ten seconds, a pot of dandelion egg drop soup is ready.

"Ali, why are you scrambling eggs with this motherwort? Aren't you ruining the eggs?"

Wu Yuehua, who had just come in with firewood, looked at the stove and couldn't help but blame it.

"Mother, don't waste it. I dreamed of a strange place these days. The people there made dandelions like this. You can try it first."

Looking at her daughter suspiciously, Wu Yuehua's mouth twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it: Forget it, I'll cook for myself in the future.

She thought so in her heart, but when she took the chopsticks handed to her by her daughter, she was hesitant to pick up the chopsticks.

"Ali, won't this give you diarrhea?"

"No, Mom, I've already blanched it. Let me eat first."

"No, I'll go first. I'll go first."

Wu Yuehua quickly stopped her daughter.

The egg pancake was greasy and orange, and looked delicious. Wu Yuehua hid her worries and quickly picked up a small piece and put it in her mouth.

"Hey, the bitterness has really faded a lot."

It’s actually quite delicious.

Wu Yuehua subconsciously swallowed the first bite before she realized the taste - it was so fragrant.

"Mother, it smells so good. What delicious food is this? I want one too."

Shen Jinlin had rushed into the kitchen at some point, staring at the egg pancake in front of him, his drool almost falling onto his clothes.

"Come, let me feed you."

Chen Xinli didn't dislike the little kid in front of her at all, and even picked up a small piece to feed Shen Jinlin.

“It’s delicious. It’s delicious.”

The little bean said with an intoxicated look on his face.

Wu Yuehua took another sip of the egg soup and was greatly surprised. She never expected that the unpalatable dandelion would become a delicacy in her daughter's hands.

While Wu Yuehua was still in shock, Chen Xinli quickly steamed the same buns she had for breakfast.

Just wait for the steamed buns to heat up and the family can have their meal.

After Shen Jinshan had collected the dry firewood, he began to clean up the bamboo debris at the door. The fragrance coming from the kitchen made him swallow his saliva.

I usually don’t feel anything if I don’t eat breakfast in the morning, but today I only ate a steamed bun and I’m so hungry.

"I'd better save some food and skip breakfast from now on."

Shen Jinshan made a decision silently.

I know my mother will cook eggs for lunch, but according to her habit, she will only cook one.

He was satisfied with just one bite and left the rest for his younger brothers and sisters.

Shen Jinshan was full of anticipation for today's lunch, and his eyes kept glancing towards the kitchen.

The aroma from the kitchen drifted outside. Lu Dahua sniffed hard. What kind of food is this? Why does it smell so good?

Huh? This fragrance seems to be coming from the Shen family.

Wu Yuehua was just going out to dry honeysuckle with a winnowing basket when Lü Dahua came up to her while eating a ash flour bun and asked:

"Big sister, what did you cook for lunch? Why does it smell so good?"

“It’s just stir-fried dandelions.”

"Dandruff? Let me see and learn from you."

Without waiting for him to finish, Lu Dahua went straight into the kitchen from the yard.

"egg?"

Before the Shen family could react, they suddenly heard shouting and cursing coming from far away.

"Who is so greedy that stole ten eggs from my house?"

In Qianniu Village, every household is preparing to have lunch.

Suddenly I heard Aunt Wang from Qian Dayou's family yelling and cursing in the village.

Some of the women who came to watch the fun went out holding bowls, and some holding steamed buns with wild vegetables.
