Chapter 1285 If we don't speak up and intervene, we might suffer internal injuries from holding it in.
These past few days, I've heard many military wives in the family compound share their tips on living frugally. They're right; if she wants to fit in with this big family, she should learn from them occasionally. For example, steaming buns today using a wood-fired stove is convenient and economical. After all, the steamer is big enough to cook them all at once, and the firewood can be collected directly from the mountain, so it doesn't cost any money.
Actually, she had already removed the large firewood before, so even if she forgot, the pot wouldn't have dried out.
Steaming buns was also a way of thinking that if Fu Yancheng came back in the middle of the night, he could have some to eat first.
When Mo Ruhua came in, Chu Xue had just opened the steamer lid. Half of the steamer was filled with steamed buns made from a mixture of cornmeal and white rice, and the other half was filled with plain white flour buns. They looked really good: "I have to say, your skills are really good. They look delicious."
Chu Xue used her chopsticks to pick up a vegetarian bun, put it in a bowl, and handed it to Mo Ruhua: "Try it and see how it tastes?"
Mo Ruhua had gotten to know her better these past few days, and she would share the delicious food she made with Chuxue, so she didn't stand on ceremony with her. After taking the bowl, she asked, "What kind of filling is it?"
As Chu Xue picked things up into the porcelain basin, she said, "The filling is made with zucchini, eggs, and wood ear mushrooms. It's a pity there are no carrots, otherwise this filling would not only taste good but also look beautiful."
She has plenty of eggs in her storage space, so naturally she won't be stingy; the filling is very generous.
I bought the wood ear mushrooms on the black market during a business trip to Northeast China, and I have quite a lot stored in my storage space.
Mo Ruhua waited for the buns to cool for a while before taking a small bite: "Hmm, the taste is really good. This is the first time I've ever had zucchini filling. I didn't expect it could be used as a filling."
Seeing that she liked it, Chu Xue handed another one to Mo Ruhua after she finished eating.
Mo Ruhua quickly waved her hand and said, "Your buns are quite big. With my appetite, one is enough to fill me up, and I can skip dinner. By the way, come quickly and tell me how you make the zucchini filling. While there are still a few misshapen gourds and cracked dates left in the vegetable garden, I'll learn to make some for my husband to try. Otherwise, we won't be able to taste them until next year, and the seedlings will have to be pulled up by then."
Chu Xue naturally didn't hold back and explained the filling preparation method to her in detail: "Don't steam the vegetarian filling for too long, otherwise the buns will be soft and mushy and won't taste good."
Mo Ruhua is a decent cook and enjoys researching food; she's the type who learns quickly: "Then I'll try it tomorrow."
Chu Xue originally wanted to bring a few back for her, but Mo Ruhua refused, saying, "Sister-in-law, I'll go back and pack first."
After seeing Mo Ruhua off, just as they were about to close the door, they saw Tao Yushan, Tao's son, chasing after Yu Rao, the wife of Company Commander Cui: "Give me back the pancake."
But Cui Yurao had already entered the hospital: "Mom, Mom, save me quickly."
Without even asking, it's clear what happened. Chu Xue just couldn't understand it. Why were the Cui couple being scolded all the time? Didn't they feel ashamed?
Zhang Lianhua was picking vegetables in the yard when she heard her youngest daughter's words and quickly stood up: "Yushan, why are you chasing after my Yurao?"
Tao Yushan was only six years old. When asked this question by an adult, his little face turned red: "She stole my sesame cake? I want her to give it back to me?"
Seeing the child so anxious that tears were streaming down her face, Zhang Lianhua shamelessly said, "Look, you and our Yu Rao both have the character 'Yu' in your names, so aren't you just like siblings? What's wrong with letting her have some of your cakes?"
Upon hearing this, six-year-old Tao Yushan could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
Sister Tao is a good person and has helped me a lot before. If I don't speak up and do something about it, I'm afraid I'll suffer internal injuries. She suddenly opened the door and, without looking for Zhang Lianhua, looked directly at the group of people returning from training not far away: "Company Commander Cui, hurry up and take a few steps. Your wife and your daughter are stealing Yushan's sesame cakes."
