Chapter 9 Pie
Lin Yunxi looked in the direction he pointed and saw that everyone in the Gu family's old house was there, and Mother Gu even waved at her.
"Okay, wait a minute."
Gu Jiahao walked in front holding Yanyan, and Lin Yunxi followed behind carrying a basket.
"Mom and Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, and third brother." She greeted them one by one.
Mother Gu nodded, then took out a multi-grain steamed bun mixed with white flour and a bowl of black meat sauce from the basket like treasures.
These things are not available for eating at ordinary times. Only during the busy farming season will the family be willing to buy half a pound of meat to improve life.
"Eat quickly, and then take a rest. You still have to work in the afternoon." said Gu's mother.
A few children cheered and couldn't wait to break open the steamed buns and put the meat sauce in them, shaking their heads while eating, as if what they were eating was not steamed buns but a full banquet.
Gu Jiayan looked eagerly at his brothers and sisters who were eating happily. Seeing this, his father broke off half a steamed bun and handed it to his grandson.
"Yunxi, you should eat quickly too."
"Got it, Dad." Lin Yunxi reached into the basket, covering it and putting all the pies stored in the space into it.
She lifted the cloth covering the basket, looked at everyone and said, "I brought lunch too, let's eat together."
Looking at the golden pies in the basket, Father Gu was not at all pretentious. He picked up one and started eating, nodding with satisfaction while eating.
Ever since he had dinner last night, he had been looking forward to seeing his second daughter-in-law's cooking skills.
"It's delicious." As he spoke, he gave one to his wife.
"Try it now. It tastes really good. It tastes better than the meat buns you make."
What Mr. Gu said was not just a compliment. The simpler the ingredients, the more it can test a person's cooking skills.
The spicy taste of the chives in the space has been removed, the chive flavor is very strong, and the eggs do not have the common earthy smell.
Lin Yunxi has a precise grasp of seasoning and heat, as well as unique insights into cooking.
So the taste is much better than the ordinary leek and egg pie.
The skin is crispy, and when you bite it, the aroma that hits you will make your mouth water and you will feel extremely satisfied.
"Kid, I just told you yesterday that you should live frugally." Mother Gu muttered to herself.
"Mom, there are only a few eggs in it, and cornmeal and chives are available in every household."
Faced with the nagging, Lin Yunxi did not get annoyed, but just smiled slightly.
Looking at her daughter-in-law's smiling face, Mother Gu couldn't say anything offensive anymore. She had been cooking for her whole life.
You can't tell that this pancake is just made of white flour with a little cornmeal mixed in.
Forget it, she and the old man can still work for a few more years and save more money for their grandchildren.
Seeing their grandparents start eating, the children put down the steamed buns in their hands, each took a pie, and ate while praising them in various sweet ways.
Gu Feng and Gu Tao didn't think too much about it. They took one and each took half to taste it.
Zhou Chunfen felt a little embarrassed because she had three children and they took advantage of her a lot.
So he said embarrassedly: "I won't eat it. Steamed buns with meat sauce is also a good meal."
Lin Yunxi saw what she was thinking and forcefully stuffed a pancake into her hand.
"Sister-in-law, you have helped me so much, so what if you only eat one of my pancakes?"
"If that's the case, I won't dare ask you for help again."
Before she came, Zhou Chunfen helped the original owner a lot. When Gu's mother was busy, Yanyan was mostly looked after by this sister-in-law.
And although these things may seem rare to others, they are worthless in her eyes, as there are plenty of them in the space.
Didn't Mr. and Mrs. Gu make some delicious food and call her and Yanyan over? As a human being, you should treat others with sincerity.
"That's not what sister-in-law meant..."
"That's right, sister-in-law, come and try my cooking."
Without waiting for an answer, Lin Yunxi stuffed the pie into Zhou Chunfen's hand without question.
Zhou Chunfen saw that she couldn't refuse, so she had to take it. She took a bite and it was greasy and the more she chewed, the more delicious it became. No wonder her father-in-law praised her second brother and his wife for their good cooking skills since they came back last night.
If it were her turn, she would definitely not be able to make such a delicious dish, and she would not be willing to do it, as so much oil is enough to make several meals.
Everyone ate the delicious pies without looking up. The aroma attracted the attention of villagers who were working nearby.
Gu Jiayan had already eaten the pie his mother made in the morning, and now he was more interested in steamed buns with meat sauce.
I saw him holding half a steamed bun in his little hand and opening his little mouth to take a full bite.
After a moment, the little face was instantly wrinkled by the saltiness, and she kept sticking out her pink tongue.
Gu's mother deliberately added a lot of salt to the meat sauce she made in order to replenish the salt lost by the body and to allow it to be eaten for a longer period of time.
However, children's development is not yet complete, and foods that are too sour or too salty will stimulate the baby's delicate taste buds, which is why this scene happened.
The adults were so amused that they burst into laughter, and Lin Yunxi was also laughing happily.
Gu Jiayan looked at his mother with an accusing look, and his whole face showed that the baby was unhappy.
"Okay, Mommy won't tease you anymore."
Lin Yunxi fed him some water and broke off half a pie for him to eat. As for the other half of the steamed bun, it naturally went into her own stomach.
After dinner, Lin Yunxi took Yanyan back to the tree.
Maybe he was too tired from playing in the morning, and after dinner, Gu Jiayan couldn't hold on any longer.
He nodded his head, and in a few minutes he fell asleep on the picnic blanket.
Lin Yunxi used her straw hat to fan her son from time to time, while also driving away the mosquitoes.
Looking around, the shade in the fields was full of people. The work started early in the afternoon, and most people chose to eat lunch in the shade at the edge of the field so that they could rest a little longer.
Soon, the sound of the work bell came from the loudspeaker, and everyone picked up their farm tools and rejoined the autumn harvest team.
With the experience of the morning, Lin Yunxi found his own rhythm, combining work and rest, and managed to persevere.
After a busy day, when Lin Yunxi returned home, he was so tired that he couldn't even lift his arms.
She fished out a sea bass and a pound of river clams from the space. These two foods were easy to make and were all done in less than twenty minutes.
The sea bass is made into steamed sea bass, which has a light taste and is rich in nutrients. It is mainly for Yanyan to eat.
As for the river clams, they are made into spicy fried river clams. It is slightly spicy, the clam meat is plump, sweet and juicy, and it is a very good appetizer.
Finally, I used dried clam meat to make a clam and winter melon soup, which was fresh and delicious, nourishing, dehumidifying and heat-relieving.
After dinner, Lin Yunxi poured the hot water prepared in the kitchen into the bathtub and added half of the spiritual spring water. The mother and son took a comfortable bath.
The busy time passed quickly. Although Lin Yunxi ate a combination of meat and vegetables every day, he still lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the one hand, it is because of the heavy physical labor every day, and on the other hand, it is because of the hot weather and poor appetite.
On the contrary, Gu Jiayan's little face gradually became rounder, and his big eyes twinkled, making him even more adorable.
