Chapter 92: There are always people better than you
The four of them had fun together for a while, and then Gu Yanqing spoke seriously.
"Okay, mother must have something important to do, let's not disturb her. Come on, Sui Sui Huan Huan, let's go practice calligraphy."
"Ah, time to practice calligraphy again." Huanhuan pinched her chubby white fingers and muttered unhappily.
When Shen Jinan saw her like that, if his hands weren't dirty, he would have wanted to hug her and kiss her.
"If you write well this time, Daddy will buy you some malt candy."
Gu Yanqing half squatted down, smiled gently and said, his beautiful starry eyes almost turned into a pool of spring water.
"Okay then, Huanhuan won't bother Mom anymore. Huanhuan wants to practice calligraphy with Daddy."
Huanhuan waved his little arms like lotus roots, and his big eyes blinked.
"This is Daddy's good Huanhuan. Come on, let's go practice calligraphy."
Gu Yanqing gently picked up Huanhuan with one hand and held Suisui with the other. Before leaving the kitchen, he turned back and carefully instructed, "Madam, if you need any help, just tell me and I'll come."
"Okay." Shen Jinan also smiled back, feeling warm in his heart.
After they left, Shen Jinan reached out and sifted through the barley given by the system. This was the first step in brewing wine, selecting the materials.
After selecting the materials, the next step is to make the koji. This step is not difficult, but it does require some thought. Fortunately, the system provides detailed steps, so you won't be like a headless fly.
After a busy morning, Shen Jinan put the wine-making supplies in order and then started cooking.
Taking out the celery that the aunt next door gave her last time, and half a pound of pork, Shen Jinan prepared to make celery and pork dumplings at noon.
The dough had already risen last night, so you just need to take it out and knead it a few times.
Before she started kneading the dough, Gu Yanqing walked into the kitchen alone.
Seeing him come so quickly, Shen Jinan was a little surprised, "Didn't you take the children to practice calligraphy? Why are you in the kitchen again?"
"Yue Buwei came over just now. Seeing the children practicing calligraphy, he became interested and started practicing with Sui Sui Huan Huan. I saw that he was getting along well with the children, so I came over to see if there was anything I could do to help."
Gu Yanqing still had a faint smile on his face, looking like a gentleman with a gentle and warm demeanor.
"Yue Buwei can actually play with children." Shen Jinan was a little amused, but his pitiful appearance last night really made him look like a real old naughty boy.
Gu Yanqing agreed softly, rolled up his sleeves to wash his hands, and pointed at the white dough and asked.
"Madam, how do you knead this dough?"
Shen Jinan grabbed Gu Yanqing's hand without thinking and started teaching him step by step.
The soft dough wrapped around their fingers, and the close distance made their breaths entangled. Shen Jinan then realized something and quickly pulled his hand out.
"Learn, have you learned it?"
She stammered, a suspicious blush staining her fair cheeks.
Sparse light fell from the roof tiles onto Shen Jinan's rosy face. Gu Yanqing could even see the fine hairs on her face.
Just like summer peaches, emitting bursts of fragrance.
Gu Yanqing's Adam's apple rolled, and he lowered his eyes and replied, "My lady taught me so seriously, so of course I learned it."
The tips of his ears were red, and his big, bony hands were carefully kneading the dough.
Seeing that he was also shy, Shen Jinan couldn't help but laugh. She didn't expect her husband to be so innocent. She felt more and more that she had picked up a great bargain.
Shen Jinan was in a good mood. He hummed a little tune and started chopping the stuffing. Gu Yanqing kneaded the dough carefully beside him. The kitchen was full of warm scenes.
"Girls, what are we having for dinner today?" Hongniang rushed into the kitchen and smiled when she saw them working together.
"Hey, Master Gu is here too. How does that saying go? Men and women working together make work less tiring~"
Lady Hong said teasingly, her hearty laughter causing Shen Jinan to blush again.
"Oh, if you make fun of me again, you won't get any celery dumplings for lunch today!"
Shen Jinan stomped her feet like a little girl, and her cute and innocent look made Hong Niangzi even happier.
"Okay, okay, I won't bother you two anymore. I'll go see what my baby Sui Sui Huan Huan is doing."
Hongniang smiled sweetly and turned away like a gust of wind.
After half an hour, the aroma of dumplings spread from the kitchen to the study where Sui Sui Huanhuan was practicing calligraphy.
"It smells so good!" Yue Buwei, who was painted into a clown face by two children, jumped up.
"Mom made dumplings!" The clever Sui Sui guessed what would be for lunch immediately.
Dumplings, delicious dumplings.
Yue Buwei's saliva was about to flow out, and he hurriedly followed the two children into the yard.
I happened to meet Shen Jinan who came out with dumplings.
Shen Jinan looked at Yue Buwei, whose face was covered with scribbles, and was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Senior, you are truly unique today."
Hearing this teasing, Yue Buwei finally realized that he had walked in such a hurry that he forgot to wash the ink off his face.
"Oh my, this is so embarrassing." Yue Buwei said with a sad face.
Shen Jinan looked at Sui Sui Huanhuan who was laughing secretly beside him, and said seriously, "Don't bully Grandpa Yue. Go and help Grandpa wash his face."
"Okay, mother." Sui Sui Huanhuan also knew she was wrong and quickly responded.
The two dumplings each held Yue Buwei's hand and walked towards the backyard.
Gu Yanqing also came out with bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table one by one.
"It smells so good." Lady Hong smiled and sat down at the table. "Sister, your cooking skills are amazing."
"Since my sister likes it, I am willing to cook it for her all the time."
Shen Jinan said gently, and then picked up the secret dipping sauce and handed it to Hong Niangzi, "Try it. The dipping sauce I just invented today is simply amazing with celery and pork dumplings."
Hongniang couldn't wait to pick up a hot dumpling, roll it in the dipping sauce, and put it in her mouth.
The thin dumpling skin wraps the firm meatballs, mixed with the unique aroma of celery and the spicy dipping sauce, all bursting in your mouth.
Hongniang ate several of them and said they were delicious.
Yue Buwei also hurried over and started snatching the dumplings from Hongniang.
"You old man! How dare you snatch food from me?" Hongniang and Yue Buwei started to show their temper. They fought over the food and ate most of it.
Fortunately, Ana Shen had anticipated this scene and brought out three large plates of steaming dumplings from the kitchen.
"Don't rush to eat, eat slowly, there are plenty of dumplings, happy every year, husband, come and try some."
Sui Sui Huanhuan's little mouth was burned by the dumplings and she kept crying out but she refused to stop eating. Even Gu Yanqing, who was not a big eater, couldn't help but eat a few more.
Looking at the empty plates on the table, everyone patted their bellies contentedly, and Shen Jinan half-closed his eyes, like a satisfied cat.
Gu Yanqing still stood up and cleared the dishes. Hongniang kicked Yue Buwei in dissatisfaction, "Yue Buwei, don't eat for free, help me."
