"I'll put it away first, and eat what I have in my space instead. Today we'll fry some fish and meat, and stir-fry two or three dishes. That'll make do for lunch. We'll think about what to cook for dinner!"
Yunniang naturally had no objections. Considering there were many children today, Han Luoxue also made cartoon-shaped steamed buns.
The children from Aunt Xu's family all ran over, and Miao Mei and Miao Lan also came to help. Aunt Xu herself also came over happily.
"You've been busy all day, take a break first!"
Seeing the house so clean and tidy, Yunniang knew she had made the right choice. Aunt Xu was indeed reliable; she had always been very diligent when she was at home.
“I’m not tired either. They only woke up twice, drank some milk, and then went back to sleep. Miaozhu and Miaoju are keeping watch inside.”
"Aunt Xu, they're still children. Let them play when it's time to play!"
"They play inside the house and can keep an eye on Zhuangzhuang and Mengmeng at the same time."
Han Luoxue didn't continue to persuade her. She first squeezed the juice out of the green vegetables and mixed it with green flour, then added carrots and white flour, and the three colors were ready.
"Sister Xue'er, what are you doing?"
Miao Mei asked with a curious look.
"I want to make simple cartoon steamed buns!"
"Cartoon steamed buns?" The children didn't understand. Han Luoxue smiled and said that they were just like regular steamed buns, but children liked to eat them!
She made one first, and the two little maids wanted to help. Yunniang had indeed heated the oil in the pot and was preparing to fry something.
Besides frying fish and meat, Han Luoxue also took out a few apples, cut them into long pieces, coated them with batter, and fried some to keep at home as snacks for the children.
She has plenty of food on her side, but she doesn't want to let these children suffer.
Everyone was busy in the kitchen, and the aroma of food wafted all the way to the neighboring yard.
Wang Yaofa hadn't returned yet. Wang Yan sat in the courtyard, her little face scrunched up like a bun.
"Miss, why don't we go back inside?"
Mrs. Han next door cooks so well. I wonder what she made today. The aroma from the yard is so enticing.
"I don't want to go back!"
"How about we go and pay them a visit?" The little girl was also very tempted. When she went with her mistress before, she sat down and ate with her, and the taste was something she had never experienced before.
"Sister Han has someone at home today, she definitely doesn't want me to come!"
Wang Yan sighed, "I even want to learn to cook from Sister Han!"
The young maid broke out in a cold sweat. When had her young mistress ever cooked? If she were to actually cook, she might just burn the kitchen down!
Now she understood that Mrs. Han next door definitely had a special spice packet. As long as she added a little bit when cooking, no matter what she made, it would taste especially delicious.
"Miss, didn't Madam Han say last time that the sauce was made with peanuts and sesame seeds? Why don't we try it too?"
The little girl suggested that it was too unbearable to smell the aroma in the yard, so why not try making some herself?
"Okay, that works!"
The two, mistress and servant, rushed into the kitchen, startling everyone there, as their young mistress rarely came. Did she want something to eat?
Before anyone could ask anything, they were startled to hear the young lady say she was going to make something.
"Miss, just tell me what you'd like to eat, and I'll make it for you!"
The cook hurriedly tried to dissuade her, saying that she had kept the kitchen spotless and that if the young lady came and messed around with it, who knew what it would become in a moment?
"No need, just leave me some peanuts and sesame seeds!"
The cook was puzzled, but dared not stop her, and could only prepare the food for her.
After preparing everything, Wang Yan looked at the large peanuts and small sesame seeds, and then thought about what was on their dipping sauce plate, and she was filled with worry.
How do you make this thing like that?
"Miss, it seems we don't know how to do this!"
The girl was also at her wits' end. She could cook simple meals, but she couldn't do anything else!
"Miss Wang!"
Wang Yan was having a headache when she heard Xiao Tao's voice. She rushed out and saw Xiao Tao carrying a plate with a fragrant aroma.
"Miss Wang, our lady asked me to bring you some food. This is freshly made, including fried meat, fried fish, and fried apples. Please try it while it's hot."
Seeing the delicious food, Wang Yan's eyes lit up. She grabbed a piece, chewed it, and nodded repeatedly, "I've had fried meat before, but it's not as fragrant as Sister Han's!"
"That's for sure, our lady's cooking is absolutely superb! This long one is sweet, fried apple, you can keep it to eat as a snack later!"
Wang Yan nodded quickly, while the little girl beside her swallowed hard, but dared not touch it.
The cook's nose twitched. She had fried meat before, but why did it never smell this good? No, she needed to learn some experience, otherwise what would she do if her mistress disliked her and didn't want to use her anymore?
The cook stepped forward, a fawning smile on her face: "Little Peach, how did you fry this meat? It smells so good!"
Xiao Tao glanced at the cook and said, "I could never fry meat this fragrant. This is what my wife makes."
"I don't know how it was fried, it must be the lady's secret recipe!"
Since Xiao Tao had already said that, the cook couldn't press the matter further. Wang Yan was indeed even more surprised. No, she had to get on good terms with Madam Han and get the spices sooner or later.
After delivering the things, Xiao Tao hurried back. Just as she reached the door, Wang Yan asked, "Xiao Tao, do you know how that seasoning we had the other day was made? Sister Han said it was made with peanuts and sesame seeds. I'd like to make some too!"
"I don't know either, you can ask my wife later!"
Xiao Tao was in a great mood when she returned home. She felt so happy to be with the lady of the house, as she could eat delicious food every day.
Seeing Xiao Tao skipping and hopping back, Han Luoxue asked in surprise, "So happy?"
"Oh my, you don't know, even the cook from the Wang family next door was stunned. She even asked me how we made our fried meat!"
"So what did you say?" Yunniang was also a little curious.
"It must be the lady's secret recipe. How would I know how to make it?"
Hearing this, the two of them smiled helplessly.
Xiao Tao hurried over to help stoke the fire. Yun Niang looked at her earnest daughter and sighed, "Wang Yan has had a tough time. She's always wanted our family's secret recipe, and her father must be urging her to try it too! But she's made a lot of progress now; she hasn't asked you for it directly anymore!"
"Yes, I know that too. But I don't plan to sell this secret recipe for the time being."
Han Luoxue thought of the hot pot in the space. She ordered so much. Was the space planning to let her open a hot pot restaurant?
Should we open it in Yancheng, or wait until we return to the capital?
