"Time's up! Time's up—it's done!"
Zhou Cunzong, who was itching to get started and drooling, timed it perfectly. Once fifteen minutes had passed, he quickly ran over, put on thick gloves, and opened the bread oven.
He first took out the baking tray with the bread, then poked the other things with a stick.
The pumpkins sprinkled with a little sugar were baked well, and the smaller sweet potatoes were almost done too, but the larger ones weren't.
The pumpkin cookies and sweet potato cookies were also baked, and he quickly took them out and placed them on the table that had been moved there at some point.
"Mom, the bread is ready, come and have a taste." Zhou Cunzong put the food away and called to his mother.
"Wenxiu, Wenxiu, come here quickly." Zhou Cunzong hadn't even tasted the pumpkin bread himself before he picked it up and handed it to Shen Wenxiu.
Shen Wenxiu also helped her mother-in-law make pumpkin bread and cookies this time, mainly because Chen Suwen saw that Shen Wenxiu had a great talent for cooking, so she brought her along.
Once the daughter-in-law is trained well, she can have her daughter-in-law cook whatever delicious food she wants, freeing up her own hands.
She taught Shen Wenxiu how to make bread and cookies little by little, and perhaps Shen Wenxiu will be the one using the bread oven more often in the future.
Anyway, Chen Suwen can eat bread and cookies all the time, but if you ask her to make them herself, she will want to be lazy.
Before the apocalypse, she rarely made things herself; she either bought them or had others make them for her.
After the apocalypse, she would occasionally go and eat the food made by other chefs, either by spending points or crystal cores to buy it, or she would make a whole bunch and store them in her space.
As long as she stocks up enough, she can eat for a long time without having to cook often.
Shen Wenxiu took the bread her husband handed her, feeling a surge of sweetness in her heart.
Although she has been married to Zhou Cunzong for several years and now has children, he is still so good to her, which makes her very happy.
She was initially quite anxious when she gave birth to her two daughters, knowing that her mother-in-law was not satisfied with her.
Zhou Cunzong and she got together without consulting each other first. Although the marriage was approved by both sets of parents, neither set of parents was happy with the marriage.
After she married into the family, her mother-in-law treated her with disdain. If it weren't for her second sister-in-law, who was even more disliked by her mother-in-law, her life would have been even more difficult.
She knew her mother-in-law preferred grandsons to granddaughters. When she found out she was pregnant with twins, she hoped she could have twins like her sister-in-law, with at least one being a boy, so her mother-in-law wouldn't dislike her even more.
Who knew they would both be daughters?
At that time, she felt that her future days would be even more miserable, and that her mother-in-law would hate her even more and torment her even more.
Unexpectedly, although her mother-in-law was still not very kind to her and usually ignored her, at least she didn't mistreat her.
She wasn't mistreated during her postpartum period, and her life wasn't much different from before after she finished her postpartum period, which relieved her.
What pleased her most was Zhou Cunzong's attitude.
He didn't complain about her because she only had a daughter and no son; he treated her as well as always, which made her very happy.
Today, her mother-in-law even took her along and taught her how to make bread.
This is supposedly a food from the Westerners' region. It's very expensive at the Overseas Chinese Market, and sometimes you can't even buy it.
I never expected my mother-in-law to know how to cook it, and even be willing to teach her.
"Try it, it smells so good!" Zhou Cunzong urged his wife to taste it, as he could feel how soft the bread was as soon as he picked it up.
The freshly baked bread still smelled delicious, and the aroma was so enticing that his mouth watered constantly.
Shen Wenxiu nodded, took a bite of the bread with both hands, and felt as if she were eating cotton.
Although both are made of flour, this pumpkin bread has a different texture than steamed buns.
It has the sweetness of pumpkin, the savory sweetness of white sugar, and the delicate aroma of wheat flour; it's delicious.
"Delicious!" Shen Wenxiu's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected the bread her family made to be so tasty.
In fact, Shen Wenxiu has eaten bread before in her life. Even if her parents favored boys over girls, her family was not so poor that they couldn't afford a loaf of bread.
Guangzhou was originally a relatively prosperous city, and there used to be many foreigners there. It was also next to Hong Kong and Macau.
Previously, people from Hong Kong and Macau, as well as foreigners, frequently visited Guangzhou.
Therefore, there are bakeries around here. The Shen family has bought bread a few times. Although Shen Wenxiu only got a little bit, she has eaten bread sold outside.
Now she thinks the pumpkin bread she makes at home tastes even better.
"You should try it, it tastes really good, much better than the bread we bought before."
When Zhou Cunzong was dating her, he treated her to some old-fashioned bread sold outside, but she felt that the taste was not as good as the bread she had now.
Upon hearing her say that, Zhou Cunzong quickly picked up a piece of bread and started eating.
"Mmm, it's delicious, so delicious!"
Chen Suwen didn't even look at her adopted son and daughter-in-law. She took a piece of bread, cut it in half, and handed the other half to Ye Yulian beside her.
"Come on, Yulian, try my bread and see if it's delicious."
Ye Yulian and she have a very good relationship, and they have gotten along even better recently. She is very generous in sharing the delicious food she has with Ye Yulian.
Ye Yulian didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite of it.
"You're getting more and more amazing, Suwen! You can even make Western bread now." Ye Yulian was amazed by the taste of the pumpkin bread.
