Su Miaomiao answered casually.
"We'll have bracken and pork buns for dinner."
"I haven't eaten it, but it must be delicious if made by my sister-in-law. How can I help now?"
Seeing Zhang Xing's expectant look, Su Miaomiao didn't hesitate and spoke directly.
"If you have time, help me chop the stuffing."
"Okay, I'll go check the herbs and be right back chopping the stuffing."
Zhang Xing had just gone out when the children came back after hearing some noise in the outer room.
"Mom, what shall we do?"
Su Miaomiao intended to cultivate the children's living and leadership abilities. She raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the bracken and meat, and said gently.
"Your task now is to clean the bracken and the piece of meat in the basin. I hope you can cooperate with each other to complete it. Let's play a little game together from today, okay?"
When the children heard they were going to play a game, they immediately agreed happily and said, "Okay."
Seeing that the children agreed, Su Miaomiao continued.
"From now on, the five of you will form a task force. I will assign tasks to you. It will be up to the leaders among you to break down the tasks and assign them to each employee."
"You will take turns being small leaders every day, in order from the oldest to the youngest. Leaders don't have to work, they just need to assign tasks to employees."
"The four people besides the leader are employees."
"Xiao Jing will be the junior leader today. Your task now is to break down the tasks of washing pork and bracken into smaller parts and assign them to your younger brothers. Breaking down tasks means breaking down a large task into smaller ones, such as who will be responsible for holding the basin, who will be responsible for pouring water, and who will be responsible for washing."
Su Miaomiao explained the rules in one breath and then asked.
"Do you understand what I said?"
The children nodded.
"I understand."
"Okay." Su Miaomiao raised the corner of her mouth in satisfaction, "Now Xiao Jing, the young leader, can assign tasks to your employees."
Xiao Jing nodded heavily, and then spoke solemnly to his four younger brothers.
"Xiao Zhong, you are responsible for washing the bracken."
"Xiao Bao, you are responsible for washing the meat."
"Xiao Guo, you are responsible for filling the basin with water"
"Xiao Yong, you are responsible for bringing the water to where the vegetables need to be washed."
Xiao Jing assigned the tasks, and the four younger brothers cooperated very well and immediately started working according to the tasks assigned by Xiao Jing.
Su Miaomiao thought that the children would need some time to adjust, for example, someone would be dissatisfied with his or her task and want to change to something else, or feel that he or she has more work and others have less work and express displeasure.
But there is none of that.
She looked at the children in surprise as they cooperated with each other in such a harmonious way, and once again felt deeply the deep affection between the children.
Su Miaomiao was very pleased to see them like this.
With five children and Zhang Xing to help share the burden, Su Miaomiao felt much more relaxed.
An hour later, Su Miaomiao said as she lifted the lid of the pot.
"The fragrant buns are out of the pot."
The children gathered around and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow" when they saw the big buns steaming in the pot.
Even Zhang Xing couldn't help but shout out in excitement.
"Oh my god, it smells so good, sister-in-law, how come everything you do smells so good?"
Su Miaomiao picked up the buns into the basin with chopsticks. She looked at these little greedy cats and said with a smile.
"Smells good, right? Go set the table, and then we can start eating!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Xing turned around and put the table away without saying a word.
Zhang Xing asked as he put the table aside.
"Sister-in-law, why don't we wait for brother to have dinner?"
"No, time is tight. I'll pick them up with the buns in a bit, and we'll go straight to town. We'll try to get there early and come back early."
"That's fine too. Sister-in-law will bring some more for my brother later. He does a lot of physical work and consumes a lot of energy, so he needs to eat more."
"knew."
As she was speaking, Su Miaomiao brought a large bowl of plump white buns to the table.
Su Miaomiao saw that the time was good, so she prepared to have dinner at home before picking up Xiao Yunfei.
She hadn't eaten buns stuffed with fern for a long time, and she couldn't stand the smell of the fragrant buns anymore.
She brought the seasoning and put it on the table.
"Vinegar, soy sauce, chili oil, pour whatever you want to dip it in."
As she spoke, she sat down, took the vinegar bottle and poured some into her bowl, and then added some chili oil.
Zhang Xing and the children always eat buns directly.
At this moment, the children saw Su Miaomiao pouring vinegar and soy sauce, and they also followed suit and poured some.
Seeing this, Zhang Xing picked up the soy sauce and asked.
"Sister-in-law, can I also put chili oil in this soy sauce?"
"Yes, soy sauce can add a salty and fragrant flavor to the buns, and vinegar can add a sour taste to the buns, making them more refreshing and helping with digestion. Chili oil is spicy and stimulating."
After hearing Su Miaomiao's explanation, Zhang Xing understood and poured soy sauce and chili oil into his bowl.
He first took a bite of the bun directly, then dipped it in some soy sauce and chili oil and took another bite.
He was surprised to find that it was indeed different, with a richer taste and better flavor.
Zhang Xing pointed to his bowl and said.
"This is delicious, please try it."
After hearing this, the children took their buns and dipped them in Zhang Xing's bowl. After eating, they praised the food highly.
Zhang Xing also imitated the children and couldn't wait to take the bun and dip it in Xiao Zhong's bowl.
"Well, it tastes good with vinegar, but I still think it tastes better with soy sauce."
The children also chose their favorite flavors.
Su Miaomiao felt even better when she saw Zhang Xing and the children so happy.
When she finished her meal, Zhang Xing and the children had not yet finished eating, so she stood up and said.
