Chapter 93: Learning to Make Tofu



He Xiaomi excitedly talked to Jiang Cheng for a long time. When Jiang Cheng was about to leave, He Xiaomi emphasized to Jiang Cheng that his wood carvings must be kept by Jiang Cheng and Jiang Cheng must get a share.

Only after Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement did He Xiaomi feel relieved.

When Jiang Cheng was about to go back, He Xiaomi sent him to the door of the Song family before leaving.

Jiang Cheng wanted to keep him for dinner, but He Xiaomi said he had something to do at home and didn't want to stay for dinner, so he went back.

After Jiang Cheng entered the house, he just happened to catch the family dinner. Xu Sanniang scooped another bowl of chicken soup for Jiang Cheng. Under the expectant eyes of his family, Jiang Cheng reluctantly drank a bowl and a half and could not drink any more.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Cheng walked in the yard, touching her round belly. She even burped while walking.

"It's only the first day, Mom is exaggerating!" Jiang Cheng walked for a long time and still felt a little full.

This is only the first day, and there are still more than eight months to go!

"Mom is worried about you!" Song Tingzhi supported Jiang Cheng and looked at his hopeless expression, comforting him.

"Oh, I get it. I'm just afraid that I'll feel like vomiting when I see chicken soup after giving birth!" Jiang Cheng knew that Xu Sanniang felt sorry for him, so he cooperated and drank a lot.

"It's okay. I'll go to the mountain to hunt some game and bring it back for you to replenish your energy." Song Tingzhi patted Jiang Cheng's waist and coaxed him softly.

Jiang Cheng glanced at Song Ting and laughed out loud, "How could I be so delicate!"

"I think if you have it, then you have it!" Song Tingzhi said to Jiang Cheng as he pulled him back.

After digesting the food for a while, Song Tingzhi asked Jiang Cheng to go back to the house, and he went to get him some pregnancy-preserving medicine.

After Jiang Cheng drank the medicine, he felt very sleepy not long after lying on the bed. Song Tingzhi tidied him up and went to sleep with him.

The next day, Song Tingzhi woke up early and went to the mountain to see if he could hunt the prey to change Jiang Cheng's taste.

When Jiang Cheng woke up, he was greeted with a bowl of yam and pork ribs soup. Xu Sanniang was afraid that Jiang Cheng would get tired of drinking chicken soup all the time, so she went to the pork stall early in the morning and bought some pork ribs for Jiang Cheng to eat.

Xu Sanniang went to the barefoot doctor specifically to get some nourishing recipes for pregnant women, planning to make different ones for Jiang Cheng every day.

Jiang Cheng looked at the yam and pork rib soup in front of him, let it cool, and then drank it. After finishing it, Jiang Cheng burped.

"How is it? How does my cooking taste?" Xu Sanniang hadn't made such a formal soup for a long time, and asked Jiang Cheng expectantly.

"It tastes good! Burp——" Jiang Cheng burped again and praised.

"That's fine. If it tastes good, drink more. Mom makes it for you every day!" Xu Sanniang held the bowl in one hand and took Jiang Cheng's hand as she walked out. "After you finish eating, you should walk more. Otherwise, your belly will get bigger and you won't want to walk anymore."

Xu Sanniang first put the bowl in the woodshed, and then came out to talk to Jiang Cheng.

Song Yu was drinking yam and pork rib soup in the house. As he drank, he asked Song Tao, "Dad, can I drink such delicious soup every day in the future?"

"Of course! Xiaoyu, if you want to drink, you can tell your mother!" Song Tao closed the book. "Besides, your mother won't give you anything you want!"

Song Yu stuck out his tongue and continued to drink his soup.

Just as Jiang Cheng and Xu Sanniang were talking, the door rang. When Xu Sanniang went to open the door, she saw Zhang Ermei and Niu Er standing at the door carrying things.

"Is this...what's going on?" Xu Sanniang thought for a moment after asking, then turned sideways. "Come in first!"

"Thank you." Niu Er bowed slightly, then carried the things and took Zhang Ermei in.

Niu Er greeted Jiang Cheng when he passed by him. Seeing him like this, Zhang Ermei glared at Jiang Cheng unhappily.

Xu Sanniang walked to Jiang Cheng's side, and they looked at each other. Seeing the doubts on both sides, Xu Sanniang paused, then led him in.

"Is there something wrong?" After they sat down, Xu Sanniang poured them each a glass of water, then asked Jiang Cheng to call Song Tao out, and then she sat down and asked.

"I want to..." Zhang Ermei hesitated for a moment at Niu Er's signal and was about to speak, but she couldn't save face and said, "You say it!"

"Aunt Xu, we are here because we want you to teach us how to make tofu." Niu Er glanced at Zhang Ermei and thought she was useless, so he said to himself.

"Making tofu?" Xu Sanniang thought they were here for something, but this is all they got? "Isn't tofu easy to make? What else do you need to learn?"

Xu Sanniang didn't understand. Tofu is not difficult to make, it just takes a lot of time, so not many people are willing to make it.

"Yes, tofu is simple. We make it at home, but it's not as delicious as yours." Niu Er flattered, "Not only you, but Jiang Cheng's is also very good!"

As Niu Er was talking, he saw Jiang Cheng coming out and praised him as well.

When Zhang Ermei heard Niu Er say this, she was so angry that her teeth were itching. When they were not paying attention, she secretly pinched Niu Er's leg.

Niu Er felt the pain and gave him a warning look.

"Thank you." Jiang Cheng heard Niu Er say this as soon as he came out. Before he could react, he politely thanked Niu Er and then found a place to sit next to Xu Sanniang.

"What are you talking about? How can what I cook be so delicious!" Xu Sanniang blushed at Niu Er's flattery.

Xu Sanniang was used to being straightforward, and she felt very proud when Niu Er praised her like that.

"Don't be so modest! We just want you to teach Ermei so that she can learn it too and sell it in our village." Niu Er's ultimate goal is to let Zhang Ermei learn how to make tofu, and then let Xu Sanniang stop coming to Lihua Village.

This is the task assigned to him by the village chief, he must complete it well!

"Oh, is that so! Then why don't you go to other villages to sell? How much can you sell in Lihua Village? It's not worth it if you make less!"

Xu Sanniang felt that it would be a huge loss for them to sell the goods in Lihua Village.

"Yes, we can just sell it in the village!" Niu Er said, "Auntie, you know that our Lihua Village has always been quite exclusive and doesn't like outsiders to come. We also don't like to hang out in other villages, so..."

"Okay, I happen to be free these few days, come and learn!" Xu Sanniang heard his tone and knew the problems in their village. She didn't hide it. Since he came to her, she might as well teach him.

Although he had some unpleasantness with Zhang Ermei before, she is married now and he is about to have a grandchild, so he doesn't care about it anymore.

"Thank you, auntie." Niu Er got the answer he wanted, so he thought about leaving the things he brought behind and taking Zhang Ermei back first.

As a result, Xu Sanniang pulled him back in time and asked him to take the things back. Niu Er and Xu Sanniang argued for a while, and finally Niu Er won.

Niu Er successfully left the things behind and left with Zhang Ermei.

Xu Sanniang politely sent them to the door before going back.
