Chapter 48 Settling Down



Looking at the time, it's 10 a.m.

Lu Yulan thought for a moment. She needed to prepare lunch in advance today. Only after preparing everything would she have time to choose again in the afternoon.

Watching the interstellar male god having so much fun playing with the little green dumpling, Lu Yulan was once again certain that he really did have a lot of free time.

Are you leaving or not?

"I'm going to cook."

Lu Shangjiang bent his long legs, stood up, and unbuttoned his two cuffs.

"Then I'll help you."

"real?"

Lu Yulan was somewhat happy; she had been eating seafood and river delicacies for two months, and she also felt like crying.

So, she wanted to eat noodles.

The wheat in the garden was planted in March and should have matured in July.

As a result, I don't know if it was due to sunlight or something else, but the cycle was shortened anyway.

It has now matured.

She had planned to harvest the rice with Yuan Fei after planting it, but something went wrong.

The wheat hasn't been harvested yet.

Having Lu Yuanhong as a readily available source of labor is certainly a good thing.

She wanted to eat steamed buns, twisted rolls, rolled pancakes, and noodles.

My mouth is watering.

Seeing the little girl's invisible tail wagging, Lu Yuanhong suppressed the upward curve of his lips.

He coughed softly.

"Of course it's true."

May is the calmest time of year on the border, so it's usually the time for training new recruits.

He doesn't need to be on guard all the time.

However, the little girl's happiness caused Lu Yuanhong to feel a strange, indescribable emotion for a moment.

As a result, seeing half the yard filled with golden wheat ears, Lu Yuanhong felt relieved.

Lu Yulan roughly estimated that she had planted about one-tenth of an acre of wheat.

Normally, you can harvest about 90 jin of wheat, but the cucumbers have all grown up, so the wheat has naturally grown a lot as well.

The original millet grains have grown into round pearls. Peel one open, and its color is very yellow, almost like a bean.

I gently tasted a slightly greenish grain of wheat, bit into it, and revealed the milky white pulp inside, which flowed gently down my throat.

It has a sweet taste, a chewy texture, but not too tough. It has a rich, sweet flavor with a hint of tartness, like a light matcha cake.

As a child, Lu Yulan would secretly pick up green wheat ears, peel them open one by one, and gather twenty or thirty plump, green millet grains into her mouth.

As you chew slowly, the sweetness of the starch and the green plant aroma fill your brain.

The taste of food always brings joy.

Seeing the little girl squint her eyes happily, Lu Yuanhong also casually picked one up and, like Lu Yulan, put it in his mouth.

It tastes different from rice.

It has a rich sweetness and a light juiciness, yet it's not as bland as a nutritional supplement.

I always feel that the things little girls grow have an addictive quality.

"Is it delicious?"

Lu Yulan smiled gently, looking at Lu Yuanhong's somewhat absorbed expression.

"Hmm, what is this?"

"Wheat seeds, ground into flour, can be made into delicious food."

"So... I need my crush's help."

Seeing the little girl's somewhat mischievous and unguarded demeanor, Lu Yuanhong's doubts were dispelled.

Regardless, she is still the girl he raised, as kind as she was when she was a child.

I can still protect myself, can't I?

Without saying much, Lu Yuanhong got to work.

Perhaps because they had already witnessed Lu Yuanhong's spiritual power last time, they were not particularly surprised this time.

She simply directed Lu Yuanhong to neatly place the collected wheat grains into a container.

Originally, it should have been dried in the sun, but Lu Yulan couldn't wait, so she chose to dry it directly and grind it into a fine powder.

After sifting it one or two more times, it's ready to use.

So, today's lunch menu consists of steamed flower rolls, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and braised fish.

Making steamed buns is very simple. Just coat them with a little bit of cooked oil, then add your favorite chopped green onions and Sichuan peppercorn leaves, and roll them up layer by layer. If you like, you can also add a little bit of green chili pepper. Put them in a steamer and steam them, and they're ready to serve.

Even without side dishes, Lu Yulan could eat two by herself.

The steamed buns were very soft and fluffy, with a clean white dough. You could faintly smell their unique fragrance, mixed with the aroma of scallions and oil, making them even more tempting.

"Try it."

Lu Yulan looked at Lu Yuanhong expectantly. When she saw him open his mouth and gently bite down, she couldn't help but open her lips as well, but quickly closed them again because saliva was about to spill out.

Lu Yuanhong took a bite; it was incredibly soft, like a cloud on the horizon suddenly within reach.

At first, you experience the chewiness and firmness of the outer skin. But as you bite through each layer, the soft interior begins to reveal itself, with a sweetness mixed with another kind of fragrance—no, several kinds.

With the addition of several ingredients, several aromas dance on the tip of the tongue.

Before he knew it, Lu Yuanhong had eaten one.

"It's delicious."

He praised sincerely with his eyes.

Lu Yulan felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"As long as it tastes good."

Then I picked up the insulated box next to me and put all the steamed buns inside. The first batch will be sent to Grandpa Lu and his younger brother Lu.

Then, while the second batch of steamers is steaming, stir-fry some shredded potatoes.

Turning to look at the male god who was seriously cutting potato shreds with his mental power, she suddenly had a mischievous idea.

"Honey, do you eat spicy food?"

When Lu Yuanhong looked up, he saw Lu Yulan's slightly sly eyes and thought of the meat slices his younger brother had secretly brought him, and the addictive taste of them.
