Chapter 19 Bringing Afternoon Tea to Gu Linchuan
"Yes." Zhou Manman said.
"Okay, okay, I'll ask you to help me some other day."
After returning home, Zhou Manman put things in the kitchen and started working.
She first soaked the snake and medicinal herbs in a jar with wine.
Then, she took out some pork from the space and mixed it with the pork she bought.
After that, they began to divide the mugwort into two parts. One part was used to make fresh green rice balls, and the other part was placed in the sun for easy storage after drying. It could be used for Chen Chunmei and Gu Linchuan to soak their feet.
Zhou Manman washed the fresh mugwort, boiled it, rinsed it with cold water, then added water to make it into a paste and filtered out the mugwort juice.
Afterwards, Zhou Manman cooked the red beans while kneading the dough, adding mugwort juice and mixing them together.
Chen Chunmei heard the noise coming from the kitchen, walked in, and saw Zhou Manman kneading dough. She immediately came over and said, "Manman, what are you doing? Let me do it."
"No, Mom. I'll make you something delicious." Zhou Manman smiled at Chen Chunmei, "You can go out and have a rest."
"This..." It was the first time that Chen Chunmei saw Zhou Manman cooking. She was a little nervous. "Manman, don't force yourself. You've cured my health now. I can do the housework in the future."
"It's okay, Mom. Your body hasn't recovered yet. You have to rest for a few more days." Zhou Manman said, her face began to become serious. "I'm a doctor, Mom. I hope you can listen to me."
Since Zhou Manman said this, Chen Chunmei was afraid that Zhou Manman would be unhappy, so she could only turn around and walk out.
But she felt guilty in her heart. She didn't think it was a big deal when her daughter-in-law was lazy and gluttonous before.
After all, she is a girl from the capital, and she is willing to marry to a place like theirs in the mountains, so we can't let her down.
Now that Zhou Manman is taking the initiative to work, she feels a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Manman asked Chen Chunmei to leave. She mashed the cooked red beans into a paste and added a lot of white sugar.
Fortunately, she let Chen Chunmei leave, otherwise, if Chen Chunmei saw her spending the sugar like it was free, she would definitely feel distressed.
After making the fillings, just wrap them one by one.
It's past three in the afternoon.
She is quite fast.
While steaming the green rice dumplings, she took out some water from the space, heated it up, and added red dates and wolfberries.
There is not much water, only 500 milliliters, which is the size of a bottle of mineral water.
There's not enough drink for two people.
Therefore, Zhou Manman also added some ordinary water into it.
This is good, otherwise, one bottle of water would not be enough for two people.
After the green rice dumplings were steamed, Zhou Manman brought them and a bowl of red dates and wolfberry water to Chen Chunmei.
"Mom, try this. This is the qingtuan I made."
Chen Chunmei looked at the green food that looked like a steamed bun and was curious: "Manman, you can actually make this?"
Some of them also use mugwort juice to make buns, but for some reason, she felt that Zhou Manman's buns seemed to taste better.
Very delicate and shiny!
Chen Chunmei took a bite, and the sweet aroma of red beans overflowed. Her eyes lit up: "Delicious."
The filling inside is full of red beans, or red bean paste. It tastes sweet but not greasy when you take a bite.
"Mom, you should drink this water too." Zhou Manman said, "Red dates and wolfberry water is very good for replenishing qi and blood."
"Okay." Chen Chunmei ate the green rice dumpling and drank water at the same time. She actually felt that the water was particularly sweet.
After drinking it, a warm current flowed through my body, making me feel inexplicably comfortable.
Zhou Manman found an aluminum lunch box and a military kettle from the kitchen.
After packing her things, she said to Chen Chunmei, "Mom, I'll go give some to Linchuan."
It's tea time now.
Chen Chunmei felt relieved as she watched Zhou Manman leave with the things.
She is a little uncomfortable with how good Zhou Manman has become.
She has to be nicer to Zhou Manman in the future. This child is so good.
Zhou Manman carried her things to the fields to find Gu Linchuan.
In fact, Gu Linchuan initially had a job at a post office, where all he had to do was sit.
However, Gu Linchuan was unwilling to do so, as he felt that it was far from home and he wanted to be able to take care of his mother more conveniently.
That is why he now farms like everyone else.
Zhou Manman found Gu Linchuan.
At this time, Gu Linchuan was planting rice.
He rolled up his trousers, stepped into the wet water, and inserted clusters of seedlings into the mud.
Several people around me are doing this.
At this time, many people were stunned when they saw Zhou Manman.
Who in this team doesn’t know Zhou Manman?
Just because she is exceptionally beautiful and exceptionally lazy.
However, I have to say that Zhou Manman is very beautiful.
She was wearing a simple gray dress and black pants today. She tied all her hair behind her head. I don't know how she tied her hair, but it looked like a bun.
Revealing that delicate and beautiful face and slender neck.
In the sunlight, her skin glowed white and her cheeks were pink.
Just like peach blossoms, charming and delicate.
After working busy for most of the day, both men and women in the fields were sweating and their faces were sunburned.
No one is as refreshing as Zhou Manman, with such soft hair.
They envied and were jealous of Zhou Manman.
Gu Linchuan also noticed Zhou Manman.
He was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Manman to come.
Could she be going to see Fu Cheng again? However, Fu Cheng's job today seemed to be chopping wood...
But Zhou Manman walked towards him and said, "Hubby, how about taking a break? I just made some food for you to try."
Zhou Manman smiled and opened the lunch box.
Everyone around looked at them with envy.
Gu Linchuan saw two green buns in the lunch box. This is...
"I made the qingtuan, you can try it."
Zhou Manman even brought a handkerchief to wipe Gu Linchuan's hands.
Gu Linchuan took a bite. The sweet, soft and sticky food replenished his energy and immediately reduced his fatigue a lot.
"You did it?"
"Yes, you gave me money, so of course I have to make something delicious for you." Zhou Manman handed him the water again, "This water tastes good too."
Gu Linchuan finished eating the green rice dumpling and drank a sip of water.
This water...
He stared down at the kettle, but couldn't see any clues.
After Zhou Manman waited for him to finish eating, she packed up and said to him, "Come home early tonight. I'll make something delicious."
She decided to stew some braised pork.
"Okay." Gu Linchuan stared at Zhou Manman for a while and then continued to work.
But somewhere in my heart, there was a slump.
She is finally like a wife now, he takes care of the outside affairs while she takes care of the inside affairs.
This kind of life was what he had fantasized about before he got married.
Zhou Manman walked home with the things. From Gu Linchuan's reaction just now, she knew that he was very happy.
So, will what she wants appear in the space?
She was in great need of all kinds of medicinal herbs.
After walking for a while, I saw Fu Cheng.
He was leaning against a tree, a cigarette in his hand.
The man seemed to be slacking off at this moment, with his long legs lazily leaning sideways.
Puffing out smoke.
Bad fate!
Zhou Manman paused, trying to pretend she didn't see him walking past quickly.
Unexpectedly, Fu Cheng called her and chuckled, "Manman, come here."
