Chapter 331 Dessert
The next day.
Ye Qian crawled for a long time in the morning and then glared at Gu Jinyan who was cleaning her up. Gu Jinyan also knew that he had bullied her too much yesterday, so he coaxed Ye Qian who couldn't get up and said, "Sleep a little longer, it's still early, I have to go to work first."
Ye Qian couldn't get up either, so she simply lay down again and slept until noon.
When she went downstairs at noon, she felt the pitiful gazes of the three children again. She had promised to play with them. Ye Qian coughed, turned her face away, washed up, and sat down to eat lunch with the three children.
Xixi looked at Ye Qianguan and said, "Mom, what are we going to do this afternoon? Can we go out and play?"
Ye Qian couldn't handle the three children by herself, especially Ningning who was too wild and unruly. She was worried about taking the children out alone, so she didn't agree: "Mom will take you to play at home."
The three children were a little disappointed, but they also asked Ye Qian: "What are you playing at home?"
Ye Qian thought about it, but couldn't think of anything to play for a moment. Then she had an idea: "How about mom cook for you at home in the afternoon." When cleaning the space, she found that there were still a lot of chicken legs, chicken fillets, and French fries. The children had never eaten desserts since they were born, so she could make them a daifuku, or a towel roll as in later generations. These can be made without an oven.
When they heard there was food, the children quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks. The three children were very smart. As long as Ye Qian took out something, it would taste good. Not only were they smart, but they were also very picky. This was because after someone snatched away their snacks when they went out to play with other kids, they knew that good things should be hidden and not told to others.
At first, she was worried that this would have a negative impact on the child's psychology, but after observing, Ye Qian felt that it was okay. Apart from being tight-lipped outside, the three of them would still share food at home. After observing for a while, Ye Qian didn't say much.
Seeing the children put down their bowls and chopsticks, with a lot of leftovers still in their bowls, Ye Qian frowned: "Aren't you going to eat anymore?"
The three children shook their heads in unison: "We want to eat delicious food."
"Then what should we do with all your meals? Didn't mom tell us not to waste food? There are many children out there who don't have enough to eat and are so skinny. It's shameful for you to waste food like this." Ye Qian taught the three children carefully without losing her temper. She usually took care of fewer children, so she would be more patient when encountering problems, and she was also happy to reason with the children.
Ning Ning said with a distressed look: "But now if I eat too much, I won't be able to eat anymore in a while."
"But even though mom said she would cook, she didn't say when we can eat. If you don't eat enough now, you won't have anything to eat if you get hungry later. Eat your meal first. Even if you want to eat, it won't be that fast."
"Okay." The three children picked up their chopsticks again and started eating bite by bite.
After lunch, Ye Qian played with the children first, and then went out with a backpack on her back. It was impossible for her to get the food out at home, which was not realistic. She simply went out to find a deserted place and hid in the space to look at yesterday's dishes. She would go back later and use these snacks as a substitute for dinner.
Ye Qian knew these things were unhealthy, but she didn't eat them every day. This wasn't the afterlife, so how could she afford to eat these good things every day? She was just satisfying her cravings. She wasn't a very competent mother herself. She just wanted to be friends with her children and didn't want to use her status as an elder to force them to do this or that. She didn't like it, so it made sense that the children wouldn't like it either.
Ye Qian walked for about 5 minutes, found an empty corner, and slipped into the space. The vegetables planted yesterday were already fully grown. Ye Qian quickly used her mind to collect one batch of vegetables and put them aside. She would not go out for a while, so she should be able to collect some more vegetables and then put them together in the other space for storage.
Of course, besides ginseng, even laymen know that the older ginseng is planted, the more valuable it is. Yesterday, she planted about a dozen ginseng seeds, but just by looking at the exposed parts, she couldn't tell whether they had grown or not. Ye Qian squatted beside the ginseng seeds for a long time, observing them. After harvesting a batch of vegetables, she finally decided to pull one out and see what happened next.
Ye Qian stretched out her hands and dug the soil around the ginseng. Soon, she saw the whole ginseng. She took it in her hands and looked at it carefully. It was longer, but much smaller than the ginseng she bought at the pharmacy yesterday. It seemed that ginseng could be grown, but it would take much longer than vegetables.
The ginseng in her hand had been dug out. Ye Qian wasn't sure if it would continue to grow if she buried it again. Since it was already dug out, she might as well eat it. She really didn't have enough chicken soup yesterday. She should have stewed two chickens directly. This one was perfect for taking out today. She would stew it and eat it in a few days.
Ye Qian was not idle either. She looked at the fish and shrimps, and harvested a few crops of vegetables. After placing the vegetables next door with her mind, she took out a bag of chicken legs, chicken chops, a bag of French fries, fruits, and bottled cream, and put some more vegetables in the backpack. These were all for the children. Thinking of this, Ye Qian took out a bottle of ketchup, washed it, packed it, and put it in the backpack. Then she left the space and headed back home.
After Ye Qian got home, she put the dishes into the kitchen first. She looked at the time and felt that it was still early, so she decided to make dessert first. She first mixed glutinous rice flour and water in a good ratio and steamed them in a pot. After steaming, they became sticky. She fried some dry glutinous rice flour and kneaded the steamed skin and fried glutinous rice flour together. Then she rolled them into a thin layer with a rolling pin, put them in a large bowl, added cream and fruit, then wrapped them up and pinched them, and a big blessing was formed.
They made 8 in a row before they used up all the skins. Then they mixed some batter and boiled the thin skins in a pan to make towel rolls. The fire below was too high and several pieces of skins were burnt, but they didn't mind because they were going to eat them anyway. Then they used the same method, adding cream and fruit.
Apart from anything else, the fruit's flavor came from the space, and the mushy skin added a lot of points. In the end, after making five towel rolls, the skin was all used up, leaving some chopped fruit, which Ye Qian enjoyed all by herself without hesitation.
After everything was done, Ye Qian took the finished desserts to the living room. The children couldn't wait any longer. As soon as Ye Qian said "Let's eat", the little hands took a daifuku and started eating without hesitation. After eating several mouthfuls, they said, "Mom, it's so delicious."
"Yes, it's delicious."
"Delicious." The little girl hadn't finished her food yet, but she wanted to tell Ye Qian that the dessert was delicious. Her voice was soft and sweet, which was very pleasant to hear. Ye Qian smiled and touched her head. The little girl also gave her a sweet smile, then reached out and handed the daifuku she had already eaten to Ye Qian, saying, "Eat it, Mommy."
