Chapter 264 The Life of Aunt Wen in the Modern Era (36)



Once everyone had walked away, what could Tang Baozhu do? She could only continue picking out the mushrooms and stringing them together.

She rubbed her sore arms, feeling like she was almost blinding herself from threading the needle. Luckily, she was in good health, otherwise she would have given up.

Thinking of the shredded mushrooms I had just picked out, I was preparing to make mushroom sauce, but it seemed like I was missing some spices like chili and garlic.

Although Tang Baozhu had plenty of spices in her small space, she just didn't have an excuse to take them out.

With the dried chilies and garlic we have at home, I feel like we'll be pretty much done using them up after making all the mushroom sauce.

Thinking it best to have Feng Yi buy them tomorrow, I'll use those for now and focus on the mushrooms we have. If we don't cook them tonight, they might spoil by tomorrow, which would be such a waste.

I'm not sure if the few chili peppers planted outside the yard will ever turn red. With the current weather, even the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in the wasteland can only ripen once because they're in the south.

At least they can survive until they mature. If they were in the north, they might freeze to death in the ground before they mature.

Perhaps it was because I had become more skilled, but I quickly strung all the mushrooms together and hung them under the eaves. It looked quite satisfying.

Then clean up the broken mushrooms that you picked out, and wash them all thoroughly. If they are too broken, you can't use them because they won't wash away if you pour water on them.

Whole mushrooms are hung outside to dry, while those cut in half are left to rot. Picking them by hand is too slow, so I slowly control my supernatural ability and walk over the mushrooms.

After the superpower passed over the mushroom, the filth was also carried away. Tang Baozhu did not expect that just trying it would have such a great effect.

The next task was simple. Before Feng Yi returned, they quickly processed all the superpowers on the mushrooms, leaving the grime that rolled out aside. The effect was simply too good.

Tang Baozhu thought she was really clever for finding a way to be lazy. She cleaned everything up before Feng Yi came back, filling the enamel basin to the brim, and then took it to the kitchen to use when making the sauce later.

I swept the entire living room clean. There were so many fallen leaves and pine needles everywhere. At first, I didn't have time to clean the living room, but now that I have time, I quickly cleaned them up.

Feng Yi came back right after I finished sweeping. I was originally thinking that I would make mushroom sauce and have him skewer the mushrooms here after he came back, but when I saw him, I immediately remembered that the original owner of this body didn't know how to cook, and all my enthusiasm vanished.

"Brother Yi, I've washed those chopped mushrooms and put them in the kitchen. You can go and make them into mushroom sauce. I'll take care of the rest of the mushrooms."

Feng Yi didn't leave immediately. He squatted down in front of Tang Baozhu and said, "You've been squatting for so long. Are you feeling uncomfortable? If you're not feeling well, go and rest for a while. I'll take care of it when I get back."

"How could I possibly get tired when I'm so capable?"

Actually, Tang Baozhu was a little tired, but seeing how Feng Yi had been working non-stop since he went on his mission yesterday, she felt that he was much more tired than her. How could she say she was tired? Compared to him, she was much more relaxed.

Seeing the tenderness in the girl's eyes, Feng Yi felt sweeter than if he had eaten honey. He told himself that this was enough; the girl cared about him, and he should be content.

But for some reason, even though he told himself to be content, Feng Yi was still greedy. He wanted the girl to love him wholeheartedly, just as he loved her wholeheartedly, and he also wanted her to bear his children. Only then would he be satisfied with his life.

Tang Baozhu had no idea what the person in front of her was thinking. If she did, she might think he was a bit of a yandere, and that his mind was tormenting him to the point of being abnormal.

He appears normal on the outside, but he is also bound by moral principles, preventing him from going completely insane.

"Let's skewer them together. After we're done, we can use the remaining chopped mushrooms to make a sauce. Do you want to go mushroom picking again tomorrow?"

Feng Yi took another needle from the sewing basket beside him, threaded it with white thread, and began to pick out the better mushrooms and string them together one by one.

"Brother Yi, have you picked all the mushrooms on the mountain yet? If they haven't gone bad by tomorrow, go pick some more. I feel that dried mushrooms aren't as tasty as mushroom sauce, so I'm thinking of making a few more jars of mushroom sauce. By the way, mushroom sauce should last a long time, right? I'm really worried that they won't last long and will spoil."

Tang Baozhu seemed to remember that there was no cooked mushroom sauce in the space, but there were various beef sauces, quite a lot of chili sauces, even various kinds of chopped chilies, and a lot of pickled vegetables, but there was no mushroom sauce or mushroom beef sauce.

It's not that I don't know how to do it, but I've forgotten. However, Feng Yi's skills are so good, and I feel they're not much worse than mine. It's a good opportunity to secretly learn from him and then compare our skills to see who is better.

The only pity is that I can't show off my skills and have to pretend to be a novice chef, which is really unpleasant.

If the girl hadn't been a kitchen disaster, she wouldn't have felt so aggrieved, without even a chance to defend herself.

After skewering the mushrooms, she quickly picked out the broken ones. With Feng Yi here, she couldn't use her special ability to clean up the bad stuff.

Indeed, if you want a convenient life, you should live alone; living with someone else might be inconvenient.

I could only patiently and slowly clean each flower one by one, then take them to the kitchen to wash them again. Only after confirming they were clean could I breathe a sigh of relief. This was much more tiring than using superpowers to clean them, and there was so much extra work involved.

"Honey, go rest for a bit. We'll cook noodles for dinner tonight, with mushroom sauce. It should taste pretty good. Do you like it? If you don't, we'll make something else."

"No need to change it, Yi-ge, let's just have noodles. The fresh mushroom sauce goes well with the noodles, so I'll just wait for what's ready."

Tang Baozhu carried a stool and sat down outside the living room. She had only been sitting down for a short while when she felt a lot of mosquitoes biting her.

I remember when I was clearing weeds a while ago, I pulled up a lot of mugwort leaves. I threw them all aside to dry, intending to use them as firewood in the kitchen. I should be able to find them in the kitchen now.
