After cart after cart of vegetables were brought home, Grandma Lin and her maternal grandmother helped weigh and record the quantities.
Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu came over to cook around seven o'clock after dawn.
Logically speaking, breakfast should be easy to make. Just wash some rice, cook some porridge, mix some side dishes, and heat up some steamed buns.
But Ninth Master and Ninth Granny were concerned that Lin Anshu and the others had started working early this morning and were quite tired.
I was thinking of coming over to make them a little more substantial breakfast to help them recover.
Now that they were here, Grandma Lin and Grandma Lin focused on what they were doing.
After Ninth Master and Ninth Granny entered the kitchen, they began preparing the food with practiced ease.
Today, he plans to fry some egg dough sticks.
In addition to fried dough sticks, make some fried pancakes that can be filled with vegetables.
Stir-fry some hot and sour shredded potatoes, water spinach, and make a cold salad with wood ear mushrooms and onions.
Cook another pot of Henan-style spicy soup with meatballs.
No need for congee, just replace it with white fungus and red date soup.
The white fungus and red date soup I cooked the day before was so delicious that everyone who ate it was completely mesmerized.
Because the white fungus is a genuine mountain product, although it looks small, its quality is top-notch.
It took two hours just to make the soup.
Of course, the white fungus soup I made was delicious!
If the first batch of white fungus hadn't been produced in such small quantities, barely enough for his own consumption, Ji Chuan would have bought a lot and sent it back long ago.
In that case, Ninth Master and Ninth Granny would have to spend a long time just on the preliminary preparations.
After Lin Anshu and the others finished picking vegetables and returned home, they heard Ninth Master's cheerful voice.
"An'an, you're back? Are you hungry?"
"I'll make you fried eggs and fried dough sticks today."
While preparing, Ninth Master had already prepared the white fungus and red date soup and the side dishes he wanted to eat.
He even cut up a few sweet potatoes because he was bored, and then cut them into pieces.
I coated the diced sweet potatoes with flour and starch, then deep-fried them in oil to make fragrant and sweet sweet potato cakes.
This was made in an air fryer, for reference only.
"Fried dough sticks? Great! I suddenly realized I haven't had them in ages, I'm really craving them." Lin Anshu was very supportive.
"Ninth Master, Ninth Master, fry up more! I love your cooking the most." Ji Chuan slumped into a chair, looking towards the kitchen.
"Hehe, done!"
"Does Yibao like fried dough sticks?"
As soon as Granny Jiu came out, she saw Xu Yi obediently squatting on the ground washing her hands, and immediately asked softly.
"Good morning, Grandma Jiu! Yi Yi loves fried dough sticks!"
"Not only does Brother Ji Chuan like the food that Ninth Master and Ninth Granny make, but Yi Yi also loves it!"
"Because Ninth Master's cooking is really delicious."
"Hehe, okay, okay, then Ninth Master will fry up more for Yi Bao, so Yi Bao can eat slowly."
"Mmm!" Xu Yi nodded happily.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin are helping Lin Anshu sort and store the vegetables, and loading them into the car.
Xu Yi's parents were the same.
Although the adults didn't say anything, after listening to what Ninth Master and Lin Anshu said, they all felt hungry.
In the kitchen, after the oil was heated, Ninth Master put the prepared dough for frying dough sticks one by one into the hot oil.
Then, he used a pair of long chopsticks to turn it over continuously.
Soon, as if by magic, the dough transformed into golden and crispy fried dough sticks.
After Ninth Master fished out a few, he scooped out another batch and then shouted outside.
"The first batch of fried dough sticks is ready. Come and eat first, then you can get back to work."
"Okay!"
Upon hearing that they could eat, Ji Chuan, who had been slumped in his chair as if his soul had been ripped out, jumped up instantly like a zombie resurrected.
He washed his hands very quickly and then expertly helped set out the table, chairs, and chopsticks for the meal.
Afterwards, Xu Yi and the other person went in and out, bringing the dishes prepared in the kitchen, such as white fungus soup and meatball hot and sour soup, to the table.
"These fried dough sticks look so delicious! And there's no high-tech involved!"
"I declare that Ninth Master is awesome!" Ji Chuan couldn't help but exclaim.
"Alright, eat it while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste as good as it does now."
So everyone present gathered around the large table.
Apart from Ninth Master, who is still frying dough sticks, and Ninth Granny, who is tending the fire.
"Eat up, what are you standing there for? Don't wait for me, I'm almost done frying."
Seeing that everyone was sitting there without moving, Ninth Master came out again to urge them on.
They also casually stuffed Granny Jiu onto the table.
"Wow, it's just as I thought, oh no, it's even tastier than I imagined!"
"These fried dough sticks are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and have a wonderful aroma. They're also nutritious and healthy. I love them so much."
"And this spicy soup, it warms the stomach and heart, the broth is delicious, the consistency is just right, and the spiciness is just right. Paired with the handmade meatballs made by Ninth Master, oh my god, it's so delicious I could die."
After Ji Chuan finished speaking, he saw everyone diligently eating fried dough sticks with side dishes, and occasionally taking a sip of spicy soup.
He was the only one who kept muttering to himself while eating, so when he fell behind, he immediately shut up and began to concentrate on eating.
It's just a simple bowl of spicy soup, but it contains gluten, kelp, shredded noodles, peanuts, meatballs, and more.
Adding some chopped scallions or cilantro makes it even more delicious and visually appealing.
When Ji Chuan was eating his third fried dough stick, he broke off a piece and threw it into his bowl of spicy soup.
Then, scoop it up and put it in your mouth.
My goodness, the combination of such delicious flavors was so good that he almost swallowed his tongue.
Waaah, if he could eat this comfortably and happily every day, he would be willing to stay here and work forever, really!
Honestly, with his base salary of 2800, it probably wouldn't even be enough to cover his food expenses.
So he also has to thank his cousin for introducing him to this place.
Hehehe.
Soon, Ninth Master brought over some hot fried dough sticks.
After folding the fried dough in half, add some of the mushroom sauce that Ninth Master made the day before, and then add some cold vegetables.
One bite and it's incredibly delicious.
Afterwards, there are golden, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside sweet potato cakes that are not greasy, along with a refreshing, sweet and delicious, fragrant, and intoxicating white fungus soup.
It's no exaggeration to say that everyone was stuffed after this breakfast.
This was actually the first time Xu Yi's parents had formally stayed at Lin Anshu's house for a meal.
I was extremely satisfied with this meal.
After the two men finished loading the car for Lin Anshu, they were still saying that if there were any more jobs like this in the future, she should just call them over for help.
Before they left, the two took Xu Yi with them.
Meanwhile, Lin Anshu and Ji Chuan also got into the car and set off for Ancheng.
Upon entering Ancheng's territory, Lin Anshu still felt a slight pang of regret.
Two months ago, she resigned from her job and fled Ancheng.
Who would have thought that two months later, Lin Anshu would be back yet again!
