Gu Yanzhang took three meat buns and gave one to his parents, one to each of his two sons, Dazhu and Erzhu. He broke the last meat bun into five pieces and gave them to Sanzhu, Sizhu, Da Ya and Er Ya before he ate a small bite.
Chen Xuanxuan was surprised to see that there were still two meat buns left in the bowl, "Yanzhang, there are still two meat buns left!"
"Would you like to have another one?"
Gu Yanzhang shook his head, "Wife, you haven't eaten yet!"
Chen Xuanxuan felt relieved that he was thinking about her. However, she still shook her head and said, "I made these meat buns especially for you. I've actually eaten them a long time ago."
"However, if you can't bear to eat these two meat buns, then save them for tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, I'll make all the remaining buns into fried buns. The bun skin is fried to a golden color, crispy and delicious!"
When Gu Yanzhang heard this, his two round eyes immediately emitted a charming light.
During this period of time, he enjoyed a lot of delicious food. He has completely surrendered to Chen Xuanxuan's superb cooking skills.
Gu Yanzhang really didn't expect that his wife's cooking would be so delicious.
Thinking of his parents, who were always worried that she would climb over their heads, and worried that she would cheat and steal food from their house and bring it back to her parents' home, so they were always on guard against her when cooking... Gu Yanzhang felt particularly guilty.
He had long realized that his family was a typical example of judging others by one's own standards.
With his wife's cooking skills, she must have eaten a lot and practiced countless times when she was at her parents' home.
Why did his parents think of her like that?
Just when Gu Yanzhang was distracted, Chen Xuanxuan repeatedly urged them to boil water and take a bath. Wash their faces, feet, and brush their teeth. Only after
Gu Yanzhang had taken care of his personal hygiene did Chen Xuanxuan let him go to bed.
Gu Yanzhang was also tired after several days, and fell asleep as soon as he got into bed. He even snored.
Hearing his snoring, Chen Xuanxuan actually wanted to laugh. Because the sound he made was really weird.
After Chen Xuanxuan held back her laughter for a while, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When she got up early in the morning, Chen Xuanxuan opened her eyes. She found that Gu Yanzhang was still sleeping, so she got out of bed quietly.
After frying all the more than 20 buns left over from yesterday, Chen Xuanxuan also cooked a pot of soy milk.
After preparing a small dish of fried tofu skin, Chen Xuanxuan called the whole family to get up and come over to eat.
Chen Xuanxuan's family of ten sat around a large round table.
Except for the little ones who only had one bun and half a bowl of soy milk, everyone else had plenty of food.
After Gu Yanzhang ate three big buns, he drank a bowl of soy milk and took two bites of fried tofu skin. Feeling 70% full, Gu Yanzhang said, "Wife, since we want to sell buns, we'd better do it sooner rather than later. We should start now."
"That...where are the buns you asked us to sell? You can take them out now. We plan to go out today."
Chen Xuanxuan smiled and said, "We haven't had time to make the buns yet!"
"Besides, the buns we want to sell must be hot. That's how they taste. People will be willing to buy them."
"We have to grind the sorghum flour for making dumplings into noodles. And the stuffing has to be processed. As for the dumplings, we have to make hundreds of them. I can't make them all by myself. So, starting today, you have to learn how to make dumplings from me..."
Hearing that they had to learn how to make dumplings, Gu Dazhu and Erzhu, who were already sensible, were very happy.
It was a great thing to learn a skill and have a way to support the family.
Therefore, Gu Dazhu and Erzhu all smiled and patted their chests and said, "Mom, I'll go grind the sorghum flour now!"
"Mom, I'll help you chop the stuffing!"
"Mom, me too. I want to learn how to make buns, too!"
Chen Xuanxuan was very happy to see that these children at home were very enthusiastic about this and wanted to learn the skills immediately.
"Okay, okay, you are all my good children!"
"Since you are all willing to learn from me, I will definitely do my best to teach you these skills."
"Come on, you can help me grind these tens of kilograms of sorghum flour..."
After assigning the tasks, Chen Xuanxuan said to Gu Yanzhang and his parents in a serious face, "The livelihood that can make money in this world is never easy."
"I've always heard people say that there are three great hardships in life: rowing a boat, forging iron, and grinding tofu. In fact, making and selling buns is also very hard. Whether our family can make more money depends on whether we can endure the hardship..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanxuan's father-in-law, Gu Yu'an, said, "Daughter-in-law, the lives of ordinary people like us are all hard."
"We are farmers who have been digging for food in the fields for generations. We have been soaked in bitter water since we were born. When I was four years old, I had just begun to understand things and had to follow my mother to weed in the fields and pick wheat ears during the busy farming season. We also had to cut pig grass to feed pigs. Raising chickens and ducks was a piece of cake. When I was seven or eight years old and had grown stronger, I followed my brothers to farm in the fields. We had to do everything ourselves. We helped with laundry and cooking, fetching water and applying fertilizer. Everyone was treated like ten people."
"In my opinion, it's really not easy to live. It's even harder to make some money. Now that you are passing on the skill of making buns to our grandchildren, I am so grateful."
"Daughter-in-law, our family has never been afraid of hardship or fatigue. We are just afraid that we can't survive..."
Seeing Gu Yu'an's gray hair, wrinkled face, and dense wrinkles, Chen Xuanxuan sighed silently in her heart.
It is really not easy for people in this era.
Chen Xuanxuan felt that if she had traveled through time and space without the golden finger of the Qiongheihei app, she might not be able to turn over. Not only can she not fill her stomach, but she can't live in such a new house.
After a few casual sighs, Chen Xuanxuan said seriously, "Okay. Since our family has decided to learn the craft of making buns, then you should listen to my arrangements."
"By the way, I actually plan to make some baked cakes. You guys should join me."
After Chen Xuanxuan's instructions, Gu Yanzhang and the others took action.
Gu Yanzhang is very strong.
He was very serious about his work.
Soon, he used the small stone mill at home to grind out two kilograms of sorghum flour.
In order to let them become independent as soon as possible and to save her trouble, Chen Xuanxuan took the two kilograms of flour and patiently taught them how to make buns, pinch beautiful flower folds, and bake cakes.
The whole family followed Chen Xuanxuan and studied at home for five consecutive days. After making nearly three hundred buns that were only one-third the size of a palm, some of them were finally able to become masters.
Seeing the beautiful buns in Gu Yanzhang's hand, Chen Xuanxuan gave her a thumbs up without hesitation.
"Boss, you are really smart!"
"The buns you make are almost as good as mine."
