Lao Buyu's shout not only made Shen Cui stop, but also made Mu Erpang stand up from the desk.
Because she thought the Q-version characters were very cute, the academy map was always open on the translucent screen in front of Shen Cui.
It was visibly obvious that Lao Buyu and Mu Erpang's moods had dropped significantly.
After all, Mu Erpang is his biological son, so it’s better for him. His mood value dropped from close to 100 to 70.
The Q version of Lao Buyu is really powerful, his mood value is directly reduced by half.
Only Wei Xi, who was not in the situation, was still in a good mood. Seeing Lao Buyu and Mu Erpang squeezed to the window, he stood up as well.
The three of them stared at Shen Cui. Shen Cui's face was hot, but she still raised her chin, "What's the matter? Can't I go into my own kitchen for a while?"
"Yes, it's done." Lao Buyu also realized that his reaction was too excited. He coughed lightly and asked, "I'm just curious. Yes, curious, so I asked."
Actually, there is no need to ask. What else can you do in the kitchen besides cooking?
Shen Cui didn't pay any more attention and walked in quickly.
Although the kitchen in the old house had not been used for several days, Zhou was diligent. She thought that Lao Buyu and Wei Xi might get hungry in the middle of the night and need to prepare some simple meals since they lived here.
So she didn't move away the things she used when she lived here. She would come to clean it from time to time. When she went to the city to replenish supplies for her family, she also put some of them here.
There is nothing missing.
After Shen Cui finished her inspection, she opened the system mall, studied the recipes, and prepared to buy ingredients.
[Didn’t the host just swear that he would never spend any shopping points today, and that the less extra rewards he gets, the less he will get? 】
[Just now was just now, now is now.] 】
Now Lao Buyu and Mu Erpang's moods have dropped. They must have guessed what she is going to do, and they probably don't have the mood to read.
Moreover, Shen Cui didn’t want to affect their mood, so she firmly said that she would not use the system’s output.
Since it has already affected us, we should minimize the losses and at least get the extra reward for the mission, right?
After studying the system's elementary recipes, Shen Cui decided to make dumplings today.
After all, stinky tofu has left a psychological trauma on them, so naturally they have to try something different.
Dumplings require four ingredients: flour, seasoned sauerkraut, pork and water. These ingredients were all kept in the old kitchen by Zhou, so she didn't have to think of a lie about where these ingredients came from.
Moreover, Shuiyun Village is located in the north and its customs are similar to those of the north. Eating dumplings during festivals or happy events is very appropriate.
4 ingredients, totaling 40 points.
Shen Cui has 790 shopping points in her account, and 40 shopping points are really nothing.
But the system is cunning. With this portion of ingredients, he can only make five dumplings at most, which is far from enough for everyone to have a small bowl.
That means making at least two servings, ten dumplings, and then sharing them among everyone, which can barely be considered a meal.
After spending 80 shopping points at once, Shen Cui started her cooking journey today.
Because the power of the [Ultimate Failure] in front was so terrifying, even though she knew it would most likely fail this time, Shen Cui still did not dare to take it lightly and took it extremely seriously.
Chen Cui first added water to the flour to make dough, and then let the dough rest for 25 minutes.
During these two quarters of an hour, she took out the seasoned sauerkraut and chopped it, squeezed out the excess juice, then chopped the pork into small pieces and stirred it in one direction to make the minced meat.
The next step is to knead the dough, cut it into small pieces, roll it out, wrap it with meat filling, and pinch out small lace edges.
Just as Chen Cui thought, after Lao Buyu found out that she had entered the kitchen, he asked the two children to go back to their desks to continue reading and practicing calligraphy.
But even he, as a teacher, was absent-minded, let alone his two students.
After two quarters of an hour, Lao Buyu was still feeling anxious, so he simply said, "It's almost time for lunch, and there's no rush to study now. Let's end the get out of class now. We can continue studying after lunch."
Mu Erpang and Wei Xi naturally put him first.
Later, Lao Buyu and Mu Erpang went to the kitchen at the same time. Wei Xi didn't understand why, but followed them.
As soon as the three of them came over, Shen Cui naturally noticed it, but she didn't say anything and continued with her work.
In just half a quarter of an hour, ten round dumplings were formed in her hands and lay one by one on the floured chopping board.
Wei Xi was still puzzled at this moment, and whispered: "I know that Madam is a good cook, but Master and Senior Brother are so hungry that they are anxious to come and wait?"
Mu Erpang didn't want to say anything bad about his own mother, so he moved his lips and then closed them again.
Lao Buyu wanted to talk to him, but Chen Cui glared at him, so he shut up and just glared at Wei Xi.
He and Mu Erpang will definitely not be able to escape, but Wei Xi is different. Wei Xi has spent money to study, eat and live, so he can definitely give suggestions!
Wei Xi really didn’t understand what he meant, and the dumplings made by Chen Cui were there, each one was plump and cute. Who could think of those things just by looking at those dumplings?
He frowned and thought for a long while, then said softly, "Is it because you saw that Madam made few dumplings and you are worried that there won't be enough to eat? It's okay, I have a small appetite, so it doesn't matter if I eat less or not at all. You are welcome, you can have my share."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Buyu’s face turned pale.
In the kitchen, Shen Cui had already put all the dumplings in the pot and continued, "Don't worry, even though there are few dumplings, there are enough for you all to share. Everyone will have a share, and no one will be left out."
For some reason, Lao Buyu couldn't help but think of a storybook he had read when he was young. The Shura evil ghost was holding a bloody machete, laughing at the powerless people, and saying "No one can escape!"
After putting the pot down, Shen Cui didn't care anymore, took off her apron and said, "My mother is quick, the rice over there should be almost done. Anyway, you guys are not reading anymore, help me watch the fire."
After saying that, she left. Lao Buyu and Mu Erpang took a step back at the same time, neither of them wanting to go into the kitchen.
Finally Wei Xi said he would come, and he went into the kitchen to watch the fire.
Just as Chen Cui thought, Zheng and others had already cooked a table of delicious dishes at the new house.
Chen had almost run dry of words, but still hadn't convinced Zheng to agree.
Seeing Shen Cui coming over, before Chen could get close to her, Zheng said, "Cuihua, go call the teacher and the two children over, and the old lady, go get the dishes and chopsticks out."
With just one sentence, he sent away the two people he was about to meet.
While Chen Cui was going back and forth, the dumplings in the kitchen of the old house were boiling in the hot water. Although Lao Buyu was a little scared, he still instructed Wei Xi to add cold water into the pot twice.
When Shen Cui finally came back and revealed the secret, the system rating came out immediately——
Unsurprisingly, this time it was another [failed item that produces random benefits after consumption].
So Shen Cui looked into the pot again, and wow, the plump white dumplings she had made were nowhere to be seen, and had simply turned into a pot of soup.
White dumpling wrappers, brown-green chopped sauerkraut, and whitish minced pork merged into some unknown, vomit-like soup.
After the previous system gave stinky tofu a rating, it magnified its stinky characteristics, making it extremely smelly.
This time the failed product only looks disgusting, but it smells just averagely bad!
Moreover, Shen Cui thought that if the system released daily cooking in the future, she would only need to buy ingredients for one set of dumplings, as she would get a pot of soup in the end anyway.
Not to mention the current scale of academies, even if there were ten or eight more, we could guarantee one bowl per person!
So Shen Cui praised sincerely: "Not bad."
Mu Erpang wanted to say something but stopped himself, Lao Buyu's eyes twitched, and only Wei Xi blamed himself, "Madam made very good dumplings just now. I must have not controlled the fire well and ruined them."
He really blamed himself, and his mood dropped a little.
"This is none of your business." Shen Cui smiled and shook her head at him, then looked at Lao Buyu and Mu Erpang and said, "Besides, you will share it and eat it. It's not considered a waste if the food goes into your stomach, right?"
Lao Buyu wanted to escape, but after hearing this, he had to stop.
Even he couldn't bear to let Wei Xi blame himself for the fact that Wei Xi admired and respected him so much.
"Yeah, yeah, Xiao Xi, don't think too much. It's a dry day today, so it would be nice to have some soup to moisten your throat, haha." Lao Buyu laughed dryly and agreed.
Mu Erpang had no intention of hiding, and compared with the stinky tofu he had before, the dumpling soup today was nothing, so he sincerely said, "Mom is right, it's not a waste if I eat it!"
Later, Shen Cui asked them whether they wanted to eat now or later.
Lao Buyu said, "Wait a while. The old lady has prepared a lot of food. We'll drink the soup at the end."
He felt that if he drank this bowl of soup first, he would have no appetite for anything else.
Seeing that there was only half of the task deadline left and there was no rush, Shen Cui put a pot of dumpling soup into a casserole and took it home.
Over there, Zheng and her family put two square tables together and brought the hot dishes and bowls and chopsticks to the table.
After Lao Buyu and Wei Xi came over, she asked them to sit down first. Finally, Zheng spoke and everyone found their own seats and sat down.
Shen Cui put the casserole on the corner of the table, glanced at it, and then went to the kitchen to get another large plate that was used to serve whole fish during the Chinese New Year.
After taking them, Shen Cui used chopsticks to pick up some of the various dishes that no one else had touched, and placed them on the plate at a distance.
The Shen family was used to her habit of eating and taking more, and they thought she was worried that Mu Erpang would not have enough to eat, so she prepared the food for Mu Erpang. However, after Shen Cui finished, she put the plate in front of Wei Xi.
"Farmers don't have the habit of using serving chopsticks, and there aren't enough chopsticks for everyone at home. See if there's anything else you want to eat. I'll get you some more before the meal starts."
Before, Wei Xi always ate with Lao Buyu. He regarded Lao Buyu as his spiritual idol and naturally would not dislike him. But with so many strangers present, Shen Cui thought he would definitely not be used to it.
Besides, his physical condition is indeed not good, so the more attention he can pay, the better.
Wei Xi felt warm in his heart, and said quickly: "Don't worry, I won't be in the way. I can do anything."
"Oh, our Cuihua is still the one who knows how to love the younger generation." Chen was just worried about not being able to find a reason to talk to Shen Cui, so she immediately took the opportunity to say, "Even if you don't just love the young man from the Wei family, you should also love your nephew."
As he was talking, Chen's naughty son had already opened the lid of the clay pot in the corner of the dining table...
