Chapter 12 Hard to Swallow
Xu Qingmeng came to the kitchen, cut some lean meat, cut it into shreds, added egg white and mixed it evenly, then took out a handful of Chinese cabbage and used the pork bone soup to make a simple bowl of shredded pork noodles for Gu Yunyi.
Then she put Gu Yunyi's medicine on the stove, and He had already brought the meal into the main room.
Gu Yunyi was able to get out of bed, so Xu Qingmeng didn't have to bring the noodles to him separately. After calling out, Gu Yunyi came in from the yard.
"Sister-in-law, what are you having for lunch today?"
Yun Sheng ran over quickly and asked.
"Today's lunch is cabbage and pancakes."
"ah········"
"ah········"
Yun Sheng and Yun Mo howled at the same time.
Then Yun Sheng said with a look of resentment, “Sister-in-law, don’t you like us anymore? That’s why you didn’t cook. The cabbage that mother fried is so disgusting… Alas…”
"Sister-in-law, what are you holding in your hand? Isn't this noodles? It smells so good." Yun Mo leaned forward and smelled it.
"Sister-in-law, can I eat this?" Yun Sheng asked expectantly.
When Mrs. He came in, she slapped her hard and scolded her, "You silly girl, you are picky when there is food to eat. If you don't eat, you will starve."
Yun Sheng muttered, "It's obviously not delicious, but I'm not allowed to say it."
Yun Mo was very considerate. At this moment, his sister had been scolded and sat obediently on the stool, but her eyes were still fixed on the bowl of noodles.
Yun Sheng also stared at the bowl of noodles without blinking.
"That's your eldest brother's. Sit down and eat this." He gave Yun Sheng and Yun Mo a pancake each and put some cabbage in their small bowls. "Eat it up. You must finish it all."
Gu Yunyi walked in slowly and saw the two little guys looking at him with resentment.
Gu Yunyi was confused.
Yun Sheng and Yun Mo were no longer looking at him, but were staring at the bowl of noodles on the table.
When Gu Yunyi saw the food on the table, he immediately understood what was going on, but he didn't show it on his face. He walked towards the table calmly and sat down slowly.
He changed her stepmother face and asked, "How do you feel today? Are you dizzy?"
"Much better. I was in the yard for half a day today and didn't feel dizzy."
"That's good, that's good. Come and eat quickly. This is the noodles your wife made specially for you." He said quickly.
Yun Sheng groaned, "It's okay that my mother is partial to me, but my sister-in-law is also partial to me. Why is it that only my eldest brother gets to eat noodles?"
He rolled her eyes. "Your elder brother is a patient, and he also has to take the exam. How can you compare with him?"
"Hmph, I'm so smart, I'm sure I'll be able to become the top female scholar in the future." Yun Sheng said angrily.
"You, please eat quickly, you talk too much." He was so angry that she laughed.
Xu Qingmeng looked at Yun Sheng chatting angrily and couldn't help but chuckle. This sister-in-law was quite lively.
Gu Yunyi looked at the noodles in front of him, picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and found the noodles chewy and very delicious.
The two little guys watched helplessly as Gu Yunyi brought the fragrant shredded pork noodles that night to his mouth. He ate very slowly, savoring every bite and moaning with satisfaction from time to time, which made the two little guys next to them even more salivating.
"Hurry up and eat, and don't stare at your elder brother. If you don't finish your meal, you won't have any share of the delicious food your sister-in-law will cook in the evening." He said.
Yun Sheng looked pale again, and Yun Mo saw the sign and told him to eat the pancake quickly to avoid being affected.
"Speaking of which, I don't know what the results of this year's county exam will be. Yun Yi..."
Xu Qingmeng recalled the book. In this county examination, Gu Yunyi directly won the first place. However, Xu Qingmeng could not just say that, otherwise it would be impossible to explain.
She casually added, "My husband will definitely be admitted to the imperial examination one day." After saying that, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She raised her head and saw He and Gu Yunyi looking at her at the same time.
He didn't think anything of it and just thought it was her expectation. Gu Yunyi didn't think so and looked at her with a little inquiry.
Xu Qingmeng pretended not to see Gu Yunyi's eyes and continued, "When I went shopping today, I heard from others that this year's list has not been released yet. I think with my husband's talent, a mere child exam will definitely be no problem."
He was relieved when she heard that the list had not been announced yet, but she became serious again when she heard the next sentence.
"You must never say this again, lest someone with ulterior motives hear it."
"My daughter-in-law will follow my mother's teachings." Xu Qingmeng said quickly.
"Mom, don't worry. There's still some time before the results are announced. Your son will keep an eye on it. You and...just worry about the food shop."
Gu Yunyi spoke in time and changed the subject.
Xu Qingmeng's gaze fell on Gu Yunyi, and he happened to look over. The two looked at each other, and Xu Qingmeng quickly looked away and hurriedly lowered her head to eat.
Xu Qingmeng had just taken a bite of the food when his face turned stiff.
It seems that I have to do the cooking myself from now on and never be lazy.
The cabbage soup was bland, as if there was only salt in it. The corn tortilla looked good to an outsider. Xu Qingmeng took a bite and subconsciously wanted to spit it out, but swallowed it back immediately.
Xu Qingmeng sighed inwardly. Not only was the pancake not cooked, but it was also raw in the middle. No wonder the two little guys looked so resentful. Then he looked up at the two children as if they had eaten poison.
He took a bite, then frowned and said, "Why is it half-cooked?" Then he took another bite of the pancake, his face even uglier, "Who pasted this pancake?"
Yun Mo and Yun Sheng put down the cakes in their hands at the same time and said in unison, "It was you who pasted it, mother."
After saying this, he closed his mouth tightly, fearing that He would make them finish the hard-to-swallow biscuit.
He was choked and glared at the two children, "This cake is just a little short, it's not inedible, you are not allowed to leave any."
The two children had bitter faces and could only pick up the bread and start eating it again.
Xu Qingmeng glanced at Gu Yunyi and saw that he was eating the noodles in the bowl with an uncertain expression, as if he didn't hear the noise here.
The two little guys, Yun Sheng and Yun Mo, suffered terribly during the meal.
Xu Qingmeng looked at the boss eating the noodles she made leisurely, and couldn't help but give Gu Yunyi a thumbs up in her heart.
Xu Qingmeng ate some biscuits and went to work. Among so many people, only Gu Yunyi ate his fill.
After a while, Xu Qingmeng started preparing the braised food.
Xu Qingmeng first blanched the meat and washed it, then began to boil the spices and sugar color, and finally put the meat into a large pot and simmered it.
"Mom, this fire must be kept alive. It cannot be extinguished."
"Okay, I understand."
"Mom, do we have plaster and filter cloth at home?"
"Your father-in-law used it before when he was alive. I'll find it for you later."
