Chapter 161 Stealing Food



If she kneads and mixes dough every day, Su Yun'er's arms and legs will probably be exhausted in just a few days.

"Then what are you going to do?" Aunt Song asked, puzzled.

"I plan to make a lot at once, roll them out thinner, hang them in the yard to dry, and then store them for a longer time."

"You know what? That's a really good idea!"

After lunch, Aunt Song helped clean up and then went home. The children went to take their afternoon naps in the little treehouse and the little thatched hut.

Su Yun'er also went back to her room to rest.

Gai Xue silently jumped onto Su Yun'er's kang (heated brick bed), meowing and rubbing against her until Su Yun'er reached out and stroked his little head. Only then did Gai Xue close his eyes contentedly and slowly lie down beside Su Yun'er's pillow, making purring sounds.

Su Yun'er didn't sleep. Although it was her lunch break, she was still thinking about the shop and the cold noodles.

Now, with spinach, carrots, and pumpkin—three colors in total—plus white, there are four colors.

The pronunciation of the character "四" (four) is considered unlucky, so Su Yun'er wanted to add a color.

The first thing that came to mind was to use purple cabbage for dyeing.

With that thought in mind, Su Yun'er directly entered the space with her consciousness.

After experiencing it so many times, Su Yun'er always had a feeling that the food provided in the game space actually appeared according to Su Yun'er's needs.

It's a perfect example of someone handing you a pillow when you're feeling sleepy.

Sure enough, after entering the space, Su Yun'er saw a reminder in the crop atlas while browsing through it that completing the next points task would reward her with a new crop.

Although the new crop was mysteriously blurred out, judging from its shape and color, it should undoubtedly be purple cabbage.

Su Yun'er immediately perked up. The current points-based task wasn't a high-point task, so it would be much easier to complete.

Su Yun'er immediately took a stroll through the game and visited each of her friends' homes. After all that, she still had over 400 points left.

Based on the current points accumulation progress, it will take about one more operation to reach the required points.

Su Yun'er happily left the space and started making noodles.

The dough was very stiff, and Su Yun'er spent a lot of time rolling each dough ball into a thin sheet. Then she carefully cut it into strips with a knife, added some flour, shook it to separate the strips, and hung them on a rope in the yard to dry.

Back in the kitchen, Su Yun'er began to think about the toppings for the noodles.

Today's lunch of shredded vegetables and egg sauce is one option; you can also replace the egg sauce with sesame paste, which is the second option; if you replace it with meat sauce, that's the third option.

In addition, you can make two classic stir-fried dishes for noodles: spicy diced vegetables and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

These two kinds of sauces are simple to make, the ingredients are easy to handle, and they can be used to mix with noodles or rice. Customers can choose one sauce or mix them together.

This resulted in six choices.

It tastes good no matter how you eat it!

After making her decision, Su Yun'er picked out two pieces of meat from her spatial storage and began to stir-fry the meat sauce.

The sauce for stir-frying meat sauce can no longer be made with soybean paste; it must be replaced with sweet bean sauce, or even other sauces. For example, in the old Beijing-style fried sauce noodles from my previous life, there was a recipe that used sweet bean sauce and dry soybean paste to stir-fry together.

However, Su Yun'er didn't have many options at the moment, so she just used sweet bean sauce.

After heating the pan, add the diced meat and sauté until fragrant and the fat and aroma are released. Add star anise, cooking wine, etc. to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma. Then add sweet bean sauce and stir-fry.

After stir-frying for a few seconds, Su Yun'er suddenly added some soybean paste. Instantly, the aroma in the pan doubled, and under the impact of the aroma, Su Yun'er instinctively felt her stomach rumble again.

The aroma of the stir-fried sauce in the kitchen woke up the children who were sleeping inside.

The children, yawning and rubbing their eyes, crowded around the kitchen door.

"Sir, is it time for dinner?" Lin Xiaolan asked sleepily.

"All you can think about is food?" Su Yun'er couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You just woke up, it's time for class. Go wash your face and wake yourself up."

Su Yun'er is very gentle when she's not teaching, and the children especially love her husband when he's cooking.

When the boys returned after washing their faces, they found that breakfast was gone, except for the freshly stir-fried meat sauce, which was still steaming.

Lin Xiaolan was the first to notice. He winked at the boys behind him, and the four of them tiptoed into the kitchen.

"It smells so good! Lazy Brother, I'm hungry again." Xiao Wen stretched his neck, sniffed the aroma, and brought his face closer and closer to the pot, his face full of longing.

As a result, Lin Xiaolan slapped the back of his head: "If you smash your nose back in, it'll be disgusting."

"Lazy Brother, I don't have a nose." Xiao Wen rubbed the back of his head, looking aggrieved.

Lin Xiaolan didn't respond, but turned her head and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoshu, do you have any steamed buns at home? Cornbread will do too."

Xiao Shu nodded and quietly found four cold steamed buns.

Following Su Yun'er's example, Xiao Shu used a knife to cut the steamed buns and flatbreads in half, and then opened them to catch the meat sauce that Lin Xiaolan scooped up.

Xiaowen and Zixing stood to the side, licking their lips and watching with longing eyes.

They added meat sauce to each steamed bun, and the four boys squatted behind the stove, devouring them one by one.

"It smells so good! This sauce is so delicious!" Xiaowen exclaimed with satisfaction.

"Spray gently, you're spraying me with bread crumbs!" the little tree protested.

"Little Tree, your steamed bun has the most meat pieces in it, can you share two more with me?" Zixing poked Little Tree.

Lin Xiaolan stopped them, saying, "Xiaoshu won't give it to us. This steamed bun, this meat, this sauce, and this oil all belong to Xiaoshu's family. The master provided us with lunch at noon. What we're doing now is stealing food, don't you understand? Of course, we should give the master more meat."

On the other side of the stove, Su Yun'er heard Lin Xiaolan's words and couldn't help but smile.

These little rascals actually came to steal food while I was washing my face and combing my hair!

However, upon hearing Lin Xiaolan's words, Su Yun'er's already sparse anger vanished instantly.

It was just a simple fried sauce sandwich, yet it made them smell so good; I felt a pang of reluctance to part with it.

But as reluctant as I am, it's never right to sneak food.

Outside the kitchen door, the two girls searched everywhere but finally found Su Yun'er standing to the left of the stove, while several boys squatted to the right, happily eating steamed buns.

Meanwhile, Su Yun'er had already raised the pointer high!
