Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future, so we can take our time and work on it slowly. We'll eventually find a solution.
After Xu Han finished making the cookies, the outer cookie dough hardened, so she put the cookies in the oven to bake first.
"Don't set the temperature too high, or it will burn easily."
"Okay, I understand."
Then Xu Han went back into the kitchen to continue printing cartoon-patterned cookies.
"It smells so good! Is it cooked?" The Taoist priest carried Mu'er from the backyard, with Grandpa Zhao following closely behind.
"It should be ready soon. Let's open it and take a look, so it doesn't burn later."
When Lu Chuan heard Xu Han say that, he turned on the oven. Xu Han craned her neck to look at it and saw that the color was not good and was still a bit light.
Lu Chuan put it back in and raised the temperature a bit.
A little while later, when the aroma became stronger, Xu Han asked Lu Chuan to take out the cookies.
"It looks like it's been baked quite well. Come on, smell it and see if it smells good." Xu Han held up the baking tray for Lu Chuan to smell.
Mu'er, who couldn't wait any longer, stretched out her arms, wanting Xu Han to hug her.
"Son, you can't eat them yet. The freshly baked cookies aren't crispy and they're still very hot. Wait a little while, and you can eat them after they cool down."
After saying that, Xu Han put the unbaked cookies back in. After the cookies were baked, she could bake cartoon cookies.
After a while, Xu Han broke off a small cookie and felt that it had cooled down and was still crunchy.
He shouted to everyone, "The cookies are ready to eat! Come and try them!"
Upon hearing her mother's words, Mu'er was the first to run to Xu Han. Xu Han handed him two small cookies, and he obediently stood aside to enjoy his treat.
"Hahaha, we've got another little foodie in our family," Lu Chuan said with a laugh.
"That's what they call 'birds of a feather flock together,' and there's not a single member of the family who doesn't like this food," Grandpa Zhao chimed in.
The Taoist priest took a cookie, ate it, chewed it, and said, "Delicious, delicious, so crispy."
"Yes, it's not too sweet, so we can eat it. It's delicious, this snack is great," Grandpa Zhao said.
Lu Chuan tried two but stopped eating, because he has never liked snacks.
"As long as it tastes good, that's all that matters. Making these breads, cookies, and other snacks doesn't take much effort. I can make them for you anytime you want to eat them," Xu Han said happily.
Moreover, now that Mu'er has grown up, there's definitely no shortage of snacks and treats at home. We can make some whenever we have time.
You can make a larger batch and store it in your space so you can eat it whenever you want. It's also a good teething snack for Mu'er.
Now that we have a child at home, even though it's a year of disaster, our family's conditions aren't bad, so we can still make these small snacks.
"That's great, as you get older, you just want to eat some sweets," Grandpa Zhao said.
"You can eat sweets, but you must control the amount. You can't eat too much," Xu Han nagged.
"Okay, okay, I promise I won't eat too much."
Mu'er had finished eating the cookie in her hand and was now reaching out her little hand to ask Xu Han for something to eat.
"Haha, it seems Mu'er likes to eat this too."
"Mu'er can only have one today. Mommy made some other cookies. I'll bake them for you later, okay? If you eat too many, your tummy will feel uncomfortable."
Mu'er didn't cry or fuss when her mother handed her a cookie; she obediently nodded.
Before I knew it, it was lunchtime again.
I haven't had much to do these past few days, so whenever I have free time, I just think about what to eat.
"What are we having for dinner today?" the Taoist priest asked Xu Han.
"What would you like to eat? Let me see if I have enough ingredients and can make it."
"It's been so long since I've had chicken and matsutake oil noodles. How about a delicious matsutake chicken soup as well?"
"Sure, if you want chicken soup, we need to start making it now, otherwise the chicken meat will be too tough to chew."
"Okay, bring out the chicken, I'll chop it up."
Then everyone got busy again, some kneading dough, some baking cookies, and some making chicken soup.
In no time, the courtyard was bustling with activity again.
After the group finished lunch and came out of the room, they found that the sun, which had been hanging high in the sky, was gone.
"Is it going to rain again? It hasn't been sunny for many days, and the snow outside hasn't even melted yet," Grandpa Zhao said worriedly.
"Judging from the weather, it looks like it's going to rain. If it doesn't rain tonight, it will rain tomorrow," the Taoist priest said.
"Let's pack up the things outside first, so they don't get wet when it rains later," Lu Chuan said, and then began to pack up.
Seeing this, everyone joined in the tidying up, putting what could be put inside the house inside, and covering up everything that couldn't be put inside.
Before it rains, we quickly brought out the corn and ground some flour to keep in reserve, just in case we run out of flour if the rain lasts too long.
The most important thing is to make a lot of dark flour, because the six dogs in the house have such a big appetite.
The rain didn't stop until evening.
In the evening, everyone went about their business as usual. Although some were worried that the rain might be heavy, everyone knew that worrying was useless because there was nothing they could do about it.
It wasn't until late at night that Xu Han vaguely heard the sound of wind and rain outside. When she looked up, she saw Lu Chuan covering Mu'er with a blanket.
I mumbled in my sleep, "Is it raining?"
"Yes, it just rained." After hearing Lu Chuan's accurate answer, Xu Han turned over and continued sleeping.
When she woke up the next day, the weather was already gloomy. Xu Han listened to the pattering rain outside and turned over to calm herself down.
What should I do if I don't want to get out of bed on a rainy day, especially with the current temperature? It will be even colder if it rains in February, making me even less inclined to get out of bed.
However, Xu Han struggled in bed for a while before getting up. After all, her son was already up, and as a mother, she couldn't stay in bed forever.
"Mommy~ hug me." As soon as Mu'er saw Xu Han come out, she stretched out her little arms for Xu Han to hug her.
"You're finally up. Mu'er has been wanting to wake you up, but Lu Chuan has been stopping her."
"You can still sleep in even after having a child. It's a good thing you don't have in-laws, otherwise, what in-laws would put up with you?" the Taoist priest complained.
Xu Han glanced at Lu Chuan, only to see the man smiling at her. "As long as Lu Chuan can tolerate me, that's fine."
"Being able to sleep is a blessing. Being able to sleep means you don't have to worry about anything, and you don't have to get up early to prepare breakfast for the whole family. Isn't that better?" Grandpa Zhao said, speaking up for Xu Han.
“There’s nothing to do when she gets up in the morning, and Xiaohan doesn’t sleep in every day,” Lu Chuan defended her.
"Fine, then you can all protect her." The Taoist priest had no intention of paying any attention to the three of them.
