Upon hearing this, Huo Yanqing's eyes lit up: "Great!"
Seeing that he suddenly became so happy, Lin Qixia smiled.
She enjoys researching modern cuisine whenever she has free time, and she has long noticed that he is always happy whenever she makes something and gives some to him.
Therefore, Lin Qixia grasped this point.
It's also a good way to distract Huo Yanqing when he's emotionally unstable.
Lin Qixia was pleased that she had successfully dealt with this difficult guy.
It was already noon when they got home.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was harmonious at this moment, with only the sounds of children chatting and laughing.
In the shade under the tree, Lin Yi and Tian Ye'er were squatting there playing hide-and-seek, a game she had taught them a few days ago.
"Sister Xia'er!"
"aunt!"
The two little ones saw Lin Qixia and called out in unison, abandoning their play and running towards her.
Lin Qixia then produced two pieces of candy from her hand as if by magic: "Look what this is?"
"Malt candy!" Lin Yi and Tian Ye'er answered excitedly in unison.
He reached for the candy in Lin Qixia's hand.
Lin Qixia raised her hand at the crucial moment: "Hey! I haven't even said I'd give you guys any!"
"oh……"
Lin Yi and Tian Ye'er instantly looked down in disappointment.
However, the next second Lin Qixia said, "Unless... you help me get some firewood and bring it to the kitchen!"
She was exhausted from running around all morning, so deciding to cook for herself was already quite an achievement.
As for some minor tasks, we can only ask these two little ones to do them.
However, upon hearing this, Lin Yi and Tian Ye'er were pleasantly surprised and quickly replied, "Okay!"
"Let's go right now!"
After hearing Lin Qixia's words, the two of them quickly turned around and left to gather firewood, running as fast as they could.
Seeing this, Lin Qixia was amused: "As expected, the temptation of candy is still the greatest."
Children won't disobey if you give them a little something.
Huo Yanqing, who was hiding not far away and witnessed this scene, frowned slightly.
It seems... she used the same trick on herself just now.
The boy pursed his lips, feeling a mix of emotions, unsure whether he was angry or happy.
She was angry that she used the same tactics she uses on children on herself.
I'm glad she's willing to put in the effort for me.
Besides, she sent the child to fetch firewood so that she could make him... "noodles with soybean paste"?
Hmm! She still cares about herself after all!
Lin Qixia had already gone to the kitchen to prepare noodles with soybean paste, completely unaware of the complex and subtle thoughts of the young man outside.
"System, I want to buy a bag of flour," she said to the system.
This time she didn't want to use dried noodles, because even if dried noodles are very close to handmade noodles, they still don't taste as good as freshly made handmade noodles.
System message: [One bag of flour, 20 gold coins. Transaction successful!]
[790 gold coins remaining.]
Lin Qixia took out the flour, poured it into the flour jar at home, and scooped out a lot more to knead in a basin.
By the time Lin Yi and Tian Ye'er brought the firewood, Lin Qixia's dough had already been kneaded.
"Put the firewood there," Lin Qixia instructed them.
Lin Yi replied "Okay," then glanced at Lin Qixia, who was busy kneading dough, and asked, "Auntie, are you making something delicious?"
As she spoke, she swallowed hard, feeling a little hungry.
After all, Lin Qixia had been so busy lately that she rarely cooked anything delicious for them.
My mother usually cooks for me. Although her cooking is also very delicious, I'm used to it and they all taste the same.
When I eat my aunt's cooking occasionally, it tastes especially fresh and delicious.
Lin Qixia replied while kneading the dough, "Yes, I'm making you guys Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) today~"
"Zhajiangmian? What's that?" Lin Yi asked, blinking her big eyes.
Tian Ye'er, who was standing next to her, was also very curious.
Lin Qixia smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, you'll find out soon enough."
After kneading the dough, Lin Qixia rolled it out with a rolling pin.
After drying the noodles into thin sheets, cut them with a knife, and the noodles needed for Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) are ready.
As for the sauce, since she had some money at home, she simply used smoked meat, diced it, fried it in oil, and then added the prepared sauce.
She only bought yellow soybean paste and fermented soybean paste from the system, but not sweet bean sauce, so she simply added soy sauce and sugar to it.
I tried it and it tasted pretty good.
Add the prepared sauce to the fried wild boar meat cubes and continue to stir-fry until almost done. Then, add water to cook the noodles.
After the noodles were cooked, she took a few bites, mixed them with sauce, and tasted them.
"Hmm! Not bad." The salty and savory flavor, combined with the chewy noodles, is delicious.
Lin Qixia sighed, her only regret being the lack of vegetables like cucumbers and carrots.
Otherwise, it would taste even better if mixed into noodles for a refreshing and crisp flavor.
Lin Qixia took out several bowls and served them a portion each, then called out to Lin Yi and Tian Ye'er, who were playing outside, "Come and eat, the noodles are ready."
"Coming!" Lin Yi and Tian Ye'er responded in unison and rushed over.
The two of them, each carrying a bowl of noodles, sat down at the table, their eyes shining: "It smells so good! It looks delicious."
"Then let's try it and see how it tastes," Lin Qixia said to them.
They nodded quickly, and the two children moved in perfect unison, each picking up a mouthful of noodles with their chopsticks and slurping it up, then exclaiming with satisfaction, "Delicious, delicious!"
"The taste of this noodle... is unlike anything I've ever had before, it's absolutely amazing."
Huo Yanqing, who was not far away, couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he watched the two children eat noodles.
