The others have just grown out and are still quite tender.
Bai Rong carried a small bamboo basket and picked some vegetables, beans and tomatoes.
And some peppers and eggplant.
She filled the basket to the brim.
This should be enough to eat.
Humming an unknown tune, Bai Rong seemed to be in a very good mood.
There was a well in the yard. She fetched some water in a wooden bucket and washed the picked vegetables.
I have some dried bacon at home, which I will stir-fry with chili peppers later.
Braise the eggplant and make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Add some minced garlic to the greens and stir-fry.
The staple food is rice, plus a cucumber soup.
Four dishes and one soup are almost enough.
Thinking of this, Bai Rong quickened her pace in washing the vegetables.
After a while of cleaning, Bai Rong carried the basket into the kitchen.
"Mom, I'm back!"
She had just picked up the kitchen knife and hadn't even started cutting the vegetables when Zhang Xinxin's voice came from outside the door.
"Did you get the hen?"
Putting down the kitchen knife, Bai Rong wiped her hands on her apron, then stuck her head out.
She didn't dare say she was buying it.
These days, private transactions are not allowed.
"Thump, thump, thump... I'm here to take on two people~"
Zhang Xinxin raised her right hand, holding a hen weighing more than three pounds by its wings.
I couldn't move and could only let her do whatever she wanted.
"Mom, what do you think this is?"
Proudly, she raised her other hand.
He was carrying a small basket in his hand.
Bai Rong looked over and saw a dozen white eggs lying inside.
Just now she was worried about not having eggs at home.
This time, you don’t have to worry.
"Well, I was just worried about not having eggs at home, and I forgot to tell you. Now I can use them!"
Bai Rong didn't expect that her daughter and she were so in tune with each other. She didn't even tell her before going out, and she just knew to exchange some eggs.
"Of course, you're my biological mother, so we must think alike!"
Zhang Xinxin boasted happily, being extremely shameless.
"Naughty ghost~"
Bai Rong reached out and took the eggs and hen from her hands.
"I'll go make a fire!"
It was already noon, the sun was at its highest point, and Zhang Xinxin knew it was time to make lunch.
"Um!"
"Let's cook the rice first!"
She had already washed all the vegetables to be stir-fried, and all that was left was to chop and stir-fry them.
Rice cooks slowly, so you have to hurry and cook it first.
"good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door.
"Auntie, let me help you cook!"
Ruan Mengmeng finally couldn't help it and decided to come over to help.
It's so boring to stay in the house.
Even though his younger brother was around, Zhang Sinian didn't say much.
He regained his serious expression.
His injuries have improved a lot now, and he doesn't need anyone to keep an eye on him all the time.
She came over to take a look.
This time, Bai Rong didn't chase her away, but nodded in agreement.
"Okay, be careful later and don't get hurt!"
She also knew that her cooking skills were very good, and she had heard Xinxin say it many times.
She had heard about it, but she had never seen it to know whether it was good or not.
She took off her apron and put it around her, then handed her the kitchen knife.
"Don't worry, auntie, I will pay attention!"
After saying that, she picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting the vegetables.
After a while, all the vegetables changed into various shapes in her hands.
By the time she finished cutting the vegetables, Zhang Xinxin had already started cooking rice.
They went to the stove and lit a fire. When the fire was almost done, Zhang Xinxin spoke.
"The pot is hot!"
"Okay, start frying right away!"
Ruan Mengmeng prepared the ginger, onion, garlic and other ingredients, then scooped a spoonful of lard.
Bai Rong, who was standing by, saw that the two children were cooperating well, so she quietly walked to the stove where rice was being cooked and watched the fire.
"Sizzle!" With a sound, a puff of white smoke rose from the bottom of the pot.
The whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of lard.
Immediately afterwards, there were a few crackling sounds.
Ruan Mengmeng swung the spatula with a clanging sound.
From the chimney, puffs of white smoke mixed with a pleasant smell came out and drifted away with the breeze.
After the three women worked for a while, four dishes and one soup were cooked perfectly.
“Hehe~”
The two best friends looked at each other and finally smiled at each other.
One was sweating profusely from the heat, and the other had some soot on his face, like a naughty little cat.
"Go wash up quickly, we'll have dinner soon!"
While greeting the guests, Bai Rong brought rice and dishes into the main room.
When the two of them finished washing and returned to the table, Zhang Sinian was already sitting quietly in his seat.
"Zilong, come sit next to me!"
Bai Rong waved to Ruan Zilong, who had just returned from washing his hands, and motioned him to sit over.
"Um!"
After spending so much time together, Ruan Zilong is no longer shy.
He walked over confidently and sat down next to Bai Rong.
"Everyone, eat more vegetables and rice. There's more in the pot!"
After saying that, she picked up a piece of bacon and put it into Ruan Zilong's bowl.
"Today's dishes are all cooked by Meng Meng with great effort. They all look delicious. Let's try them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Sinian looked over.
This girl's cooking skills are really good. After eating the delicious food she cooked a few times, he felt that the past twenty years seemed to have been wasted.
In the past, he always thought that food was enough to fill his stomach.
Who cares whether it tastes good or not?
