Yi Xiaoqiu had no idea that the snacks she took away would attract a scramble from several male educated youth.
She is busy making lunch now!
The whole morning passed like a battle. She didn't know if it was because the temperature was too low and her body needed more calories, but just after eleven o'clock, her stomach started to rumble.
After being fed by the housekeeper for most of this period, Yi Xiaoqiu's hands-on ability has become increasingly poor.
She thought it was a good idea. Guo Xiaochuan and his sister were too thin, so she wanted to make some delicious and nutritious food to nourish them.
When it came time to cook, Yi Xiaoqiu was in a panic, fortunately Xiaochuan was there to help.
There is only one stove and one iron pot.
Yi Xiaoqiu first cooked the sweet potato rice in a clay pot, and then put it on the stove to simmer after it was cooked.
Although sweet potatoes are not coarse grains, Yi Xiaoqiu still likes to cook rice with sweet potatoes. The rice cooked in this way has a little sweetness and tastes better.
After cooking the rice, I used an iron pan to make braised pork, stir-fried bacon slices with cabbage stalks, and an egg and mushroom soup.
Her farm does have a lot of vegetables that are not in season, but it is not convenient to take them out.
You can never go wrong eating cabbage in this season.
Guo Xiaochuan was a little bit incredulous when he saw Yi Xiaoqiu cooking such delicious dishes.
Every dish had meat, and there was even a plate of braised pork. This was a life he could never have imagined.
"Sister...my sister and I just ate a little bit and that was it..."
Guo Xiaochuan didn't dare look at the stove, for fear that after one look he would never be able to look away.
Yi Xiaoqiu danced with the spatula in her hand quickly, "This is how I usually eat, you guys just follow suit! I don't have enough servants to make extra food for you two, so remember not to tell anyone."
Yi Xiaoqiu said this on purpose.
After hearing this, Guo Xiaochuan felt less burdened. He nodded heavily and said, "Sister, I understand. I won't tell anyone."
The grass was awakened by the aroma of the food.
She dreamed of eating meat, which made her very greedy.
Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes, I saw a plate of braised pork on the kang table.
Xiaocao was confused.
It took me a while to realize where I was.
"Brother?" Xiaocao looked for her brother first.
When Guo Xiaochuan heard his sister's cry by the stove, he immediately ran into the inner room.
"It's time to eat." Yi Xiaoqiu brought the soup into the inner room.
Guo Xiaochuan and his sister sat on the kang, feeling a little restrained.
The table next to it had been set up, and the clothes that had been altered for Xiaocao were placed next to the table.
"Xiaochuan, please help your sister change her clothes first!" Yi Xiaoqiu put the soup on the table.
"Sister, is this for me?" Xiaocao's eyes were full of surprise.
"Yeah! Try it on and see if it fits you."
After saying that, Yi Xiaoqiu went out to serve the dishes again.
"Xiaocao, you put on the clothes yourself. I'll go help Sister Yi." Guo Xiaochuan handed the clothes to his sister, got up and went outside to help serve the meal.
He had been outside helping to light the fire just now.
He was afraid of getting his new clothes dirty, so he didn't want to wear them when he was making fire and simply took them off.
The door to the outer room was half open. Although there was no stove, it was still not as warm as the inner room. As soon as the food was cooked, Yi Xiaoqiu drove everyone into the inner room.
The food was finally served on the table and Xiaocao put on her cotton coat.
Yi Xiaoqiu closed the door and saw the two siblings looking at her without moving for a long time.
Yi Xiaoqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Come and get your food. It will get cold if you don't eat it now."
Guo Xiaochuan blushed, opened the lid of the pottery jar, first filled a bowl of white rice for Yi Xiaoqiu, and finally filled half a bowl of sweet potatoes for him and his sister.
Yi Xiaoqiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She only put in a palm-sized sweet potato, but the two siblings ate it all up, leaving her to eat only rice, which she was not happy about.
Except for some hardships when Yi Xiaoqiu first entered the book, after he bound himself to the system and lived in a room alone, his life was much better than that of other educated youth.
She was not like those old educated youth who ate sweet potatoes and potatoes every day, and were so tired of eating sweet potatoes that they no longer wanted to eat them.
Yi Xiaoqiu likes to add some sweet potatoes to her meals every time, which makes them taste sweet.
"I like eating sweet potatoes. You have all taken them away. What should I eat?" Yi Xiaoqiu poured all the sweet potatoes from the grass bowl into his own bowl.
She originally wanted to let Guo Xiaochuan do it himself. Since it was a little busy, the brother and sister would not be so restrained. Unexpectedly, Guo Xiaochuan did not even dare to serve the rice.
It was a bad idea.
"Children need to eat more to grow taller." Yi Xiaoqiu filled a bowl of rice for Xiaocao.
Nowadays, everyone, young or old, eats a lot, so Yi Xiaoqiu doesn't worry at all that the little one won't be able to finish it.
After adding rice to Xiaocao, Yi Xiaoqiu filled Guo Xiaochuan's bowl with rice.
"It's the same with you. You need to eat more to grow taller."
Guo Xiaochuan's eyes turned red and tears almost came out. He quickly lowered his head.
Sister Yi said she liked eating sweet potatoes, but Guo Xiaochuan didn't believe it.
Who likes sweet potatoes?
If you eat too much of that stuff, not only will you fart, but your stomach will also be bloated.
When his mother was still alive, she also said that she liked to eat sweet potatoes, and gave all the rice in the pot to her brothers and sisters.
How come Sister Yi is so nice!
Yi Xiaoqiu had no idea what the little guy was imagining.
After serving the rice to the two of them, she picked up her bowl and began to eat. She also noticed that the two siblings only ate the rice without any vegetables.
"Come on, have some food! How can you finish all the food?"
As Yi Xiaoqiu spoke, he picked up two pieces of braised pork for the two siblings.
Guo Xiaochuan stared blankly at the bowl of braised pork, "Thank you, sister, that's enough for us to eat."
Xiao Cao also looked at the braised pork without moving, and said in agreement with her brother, "Sister, I have never eaten such soft rice!"
Xiaocao was less than three years old when Guo Xiaochuan's biological mother passed away. Since Ma Juhua came into the family, he has never eaten fine grains again. On weekdays, he was considered lucky to have a mouthful of corn grits porridge.
She thought the rice was so delicious that she could eat several bowls of it without eating any vegetables.
Guo Xiaochuan was not much better than his sister. He thought how could he not eat such delicious food?
He will never be unable to eat it for the rest of his life.
The two siblings stared at the bowl of braised pork in a daze for a long time.
Is this braised pork?
Xiaocao picked up the meat and took a bite.
Mmm~ so delicious!
Soft and smooth, how can there be something so delicious?
When Guo Xiaochuan saw that his sister had finished eating that piece of braised pork, he picked up the piece of braised pork from the bowl and gave it to her.
"Sister, eat."
Yi Xiaoqiu watched Guo Xiaochuan's actions but did not stop him.
After the little guy finished eating the meat, he didn't even pick up his chopsticks and continued to eat.
"Just pick up the food for yourselves! Don't always ask me to pick it up for you. I can't eat properly." Yi Xiaoqiu picked up a piece of braised pork for the other two and said deliberately.
"I understand, sister." Guo Xiaochuan obediently picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and gave it to his sister.
Yi Xiaoqiu no longer forced the two to eat meat.
The brother and sister looked pale and thin, and it was obvious that they were malnourished. They didn't eat much on a daily basis, so they had to eat meat slowly and couldn't eat too much at once, otherwise their stomachs wouldn't be able to handle it.
