Ye Lulu looked over. Tsk, her husband-in-name was indeed quite handsome.
“I want to eat buns with wild vegetables, pork, and eggs.” Ye Lulu skipped the name-calling and said to Guan Chibei, “Is there still white flour?”
She naturally raised her request regarding food.
Guan Chibei nodded. “Yes, I’ll tell Mother. Let’s make the rest of the white flour into buns.”
Ye Lulu replied with a ‘yes.’
If Mother Rong heard this, she would faint. Guan Chibei had bought five catties of white flour when he entered the city that day. Did this mean that he would cook all of it this time?
Young people didn’t know how to save…
Since Ye Lulu had said so, Guan Chibei left the house and went hunting in the mountain.
As he stood in the forest, yin energy spread around. Guan Chibei hunted two pheasants and a fat roe deer. It was autumn, and many animals came out to look for food.
During this period of time, Guan Chibei had been going up the mountain. All the living prey had been running around the forest, and he could gain something without much effort.
After going down the mountain, the two pheasants were exchanged for pork with the butcher. Guan Chibei returned to the Guan family’s house and put down the pork. Then, he carried the roe deer to the city and bought ten catties of white flour.
It was unknown whether Mother Rong resented him for being extravagant or was pleasantly surprised that he had caught another prey. She chided him, “Your wife wants to eat buns, and it’s necessary to make some for her. However, you can just make some. You don’t have to use up all the white flour. You really don’t know how to live your life at all…”
“Since we’re doing this, the whole family should eat them.” Guan Chibei said, “If there’s no more food, I’ll hunt in the mountains. I brought food home so that everyone can eat. There’s no need to save them.”
Mother Rong was stunned and chided him again. However, she did not say anything else and went to the kitchen with the white flour.
The Guan family was really different from the other farmers’ families. The things in the kitchen were never locked. Everyone could go and get them, and the sisters-in-law wouldn’t touch anything.
Although Guan Chibei had bought another ten catties of white flour, Mother Rong was used to saving money. She mixed some sweet potatoes with the flour.
Two hours later, the two sisters-in-law of the Guan family returned with baskets. They had picked a lot of wild vegetables. They were green and looked very fresh.
After the wild vegetables were washed and chopped, the pork was chopped into minced meat, and ten eggs were cracked and stirred together. Oil was added to the pot. After the pot turned hot, the yellow egg mixture was poured in and stir-fried into pieces with the spatula. At this moment, a strong fragrance could be smelled.
Outside the Guan family, many villagers had been working for the entire morning. They were just about to go home to eat when they smelled this alluring fragrance. They sniffed hard and their necks almost stretched out.
“The Guan family is really incredible. What are they making again? It’s so fragrant…”
“I can smell meat. There must be meat! And it’s pork!”
This caused many villagers to be hungry and itchy in their hearts.
As the villagers spoke, this fragrance was like a slap to the face. When Auntie Tian heard this, her expression darkened.
After the barking last night, the Guan family had made delicious food today. She felt extremely unbalanced.
However, no matter how unhappy Auntie Tian felt, the Guan family still made the best buns today.
The fillings with wild vegetables, pork, and eggs were stir-fried and placed in the pot. The sweet potato and white flour were kneaded perfectly. Mother Rong sat in the courtyard with the family’s two sisters-in-law and wrapped buns.
They pinched them gently and an exquisite crease appeared.
Farmers had a deep obsession with food like buns and dumplings, especially buns with meat, dumplings, and white flour. The sisters-in-law were also very excited to be able to make such buns at home. They were especially careful when making them.
