Chapter 79 Unexpected surprise
Her mother-in-law's question made Fang Jinxiu dumbfounded.

"There's no sugar, just a little extra licorice for cough relief."

"This medicinal ingredient was also included in the prescription you drank before."

Mu said in surprise, "Then why do I always feel that your medicine is much better than the previous medicine."

Fang Jinxiu paused, she couldn't tell her mother-in-law that the water she used to make medicine was spiritual spring water, while Zong Yu used to use water that had not been filtered out of mud and impurities.

"Maybe, the filtered water has become cleaner, which improves the taste of the medicine." She immediately turned her attention to the water.

Mu nodded, as if he accepted the explanation, and didn't ask any more questions.

She held Fang Jinxiu's hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"Since you entered our house, our family's life seems to have gotten better instantly."

"Jinxiu, you are truly the lucky star of our family."

"It would be great if Yulian hadn't left. If this continues, sooner or later our family's life will return to its previous state, and her dowry will be saved."

When Zong Yulian was mentioned, Mu's expression became a lot more lonely.

He grabbed his eldest daughter with one hand and walked away.

Fang Jinxiu thought of Zong Yu and Zong Bai's fierce expression when he left just now, and felt that it was unlikely that Zong Yulian's marriage would be consummated.

Sooner or later she has to come home.

So she comforted Mu, "Mom, don't worry, Yulian will come back."

Mrs. Mu knew that her daughter-in-law was comforting her, so she patted her hand but smiled without saying a word, and then continued to work on her embroidery work.

At noon, Fang Jinxiu found a bamboo shoot while walking around the Zong family's house, which made her happy.

Then she continued to look around. The bamboo shoots were all growing together, and it was absolutely impossible for only one to grow.

She searched for a while, and sure enough, she found several fresh bamboo shoots.

There used to be a bamboo forest around Zong Yu's house, but unfortunately after the drought, the villagers secretly chopped down all the bamboo.

Naturally, they didn't dare to come when Zong Yu was at home, but he had to go hunting during the day, so it was difficult to stay at home all the time.

Most of the bamboo cut down was used by the villagers as food or kettles. During the first drought, every household was storing water.

When the water tank is full, use something else to store it. I don’t know if I saw someone using a bamboo tube to store water.

As a result, the small bamboo forest behind Zong Yu's house suffered.

Now all the bamboo was gone, but no one noticed the bamboo shoots in the ground, which gave Fang Jinxiu a huge advantage.She took out the dried bacon that Zong Yu had reserved before, washed it, put it in a pot over water and steamed it for a while. She took it out after the meat was soft enough to be cut.

Cut the meat into slices and cut the tender parts of the bamboo shoots into thin slices.

Stir-fry the meat slices with oil until fragrant, then add bamboo shoots. Even without seasonings such as garlic and chili, the aroma is overflowing when fried. Fang Jinxiu swallows her saliva while cooking.

In the past few days since she came to Zong's house, she had only cooked one serious breakfast. In fact, Fang Jinxiu loved eating delicious food.

People who love food will naturally have good cooking skills. They watch food videos every day and can watch them for a long time.

After frying a dish, she made a simple egg soup. Mu needed to eat nutritious food for digestion. Finally, she simply mixed wild vegetables with vinegar and sesame oil and a little salt.

This lunch is considered ready.

Considering that Zong Bai might come back for dinner at noon, she deliberately made more portions of the dishes so that she could still eat them all at night.

The staple food is still rice paste or porridge, so that the food can last longer.

After the food was served, Mu Shi saw that the dishes were so rich and normal, and she almost thought she was dazzled.

"Did you do all this?" She looked at Fang Jinxiu and asked.

"Yes, mother, come and try my cooking." She couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick of fried pork with bamboo shoots for Mu.

After eating, Mrs. Mu nodded excitedly, "It's delicious!"

Looking at Fang Jinxiu, her eyes became more and more fond of her, "I didn't expect that my Jinxiu's cooking skills are so good."

"It's so delicious. What kind of dish is this? It's crunchy and delicious."

Fang Jinxiu was a little confused, hadn't Mu Shi ever eaten bamboo shoots?It grows right behind their house.

"Mom, these are bamboo shoots. I dug them behind the house. Haven't you dug them and eaten them before?"

Mu was a little surprised, "So those bamboos are still edible?"

At this moment, an uninvited guest suddenly came outside the door.

"Mu Yunhe! You little bitch, didn't you say you're so poor that you can't even afford a penny? You secretly eat meat at home!"

Mrs. Liu came to ask Fang Jinxiu why she had no choice but to marry her grandson. She thought about it, and she always felt that this girl was very evil. She wanted to come up and ask for an explanation. It would be great if she could extort something back.

Unexpectedly, she smelled a delicious smell of food as soon as she arrived. Liu's mouth was so greedy that she couldn't hold back her saliva, and she rushed into the Zong's courtyard like the wind.
