After selling myself, I became the head of the family

Chapter 66 Cooking
  The sweet potato is a small one, and now it is steaming with honey on both ends. It smells sweet and very appetizing.

"Brother, you have to eat like this."

Su Qing glanced at Lu Xingzhou, who was at a loss, and then picked up a roasted sweet potato herself.

There was some firewood ash on the sweet potato, so the little girl just patted it with her hands, and then split it open from the middle, revealing the hot and yellow sweet potato inside.

The little girl handed the other half of the sweet potato to her sister, then she puffed her mouth and blew on it, then carefully took a bite.

Seeing her satisfied look, not only Lu Xingzhou but also other adults laughed.

This little girl is not only smart, but also very lovable, and people can't help but like her.

Lu Xingzhou also had a faint smile on his face, then looked at the sweet potato in his hand, gently broke off half of it and handed it to Granny Cai who was standing aside.

"Mommy, you should eat some too."

"Hey, okay."

Aunt Cai took the sweet potato with a smile and looked at the little girl opposite, her eyes full of love.

All are lovely children.

The sweet potatoes are sweet, fragrant, soft and delicious.

Lu Xingzhou finished the half of the sweet potato in his hand in a short while. Seeing that his hand was empty again, this time Su Jing picked a sweet potato from the edge of the fire and handed it over.

"Brother, you eat this, this is big."

The little girl looked at him eagerly, waiting for him to take the thing.

"Thank you."

Lu Xingzhou hadn't been in contact with so many people for a long time, so he just smiled and took the sweet potato, then broke it open again and ate it carefully.

When Su Yueyue and others entered the door, they saw everyone sitting around the fire, eating roasted sweet potatoes, laughing and joking.

As for Lu Xingzhou and Aunt Cai, they also nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Su Yueyue even thought that she had gone to the wrong house.

The door was opened three times, and the scene inside just changed from everyone eating roasted sweet potatoes together to everyone holding roasted sweet potatoes and staring at her.

"Yueyue, what are you doing?"

Everyone was carrying a lot of things in their hands, so they asked Su Yueyue to open the courtyard door, but no matter how long she opened and closed it, she didn't come in.

This is not the wrong place.

"Yueyue, what's wrong?"

Grandma Cai looked at the person standing at the door with some doubts, and just asked.

"No, it's okay."

After confirming that the person inside was really Aunt Cai, and that she really hadn't gone to the wrong place, Su Yueyue entered the door in a daze.

Without her blocking the door, the few people following her could clearly see the scene inside.

"Auntie, why did you eat roasted sweet potatoes? Are there any more?

I'm hungry too. "

Boss Xie chuckled, carried the things in his hands to the main room and put them away, then huddled next to the fire.

"Yes, yes, there are plenty, I won't make you hungry." Yang Lihua smiled and patted the ashes on his body.

Everyone was enjoying themselves, except Su Yueyue who felt uneasy.

It would be fine if she didn't know the identities of the young master and Aunt Cai.

But now that she knew the identity of the young master, and saw them sitting by the fire eating roasted sweet potatoes, her mother-in-law and aunts and uncles regarded him as the kid next door, she felt a little dreamy.

"Yueyue, what are you doing standing around? Come over and sit and warm up by the fire together."

Seeing that she was still stunned, Aunt Zhang hurriedly greeted her.

In previous winters, they liked to light a fire, and then everyone would carry their own small stools and bring two sweet potato and cabbage sticks to roast and eat.

"I'll clean up for a while so I can cook. Auntie, you guys can warm up by the fire."

Su Yueyue shook her head and carried the vegetable basket to the side of the stove. In order to make it easier for them to cook in the future, Xie Qiang also set up a table there, which was perfect for putting vegetables and meat.

The cutting boards and other pots and pans were also washed and placed aside for easy access later.

Firewood is burning in the stove. Only when the clay is hardened will it not break when used in the future.

Today I bought two kilograms of pork belly, a chicken and a sea bass. I bought winter bamboo shoots, fungus and yams as vegetables, as well as some cabbage, tofu and so on.

When the young master is at home, the dishes are never less than three dishes. Even today at home, Su Yueyue is ready to cook some of the dishes she has learned these days.

The chickens were killed there for an extra two cents, but the bass still needed to be processed.

Seeing that she was about to start cooking, Mr. Xie and Mr. Xie skillfully got up and went over to help.

"Yueyue, just cut the meat. Let's do the washing of vegetables and killing of fish."

The faces of the two teenagers were still stained with ashes from eating roasted sweet potatoes, but they had serious smiles on their faces.

"Ruo'an, you also go and help."

Seeing that Xie's baby had passed away, Aunt Zhang also poked her son with her elbow.

There is no saying in her family that scholars cannot enter the kitchen.

If you don't do anything, don't eat.

Although I said I was a guest today, the relationship between the two families was very good when Su Laoer was here, and I didn't send any gifts. All the Xie family's children went to help, so why was my son sitting here?

"Ah."

Zhang Ruoan nodded, got up and walked over.

Seeing the four children busy there, a strange look flashed in Nanny Cai's eyes, while Lu Xingzhou's expression darkened beside her.

Is this the playmate of that little girl Su Yueyue?

The two Xie brothers were born with thick eyebrows, big eyes and strong bodies. Although Zhang Ruoan was not as strong as the two of them, he was much stronger than the average scholar. In addition, he had a good appearance, which made Lu Xingzhou feel a little dissatisfied.

What else do you have now?

He was not allowed to take the imperial examination or engage in business, and he still needed care for his physical disabilities.

The only thing that could compare to them was the time spent with her now.

No one knew what the young man was thinking, and Grandma Cai only noticed that his mood seemed a little low.

"Yueyue, did you learn to cook at your master's house?"

Xie Laoer looked at her skillful movements and said with some surprise.

The two brothers can also cook, but the one who cuts vegetables and meat is definitely not as good-looking as her.

"I learned a little from my grandma."

Su Yueyue kept moving her hands, only looking at the pork belly under her hands seriously.

The meat she bought was fat, lean and well-proportioned. She didn't choose the fatter ones like other people.

Grandma Cai once said that the best way to buy meat is the three-layered one. The braised pork made this way is fat and lean, not greasy or greasy.

Looking at the evenly sized pieces of meat, Xie Laoer smashed his mouth and muttered softly.

"The meat sure looks delicious."

"Don't look at it. It will be ready in a moment for you to eat a few more pieces."

Su Yueyue said with a smile.

People in the village have good and bad days. Except for the Chinese New Year, when they kill pigs and eat meat, they are more frugal on weekdays.

The richer families would buy half a catty of meat every three to five days and take it home to make a tooth ceremony, while the poorer families would buy a little more and take it home during the holidays so that the whole family could enjoy the taste of meat.

There were many people here today, so she specially bought two kilograms of pork belly so that everyone could have a good meal.

My uncles and aunts have always helped my grandma after my father passed away. Today is the time to say thank you.
