During lunch, as soon as Xiao Lin sat down, a bowl of stewed eggs with walnut kernels was placed in front of him.

The unique smell of brown sugar filled his nose. Xiao Lin stared at the bowl in front of him for a while, then turned to look at the palm-sized portions in front of others, and asked Wang Xinyu who had not yet sat down:

"Comrade Xiao Wang, are you mistaken?"

Wang Xinyu looked at the sea bowl he was pointing at, pursed his lips with a smile, and shook his head: "That's right, I said you have been too tired recently, and I want to give you a good supplement."

Xiao Lin choked at her words, turned to look at the initiator, and saw Zhang Chunnuan elegantly scooping up walnut kernels in the bowl with a small spoon.

He clearly saw Zhang Chunnuan's spoon tilting against the wall of the bowl for a while after scooping out the walnut kernels, filtering out the sugar water before putting it into his mouth.

Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.

One cannot, at least one should not...

"Can Xiaolin kill turtles? Well... just water fishes?"

Zhang Chunnuan poured the remaining sugar water in the small bowl into Shen August's bowl and asked leisurely.

"Huh?" Xiao Lin came back to his senses, "Yes!"

As the old chief's guard, chef, assistant, and nanny (?), his cooking skills are also remarkable.

"That's good." Zhang Chunnuan showed a satisfied smile on his face, "I'll have to trouble you to catch a turtle from the fish pond later. Xiao Yu'er has never done this before, and it's not convenient for me to do this now."

Xiao Lin expressed his understanding and was very willing to do more work.

Since he left the capital with Mr. Zhou, he has had a lot less things to worry about.

The old head of the Shen family who came to Shanjiao Village is no longer picky about food, loses his temper, and is no longer awkward. His health is better, his energy is up... he can walk around Shanjiao Village several times in one breath!

In his heart, Mr. Zhou regards Xiao Lin, who has been with him for many years, as another grandson. Now seeing that he and his grandson's wife are getting along well, he is happy to serve another bowl of stewed eggs with walnut kernels.

"Old chief, just eat one bowl, don't eat more!"

Xiao Lin directly took the bowl from Mr. Zhou's hand, poured it into the bowl in front of him, and personally served him a bowl of vegetable porridge.

"You should go to the hospital for a check-up next month. When you were in Beijing, the doctor said your blood sugar was too high and you should pay attention to your diet..."

Mr. Zhou was impatient to listen to his ramblings, waved his hand to interrupt him, picked up the bowl, and drank half the bowl of porridge with a slurp, "I'm very fine, those doctors are talking nonsense! Also, Xiao Yu'er is also your niece, don't scream all day long It sounds noisy to my little comrades!"

"Grandpa, you eat the vegetables." Zhang Chunnuan took a large folder of lettuce, filled the old man's bowl directly, and said seriously: "You can only eat two pieces of turtle tonight, no more."

Even if he didn't like the food served by his grandson's daughter-in-law, Mr. Zhou would still eat it thoroughly.

…

After the meal, Father Shen took the woodcutter, said "Go to the bamboo forest" and went out.

The dragon and phoenix pulled Mr. Zhou to show off the birthday gift he had received. Then one of the two children rode, and the other sat in the carriage holding a rag doll. The three-wheeled wheels turned very fast.

Zhang Chunnuan also entered the kitchen, smuggling fruits and cream from the farm when no one was around, and preparing to decorate the cake.

She had just put her things away when Wang Xinyu's voice came from outside the door: "Honey, Uncle Xiao Lin and I went to catch aquatic fish."

Zhang Chunnuan responded and ordered: "Catch two more grass carps and more shrimps. I love eating them in August!"

"Hey~ I understand."

After confirming that no one was disturbing him, Zhang Chunnuan rolled up his sleeves and started cutting fruit.

Cut the fruits you grow at home, those that grow wild in the mountains, and those you can buy into pieces and keep them for decoration.

If it's out of season, not local, or not available in the market, I boil the jam and put it into the cake.

After a flurry of work, when Xiao Lin and Wang Xinyu came back with half a bucket of shrimps and slaughtered soft-shelled turtles and grass carps, her cake had already taken shape.

It's just this prototype, it doesn't have a regular shape.

It may be that too little oil was applied, and the cake base was not a cylinder when it was taken out.

Zhang Chunnuan cut for half an hour and was half full after eating the leftovers, and finally got three one-inch thick round cake embryos.

A layer of cake base, a layer of jam, and another layer of cake base.

In order to give the cake a nice height, the jam is spread thickly.

Since there were no corresponding tools, Zhang Chunnuan could only take a wooden knife and try his best to smooth the cream.

To be honest, if it weren't for the purpose of compensating for the twins, she really wouldn't bother making this laoshizi cake.

Wang Xinyu and Xiao Lin entered the kitchen and took a curious look at the cake in Zhang Chunnuan's hand before being sent away.

The chickens haven't been killed yet, and the vegetables haven't been picked yet. Where did all this curiosity come from? Go, go, go, get to work quickly!

Zhang Chunnuan was alone in the kitchen, putting the cut fruits on the cake.

If you want to look good, don’t think about it, the main thing is a real one!

After making the cake, she looked at it with satisfaction for a while, put it in the cupboard, and locked it.

When Zhang Chunnuan clapped her hands and walked out of the kitchen with ease, she realized that Zhou Haoran had come back and was busy at the well!

She walked over and asked, "Is everything done?"

Zhou Haoran held the knife in one hand and pressed the soft-shelled turtle on the chopping board with the other. Just as he was about to drop the knife, he stopped when he saw Zhang Chunnuan, "Step back, this thing has a strong smell, and it will splash on you in a while!"

"Oh." Zhang Chunnuan took a step back holding his belly and asked again: "Have you seen Zhengping? Is he okay? I heard the mistress said that he was beaten badly by his grandfather."

Zhou Haoran's hands moved swiftly and neatly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire turtle was chopped into pieces the size of mahjong.

"He, it's okay. The old man beat him harder in the past. This time maybe it's because the old man is old and his muscles and bones are not injured..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Xinyu, who was holding a small pair of scissors to extract shrimp threads next to him, and raised his voice, "It's just bruises. I heard that our family is celebrating the birthdays of Seventeenth and August tonight, and he asked me to give him something good."

Food!”

Wang Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhou Haoran say that the man had no injuries to his muscles and bones, but he took a breath back when he heard the words "skin and flesh torn".

Is it that serious? He was locked up in a militia camp alone and didn’t know if he could have enough to eat...

A smile flashed across Zhou Haoran's eyes. Although he didn't understand Tan Zhengping's thoughts, as a brother, he would help if he could!

But even with his help, it probably wouldn't be possible for two people...

Thinking of this, Zhou Haoran glanced at Zhang Chunnuan and thought: If nothing else is mentioned, Nuan'er alone is an obstacle that cannot be overcome.

"You guys can eat dinner after we cook it later. I will ride my bike to deliver some food and a change of clothes to Zhengping. He almost stinks!"

Zhang Chunnuan looked disgusted and backed away with a "Hey!" "Since I want to serve him rice, Xiao Yu'er will steam the rice first. Don't make too complicated dishes. Stew the chicken and blanch some vegetables."

Just send it away."

Wang Xinyu responded, got up and went to the kitchen.

Looking at her leaving back, Zhang Chunnuan suddenly asked: "Haoran, do you think Xiao Yu'er is a little strange? Is she frightened by what happened recently?"

Zhou Haoran raised his head and followed her gaze, waving his hand, "Maybe I was really frightened by what the Liu family did. It's okay. I told the chief operating officer about the Liu family's affairs today, and he said he would investigate.
