Jiang Zhilian usually eats quickly, but today she grabbed the steamed buns and ate them almost one bite at a time.

When Yao Xiaowang was making steamed buns just now, she carefully observed them from beginning to end, and she shouldn't have missed any details.

But she didn't find anything special in the process of making steamed buns.

This steamed bun is steamed white and fat, soft but not too fluffy; It's chewy, but it doesn't tire your teeth.

Chew carefully, in addition to the rich and unique flavor of the grain, there is also a hint of sweetness.

Jiang Zhilian was sure that he didn't put sugar or anything else in the noodles.

Moreover, even if you really put sugar, it doesn't taste like this refreshing, sweet smell with an aftertaste.

This steamed bun is so wonderful!

Jiang Zhilian couldn't guess where the secret was for a while.

Meng Qing bumped all the way, didn't eat well, and didn't rest well.

In addition, he was worried about his father, and at the same time, he was negotiating with the village chief very unpleasantly.

I also have to worry about the person who suddenly appeared and made him disappear quietly, he actually has no appetite, and he didn't feel hungry before eating.

But while eating, unconsciously, he actually ate four steamed buns with a large amount.

After eating, he felt a little panicked.

Normally, no matter how hungry he is, he can eat two, and he is smaller than Yao Xiaowang did.

It's kind of magical.

Jiang Zhilian hiccuped when she saw him cover her mouth, and immediately smiled, "Hold on, right?" ”

Meng Qing was a little puzzled, "Did I eat four?" ”

Jiang Zhilian smiled and nodded, "Well, four!" ”

"Why did I eat so much?" Meng Qing muttered.

Yao Xiaowang smiled happily, "When my daughter is not feeling well, she can eat a whole!" You are such a tall man, a big man of your age, what's so strange about eating four! ”

"He eats a small amount." Jiang Zhilian pinched the steamed bun in her hand and praised again and again: "The main thing is that your steamed bun is too good!" If you can't stop eating, you will eat too much if you are not careful. ”

Yao Xiaowang smiled: "You can eat if you like, there are no other good things to entertain at home." ”

"Who did you learn steamed buns from?" Jiang Zhilian asked with interest.

Yao Xiaowang was stunned, "Do you still need to learn?" When I was a child, I saw my mom do it, so I started it. In fact, it's quite simple, just knead the dough, put it aside to wake up for a while, and then steam it on the fire. ”

That's so simple!

But if you let the kitchen killer do the same, you might not be able to steam out a drawer of stones.

Even Jiang Zhilian would not do better than Yao Xiaowang.

Jiang Zhilian glanced at Yao Xiaowang's expression and found that his expression was relaxed and his tone was very natural.

He didn't tell a lie, he probably wasn't intentionally hiding the secret recipe or anything.

Perhaps, he really felt that he was just steaming steamed buns according to the usual method and according to the process that everyone knows.

It's just better than the average person.

But the difference and gap between them, Jiang Zhilian weighed it clearly in her heart.

And, it's a little exciting.

Yao Xiaowang may be a hidden master of white cases!

Or the kind of master he himself doesn't even know!

After the meal, the little girl wanted to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but was forcibly stopped by Yao Xiaowang and coaxed to the bed.

"You all leave it alone, I'll clean it up here." Yao Xiaowang pushed Jiang Zhilian and Meng Qing into the back room, "My bed is quite big, and it is no problem to sleep three people." The two of you hurry up and squint for a while, and the sixth son is estimated to come over in the middle of the night. ”

"What about you?" Jiang Zhilian asked.

"I'll just spread a straw mat next to the stove, and I've slept like this before." Yao Xiaowang rubbed his nose, "I listened to some movement in the outhouse, otherwise I would have fallen asleep and would have no time to react." ”

Jiang Zhilian glanced at Meng Qing.

Meng Qing didn't say anything.

Yao Xiaowang told again: "You guys just wear clothes and sleep!" It's a little more convenient. ”

"Okay, got it!" Jiang Zhilian glanced at the stove in the outhouse, "You burn the fire a little harder, don't catch a cold." ”

"I'm rough and thick-skinned, frost-resistant! But I'm going to make the stove a little hotter so that your back room can be warmer. Yao Xiaowang paused, and looked over Jiang Zhilian's shoulder at the girl lying on the bed, "An An will ask you to take care of her at night, if she has a fever or is uncomfortable, she will keep turning over." ”

Jiang Zhilian nodded, "I'll pay attention, don't worry!" ”

"It's okay for you two to cover a quilt, right?" Yao Xiaowang suddenly remembered something, strode into the room, and took out a thick quilt from the wardrobe and spread it on the bed.

He suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have asked about the relationship between Jiang Zhilian and Meng Qing.

But judging from the way the two of them get along, Yao Xiaowang acquiesced to that they were a family.

Jiang Zhilian walked over to help spread the quilt and replied, "Yes, a quilt is enough." ”

Anyway, they all slept in clothes, and they couldn't get cold if they didn't cover it tightly.

Moreover, although this bed is large, it can't fit three quilts.

"Wait a minute!" Yao Xiaowang trotted out as he spoke, and after a while, he returned to the back room with four glass bottles filled with hot water.

He stuffed two of them into his daughter's quilt, and put the remaining two at the foot of the other quilt.

"It's warm! It won't be cold at night! Yao Xiaowang retreated to the door of the room, "You guys sleep!" Just shout at me for anything. ”

He closed the door, and after two or three seconds, he pushed it away violently, pointed to a spittoon in the corner, and stumbled, "That, you maybe, may not be used to it." That is, if you want to relieve yourself at night, you can use that. I really don't want to use it, there is a toilet outside, but it will be a little colder. ”

Jiang Zhilian sat on the edge of the bed, glanced at the corner of the wall, and saw a spittoon embroidered with a big red peony that had fallen off porcelain.

"An An drank a lot of hot water and is expected to get up at night. She'll take care of herself, so you don't have to worry about it, just sleep in peace. After Yao Xiaowang finished speaking, he closed the door abruptly.

Jiang Zhilian thought that she would hear a bang, but she didn't expect Yao Xiaowang to collect a little more energy when the door was about to close.

The door closed softly and didn't make much noise.

An An had a fever in the afternoon, and played around again before dinner, probably tired, and had fallen asleep when he was laying out the quilt just now.

Yao Xiaowang was probably afraid of waking up his daughter, so he carefully did not make any big moves.

Jiang Zhilian slept in the middle, and Meng Qing lay on the side next to her.

The two of them covered themselves with quilts, and their feet were warm, and soon the whole person was warm.

There was a faint fragrance on the quilt.

Jiang Zhilian turned around, faced Meng Qing, looked at his side face, and asked in a low voice, "Do you smell the fragrance?" ”

"Hmm." Meng Qing maintained a supine posture and did not move, nor did he open his eyes.

He held Jiang Zhilian's hand, rubbed it gently, and pinched it twice in her palm, "It's the fragrance of osmanthus flowers." ”

Jiang Zhilian took a deep breath, the light smell made people feel very comfortable.

Yao Xiaowang looks like a rough man, but he didn't expect his mind to be quite delicate.

He was supposed to let his daughter sleep more soundly and peacefully, and also let her smell some women's scents when she slept, creating a feeling that her mother was still around. So when the osmanthus is in full bloom, I picked up some petals and smoked the pillow towel and quilt......

It is estimated that there are still sun-dried osmanthus petals in the closet.

"In a moment, you tap." After a long time, Jiang Zhilian suddenly opened her mouth softly.

Meng Qing heard this sentence half-asleep and let out a low "um".

Then he squeezed Jiang Zhilian's hand, which had never let go, and added, "Sleep, I know it in my heart." ”

Jiang Zhilian couldn't fall asleep, and her mind was churning heavily.

She listened to Meng Qing's breathing and knew that he wasn't asleep either, but had been trying to keep himself asleep.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out very well.

At more than two o'clock, Jiang Zhilian faintly heard a few dog barks.

The sound source is a little far away from Yao Xiaowang's house, and it is estimated that it will be more than ten minutes later.

It's really a wolf dog to scare people.

She suddenly felt like laughing.

If the village chief found a group of people to come in directly and beat people, they might not really be able to get any benefit, after all, he and Meng Qing were not fighters.

In other people's territory, Yao Xiaowang is the only friendly army, and it is easy to suffer.

However, if Village Chief Qiao plans to use wolf dogs to scare people-

That's really- a great weapon for them!
