Chapter 281
Zhong Ruyi tore a whole fried chicken into pieces and put them in a dustpan. She told the somewhat restrained children, "No need to use chopsticks, just eat with your hands."
Shitou handed the dustpan to them and asked them to take a piece each. The cake had already been cut.
The double-layer cake tastes sweet, and the cream is dense and delicious, which melts in your mouth. The cake is just the right amount of soft and has a hint of milky flavor.
Tiedan ate without even raising his head, with cream all around his mouth.
All the people present were children under twelve years old. Zhong Ruyi and Zhang Mingzhu, who were already considered adults, seemed a little restrained to have them here.
He went into the kitchen, took out the cooled sour plum soup, and placed a stack of bowls on the table.
She put the remaining fried chicken and a large piece of cake into the basket, and took Zhang Mingzhu, who was eating with a satisfied look on her face, out.
As she walked, she said, "Cuicui, Shitou and Xiaohe, you guys eat at home. I'm going to go out for a while. You and your classmates should stay at home."
After she left, Li Yang and others, who were still a little restrained, finally relaxed and whispered to Shitou, "Your aunt is amazing. She can cook so many delicious dishes!"
Tiedan pulled off a chicken leg and handed it to Shuisheng, "Shuisheng, eat it quickly! It's delicious!"
Cake, watermelon, grapes, strawberry, fried chicken, French fries, potato chips, and sour plum soup.
We don’t know how Shitou, Xiaohe and Cuicui, the three people celebrating their birthdays, are doing, but Tiedan is undoubtedly the happiest person today.
Li Yang had never eaten so many delicious foods before. Before coming here, his mother and grandmother had reminded him that he must be polite when visiting someone else's home, and the same applies to eating. He should not eat too much and only eat until half full.
But who can resist facing so many delicious foods on the table that you have never seen before?
Zhong Ruyi took Zhang Mingzhu, who was still reluctant to leave, and walked towards her third brother's house.
"I'm not full yet. I only ate a piece of cake. I haven't eaten the fried chicken and French fries yet!" Zhang Mingzhu was reluctantly dragged away by her.
She was eating chocolate cake, and there was another fruit cake that she hadn't eaten yet.
There was still so much fried chicken, French fries and potato chips that she hadn't tasted them all yet.
It was a pity that she had just been in the kitchen suppressing her craving for so long, but in the end she didn't get to eat it.
Zhong Ruyi glanced at her and found that there was still some butter on the corner of her mouth. She didn't remind her maliciously, but just gave her the basket of fried chicken, "Then help me deliver this basket to the third brother's house and then go back to eat. I'm going to find Brother Dongzhi."
"Brother Dongzhi, Brother Dongzhi~You are Brother Dongzhi!" Zhang Mingzhu curled her lips, grabbed the basket and ran away before Zhong Ruyi could reach out to hit her.
She was laughing as she ran, but her joy soon turned into sorrow because she stumbled and almost fell to the ground because she didn't look at the road. Fortunately, an aunt on the road reached out and held her up, "Little girl, why are you so impatient? You fell down while walking?"
Zhang Mingzhu was a little embarrassed and ran away quickly with the basket.
Zhong Ruyi simply couldn't stand this funny guy.
She just remembered that she forgot to call Xiaoxue and Xiaoman over. Thinking it would be a bit troublesome to call them again, she simply sent them over directly.
When we arrived at Chen's house, Chen's mother Xiaoxue and Xiaoman, who didn't have to go to school, were there, but Chen Dongzhi had gone out for something.
Mother Chen smiled and said, "A few days ago, General Jiang sent someone to tell Dongzhi that he was going back to the capital today. If he didn't go back, people in the capital would gossip about him, which would be bad. Dongzhi went to talk to the general."
Zhong Ruyi nodded and took out the cake and fried chicken from the basket. "Then forget about it. Auntie, this is some food I made. Try it. If you like it, I'll make it for you next time."
She took out a large piece of cake and placed it in front of Xiaoxue. "This is a cake. Your brother said you like sweet things. Try it."
Xiaoman went into the kitchen and ate with a spoon. Mother Chen picked up the fried chicken and looked around, a little surprised. "What is this? How can it be like this? I have never seen it before."
Zhong Ruyi explained that this was made of chicken, coated with flour and egg liquid and fried in oil, and it smelled very good.
Chen's mother was shocked. It was made of chicken, flour and eggs, and then fried in oil. How much work would that take?
She took a bite, the fried chicken had a crispy skin and the chicken inside was tender and juicy, she soon stopped thinking it was too much effort, it was normal to spend a little more time on delicious food.
Xiaoxue's eyes lit up when she took the first bite of the cake. It was soft, sweet and melted in her mouth.
She didn't say anything, but just took the spoon and put spoonfuls of food into her mouth, which was the biggest compliment to Zhong Ruyi's cooking skills.
After leaving Chen's house, Zhong Ruyi returned home. The children at home were still eating. Zhang Mingzhu was mixed among the children, holding a cake in one hand and fried chicken and French fries in the other.
When Li Yang and others saw someone coming back from home, they immediately became reserved again, and some even stood up to greet Zhong Ruyi.
Ignoring the cream hanging from the corners of their mouths, Zhong Ruyi waved her hands and asked with a smile, "Don't eat too much, we still have to eat lunch."
Several children said thank you in unison, and then Li Yang took the lead to put the food he brought on the table, and said embarrassedly, "Aunt Ruyi, this is the food we brought. I'm sorry to bother you for lunch. Is there anything I can help with? I can help light the fire and wash the vegetables!"
Zhong Ruyi had already seen the small bags they were carrying and thought they were their homework, but she didn't expect that they actually brought their own rations.
But she didn't say no directly, she just accepted it with a smile.
"Nothing to help you with, just keep talking, I'll call you if I need anything."
"Okay." Li Yang and others nodded obediently.
She went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, but before she could take out the braised food that had been braised all morning in the pot, Li Guihua hurried home.
Li Yang and the others naturally stood up and called for help. Li Guihua smiled and responded, then turned to ask Zhang Mingzhu who was eating fried chicken, "Mingzhu, where is Ruyi?"
Zhang Mingzhu swallowed the meat in her mouth and pointed in the direction of the kitchen.
Seeing her eating together with several other children like a young lady, while her younger sister had to work hard in the kitchen, Li Guihua originally didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Mingzhu living in her house, but now she became dissatisfied seeing her like this.
You are here to stay for a while, why do you really think you are here to enjoy yourself?
But she came back for something and had no intention of causing trouble for Zhang Mingzhu, so she went straight into the kitchen.
"Little sister, the mason has come to deliver the jars. He has delivered them all after more than ten attempts. He just asked me if I still wanted to place an order for the jars, and I just answered him perfunctorily."
Zhong Ruyi just remembered that she had not told her sister-in-law what she had said to the mason's wife last time, so she told her everything.
"What? The price of a jar is going to increase to ten cents? Is she robbing us? Or does she think our money came from the wind?" Li Guihua was so angry.
"It's okay. She'll raise her price. We won't order jars from them anymore. During this time, I'll look for someone nearby who has a family to do masonry work. If that doesn't work out, we'll have to buy from town."
Li Guihua gritted her teeth in hatred, "Just now that mason looked so confident, didn't he think we could only order jars from them? How wicked!"
Zhong Ruyi didn't take it to heart. While comforting Li Guihua, she poured another pot of stewed rice into a wooden basin.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you eat first before going to work? It's almost time for dinner in the workshop now."
After looking at the sun, Li Guihua agreed and helped to serve the prepared food.
The cake and fried chicken on the table had been eaten, and Xiao Huang was wagging his tail and rubbing against Tiedan's feet under the table.
At the dinner table, Li Guihua was greeting her child's classmates. When she saw Li Yang's face, she felt that he looked familiar. She subconsciously said, "You look very familiar, like someone I know."
