Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 269 The Greedy Mother and Son

When she woke up, it was already three or four in the afternoon. As soon as Xu Han got up, she couldn't wait to go to the yard to see if the fruit leather that had been dried in the morning had been successfully shaped.

Xu Han spread the fruit leather very thinly, so it dried easily. Xu Han touched it with her hand and felt that it had solidified, so she tried to peel off the oil paper with her hands.

It broke just after I tore it a little bit. It seems that it is not good enough at the moment. It needs to be dried in the sun for a while.

Seeing this, Xu Han was about to go back to her room. When she looked down, she saw little Mu'er looking at Xu Han seriously, as if she was waiting for her mother to feed her.

Xu Han quickly withdrew her hand from her mouth and immediately stuffed the fruit leather she had just peeled off into Mu'er's mouth.

Now Xu Han is not very conscious of being a mother. She has maternal love but not too much. When she sees food, her first reaction is to put it into her own mouth. She often forgets to leave the food for her children.

Plus, I'm pregnant now and I'm greedy, so I can't even think about this. But under normal circumstances, I will still find ways to make delicious food for Mu'er.

Mu'er was very happy when she tasted the fruit leather for the first time. She even reached out to ask Xu Han for some fruit leather.

"Mu'er, you can't eat it now. Can you wait until it's ready tomorrow?"

"Mom, it's delicious~" Mu'er said while pulling her mother's clothes.

"Okay then, I'll give you a little bit to try, and you can eat the rest when we make it tomorrow, okay?" Xu Han suggested.

"Okay." When she heard that she could eat a little more, Mu'er immediately agreed.

So Xu Han scooped a little more from the oil paper and handed it to Mu'er. Since it hadn't solidified yet, he stuffed it directly into Mu'er's mouth to prevent him from getting everything sticky.

After Mu'er finished eating, the Taoist priest took her to the backyard for training.

Xu Han, who had nothing to do, opened the gate of the courtyard, stretched his neck to look outside, and saw that the flood that was very close to the door of his house yesterday had slowly receded a little, and was visibly much less.

Xu Han immediately became happy when she saw this scene, but then she thought, where will the flood go?

It must be a low place, and the possibility of it being at the foot of the mountain is undoubtedly greater. I can't help but feel worried.

He stood there in silence for a while, then closed the door and went back to the kitchen.

Xu Han has been in a good mood these past two days, and her morning sickness has improved a lot compared to before. She has also been eating more, and eating more naturally gives her more strength.

Lu Chuan was so happy to see that Xu Han was finally no longer as listless as before.

He followed Xu Han back and forth, smiling with a worthless look on his face, and Xu Han couldn't bear to look at him.

"Wife, are you hungry? What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you later."

"I don't know. I don't want to eat anything in particular. What do you want to eat?" Xu Han asked Lu Chuan.

"I'm fine with it. I'll eat whatever my wife wants to eat."

Xu Han thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat fish tonight. I haven't eaten fish for a long time. There are still a lot of pickled fish in the space. This one is delicious when braised. The meat is firm and fragrant."

"Okay, listen to my wife. I'll soak the fish first and we can cook it right away."

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he started to take action. He put the fish into a large wooden basin, filled it with water, covered it with a lid and let it soak.

Xu Han was not idle either. She took out a beef sausage from the space, cut it into slices and put it aside for later use. She would put it directly into the pot and steam it.

When Mu'er came to the kitchen to find them, the sun had already set. Seeing this, Xu Han began to prepare dinner for today.

Heat oil in a pan, pour onion, ginger, garlic, bean paste and hot pot base into the pan. After the oil turns red, put the fish that has been soaked in advance into the pot.

Use a spatula to pour the sauce in the pot onto the fish, then add a small amount of water from both sides of the pot, add appropriate salt and seasonings and simmer.

After the soup in the pot has dried up, put the fish on a plate and sprinkle some chopped green onions on it as garnish. A delicious and tasty braised fish is ready.

In another large iron pot, corn porridge was cooked, and sausages, pancakes, eggs and other things were steamed.

"Today's braised fish smells so good. I can't wait." The Taoist couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he served the dishes.

"It smells quite nice. Today's cooking method is different. We use hot pot base, so the taste is heavier. You can try it and see if it tastes good." Xu Han said.

The Taoist priest's hand holding the chopsticks immediately reached out for the braised fish on the table, without even looking at his favorite sausages next to him.

When the others saw this, they did not want to be left behind and quickly started to pick up the dishes, fearing that if they were a little late the Taoist priest would eat them all.

"Well, delicious, very tasty." The Taoist priest was so engrossed in the food that he was reluctant to say a few more words.

"The Taoist priest's summary is very accurate. It's delicious." Lu Chuan also said.

Grandpa Zhao's actions directly showed his love for the food. He couldn't stop eating it one bite after another.

Take a bite of the pancake, then a bite of the spicy fish, and then drink a mouthful of porridge when you are choking. It is absolutely delicious.

"I declare that from today on, this will be my favorite meal." Grandpa Zhao said after dinner.

"Hahahaha. It's rare to see Grandpa Zhao likes a dish so much." Lu Chuan said.

"Who said it wasn't? But this fish is really delicious. I can make it more often in the future." The Taoist priest also agreed.

"Okay, let's do it more often in the future."

Mu'er watched the adults eating happily and wanted to taste the fish too.

"This is too spicy. You can't eat it yet." Xu Han patiently explained to Mu'er.

But the Taoist priest was always so unexpected. He just dipped a little soup with chopsticks and quickly stuffed it into Mu'er's mouth.

Mu'er's face turned red instantly due to the spiciness, and tears came out in an instant, but Mu'er did not cry. After calming down for a while, she even wanted to eat a little more.

"Hahahahahaha, she's worthy of being our Mu'er. She's different. She didn't even cry." said the Taoist priest.

Xu Han quickly hugged Mu'er and said patiently, "This is too spicy for you. I'll make it for you when you grow up, okay?"

Seeing her mother said so, Mu'er could only nod, but her eyes were still fixed on the plate. Xu Han simply pretended not to see it.

This level of spiciness is hard for adults to accept, and it’s bad for children’s stomachs, who will have stomachaches soon.

"Mu'er, listen to your mother." The Taoist priest also said fiercely.

"You shouldn't have let him try it. You stopped laughing when he cried because it was so spicy." Grandpa Zhao complained to the Taoist priest.

"If you don't let him try, he will never know what it's like. Everything has a first time. I believe in Mu'er. Hahahaha. Boys should be tough. This is nothing."
