Yun Daman turned back to look at Xiao Jinheng and said with a smile, "Young Master Xiao, you're here? Is there something you need?"
Old Man Yun and Mrs. Gu also looked at him curiously...
This young master had helped their family so much; they didn't know how to thank him.
Xiao Jinheng scratched his nose and asked in a low voice, "Did your family... steam sweet potatoes today?"
He had eaten steamed sweet potatoes at the Yun family's once before, which could be dipped in chili sauce or egg sauce.
They could also be eaten peeled.
The taste was truly fragrant and sweet.
Xiao Jinheng remembered the taste after eating it once, it was a bit like the steamed sweet potatoes his mother used to make...
Yun Daman looked at his mother, "Mom, did we steam sweet potatoes today?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head, "I think we made疙瘩汤 (geda soup), but steaming sweet potatoes doesn't take much time. Young Master Xiao, please come in!~"
Mrs. Gu beckoned to Xiao Jinheng...
"Then I'll trouble all of you!~" Xiao Jinheng walked in with his short legs.
As he passed by Xiao Xitian, he curved his lips slightly, "No stealing sweet potatoes from this young master, okay!"
Xiao Xitian: "......"
So childish.
When she grew potatoes and steamed them to eat with sauce, they would taste even better.
And she could also stir-fry potato shreds, potato slices, stew with sauerkraut, or stew with cabbage, which would taste amazing.
Even if she couldn't eat them all, she could pickle them into salted potatoes...
Seeing that his young master was going to have dinner at the old Yun family's, Kong Xingzhuo went back to Du Lao San's house and brought over a roasted chicken and four pig trotters.
Xiao Jinheng was tired of eating meat and always wanted to try vegetarian dishes.
He had been craving steamed sweet potatoes these past few days.
The chefs at home and wet nurse Jin couldn't make that taste...
"Huaihua, take out the sweet potatoes, wash them, and steam a few!~" Mrs. Gu entered the kitchen and instructed.
"Ah! Ah!" Jin Huaihua responded, picked up the sack piled in the corner of the kitchen, and dumped it on the ground.
Five oval-shaped large sweet potatoes rolled on the ground, all very plump...
Boil water in the large pot, place a steamer basket on top, wash the sweet potatoes, and arrange them on the basket one by one. Cover the pot, and they would be ready to eat in a while.
Indoors, Xiao Xitian and Xiao Jinheng were drawing.
"Little village child, what is that thing you're drawing? It's so strange," Xiao Jinheng asked curiously.
Xiao Xitian sat cross-legged in front of the kang table and wiggled her little feet, "This is a rocket, and this is an airplane..."
There were also Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, and Peppa Pig and Bramble Bear.
Xiao Jinheng blinked and stared at Xiao Xitian for a moment, "What is a rocket?"
The shape was very strange.
Xiao Xitian made a sound of acknowledgment, pointed to the sky with her charcoal pencil, "It can fly to the moon, it's amazing!~"
Xiao Jinheng: "......"
Is the little village child crazy?
Can this thing really fly to the moon?
Isn't that Chang'e's territory?
But thinking of the little village child's previous astonishing performances, Xiao Jinheng felt she was right...
Someone who could summon deer and a big yellow cow with a wave of her hand, Xiao Jinheng had no reason to doubt her.
After all, little monsters could fly.
After Kong Xingzhuo brought the roasted chicken and pig trotters, Liu Cuirong couldn't move...
She didn't even wash her hands, rushed over, broke off a chicken leg, and started devouring it.
"Heh, it smells so good, Little Treasure, you eat too!~"
She pulled off the other chicken leg and stuffed it into Yun Xiaobao's hand.
With so many people in the family, she had to grab the meatiest parts.
Yun Xiaobao: "......"
Mom, you're embarrassing me, you know?
The guests haven't even sat down, and you've already broken off two chicken legs. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?
Yun Xiaobao put the chicken leg back on the plate, pouting, "I don't want to eat it!~"
Liu Cuirong ate with her cheeks bulging, chewing as she said, "If you don't want it, then don't. Ungrateful little wolf cub..."
"Second daughter-in-law!" Mrs. Gu frowned, "Can you have some manners?"
Haven't you eaten roasted chicken before?
Young Master Xiao is still sitting on the kang, and you're gnawing on chicken legs in front of him. Are you a starving ghost?
"Hiccup!~" Liu Cuirong ate too quickly and choked until her eyes rolled back, "Water, quickly give me a glass of water, hiccup..."
No one paid attention to her.
Liu Cuirong rushed into the kitchen, scooped up a ladle of cold water, and drank it down.
"Phew, phew, I almost choked to death!~" She patted her chest and returned to the west room.
"Mom, I'm pregnant, eating some meat can supplement my body. Can you stop nagging me?"
Liu Cuirong sat on the edge of the kang and casually spat out a chicken bone...
She was now a great contributor to the old Yun family.
She had given birth to Yun Jinshan and Yun Xiaobao, and she might even be carrying twin daughters in her belly.
If she added two more girls to the Yun family, who would dare to boss her around then...
"So what if you're pregnant? Guihua is also pregnant, why isn't she as ill-mannered as you?"
Mrs. Gu's temples were throbbing with anger.
Liu Cuirong had a thick skin, so she didn't care what her mother said.
As for her eldest sister-in-law, she was just a sycophant...
She flattered her parents and always made delicious food.
She had integrity and wouldn't do anything that would affect her status.
Xiao Jinheng, following Xiao Xitian's example, also drew an airplane.
However, this airplane had six wings and looked somewhat awkward...
"It's so ugly!~" Xiao Xitian said with disdain.
She had never seen such an ugly airplane before.
Xiao Jinheng thought that the more wings it had, the more powerful it would be and the higher it would fly.
Zhao Guihua, with her pregnant belly, brought out the pickled vegetables the family had preserved...
"Mom, the sweet potatoes are steamed!~" Zhao Guihua said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinheng immediately put down his charcoal pencil and tidied his collar and hair.
In the palace, one had to tidy up their appearance before eating; one couldn't be too sloppy and had to be polite and have a sense of ceremony...
Xiao Xitian secretly glanced at him and giggled.
You stinky boy, this is a farmhouse, there are no such rules!~
"Bring it up when it's ready. Have you pulled the geda soup?" Mrs. Gu asked.
Zhao Guihua looked at her second sister-in-law, who had already eaten two chicken legs, and sighed slightly, "It's already pulled..."
"Good, then let's eat!~"
Old Man Yun washed his hands and walked in, followed by Daman holding a wine jar.
When the sweet potatoes were brought up, they were gently broken open, revealing the golden flesh inside. A slight sniff released a fragrant aroma.
Xiao Jinheng's eyes sparkled...
It was the taste he was looking for.
"Young Master Xiao, don't be shy when you're at our house. Eat heartily, there are plenty of sweet potatoes!~" Yun Daman said with a smile.
He picked up the largest sweet potato for Xiao Jinheng, "Here, try it. You can dip it in sauce too!"
"Thank you, Brother Daman..." Xiao Jinheng smiled slightly.
He picked up the sweet potato, blew away the heat, and then took a gentle bite.
"Mmm!~" Xiao Jinheng's eyes gradually widened, and his expression froze for two seconds.
"It's delicious!"
It was so delicious.
His tears were almost falling...
"If it's delicious, eat more. Xi'er, go serve Young Master Xiao a bowl of geda soup, pick the drier parts!~" Mrs. Gu instructed.
She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweet potato residue from the corner of Xiao Jinheng's mouth.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinheng closed his eyes, and a clear tear slid down, falling onto Mrs. Gu's hand...
The whole family was stunned.
