No one was willing to do so. Xu Hui smiled but did not say anything else.

Gou Sheng started a fire as Xiao Dazong brought a pot on top of the charcoal stove in the house. When he woke up in the morning, Xu Hui had already put the chicken meat in the pot, it should be ready by now.

After washing and soaking the rice, Yuan Zhou fished out the cooked chicken. He then peeled it into thin shreds, chopped the white radish into shreds, stewed the wild mushrooms until they were small, and then chopped into thin shreds of ginger.

Pour oil into the hot pan, pour the shredded radish and wild mushrooms into the pot and stir-fry a few more times, add a little water in between, add a little at a time, fry until there is no white heart in the rice; add a little salt to improve the taste, pour the chicken soup into the rice pot and cook slowly.

Slowly, a fragrant smell drifted out from the pot. Gou Sheng's mother laughed and said, ”Smells so sweet!”

Xu Hui smiled and said, ”There's no more food at home, Aunt. Shall we eat the pancakes along with the congee?” Gou Sheng's mom had made it soft and crispy, making it especially tasty. Xu Hui had learnt all this before, but it was still not as tasty as hers.

Gou Sheng's mother laughed as he rolled up his sleeves and scooped out two spoonfuls of white flour from the bowl. Just as he was about to scoop up the yellow rice noodles, Xu Hui laughed and said, ”Today is the holidays, let's eat white bread, shall we? It will also be good for us to have Master and Gou Sheng give some to Camp's brothers, as well as to Senior Qian Hu and Brother Chang. ”

”Dazong's daughter-in-law is right. We also have an indication!” As Gou Sheng's mother spoke, he scooped out two spoonfuls of noodles and started to mix them. Xiao Dazong rolled up his sleeves and walked forward: ”Aunt, I'll knead noodles!”

Gou Sheng smiled as he handed the blob of dough over to Xiao Da Yong. Xiao Da Yong used his strength to rub it for a while, causing the dough to become extremely smooth.

Xu Hui lifted the lid of the pot and stirred the porridge, it was already very sticky, Xu Hui quickly told Gou Sheng to extinguish the fire, and only a little of the charcoal remained to keep it warm.

He went to the house and pinched a bunch of garlic seedlings that he had raised on the windowsill for over ten days. Then he chopped them into pieces and sprinkled a little bit of the porridge into a bowl.

The children woke up one by one. Dazed and wearing cotton clothes, Niu Niu yawned and asked Xu Hui, ”Sister-in-law, is the salty porridge delicious?”

Xu Hui wanted to laugh as she watched. She reached out her hand to tie Niuniu's cotton clothes, and Xu Hui smiled and said, ”The porridge is done, aunty is in the middle of cooking. Quickly wash up, we're ready to eat.”

In the kitchen, Gou Sheng's mother, seeing that his face was almost awake, started to pancake.

He rolled a piece of dough into a rectangular piece, brushed a thin layer of oil, sprinkled the salt and pepper powder and onions evenly on it, folded the wide piece on both sides in the middle, folded it again, rolled it into a rectangle, smeared the oil and seasonings, then folded it again, folded it again and again, repeated four times, thus the cake was made with a total of seven or eight layers, the level was rich and the taste was especially good.

After rolling out the dough for the last time, heat the wok, paint it with a thin layer of oil, and place the waffle inside. 's mother used her hand to press onto the side of the pancake, agilely moving the pancake, making it evenly warm, so that it wouldn't burn too much in places and not fry too well in places.

The pancakes she was frying were very hot. She did not dare to use her hands like Gou Sheng, because she would have to use a shovel to break the pancake that was not hard enough.

Gou Sheng's mother could not help but grin when he heard Xu Hui's praise. ”What kind of ability is this, it's just rough skin. Dazong's daughter-in-law, it's just that your skin is tender, that's why you feel that it's hot.”

”Then wouldn't it be fine if I used more hands in the future?” Xu Hui laughed and joked. Xiao Dazong anxiously said: ”That won't do!”

Gou Sheng's mother laughed out loud, ”Da Yong's heart is hurting. Hehehe, don't worry, Aunt, I won't bear to part with your wife's hands. If it's a coincidence, you should pinch a needle or something, don't worry.”

Everyone laughed. Xiao Dayong looked at Xu Hui with a reddened face. Xu Hui's face was burning as she stared blankly at Xu Hui. She gave Xiao Dayong a rebuking look and scratched his head as he laughed foolishly.

The salty and tasty Eight Treasures Porridge was actually more like Xu Hui's improved chicken porridge. It was cooked very sweetly.

Xu Hui brought out a bowl and buckled it with a big bowl. Then, she wrapped two pancakes and asked Xiao Dayong to send one to Lin Qianhu. She then served a bowl to each of them and cut the pancakes into pieces before placing them on the table of the brick bed.

Everyone lowered their heads to drink their porridge, eat their pancakes, and eat the Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce.

Er Wa drank from his small bowl, held it up and said to Xu Hui, ”Sister, I still want to drink!”

Gou Sheng's mother quickly stopped Xu Hui and said, ”Don't give it to him to eat. Look what his stomach is like, this gluttonous ghost doesn't have a full stomach.

Xu Hui looked at Er Wa's bloated belly and patted it lightly. ”Let's have noodles at noon and leave some stomach for lunch, shall we?”

”Mouthy noodles? I want to eat a big bowl, as big as my brother's bowl! ” Er Wa's eyes lit up. He liked to eat noodles the most, especially when it was cooked by Xu Hui. The meat was both fresh and salty, and when it was poured on his face, it tasted really good.

Everyone looked at Gou Sheng's bowl that was bigger than Er Wa's head and could not help but laugh. Gou Sheng also scolded with a smile: ”Er Wazi, you're a glutton, and even want to make such a big bowl with me. Look, it's enough to fit you in!”
