Ye Lulu looked at Damao in surprise and felt that he was strange and cute. Ye Lulu looked at him with a smile and said, “Brother Damao is amazing. You know how to clean up and even help your younger brother clean up.”
Under Ye Lulu’s gaze, Damao’s face flushed red.
Then, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Ye Lulu!
Ye Lulu was amused. Damao seemed to be on fire and his face was as red as an apple! This child was too cute!
The snow outside stopped. Ye Lulu had an idea and suddenly wanted to try making some delicious food. Since she was in a good mood today and had nothing to do, why not go to the kitchen and try cooking?
Ye Lulu was still thinking about her business.
Ye Lulu went to the kitchen.. On such a cold day, the fire in the kitchen was constantly burning because the hot water supply could not be cut off. The Guan family may need to use hot water at any time since it was so cold outside. If the firewood was slightly weak, it would be troublesome.
Furthermore, there was a new pond where fish were raised.
Hence, when Ye Lulu entered the kitchen, it was warm. The stove had not been turned off.
She didn’t need to start a fire. She stood in the kitchen and looked at the things she had. After thinking for a while, she took out some red beans and started to boil red bean paste.
It would take a long time for the red bean paste to be prepared. Fortunately, Ye Lulu did not lack time. The Guan family had made chicken soup that day, mainly to nourish Ye Lulu’s body. Of course, the entire family drank it.
There was still a little more than a big bowl of chicken soup left. It was simmered in the pot. Ye Lulu had planned to drink another bowl at night.
Ye Lulu picked a small radish, a small potato, a few large cabbage leaves which she could just break off from the fresh cabbage, some ready-made fish slices, and some ready-made meatballs.
Mother Rong had specially prepared a large pile of meatballs. There were more than a hundred of them. They were frozen in the snow outside and could be thawed when they wanted to eat them. It was convenient to use them to make meatballs and vegetable soup at any time.
They were ordinary pork balls and fish balls.
They were different from the modern fish balls, but the advantage was that the ingredients were fresh and delicious.
She also picked up a small bunch of fresh mushrooms. There weren’t many fresh mushrooms left, so Ye Lulu only skewered two—
That’s right. She took a bunch of wooden sticks. There were many people in the mountains who knew woodworking. Many things were made by themselves, so they were also very skilled in woodworking. Father Guan and the rest had nothing to do in the snow, so they shaved a lot of wooden sticks. It was the Guan family’s children who had made this request so that they could make candied haws when they had hawthorn in the future.
There were ready-made sticks that Ye Lulu could use.
Ye Lulu washed the radish, potatoes, cabbage leaves, and fresh mushrooms clean in a few moves. She skinned the radish and potatoes, picked up the knife, pressed the radish on the chopping board, and cut them.
Some people liked to eat thin slices, but Ye Lulu felt that it was especially satisfying to eat a large piece of cooked radish, so she was used to chopping it that way.
The potatoes would be cut into thin slices and the cabbage leaves would not be too big.
Then, she picked up the sticks and started to skewer the white radish. The juicy and fresh radish was skewed with a bamboo skewer. There were a few small pieces of radish on the skewer. She made six to seven skewers.
Following that, there were potato slices, cabbage leaves, and mushrooms…
The two types of balls were also skewered. After preparing all the ingredients, Ye Lulu started to stir-fry. That was right—what Ye Lulu wanted to try was skewers!
