After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 222 Eating without wiping mouth

Shen Nanzhi took a bite of the oil-tang cake. The soft, glutinous and sweet taste made her squint her eyes in satisfaction. "It's so delicious. I haven't eaten this kind of thing for a long time."

Niu Debao ran in with a group of children. Shen Nanzhi subconsciously hid, but unfortunately she was discovered. "Sister Nanzhi, what delicious food did you eat?"

Shen Nanzhi shook his head: "I didn't eat it, you saw it wrong."

Niu Debao pointed at the corner of her mouth and said, "Wipe the corner of your mouth first. Sister Nanzhi, if you eat without wiping your mouth, your nose will grow longer if you lie."

Shen Nanzhi smiled awkwardly and took it out to show him: "It's oily cake. I just wanted to take a bite, but you caught me. You are all little greedy cats."

Niu Debao's eyes sparkled, his stomach growled, but he shook his head: "I'm not greedy, I don't want to eat, Sister Nanzhi can eat it yourself."

Shen Nanzhi smiled. What she said was really inconsistent. Her stomach was growling, but she said she didn't want to eat?

However, Shen Huai'en only bought two, which was not enough for so many children. Shen Nanzhi deliberately said, "Don't be greedy. I was thinking of making some for you. Forget it."

Niu Xiaoli and the other girls immediately ran over and acted coquettishly: "Sister Nanzhi, we want to eat, can you cook it?"

"Yes, come and help, we'll have fried oil cake for dinner."

Shen Nanzhi really knows how to make this. She also liked to eat it when she was a child in her previous life. Her mother would make it for her when she was free. It was also indispensable during the Chinese New Year, so she was quite familiar with making it.

But at that time, her mother was afraid that the oil would burn her, so she asked her to stay away and do it herself.

Shen Nanzhi can help with kneading the dough and wrapping the oil and sugar cakes, and she is very familiar with the methods.

Xu Li walked out of the kitchen and said helplessly, "You guys are such a fool. The oil-sugar cake is made with oil and brown sugar, which is really a waste of ingredients. How could you pester your sister Nan Zhi to make this?"

She felt embarrassed because her three children were present.

Although she married Chen Hu, she did not give birth to any children for him and had three burdens. Xu Li still felt inferior in her heart and could not stand up straight.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't get over this matter. It was a deeply rooted thought, and she had to figure it out on her own.

Perhaps after giving birth to a son, she would feel more confident. In the minds of ancient women, offspring were her credit and her confidence.

Shen Nanzhi: "This is Shen Huai'en's fault. He only bought two. Who will eat them? I punish you to help with the cooking. There is strength in numbers. Let's do it outside. Sister Xu, make dinner lighter to avoid indigestion."

Shen Huai'en nodded: "Okay, I'll help you."

The dough for the oily sugar cake is boiled white flour so that it will be soft. Then it is wrapped with brown sugar mixed with some flour. The most important thing is how to wrap it without leaking out the sugar and make it look good when fried, which tests your skills.

It’s just like making dumplings, some of them look very nice, like gold ingots, while others are crooked and cracked, with the fillings exposed, and in the end they are cooked into a pot of noodle soup.

There were so many people, and Shen Nanzhi was always generous, so he used ten kilograms of white flour, two kilograms of brown sugar, and ten kilograms of soybean oil for frying. Xu Li felt very distressed when she saw it.

The dough was boiled and brown sugar was mixed with the white flour. Shen Nanzhi pinched the dough and gave everyone a demonstration, allowing the children to join in and make dumplings.

After all, girls are more dexterous and careful than boys. After several experiments, they were able to wrap the dumplings well. But the boys were not so good as you could see the brown sugar sticking out.

Xu Li couldn't bear it any longer: "Let me do it, so they don't ruin the good stuff."

"It's okay. The most important thing is to participate. Boys can make dumplings well if they practice more. You have to believe in them. Oh, Huai En, I didn't expect you to make dumplings so well. Let's make dumplings tomorrow. You are so skillful, you can do it too."

There were dumplings in this era as well, but they were called jiao'er, which got its name from the fact that they looked like ears. They were usually eaten during the Chinese New Year, similar to the previous life.

Shen Huai'en kept working, and a round and perfect sugar cake was made. He nodded and said, "Okay, we'll have dumplings tomorrow. What kind of filling do you want?"

"It should be mostly meat filling and a small half with vegetable filling. I like the egg and chive filling the best."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Xu Li looked at the two of them. They didn't look like master and servant. Instead, they looked like a couple, and they looked like a married couple.

"Debao, light the fire."

After Shen Nanzhi finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing. Thinking of the internet celebrity Sister Yu in his previous life, there was a popular joke about her.

"okay."

Debao was most happy to light the fire, heat the oil in a pan, and the children gathered around, waiting to eat the oil cake.

Some of the wrappers were not wrapped properly and the sugar would leak out, and the oil that popped out could burn people, so Shen Nanzhi put a layer of tarpaulin near the oil pan, which was safer.

The plump, golden fried cakes were placed under a curtain made of sorghum stalks. The children were drooling with greed. After they cooled down a little, they couldn't wait to eat them.

This thing is high in calories and the package is quite large. After they eat two, they are not allowed to eat any more to prevent indigestion.

I sent some to Shen Qingshan and also gave some to familiar neighbors. It was already late at night when I finished. I really worked hard just to have a taste of delicious food.

Shen Huai'en waited for her to enter the house, followed her in, and said, "Mr. Yuan will come back tomorrow and bring officials from the county government workshop with him. They will come to help draw the blueprints, make budgets, and build the academy."

"The county government workshop?"

Shen Huai'en explained: "The positions of officials in the county government are the same as those in the six ministries of the imperial court, but the one that manages the buildings is called the Gongfang, which is separate from the six ministries, but their responsibilities are the same.

Winter is coming soon, and the Ministry of Works is not busy, so I asked the county magistrate to send them here, and we can pay them, and they are very happy. "

There aren't many opportunities to make extra money. We stay at home in the winter, so take this opportunity to make some money so that we can relax during the New Year.

Not to mention that Shen Huai'en gave a lot, the people in the other five rooms were envious and wanted to follow suit.

"You even invited people from the county government. That's very thoughtful. I'm actually doing this now..."

But after all, she is not as professional as others. In her previous life, Shen Nanzhi was also involved in the real estate industry. After all, it was very profitable. It’s just that she didn’t need to do the measurements and drawings herself, as her subordinates would do it.

Shen Huai'en said: "You are busy with a lot of things, let them do this little thing."

"alright."

Shen Nanzhi was enjoying her leisure time. Thinking of Master Ning Wu's abnormal behavior, she complained to Shen Huai'en, "Do you think he is sick? Show me his property? I want to take it away. It's all ill-gotten gains anyway."

Shen Huai'en analyzed it for her: "The key lies in what Uncle Yang said to him. If he has another way out, there is no need to beg you."

"Oh, what? I think I should ask."

"Yes, indeed we should. We cannot let our guard down until the enemy is completely defeated. Leave this matter to me. You should have a good rest."

"Well, Huai En is really capable. I am so lucky to have you."
