The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

My family has a special liking for braised and spicy flavors, but these spices are always consumed inadvertently, so it is always a good idea to have enough stock.

When everything was ready, Chen Xi returned to everyone and joined the team cleaning the lobsters.

Today we had a good harvest, estimated to be about seven or eight kilograms. Everyone gathered together, even Xiaoyang and Xiaochen were immersed in joy, washing and playing at the same time, and the air was filled with warmth and joy.

The sky gradually darkened, and after some effort, the crayfish was finally cleaned.

Chen Xi gently carried a plate of fresh and lively lobsters and stepped into the warm kitchen full of fireworks again.

The oil was bubbling merrily in the pan.

She carefully put the lobsters into the hot oil in batches. Each one rolled and jumped in the oil until the shell became golden and crispy, while the shrimp meat inside still maintained its attractive firm and elastic texture.

Afterwards, Chen Xi started the pot again, added clear cooking oil, and jumped in minced garlic and ginger slices along with the hot pot base. Instantly, the kitchen was filled with a spicy and delicious aroma.

In order to prepare the dish in one pot and save time and energy, Chen Xi suddenly had an idea and decided to use the one-pot stewing method.

A trickle of clear water slowly flows along the edge of the pot, and then the lid is firmly put on. During the slow stew over low heat, the lobster gradually absorbs the essence of the seasoning, and every inch of the meat is permeated with rich layers of texture.

During this process, outside the kitchen door, Chen Rong and other little guys could no longer suppress their curiosity and kept peeking in from time to time.

When the dishes were almost finished, Chen Xi carefully arranged the tableware and returned to the kitchen for a final taste test.

The familiar and alluring aroma, coupled with the perfect tenderness of the lobster, made her mouth curve with satisfaction.

Afterwards, a pot of fragrant lobster was finally placed ceremoniously on the dining table. Everyone couldn't wait to sit around the table, their eyes full of longing for this delicacy.

As Chen Rong devoured the meal, he praised his sister's cooking skills without hesitation: "Sister, your cooking skills are simply amazing. It must be a blessing from your previous life that my brother-in-law can marry you, right, brother-in-law?"

As he spoke, he winked at Xie Tianyi with a mischievous look on his face.

Xie Tianyi smiled knowingly, secretly admiring this clever brother-in-law who could always skillfully enhance the relationship between him and his wife.

"That's true. It's my greatest luck to have a partner like your sister who is both virtuous and good at cooking." When Xie Tianyi answered, although there was a bit of embarrassment on his face, his eyes were full of happiness.

Chen Xi just smiled without saying anything, concentrating on enjoying the delicious food that he had created with his own hands.

Xiaoyang and Xiaochen, two foodies, were completely immersed in this feast for their taste buds and were oblivious to the teasing at the table.

In a short while, the lobsters were eaten up like a whirlwind, leaving only piles of shrimp shells on the table. The weight of seven or eight pounds was enough to prove this family's love for food and their extraordinary eating ability.

After the meal, Chen Xi collected the shrimp shells. It is said that feeding them to chickens can increase egg production.

When the shrimp shells were poured into the chicken coop, the chickens immediately scrambled for them. It seems that this traditional trick is really effective.

Chen Xi planned silently in his mind, thinking that when his family conditions became better, he should raise more chickens and ducks in case of emergency.

In this way, whether you want to eat fresh poultry or need eggs or duck eggs, you can get them at your fingertips.

But then she realized that food source was a big problem. The current food was only enough to maintain daily needs. If she wanted to expand the scale of breeding, the existing food reserves might be far from enough.

Just as Chen Xi fell into deep thought, thinking about how to solve this problem, the crops that Huahua cultivated in the alien space flashed through his mind, such as golden corn and nutritious sweet potatoes, which were simply natural poultry feed.

She decided to plant more flowers to prepare for the future small-scale family farming business.

Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, Xie Tianyi quietly entered the kitchen, and Chen Xi didn't notice it at all.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? You didn't even notice I came in?" Xie Tianyi said jokingly.

Chen Xi seemed to wake up from a dream, and said with a smile: "I was thinking, should I raise more chickens and ducks, so that it will be more convenient for me to eat at home in the future."

Xie Tianyi was not familiar with this kind of household chores, so he simply said, "You decide, and I'll just eat what's ready."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After dinner, Chen Rong took the initiative to take on the responsibility of washing the dishes and was busy in the kitchen alone.

After Xu Jing returned home, her mind was completely focused on how to get closer to Xie Tianyi, so much so that when her daughter came to play with her, she seemed a little absent-minded.

daughter?

This thought was like a ray of light in the morning light, gently rippling in Xu Jing's heart and instantly lighting up her eyes.

She quickly picked up Qiao'er from her arms and walked towards Xie Tianyi's residence with firm steps.

Aren’t the two lively and mischievous young masters of the Xie family ready-made playmates?

Letting Qiao'er blend in with them undoubtedly paved a way for her to quietly approach Xie Tianyi.

Xu Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself. She really put a lot of effort into expressing the feelings in her heart.

In a blink of an eye, the cool autumn breeze brought the big day when Chen Rong, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen entered school.

As soon as the sky turned pale, Chen Xi got up quietly and began to prepare breakfast busily, ensuring that the children could greet the start of the new semester with full spirits.

The porridge on the table is fragrant and served with golden fried eggs.

After breakfast, three little figures walked out of the house shoulder to shoulder, with their schoolbags bouncing gently on their backs, full of longing.

Chen Xi looked at their backs, feeling reluctant and expectant in his heart, even though Chen Rong insisted on being independent and asked his sister to wait for news of their return at home.

Xiaoyang and Xiaochen were fortunate to be in the same class, while Chen Rong was assigned to the next classroom.

The moment they walked into the classroom, they were pleasantly surprised to find Xiaohua and Xiaoqiang were there too. The four childlike hearts instantly collided to create brilliant sparks, their little hands tightly clasped together, and their laughter filled every corner of the campus like silver bells, carefree, pure and beautiful.

Before this, Chen Xi accidentally learned about the difficulties faced by Carpenter Zhou's family, and a strong sense of kindness surged in his heart.

So, she visited the Hu family in person and proposed to sponsor the Hu family's children to continue their studies. This sudden kindness seemed to nourish the Hu family's dry hearts, especially Xiaohua, whose eyes were flashing with indescribable gratitude and her tears were filled with endless hope.

This grant not only solved the urgent need for tuition fees, but also paved the way for the two siblings to move forward towards their dreams, allowing them to move forward side by side without having to bear heavy pressure.

Bathed in the words of gratitude, Chen Xi felt as if a warm sun was slowly rising in his heart, and every step he took seemed particularly solid and satisfying.

The moment Chen Rong stepped into the classroom, it was as if he had stepped into a cloudy sky and ran head-on into the figure he least wanted to see - Chen Dabao.
