I just hope Liu Yan won’t let him down again.

Lu Jingchuan went to pick up the two children from school, and Shen Li was in the kitchen preparing to make durian mille-feuille cake.

Shen Li found a transparent glass bowl and cracked five free-range eggs sent by the villagers into the bowl. The egg yolks of these eggs were different from those of the eggs laid by the chickens raised with high technology. The yolks were particularly orange, as if they had a layer of warm-toned filter, and the egg whites were also transparent and clear. The nutritional value of such free-range eggs laid by hens that were not raised with feed and technology was richer, and of course the taste was better too.

Although the two children don’t look so thin now, they are still in a long-term period and they really need to supplement their nutrition.

Shen Li sprinkled in some flour and a little sugar. There were no egg beaters in that era, so Shen Li could only use chopsticks to mix the eggs, flour and sugar evenly. Soon, the glass bowl turned into a light golden liquid. Shen Li poured half a box of milk into the bowl and stirred all the liquid evenly. She found a small filter net and filtered all the liquid. After the light golden liquid became more and more delicate, Shen Li prepared a small flat pan. First, she turned on the fire to heat the small flat pan. After the bottom of the pan became hotter, Shen Li poured the liquid in the bowl evenly into the small pot, spreading a thin layer of light yellow liquid.

During this process, the small pot should be shaken constantly to ensure that the layer of light yellow liquid is heated evenly and does not stick to the pot.

As the pot boils, the liquid will gradually turn into a thin layer of light golden dough.

There is a faint milky aroma in the air, which is very tempting and whets your appetite.

Just like that, the first durian thousand-layer dough is ready.

Shen Li continued to do this step by step, turning all the liquid in the bowl into thin, transparent, smooth and shiny small pancake skins. These small pancake skins exuded the tempting aroma of milk and the sweet aroma of cooked eggs.

There were two pieces of durian pulp peeled by the children in the refrigerator. Shen Li took them out and put them in a small bowl. After cleaning them with a stone mortar used for crushing garlic, she began to crush the durian pulp until it was all pressed into durian pulp paste.

Shen Liya's durian was very delicate, and soon the bowl was filled with a light golden layer of durian flesh. The fragrance of durian filled the air and filled the entire kitchen.

Shen Li spread out the small pieces of dough on a plate, then scooped out some durian pulp from the bowl and spread it evenly on the dough.

Shen Li took out some cream from the refrigerator.

In this age of material scarcity, cream was extremely rare and expensive, costing five dollars just a little bit.

In this era, 5 yuan is a considerable expense.

Shen Li spread a little cream on the spread durian pulp, then covered it with a piece of dough, and then spread durian, prepared mango puree, and cream on it in turn. Layer after layer of thin crust was mixed with fresh and natural durian pulp and mango pulp cream, and stacked together layer by layer. In this way, the durian thousand-layer cake was ready.

Shen Li used a knife to cut the durian lasagna into four large pieces. From the side, the thin, soft and tender light golden crust was filled with mango jam and durian jam. There was so much durian filling that it almost fell off like melted chocolate.

Shen Li walked towards the kitchen carrying the finished durian mille-feuille.

At this time, Lu Jingchuan held the hands of the two children on the left and right and went home.

On the way, Lu Jingchuan was stopped by Narcissus, a sister-in-law from the island, and asked, "Jingchuan, what delicious food did your wife cook? It smells so good! My child is going to cry because of it!"

"Last time, my sister-in-law gave us a rabbit, and my wife cooked it into rabbit meat." Lu Jingchuan said.

"Ah? This rabbit head can be made so fragrant!" Narcissus only knows how to steam or cook rabbit heads and dip them in prepared sauces, or stew them. She was very curious about how such fragrant rabbit meat was made.

"Sister-in-law, have you had dinner? If not, come to my house and eat together, and bring Qiangqiang with you." Lu Jingchuan said politely.

"We've already eaten." Narcissus smiled awkwardly.

What does it matter if she passed by the newlyweds who were so affectionate?

She doesn't want to be a light bulb.

"When I have time, I will go to your house to ask Sister Li how she made such delicious food," Narcissus said with a smile, "Please don't think I'm bothering you then."

"We are all neighbors on the island, that won't happen." After Lu Jingchuan said a few polite words, he took the two children home.

Before they reached the door of their house, they smelled an enticing fragrance.

The aroma not only has the flavor of spicy sauce and meat, but also the tempting fresh and sweet aroma of milk and eggs, as well as the refreshing aroma of mango and durian pulp.

The moment they pushed open the door, the rich aroma of braised rabbit meat hit them in the face.

Her big eyes, like black grapes, lit up immediately. She pursed her lips and swallowed, and the saliva at the corners of her mouth almost flowed out.

"Mom!" Duoduo broke free from Lu Jingchuan's hand and ran towards the room with her short legs.

"Mom, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good!" Duoduo's soft voice sounded.

"It's on the table." Shen Li was washing her hands in the kitchen. "Duoduo, come wash your hands and come over to eat with us."

Lu Minghui walked quickly into the kitchen and saw the durian mille-feuille cake on the table. It turned out that the tempting aroma came not only from the braised rabbit meat, but also from the durian-filled cake made by his mother.

The surface of the cake is covered with golden durian flesh, and sweet cream is sandwiched between the layers of crust.

Duoduo and Minghui were attracted by the exquisite cake. It was the first time they had seen such a cake.

In the past, let alone a thousand-layer cake, they had never even eaten a cake with thick cream sandwiched between two slices of bread.

Duoduo couldn't help but stretch out her hand, wanting to taste the delicious cake immediately.

Shen Li looked at the greedy look of the children and said with a smile: "Go wash your hands, little greedy cats!"

Duoduo and Minghui quickly washed their hands and sat obediently at the dining table.

They picked up the spoon, gently scooped a piece of cake and put it into their mouths. The crust on the surface was very fragrant and soft.

The cake has a delicate and soft texture, and the sweetness of the durian and mango flesh and the mellowness of the cream blend in the mouth, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.

Duoduo had never eaten such delicious food before. Her big dark and bright eyes lit up: "Mom, it's so good! So good!!"

She ate the cake with her cheeks puffed out like a greedy little squirrel. Her little mouth was covered with white cream, making her look like a greedy little cat.

Shen Li smiled slightly after hearing this. She picked up a tissue and gently wiped the cream off Xiao Duoduo's lips. "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Wife, this plate of rabbit heads is enough for everyone to eat. You don't need to make this cake. Don't work too hard." Lu Jingchuan was reluctant to let her suffer.

"This cake is very simple. I'll teach you how to make it when I have time. Once you learn how, you can make it for the children, and then I can free my hands." Shen Li sat opposite Lu Jingchuan and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

Lu Minghui picked up his unused chopsticks, picked up a piece of spicy rabbit meat, and placed it in the small bowl in front of Shen Li. He said in a very low voice, "You eat too."

He called out "Mom" thousands of times in his heart, but he didn't dare say it out loud, for fear that Shen Li would dislike him.

"Thank you Minghui." Shen Li chuckled.

This child knows to pick up food for her on his own initiative.

He appears to be quiet on the surface, but he is very caring in his heart.

Shen Li picked up the chopsticks and ate a piece of rabbit meat that Minghui had picked up. She put it in her mouth and tasted it. It tasted fresh, spicy but not too spicy. It had a crispy and numb aftertaste. The rabbit meat was very soft and tender, with very fresh texture. The aroma of the sauce filled her mouth.

It’s really good and makes people very appetizing.

Shen Li felt that she could eat three steamed buns.

Seeing Shen Li eating the food he had picked for her, Minghui's dark eyes lit up as if sparks had been ignited. Realizing that Shen Li was looking at him, Qu Minghui immediately lowered his head and an unnatural blush appeared on his face, and even his earlobes turned a little redder.

Shen Li understood why this child was so thin-skinned and blushed easily.

There were some steamed buns and corn-soaked bread in the big bowl on the table. Shen Li took a corn-soaked bread and took a bite.

Seeing this scene, Minghui's dark eyes were a little complicated. He used the chopsticks that he had used to pick up food for Shen Li to pick up the largest and softest white steamed bun and handed it to the bowl in front of Shen Li, "Eat this."

Mom must be reluctant to eat the big white steamed buns, so she forced herself to eat wo wo buns.

The mother selflessly dedicated herself to the whole family. She was busy doing scientific research all day long, and also had to take care of the family, take care of him and his sister, cook the most delicious meals for the whole family, buy him and his sister beautiful clothes and shoes, and give them so much pocket money that they could never spend. She gave them the best of everything, and even gave them the best meals.

At this moment, Minghui's eyes turned red and became a little moist.

Shen Li looked at the big white steamed bun in front of her with some surprise, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm.

"Minghui, you eat by yourself, I'll just eat the steamed buns." Shen Li said softly.

"No, you eat it." Minghui insisted on putting the steamed bun into Shen Li's bowl.

Mom is too thin, she needs to compensate and supplement her nutrition.

At this moment, Lu Minghui felt extremely guilty.

Mom is so good to them, but he is just an ungrateful person without conscience.

When her mother first arrived on the island, she was wary of her and was not very friendly to her. She was also worried that her mother would poison him and his sister, so she refused to call her mother and did not even stand up to speak for her when Li Cuicui slandered her.

But after going through all this, his mother did not hate him. Instead, she still took good care of him, cooked delicious food for him every day, and gave him the best food...Since his mother came to the island, he and his sister have gained several pounds. They are no longer skinny and small. They have some flesh on their bodies and look healthier.

Especially my younger sister, who was originally very introverted and never willing to speak. But since my mother came, she has become much more outgoing, talks a lot, and has become lively and cheerful.

All these are changes brought about by my mother, all these are the result of my mother’s efforts.

"Mom, just eat. Don't force yourself." Lu Minghui's voice was sour. The tip of his nose was red, his eye sockets were also red, and his dark eyes were a little moist.

"Just eat white steamed buns, Lili. It's not like our family can't afford it." Lu Jingchuan frowned and looked at Shen Li with heartache, "You don't have to be so sensible."

Shen Li understood that in the eyes of Lu Minghui and Lu Jingchuan, eating steamed buns made of whole grains was a kind of injustice to herself. They felt that this kind of steamed buns were rough and unpalatable, and not as fragrant, soft and sweet as steamed buns.

But in fact, corn steamed bread is the same as steamed bread, both of which are carbohydrates. Corn steamed bread is high-quality carbohydrates, which is good for controlling blood sugar. Shen Li felt that she had eaten mango and durian recently, and was worried that she would get fat, so she chose to eat corn steamed bread to control the calories. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the father and son...

Besides, what did Minghui call me just now?

"Minghui, what did you call me just now?" Shen Li looked at him in surprise and asked expectantly.

Originally, Lu Minghui was reluctant to speak, but now...

Lu Minghui's dark eyes were moist, and he choked with tears, "Mom."

This time, the sound was louder than the first time.

Duoduo, who was standing by, also handed Shen Li a big steamed bun, "Mom, it's better to have a steamed bun than a steamed bun."

Shen Li felt like crying but had no tears. They were giving her the image of a miserable stepmother.

But she couldn't let them down, so Shen Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'll eat it."

"Minghui, you called me mom." Shen Li looked at him with her dark and watery almond eyes.

"Yeah." Lu Minghui lowered his head. He used to think that his mother didn't like him calling her like that, and that his mother didn't like him. But now he realized that his mother didn't hate him. In fact, his mother was very happy.

Lu Minghui raised his eyes and looked at Shen Li. When he met those soft and bright eyes, his heart began to beat fast.

"Mom is very happy." Shen Li smiled with her lips curved.

Lu Minghui secretly vowed that he would study hard and grow up to be a useful person to the society. He would make a lot of money so that his mother could live the life of a rich lady and no longer have to live frugally and eat steamed corn bread.

Shen Li didn't know that her behavior of eating steamed buns had such a great impact on Lu Minghui.

……

After the meal, Lu Jingchuan gave Shen Li seven hundred yuan.

"Why are you giving me so much money?" Shen Li asked in surprise.

"I received my salary today. The rest is that the organization gave me one month's salary for Jiang Guoqiang. After all, Lao Liu still owes you three hundred yuan." Lu Jingchuan said in a deep voice.

"Oh, then I'll take it." Shen Li smiled, "After I save up some more money, I want to open a bank account and deposit it in the bank."

"Sure, you can spend the money however you want." Lu Jingchuan pinched her little face and looked at her solemnly, "Be nice to yourself in the future. You have to love yourself first, then love others, understand?"

"Actually, I really like eating wo wo buns. Eating steamed buns will make you fat, but eating wo wo buns can help you lose weight." Shen Li said in a soft voice.

"You're so thin now, are you still going to lose weight? If you lose more weight, you'll become a dried-up person, right?" Lu Jingchuan rubbed her head and said helplessly.

Shen Li smiled helplessly.

Her quality of life on the island is so good that she is worried that she will get fat if she continues eating like this.

-

During this period, Shen Li devoted most of her time and energy to the research and development of seafood vehicles.

After testing, the seafood vehicle's freshness preservation endurance has been continuously enhanced.

In early July, the first live seafood transport vehicle developed by Shen Li was successfully launched!

On that day, many reporters carrying cameras came to the island and gathered in the workshop excitedly.
