Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

As soon as Zhang Shu said that there was a new way to eat it, everyone became interested and asked him how he did it.

But Zhang Shu betrayed Guanzi, and only said that he would know when he made it.He asked Li Mujin to wash some autumn potatoes for him, then boiled the water and put the whole autumn potatoes in to cook.

Is this any different from how it was eaten before?Li Mujin looked at Zhang Shu suspiciously, but Zhang Shu only smiled mysteriously at him.

Taking advantage of the time when the autumn potatoes were cooking, Zhang Shu went to the side of the backyard and plucked two shallots.The backyard of the Zhang family is larger than the front yard. There are a lot of miscellaneous things planted here, and things that are generally not used are piled here, and the entrance to the cellar is also here.

He just squatted in the backyard and picked up the roots and yellow leaves of shallots, and then took them to the front yard to wash them.Li Mujin was still in the kitchen, seeing him come in with a few shallots, put them on the cutting board and cut them into chopped green onions, she thought to herself, is the new way to eat autumn potatoes dipped in sauce?Otherwise, what about chopped green onions?

After the autumn potato was cooked, Zhang Shu fished it out and drained it, and then, together with Li Mujin, peeled off its skin.

The smooth autumn potatoes were lined up on the cutting board one by one. Zhang Shu picked up the big kitchen knife at home and pressed it down sideways. The steamed soft and glutinous autumn potatoes were crushed into mud.

"Jin'er, go scoop up a spoonful of flour."

Li Mujin took a small basin and put some flour out, "Ashu, is it enough?"

"Enough, bring it here."

He took the flour basin, poured some water into it, poured a ladle of water into it, and the flour inside instantly turned into a paste.

"Did I add too much water? Shall I go get some more flour?" Look at it so watery, I can't do anything well.

"No, look at me." Zhang Shu used a kitchen knife to mix the paste on the cutting board into the flour, then cracked two eggs into it, put chopped green onion and salt, and stirred with chopsticks.

After adding the paste, the flour dries a lot, and there is a fragrance coming out when it smells.Zhang Shu heated up the pot, then poured some oil into it, and then kneaded the contents of the pot into a small cake shape with his hands, and put it in the oil pot for frying.

The oil was very hot, and as soon as the pancakes entered the pan, beautiful oil flowers appeared around them, sizzling in the pan.After one side was fried golden and crispy, Zhang Shu turned it over with chopsticks and continued frying.

There was a burnt smell, which was even more enticing than the one baked in the morning. Li Muzhen always felt that he was not particularly greedy, and at this time, a lot of saliva came out of his mouth.

Zhang Shu put the fried one on a plate to dry, and then used chopsticks to hold it to Li Muzhen's mouth, "Taste it, is it delicious?"

Li Mujin is a big mouthful, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The taste of chopped green onion is more fragrant after deep-fried. Although there are no other seasonings in it except salt, it is good to eat!

After eating in one bite, he took another bite, and then pushed the chopsticks to the edge of Zhang Shu's mouth, "You eat too!" Zhang Shu stuffed the rest into his mouth together, and also thought it was very delicious.

"We're about to fry the rest together, and then take it out for grandma to taste." Without waiting for Zhang Shu to do it, Li Mujin pushed him away to do it by himself, anyway, he had just learned it.

Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang also found it delicious. They are old and tasteless, and they love this kind of fragrant food the most.But Zhang Shu didn't let them eat more just out of the pan, fearing that they would get angry, so he told them to wait for a while before eating.

The smell of fried potato pancakes wafted from the yard to Laiwang's house. His son Dabao swallowed greedily when he smelled it.

But he has always been well-behaved, and he doesn't cry like other children. He just moved a small bench and sat under the wall of his yard, basking in the sun and smelling the fragrance nearby.

"Bang bang bang", there was a knock on the door outside the yard, Dabao's grandma and grandma were busy with work, and there was no one in the yard for a while, Dabao looked around, walked over by himself, and pulled the latch on the gate on tiptoe opened.

Seeing someone coming, his eyes lit up, and he called "Uncle!" Then he looked at Li Mujin, and hesitantly called uncle.

Zhang Shu knew him much better, so he reached out and hugged him, "You can't call him uncle anymore, you have to call him uncle, do you know?"

"Uncle!" Dabao pouted his mouth, and called out crisply.He saw the pancake in Li Mujin's hand, it was the smell he just smelled.

"Is your father and father at home?"

"Daddy is behind." Dabao struggled a bit, and after Zhang Shu put him down, he immediately ran to the backyard, shouting as he ran, "Daddy, uncle is here!"

Laiwang was chopping firewood. He wiped his hands and walked out with Dabao in his arms, "Hey, it's Zhang Shu, and brother-in-law, are you coming to our house today?"

Lai Wang's mother and husband also came out when they heard the voice. Li Mujin came to play as Zhang Shu's new husband for the first time. The family wanted to entertain him well, so Lai Wang Fu Lang packed a plate of fried peanuts at home. There are also boiled sweet potatoes, pour a few bowls of tea, and put them in the yard to entertain guests.

Li Mujin also put the plate in his hand on the stone table, "Auntie, Brother Yue, this is a new thing from Ashu Nong. It has been passed down from the city. You should try it too."

Then, he first took a piece and handed it to Dabao who had been watching eagerly. Dabao took a look at his father, and took it after seeing him nodding. Then he said thank you without waiting for his father to ask.

"What a good boy! Brother Yue, you've taught this child really well. He's so polite at such a young age!"

"Where is it? It's very annoying to pester people all day long." He Yue said this, but his expression was completely different.

"Then you let me go home, I don't mind." Li Muzhen teased him with a smile.

"If you want a child, go to your Zhangshu." He Yue approached Li Mujin and whispered in his ear.

Li Mujin felt embarrassed all of a sudden, she lowered her head and took a sip of water to cover herself.

Zhang Shu and Lai Wang sat on the other side chatting about farm work and so on, but they didn't hear what they said at all.Dabao was sitting next to his father, holding the pancake and gnawing on it, with a very happy expression on his face.

After returning from Wang's house, Zhang Shu washed some autumn potatoes and prepared to make cakes. He will return home tomorrow and bring them to his father-in-law's house for them to taste.

The next day, the two went out with a basket on their backs, and when they arrived at Li's house, Li Mujin followed Li's father in, leaving only Zhang Shu sitting in the main room with his father-in-law and brother-in-law face to face.

In fact, the Li family is very relieved that Li Mujin will marry into the Zhang family. The two families live close together, and nothing can escape their eyes. If they think about it, they will arrive in a quarter of an hour. .

But those who should be interrogated still have to interrogate clearly. Knowing is one thing, but hearing it with one's own ears is another.Knowing that Li Muzhen lived happily in Zhang's house, the family felt relieved.

At the dinner table, the Li family ate this pancake and they all said it was delicious.Li Yan even packed the rest, saying that he was going to take it to the mountain to eat.

After dinner, the two walked home.After returning home, I greeted my grandparents first, then went to wash up and went back to the room.

It was still cold in the bed at night in winter, Zhang Shu asked Li Mujin to put his hands and feet on his body, and then stretched out his arms to hug him.

"Jin'er, it's still a month or two before Chinese New Year, and the work in the field is almost done. I reckon, I still need to find some work."

He didn't want to spend Li Mujin's dowry money, and he couldn't ask his grandma for money. There were still two months left, so he couldn't just sit and eat at home.

Li Mujin put her arms around his neck, "Go and do whatever you want, I'll take good care of the house for you."

Zhang Shu suddenly had an idea, "Jin'er, do you want to go with me?"

"Ah?" Li Mujin was confused by his question, "I'll go together, really?" When he recovered, he was happy again.If possible, he would definitely not want to be separated from Zhang Shu.

But Zhang Shu calmed down. If it was a part-time job, he would definitely not take Li Mujin with him. What if he was doing a small business by himself?

"Well, I'll give it a try in the next two days, and if it doesn't work, I'll think of a way." The way is thought up by people, they are still young, and if they lose, they will lose a little strength, and they are not afraid of anything.

"Hmm! I think with you!"

Zhang Shu smiled, put his arms around Li Mujin, it was time to go to bed, anyway, he already had some concerns in his mind.
