Liu Cuihua's waist was still hurting, so she entered the kitchen and sat on a stool. Meng Yao took down the steamer that had been turned off and placed it on the stove, and opened the lid.
As soon as I opened the lid of the pot, hot steam hit my face, along with the fragrant smell of steamed buns.
"Yao Yao, you can also steam buns!"
The surprise in Liu Cuihua's eyes became more and more intense.
She always thought that her second daughter-in-law was just like the clumsy eldest daughter, who could only cook well. She didn't expect her to be so good at cooking.
These buns are white and tender, with distinct wrinkles. You can tell at a glance the skill of the person who steamed the buns.
Meng Yao smiled shyly, "How do you like it when you try it later?"
"Look at it and smell it, you're right! It's not like your sister-in-law. Every time she steams the buns, they come out like stone eggs. No matter how many times you teach her, we can't get it right. We Yaoyao are still good at it!"
Meng Yao took the steamed bun frame over and used chopsticks to roll out the steamed steamed bun cloth underneath the steamed buns. The neatly arranged steamed buns rolled onto the grate below one after another.
The steamed white, tender and fluffy buns look particularly delicious.
Meng Yao put the buns into the steamed bun frame one by one. There was another basket under the grate. The steamed buns were as good as the ones on top.
Meng Yao thought about giving Liu Cuihua a taste after letting it cool for a while, but unexpectedly she took one regardless of scalding it.
Meng Yao hurriedly said: "Mom, be careful of the burn!"
"fine!"
Liu Cuihua took the bun and turned it around in her hand a few times before holding it firmly.
She works all year round and has thick calluses on her hands, so she is not afraid of getting burned.
Opening the bun to reveal the dried beans and vermicelli inside, Liu Cuihua saw a smile on her lips.
"You found this good thing that I posted!"
Liu Cuihua likes to eat beans. She grows a lot of them at home. If she can't finish them, she picks them and makes them into dried beans, which can be stored for a long time.
In winter, in addition to cabbage, there are also beans on their dinner table.
Eating too much cabbage and dried beans will really satisfy your cravings.
"During that time, there were so many beans that I couldn't finish them. In addition to drying some, I also made sour beans. Wen Ye and the others followed me and also ate the beans. If I hadn't hidden a jar, I'm afraid
They all ate them up!”
"I originally thought that Boyan would come back and let him take him away, but who knows..."
Who knew that he didn't go home for three whole months.
"Mom, he might..."
Meng Yao just wanted to find some excuse to comfort Liu Cuihua, but she waved her hand and interrupted her unspoken words.
"As a mother, I know the virtues of that brat best. If he doesn't come back, he must have something on his mind that he can't figure out at the moment. There's no need to comfort me, there's no need!"
Meng Yao pulled the corners of his lips and laughed twice, then stopped talking.
Mother-in-law Liu Cuihua was very open-minded.
Liu Cuihua finally stepped forward, took a bite of the buns made by Meng Yao, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it smells good. It tastes much better than the buns I made. Boyan is lucky!"
Meng Yao really liked the previous compliment, but it was the latter sentence, "Blessed Boyan", that made her blink in embarrassment.
"There must be lard in the buns, they are so fragrant!"
Liu Cuihua chewed for a while before identifying it.
Meng Yao immediately gave her a thumbs up, "Mom, you are so awesome, I just put a little bit in and you tasted it!"
The fact is that when Meng Yao saw lard at home, he dug it out without even thinking and refined the oil to make steamed buns. Such steamed buns would be more fragrant.
Meng Yao giggled, pretending to be stupid, afraid that Liu Cuihua would say that she wasted a good thing.
Liu Cuihua couldn't help but reach out and poke Meng Yao's forehead, "You are also dishonest! Okay, just eat it, lard is also for eating!"
