A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 212: After dinner, eat melon

Song Ning and Zhou Ru came to the kitchen. Chen Laoer's wife had already prepared and washed the ingredients. She took a quick look at the ingredients they bought and nodded, "Not bad, very good. Was this big bone a gift from the stall owner?"

"Yes, ma'am. The stall owner saw that we bought a lot, so he gave us two big bones. There's not much meat on them, so they're not worth much."

"This big bone is really good. It's delicious when used to make soup!"

"Okay!" Chen Laoer's wife wiped her hands on her apron and said, "Madam, Miss Zhou, it's stuffy in this kitchen, so let me do it. Just tell me what to do and I'll do it." It doesn't make sense for servants to sit idle and let their masters cook.

"It's okay. You can just watch from the side and see how I do it. I'll let you do it next time."

"Okay, then I'll help you and watch the fire."

Song Ning said, "Wash a pot, chop the big bones and put them in the pot to stew the soup. It will take some time to stew the soup."

"okay."

Chen Laoer's wife did as instructed, lit the stove, cleaned the pot, added water, and put in the chopped large bones. Fresh large bones do not need to be blanched, just wash them.

Song Ning did not prepare the other ingredients herself. She left the hard work such as cutting meat and chopping ribs to Chen Laoer's wife.

Chen Laoer's wife is a woman with quick hands and feet. All the ingredients are prepared according to Song Ning's requirements, and she only needs to cook at the end.

It's different with servants. He doesn't have to do anything himself. Song Ning suddenly feels like a hands-off boss who comes to experience life.

Although Chen Laoer's wife is a pretty good cook, she has never had any good ingredients before, and the seasonings she has used are very simple.

At this moment, she was watching Song Ning cooking and realized that one ingredient could be used to make so many different dishes. What she did before seemed like a joke.

She thought back to the day when she first arrived at the house, and she said in front of her master that her cooking was pretty good. Now thinking about it, she wondered if she had some misunderstanding about cooking. If what she did was called good, then what should the master's cooking be called?

"Madam's cooking skills are really good! This dish is delicious and beautiful. It's so beautiful that I don't want to eat it."

"That's right, I think so too." Zhou Ru agreed greatly, "This is called, color, fragrance and taste."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say." Song Ning couldn't help laughing, took off her apron and said, "Okay, take out the dishes, and prepare to eat."

Song Ning divided all the dishes into two portions and asked Chen Laoer's wife to bring one part to the dining room in the main house, and leave the other part for them.

They would definitely feel uncomfortable if everyone eats together. Besides, with a guest like Zhou Ru here, it would be inappropriate to not distinguish between the highest and the lowest. It would be better to let them set up a table outside the kitchen so that several people can sit together at one table, which would be more lively.

After lunch, Zhou Ru finally felt interested in visiting the house, and she took Song Ning for a walk around the house.

"This house isn't as big as yours, and the scenery in the yard isn't as good as yours."

The house wasn't very big, and it didn't take much time to walk around it.

Zhou Ru walked around and was satisfied. The carriage that came to pick her up was waiting outside the mansion. She said goodbye to Song Ning and invited him to visit the manor in three days, saying that the lotus in the lotus pond on the manor was in full bloom and it was a good time to enjoy the lotus.

Song Ning knew about the lotus pond, but the last time he went there, there were not many flower buds. Now, they are in full bloom.

It was so beautiful just to imagine it, and Song Ning readily agreed.

Zhou Ru smiled and said, "Sister Song, it's settled then. I'll pick you up in three days."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

After seeing Zhou Ru off, Song Ning returned to the yard and saw Yangyang and Xiaobao playing together, while Mudun was standing alone, staring at one place.

Song Ning followed his line of sight and saw Shuisheng hammering at a pile of wood. Those wood materials were brought out from his home this morning. However, there was nothing unusual about Shuisheng being a carpenter. Why was Mudun staring at him?

"Mudun, why are you staring at your brother?"

Mu Dun was thinking about something, and was startled by Song Ning's sudden response.

"What are you thinking about? You're so lost in thought."

"Aunt, I have something to tell you." Mu Dun motioned Song Ning to squat down mysteriously, and he leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

After hearing this, Song Ning was surprised, "Oh? Is it true?"

"Aunt, it's true. Last time, Sister Xianghuan called my elder brother an idiot, and my elder brother blushed." Mu Dun told Song Ning about some of the things he observed last time. That was when they went to the dental clinic, and she asked Zhou Ru to send some water and snacks to the two brothers.

Xianghuan was assigned by Zhou Ru to go outside and invite the two brothers to her house. Xianghuan also thoughtfully served them snacks and tea, and talked and joked with them.

However, Mudun noticed at that time that Shuisheng was only busy drinking water and eating snacks the whole time, and he didn't even dare to glance at the girl. He would only hum when the girl asked him a question, and if the girl ignored him, he would remain silent like a mute.

"And just now, Sister Xianghuan was watching big brother working and even passed things to him!" Mudun felt really disappointed when he thought of his big brother's stiff look just now. "Sister Xianghuan was talking to him the whole time, but he just kept humming and couldn't even say a nice word. No wonder Sister Xianghuan called him a fool."

"I see he stays with wood every day, so I might as well marry a piece of wood as my sister-in-law."

"Hey, Mudun, are you already worrying about your big brother's life?" Song Ning patted his head. "He's a smart kid. He's so worried at such a young age!"

If Mu Dun hadn't told her now, Song Ning really wouldn't have noticed that there was such a secret between Shuisheng and Xianghuan! This is a big melon, and she has to eat melon carefully in the future.

Shuisheng was tired from working, so he stopped to rest for a while, and saw the aunt and Mudun squatting together, mumbling something. Shuisheng always felt that what they were mumbling about might have something to do with him, because they looked at him with a strange look from time to time.

"Auntie, Mudun, why are you looking at me like that?"

Song Ning and Mu Dun gave him a big smile in tacit understanding, and said in unison: "It's nothing, just continue." But that smile seemed a little ambiguous.

Shuisheng touched the back of his head, confused, and really didn't understand what they meant.
