Chapter 152: Can't carry it, really can't carry it!

~7 min read 1,302 words

Shen Man ate slowly. She had been eating the two meat buns for a while and had only finished one.

Just as she was about to hand the other one to the man, it was intercepted by her brother who had suddenly come over—

"Sister, I'm starving, just give it to me to eat."

Lu Xiu Bai reached out and took the oil paper bag from his sister's hand, not feeling that this action was inappropriate at all.

He took a bite—delicious!

The next second, a sharp, cold gaze struck him, but he didn't realize that snatching food from the tiger's mouth would cause his brother-in-law's displeasure.

Jiang Ye's gaze was like a torch, and he said gloomily:

"Brother, since you're here, there's something I need your help with."

"What help? Tell me."

Lu Xiu Bai took another big bite, wolfing down a mouthful of meat, thinking it was delicious.

By the way, this kind of big meat bun with thin skin and large filling was only supplied to the few old leaders in the military by the canteen. Where did his brother-in-law get it?

"There is some glutinous rice at home. I plan to steam it, mash it into a paste, and make deep-fried glutinous rice cakes."

Jiang Ye's expression was natural, as if he were talking about a simple task.

In reality, anyone who has manually mashed glutinous rice knows that this is a purely physical job, and one cannot be lazy at all...

"I thought it was something else. Fine, call me when it's steamed, and I'll help you mash the glutinous rice."

Lu Xiu Bai's clever little brain analyzed the pros and cons. If he mashed it himself, could he borrow the excuse to eat a few more later in the evening?

Glutinous rice cakes can be deep-fried, baked, stir-fried—in short, there are many ways to make them. Just thinking about it made his mouth water.

"It's a deal."

The man's calculating look made Shen Man couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for her brother.

She knew that the man was sometimes very petty...

The Lu Xiu Bai who was smiling so brightly now would be smiling very reluctantly by the afternoon.

"Eighty—"

"Eighty—"

"Eighty—"

Although he didn't know why his sister made him shout this slogan, it must be said that shouting it like this had quite a rhythm.

"Clap, clap, clap~"

The way of making glutinous rice cakes is different in every place. The way Jiang Ye made them was to mash the cooked glutinous rice into a paste with gravity and then shape it by hand.

Whether it's deep-fried or stir-fried with chili later, they are all good staple foods.

Shen Man became the idlest person. The clothes she changed out of yesterday had long since been washed by her man as soon as he got up!

All morning, she took a nap. When she got up, she did fifty sit-ups to exercise her waist and abdomen strength.

She also jogged ten laps around the courtyard, came back, drank a cup of flower tea, and cut a plate of fruit.

And so, seeing her brother sweating profusely, looking at the glutinous rice he was hitting with a wooden mallet with a look of despair, she asked silently:

"Brother, take a break, eat some fruit?"

"No, no, I'll wait for my brother-in-law to make tomato scrambled egg noodles; fruit takes up stomach space."

Lu Xiu Bai shook his head like a rattle. Since when do men like to eat fruit? Men like to eat rice and meat!

Settling for the next best thing, noodles and eggs were also a good choice.

"Fine."

Shen Man curled her lips. Silly brother, she wanted him to rest for a while, but he couldn't understand it at all!

Can't carry it, really can't carry it!

"Meow~"

Master, I want to eat a piece of pineapple.

Tangyuan smelled the fresh fragrance of pineapple and meowed.

Wanted to eat, such a sweet fragrance.

"Come, come, Tangyuan, eat a piece, eat slowly."

Shen Man prepared an exclusive cat bowl for Tangyuan. Every time Tangyuan finished eating, she would wash it clean and hang it on the windowsill to dry.

Now that Tangyuan wanted to eat pineapple, she would naturally satisfy it!

"Meow~"

So sweet, thank you, Master.

Tangyuan licked the pineapple, using its teeth to grind it into a paste bit by bit and swallow it into its stomach.

Cats can appropriately ingest pineapple, which can help cats supplement water, vitamins, trace elements, and other nutrients, which is beneficial to the cat's physical health.

In addition, the cellulose and protease in pineapple can also promote the cat's intestinal peristalsis and promote the cat's intestinal digestion.

Shen Man used a fork to fork a piece of pineapple into her mouth; the taste was sweet and clear, not sour or astringent at all!

She thought, sure enough, cats are the cutest; the world really cannot be without cats!

In the kitchen, the fragrance of tomato scrambled eggs drifted out through the window.

Lu Xiu Bai, who was dizzy from mashing the glutinous rice cakes, smelled the fragrance, and green light appeared in his eyes, and his stomach growled.

No matter how much he looked forward to it, the first bowl of tomato scrambled egg noodles was his sister's!

The second bowl was his!

After washing his hands, Lu Xiu Bai sat on the chair carelessly, not minding the heat, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

Seeing her brother eating noodles in a hurry, Shen Man was really afraid that he would burn himself, so she hurriedly reminded him:

"It's hot, Brother, eat slowly."

In her bowl, half was noodles, half was tomato scrambled eggs, and it was already overflowing.

She had just eaten a bowl of fruit, so how could she finish it?

She was about to take a spoon and divide some into the man's bowl on her left, which clearly had less material.

Lu Xiu Bai paused and consciously slowed down his speed.

Knowing that his sister was caring about him, a big smile appeared on his face—

"I'm used to fighting for food, I really can't change this habit for a while."

"Hmm, it's fine for you two to eat in the canteen in the future, but when eating at home, you still have to eat slowly and chew carefully to nourish your stomach.

Otherwise, when you get old, you'll have regrets."

Shen Man was studying medicine, and when she spoke, she had a strong tone of medical advice.

It's just that her deterrent power was very, very light, almost non-existent.

The two people present were both outstanding among the officers, and this little deterrent power had no effect on them at all.

It was just because Shen Man was their wife and sister that they obeyed her.

"Alright, I'll remember it."

"I know, Sister, I'll try to remember."

Because of this little episode, Jiang Ye didn't make things difficult for his brother-in-law after the meal.

He used a spoon to crush the mashed glutinous rice; it felt about right.

Barely counting his brother-in-law, he passed.

The steps for deep-frying glutinous rice cakes were very simple: 60-70% oil temperature.

Take the glutinous rice paste, shape it into a ball, press it flat, and deep-fry...

"Crackle, crackle."

When the glutinous rice paste touched the oil pan, oil flowers soon exploded.

Shen Man hid far away, watching from the door frame, her delicate little nose sniffing and sniffing—fragrant!

Tangyuan, who had finished licking the pineapple on the table, also smelled the fragrance, groomed its fur, and pawed.

Then it walked with cat steps, sat elegantly at its master's feet, and like its master, outside the door frame, peeked, opened its round eyes wide, and sniffed and sniffed... ===== CHAPTER 153 =====
