After returning from the orphanage, Li An’an brought the three little ones to buy groceries. Chu Yichen had given her a week off as she lied that she had to attend to funeral matters, so she planned to make a few new dishes this week and put them online.
Oh right, she should try the crab shell loofah soup that she had made for Chu Yichen previously! After all, most of her dishes were home-cooked dishes. Most of them were targeted at economical housewives. Since Chu Yichen liked the soup so much, it probably tasted good! It was worth promoting.
“Mommy, look, there’s your favorite wild onion pickled vegetables!” Li Baobao walked up to a stall where a white-haired granny was selling her home-made pickled vegetables.
The old granny was very happy to see the three cute children and smiled. Li An’an squatted down. “Granny, how much are you selling this for?”
The old granny was hard of hearing, so she had to listen several times before she understood clearly. “Ten yuan for half a kilo. I dug these wild onions up in the mountains myself and marinated them in a jar for half a year. You can make soup with it. It’s very sour and appetizing!”
Li An’an held some in her hand and took a whiff. There was a strong aged fragrance. This kind of pickled vegetables were best when marinated by these old folks. “I’ll have a kilo of this!”
The granny had been selling here for two hours. Because of the small size of the stall, and that she only sold a few types of goods, business was poor. She was very happy that Li An’an asked for a kilogram of it. She hurriedly reached for her old-fashioned scale to weigh out the item.
Li An’an took out a small camera from her bag and started filming. She could use it as material for the video. She felt that she couldn’t just film the kitchen. She had to include scenes of daily life.
She squatted on the ground and filmed the old granny’s face that was full of vicissitudes but authentic nevertheless, her wrinkled hands, and the pickled vegetables.
After paying for her purchase, Li An’an bade farewell to the granny with the three kids. Then, she continued to stroll around the market, mainly filming scenes of daily life.
The three little guys were tired out by the time they got home. Li An’an turned on the recording function and started cooking. She put on some makeup, wore her home clothes, and began to introduce the dishes she had cooked today in front of the camera.
Initially, she had wanted to make crab shell loofah soup, but decided on sour wild onion soup instead! But she didn’t just make soup. She also made exquisite noodles to eat with the soup.
She was very skillful. She mixed spinach juice and dragon fruit juice with flour, to make cute little rabbit and piglet buns!
Finally, she washed the pot clean and added oil. When the oil was hot, she put it in boiling water. Then, she added the pickled wild onion and a little salt.
When the soup boiled, she brought it down to a simmer and stewed it slowly. When the onions inside were completely dispersed, she poured the soup into a bowl. The soup was clear and had a fragrance that whetted one’s appetite. After the recording was done, the three babies woke up from their afternoon nap.
“Mommy, the buns smell so good!”
Li An’an put the camera away and brought bowls and chopsticks for the three children to eat.
“Mommy, I like the piggies.” Li Baobao liked to eat meat, but there was no meat today. She ate away happily nevertheless because the buns made by her mommy were soft and delicious.
Li Jùnjùn and Junjun each took a little tiger bun and ate it in big mouthfuls. Then, they took a sip of the soup that their mommy made. It was perfect.
Li An’an said nervously, “Babies, eat slowly. If you like it, Mommy can make more for you tomorrow! Mommy doesn’t have to go to work these few days.” Hearing this, the three little guys slowed down.
Li An’an also picked up a bun and took a bite. She ate the dried soybean meat filling and then took a sip of the soup that she had meticulously brewed.
Sure enough, they tasted great!
After dinner, Li An’an started to edit the video and uploaded it online. Recently, the number of her fans had been increasing.. She had to seize the opportunity to make everyone fall in love with her!
