Transmigration: The Peasant Gourmet Chef (穿越之农妇食娘)

Chapter 8 - Noodles (2)

When the noodles entered his mouth, Zhang Tieshan paused. There was a hint of surprise that flashed in his eyes. After a few breaths, he chewed it and swallowed it slowly.

Zhang Qingshan looked at his brother's actions and admired him very much. His thinking was too simple, but his brother thought about it carefully. He only thought that it was a good thing and let Shulin eat it, but he never thought that there might be something wrong with it, let alone trying it first. If there was a problem, it would hurt Shulin.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qingshan felt a little guilty. He reached out and took the chopsticks in his brother's hand, and also put some noodles into his mouth. He wanted to give it Shulin, so he couldn't let his brother try the poison alone.

As a result, as soon as the noodles entered his mouth, his eyes widened involuntarily. He quickly chewed the contents in his mouth and said while eating, "Who made this? Isn't this just ordinary noodles? How can it be so delicious? It's even better than the ones sold in town."

Zhang Lin was curious when his youngest son said that. She hurriedly taste it and she was also surprised. She didn't expect that an ordinary bowl of plain noodles will be so delicious.

Zhang Tieshan did not speak.

After a while, seeing that there was nothing wrong, Zhang Tieshan picked up a chopstick of noodles and handed it to Shulin's mouth, "Shulin, open your mouth and eat some noodles."

Shulin's eyes moved. He stared at the noodles for a while, and finally opened his mouth.

Zhang Tieshan fed Shulin slowly until all the noodles in the bowl were eaten.

Zhang Qingshan looked a little surprised, "Brother, Shulin actually finished a bowl of noodles? He has never been able to eat so much before."

Surprised also flashed in Zhang Tieshan's eyes.

When he came back, Shulin has already become like this. He can't eat anything. Whenever he is being fed a little, he will immediately vomits. It's been a little better these days, but he doesn't eat much. When they take him to see the doctor, the doctor only said that this is a disease caused by long-term hunger. Drinking medicine will not cure the root cause. This made him unable to sleep because of worry. But now, Shulin ate a bowl of noodles. How could he not be surprised?

Could it be Shulin...

Zhang Tieshan once again glanced in the direction of the woodshed. An inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, which made people unable to understand.

At this moment, Li Hehua didn't know what was going on outside. She just finished the noodles quietly and heard the movement outside. She knew that the Zhang family was still outside so she didn't want to go out. She waited until they left before going to the kitchen to wash dishes.

Just after eating, Li Hehua could not lie down and rest immediately. She stood up and did yoga slowly. It could speed up the weight loss while digesting. (T/N: not sure if this is true.)

It's just that her body is too fat now, and yoga is very difficult for her. Many movements that were easy in the past are now difficult to do. She can't even lift a leg, and a single bending motion makes her tired enough. So after a set of actions, Li Hehua was sweating profusely. It was as if she had just been fished out of the water. Her body was too tired to move.

Li Hehua was so tired that she slumped on the bed, gasping for breath. She looked down at the flesh on her body, and clenched her fists heavily. She still has to persevere, she muredreduce her weight.

It was already dark outside. Li Hehua could vaguely hear the sound of cooking in the kitchen, and then the sound of a family eating. After a long time, the sound outside gradually disappeared, and everything became quiet.

Li Hehua quietly opened the door of the woodshed when it was really quiet outside. She then took the bowl and went to the kitchen. She washed the tableware and chopsticks under the moonlight. She then quietly burned a pot of water and brought it into the woodshed. She cleaned herself up, changed her clothes, and then I lay down comfortably.

She planned to get up tomorrow morning before everyone else, make some steamed buns as a meal for the day. This way, she would not encounter other people and also solve her daily meal problem.

After thinking about it, Li Hehua went to sleep.

The next day, just as the chickens were crowing, Li Hehua opened her eyes and remembered her plan. She sat up even she's still sleepy. After getting dressed, she took the flour that she bought into the kitchen and started making steamed buns.

Making steamed buns are very simple, and they will be ready in no time. Just put them in the pot and steam them. She is about to put the steamed buns in the steamer when she saw leeks in a basket. Her eyes lit up. She couldn't help thinking about the child in her mind.

It should be fine to use a little bit of leeks secretly, right? Just a little is enough. She wants to make some fried dumplings for the child. He is really weak and needs something delicious.

But what if someone else found out? Wouldn't they be upset if they learned that she was stealing from their house?

Li Hehua was entangle. She knew it was better not to do extra things, but for some reason, she just wanted to make something delicious for the child. Maybe it was out of the guilt that she didn't want to admit. Although she is not the real one, she is now Li Hehua.

In the end, Li Hehua secretly used a small handful of leeks in the basket. She chopped them into stuffing, seasoned them with some seasonings, then finally wrapped them in the dough. She fried them in a pan, and a bowl of fried dumplings was ready.

After taking one and tasting it, Li Hehua was very satisfied. She covered the rest with a bowl and put it on the stove, waiting for the little baby to eat it.

She knew that this would definitely make other people suspicious, but she didn't want to pretend to be anonymous. She just wanted to be nice to the child. She has nothing now and she can only to make him something to eat. It's impossible to give it secretly every time. Let everyone know it when they know it. She didn't want to say anything nice. (T/N: I think what she meant here is that she didn't want to please other by saying that she's doing a good thing.)

Thinking about it, Li Hehua picked up the steamed buns and went back to the woodshed. As soon as she turned around, she saw a tall figure standing at the door of the kitchen, looking at her. She is so frightened that she almost dropped the bowl.
