Chapter 142 Steamed Egg Custard

Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng read for a while, and when it got light, Xu Qingmeng got up.

When Gu Yunyi saw that Xu Qingmeng had gotten up, he got up and followed her to the kitchen to help.

Fang Ziheng then took Xiao Yuanbao inside to find Hui Niang.

in the kitchen.

"Is there anything you'd like to eat for breakfast?" Xu Qingmeng turned to look at Gu Yunyi.

"Pumpkin porridge, millet porridge, rice water, or noodles?"

"Do you have any mung beans? How about we make some mung bean soup? It'll be hot in the morning, and you can have a bowl. It sounds very refreshing. You can have some too, but don't drink too much," Gu Yunyi said.

"Alright, but you can only drink it for a few days. After a while, you can't drink it cold anymore, or you'll get an upset stomach and it won't affect your exam."

Xu Qingmeng complied, scooped out half a bowl of mung beans, and said.

"Yes, I know. I was just thinking that since you're pregnant, you might feel hot, so you can drink some later."

He said with a smile, then squatted down and took out two more cucumbers: "Let's make a cucumber salad. There are some leftover steamed buns from last night. Heat up a few, and breakfast will be ready."

Xu Qingmeng nodded, then quickly peeled the cucumber. A knife flew through her hands, and the cucumber was soon chopped.

Gu Yunyi had already lit a bundle of firewood and started a fire.

Below the large pot was mung bean soup, and on top of it was a steamer filled with steamed buns.

Xu Qingxing dreamed that Gu Yunyi still needed to study and that the baby in her belly also needed nutrition, so she ate four more eggs.

After the egg mixture was stirred, it was filtered through cheesecloth and placed in two separate bowls.

I put another lid on top, then put it in the steamer, covered the pot, and then just waited quietly.

"Why are there four bowls?" Gu Yunyi asked, puzzled.

"There's another bowl for Little Yuanbao."

Four bowls of steamed egg custard, one for Gu Yunyi, one for Zhou Yuanjia, and one for her. Zhou Yuanjia is a big man who never goes into the kitchen; expecting him to cook for himself would probably lead to starvation.

Before they came, Aunt Zhou had specifically come to say that if they could stay together, she would trouble Xu Qingmeng and the others to take care of them.

The money for the meal was also given to Xu Qingmeng. It was just a matter of adding an extra set of chopsticks and bowls during the meal, not ordering any other dishes, so Xu Qingmeng agreed.

Besides, Zhou Yuanjia's father was also Xun Ge'er's master.

There was only one other bowl because the little gold ingot was really cute, and Xu Qingmeng liked it very much. It was just a matter of adding an extra egg.

Xu Qingmeng had just finished mixing the cucumber when she saw Hui Niang smiling broadly, her face beaming with joy.

"Good morning, Madam Gu."

"Morning!"

"Hmm, are you still cooking?"

"No, I've already prepared everything. Sister-in-law, you can have it. Oh, by the way, I steamed an egg custard for Xiaoyuanbao."

Xu Qingmeng handed the mixed cucumber to Gu Yunyi, and then lifted the lid of the large pot, revealing that the steamed buns and egg custard inside were ready.

"That's so embarrassing," Hui Niang said shyly.

"It's just a kid!" Gu Yunyi called out from the yard, carrying a bowl of cucumber salad. Zhou Yuanjia had already gotten up by then.

He was reading a book inside when he heard the noise and immediately came out.

The food in the steamer had all been taken out and placed in a basket by Xu Qingmeng.

The mung bean soup had already been served in a soup bowl and placed aside.

Zhou Yuanjia was carrying a soup bowl when Gu Yunyi called him back in and took the basket out.

Xu Qingmeng then followed behind and took a few small bowls out.

Fang Ziheng knew that Gu Yunyi and the others were about to have breakfast, so he greeted them and was about to carry Xiao Yuanbao out of the main room.

"Brother Fang, I steamed some egg custard for Yuanbao. Hold him and feed him."

"That's not good."

Before Xu Qingmeng could say anything more, she heard Xiao Yuanbao open his mouth wide and call out, "Auntie... Auntie..."

Xu Qingmeng looked at him: "Oh, is Yuanbao calling me?"

Fang Ziheng was also very surprised, but he quickly rubbed his head and said, "This little guy is quite clever. He heard that you made steamed egg custard for him. Normally, it's harder than climbing to heaven to get him to speak, but now he can call you 'auntie'."

The little guy seemed unhappy about his dad rubbing his head, waving his chubby little arms as if trying to brush his dad's arm away.

That little dumpling face was still puffed up with anger, looking like a little devil despite its small size.

Although Yuanbao doesn't usually speak much, he is, after all, a four-year-old child and has some maturity.

"Come in and have some, Yuanbao!" He then walked into the house and said with a smile, "Yuanbao is so cute."

Zhou Yuanjia had already started eating. With one bite, a third of the steamed bun was gone. He casually said, "Sister-in-law, you should be giving birth in a few months, right? Then Yun Sheng and Yun Mo can take care of the baby. Wouldn't that be great?"

“Baby, little brother… little sister…” Yuanbao suddenly blurted out again.

Everyone was completely bewildered, but only Xu Qingmeng understood, because she knew that she was carrying twins.

Fang Ziheng understood and said with a smile, "Yuanbao means that Madam Gu is carrying both a younger sister and a younger brother."

Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia couldn't help but laugh after hearing Fang Ziheng's explanation.

Xu Qingmeng found Yuanbao to be a very interesting and clever child. She subconsciously touched her belly, her eyes full of affection.

Gu Yunyi glanced at Xu Qingmeng. He had heard that children's predictions were usually very accurate, so it seemed that bringing her to see the traditional Chinese medicine doctor was definitely the right decision.

Xu Qingmeng then looked at Zhou Yuanjia, who was busy with his things, and asked, "Young Master Zhou, you're a bit older than Yun Yi. When are you going to get married?"

Zhou Yuanjia suddenly felt that the steamed bun in his hand no longer tasted good. Then, as if he had thought of something, he started grinning foolishly again.

Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi exchanged a glance, as if they had figured something out, and asked, "Whose daughter has our young master Zhou taken a fancy to? He's smiling so sweetly."

"Ahem, no, no, let's eat quickly." Zhou Yuanjia blushed and said shyly.

"Delicious..." Yuanbao mumbled, and everyone was instantly drawn to him, no longer paying attention to Zhou Yuanjia. Zhou Yuanjia breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuanbao was sitting on Fang Ziheng's lap, eating delicious steamed egg custard spoonful by spoonful, his mouth full of food, looking very cute.

Fang Ziheng carefully wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Yuanbao, eat slowly."
