Chapter 2
Children's skin is quite delicate, and the rim of a broken bowl is very sharp. Xu Qingmeng noticed that the cut was quite deep.
Yunmo gritted his teeth and didn't utter a single cry. Xu Qingmeng felt pain just watching him and her heart ached terribly.
"Okay, go play with your little sister, but make sure she doesn't get wet, okay?"
Yunmo glanced at Xu Qingmeng secretly, then nodded, "Mm."
Although the original owner never mistreated them during her marriage, she was spoiled by her family and became greedy and selfish, always thinking only of herself.
She had always treated the two children coldly, so this sudden change to gentleness was naturally difficult for the children to adjust to.
Xu Qingmeng finished tidying up, took Yunmo's hand and walked out, while Yun Sheng was still in the kitchen.
Although Xu Qingmeng said she would cook for them, Yun Sheng didn't quite believe her. After all, Xu Qingmeng only cared about herself and never cared about others. She never even asked about her brother. All she did every day was eat and sleep.
Xu Qingmeng went to the kitchen and saw a little girl standing on a small stool, adding water to a pot.
"What would you like to eat for lunch, Yun Sheng?" Xu Qingmeng asked gently.
Yun Sheng looked conflicted, wanting to speak but not daring to. Her mother had told them to eat the osmanthus cake in the cupboard if they were hungry before she left. No sooner had her mother left than her sister-in-law ate all the osmanthus cake.
Yun Sheng gave Xu Qingmeng a resentful look.
Xu Qingmeng did not understand the resentful look in Xiao Yunsheng's eyes.
She stepped forward and picked up Xiao Yunsheng.
"Go out and play with your brother for a while. Your sister-in-law will cook for you."
Xiao Yunsheng still couldn't quite believe it. Seeing her brother Yunmo standing there blankly, she thought for a moment and then walked over.
Xu Qingmeng ignored them, cleaned up the broken bowls, and started cooking.
The Gu family originally ran a food shop, and the kitchen was quite large, but the vegetables inside weren't very fresh.
Actually, not only were the two little ones hungry, but Xu Qingmeng was also very hungry, after all, according to the plot of the book, Xu Qingmeng was carrying twins.
Xu Qingmeng lifted the lid of the flour jar, then scooped a bowl of flour into a large basin, added water, and began kneading the dough. Xu Qingmeng is a well-known food blogger in modern times, so cooking is no challenge for her.
While the dough was rising, Xu Qingmeng looked at the earthen stove in front of her, feeling a little lost, since there was no such stove in modern times.
Seeing Xu Qingmeng's dazed expression, Xiao Yunsheng knew she didn't know how to start a fire, and gave her a look of disgust.
Although he looked disgusted, he sat down by the stove without hesitation.
Looking at Xiao Yunsheng's tiny body sitting there, Xu Qingmeng felt like a heartless boss, exploiting child labor. But for the sake of food, she couldn't care less about that now.
Seeing that someone was starting a fire, Xu Qingmeng turned around, took out the rested dough, placed it on the cutting board, and took out a rolling pin to start rolling it out.
Xu Qingmeng's technique was very skilled; in no time, she had rolled out large dough sheets.
She glanced at Xiao Yunsheng beside her. The little guy's technique was quite skilled, obviously he often did this kind of thing. Such a young child, so sensible. How could the original owner bear to sell these two children?
Once the dough was rolled out, Xu Qingmeng began cutting the noodles. Her knife skills were top-notch; she cut the noodles into thin, even pieces. By the time she finished cutting the noodles, Xiao Yunsheng's water was already boiled.
Xu Qingmeng put the noodles into the pot, then washed some green vegetables and added them in. She started to prepare the soup, simply adding salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, and also chopped some scallions to make three bowls of simple broth.
The water in the pot boiled, and Xu Qingmeng ladled the noodle soup into a bowl. Since the noodles needed to cook a little longer, she added a bowl of cold water. The water boiled again, and the noodles were cooked. Xu Qingmeng then placed the noodles into a bowl of prepared soup, and topped it with some bok choy. Three fragrant bowls of noodles were now ready.
"Yun Sheng, Yun Mo, the noodles are ready, come and eat."
Xu Qingmeng brought the noodles to the table and let the two little ones eat.
Yunmo was starving. He took a bite first, and his eyes lit up. Seeing her brother's expression, Xiao Yunsheng quickly started eating in small bites as well, mumbling, "So delicious...so delicious..."
"Sister-in-law is amazing. No wonder you're so fat. It must be because Dad's cooking is bad that my sister and I are so thin."
Xiao Yunmo said this while eating noodles in big mouthfuls.
Xu Qingmeng was speechless. Oh well, children say the darndest things. What can you do when the original owner of this body is so fat?
Xu Qingmeng noticed that the two men were looking at her much more kindly, and then she smiled.
Xu Qingmeng, a moderately famous food blogger, experienced a pot explosion during a live broadcast due to her assistant's mistake. When she woke up, she found herself in a novel she had read, the character Xu Qingmeng.
Xu Qingmeng transmigrated to the present day after she drugged the original owner of the body. At this time, Madam He was unaware of what had happened at home. Because she was not good at cooking and Gu Hongxin had passed away, and the family needed money, she could only go out to wash clothes for wealthy families, usually for two days at a time.
Mrs. He has no plans to sell the shop yet, after all, it's the only thing her husband left her. If the shop is gone, her longing for her husband will also be gone.
But things are different now. She's here, and she feels that she doesn't need to sell anymore; she can open this food stall.
The two children were quite young; each ate a small bowl of noodles and was full. Looking at their sister-in-law, they didn't seem so unpleasant anymore.
Xu Qingmeng glanced at the leftovers in the kitchen, thinking that He Shi would be fired by her employer soon and would be returning hungry. She looked around the house and saw that the only edible vegetables they had were gone, leaving only two potatoes and a cabbage.
She thought for a moment and decided that for He Shi herself, a stir-fried shredded potato with hot and sour sauce and a stir-fried cabbage would be enough. For the main course, the noodles that hadn't been cooked yet would suffice.
Xu Qingmeng washed and peeled the potatoes. With her superb knife skills, she cut the potato shreds into fine and even pieces. The knife seemed to fly through her hands like a flower. Soon, she had arranged the ingredients on a plate.
Xiao Yunsheng stared wide-eyed. Although her sister-in-law was quite plump, she looked beautiful when she cooked and was very good at chopping vegetables. She was much better than her father, who had run a food shop for over ten years.
"Sister-in-law, haven't we already eaten? Why do we need to cook again?"
Although Xiao Yunsheng's tummy was full, her eyes and mouth were still open, and she subconsciously swallowed again.
Xu Qingmeng watched as Xiao Yunsheng swallowed, and answered with a smile.
"Mom will be back soon, and she probably hasn't eaten yet, so I made this for her."
"Oh? Mother usually comes back at night, not at noon."
Xiao Yunsheng had a big question mark on her forehead, but she still gave an affirmative answer.
Xu Qingmeng couldn't explain it to the little guy, so she could only change the subject, "Yun Sheng, can you teach your sister-in-law how to start a fire?"
Xiao Yunsheng was quickly moved and happily replied,
"Of course you can!"
