Chapter 182 Just Do What You Like

Shen Lu washed the rice, soaked it first, and then made other ingredients. In order to make the rice grains fully expand and shorten the cooking time, Shen Lu was not in a hurry to get other ingredients.

After washing the rice that needed to be soaked for the longest time, Shen Lu rinsed the dried prunes thoroughly, then washed off the residue, and started soaking. The time required for dried prunes was slightly shorter than that of rice.

Shen Lu peeled off the skin of the taro carefully, then cut each of them into hob pieces of the same size, and put them aside for later use.

Shen Lu poured the filtered water into the pot first, and then started to light the fire. After all, she had no skills to do it all by herself, so she could only hurry up.

When the fire boiled, Shen Lu washed her hands again, and slowly poured the rice soaked in drained water into the pot to prevent it from being scalded by splashing water. Shen Lu was very careful, after all, if her hands were scalded, Not to mention the inconvenience, it was still her that hurt.

After Shen Lu filled the boiler with firewood, kept cooking on high fire, and stirred in the same direction to make the rice grains puffy and sticky.

After a while, when Shen Lu felt that it was about the same, she added taro cubes and continued to stir for a while.

Shen Lu was always paying attention to the fire. At this moment, the firewood in the boiler was almost burned, and it was already a small fire without her having to do it specially.

Shen Lu filled in a handful of firewood, but it wasn't as strong as before. When it was about the same time, she added dried plums and vegetables that had been drained.

Finally, Shen Lu added salt to taste, and then continued to cook on low heat. When the porridge was ready, Shen Lu filled a bowl and put it on a tray for Gu Xicheng to serve.

When Gu Xicheng saw Shen Lu entering the door with porridge, he quickly put down the book, walked over, and took it naturally.

Seeing that there was only one bowl on the tray, Gu Xicheng asked suspiciously: "Why is there only one bowl, sweetie, where's yours?"

Shen Lu smiled and said indifferently: "I haven't filled it yet, so I brought it to you first. I'm afraid you'll be hungry. It's not sweet. I guess you'll like it, so I made more. If it's not enough, just blame me." I'll add more to you."

Gu Xicheng nodded, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little girl, you can eat too, don't be so hungry, I will feel sorry for you even if you are starving."

Shen Lu looked at him tenderly and said, "Okay, I'll go first and come back later."

In fact, Shen Lu didn't cook much, but she didn't do as much as she wanted. To be honest, she really couldn't drink the salty porridge.

Back in the kitchen, I made some for myself, sipped it in small sips, and frowned from time to time, Shen Lu said silently in her heart: "It's not good, it tastes weird."

Gu Xicheng, on the other hand, feels good, I don't know if it's because he really likes the porridge and thinks it tastes good, or because Shen Lu made it specially for him, only he himself knows about it.

After Gu Xicheng finished drinking, he took the bowl and went to the kitchen, seeing Shen Lu still sipping porridge, Gu Xicheng walked towards Shen Lu with a smile.

Seeing him coming in, Shen Lu saw that the bowl was already empty, so she hurriedly put down the bowl, her voice full of joy, and asked Gu Xicheng, "How is it? Is it delicious? Do you like it?"

Gu Xicheng put down the things in his hands, and said softly: "It's delicious, as long as it's made by Xiaoguai, I like it. Why are Xiaoguai so nervous?"

Shen Lu pouted and said, "But I don't think it tastes good, I'm afraid you won't like it either."

Gu Xicheng looked at her tenderly, and said dotingly: "If you don't like it, don't do it next time, just do what you like."

Shen Lu nodded obediently and did not speak any more.
