After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Su Lang scooped a spoonful from the bowl. "Here, let you try it first."

Ma Xiaodong actually stretched out his mouth to catch it.

However, Jiang Chengzhou snatched the food from his mouth and ate it first.

Ma Xiaodong looked intently at his mouth. "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Can raw starch taste good?

It tastes like nothing but a paste on the mouth.

Jiang Chengzhou nodded without changing his expression. "Delicious."

Linlin curiously leaned closer, "Brother, I want to try some too."

"Wait a moment, Ma Xiaodong arrived first, let him eat first."

"Good brother! You're a true friend!" Ma Xiaodong looked at Jiang Chengzhou gratefully; this was the first time he had been able to get ahead of Linlin in line.

Lin Zhilan covered her face with her hands, unable to look.

Su Lang suppressed a laugh and scooped another spoonful for Ma Xiaodong.

Ma Xiaodong took the spoon, opened his mouth, and gulped it down.

The raw starch went into his mouth and immediately stuck to his palate. Ma Xiaodong's expression was first one of confusion, then shock. He wanted to vomit but was too embarrassed to do so.

"Su Lang!" Lin Zhilan kicked Su Lang.

Su Lang laughed and patted Ma Xiaodong on the back, "Don't force yourself, just throw up."

Ma Xiaodong then went outside and vomited.

Jiang Chengzhou vomited with him, and after he finished, he patted his shoulder and they went to rinse their mouths under the tap together.

Linlin looked at her two older brothers, puzzled.

Su Lang squatted down, looking directly at her daughter, her eyebrows slightly raised. "How is it? Want to try some?"

Linlin obediently shook her head and hid in her mother's arms.

After rinsing his mouth, Ma Xiaodong walked over to Lin Zhilan and said earnestly, "Aunt Lin, this doesn't taste good either."

Lin Zhilan explained, "This is just raw starch; it's not finished yet. There are still several steps to go through."

Ma Xiaodong nodded, seemingly understanding, "Aunt Lin, what is this made of, starch or something?"

Jiang Chengzhou walked over from the pool and answered first, "Sweet potato."

Ma Xiaodong's eyes lit up. "I have sweet potatoes at home too, can I make it?"

Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "Go back and ask your mother. You can only do it if she agrees."

"OK!"

Without saying a word, Ma Xiaodong turned around and rushed into the rain.

As soon as they got home, Ma Xiaonan and Ma Xiaoxi rushed over, "Brother, what delicious food did Aunt Lin make?"

"It's not done yet, get out of the way."

Ma Xiaodong was in a hurry to go back to his room to find his mother.

Ma Xiaonan and Ma Xiaoxi sighed, lamenting that they had lost at rock-paper-scissors and missed the chance to go to Aunt Lin's house.

The pharmaceutical factory has suspended operations for the past few days.

The factory's employees come from various villages, some of which are so far away that it takes an hour to walk there.

With strong winds and heavy rain, Director Qian, fearing an accident, announced a holiday for everyone.

Liu Chunhua, having nothing to do, was at home sewing shoe soles.

"Mom!" Ma Xiaodong rushed in. "Mom, Aunt Lin's family is making sweet potato noodles. Let's make some too."

Liu Chunhua picked at her ear. "Could you please keep your voice down? You're going deaf."

Ma Xiaodong chuckled, "We still have a lot of sweet potatoes left at home, let's make sweet potato noodles too."

Liu Chunhua frowned. "You're so insensible. Do you know how troublesome it is to make sweet potato starch?"

Their family doesn't have many sweet potatoes; they usually just peel and boil them to eat. Making sweet potato starch is a complicated and time-consuming process, so Liu Chunhua is too lazy to bother.

"If you agree, I'll take care of the rest!"

Liu Chunhua couldn't do anything with her son. "Go talk to your dad. If he's willing to grind sweet potatoes, our family will do it."

"good!"

Ma Xiaodong immediately ran out to find his father.

When Commander Ma heard that he had to grind sweet potatoes, he also thought it was too much trouble.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chunhua came out of the house. "Xiao Dong, if he won't grind it, then we'll grind it ourselves. We won't give it to him."

Commander Ma hurriedly replied, "We'll grind, we'll grind, we didn't say we wouldn't."

Liu Chunhua snorted coldly and stormed into the house.

Since Lin Zhilan's sweet potatoes had already been ground, Commander Ma borrowed the millstone and ground his own sweet potatoes.

Liang Ping listened intently to their commotion and also said he wanted to make sweet potato noodles.

Everyone knows how to make sweet potato noodles, and Wang Xiuzhi thought that this year's sweet potato harvest was plentiful, so she simply went along with it.

The only one who didn't react was Li Xuan. He listened out of curiosity for a bit, then put it down and didn't mention the sweet potato flour at all.

Wang Rou and Aunt Hehua felt it wasn't good for their family to fall behind, so they traded some of their goods with Wang Xiuzhi for 50 jin of sweet potatoes to make sweet potato flour.

So, what was done by one company became done by four.

After grinding and settling, I realized there was no sun in the sky.

Sweet potato starch is prone to turning sour and moldy if it is not dried in the rain.

They quickly went to ask Lin Zhilan and learned that Lin Zhilan had dried the food at home using the residual heat of an oven.

After much difficulty, the four families finished making all the sweet potato starch and started making sweet potato noodles.

The one who is best at this is not Lin Zhilan, but Wang Xiuzhi.

Boil a large pot of water in an earthen stove and a big iron pot. Take a small amount of dry starch, dissolve it in cold water, and then pour boiling water over it while stirring quickly with a wooden stick until it becomes a clear, cooked starch paste.

Then pour sweet potato starch into the cooked starch slurry, add boiling water in several batches, and then repeatedly knead and pound it until it becomes a firm, smooth and non-sticky dough.

This step was quite difficult, and Wang Xiuzhi was eager to do it.

Lin Zhilan and Liu Chunhua pulled her back, saying, "There are two men here. This job requires strength, so it's suitable for them."

Commander Ma glanced at Su Lang, who was focused on her work.

He sighed inwardly, unable to find allies, and continued to pound the dough.

When the dough has reached the right consistency, add a little alum and mix well.

After mixing well, put the dough into a colander.

Commander Ma was responsible for stabilizing the body, while Su Lang used his fists to pound the gourd body at a steady pace.

The rice noodles fell one by one into the boiling water through the round holes of the strainer.

At first, the thickness was a bit uneven, but after Su Lang got used to it, it quickly became uniform.

Once the vermicelli was in the pot and floated to the surface, Wang Xiuzhi finally found something to do: quickly scoop the vermicelli into a basin of cold water to cool it down.

At this moment, Liu Chunhua rolled up his sleeves and said to Lin Zhilan, "Go back, there are too many people here, you might get bumped into later."

Lin Zhilan was also feeling a bit sleepy, so she listened to her and came out of the kitchen.

Wang Rou was on her period these past few days and wasn't feeling well, so she didn't come to help in the kitchen.

She had previously suffered from severe menstrual cramps, and Lin Zhilan prescribed her some medicine.

The pain has subsided, but around this time of year, I still feel weak and listless.

The children sat in the living room playing with pebbles. Lin Zhilan and Wang Rou sat together, the two sisters yawning at each other.

When Su Lang finished his work and came out of the kitchen, Lin Zhilan was already asleep in a chair.

The children automatically went silent and flipped through the comic books that Jiang Chengzhou had given them.

Wang Rou pointed to Lin Zhilan and said softly to Su Lang, "My sister just fell asleep. Why don't you take her to her room to sleep?"

Su Lang nodded and washed his hands at the sink.

Then he walked up to Lin Zhilan, supported her knees with one hand and protected her lower back with the other, and picked her up.

Wang Xiuzhi happened to come out of the kitchen and was confronted by this scene.
