The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 82: Use Corn Kernels

Shu Yu did as she said. After she finished speaking to Baoya, she went straight to the kitchen.

The others immediately followed curiously. Even the steady Daniu followed while pretending to be nonchalant.

However, the Lu family’s kitchen was small and narrow. The old lady and the others were already inside. If everyone went in, they wouldn’t even be able to turn around.

Shu Yu said to everyone, ‘You guys can sit in the central room for a while. I’ll bring it over when it’s done. It’ll be quick.”

She was saying that, but the children’s resistance to food that was more delicious than sweets was too weak. None of them were willing to leave, so they all stopped outside the kitchen.

Dahu was fast. He entered the kitchen before Shu Yu and said with a straight face, “Second sister, I’ll help you start the fire.”

Sanya was a step slower. She pouted and stomped her feet. How could her brother be like this? He didn’t even let her have the job of lighting the fire.

Shu Yu found it funny. She walked into the kitchen and instantly received the gazes of the others in the kitchen.

Madam Li looked at Shu Yu and then at her daughter at the door. It would have been better if she didn’t make a comparison, but the comparison made her even more upset.

“Erya, what are you doing in the kitchen? Your grandma didn’t let you come, saying you don’t know how to cook. It’s not that I’m being bossy, but girls still need to know how to cook. Otherwise, it’ll be hard for them to get married in the future.”

Although Madam Ruan was timid, she still spoke up unhappily when it came to her daughter, “Erya is very good at cooking. Her food is especially delicious, better than any of us.”

Madam Liang had already returned. She nodded when she heard this, “That’s true. Sanzhu brought a bowl of noodles back and said that Erya cooked it. I’m still craving that taste even now.”

Then, she looked at the old lady, “Mother, why don’t we let Erya be the head chef?”

The old lady did not care about her three daughter-in-law’s infighting. She looked at Shu Yu kindly, “What do you want to do, Erya? Just say it and we’ll do it.

“I want to make some snacks for everyone to try. Grandma, I need some corn kernels.”

Corn kernels?

What kind of snacks can corn kernels make? Dabao and the others outside the kitchen were very disappointed when they heard this.

They had thought that something more delicious than pastries would be made from things like refined flour and pork.

Could corn kernels even make a flower?

Dabao waved his hand, “This is boring. I’m going to eat the chestnuts and peanuts.”

Erniu followed him, “I want some too. Don’t finish it all by yourself.”

“Can I finish such a big pot? I’m not a pig.”

“You are.”

The two went back to the central room noisily.

Shu Yu ignored them and took the corn kernels from the old lady.

They had not started cooking the dishes yet. The Lu family had two stoves. One was currently cooking rice, while the other one was still vacant.

Shu Yu asked Dahu to start the fire and then poured some oil.

Although the few people in the kitchen were working, they were watching Shu Yu i s movements at the same time. When they saw how much oil she poured, they suddenly felt their hearts tighten.

Madam Li muttered, “If you don’t take care of the household, you won’t know how expensive food is. This is too much of a waste.”

After so many days, the old lady and Madam Ruan were used to Shu Yu l s oil consumption. The oil she was using now was only a little more than her previous cooking. It was fine.

After pouring the oil, Shu Yu began to add sugar.

This time, even the old lady and Madam Ruan started to feel heartache. After all, sugar was not cheap.

However, Shu Yu didn’t put too much in. The taste was relatively light. After stirring it a few times, Shu Yu poured the corn kernel into the oil..
