Chapter 104 Food

Once the meat sauce was cooked, I quickly put it in a large bowl and stored it in my spatial storage, along with the rice I had just eaten.

Then I quickly stir-fried the three kinds of fillings I had just prepared, and then rolled out all the dough I had just kneaded into large sheets.

Once it's wrapped, it feels like one big bun is bigger than a fist, the kind that can fill you up.

With over 70 kilograms of flour, Yunxi felt quite accomplished, having spent more than two hours wrapping it all up.

The steaming process started when the first batch was being steamed, so by the time Yunxi had finished wrapping all the buns, the earlier ones were already edible.

Yunxi felt that the flour, which originally weighed more than 70 kilograms, suddenly seemed to have increased in size after fermentation.

It can be said that one pound of flour, after being fermented with water and sourdough, becomes about one pound and two ounces.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

It looks like a lot, but because Yunxi's buns are particularly large, one pound of flour can only make about ten buns, so there are only about 700 buns in total.

More than 700 is already a lot. I feel like if I ate steamed buns every day at noon, I could eat them for two years.

Of course, I can't possibly eat steamed buns every day; this is just an analogy.

After all the buns were wrapped, Yunxi quickly tidied up the stove.

Once steamed, store the steamed food in a large bowl. If it hasn't been steamed yet, leave it aside for now, as steaming is definitely slower than cooking it yourself.

Taking advantage of this time, Yunxi took out the rice and meat sauce she had just eaten and prepared to start making rice balls.

Each one is slightly larger than a fist, enough to finish off one in one go.

At first, I might have been a little clumsy, but the more I did it, the faster I became. I could make my rice balls before the steamed buns were even done.

Looking at the remaining meat sauce, and remembering that I had a few canning jars at home, I went to find them and washed them again.

They simply put the meat sauce into canning jars, leaving one jar out and putting the rest away.

I just keep it for my own consumption when I'm out. I figured with all that oil in it, it shouldn't spoil that easily, right?

If it breaks, I'll feel it's a real shame, since I used so many good things.

When the steamed buns were ready, we could hear Xia Gong's loudspeaker outside.

After a busy afternoon, I was covered in the smell of cooking oil, and even though I felt hungry, I didn't want to eat and just couldn't bring myself to eat.

I felt like I smelled greasy all over, but I was also hungry, so I thought I should eat something light and refreshing.

I closed my eyes and searched through my space, finally finding the kudzu root powder that I had put into my space a few days ago.

I just heard that this stuff is pretty good. I've kept it for a while now and haven't had a chance to try it. I'm going to give it a shot today and see if it's really that good.

He took out the whole bag from his spatial storage, scooped out two spoonfuls with a rice bowl, and put the rest back into his spatial storage.

I poured some cooled boiled water into the bowl and gently stirred it with a spoon. I originally intended to just pour boiling water over it.

But I was wondering if it would be too bland?

Then he took out some white sugar from his spatial storage, added a little sugar to the mixture, and waited for the sugar to dissolve before adding boiling water.

Soon you'll see that what was originally a bowl of white water becomes increasingly clear and translucent the more you stir it after adding boiling water.

Yunxi felt that even if it didn't taste good, she would accept it because of its beautiful appearance.

But once you put them in your mouth, you realize they didn't disappoint; they were indeed incredibly delicious and had a very smooth texture.

However, after eating it, Yunxi felt that the white sugar wasn't quite perfect. She remembered that honey was particularly smooth and creamy, and thought that it would be better if honey was used instead.

It seems that if I ever have the chance to go deep into the mountains and forests someday, I must try to get some.

Sugar was especially hard to buy in this era. I was lucky to have met a big boss; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to buy sugar.

People in the village rarely eat sugar. The only time they can eat sugar is when they find a beehive deep in the mountains and forests, and they just poke it open, and that's when they get sugar to eat.

Keep this in mind, and don't forget it next time you go up the mountain.

You can take some time to look for a beehive.

I finished the whole bowl of kudzu root powder. It felt like I had filled my stomach and suddenly had an appetite.

Suddenly I had an appetite for what I had just made, but since everything I had made was so big, and I had also eaten a bowl of kudzu root powder, I could only choose one to eat.

In the end, she took out a big meat bun, because she felt that meat was what she loved most right now.

I took a big, full bite, and it was incredibly delicious. It felt like every bite was pure meat.

It was definitely the right choice to prepare extra meat; it was absolutely delicious.

Yunxi suddenly realized that she hadn't made enough buns. These buns were so delicious that she could eat them for breakfast in the future. She felt that the few she made would be gone in just a few days.

However, she really didn't want to do anything today. She had been busy on the mountain all morning and in the kitchen all afternoon. She wanted to rest well in the evening.

I can rest at home for another day tomorrow, and I have to go register the day after tomorrow. I wonder if there are fewer students at school this time?

Yunxi felt that this was a normal thing. In Yunxi's memory, ever since she was in the third grade of elementary school, starting from the fourth grade, there would be fewer students enrolled each time school started.

Now that they're in junior high, the number of younger students has increased even more.

Especially nowadays, the preference for sons over daughters is quite serious. For them, it is already very good if the girls in the family can read. How can they let them continue to study?

Anyway, they'll belong to someone else's family when they grow up, so they're simply unwilling to spend that money.

After sitting for a while, Yunxi felt that she had rested enough and prepared to go to her private plot to check on them, water them, and then she wouldn't have to worry about them for a while.

The corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes will be ready for harvest soon, so we don't need to worry about them for now. The most important thing is the radishes and cabbages we plant later; those need more careful attention.
