After several busy hours, the bread oven was finally finished.
About half a person high, the oven was quite large, shaped like a teddy bear’s head and looking very adorable.
Looking at her own handiwork, Ni Yang nodded with satisfaction, casually picking up a twig and writing ‘Summer of 1983’ on the soft teddy bear head.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Guobao took the twig and added a line beside it, ‘Sister and Guobao’, and drew two simple little figures as well.
Compared to Ni Yang’s spirited handwriting, Yang Guobao’s was clearly more childlike but not ugly at all, it had its own unique beauty.
After the bread oven was completed, the next step was to remove the padding inside and then start testing the oven.
Taking advantage of the gap while lighting the fire, Ni Yang brought out the flour she had prepared to rise in advance, kneaded it into balls and shaped it into loaves.
About an hour later, Ni Yang extinguished the fire in the oven, scooped out the ashes with a shovel, and after cleaning, carefully put the newly made bread in and closed the small door.
Next was the step of baking the bread.
“Sister, will we really be able to eat bread in a while?” Yang Guobao, standing on tiptoe, asked curiously.
“Of course we can.” Ni Yang curled her lips slightly.
In fact, the principle of a bread oven is the same as an oven; it’s even more handy.
“So how much longer do we have to wait before we can eat the bread?”Yang Guobao was still standing on tiptoe, watching the bread oven without blinking, his eyes full of anticipation.
Ni Yang, patting his head with a smile, said “Don’t be in a rush, it’ll probably takes about 40 minutes.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Guobao immediately ran into the house saying, “Then
1 will go check what time it is now.”
While waiting for the bread to bake, Ni Yang began preparing dinner.
Ni Yang washed two ears of corn, planning to cook corn porridge for dinner to eat with the baked bread.
Although corn doesn’t contain much protein, it has plenty of carbohydrates and dietary fibers that can promote bowel movement, can dilate blood vessels to guard against hypertension and delay aging, and can nourish the skin.
After rinsing the corn and rice, she put both in the casserole with water to boil, and soon a fragrant aroma filled the air.
While the porridge was simmering, Ni Yang prepared three small dishes.
Sliced cucumber, stir-fried egg with chili and fried shrimp with green peas.
Cucumber, known as refreshing vegetable, not only has a delicious taste but also effectively beautifies and helps in losing weight.
Don’t underestimate eggs, they can nourish the skin and blood in addition to their heat-relieving effects.
Chili can eliminate the problem of overnight food, improve appetite, ward off bad luck, and eliminate various fishy smells and poison.
And as for fried shrimp with green peas, there is no need to mention, it helps in breast enhancement.
Breasts.
The second most important part of a woman’s body.
In order to make meals more effective, Ni Yang made a special beauty food combination recipe, every meal combined very well.
Ni Yang as usual prepared a medicinal soup for Ni Cuihua, Yang Guobao was watching the fire in the stove while she went to deliver the medicinal soup to Ni Cuihua.
Through half a month of diet therapy and medicinal therapy, Ni Cuihua’s condition has significantly improved.
Her originally pale complexion has become lighter, wrinkles around her eyes slowly disappeared and she looks much more energetic.
“Mom, first drink the medicine. When Auntie Ni comes back, we can start the meal.” Ni Yang handed the bowl in her hand to Ni Cuihua.
Ni Cuihua took the bowl, curiously asked: “I just heard a lot of noise in the yard, what are you doing?”
Ni Yang mysteriously said, “We made something good, wait till dinner time, then you will know.”
Ni Cuihua laughed helplessly, “You…”
After coming out of Ni Cuihua’s room, Ni Yan and Yang Guobao went together to fetch bread from the oven.
Yang Guobao, holding a plate and with a face full of excitement, followed behind Ni Yan. He sniffed like a kitten,”Sister, I think I can already smell something delicious.”
Ni Yan smiled faintly, “Really?”
Yang Guobao nodded frantically, “Really, really.”
Upon reaching the oven, Ni Yan opened its little door. Immediately, a scent of milk pounced upon them. Inside the oven were a dozen golden-baked bread, and the fragrance was emanating from these pieces.
“Wow, so beautiful!” Yang Guobao couldn’t help exclaiming, “Sister, you are really amazing!”
The bread crust was crispy and scrumptious, and the inside was incomparably soft. Taking a bite, it tasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a lingering milk fragance in his mouth, as if his entire life had been elevated.
Yang Guobao praised incessantly, “So delicious, really so delicious! I’ve never tasted such delicious bread before.”
“If it’s good, eat more.” Ni Yan handed Yang Guobao another piece.
When it was dinner time, both Ni Chengui and Ni Cuihua were flabbergasted.
None of them could believe that this beautiful bread was made by Ni Yan.
Ni Yan explained with a smile that it was baked in the outdoor bread oven.
Ni Chengui exclaimed in shock, “Bread oven? The strange furnace outside?”
Ni Yan nodded, “Yes, that one.”
Ni Cuihua had a sudden realization, “No wonder I said there was such a commotion in the yard this afternoon. You were fixing that bread oven?”
“Yes.” Ni Yan said with a smile.
Ni Chengui was staggered, quickly grabbed Ni Yan’s hand and asked with amazement, “You made the bread oven by yourself?”
“Yes.” Ni Yan nodded slightly.
Ni Chengui, clutching Ni Yan’s hand, exclaimed, “Yangyang, you are so capable! Tell me, is there anything in this world that you can’t do?” Ni Yan’s hands were delicate and soft, white as jade. No one would believe that the owner of these hands would do all sorts of heavy work, unless they saw it for themselves.
Ni Yan laughed and said, “Aunt Cuihua, there are so many things in this world that I can’t do.” She was just doing what she knew how to.
Eating crispy and soft bread, sipping sweet corn porridge, and having a few delicious side dishes, life seemed to have reached its pinnacle.
Meal times became the most anticipated moments for Ni Cuihua and Ni Chengui each day.
The next day, Ni Yan continued to set up her stall to sell noodles as usual.
It was still Li Gongcheng who was first in line in the morning, “Three bowls of noodles, two to go.”
Ni Yan took the money handed over by Li Gongcheng, glanced at him, she had a deep impression of this customer. Not only was he the first in line ever morning, but he also always took two portions to go, come rain or shine.
What Ni Yan didn’t know was that the old lady of the Mo Family had been completely obsessed with the pickled fish noodles. She felt uneasy if she didn’t have two bowls a day. If the noodles could be kept for a long time, she would’ve wished to have them for every meal.
The Mo Family was very grateful for the pickled fish noodles.
If it weren’t for these pickled fish noodles, who knows what might’ve happened to the old lady by now.
The morning customers were still plentiful, and the long queue never seemed to shorten.
Zhu Yonghong’s buns were still selling at six for a cent, and although the business wasn’t doing particularly well, her mood was excellent in the morning. She hummed tunes and sneak peeks towards Ni Yan’s direction every now and then.
Wait and see, little bitch, after this morning, no one will compete with her for business ever again!
Thinking of this, a smug smile tugged at the corner of Zhu Yonghong’s mouth….
