Niuniu was washing the dishes while Xu Hui was squatting by the stove watching the potatoes. Because they were hot, Xu Hui was not stupid enough to take them out with her hands. After she found the pincers that held the firewood, she took out the baked potatoes.
Xu Hui looked at the steaming ball in her hand. The surface of the potato had turned black after being roasted. Some parts of it even had a guoba growing on them. Xu Hui pinched it, but fortunately, it felt right and should be edible.
Niuniu washed the dishes quickly, so she was there when Xu Hui took out the potatoes. However, the usually gluttonous Niuniu was not excited at all. Looking at the potato that came out of the fire, she pouted, her eyes full of pity.
Xu Hui, of course, took Niuniu's reaction seriously. She did not explain, but just handed the potatoes to Niuniu and said, ”It's for you to eat, your reward!”
Niuniu only took two steps back. ”How can I eat this? It's so dirty …”
Xu Hui raised her eyebrows and looked at Niuniu but did not say anything. She put another potato under the stove in front of Niuniu and carried a small wooden stool next to the stove. While she was waiting for the potato to be roasted, she tore off the skin on the potato in her hand.
Niuniu also brought a small stool over. This was almost a daily occurrence for both of them, so Xu Hui asked what Niuniu had been practicing today and chatted with her for a while. Niuniu was still young. Other people were not prepared for Niuniu, so many things that Xu Hui did not know about could be learned from her.
At first, the atmosphere between the two of them was very harmonious. However, Xu Hui had already finished half of the potato in her hand. Niuniu could not help but ask Xu Hui, ”Is it delicious?”
Xu Hui winked playfully. ”Delicious.”
Niuniu finally understood what it meant to lift a rock and smash her own feet. Originally, it looked like such a dark mass of food would not taste good, but she did not expect that after peeling it off, it would look good. Adding to that, Xu Hui was enjoying her meal very much, so Niuniu could not sit still anymore.
Xu Hui ignored Niu Niu and pretended that she did not see her and continued to eat the potato without a care in the world. Niuniu came in front of Xu Hui and asked, ”Sister-in-law, can you give me some?”
Xu Hui looked at Niuniu. ”You don't want to eat?” ”I'm regretting it now. I thought it wasn't delicious …”
Xu Hui smiled. It was good that she had fun now and then. Otherwise, she would be bullying the kids.
Xu Hui took out the poker and took out the second potato from under the stove. She told the potato to roll twice on the ground before she squeezed it with her hand. Niuniu had been waiting impatiently for this moment. Xu Hui removed the fire pincer, and Niuniu crouched down to pick it up.
Xu Hui looked at Niuniu who was peeling the potatoes excitedly. She thought she could get some sweet potatoes for roasting next time. She did not know if the family had eaten like this before, but Xu Hui knew Niuniu had definitely eaten before.
Thinking of the sweet sweet sweet potato, Xu Hui was eager to try it out. Every time she cooked a dish that she had never seen before, Xu Hui would always feel the same way, as if she had invented this dish herself. Therefore, Xu Hui had plenty of energy to cook this kind of thing.
