Chapter 192 Shen Fengshou's Mathematical Talent
This pot is so weird.
It's like a round plate, with such shallow edges, aren't you afraid of it leaking?
"Ha, this is called a frying pan, it's used for making pancakes. Shen Qing, help me light the fire and flip the pancakes."
A few little kids learned to read for a while and came over to watch the fun.
Shen Qing sat by the fire, still curious.
"This little stove is really useful. I'll ask my dad to build one when I get home."
Convenient and flexible, can be moved back and forth.
Su Wanwan sat in front of the chopping board, took out the dough, pinched out a piece of dough, and rolled it into a round pancake with a rolling pin.
It’s not really a pancake so much as a dough pancake, it’s just very thin. It’s called a baked bun, which is used to roll vegetables, commonly known as baked bun with vegetables, and is a specialty of her hometown.
She doesn't like steamed buns, so she learned to make baked buns from her grandmother since she was a child.
There is no need to fry the steamed bun in oil. Just spread it directly on the pan, turn it over on both sides, and when big bubbles appear in the middle, it will be cooked in a short while.
After it’s cooked, you can roll it up with various vegetables, especially bean sprouts and shredded potatoes, which are delicious when eaten rolled up.
By the way, potatoes, the potatoes in her space are also ripe.
There is not enough time today, so she has to make some French fries for the kids tomorrow.
Su Wanwan taught Shen Qing twice and she learned how to do it. She lit the fire and turned the steamed buns at the same time. Su Wanwan was only responsible for rolling out the dough.
The small courtyard was filled with the aroma of food. The little ones had no time to concentrate on learning. They just squatted on the side, drooling with greed.
Su Wanwan wrapped sweet potato stems and braised pork in steamed buns and gave one to each person.
"Mom, this baked bun with vegetables is so delicious."
Xiao Yue'er had never eaten it before. She thought the braised pork was delicious with rice, but she didn't expect it to taste even better when sandwiched in this pancake.
"It's delicious, thank you auntie."
The children were very sensible and looked grateful.
These are all white flour cakes and meat.
"It's delicious, but it's expensive. Thank you, sister-in-law."
Shen Qing had just flipped the last pancake when Shen Yunyi ran in from outside the door.
"Hey, what are you eating? It smells so good. You are eating delicious food behind my back."
Xiao Yunyi was all dirty. He had been playing for half a day and was already starving. When he smelled the fragrance, his stomach started growling.
"Oh, brother, you are so dirty, go wash yourself."
Seeing that her brother was so greedy that he wanted to take action directly, Xiao Yue'er immediately stood in front of him.
My mother said that we should pay attention to hygiene.
Shen Yunyi swallowed, looked at his hands, and smiled:
"Hey, sister, I'll just take a look first, I'm going to wash my hands."
After saying that, he quickly ran to the water to wash his face and hands.
Su Wanwan had already rolled one for him. Xiao Yunyi washed his hands and ate the steamed bun with vegetables, feeling extremely satisfied.
"Thank you, mother. It's delicious."
"Where's your father? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Su Wanwan looked at the sky and prepared to call Shen Fengshou to go and shout.
"Dad asked us to eat first. He is measuring the length of the pipe before it gets dark."
Xiao Yunyi took another bite and stopped it immediately.
Seeing this, Su Wanwan said no more and looked at Shen Qing. She understood that the man might feel uncomfortable with the presence of other girls.
She discovered that Shen Yuan didn't seem to talk much to the women in the village, even Shen Qing, his nominal cousin.
On weekdays, when his young wife came to his house to visit him, he would automatically avoid her.
Apart from his aunt, he seemed to be unfamiliar with any other women.
She even suspected that there was not even a female mosquito around him.
"Okay, let's eat first. Shen Qing, let's go get some rice, and you can bring it back for your second brother after we finish eating."
Shen Qing nodded and immediately helped.
Two women and six children sat at a large table.
The baked steamed buns with vegetables received unanimous praise, and the steamed sweet potato leaves and fried sweet potato stalks also made Shen Qing taste the delicious mountain delicacies.
"Sister-in-law, that's great! Sweet potatoes are really good. They taste better than wild vegetables. When the sweet potatoes in our village grow up, we won't have to worry about having no vegetables to eat."
Shen Qing was sincerely happy.
"Well, sweet potato vines can also be fed to pigs, so it's not a waste."
The children were a little reserved at first, but gradually they were attracted by the food. However, it was obvious that they were well-mannered. After eating a bowl of rice, they obviously wanted another bowl but did not dare to ask for another one.
Su Wanwan prepared a little more for Shen Heng and asked Shen Qing and the children to take it back.
After they left, Shen Zhao suddenly said:
"Sister-in-law, I think Fengshou has a talent for math. If you teach us, he will be able to do it after I teach him once. His math is very accurate."
Shen Zhao was cleaning up the dishes while chatting about family matters.
Shen Fengshou is one year younger than him. Although they are not of the same generation, they grew up together. Shen Fengshou is usually very dull, but he was unexpectedly so fast in arithmetic.
Faster than him. When his sister-in-law taught him, it took him two days to figure it out.
"Really? What did you teach him?"
Su Wanwan was so busy today that she didn't notice Shen Zhao teaching the children math.
"I found teaching them to read a little boring, so I taught them some numbers. I thought arithmetic would be more useful. At least if they go out to sell things, they won't be cheated or have trouble calculating. So I taught them arithmetic. Today, I taught them the numbers within 10, as well as addition and subtraction."
"Fengnian and his friends only learned the numbers, but Fengshou quickly mastered addition and subtraction. I tested him on several questions and he got them all right. Do you think he is very talented?"
Shen Zhao answered truthfully.
Su Wanwan's eyes lit up.
In just a short while, he learned addition and subtraction within 10. He is truly a child prodigy!
Although Shen Fengshou is already 11 years old, he has never been exposed to this before. It takes several days to teach him modern addition and subtraction within ten.
"Then he is indeed quite talented. How about this, ask him tomorrow if he is willing to learn. If he is willing, come here every day and I will teach you together. It doesn't take much time, just half an hour a day will be enough."
Su Wanwan thought about it and realized that she taught Shen Zhao and the others every day anyway. If they were willing to learn during a good harvest year, it would just be a matter of having a few more students.
"There are also Fengnian Datao and others. Anyone who wants to come can come and learn."
Shen Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Really? Sister-in-law is willing to teach them? Can Da Tao and Er Ni learn too?"
"Why not? Teaching one person is the same as teaching a group. Learning arithmetic will only benefit you. Girls should learn it more. This way, you can also teach them a few more words every day."
Shen Zhao agreed happily. This was a great thing.
My sister-in-law is so nice.
It is said that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. He will definitely study hard, pass the imperial examinations in the future, and be filial to his sister-in-law.
Shen Yuan came back just in time to see this scene.
"What are you talking about? You look so happy."
When Shen Zhao saw his elder brother coming back, he immediately chased his sister-in-law out.
"Sister-in-law, big brother is back. Please tell him and I will heat up the food for him."
