The flowering period works

Chapter 387 My Bean Sprout Needs a Blanket!

    

atives' children to school. Seeing that this place wasn't bad, I decided to settle down and earn some money. Who would have thought it would turn out like this" 。Now I have to go back dejected and pay...The old woman smiled wryly, “Not to mention far away, just five years ago, our family was still so poor that we didn’t have enough to eat for half the year. Now suddenly being awarded, from a pauper to a noble, you want me to change immediately Where can I change”

Mrs. Cui also knew this truth. After some thought, she said: “What my aunt said is right, we really have to take it slow. After the festival, the Liu family will be hosting a banquet. At that time, I’ll accompany you there and sit for a while. That way, you’ll get used to it.”

Li Laotai quickly nodded, "Good, I'll take a look at what rich families are like then. In the future, I'll try my best to act fierce!"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Since there are few people at home, the lunch is kept simple, but simple doesn't mean it's not delicious.

Mrs. Cui brought two pork ribs, and Old Mrs. Li chopped half of them off to stew with Chinese cabbage.

Jia Yin wouldn't bear to see these good pork ribs wasted, so she quickly picked most of the oil beans and 7 or 8 white-fleshed sweet potatoes from the space.

Actually, she wanted to bring out some potatoes and tender corn, but unfortunately, these things were too eye-catching. She could only settle for something else.

Li Laotai was dragged by her granddaughter to see the beansprouts and sweet potatoes, so she pinched her nose and whispered, "Just this once, be more careful in the future."

Jia Yin immediately nodded and added with a smile, "Cover yourself up, cover yourself up! Grandma, Fu Niuer wants to eat bean sprout pork ribs covered up!"

Of course, Old Madam Li agreed. Her granddaughter was still hurt, so she should eat more of her favorite dishes to help the wound heal faster.

Bean sprout and pork rib casserole, actually is a dish from northern China.

Blanch the pork ribs, then fry them in a hot pan with scallions, ginger, and soy sauce. Add green beans and sweet potato chunks, stir-fry until slightly softened. Add water to cover the green beans, and season with salt.

Finally, gently knead the prepared dough and roll it into a thick sheet. Place it firmly over the mung beans, like covering them with a thick quilt.

Thus, when it's done cooking, the green beans and pork ribs are stewed until tender, and the flatbread is also steamed.

Even some were soaked in the broth, the aroma of noodles and meat blending together. Taking a bite, it was simply indescribable how delicious it was.

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!

If paired with a bowl of golden millet porridge and a few small pickled dishes, it's simply the taste that haunts the dreams of all people from the north.

Shuǐyún wanted to help, but the old woman refused, afraid she couldn't make the flavor her granddaughter liked.

When Jiā'ān, Jiāxǐ, and Máo'ér returned from playing outside, they saw their little sister sitting on the threshold of the kitchen with her special blue-and-white bowl in her arms. They knew there was a delicious treat today.

So the three brothers scrambled onto the doorframe and peered inside with grins.

Old Mrs. Li was uncovering the pot when she saw her grandsons like this, and she laughed and scolded: "Your little sister is still young, so it's understandable that she asks for a taste. But you are all big kids, doing this kind of thing, aren't you afraid people will laugh at you"

"I'll tell you, your aunt is here, she went next door to change her clothes and will be back for dinner shortly."

Both Jiā'ān and Jiāxǐ, along with Māo'ér, blushed, finding excuses for themselves.

We don't pick a fight, we just want to help Grandma carry the dishes!

"Yes, we want to help Grandma carry the dishes!"

"Mmm hmm hmm, my brothers are right."

Li Laotai glared at them and ignored them.

But when filling the granddaughter's bowl with ribs, she still gave her a few extra pieces.

As expected, when she turned to look for a flowerpot, Jiayin quickly grabbed the spare ribs and shoved one into each brother's mouth.

Jīā'ān Jiāxǐ and Māo Gē'er were scalded by the cold air conditioning, one waved his hand at his sister while running to the hall to set up tables and chairs.

Li Lao's lips twitched with suppressed laughter, and her work became even more efficient.

A gift should be sent to Huiniang's place, another to the backyard, and Liu's place shouldn't be left out either.

Finally, after everything was set up, the Li family sat down for a meal.

And at this time, Grandma He and Sister Qiao also returned.

The old woman invited them to eat together. The two politely bowed and sat at the end of the table.

After dinner, the children were gone, and Mrs. Cui finally asked, "What did the Sun family say"

He Mam said, "When we sent Li's wife away, Mr. Sun was at home and listened to us explain the whole story. Mr. and Mrs. Sun's faces turned bad, it was clear they had no idea about any of this."

Mr. Sun wanted to apologize in person with a gift, but we refused. We said that the grievances between us should be settled, and we would no longer have any further dealings.

"Yes, that's right." Mrs. Cui snorted coldly, "This Mr. Sun and his wife are still quite sensible. I hope they will control that unruly servant in the future."

"Li Lao Tai nodded, "The mother of this young lady has been sick for a long time. Perhaps because Li Sao took care of everything, over time she forgot her place."

Mrs. Cui waved her hand and advised, "Don't think about it too much. It's their own business whether it's good or bad. Let's just think about how to spend the festival!"

She pointed to the yard next door, "Auntie, I've started a fire in my oven. Let's bake mooncakes together. I brought the filling and molds. Since I just ate your bean sprout casserole, Auntie, you should try my mooncakes too!"

Before the old lady could reply, Jia Yin was already jumping up and down, exclaiming, "Great! Great! Let's eat mooncakes!"

Grandma Li glared at her granddaughter and tapped her forehead, "Who else can eat it Just you can't! Don't you remember who ate too many snacks last night and had a stomachache"

Jia Yin held the zongzi in her hand, pleading with her grandmother pitifully. Finally, she got permission, but she could only eat half a piece!

In the evening, Li Zhensheng, Li Laosi, and Tao Hongying came back from the city. From afar, they smelled a sweet fragrance coming from their home.

When we reached the door, we found that it was the Cui family who were roasting mooncakes.

Every child in the village, one by one, waited in front of Cui's house.

Qiong's wife brought out a large plate of mooncakes and gave each child a piece.

The children all bowed and then ran off giggling.

Li Zhensheng and Li Lao Si wanted to avoid suspicion, so they went back home.

Tao Hongying strode into the Cui family courtyard and saw her daughter sitting on a chair, kicking her legs and happily munching mooncakes.

She stepped forward and hugged her daughter directly.

Jia Yin jumped in fright, her hand full of mooncakes had nowhere to hide, she could only grin foolishly with crumbs of mooncake all over her mouth, "Hee hee, mother, eat mooncake! The aunt baked it, it's so delicious!"

As she spoke, she stuffed the mooncake, with its teeth marks, into her mother's mouth.

Tao Hong's face was full of amusement and disbelief as she lightly pinched her daughter's little bottom.

Old Li rushed forward to rescue her granddaughter and defend her, "Don't scold our little Fu Niu, this girl has been well-behaved today. She just ate this piece of mooncake, she didn't eat much!"

Tao Hongying glanced at those baked mooncakes. One was as big as her palm and weighed two or three ounces. She really couldn't help but complain!

This mooncake is more expensive than ordinary pastries by over ten yuan!

Mrs. Cui, with flour still on her hands, couldn't help but pull Tao Hongying aside to divert the attention from Xiao Funiu. "Hongying, how is the restaurant doing Have you finalized the menu Are you opening tomorrow"

When it came to restaurants, Tao Hongying's face brightened. She quickly replied, "Today we tried out ten dishes and added six to the menu. With all the seafood we have, we can keep going for a while."

"It's just the dish with chili peppers added, I don't know if the diners here will like it... I think if it were in northern China, it would be a big hit!"

Jia Yin deftly stuffed the last piece of mooncake into her mouth and watched as her mother recounted the gossip from the teahouse, her spirits soaring.

She suddenly felt that she might have neglected her mother too much in her daily life!

My mother spends her days at home, busy with mundane chores. She prepares meals for the valley residents, which is a shame given her true talents!

If she were in the past life, her mother would definitely be a successful business woman!

Ignoring the idle chatter of the crowd, Jia Yin, with her chubby little face, started to ponder...ke some new playmates. 。"Alright, let Fu Niu'er learn some manners again. That way she won't be so mischievous and get laughed at. " 。"Li Laotai nodded, thought for a moment and said, "That princess i...
