Other crops in the field behind the courtyard of Lin Zhu Zhuang are also ripening, but whether they are soybeans, peppers or peanuts, they need to be dried before they can be received in the warehouse. However, there is a way to eat peanuts, which is best when they are first harvested. That is boiled peanuts, and the auxiliary materials needed for boiled peanuts are all here. Lin Zhu often has to stew some pork ribs and meat, so peppercorns and star anise are often available, and she found cinnamon in Fushengtang, so this boiled flower is easy to make.

Lin Zhu took five catties of peanuts, washed them with water, and gently clamped them with his thumb and index finger at the front end of each peanut to make a small hole in the peanut shell, so that it could be better flavored when cooking later. Put the cinnamon and peppercorns in the pot, add enough water, put the washed peanuts into the pot together, and add an appropriate amount of salt. Cook for about half an hour and you're ready to cook. In order to ensure that the flavor of the peanuts remains unchanged, Lin Zhu left the water in which the peanuts were boiled, soaked the boiled peanuts in it, and when eating, just take them out.

In fact, there are other ways to boil flowers, but they are to replace peppercorns with star anise, because these accessories are ready-made at home, so she made two flavors. However, the most particular ones should be boiled peanuts made with rock sugar, star anise, raw licorice, dried chilies, green onion knots and white pepper seeds with fresh raw peanuts. This is one of the must-have cold dishes for banquets in major restaurants in the previous life, and it is also one of the best snacks to accompany wine.

However, in the case that I have never eaten peanuts in my life today, the boiled peanuts made by Lin Zhu's simple method have surprised people. She tasted the boiled peanuts that had just come out of the pot with Chang's mother, "Chang's mother, how does it taste?" "Girl. I didn't expect this peanut to be so delicious, salty and soft. It's delicious. Chang's mother nodded in surprise, and she instantly understood that this was another thing that Lin Zhu could make a lot of money. Girl. If this is sold, it should be no worse than watermelon. ”

"It's hard to say now, after all, watermelon is something that many people know, and this peanut appears too little, and people still don't recognize it." Lin Zhu said regretfully. "When the peanuts are dried, send some to Grandpa along with the chili peppers and the new white rice. And that pot of summer plums. He will definitely like it when he sees it. "Okay, I'll arrange it in a few days, don't worry about it." Chang's mother had long remembered this, and from the very beginning, she placed the things for Dr. Zhang separately.

"Give some of these boiled peanuts to Aunt Li and Uncle Wang's family. Let them taste it too. Next year, we will have to find some suitable fields in Zhuangzi and plant more. Lin Zhu thought, this peanut can be used in vegetables and squeezed for oil, and it has a lot of uses, and peanuts also have the effects of correcting and replenishing deficiency, pleasing the spleen and stomach, moistening the lungs and dissolving phlegm, nourishing and regulating qi, diluting water and reducing swelling, stopping bleeding and milking, clearing the throat and malaria.

"But I have to tell Aunt Li, sister-in-law Lin is pregnant, so don't eat it." Lin Zhu confessed to Chang's mother, who was walking out the door. Although cinnamon has the effect of invigorating the blood, pregnant women should eat less. However, since Liu Qiucui was pregnant after two years of marriage, it is better to be careful. "It's good." Chang's mother agreed, and walked out the door.

Lin Zhu went back to the house to tease Fu Dou'er to talk, according to the calculation, he should be about to turn one year old. Now he loves to crawl around, and if she and Chang's mother can still stand up with his support, his calves move like signs of being able to walk. Lin Zhu had seen a friend's child before. At this time, there are one or two words coming out of her mouth, so now she also intends to induce Fu Dou'er's ability to speak.

"Fu Dou'er. Come, call sister. Sister. Lin Zhu held Fu Dou'er's two arms and taught him to walk and talk while walking on the couch. It's just that the current Fu Dou'er is more interested in the sound of the rattle than Lin Zhu's voice, shaking it vigorously, making a knocking sound. Not only that, Fu Douer will knock on anything he sees, and he will also knock on the bowl when he eats, but Chang's mother won't let him knock, saying that it is so unruly at the dinner table. Lin Zhu didn't say anything, just changed the bowl to the couch and asked Fu Dou'er to knock on it. This couch is Lin Zhu in order to let Fu Douer have a place to play and deliberately find someone to do, the ground in the house is land, not suitable for Fu Douer to crawl around on it, with this couch, it is convenient to have many children, for this reason Lin Zhu also deliberately let people make the couch bigger.

And Lin Zhu also bought some paper, and drew ducklings, chickens and the like on it for him to see, who knew that Dao Fu Douer was more interested in tearing these papers than looking at them, and the sound of tearing paper always got him a smirk. Lin Zhu always pointed at his little head and said that he was a loser.

In order to avoid waste, Lin Zhu had to take him outside to meet the real chicks, but he could only let him watch outside, not touch them with his hands.

Under Lin Zhu's slow training, Fu Dou'er was slowly able to walk a few more steps, and she could also utter a few monosyllabic words in her mouth. Of course, the first thing he said was not his father or mother, but his sister. When Fu Dou'er clearly called out the word sister for the first time, Lin Zhu was overjoyed and hugged him excitedly, "Sister really didn't hurt you in vain." He shouted to Chang's mother, who was busy outside, "Chang's mother, Chang's mother" The frightened Chang's mother thought something was wrong, and walked straight to take a look, Lin Zhu was holding Fu Dou'er, and smiled at her and said, "Chang's mother, Fu Dou'er will call her sister." "Really? That's great, the little master has grown up. Congratulations, girl. Chang's mother also said with a smile.

But just when Fu Dou'er called out her sister for the first time, a young man in a house in the capital who was celebrating his son's first birthday suddenly felt a pain in his heart, as if he had lost some precious treasure, and his face was much uglier. He didn't feel happy in the face of the concern of the people around him and the smiling face of his son, this frustration did not last long to be washed away, he shook his head and said to the people around him that there was nothing wrong, and then he continued to hold a birthday party for his son and prepare for the arrest of Zhou.

"Mother Chang, I have decided, this day will be set as Fudou's birthday, how about we celebrate his birthday?" Lin Zhu thought that he had never thought about which day to be his birthday for Fu Dou'er, and the birthday on the household registration was only set by Lin Changqing casually, and Lin Zhu didn't pay attention to which day it was, just in time for Fu Dou'er to speak, and today was his birthday for the sake of celebrating.

"In that case, then I have to prepare some things for catching Zhou, and invite Village Chief Lin's family, the Wang family, and your little sisters to come over for a first birthday banquet. I'll go get ready right away. Chang's mother left happily.

Everyone was very happy to hear that they were going to hold a birthday banquet for Fu Douer, and they all said that they must go. Aunt Li and Aunt Guo also helped Chang's mother find things to catch Zhou. Aunt Li's second son, Lin Hongyuan, brought the book when he was enlightened, and Aunt Guo'er's family had a small abacus that was treasured by Mr. Wang's father and son, and he also brought it. A few days ago, when Chang Shi sent a letter to Chang's mother, he asked someone to bring a wooden sword by the way, Lin Zhu was afraid of danger and didn't let Fu Dou'er play, so he also took it out at this time, and there were pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, because Lin Zhu was already learning words from Chang's mother, so he had them at home. Lin Zhu also deliberately took out a large ingot of silver and put it on the table, which was bright. This is what Lin Zhu wants him to catch the most. Wang Lin also took out a flute, which he made himself, and Lin Zhu saw it very well, so he let it be put on the table.

gave Fu Douer a new dress, put on a tiger head hat, and put on tiger head shoes. A very beautiful tiger doll appeared in front of everyone. "Fu Dou'er catches Zhou." Lin Zhu put him on a couch full of various items and asked him to catch it.

"Fu Dou'er, you must fight for your sister and come back with a big piece of silver." Lin Zhu induced Fu Dou'er on the side, but was stopped by Chang's mother, "Girl, how can there be such a thing as you, if you want to catch it, you have to grab books, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, or sword, so that you can have a future in the future." "No, Mother Chang, you have to catch food, what if you don't go hungry in the future?" Ruyu pointed to the little snack she secretly put on and said, that small snack is what Fu Dou'er likes to eat, I don't know when Ruyu took it, "Xiaoyu, you are making trouble again, quickly take down the food." Aunt Li was afraid that Lin Zhu would be unhappy, so she hurriedly said. If you have nothing to do, Auntie, if you catch Zhou, you have to have everything, and grabbing what you eat also means that Fu Douer will not worry about eating and drinking in the future. Don't you see there's still a toy on it? Ha Luha, if you catch it, it's just right, you can eat and play, this kid will be able to race the gods in the future. It's a pity that her remarks were immediately suppressed by the adults.

In order not to let Lin Zhu take Fu Dou'er badly, they decided not to let Lin Zhu talk anymore, but everyone pointed to those objects that could be promising, and coaxed Fu Dou'er, like Aunt Li, Chang's mother and Aunt Guo, these women hope that Fu Dou'er can catch some books, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and be able to read and write in the future, and it is best to be an official or something, and the men like Lin Changqing and Wang Shudun and his sons hope that Fu Dou'er can grab the wooden sword and gallop on the battlefield in the future and establish meritorious deeds. It's a pity that Fu Douer is too assertive, no one cares about it, and crawls around on the couch, picking up this and that from time to time, picking up that and seeing, making everyone's hearts go up and down, for fear that he will follow Lin Zhu and take some things to eat, drink and have fun. After all, the two kinds of flowers that Lin Zhu likes, "rich flowers and casual flowers", have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and from time to time they are taken out by a few children to talk about it, and they get a few little girls, desperately saving money for private houses, and not letting their parents know how much they have, which is too annoying.

Fu Dou'er played for a while, and finally lost interest in this game of catching weeks, and after the end, he grabbed Lin Zhu's big ingot silver and a small wooden sword in his hand, staggered to Lin Zhu, and opened his small hand to let Lin Zhu into his arms.

Lin Zhu smiled with satisfaction when he saw this result, and gently patted Fu Dou'er's back, "It's good, it's really my sister's good brother, I caught it well." In the future, you will have money and be able to protect yourself. That's good. In fact, the hearts of the others are thinking that Xiao Fudouer may be able to become a general in the future. However, the weekly meeting finally ended successfully.

So everyone happily enjoyed a sumptuous first birthday banquet. (To be continued......)
