Although the dumplings have more vegetables and less meat, and the noodles are also half white noodles and half multigrain noodles, they are already the best food in the countryside, and ordinary people can't eat them at all until the New Year's Day.

If it weren't for a big fish of more than 30 catties sold yesterday, the Xu family would not be willing to buy meat dumplings.

"Huihui and her aunt will go to live at her grandmother's house for a few days!" Sun Xiang was ready to go home, Xu Zhiyong put on a cattle cart and brought some dried fish to the Zhou family, a jar of Xu Hui's fried fish sauce, Zhou Xiaomei made two pairs of shoes for her father, the upper was made with the help of Deng Alian's mother-in-law, and the sole was made by Zhou Xiaomei herself.

In a few days, the land will be farmed, and Xu Hui still wants to help cook at home! Besides, she didn't know much about the situation of the Zhou family, so she was afraid of recognizing the wrong person: "Auntie, when the family finishes planting, I will go to see my grandfather and aunt and uncle!" ”

Zhou Dongshu patted his cousin on the shoulder: "You go to my house every year when you farm and cut the land, why don't you go this year?" Oh, I see, you want to wait for Uncle to pick it up, right? ”

Xu Hui waved her two hands together: "I really don't need to pick up, I'm six years old this year, and I can already help the family do some things, my father and mother don't need me to go to the ground, then I'll help my grandmother at home."

When my cousin went back, don't forget to say hello to the elders on behalf of me and my two older brothers, and tell them that I will come over whenever I have time. ”

Zhou Dongshu covered her mouth and snickered, when the uncle came back, her cousin would definitely follow obediently.

Sending Sun Xiang's mother and daughter away, Deng Alian raised the two chickens, and put the pig's trotters into the pot and added water to cook them for her granddaughter.

Xu Hui has been here for a few days, and it can be seen that the Xu family cooks in addition to boiling, that is, stewing, only sprinkling a little salt in the dish, drizzling a little soy sauce, and almost no other condiments.

"I want to try to do it, milk, mother, can you leave this matter to me? Do you have artichoke at home? ”

"Yes, I'll get it for you!" Zhou Xiaomei said.

Xu Hui didn't expect there to be artichokes here, haven't you seen it on the dinner table for the past few days?

"Milk, how do you usually eat artichokes?"

"Cook and eat, burn and eat, now a lot of artichokes are wilted, not very delicious, most people don't eat it, keep it for seeds, what's wrong?"

"Do we have artichoke sprouts?" If the sprouts are raw, they can't be eaten, they are poisonous, Xu Hui feels that this matter has to be asked clearly.

"Your eldest brother likes to eat roasted potatoes, so our family will put half of the potatoes in the cellar, and take out the other half to let it sprout, and plant it in the field after a while!"

Wash and peel the artichoke, Xu Hui put a little lard in the pot, pinch a little brown sugar after stir-frying with green onion and ginger, add soup to the pig's trotters, wrap some seasonings in muslin cloth and put them in the soup, and put the artichoke pieces when the pig's trotters are medium-cooked.

Although there was only one dish in the evening, looking at a small pot full of stewed pig's trotters with artichokes, Xu Jianlin's saliva was about to flow down when he smelled the fragrance.

"I really didn't expect the artichoke to be eaten like this!" The artichoke stew is soft and rotten, blending the taste of pig's trotters and broth, and the taste is no worse than that of pig's trotters, even Deng Alian ate it.

Zhou Xiaomei also ate very much, stood up and walked around the house to digest food, Xu Zhiyong took his two sons to the river to see if there were any fish in the fish basket under them, and there were only three women in the family, one big and one young.

"Mother, did you say that we should follow Huihui's method and braise some meat to sell it in the market!" Today's pig's trotters are too fragrant, and Zhou Xiaomei thinks it will definitely be good if they are used to sell business.

Deng Alian lowered her head and pondered, Xu Hui was very happy to see that her family had already considered making food and selling it, but she went to the market to sell braised pork......

"Milk, mother, I don't think it's feasible to go to the market to sell braised meat, the first weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the braised meat is unbearable to put out, if it can't be sold in the morning, it will be broken, and the risk is too great; Second, the people who rush to the market are generally ordinary people, and a few people are willing to spend dozens of dollars to buy catties of braised pork to eat at home, and the really rich people rarely go to the market to buy food; Third, the cost is too high, if we buy a few catties of meat at a time, it is too troublesome and not cost-effective, if we buy more, the cost is a lot, in case we can't sell it, do we take it back to our own home to eat! ”

Deng Alian and Zhou Xiaomei looked at Xu Hui together: "Tell me what we should do if we want to go to the market to sell food?" ”

"Wontons or fish soup with flatbread, wontons can be eaten for a few pennies, let's make some vegetarian filling, it can be cheaper. That doesn't cost anything, you can bring noodles, bring some meat filling, and sell as many packs as you want!

Fish soup is also easy to do, the raw materials are ready to go to the market to boil, and the cake can be baked at home and wrapped in a drawer cloth to take away. Xu Hui had already thought that she had to start with a small business, and it was unrealistic to want to make braised pork or open a store from the beginning.

"I'm thinking about it with your mother, we're going to farm right now, and we can't think about setting up a stall, so let's go to the market first and see what food is good to sell!" Deng Alian said.

Grandma's thinking is avant-garde enough, and she also knows how to do market research, Xu Hui assured them that she has taken care of the seasoning herself, and they will definitely make money if they cooperate well.

The other two women glanced at each other, they didn't plan to let Xu Hui go to the market to show up, as long as she told the method.

Xu Zhiyong father and son carried three palm-sized crucian carp, and a few small fish came back, Xu Jianlin came home and muttered why the little sister could catch a big fish that day, and now there are only small fish left, could it be that the big fish appeared that day and were caught?

"What are you muttering? Do you think there are dozens of catties of big fish in the river, I have lived most of my life, and yesterday was the first time I saw it! Deng Alian taught her little grandson a lesson.

"Next time, I'll take my little sister to fish, maybe I'll be able to catch big fish again!" Xu Jianlin looked at his sister with burning eyes.

Xu Hui shook her head, the last fishing consumed a lot of the spiritual power of the brown hibiscus, and I haven't seen it come out until now, and I don't speak anymore, for a tael of silver is too much to lose, I should let the brown hibiscus preserve the spiritual power, and then use it when needed.

"Even if you have a conscience, you don't want to use this elf as bait again!" The sound of hibiscus came from the space.

"You're awake!" Xu Hui's voice was full of surprise and excitement, and the brown hibiscus felt very useful when she heard this, is the little girl still quite conscientious!

"I also just woke up, bring some potatoes into the space at night, and I'll help you plant them!"

"Great!" Before going to bed, Xu Hui put the remaining potatoes in the kitchen into the space and brought two crucian carp.

In the space, hibiscus planted artichokes, Xu Hui found a shovel to dig a pit, filled it with some spring water, poured it in, and put two crucian carp into the pit.

The next morning, Brown Hibiscus shouted Xu Hui to fish out the crucian carp, Xu Hui thought that Brown Hibiscus was unwilling to let her raise fish, and when she entered the space, she saw that she had misunderstood it, and the two crucian carp last night had fish roe, I don't know if it was because the temperature in the space was suitable, and the fish roe left the mother body and stayed at the bottom of the puddle.

"You'll get me a job!" Hibiscus works while disgusted.
