If you buy meat, you can buy it in the village next door.

As for the white flour, it was also bought by the people around him during the day.

In addition, the seasonings she needed or something, Bai Jinli brought with her.

Because I haven't cooked for a long time, my hands are a little itchy at the moment.

Yan watched Bai Jinli go to the kitchen and also came over to help.

Originally, Mrs. Li also wanted to come over to join in the fun, but was politely persuaded by Bai Jinli to go out.

In the kitchen, Yan's noodles are made, and she makes dumpling fillings.

After all the things that needed to be prepared were ready, Bai Jinli called Mrs. Li and asked her to help make dumplings together.

When a few people were sitting around the yard making dumplings, someone soon knocked on the door again.

The person who knocked on the door was Yu's mother-in-law, the little girl who had just gone home with a basket.

Yu was cooking at home when she saw her daughter running into the kitchen, saying that she had something good to try.

Seeing that her girl's hands and face were white and pure, and she also pinched a snack that seemed to be very valuable, Yu asked her what was going on.

The little girl said that she had just gone out to help someone dig wild vegetables in exchange, and she had to give Yu a taste.

Yu tasted it and thought it tasted very good, and heard the little girl say that she also drank a very delicious sour plum soup in the courtyard of Bai Jinli's house, and used fragrant pancreas, so she knew that her girl had met a nobleman.

So many expensive snacks and food are exchanged for a basket of worthless wild vegetables, Yu Shi feels embarrassed.

After thinking about it, he cut a piece of tofu from home and sent it over under the guidance of the little girl.

When she came over, she found out that this place was where Lord Bai lived.

But it's all here, and you can't just do nothing and go back.

After standing at the door and hesitating for a few seconds, Yu knocked on the door, but fortunately, Master Bai was not there, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

When she explained her intentions, Bai Jinli suddenly put down the dumplings she was wrapping in her hand, got up and spoke.

"Auntie, you're so polite. Your little girl is clever and diligent, and she has helped me a lot, but those things are just some snacks, not valuable. ”

Yu looked like an authentic and hard-working woman, she just smiled and insisted on handing over the tofu.

"This young lady, this tofu is made by me, and it is not valuable, you are so good to my family, I really want to thank you."

"That's okay, auntie, I'll take this tofu, thank you!"

Bai Jinli heard her say that, so she took away the white and tender tofu.

"Then young lady, you are busy, I won't bother you." Yu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and then took the little girl's hand and left.

Bai Jinli watched the figures of their mother disappear at the door, and couldn't help muttering: "This person is really polite!" ”

"But this tofu looks really good. Mother, sister-in-law, if you don't make dumplings first, I'll go make this tofu. ”

"Huh? What do you want to make tofu? Mrs. Li asked casually.

"Mother, I'm going to make a fish-flavored tofu, what do you think?"

"Okay, do you need help?" Mrs. Li asked.

After Yi sent someone to buy the things he needed and came back, he told his family that he was going out to inspect the fields, and by the way, everyone went back to take a lunch break, so he was not here for the time being.

It was the little maid next to Bai Yiyi who helped Bai Jinli feed the horses in the backyard.

"Mother, it's okay, I'll just call my eldest brother's servant to come over and help light the fire, you're busy."

After Bai Jinli finished speaking, she called the little maid who was in the middle of the day.

Fish-flavored tofu is actually quite easy to make, as long as you can mix that juice well, the taste will not be bad at that time.

After Bai Jinli cut the tofu into small pieces, she beat three more eggs and stirred well, and then put the cut tofu in the eggs and wrapped it.

Then he poured oil into the pot and instructed the little maid of the day to start the fire.

When the oil is hot, she puts the tofu in the pan and starts frying it, and when the tofu is golden brown, she takes it out.

Then there is the sauce, three spoons of soy sauce, one spoonful of vinegar, and one spoonful of sugar.

Then pour oil into the hot pan, stir-fry the minced ginger and garlic until fragrant, add a spoonful of her homemade sauce, stir-fry together until fragrant, pour the fried tofu into it and stir-fry, pour half a bowl of water, and then pour in the juice prepared in advance.

When it was almost done, she poured the last bowl of starch water into the juice, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and then removed from the pot.

A burst of fragrance wafted in, and the originally white and tender tofu looked particularly attractive at the moment, like a piece of delicious meat.

The little guy who was squatting on the side and burning the fire was stunned, and couldn't help but sniff vigorously in mid-air.

It was the first time he had seen someone make tofu like this, and it was so delicious.

After Bai Jinli's tofu was ready, she found a bowl to buckle up the tofu out of the pot, and then made room for Yan to start making dumplings.

Taking advantage of this, she made a cold salad with the remaining wild vegetables.

I made a few artichokes with a quick toss.

When making the last dish of artichoke, Bai Jinli instructed the little guy to call Bai Yi to come back for dinner.

When her dish was ready and served, the steaming dumplings were also out of the pot.

As soon as Yan put the dumplings on the table, he saw the old man Bai who was chatting outside coming back behind his hands.

Seeing the figure of Old Man Bai appear, Mrs. Li couldn't help but snort.

"You're a dog, do you have a long dog nose? I don't see you when I'm busy. No, the meal has just been cooked, but you show up, but you really smell it. ”

"Hehehe, coincidence, coincidence." Old Man Bai smiled and went to wash his hands.

That's how it worked, and Bai Yi also came back from outside with the little guy.

"Dad, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, come and eat!"

"Hey, what's this dish? It tastes so good. Old Man Bai took a piece of tofu and stuffed it into his mouth, and then sighed.

"This is fish-flavored tofu, and the tofu was brought by someone else when I was cooking."

"What? Bean curd? This thing doesn't taste like it, it's delicious! ”

"Just the tofu is delicious? Aren't dumplings delicious? Mrs. Li asked.

"It's delicious, and the dumplings are particularly delicious."

After the old man Bai finished speaking, he was very cooperative and stuffed a dumpling into it, and ate it with relish.

The family gathered around the table to eat, and the little maid squatted outside the kitchen holding a bowl and eating.

These days, I have been eating the same as the people in the village, and my mouth is very light.

At first glance, when I ate such delicious dumplings and tofu, as well as cold vegetables, the little guy felt extremely happy.

After eating, Mrs. Li had to instruct Old Man Bai to wash the dishes.

also said that they are all responsible for cooking, and the old man Bai, as the head of the family, can't do nothing, pat his ass and leave when he is full.

In the past, cooking and washing dishes were all Yan's, but now it's different, Yan's is the county lord anyway.

Although she has no frame at all when she is at home, it does not mean that others can ignore her identity and instruct her to do things at will.

It's true that Mrs. Li is a rough person, but she is not a stupid person.

She knew that her eldest son would have to live well with Yan's daughter-in-law in the future, and she also knew that now in the capital, she couldn't be too talkative, so since she came to the capital, she had not instructed Yan.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really not good.

But when you think about it, it's not a big deal now.

After all, their family is big enough, and they each have their own yards and things to do, so they don't go to meet if they have nothing to do.

Anyway, distance produces beauty!

In this way, the relationship between them has become more and more harmonious.

In the end, Old Man Bai still didn't do anything to wash the dishes.

Because the little guy who was in the middle of the day took the initiative and urgently stood up and contracted the dishwashing work.

Seeing that Bai Yi was still sitting in the courtyard, Bai Jinli casually asked about the little girl and Yu.

After all, there were five portions of food she sent out, and only the little girl's mother, Yu, sent tofu, which was really surprising.

"Are you talking about Yu Huan, their mother and daughter? The only person who can make tofu in the village is Yu's family. ”

"What's wrong with them?" Bai Jinli asked.

"That little girl's name is Yu Huan, she is more than five years old this year, and her father Yu Lian was taken away by the people who came to recruit when she was not born, and she has not come back until now."

"Five or six years have passed, everyone says that Yu Lian died in battle a long time ago, so he can't come back, Yu Huan's mother Yu Shi doesn't believe it, she has always believed that her father-in-law is not dead, but he is still on the front line and has not returned."

"I heard that over the years, the Yu family has taken the little girl Yu Huan to live a very hard life, but the Yu family has survived it."

"Fortunately, the village chief in this village is a reasonable person, and he often asks his daughter-in-law to secretly take care of the mother and daughter, and most people in the village also take care of them."

"Yu is a person who knows how to measure, she knows that everyone takes care of her, so when she sells tofu in the village, it is also the lowest price."

"But no matter what, the Yu family is a woman's family after all, and it is not easy to support the family, and their lives are very tight on weekdays."

"I see. Big brother, five years ago, there was a war in the Great Qi Kingdom? Bai Jinli nodded slightly.

"Well, the Great Qi Kingdom has not been peaceful before, and the war has been fought intermittently for many years, and it is only in recent years that it has stabilized."

"And what about those who were drafted to the front? It's been all these years, and you haven't come back? "Bai Jinli.

"The people in the village who were taken away by the conscription with Yu Huan's father either reported their deaths, or they had already gone home, and only Yu Huan's father has not heard from her."

"Everyone said that he died in battle, otherwise after so many years, how could he not go home, and Yu has always believed that her man will definitely come back."

"Hey, if you want me to see, that person is probably more than lucky, otherwise how could he not go home?" Speaking of this, Bai Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"Not necessarily. What if, Yu Huan's father really didn't die, but he was too heroic in the war that year, accidentally injured, and then lost his memory, so he has been guarding the front line? Maybe they still have an official position! Bai Jinli couldn't help but say.

"Little sister, how do you know this?"

"According to the routine, isn't it all like this?" Bai Jinli muttered.

"Huh? What did you say? ”
