"This tiger is the head of our village, which family?" Wang Hu is the third sister's favorite person, Liu Li's heart is calculating, but he has to inquire about this Wang Hu's personality, and he can't let the third sister suffer in the future.

"Mother will put a hundred hearts that is, Wang Hu, my daughter has been in contact with him, he is enthusiastic about the ancient way, honest and kind, but there are some people at home...., life is a little difficult, let's not talk about this now, talk about the dishes that will be entertained in three days, mother, what do you think we will cook?". Liu Yiyu diverted the topic and gave Liu Yisa a look, and Liu Yisa hurriedly pulled Liu Li to sit at the table.

"Let's open two seats, one seat for women, one seat for men, as for the dishes, stewed chicken with potatoes, braised pig's trotters, throttle pork belly, dried bamboo shoots and fried tobacco intestines, scrambled eggs with leeks, steamed carp, Chinese cabbage, stewed pork ribs with white radish, eldest sister, this is the mother looks at the ready-made things at home, and plans to make these dishes to entertain customers in three days, eldest sister, you see if there is anything left behind."

"Then make a barbecue sparrow, rice staple, make ten dishes, come to a perfect one, get a good fortune."

"That's it, that's all."

"Three days later, I took the fourth sister, Xun'er and the eighth sister to cook the dishes, and my grandmother and mother and the eldest brother entertained the guests."

"Eldest sister, you are familiar with the shopkeeper Zhang, Xun Lao, and Huang shopkeeper in the town, it is more appropriate for you to entertain you, and when the time comes, grandma will be in charge of the kitchen."

"Grandma, it's better to let the second sister and the third sister come, eldest sister, you entertain guests."

"Grandma and mother, second sister and third sister are not successful, that day, grandma and mother have things to do, give the second sister and the third sister palm, this can not be ambiguous, these things, the eldest sister can do it."

"Eldest sister, you like to make fun of the second sister." Liu Yisa was said by Liu Yiyu, his face was flushed, and he stomped his feet.

"Just that's it". Even the third sister Liu Yishuang, who has always been bold and hearty, said that in this matter, she showed the posture of a little daughter.

"You want to help the eldest sister, come to help now, the eldest sister will teach you to cook melon seeds and peanuts, and ensure that the cooked things are fragrant and delicious?" Liu Yiyu looked at the second sister and the third sister with a smile, and it has been two years since he crossed over, and the memory of his previous life has slowly blurred and he can't remember.

Liu Yiyu clearly remembered that when he crossed over, the second and third sisters were still eleven years old, black and thin, where could they see the appearance of eleven years old, and some people would believe it when they were nine or eight years old.

In recent years, my own life has improved, almost three meals a day every day, no longer as before I can't eat, I can only eat three points of a full stomach, the second sister and the third sister have been raised for a while, and now they are almost thirteen years old.

Not only the second sister and the third sister drew a strip, but even the fourth sister and Xun'er, the sixth sister, and the eighth sister gradually opened, and the fifth and seventh brothers gradually became stronger.

"Cheng, my mother also went with the eldest sister to take a look, how many ways does the eldest sister have weird ways? My mother also wants to learn."

"Okay, let's go, mother, now we don't have such a home, plus the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister are all open, in a few days, let's go to the town, buy some muslin and brocade silk, and one person should also make a dress up, whether it is to go to someone else's house as a guest, or to entertain guests, or others, these can not be left behind."

"Yes? It's my mother who is confused, and after a few days, my mother and my eldest sister will go to the cloth shop in the town to have a look, choose some good materials, and make a few new clothes for your sister and brother."

Most of the melon seeds and peanuts harvested by farmers from the fields are washed, dried, sealed and used to entertain guests during the New Year.

Another is to wash it, then put water in the pot, after boiling, directly put the washed melon seeds or peanuts into it to boil, and so repeatedly cook for half an hour, until the melon seeds or peanuts are flavored, and then take out the melon seeds or peanuts, drain the water, and dry them.

Liu Yiyu taught the second sister that the melon seeds they cooked were the spiced melon seeds of the previous life, Liu Yiyu put the cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, cumin, cardamom that the fifth brother bought back from the town, put an appropriate amount, and then stir-fry in the dry pot until the fragrance is fried, and then put the melon seeds in, fry a cup of tea for a while, then put water in, cover the pot, boil for half an hour, put in salt to taste, and then take it out, drain the water, and dry it.

"Wow, eldest sister, are the melon seeds you boiled so fragrant?" The sixth sister on the side was in front of the stove, smelling the white mist, and closed her eyes with some intoxication.

"What are you gluttony?" Liu Yiyu smiled and pinched the sixth sister's bun face.

Subsequently, the lid of the pot was lifted, some were shoveled out with a wooden shovel, and a taste was tasting.

"It is finished, you all eat and see".

"Eldest sister, are the melon seeds you cooked delicious?" Liu Yimeng ate in his mouth and said vaguely.

"Sixth sister, you eat slowly, leave it to me to eat." The eighth sister is small and can't eat quickly, and after seeing that the sixth sister eats very fast, she suddenly became a little anxious.

"There are so many melon seeds at home, let's finish eating these, and we'll cook another pot later." Liu Yiyu smiled and looked at the sixth and eighth sisters struggling to eat, and said a little funny.

"Big sister, are these melon seeds so delicious? After touching these melon seeds in the sun, it tastes more flavorful and refreshing? My mother has never eaten such delicious melon seeds? ”。

"Eldest sister, you said that the melon seeds you cooked are so delicious, we have never eaten them, eldest sister, you say, can we sell these melon seeds for money?" At this time, the third sister Liu Yishuang said.

Melon seeds and peanuts are cheap things in the farmhouse, at this time of year, the farmer will plant some to entertain guests for the New Year, as for the people who sell melon seeds in the town, Liu Yiyu has never seen it? .

"This eldest sister doesn't know? Another day, the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou will come to our house as a guest, or let's ask." Liu Yiyu said with some uncertainty.

"Regardless of whether these melon seeds and peanuts can be sold for money, our family will take advantage of the time these days, let's cook more and use them for entertaining guests during the New Year." At this time, Liu Zhang said.

The Liu family is cooking melon seeds around the kitchen, and they are happy, you say that I am laughing, so unpleasant, the kitchen exudes a strong five-flavor fragrance, which smells good.
