Song Guochao was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered what he had inadvertently said to Lin Yuxi, and an expression of joy instantly ignited on his face.

"Do you remember?"

"Of course, you are my brother, of course I remember what you say."

After Song Guochao reacted, Lin Haoxi hurriedly took two steps back, kept his distance from him, and said with a smile.

Song Guochao didn't pay attention to Lin Xixi's movements, and his eyes were full of wild boars in bamboo baskets.

He was still worried that he had no money, but he didn't expect this cheap woman to send it over.

Sure enough, this woman still has him in her heart.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'll go first."

Lin Haoxi glanced at Song Guochao, who was still in a daze, shook the ingredients in his hand, and left the foot of the mountain humming a song.

Lu Qinzhou, who was hiding in the shadows, also left the mountainside from another trail with disappointment in his heart.

After Lin Haoxi went back, he began to mix his own lo-mei recipe non-stop.

She first washed the star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves, tangerine peel, peppercorns, cumin, and fragrant fruits, and soaked them in warm water for 10 minutes.

Finally, all these spices are packed into gauze, tied with hemp rope and set aside.

Finally, add boiling water to the iron pot, put in the seasoning package after boiling, then put some sesame oil, coarse salt, yellow gardenia, white wine, ginger, onion and garlic, and finally turn the heat to low after the water boils.

When the water in the pot turns sugary, you can put the ingredients.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.

"Lin Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing, are you at home?"

As soon as Lin Xiaoxi heard that it was Wang Xiaohua's voice, he hurriedly put down the spatula in his hand and walked out of the kitchen.

"Aunt Wang?"

"It's so fragrant, are you cooking?"

Wang Xiaohua smiled and hugged the basket in her arms and stretched her neck to look into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Lin Haoxi hurriedly invited her into the kitchen, and said as she walked, "No, I'm making brine, Aunt Wang, do you have time to help me try it." ”

Wang Xiaohua had heard this kind of statement for the first time, and she was very curious, so she hurriedly followed.

When she came to the stove, she noticed that the water in the pot had turned brown, and the fragrance wafting out of it made people have an appetite.

"What does brine do?"

Lin Haoxi didn't have any ingredients in his hand, so he planned to use the two eggs left in the kitchen to test.

She picked up the eggs awkwardly and said with a smile, "Auntie, I only have eggs here, and you will just take it." ”

When Wang Xiaohua heard this, she hurriedly handed over the basket and said with a smile, "I have it here." ”

As she spoke, she lifted the blue cloth that covered the basket, and saw a bowl full of eggs in a large basin in the basket.

"Aunt Wang, so many eggs?" Lin looked at the ingredients in the basket and was a little surprised.

She clearly remembered that there were no chickens in the Lu family's yard, so didn't the eggs go to the county seat to buy them?

"Yes, Aunt Zhang next door went to the county seat today and helped me order something, just bought too many eggs, get some for you."

Wang Xiaohua was worried that Lin would not accept it, so she hurriedly pushed the basket into her arms, and then turned around and left.

"I'm still cooking at home, so I'll leave first."

Lin Haoxi looked at the dozen or so eggs in the basket, and his eyes instantly moistened.

This basket of eggs costs one or two dollars, and in addition to money, egg tickets are the most difficult to get.

Only residents in the county town can get egg tickets, and people in the countryside who want to buy eggs need to go to the black market to buy tickets to buy them.

Thinking of this, she finally couldn't control it, pursed her mouth and sobbed quietly.

However, just when Lin was moved by Wang Xiaohua's behavior, the Lu family next door quarreled.

"Mom, such a precious egg, why do you say that you can send it, she hasn't passed the door yet."

Huang Yingying followed behind Wang Xiaohua in disbelief, stomping her feet and asking loudly.

Wang Xiaohua didn't hear it at all, and concentrated on the work in her hands, walking around the kitchen.

However, the more she didn't speak, the more Huang Yingying got an inch, and began to stand in the courtyard and scold Huai.

"Some people are really lucky, but they just sent two stacks of leftover yellow eels and field frogs over, so they changed a basket of eggs, and they had money to collect and hide, unexpectedly..."

As a result, before Huang Yingying finished speaking, Wang Xiaohua ran out with a spatula and scolded her.

"What are you yelling about, I bought eggs with my own money, I can give them to whoever I like, I see your scolding energy, you are not hungry at all, just don't eat dinner."

When Huang Yingying heard that her mother-in-law didn't give her dinner, she instantly became anxious, and sat directly on the ground and cried.

Lu Qinzhou, who had already returned home, didn't hear it at all, vented the anger in his heart with a cold face, and slashed hard at the firewood.

The conversation between the two was very loud, and even the educated youth in the academy stood up and watched.

Lin Haoxi couldn't listen to it, put the marinated eggs in the basin, and walked out of the yard directly with the basin.

She came to the door of the Lu family and shouted to Wang Xiaohua in the courtyard.

"Aunt Wang."

As soon as Lin Yanxi's voice came out, the people who were chopping wood and crying in the yard all stopped their movements and looked out of the fence in unison.

Even Wang Xiaohua, who was busy in the kitchen, rushed out and came to the fence with a smile on her face.

"Lin Zhiqing, why are you here?"

"Aunt Wang, the lo-mei is ready, I will give you a taste, and give me some advice by the way." Lin Haoxi held the pot and entered the courtyard under the greeting of Wang Xiaohua.

As soon as she stepped into the yard, Huang Yingying, who was originally sitting on the ground crying, rushed over.

He took the ceramic basin from Lin Haoxi's hand, turned around and entered the hall.

Because Huang Yingying's movements were too fast and rude, Lin Haoxi almost fell.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaohua was by the side, otherwise it would have almost caused a catastrophe.

Lu Qinzhou stood by and watched, and when he found that Lin Haoxi almost fell, he subconsciously wanted to help.

Just as he wanted to step forward, he hesitated, his eyes instantly darkened, he lowered his head and clenched his fists and turned to enter the room.

At the moment when Lu Qinzhou turned around, Lin Haoxi turned his head to look at his indifferent back suspiciously.

After Wang Xiaohua stabilized Lin Xixi, she pointed at Huang Yingying, who ran back to the hall, and scolded, "Huang Yingying, you are a stone in the chicken nest, bastard." ”

After scolding, she hurriedly checked Lin Zhixi's body, and asked anxiously, "Lin Zhiqing, are you okay?" ”

The sudden relationship made Lin Yixi come back to his senses, and he hurriedly shook his head with a smile, "It's okay, Aunt Wang, let Brother Qinzhou come out and try it too." ”

When Wang Xiaohua heard this, she found that the second child was no longer in the courtyard, so she let go of Lin Haoxi's hand and walked towards the second child's room.

"Qinzhou, Lin Zhiqing is here, what are you still doing in bed? One or two, each of them does not let me worry. ”

Lin Yixi stared at Lu Qinzhou's room suspiciously, until he saw Wang Xiaohua pushing Lu Qinzhou out of the courtyard, and then stepped forward with a smile.

"Qinzhou, try the lo-mei I made."

Lu Qinzhou kept his head down, pursed his lips, and after a while, he replied coldly.

"No, I'm not hungry."

With that, he turned and left, leaving a word before entering the room.

"If you feel reluctant about the engagement, you can cancel it."
