After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

For a moment, everyone gathered around curiously, wanting to see what she was going to do.

Although Li Erhu was at the Lu family at the moment, he didn't know that the Lu family picked a lot of watermelons from the mountains. After all, who would have thought that something like this that he had never seen before would grow nearby?

He thought that such a rare thing was brought back from Fucheng or Jiangnan by Lu He and others, just like the special cakes at that time.

"What is this watermelon?" he asked shamelessly.

Xu Mengxiao immediately cut a watermelon that Lu Hai fished out of the well into half, divided it into several pieces, and let each of them eat one piece.

Of course she wants to eat it too. This chilled watermelon should not be too sweet or too refreshing. It can be said to be the sweetest melon Xu Mengxiao has ever eaten in her life!

The others were more or less mentally prepared, but Li Erhu was severely shocked, "This, um, is delicious, delicious, delicious!"

For a moment, the mouth only said that it was delicious, and only focused on eating. Unfortunately, there was only a small piece, and it was finished in a few or two bites.

Li Erhu almost chewed the rind of the watermelon!

Mayor Lu quickly stopped him with a smile. Two days before that, Lu Hai sent one to him.

At that time, he thought the melon rind was edible and almost made a fool of himself.

Xu Mengxiao was funny, "Melon rinds are edible. I once read in a book that there are some small countries with very little land and limited living space, so there is little land to grow vegetables and fruits. , especially this watermelon, so when they eat watermelon, they eat the pulp and rind together."

The "small countries" Xu Mengxiao mentioned were the Cherry Blossom Country and the Kimchi Country in later generations. Even watermelons were extremely rare at that time, which shows how rare they are now.

Nowadays, people who can afford to eat watermelon don’t need to eat the rind. Otherwise, if other people get the melon, it would be weird not to eat the rind.

But before she could finish her words, Li Erhu was so greedy that he gnawed the watermelon rind and swallowed it into his stomach. No one could stop him.

Xu Mengxiao twitched the corner of her mouth, "You can eat it, but it's not necessary. However, after peeling off the green skin on the outside, the white meat inside can be used to make pickles, which is also delicious."

When she said this, the Lu family naturally got busy, washing all the watermelon rinds without wasting any.

And according to Xu Mengxiao's instructions, remove the little red flesh left on the white meat, then peel it and cut it into pieces.

Seeing that Lu He also liked to eat this watermelon, Xu Mengxiao cut an extra piece of the sweetest part in the middle for him and cooked it for him in public.

How could Lu He refuse such a blatant preference? He just felt that the watermelon became even sweeter.

He eats slowly, but everyone can see his pleasure and enjoyment.

Everyone, "..." Partiality, naked partiality, how can it be, the love of a young couple, it's so sweet!

This night, everyone was busy, talking and laughing, and it was lively.

Xu Mengxiao cut the remaining half of the watermelon into small pieces, pounded the other half into juice, and added it to the two bowls of ice powder.

When the ice powder is ready, it has been scooped into the bowl, and grooves are made with a knife like tofu. "This way, the brown sugar juice will be poured over it later to make it more delicious."

The brown sugar juice has been boiled and slightly sticky. Xu Mengxiao also prepared other ingredients while waiting for the brown sugar juice to cool down.

Cut various kinds of preserved fruits produced in our own workshop into the size of raisins, sprinkle a small handful into each bowl, and sprinkle with some crushed peanuts and other accessories.

Such as dried osmanthus and some beautiful pink, yellow, and purple tiny petals left over from the scented tea Xu Mengxiao made before.

It makes these bowls of ice powder more beautiful and delicious.

Set off by the crystal clear ice powder, it's an eye-opener, and I can't wait to eat it.

At this time, Xu Mengxiao poured a small spoonful of brown sugar water on each one -

"Wow, it looks delicious. Can I eat it?" Xiaobao swallowed the saliva that was secreting like crazy.

"I'll add some other ingredients later."

Cooked red beans, mung beans, and fresh fruits that Lu Hai and the others picked from the mountains today.

There were also chopped hawthorn secretly taken out from the space. Anyway, there were too many ingredients and they didn't count many things, so Xu Mengxiao secretly added a little of her own.

Lu Hai and the others didn't notice it, but they didn't hide it from Lu He's eyes. His eyebrows twitched and he felt that she was too bold.

Naturally, he took the initiative to cover up for her.

In this way, Xu Mengxiao's ice powder became more and more abundant. With brown sugar as the base, the bowl was filled with ingredients.

While doing this, Xu Mengxiao used two watermelons to make the meal she just mentioned——

Coat it in flour and put it in a pan to make fried watermelon, just like fried yogurt, crispy and sweet.

Mash watermelon into juice, then add some ice powder to make jelly, one cup of fruit drink per person... watermelon fermented rice, watermelon flavored cake.

While she was busy, everyone finally got to eat the ice powder they had been longing for.

It was so smooth and refreshing that they were amazed. After finishing one bowl, they couldn’t wait to eat more bowls!

"It's not good to eat too much. Let's have some watermelon food. We don't need to prepare anything else tonight."

Finally, a watermelon was cut again, and a total of seven people gathered together. Everyone burped constantly after eating, and even Lu He felt a little full, so he took Xu Mengxiao outside for a walk to eat.

And told her the progress of the previous matter.

"It's okay." After hearing the specific explanation with his own ears, Xu Mengxiao was completely relieved and her expression relaxed.

"It's time to go back tomorrow. I've almost finished the things here, but there are more things over there." Xu Mengxiao sighed, there was still too much business, and he had done so much for himself in a short period of time. thing.

But there is a saying that goes: life is endless and struggle is endless.

Among them, two major issues are urgent matters. One is that her eldest sister was deceived by Lanxin Embroidery Workshop, and she must solve it when the time comes.

After that, the cooking competition that Ye Qiao prepared will begin. She will also select some useful apprentices and good chefs for training.

When Lu He came over this time, he also had two important things to tell her, "It's Lin Gui and Master Xu that you care about."

Of these two people, Xu Mengxiao, one worried about his safety and the other full of expectations, immediately asked: "What's going on?"
