Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

"How can I accept payment for this? Brother Jiang has saved my life!"

"They pushed the money back and forth, and finally the uncle and nephew forced it on us, put the money on the counter, and ran away. When your sister-in-law chased them out, they were nowhere to be seen."

After saying this, Lin Qingxue took out some silver from his pocket and wanted to hand it to his grandfather Jiang Wuwen.

Grandfather Jiang Wuwen also tried to evade the offer, saying, "For so many years, you and your wife have been giving each other firecrackers, which is not right. Today's big firecrackers are very expensive! How can I not charge for them?"

"Brother, if you still consider me your younger brother, please accept it."

The two of them tried to refuse, and finally my grandfather Jiang Wuwen had no choice but to take the two taels of silver.

After An Yue entered the kitchen, she took out two plates and poured peanuts and red dates on them.

Then, light the fire under the stove and heat the pan, put the fried crispy fish made yesterday back into the pan, heat and fry until crispy.

After the crispy fish was heated and fried, An Yue put the things on the two plates in an orderly manner and prepared to take them to the main room.

A moment later, An Yue came from the kitchen, carrying a plate of crispy fish and a plate of peanuts and red dates to the main room and gently placed them on the dining table.

Grandfather stood up, made a "please" gesture, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, let's not just sit and chat, move to the dining table and sit on the stools, drink some wine and chat, wouldn't it be fun!"

After saying that, Lin Qingxue laughed and said, "Come on, come on, come on. I'll let you do whatever you want, brother."

Grandmother spread out one hand, made a 'please' gesture, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, sister-in-law, brother Hao, come and try the crispy fish made by Yueyue."

An Yue walked to her grandmother's side and whispered something in her ear. Her grandmother whispered a few words to her briefly, and finally smiled and nodded at An Yue.

Then, An Yue turned around and walked out of the main house and went straight to Wei's house.

The old couple picked up their chopsticks, picked up a piece of crispy fish and put it in their mouths, ready to taste it.

After chewing it for a few times, the couple said with surprise: "It's fresh, fragrant and crispy. Good, good, it tastes good!"

Lin Hao, who was sitting nearby, heard his grandparents praise the crispy fish after tasting it. He also picked up the chopsticks curiously, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Lin Hao nodded in surprise and said, "Delicious! Delicious!"

Lin Hao finished eating and was about to pick up the crispy fish with his chopsticks.

The old lady, Mrs. Zhong, hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Brother Hao..., don't be rude."

When you are a guest at someone else's house, no matter how delicious the food is, you cannot keep eating. Although they are not a wealthy family, the Lin family is worldly-wise and they still have to pay attention to etiquette.

Lin Hao licked the corner of his mouth, laughed and said coquettishly: "Grandma, this little crispy fish is so delicious! I want to try it again!"

Grandma smiled and said in a gentle voice: "It's okay, it's okay. It's rare that Haoge likes it. If he likes it, we can eat more."

The old lady, Mrs. Zhong, said a little embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, please don't blame me! Hao Ge'er is not usually so greedy."

Grandma smiled and said, "Brother Hao is still growing at this age, so it's normal for him to eat more."

The two women chatted with each other and laughed from time to time.

Grandfather Jiang Wuwen and Lin Qingxue each took a sip of wine. Jiang Wuwen laughed heartily and said, "Haha... Brother Lin, sister-in-law, our two families have known each other for many years, so don't be so reserved. If the child likes it, let him eat more."

An Yue cooked and Wei helped pass the firewood.

She thought about how many fish were left from the frying yesterday, so she picked the biggest one and made a simple grilled fish dish.

When drinking, you must make a snack to go with it, so let’s make a plate of fried peanuts.

The two dishes served to the guests were not very tasty. I rummaged through the cupboard and saw the wild boar meat head that I had cooked yesterday. I planned to make another dish of wild garlic braised pork.

Wei, who was sitting at the stove, suddenly said, "We only have so many ingredients at home. What kind of dishes can you make?"

An Yue crossed her arms and said, "Although we don't have much food at home, we have guests coming, so we have to think of a solution!"

Wei said dejectedly, "Although the Lin family is not a wealthy family, they are not poor people in the countryside. If they can't serve a few decent dishes on the table during the New Year, they will definitely be laughed at behind their backs."

An Yue was worried, and she was pouring cold water on him. An Yue sighed and said, "Aunt, you don't have to worry about this. Just help pass the firewood."

Wei snorted coldly and said nothing more.

An Yue thought that what Wei said just now didn't make sense. Although the Lin family was not a wealthy family, they were not poor either. They had to find a way to make a few decent dishes.

I thought about it over and over again, but I couldn’t figure it out.

An Yue couldn't help but complain in her heart: "I have the cooking skills but nothing can be done without rice!"

An Yue thought carefully about what ingredients were available at home.

If you have cabbage at home, you can make a dish of pickled cabbage with vinegar.

Turning around, I saw some yam dug from the mountain in the corner, and I could make another dish of stir-fried yam.

An Yue calculated carefully again. There were grilled fish, fried peanuts, twice-cooked pork with wild garlic, cabbage with vinegar, and stir-fried yam, which were only five dishes.

An Yue bit her lower lip and rolled her eyes. There were also ready-made crispy fish, so there were barely six dishes in total.

After An Yue made her plan, she said with satisfaction, "Okay! There are six dishes in total, maybe that's enough."

After thinking about the menu, An Yue was thinking about the order of making the six dishes. Wei suddenly frowned and said, "Yueyue, my aunt's lower abdomen is a little uncomfortable. I will go back to the room first. You can cook slowly!"

After Wei finished speaking, she stood up, stroked her belly, and walked out of the kitchen.

An Yue had already arranged the order of cooking, but Wei was unwilling to help pass the firewood, An Nian was not at home, and her grandmother was busy, so cooking became a little tricky.

The two old couples were chatting happily in the main room, and An Yue was the only one left in the kitchen. She had to prepare the vegetables, wash them, cut them, cook them, and even pass the firewood herself. What should she do?

The four people in the main room were chatting happily, and Lin Hao ate up all the crispy fish on the table.

After he finished eating the crispy fish, he felt bored for a while, so he walked out of the main house and looked around the yard.

At this time, An Yue was squatting at the door of the kitchen, scraping the yam skin with a kitchen knife. Lin Hao walked towards her slowly with curiosity.

Lin Hao squatted down and asked curiously: "Sister An Yue, what is this?"

An Yue raised her head and smiled: "This is mountain peony, also called yam."

Lin Hao nodded with an "oh" sound, seeming to understand.

Lin Hao smiled foolishly and said, "Oh...! By the way, Sister An Yue, the small...small crispy fish you made is really crispy and delicious."

He scratched his head sheepishly and whispered, "Hey, I ate them all."

An Yue said absentmindedly: "It's okay! If Brother Lin Hao likes it, just eat more."
