Shen Xue Ning said: "Then just keep going, transfer all the bean paste into the jar and everything will be fine."

Everyone took a break and then continued to work.

While she was working, Liu Juan called Shen Xue Ning: "Ning Ning, someone is hosting a banquet and needs 20 kilograms of bean paste. Let me deliver it right away. No one is home, please ask Yingying to come back and look after the house."

"Okay." Shen Xuening called Shen Yingying back, and they continued to prepare the bean paste.

Xi Danping asked, "Is your bean paste so popular?"

Shen Xue Ning asked: "What do you think of our bean paste?"

Xi Danping gave a high evaluation: "It's delicious. Your dishes are better than any other I've ever eaten."

Shen Xue Ning said: "That's it."

Xi Danping was very puzzled: "Your bean paste doesn't seem to be anything special, how come it tastes so good?"

Shen Xue Ning said: "The real stuff is already good."

Xi Danping smiled and said, "That's true."

……

Shen Xue Ning was busy at the bean paste factory until dark, but she still hadn't finished her work and had to come back to work tomorrow.

That’s it for now. Shen Xuening called everyone to go home for dinner.

After dinner, Shen Xue Ning returned to her room, chatted with her friends, and then went to bed.

The next day she got up very early, fed the cows first, then went home to eat. After eating, she immediately rushed to the bean paste factory and put the remaining bean paste into jars.

After working hard for a whole morning, it is finally done.

Next, clean the vat and brew the next batch of bean paste immediately after the workers come to work.

It took another afternoon to clean the vat, and Shen Xue Ning was busy at the bean paste factory that day.

Grandpa Shen helped Shen Xue Ning feed the cows. After Shen Xue Ning returned home, he ate directly and then went to check on the cows in the cowshed. It was a relatively relaxing day today.

When I returned to my room at night, I chatted with my friends again and then went to bed. It was a rare relaxing moment.

The next day is the third day of the New Year. Today's main task is to prepare for the banquet on the fourth day. Everyone gets busy early in the morning. After the chef arrives, everyone becomes even busier.

Kill chickens, ducks, and geese, and prepare various side dishes, ingredients, spices, etc.

Shen Xuening needed to feed the cows, so there wasn't much work assigned to her. She just had to help with some chores.

Taking some free time, Shen Xue Ning ordered a cake and invited a troupe to perform for a whole day the next day.

The troupe gave Shen Xue Ning face and came to set up the stage right after noon. This time the stage was particularly festive, specially set up to celebrate Grandma Shen's birthday, and the location was moved to Shen Da's house.

The Shen family's yard is quite spacious, so it is no problem to build a stage and accommodate the people from the entire village.

When the villagers saw the troupe coming, they were very envious. No family would host a banquet to invite the troupe. The Shen family was really too rich now.

Jiang Rui came to Shen Xuening's house and worked with Shen Yingying: "Yingying, did your elder sister hire a troupe?"

"Yes, isn't the stage being built?" Shen Yingying was a little excited. She had never watched a special opera before.

"That's great." Jiang Rui looked forward to it. "Yingying, did your elder sister make a lot of money?"

Shen Yingying did not answer directly: "Who told you that?"

Jiang Rui blinked her innocent eyes and asked tentatively, "Everyone says so. Don't you know?"

"I don't know." Shen Yingying said, "My eldest sister doesn't make much money. She just wanted to make grandma happy, so she hired the troupe. You think too much."

Jiang Rui said: "But your eldest sister's business is very good, it's impossible that she is not making money, right?"

Shen Yingying asked, "Building a factory doesn't cost money? Buying equipment doesn't cost money?"

Jiang Rui hesitated: "It seems so. Are those people just taking it for granted?"

Shen Yingying said: "You just take it for granted. Money is not that easy to make. It's just for publicity. It's not what you think at all."

Jiang Rui nodded: "I understand."

Shen Yingying emphasized: "Okay, don't say my elder sister made a lot of money. In fact, it's just enough to cover the cost."

Jiang Rui said: "I understand. I won't say it again in the future."

……

Shen Yingying whispered to Shen Xuening: "Sister, many people asked me how much money you made."

Shen Xue Ning asked: "What did you say?"

Shen Yingying is a smart girl: "I just said you are doing your best, I didn't say anything else."

Shen Xuening gave Shen Yingying an appreciative look: "Smart, you must not tell us how much money we made, otherwise it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. You must be low-key, especially when you have money."

Shen Yingying nodded solemnly: "I understand."

There were so many people asking Shen Xue Ning indirectly about how much money she made that the Shen family was fed up with the questions. Later, whenever they heard such questions, they simply pretended not to hear them. It was really annoying.

These people are so annoying. What does it have to do with them how much money other people make? Why do they come to find out?

……

After a busy day, all the things needed for the next day are prepared and we are just waiting to put the steamer on the steamer the next day.

The meaning of steaming the dishes is to put them in a steamer. It usually starts in the morning and is finished when the meal starts at noon. It is then served directly to everyone.

Shen Xue Ning pointed at the first bowl and asked, "What is this on top?"

Liu Juan explained: "This is baba meat, made with egg skin and lean meat. If the baba meat is well made, the steamed soup is very delicious and has an egg aroma."

Shen Xue Ning was a little curious: "So how is the cooking skill of this chef we hired?"

Liu Juan said, "It's OK. We've been doing it for decades. I asked him to make some more baba meat and put it in the freezer. When we want to eat it in the future, we can just take it out and steam it."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Let me take a look."

"Come, look here." Liu Juan took Shen Xue Ning to the freezer and pointed at the baba meat to Shen Xue Ning, "This is it, the surface is the egg skin."

Mix egg liquid, starch and seasonings, spread them into large pancakes in a pan, spread a thick layer of minced meat on the surface of the pancake, roll it up, and steam it to make Baba meat.

It sounds simple, but it really tests the chef's experience. Only a few chefs can make really delicious baba meat.

Shen Xue Ning smelled it and said, "It smells good."

Liu Juan smiled at Shen Xue Ning and said, "Of course. If it doesn't smell good, I won't keep it. I'll steam it for you when I have some free time."

Shen Xue Ning curled her lips happily: "Okay."

……

The next day, everyone got up early again, and the cook also came early to prepare the dishes for lunch.

As soon as Shen Baohong got up, he started playing music. When the music started, the atmosphere was created and the whole village became lively.

The children in the village would run over here after breakfast, grab peanuts, melon seeds and candies to eat, and they were very happy.

Close relatives and friends also arrived early, making it quite lively.

As the birthday girl today, Grandma Shen was dressed in new clothes, with a smile on her face. She came out of her house and went to Shen Xue Ning's house.

Liu Juan specially cooked a bowl of poached eggs for Grandma Shen to celebrate her birthday.
