The Princess of Northern Land

"Sister, let me help." Lin Changting said happily. He likes to call Lin Zige his eldest sister and Lin Ziyin his elder sister.

"Well done." Lin Ziyin praised him with a smile.

"Help." Lin Yanzhi quickly expressed his stance.

Lin Ziyin praised him again with a smile, making the little guy laugh non-stop.

The disposal of the water was more troublesome. Lin Ziyin used salt and black flour to wash the large intestine and pig belly while Lin Zige couldn't see it. Then he put these things in boiling water and rolled them to remove the fishy smell, and then fished them out. After taking it out and cutting it, Lin Changting still asked Lin Changting to light the fire, put on the star anise and wait for it to be marinated.

Not long after, Lin Zige came back from sowing the vegetable seeds, so Lin Zige asked her to burn another pot, burn the fat, and finally put the lard in for later use.

"There's a lot of lard, it can be used for a while." Lin Zige breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the lard filling the jar.

Lin Ziyin didn't want to talk to her. Alas, the little girl's requirements were too low. She was obviously not on the same level as someone with great ambitions like her. She is not happy about eating meat and fat every day.

"We eat meat buns and tofu buns in the evening." Lin Ziyin said with a smile.

"Eat steamed buns." Lin Yanzhi nodded vigorously.

"Come on, have a taste." Lin Ziyin used a small bowl to serve the two children with some lard seeds, which is the residue left after fat meat is boiled in oil.

"Fragrant." Lin Changting ate it together and immediately praised with a smile.

"Eat." The little guy couldn't stop talking.

"Sister, try a piece." Lin Ziyin stuffed another piece into Lin Zige's mouth.

"It smells so good." Lin Zige said in surprise.

It turns out that when the family was particularly short of money, no matter how much they were willing to use lard for cooking, they would just use a small piece of fat and rub it on the side of the pot. But after just one night, they even ate meat.

Lin Zige glanced at Lin Ziyin with some gratitude.

Lin Ziyin was very generous. Even though Lin Zige objected, she still made meat buns and tofu buns with white bread.

Because she adds seasoning powder that she grinds into the stuffing, these buns smell full of flavor.

"It smells so good?" Lin Changshu smelled the fragrance as soon as he entered the door.

"The meat buns are delicious." The little guy quickly agreed and asked for credit, "Fire up the fire."

It means that he also helped look after the fire today.

"Good boy." The old man came in after washing his hands.

Guo Huiniang also looked at her son with relief.

"The food is ready, everyone is here to eat." Lin Ziyin said with a smile.

When the old man Lin Changshu and his wife came in, they saw a large plate of various meats on the dining table, with some pickled side dishes on the side. In the basket were big white and fat steamed buns and steamed buns, and even the bowls were full of meat. It's white rice porridge.

"So many?" Guo Huiniang couldn't adapt.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. With the income from tofu in the future, the family will not be short of food and clothing." Lin Ziyin knew what she was worried about, so he comforted her softly.

"Alas." Guo Huiniang quickly wiped away the tears on her face.

"Grandpa, I want to buy a flat-bottomed pot." Lin Ziyin said. "With the money from selling tofu tomorrow, I'll buy a pot first. If it's not enough, I'll borrow it from an acquaintance."

Lin Changshu and others couldn't help but stop eating steamed buns after hearing this.

"I plan to go to the temple fair in five days to make a small fortune, and I must have a flat-bottomed pot." Lin Ziyin explained with a smile.

"Oh, okay." The old man nodded and agreed.

"Hurry up and eat it while it's hot. Grandpa will have another one." Lin Ziyin handed another meat bun to the old man, "Brother and sister-in-law are also working hard. Eat more. We have to work at night."

"You eat too." Guo Huiniang was a little flattered, and she felt more like the joy of suffering after suffering.

This meal the Lin family had was the most sumptuous meal in the past, and also the most heartwarming meal.
