Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

Liujiacun, the home of my second uncle Liu Yongde.

After dinner, her daughter Yuying was doing embroidery in the house.

Her mother, Mrs. Gao, said that a matchmaker was going to come to her house in the next few days to propose marriage. The groom’s family was the eldest son of a bank owner. If he could get married, his future life would be worry-free.

However, the family did not have enough money saved. Both Liu Yongde and Mr. Gao hoped that their daughter would marry well so that she could have a good life in her husband's family and help their son Liu Ziqun.

The two elders actively prepared money. Originally, Ruifeng Restaurant's food supply was very good, but now that the restaurant has been closed down, this fixed source of income has been cut off.

"Mom, Dad, I will embroider a few more handkerchiefs and sell them to the embroidery shop to make up for the money." My daughter Yuying is good at needlework and is also a beautiful woman.

Mrs. Gao felt sorry for her daughter and said, "I see that you have been embroidering day and night recently, and your eyes are almost broken. What a beautiful pair of eyes! You can't be too tired."

Mr. Gao never let his daughter do farm work on weekdays, but kept her in a boudoir, saying that she would marry a good family and not be allowed to appear in public.

Yuying rubbed her eyes and said, "Mom, why don't I go find a job in the embroidery room and stay at home all day and get bored!"

Yuying was envious of Mao Xi's family for opening a shop in Lihua Town, but none of her family had her cooking skills, so they couldn't open it at all. Last time, she secretly learned to make fruit wine, but it ended up ruining the diners' stomachs and almost losing money.

Mrs. Gao touched her daughter's tender hands and sighed: "It's better for my father and I to go to the market. We should grow more food in the fields in the future. Hey! That Ruifeng Tower can be closed no matter what."

"Ah Miao is also very lucky. He was sold to Nanzhou, but he still came back safely!" Yuying was very jealous of this cousin. She was not as handsome as herself, but she had a pair of skillful cooking hands.

Yuying suddenly remembered that her family was harvesting grain recently. There was a kind of grain with yellow beans growing on sticks that she had never seen before.

"Mom and Dad, it seems that there are yellow grain sticks planted in her field that are about to be harvested. We can go to her field tomorrow to find an opportunity to pick one and plant it."

The next morning, Mao Xi, Mu Zhiyuan, and Lu Da were harvesting corn cobs and rice. They had finished harvesting all the corn in the morning.

The second uncle's arrival was unlucky. There were always people in the field, so Liu Yongde walked away. Mao Xi saw his second uncle staring at his field not far away, and guessed that he was going to steal peppers like last time, and he must be eyeing his corn.

She brought the corn back to the yard, washed a few stalks and steamed them, and gave them to everyone to eat while she was taking a break from harvesting rice in the afternoon.

In the evening, the second aunt Gao pretended to pass by her own field again and wandered around.

Before the millet was cut, Mao Xi deliberately scattered half of the cooked corn in the field before returning home.

The next day, when Mao Xi went to harvest rice again, she saw that all the corn kernels in the field had disappeared, and she knew that her second uncle's family had been fooled.

"Ah Shu, what are you snickering about?" Mu Zhiyuan asked in confusion when he saw Shu Xi still snickering while cutting the grains with a sickle.

Mao Xi leaned into Mu Zhiyuan's ear and quietly told him about scattering cooked corn in the fields.

"In a few days, we will secretly go to my second uncle's house to have a look. He will definitely be angry."

When she thought that her second uncle and his wife would find out that they were being teased, Mao Xi snickered again.

Four days later, the second uncle's family finished dinner and stared blankly at the corn kernels in the basin.

"Auntie, it's been four days. The corn should have sprouted long ago, right? Didn't you apply enough fertilizer?" Yuying asked.

"It shouldn't be. It's sprinkled with water every day. I even raised it in a flower pot first and exposed it to the sun every day!" Mrs. Gao was also puzzled.

"How about I ask Grandma, she might know the reason."

Yuying ran to Ah Nai's house, called her over, and asked her why the seeds didn't germinate.

Ke came to his second uncle Yongde's house and stared at two or three pots of ungerminated corn. He looked at them again and again and shook his head.

Finally, she dug out the seeds, became furious after watching it, and hit her son on the back of the head.

"These seeds are cooked, how can they germinate? Where did you buy the seeds? Go to the store to exchange them for them."

Mrs. Gao said: "Mom, I didn't buy this, I picked it from my hometown!"

"You're such a useless wife, you don't even know you're being tricked!" After saying that, he took off his cloth shoes and hit Mr. Gao on the back.

"Mom! Don't hit me. I just want to try to plant a seed. Who knew that damn girl would throw cooked seeds in the field?"

Faintly hearing the noise in the second uncle's house, Mao Xi and Mu Zhiyuan climbed to the wall and peeked into the house secretly.

Seeing the stepmother teaching her second aunt a lesson made Mao Xi laugh out loud.

The sound reached her second uncle's house from the wall, and Yuying saw Mao Xi lying on the wall.

"Mom, Ah Shu did it on purpose." After saying that, he pointed at Shu Xi who was lying on the wall.

"Brother Mu, let's go quickly!" After seeing the excitement, Shui Xi quickly climbed down the wall and ran back home.

"You did it on purpose!" Yuying rushed to the door, but Shu Xi had already run away.

"Don't ever think about going to her house to steal those weird and unseen grains to plant in the future. I know you are eager to save Ayu's dowry." After speaking, Ke went into the house and took a A silver hairpin and a pair of silver bracelets were given to Gao.

"Mom, this is your dowry!" Mrs. Gao was surprised and anxious. This mother-in-law is usually the stingiest.

"This is my dowry for Ayu. Fortunately, the banker's son has fallen in love with our Ayu. Are you afraid that you will not have a good life in the future? If you can really get married, Ayu, remember to give me the right gold bracelet in the future."

Yuying hurriedly put away the silver hairpin and bracelet and said, "Thank you grandma, I will definitely honor you in the future."

Second uncle Liu Yongde squatted aside in a daze. He was worried about the crops in the field. Since the paddy fields were converted into vegetable fields, there was no millet harvest. The green leafy vegetables in season were all made into sauerkraut, and the rest were rotten. into the ground.

"Master, wait for the matchmaker to come and hire someone. When the bride price comes, why don't we open a shop too?"

"Are you interested in the restaurant in Ruifeng Tower? I advise you not to think blindly. Whoever opens that restaurant will be unlucky. Don't lose all your money."

Mrs. Gao shook her head and said that she didn't want to buy a restaurant, but wanted to rent a small shop to sell scones. She knew that her cooking skills were average, but she still had some skills in selling breakfast.

Liu Yongde still frowned and said: "We'll wait until the matchmaker comes. That's all in the future. Now let's think about whether we can sell those jars of sauerkraut!"

When Mao Xi and Mu Zhiyuan returned to the courtyard, Lou Laner stepped forward and asked, "Where have you been, so happy?"

"It's okay. Have fun tonight. I'll fry some broad beans for everyone."

Soak the broad beans in water and wash them first, then put them into the water and add salt, soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, dried chili peppers, and garlic. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for a quarter of an hour. When the skin cracks, take out, drain, and add Dry fry in a pot over low heat.

After Mao Xi fried it, he called his neighbor Chun Sheng over to have supper together.

Chun Sheng gnawed broad beans and reported to Ma Xi that peppers had been selling well recently, but unfortunately he didn't grow much in his field. He heard that Aunt Baozhu didn't grow sweet potatoes. Apart from rice, she only grew peppers, which sold for a lot of money at the market.

Chili peppers were introduced from Mao Xi, but currently only spicy hot pot and barbecue use chili peppers in her restaurant, and they are not completely popular. Could it be that other restaurants and food shops have developed other spicy dishes?

Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated!
