Seeing Su's mother defending her, the others followed suit. Naturally, those people didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of upsetting the host.

Everyone helped to return the borrowed tables, stools, pots, pans, and other utensils.

Whoever lives nearby can take the belongings away when they leave, and if there are those that cannot be taken away, Su Ziling and the others will help deliver them.

But in a short while, the things in the yard had been almost cleaned up.

Looking at the leftovers in the kitchen, Su's mother was so worried that her face wrinkled.

"Mother, what are you doing?"

Su Ziling came back from delivering the pots and pans, his face covered in sweat. He had just poured a glass of water when he saw Su's mother combining the leftovers.

"How are we going to eat all these leftovers?"

"It's so hot, if we eat tonight, it will probably go bad tomorrow, but we can't eat much in one meal."

After three days of feasting in a row, to be honest, I'm a bit sick of it. When I eat now, the meat dishes are not as popular as Su Ziling's pickles.

"What's left?" Su Ziling put down the cup and walked over.

"There's still some steamed pork with rice flour and a large bowl of pickled fish, some stir-fried pork, and the chayote squash we picked is piled up in the corner. It's still tender, but it will wilt in two days. There's so much leftovers that we won't be able to eat them in the short term."

"Let me see what else I can find."

Su's mother simply moved out all the leftovers and placed them on the table and stove, making them more visible.

"By the way, how do we eat that basin of pig blood? There are still a few bowls of fried sour pork left from the day before yesterday. We didn't eat them yesterday or today, but there is still half a basin of raw pig blood."

"Let's fry them together." Su Ziling said after thinking for a while.

"Ah?" Su's mother was stunned. "We can't eat this even if we fry it. We can't keep it in this weather. It's not winter now. It can be kept in the jar for a few months."

"It will go bad if I don't fry it. So I'll fry some and send some to my third uncle, fourth uncle, Aunt Liu, Aunt Ji and the others. One bowl for each family is enough. After all, they have been busy helping me with the cooking for so many days."

"Especially Aunt Liu's family. They've moved all the tables and chairs here, as well as the pots and pans. I even broke a bowl when we were having dinner yesterday. I'll remember to compensate them later."

When Su's mother heard this, she simply sat down and said, "Okay, I'll light a fire for you."

The mother and daughter were cooking in the kitchen, chatting as they cooked, and in passing they mentioned the incident of those people stirring up trouble just now.

Mother Su snorted softly, "These people are so ignorant. Do they think I'm someone who can easily be persuaded by just a few words?"

"She's always causing trouble. No wonder she doesn't get along with her mother-in-law. She's causing chaos at home."

Su Ziling smiled, "Okay, mother, if what she said is wrong and you are unhappy, just fight back. If you don't want to pay attention to her, just ignore her. Don't be angry, or you will hurt yourself. Besides, we only need to know what sister-in-law is like, why should we explain so much to her."

There were some preserved vegetables and meat left, so she poured them directly into the sour pork. The white slices of meat were more popular and she had almost finished them. There were still two bowls of minced meat left, and Su Ziling did not keep them either, but fried them together with the sour pork.

"I'm not angry, I just don't like that person very much." Seeing her pouring her few leftovers into the stir-fry, Su's mother asked, "Is this okay?"

"Of course, you can eat meat when you eat the sour wangzi. It's not much. Each family gets one bowl. If there are many people, they can probably finish it in two meals. They won't even have time to wait for it to go bad."

As soon as the sour wonton came out of the pot, Su Ziling scooped it directly into the bowl, one bowl for each family, exactly eight bowls.

Put the rest in a small bowl and keep it for yourself.

Looking at the bowls on her stove, Su's mother scooped a ladle of water into the pot and asked, "Why are you scooping so many bowls?"

"We have to give to our third and fourth uncles, Aunt Liu, Aunt Ji, Uncle Yonghe's family, and Uncle Yongan's family. Since Uncle Yongan's family has been given, we naturally cannot miss out on the clan leader and the village chief."

Su Ziling started to distribute other dishes while talking, "There's a lot of steamed pork with rice flour left, give us more."

Mother Su helped to get a few bowls. "I like it very much. Even if I don't have rice, I can be full just by eating the steamed pork with rice flour. Especially the potatoes, they are too starchy. I must plant more next year."

Mother Su said as she picked up a piece of potato with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. "Leave some more. If you drop it into the well later, it can last for two days."

Seeing that she really loved it, Su Ziling left some more for her, "Okay, I'll leave some more for you."

The steamed pork with rice flour was just steamed this morning. The pork belly was cut into slices, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes were cut into thick slices. It's a pity that there is no lotus root, otherwise it would taste better with some lotus root.

Coat all the ingredients with fried noodles and fennel, mix well and steam them directly.

She made the fried noodles herself, using glutinous rice and white rice, with more glutinous rice. After it turned yellow, she ground it into powder, added salt, pepper, cardamom powder, star anise powder and amomum powder, and finally added fennel sprouts.

Fennel sprouts are the essence and must be added. Chop the green fennel sprouts and add them directly into the mixture and mix well. It is not only delicious but also enhances the flavor.

The potatoes were also dug freshly. Seeing that the potatoes had already bloomed, she pulled out a few. There were quite a lot of potatoes. She didn't know if it was because of the change of location or if this place was more suitable for their growth, but the potatoes were much larger than the seeds she brought back.

It's just that it's still a little tender, so you have to wait a few more days before digging it up.

After all the dishes were divided, Su Ziling began to distribute the bitter melons, thinking that each family would have two or three, which would last for two meals.

“Oh my!” Mother Su exclaimed when she saw her holding the chayote. “I was so busy this morning that I didn’t even think of asking your eldest brother and the others to take some chayote back to eat.”

"Yes, I packed a dozen for them. I'll send more over later when more are ripe."

The chayote melons were counted and put directly into the backpack, and the other vegetables were put into food boxes and baskets. One basket could only hold seven or eight bowls if stacked up. Seeing that it could not hold all the food, Su's mother went to find two more baskets.

"I'll go with you. You'll have to make two trips alone."

Thinking of his uncle and aunt still being there, Su Ziling shook his head and said, "You can talk to your uncle and them at home. I'll let Twenty go with me."

Su's mother pretended to be silent while saying, "Twenty disappeared early. After dinner, she followed Xiao Lu..."

The word Lu came out of her mouth. Fortunately, Su's mother reacted in time and added a word, "Yan went out, so she said she was going out for a walk."

"Then please call Uncle Yonghe for me. He is free."

Yesterday was a holiday, so the sweet potato workshop stopped for a day, and it resumed operation early this morning.

"That's fine, you pretend first, I'll go and shout."

Thinking that Li Dazhui and his friends had come with great difficulty, Su's mother also wanted to chat with them more.

Su Yonghe came very quickly. As soon as Su Ziling finished packing the last basket, he trotted into the house, "Xiaoqing? Are you looking for me?"

"Yeah," Su Ziling smiled and pointed at the basket, "There are too many dishes. Let's share them. Otherwise, they will go bad tomorrow in this weather. Help me carry two baskets. If there are any left, we can share two bowls each. I hope you don't mind."

Su Yonghe nodded, "Give me the backpack as well, you can carry two baskets."

Su Yonghe first took the backpack, then picked up two baskets, grinning, "Why are you disliked? These are all meat dishes. Look, there is a lot of meat in there. Who would dislike meat? If they don't want it, you can give it all to me."

As he said this he also laughed out loud.

The two of them went out and first went to Liu Guilan's house to share. They were given two bowls of vegetables, a little bit of everything, and three chayote melons.
