Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

"Yes, yes, I heard about it too. I heard that you followed that agricultural envoy to work on ridge planting. Farming is indeed hard work, but I heard from my family that the harvest is good, an increase of 20% compared to previous years."

The woman was also from the village, but she married in the county and rarely went back.

I went back home to celebrate the holidays some time ago, and happened to catch the corn harvest. I helped cook for her for two days and was exhausted, but I was also very happy to see the yellow corn.

"It's all thanks to everyone's diligence, otherwise no planting method would work," Su Ziling smiled and said naturally, "Aunt, are you here to buy vegetables? Then you can try our chayote."

As they were talking, Su Ziling had already arrived in front of Bai Shu's stall. When he saw her, Bai Shu was a little confused.

"Oh! Is this melon from yours?"

"Yes, we planted the seeds shipped from other places. We tried it last year and it felt good, so we recommended that everyone plant it this year."

"The most important thing is that it has a high yield, good taste, and is delicious to eat. It can be used as a staple food or as a dish."

Hearing her say this, the woman immediately returned to the stall and said, "You said it's delicious, so it must taste good. But how do we eat it? This is the first time we've seen this melon, so we really don't know where to start."

Su Ziling moved the things down, pushed the cart behind him, and said to Bai Shu, "Uncle, please help me put up the pot and light the fire."

"Okay, okay!" Seeing her, Bai Shu seemed to have suddenly gained confidence for some reason.

"Don't be anxious, Auntie. Don't be anxious, everyone. Let's taste it together later. If it tastes good, buy some. If it doesn't taste good, then don't buy it. By the way, I will teach you how to make it."

After hearing about how to teach cooking, many people became interested.

This is a free recipe, it would be a shame not to take a look at it, especially since I heard that she runs a restaurant, you must take a look at it.

If you run a restaurant, the food you cook must be great.

Seeing that they had really started a fire, everyone stopped and asked the woman questions instead of leaving.

"Big sister, from what you guys just said, do you know her?"

"Yes, she owns the Su Ji restaurant and the mushroom hotpot restaurant."

"Ah? She's the one who drove it?"

"Yeah, isn't she amazing? She's a little girl. I met her two years ago. At that time, she sold tofu here. It was the green tofu in Su Ji Restaurant. It was delicious. We often bought from her."

"Her cooking skills, you can just eat it without worrying about it. If she says it tastes good, it must be good."

Everyone was already there to watch the show, and after hearing her words, they became even more curious.

I saw her light a fire and pour water into the pot. After the water boiled, she put the washed and cut bitter melon into pieces and put it in to cook, adding some oil and salt.

There was chayote cooking in the pot. She put a steamer in the pot, cut the chayote into strips and steamed it in the pot. When the chayote strips at the bottom were cooked, the chayote strips at the top would be raked.

After taking out the chayote, she heated up the oil in a pan and stir-fried some chayote shreds, and then stewed some chayote slices with drunken bean sauce.

While everyone was chatting, her three dishes and one soup were already ready, and the aroma of stewed chayote filled the air.

She took the chopsticks and handed them to everyone. "Come on, everyone, try it. This chayote is easy to prepare and you won't get tired of it no matter how you eat it. You can cook it by boiling, steaming, stir-frying or stewing."

When she was frying just now, many people couldn't help but smell the aroma. Now when they heard her say that it was time to taste it, everyone didn't hesitate and each took a pair of chopsticks to taste the stew first. Its aroma was the most overbearing, probably because of the drunken bean paste.

I tried the stewed one and then the stir-fried one. The stir-fried one was lighter and crispier, and you could still taste the sweetness of the chayote.

Finally, it is boiled. The taste is different from stir-frying. The boiled one is crispy and melts in a sip. The fragrance of the chayote is also very strong, and even the soup is sweet.

Finally, everyone looked at the steamed one, but no one touched it.

"Tear off the skin of the steamed one, then break a chili pepper and dip it in water, and eat it with the dip." As she said this, she dipped one herself and handed it to Yaya, who was already drooling with greed.

“I think it tastes good even without dipping.”

"I think so too, but the taste is different after dipping it. This melon is really delicious. Little girl, how much do you sell this melon?"

After tasting the bitter melon made by Su Ziling, many people thought it was delicious and came over to surround the stall.

Bai Shu was so excited that he said, "One penny and two ounces..."

"One penny each," Su Ziling interrupted him quickly, "Look, ladies and gentlemen, our melons are big and juicy, not even as big as those with bee eyes. One melon is enough to stir-fry for a bowl of soup, enough for three or four people to have a meal, and two for a large group of people can also be enough for a meal. If you have bones at home, you can make some bone soup, and the melons cooked in bone soup are more delicious."

I thought that they only cost three cents a bundle for bamboo shoots, and a bundle of peeled bamboo shoots was enough to stir-fry a bowl of melon. This melon was fresh and delicious, and the cooking method was also simple.

One cent each, and one is enough for a meal. It’s much more cost-effective than bamboo shoots.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes lit up, "Give me three."

"I want four."

"Two, two."

……

The scene suddenly became lively, leaving Bai Shu and his daughter stunned and unable to react.

Su Ziling took the money and handed them the melons, "Uncle, don't just stand there, help me."

"Hey, hey, here we come."

Bai Shu came to his senses and helped collect the money and pack the melons. Even Yaya knew to help pick out the melons to make it easier for everyone to take.

In the blink of an eye, all the bitter melons that Bai Shu carried were sold out. Many people were disappointed because they hadn't bought any yet.

"Little girl, do you still have this melon? We didn't buy any."

"Yes, yes, everyone can come back tomorrow. It will still be at this location tomorrow, but we can only carry two loads each time. First come, first served."

Everyone gradually dispersed. Of course, many people asked Su Ziling where to get the dipping sauce and drunken bean sauce. Su Ziling didn't expect that everyone would want to buy them.

"Su Ji Restaurant, if you need it, you can go there. They sell it there."

I only started making drunken bean paste last year. We harvested a lot of beans, but we couldn’t eat them all by selling soy milk and tofu pudding. So I thought of drunken bean paste, and since we had a lot of beans, Su Ziling made more.

I didn't expect that this accidental creation would actually open up a sales channel. The preparation method of this drunken bean paste is similar to that of dry bean paste.

The only difference is that drunken bean paste does not need to be pounded. Instead, a large amount of shredded ginger and white wine need to be added during mixing. After fermentation, the bean paste will have a strong aroma of wine, so it is called drunken bean paste.

It can be used as a side dish for porridge, or fried in oil as a side dish for rice, or used to stew various dishes.

Seeing that everyone liked it, she thought she could make more this year.

After everyone had left, Su Ziling began to pack up her stall, putting the pots and pans on the cart, and even swept the stove ashes into a sack to take back.

Bai Shu was carrying an empty flower basket, holding Yaya's hand, and said a little awkwardly, "It's really thanks to you today, otherwise I would have to carry it back intact."
