After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

"Yes, there's nothing that can't be eaten. You can chop up the zucchini and wrap it in it and it's still edible. Whether it tastes good or not depends on how you season it."

Afterwards, I steamed another pot of eggplant and pepper stuffing, which was also delicious when pork was added.

"What kind of soup should we make?" asked Gui Niang.

"Tomato and egg soup, let's throw in some spinach. Let me go check first to see if there are enough eggs."

Xia Ran left the kitchen and came to the food room. Taking this opportunity, she quickly put some eggs out of the space.

The main house of Xia Ran's house has three rooms, located in the north, facing south. The one on the west side is a small bedroom for the child.

The room in the middle is the main room, also called the main hall. It is the largest room and was originally occupied by a couple. It is used for both living and entertaining guests. The room on the east is the kitchen.

The east row, from north to south, is a granary, a donkey pen, and a shed for storing farm tools and other miscellaneous items. This row of houses was built in a rather crude and simple manner.

The rafters and purlins we used were all cut and brought back from the mountains. Not only were they uneven in thickness, they were also not straight and looked ugly. At the time, I thought, as long as they worked, I would save money.

There is an open space on the west side, and there are a few apple trees planted against the wall, which are already bearing fruit.

It was only a few steps from the kitchen to the food room. I would just deal with it this time. If there was not enough later, I could just collect it in the village. I took a small basket, put some eggs in it and carried it over.

Gui Niang asked first: "Are there not many eggs left?"

"Well, these are all I have. They should be enough for this meal. After this afternoon, ask if anyone has any extras and buy some."

"Okay, I have some at home, I'll bring it to you."

"Sister-in-law, I have some at home too. I've saved a lot recently and plan to sell them for money."

When I heard the second son's wife say that she had saved a lot of eggs, I thought of what Jing said, that she suspected that she was not her biological daughter. When there is no one else around, I will talk to the second son's wife.

"Okay, bring it here. I'll give it the same price as others."

"it is good!"

They were busy making a big pot of egg soup. Worried that the soup was not thick enough, they added some flour and stirred it in.

"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are so good."

Gui Niang echoed: "We can make money by taking any of the skills that built our country."

"That's true. Hey, last night I heard from Lao Er and Jing Wa Zi that you can also make cold noodles, right? It's said to be very fragrant and delicious."

"Well, I plan to sell cold noodles with Gui Niang after I finish my recent busy period."

"This is fine, this makes money. The cold noodles seller only puts a few in the bowl, the quantity is pitifully small. It's all supported by bean sprouts, and it's 6 cents a bowl. But last year at the exchange fair, the price actually increased to 8 cents and 1 yuan. They make more money. I bought two bowls last year, and when I brought them back, each of us took two chopsticks and it was gone, and we didn't even get to taste it." The second son's wife sighed.

"Well, it's okay to earn some money."

"Sister-in-law, are you going to use the house you are building now to open a small shop?"

Xia Ran replied: "Well, there is no one in our village yet. I just happen to open one. It will be more convenient for everyone to buy things, and I can also earn some pocket money."

"Good idea. Normally, if we want to buy something, we either go to the supply and marketing cooperative or to the next village. The key is that the things in these two places are more expensive than each other. The people there have very bad tempers. People go there because they have no choice. If it were me, I wouldn't want to see their condescending faces that say you can buy or not."

"Well, don't worry, I will set the price reasonably and will not raise or jack up the price blindly." Just make a profit, why squeeze people dry?

"Then Madam, if I behave better, can I have some candy?" asked the yellow-haired girl.

The second son’s wife scolded him directly: “You are dreaming. I almost forgot to tell you that you are a little girl and you don’t go home for meals. You go to your aunt’s house every day to eat and drink. It’s endless. These few days are special, so I won’t tell you. If you come over again when you have nothing to do, I will beat you too.”

The little girl unconvincedly defended herself, "I helped, so I didn't eat in vain. If you don't believe me, ask my aunt."

"That's right. The food here is not that delicious. You need to work to earn the food. You can only eat if you work. She really helped me a lot. She is very hardworking."

Shitou chimed in: "Second sister-in-law, who said we eat for free? Jingwazi and I help my sister-in-law with work, so we are the ones who eat for free?"

You adults are so annoying. Why do you always say that we two eat for free? This is so unpleasant to hear.

"You are just insignificant people, and you do nothing but useless work. You are clearly just eating and drinking for free, but you still refuse to admit it." The second son's wife rolled her eyes in disdain.

The second son's wife's mouth is also quite speechless. A good thing becomes distorted when it comes out of her mouth, especially with her expression.

Don’t children have any dignity? Besides, there is nothing wrong with using labor to exchange for food, not to mention that it also has emotional value.

Xia Ran and a few others put the buns directly into a large bamboo basket, carried it out together, and placed it on the table in the yard.

The last few baskets of steamed buns were put into a large steamer and placed directly on the table outside. The buns in the large bamboo basket and steamer were piled high.

I scooped up the tomato and egg soup and placed it on another table. I thought there would be a rush for it.

In the end, no, everyone stared at the big meat bun, smelled the fragrance in the air, and tried their best to control their saliva. They wanted to say something to Xia Ran, but seemed too embarrassed to speak, so they hesitated and didn't do anything.

It was the second son who said, "Sister-in-law, everyone should take their share of the buns home so that the elderly and the young women can have a taste. Otherwise, they won't be able to eat them."

"Oh, sure, you guys can take whatever you want, but I don't have anything to put it in. Who can carry the bamboo basket and go from house to house to distribute the things?"

Xia Ran then asked: "How many people came today?"

"There are 31 people working outside in total." The number was reported accurately.

We steamed 9 trays in total today, with each tray holding about 35 pieces, which means there are about 315 pieces in total.

"Then give each of you 8, and divide them up as you see fit. The fillings of the buns are different, so take a little of each. As for the egg soup, when you go home, have your children bring a small basin and scoop it out. If there is any left, just make a big pot and share it out until it's all gone."

"Thank you, Jianguo's wife."

"thank you!"

Xia Ran smiled and said, "You're welcome. Take it."

She likes the human touch here, and she likes the customs and traditions of most families here who respect the elderly and love the young.

Of course, those who behave badly will not be allowed to come to their homes. After all, they are here to work, not to enjoy.

Gui Niang and Lao Er's family are all here, so there's no need to go back specially. You can just eat here.

Finally, everyone counted the buns and put them in the same basket for those who lived close to them. When they arrived at their respective homes, they took them back in batches.
