Aunt Wei nodded in agreement:

"My family will order two more boxes of frozen tofu this year. It tastes good with pickled cabbage, cabbage, or potatoes!"

Aunt Zheng replied:

"When I get back, I'll send a message to Uncle Nan Nan and ask him to make it and freeze it in advance!"

Zhong Wanwan was very touched, saying that tofu, dried tofu, fermented bean curd, and vermicelli were not worth much money.

That's a small amount. Aunt Zheng is giving this away, enough for the three siblings to eat for a whole winter. This amount is quite generous and not cheap at all!

Moreover, they genuinely treated them like their own children, giving them practical gifts and showing they had thought of everything for the three siblings!

Aunt Wei introduced Zhong Wanwan as follows:

"Your Aunt Zheng's family makes tofu, and her sister-in-law can make vermicelli!"

"Her elder brother and sister-in-law are both excellent cooks. Families who know them well ask you, Aunt Zheng, to order tofu and vermicelli from her elder brother's house every year!"

Zhong Wanwan revealed a greedy look and said:

"My aunt knows me well. My favorite dishes are braised pork belly with pickled mustard greens and frozen tofu, and braised pork with vermicelli!"

Pork belly stewed with pickled mustard greens and frozen tofu in winter is truly a delicacy.

If you also have a pot of pickled cabbage, boiled pork belly, and stewed glass noodles, life would be absolutely wonderful!

Xiao Baiyang played the straight man for Zhong Wanwan:

"Sis, is it only you who likes to eat that? I like it too!"

Wei Maisui laughed heartily:

"You probably like more than just frozen tofu and glass noodles, you also like pork!"

Who doesn't love pork? But at this time of year, who can afford to eat pork every day?

Even Zhong Wanwan's family, who had just received 10 chicks, only stewed one the next day when cleaning the chicks.

These past few days, Zhong Wanwan and Xiaobaiyang have been clamoring for another stew. Zhong Songbai said he would stew it after it snows, otherwise, before the New Year, these two gluttons would eat it all!

"Today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Zhong Wanwan said with a wave of her hand.

"I'll stew two chickens, add plenty of hazel mushrooms and glass noodles, and make two batches of flatbread. We'll eat them all at my house today!"

"Nannan, go and call Accountant Zheng. Maisui, go and inform Director Wei and the rest of his family!"

Aunt Wei and Aunt Zheng stopped Zhong Wanwan and said:

"One chicken is enough for stewing, why stew two at a time? Add more potatoes, it'll taste just as good!"

Zhong Songbai and Zhong Wanwan really thought of the same thing; they just went to get the cleaned chicken!

Upon hearing this, Zhong Songbai, unusually, joked:

"Auntie, don't be so polite. My older sister has been craving this chicken for days. It's a rare snowy day, and you've all come together. Let's stew two chickens and have plenty to eat!"

Seeing that Zhong Songbai had already taken out the chicks, Aunt Wei and Aunt Zheng stopped trying to persuade him. They took the chicks from Zhong Songbai and told him to rest. Aunt Wei smiled and said:

"You don't need to. I'll cook with your Aunt Zheng today!"

Aunt Zheng also rolled up her sleeves and said:

"I happen to have brought some firm tofu with me. Today, I'll make you chicken-scrambled tofu and stewed dried tofu!"

The last dish was put together by Zhong Wanwan; originally, Aunt Wei was going to chop some cabbage and make a cold dish!

Zhong Wanwan quickly brought over some peanuts from home and asked Aunt Wei to roast them!

Aunt Wei laughed and scolded her:

"Your aunt has spoiled you for nothing. When it comes to the real test, you're still on your Uncle Wei's side!"

Zhong Wanwan said with a grin:

"How could that be? I just wanted to eat them myself. I can't get the pine and cypress to fry properly. It takes Auntie's skill to fry the peanuts until they're fragrant but not burnt!"
