There are many people coming in the evening. In addition to the existing people in the family, there are two sisters, two brothers-in-law, and their children, totaling more than a dozen people.

So there are a lot of dishes to prepare, and some must be prepared in advance, especially kelp, scallops, dried abalone, and dried sea cucumbers, which need to be soaked in advance.

In addition, the fish balls she wanted to make were also quite labor-intensive and had to be made in advance.

I looked at the time and it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. It was time to start preparing.

She first put the mackerel into warm water to thaw it, then cut the thawed mackerel into two halves with a knife, braised one half, and removed the other half to make fish balls.

Fish balls are not made entirely of meat. If you want the fish balls to be chewy, you have to add an appropriate amount of starch during the production process.

During this process, you need to be very patient and avoid fish bones. However, swordfish has relatively few small bones, so it is relatively simple to handle.

There was no meat grinder at that time, so it had to be chopped manually, which was relatively troublesome.

Thinking of the meat grinder, Lin Siya thought that this kind of small household appliance should be relatively simple to make, and there was a gap in the domestic market. It was a good business opportunity, and she could mention it to Fu Sinian later.

When the snow-white fish balls floated in the pot, the two old people exclaimed in surprise.

The grandmother and the great-grandmother were helping out in the kitchen and sent their grandson away to accompany the two old men.

The two people watched the fish balls being made from beginning to end. At the beginning, they didn't know what their granddaughter-in-law wanted to do. After all, the two old people had never seen such a thing. Seeing Lin Siya chopping the fish meat into paste and stirring it constantly, the two people were very curious.

Later, Lin Siya said that fish balls made from fish meat have no bones and can be eaten by children without any worries. The two of them became interested.

When the fish balls are cooked, they will float to the surface. Lin Siya scooped up all the fish in the pot and placed them on a large plate.

The prepared fish balls can be kept for several days in such cold weather. If you want to keep them for longer, you can also fry them in oil.

The finished fish balls are delicious whether they are put into soup or stir-fried.

She found a few small bowls, scooped a few fish balls into each bowl, and prepared to taste them.

"Come on, grandma, try it and see how it tastes."

In fact, the two old people had been craving for the fish balls for a long time. The snow-white fish balls looked delicious, but they felt embarrassed. They were old, so why were they still so greedy?

Seeing the bowl handed over by their granddaughter-in-law, the two men couldn't resist the temptation.

The fish balls are soft, tender and chewy, full of freshness, and are really delicious.

"Xiao Ya, these fish balls are so delicious, aren't they? They are so tender and smooth, and there are no bones at all. Even an old woman like me with almost all my teeth falling out can eat them." Grandma fell in love with these fish balls at once. They were so tender and delicious, and most importantly, they didn't have any fishy smell at all, only the freshness of fish meat.

"That's right! It's delicious!" Grandma also praised it unanimously.

Lin Siya also tasted it herself and found it tasted really good. Although it was not as delicate as what she had made before, she had used tools at that time. Now she chopped the fish meat bit by bit by herself, and the taste was already very good.

Lin Siya poured three more bowls and prepared to take them to her grandparents and Fu Sinian in the study to taste, and they also received unanimous praise.

Especially my grandfather, he loved eating fish when he was young, but he was impatient and had no patience when eating fish. He was often easily choked by the fish bones. After a while, he no longer liked eating fish.

In addition, as he gets older, his spleen and stomach functions decline, he often has no appetite and is not interested in many foods. However, the fish balls today are really to his liking and completely satisfy his love of eating fish. Moreover, there are no bones at all, so he no longer has to worry about shark fin problems.

The most important thing is that fish balls are very easy to digest and very friendly to elderly people like them.

After more than an hour of busy work, the main dishes were basically ready and it was almost five o'clock. At this time, Mrs. Fu and Aunt Wang also came back carrying large and small bags.

It turned out that the two of them were buying bedding for their wedding. In addition to quilts, they also bought a lot of miscellaneous items, all of which were small items to be used on the wedding day and things with good meanings.

Looking at the expressions of the two people, they didn’t seem tired at all, but rather very excited.

Before 6:00, people started coming to the house one after another.

The first one to come back was Mr. Fu. Maybe because of his long-term military service, Mr. Fu looked a little serious, but his face looked very similar to Fu Sinian, and he was trying hard to force a smile.

"Hello, Comrade Xiaoya, welcome."

"Hello, Dad." Lin Siya was not embarrassed at all, but was very sweet.

Seeing that Lin Siya was not afraid of him at all, Mr. Fu breathed a sigh of relief. He then took out a big red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Lin Siya's hand. This action was exactly the same as when Mrs. Fu and others stuffed a red envelope into his hand yesterday.

Lin Siya didn't hesitate and accepted it directly. This was a red envelope for the new daughter-in-law. If she didn't accept it, it would be a bit of an insult to my Fu family.

After feeling the thickness of the red envelope, Lin Siya had an idea in her mind. The red envelopes given to her by the four elderly people in the family and her parents-in-law made her a small fortune.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door. After the door opened, the first people to run in were four boys of different sizes.

"Grandma, Grandma!"

"Grandpa!"

"Great grandfather, great grandmother!"

"Great-grandmother, great-grandfather!"

…

These four children should be the ones born to Fu Sinian’s two sisters. I heard him say before that his two sisters each gave birth to two boys.

Following closely behind the child came two men and two women, who should be Fu Sinian’s two sisters and brother-in-law.

Lin Siya finally understood why Fu Sinian looked so good. It must be a family inheritance.

The two elder sisters are very beautiful. Even though they are married and have children, they still look graceful and elegant.

"This is our sister-in-law, right? Hello, I'm the eldest sister in the second grade, my name is Fu Silan."

Fu Silan saw the girl standing in the living room at a glance, and finally understood why his brother, who had high standards, fell in love with her. It turned out that he didn't look for a partner before because those people were not pretty enough.

However, she also fell in love with this girl at first sight. Don’t ask why, the reason is that she also likes good-looking people.
