Li Yun watched Sanbao pull Xiaohua into the house, and she also went to the kitchen to cook tonight's dishes.
There are many people having dinner tonight, including Shangguan Feiyun, Xiaogu and Xiaohua.
Xiaohua and Xiaogu, in particular, are malnourished and should be fed with some nutritious dishes.
First wash the lean meat, cut it into pieces, stew it in a pot, and add red dates, wolfberries, ginseng and other medicinal ingredients to make the soup.
Then take the pork belly, wash it, cut it into pieces and set aside. Tonight, make a braised pork belly and a braised pork belly. Take out the spices you will use from the space and set them aside.
Take out a rabbit from the space, boil water and pluck the hair, chop it into pieces and put it on a plate for later use. Make a cold rabbit tonight.
Take out a pig's trotter, clean it, chop it into a large piece, use it to make sweet and sour pork trotter, and take out a bottle of sweet vinegar from the space.
"Sanbao, go to the vegetable garden and pick some vegetables." Li Yun planned to make another vegetable and asked Sanbao to go to his own vegetable garden to pick vegetables.
"Okay, mother." After saying this, Sanbao was about to walk out of the house to get a basket to pick vegetables.
"Sanbao, let your aunt go. Sanbao is still young, there is no need to pick the vegetables." Chen Mei quickly stood up to stop Sanbao from picking the vegetables.
"Aunt, no need. These little things are usually done by my elder brother and I. It's not dangerous at all in our own vegetable garden. Aunt must be tired after walking such a long way. You should rest at home." Sanbao ran out of the house quickly, picked up the basket and was about to leave.
"Sanbao, wait for big brother and second brother." Dabao and Erbao also stood up to chase their sister.
Chen Mei was about to follow when Qin Lanlan stopped her: "Don't worry, Dabao and his two siblings usually do it together. The vegetable garden is right behind you, so it won't be dangerous." Qin Lanlan was not worried at all. As rural people, they had helped their families with some simple things since they could walk.
"Mom, let me help my sister-in-law cook. It will take her a long time to cook by herself." Chen Mei couldn't sit still. In the past, when she went back to her parents' home, she and her mother would cook together.
She didn't have to do anything today, and she felt like a freeloader.
For someone who is always talking, if she doesn't have to do anything, she will feel anxious and restless.
"Come on, Mom will go to the kitchen with you to help Yun'er cook." Qin Lanlan stood up and pulled Chen Mei to the kitchen to help Li Yun cook.
"Mom, why are you here, aunt?" Li Yun was making braised pork when he saw Qin Lanlan and Chen Mei come in, so he asked.
"Sister-in-law, my mother and I are here to help you. Let's see if there is anything we need to do. Just let me know." Chen Mei said to Li Yun as she looked at the kitchen where many ingredients were already prepared.
"No need. The kitchen is hot. You and your daughter should go back to the room and talk. You haven't been here for so long. You must have a lot to say to your mother. I can handle it." There are a lot of ingredients that need to be taken out from the space. It is inconvenient for them to stay here, so let's send them away.
"Yun'er, why did you cook so many dishes today? We can't finish them." Qin Lanlan was surprised when she saw the ingredients in the kitchen. It was just because of her daughter and Xiaohua, so there was no need for so many dishes.
"Yes! Sister-in-law really doesn't have to cook so many dishes just for my mother and me. My mother and I can just keep it simple." Chen Mei didn't expect that her sister-in-law would be so kind to her and her daughter and cook so many dishes for them. She was deeply moved.
"No, on the one hand it's because my aunt and Xiaohua are back, and I want to nourish them.
On the other hand, we have a distinguished guest coming today, so we need to cook more dishes." Li Yun saw that they had misunderstood and quickly explained.
"Dear guest, who is it?" Qin Lanlan asked Yun'er quickly when she heard that a distinguished guest was coming. After she knew who it was, she could see what else needed to be prepared.
"Mom, do you remember what I told you about encountering a wild boar in the mountains and being rescued by a man? This distinguished guest today is my savior. I met him on the way back and invited him to dinner tonight." Li Yun told Qin Lan that the distinguished guest was his savior.
"My savior, Yun'er, why didn't you tell me earlier so that I could prepare a thank-you gift. Is it too late to prepare it now?" Qin Lanlan started thinking about preparing a gift when she heard that it was Yun'er's savior.
When she first heard Yun'er say that she encountered a wild boar in the mountains and almost died, she was almost scared to death. Later, when she heard that a man killed the wild boar and saved Yun'er's life, she wanted to prepare a gift to thank him.
But Yun'er said that the other party lived in the deep mountains and they couldn't get in at all, so she gave up.
Now that she heard that her savior was coming to dinner, she started to get nervous again, thinking about what gift she should prepare, and kept pacing back and forth in the kitchen.
"Mom, what savior? What's going on?" Chen Mei didn't know that Li Yun was in danger, and was surprised by the sudden appearance of a savior.
"Yes, you don't know that your sister-in-law is in danger. Mother didn't tell you." Qin Lan remembered that her daughter didn't know that Yun'er was in danger a few days ago, so she told Chen Mei everything about Li Yun going into the mountains.
Chen Mei was also shocked and terrified after the quarrel. She had never expected her sister-in-law to be so bold, daring to go into the mountains alone. At the same time, she admired her for fearlessly pursuing her life. She was also very grateful to the man who saved her sister-in-law. Without her sister-in-law, her parents and three nephews and nieces would have no idea what they would have done.
"Mom, there's no need to prepare any gifts. I've already prepared everything." Li Yun saw Qin Lan pacing back and forth anxiously, feeling dizzy from walking so much.
"Since Yun'er has prepared a gift, mother won't prepare any more. Yun'er, just tell me what you need me to do." Qin Lanlan also knew that she didn't have any decent gifts to give, so since Yun'er had already prepared one, she didn't say anything.
"Mom, aunt, you don't have to do anything. Just go back to the room and talk. I can handle it." While they were talking, Li Yun had already fried the red and rotten pork and handed it to Qin Lanlan, asking them to go back to the room and talk.
At this time, Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao also came back with the vegetables, and Li Yun asked them to wash them.
Seeing that there was no one they could help with, Qin Lanlan and Chen Mei did not disturb Li Yun from cooking and went back to their room to talk.
Half an hour later, Li Yun had finished cooking seven dishes in total: cold rabbit, braised pork, braised pork belly, sweet and sour pork trotters, boiled chicken, lean meat with celery and a salted seasonal vegetable. The soup was lean meat and medicinal herb soup.
Just as I finished cooking, Chen Mo came back.
"We are from the old family. Today we have reclaimed ten acres of wasteland in the west of the village. If we keep going like this, we will finish it soon." As soon as Chen Mo saw Li Yun, he happily told her about today's achievements. He didn't even notice that Chen Mei and Xiaohua had arrived.
It's only ten acres, the progress is too slow, we should hire more villagers to come and open up the wasteland.
"Dad, this speed is too slow. Tomorrow the villagers will be handed over to the care of the village chief. You go to the leading village and hire more villagers to come back to reclaim the wasteland. Try to reclaim the wasteland within ten days." Li Yun wanted to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes as soon as possible.
"For ten days, we need to hire more than a hundred people." Chen Mo heard that if the business was to be completed in ten days, he would have to hire more than a hundred people.
"Dad, it doesn't matter how many people there are, as long as they are not cunning and dishonest." Li Yun just wanted to finish the land reclamation as soon as possible, and she didn't care about the number of people at all.
