Xinghua Village is not far from the town, and Jiang soon arrived with what Cheng Yue needed.
Cheng Yue started preparing in the kitchen.
For lunch, she planned to make three dishes, a soup, and a bowl of fish skin and peanuts.
The soup is wild vegetable and egg soup. The eggs laid by the chickens raised by Jiang are basically eaten by the family and are never sold.
It's spring now, and wild vegetables are easy to find.
Then make another dish of crispy pork ribs, stir-fried cabbage, and spicy and sour potato shreds.
Cheng Yue asked Jiang to buy the spare ribs. In ancient times, the lean meat in spare ribs was much cheaper than the fat.
Moreover, the Cheng family had just fallen into a huge foreign debt yesterday. In the past, it was common for them to sell meat to add to the dishes.
After steaming the rice, I started making fish skin peanuts.
Beat two eggs and put them into the flour, add a little sugar and salt, slowly add water, stir evenly, knead into a ball, cover with a lid, and let it rest for a quarter of an hour.
Fry the peeled peanuts over low heat until cooked.
After the dough has risen, pinch it into balls about the size of your thumb and put peanuts into the dough.
Heat the oil again and fry the dough wrapped with peanuts until golden brown.
After frying, drain the water and put it in a bowl.
The fish skin peanuts are ready.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please try it and see how it tastes."
Cheng Yue started cooking, and the peanuts were almost cooled down, so she asked Cheng Wen and his wife to taste them.
"Hmm! This tastes good. It's fragrant and crispy as a snack. Of course, it's also great with wine."
After eating a few, Gu Xuelan stopped eating and said to Cheng Yue.
"Sister, it's delicious! Sister, it's so delicious!"
Cheng Wen, however, couldn't let go of them, picking them up one after another, and not forgetting to give Cheng Yue his comments.
"Husband, don't eat anymore. Wait until my parents come back."
Gu Xuelan quickly grabbed Cheng Wen.
He ate a lot of the whole bowl of food one by one. If he continued to eat, it would definitely take him no time to finish it.
"Oh, yes, lady."
Cheng Wen pursed his lips and looked at the peanuts in the bowl, his eyes full of "I want to eat them".
"Brother, if you want to eat, can we do it after lunch?"
Cheng Yue wanted to laugh when she saw Cheng Wen like this.
"Okay, sister. Sister is so nice! Sister, I'll help you knead the dough in the afternoon. I know how to do it."
Cheng Wen said happily.
"Okay. Then I thank you, big brother."
Fish skin peanuts are easy to make, so she didn't think Cheng Wen was lying.
"Ayue, I think we should shell the peanuts this afternoon, and then work harder to see if we can sell them tomorrow."
Gu Xuelan pinched her chin and thought for a while before speaking.
"Sister-in-law, that's exactly what I was thinking. I've soaked enough beans to make a big pork shoulder. But the spicy shredded pork can't be sold tomorrow, so I just asked mom to buy some lean meat."
Cheng Yue said.
"It's okay, we can try selling two kinds first. By the way, Ayue, how should we sell these fish skin peanuts?"
Gu Xuelan has completely approved of the food made by Cheng Yue, not only because of the fish skin peanuts, but also the spicy spareribs prepared for lunch smelled delicious, and she approved of it even more after tasting a piece.
"Let's wrap them in oil paper, put forty or fifty pills in a bag, and sell them for ten cents a bag, okay?"
Cheng Yue thought for a moment and said.
"Is ten cents too much?"
Gu Xuelan didn't expect Cheng Yue to set such a high price.
"It's not much. As long as it tastes good, the people in the gambling house will definitely buy it. They don't mind the ten cents."
