After lunch, Mrs. Gao came to find Miss Yang and asked her when to go to Li Hongqi's house to get the tofu. The two families agreed with Li Hongqi's wife to make the tofu today.

When Mrs. Gao came, Shuying had just gotten up and was having lunch.

The two were talking at the door, discussing the matter.

After being tormented all night last night, Shuying not only had a sore back, but her legs were also as weak as noodles and she could barely stand. She gritted her teeth and held on to try to avoid being noticed by her sister-in-law, who was afraid of being noticed.

Mrs. Gao was an experienced person, so how could she not see anything? Moreover, she saw Chen Tuan come back in the morning.

Look, Mrs. Gao's eyes fell on her charming and beautiful eyebrows, as if she had just been moisturized. Her eyes were soft and seductive, with a little red at the corners of her eyes. Her thick black hair was scattered on her shoulders, and her white and translucent face was really dazzling. Even she, a woman, was stunned. Mrs. Gao felt that Chen Tuan was so lucky.

Knowing that Miss Yang was thin-skinned, Mrs. Gao did not point it out this time.

The two of them agreed to go get the tofu at four o'clock in the evening.

"Okay, Sister Yang, I'll come to find you when the time comes!" said Mrs. Gao.

"good!"

Mrs. Gao was not in a hurry to leave. She was just nagging her that many people in the military region knew that they had gone to the river behind the mountain to fish by digging ice yesterday. Many people went fishing in the river behind the mountain today, but she didn't hear who caught a lot of fish in the morning.

Shuying thought to herself, she had used her golden finger to catch so many fish, it seemed that there really were not many fish in that river, and it was within her expectations that she would not be able to catch any.

After that, she should go fishing in the river less often. It's okay once in a while, but if it happens too many times and others fail to catch any fish but she does, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?

"Sister Yang, you are so lucky. If it weren't for you, I guess my third boy wouldn't have caught any fish last night!" Mrs. Gao really felt that her third boy was taking advantage of Sister Yang's good luck.

Shuying pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister-in-law, don't say that. Maybe I am just riding on the luck of the three Xiaoyuan brothers. No one can explain luck!"

"You even picked up a wild boar before! Who is luckier than you?" Mrs. Gao thought Miss Yang was too modest.

Tree Shadow: “…”

Mrs. Gao didn't stay for long. Shuying breathed a sigh of relief, closed the gate, rubbed his waist, and went to the main room to eat lunch.

After lunch, Shuying did not forget her plan to send some hot pot base to the Li family. She was too lazy to cook other dishes for dinner, and the weather was cold, so it would be nice to cook some hot pot.

Everyone in my family loves spicy food, so Shuying makes spicy hot pot base.

Take out the spice oil and heat the oil in a pan.

Because she had always wanted to make hot pot base, she prepared the spice oil and other ingredients.

Spice oil is made from butter, scallions, garlic, coriander and onions, and is very fragrant.

She had also chopped a lot of minced ginger and chili peppers, and then added the seasonings and simmered them slowly.

A lot of spices were added, and when the hot pot base was being boiled, a can of beer was added to enhance the flavor. The taste was spicy, fragrant and numbing.

When the hot pot base was ready, it was almost four o'clock. She cut it into squares, sealed one piece in a bag and prepared to give it to Li Hongqi's wife while she was taking the tofu.

The hot pot base cost her a lot of oil and spices. A small piece the size of a fist must be worth a lot of money. Since Li Hongqi's wife refused to accept the money and Douzi didn't charge her much, she gave her some hot pot base to show her gratitude. She couldn't let others work for her in vain.

At four o'clock, Gao Dasao came with a basket of vegetables. Shuying asked, "Sister-in-law, why did you bring a basket of vegetables?"

After Mrs. Gao's explanation, Shuying realized that the basket of vegetables was meant for Li Hongqi's family.

Li Hongqi's wife was very honest. She didn't charge any money. They gave her some more soybeans, but she didn't charge much. As a result, Gao Dasao felt bad about it, so she took a basket of vegetables and passed it over.

A basket of vegetables was nothing. Mrs. Gao even discussed with her whether she could leave half of the bean curd dregs for making tofu for Li Hongqi's wife.

Bean dregs are not worth much, but every family is short of food, and no one would complain about having too much food, so Shuying naturally agreed.

On the way, Gao Dasao asked her what she had done and why it was so spicy. She was sitting in the living room of her house and sneezed a few times because of the spiciness.

I don’t even know how much chili pepper was added!

In addition to being spicy, it is of course also very fragrant, both numb and aromatic. It is no exaggeration to say that the fragrance wafts all over the dish. It is more fragrant than any other spicy rabbit meat dish Yang has made in the past. In two words, it is 'absolutely wonderful'!

Shuying did not hide it and told him that he made some hot pot base for Li Hongqi's wife.

The other person was so sincere that she felt a little guilty, so she asked Mrs. Gao if she wanted to order some so that she could send some to her when she came back.

It’s just that she didn’t buy much butter, so the quantity she made was not large. So giving her a small piece was enough for her family to taste.

"What? Butter?" Mrs. Gao knew a little bit about how to make hot pot base, how much oil was needed, and how many spices were needed. She was stunned and shocked at Yang Meizi's sewing again. She felt so sorry for her. How could she possibly accept hers?

Her family hasn't returned the favor that sister Yang gave her last time, which was a jar of mushroom meat sauce with oil and diced meat. She quickly waved her hand to refuse: "No, sister Yang, we still have a lot of that meat sauce you gave to your sister-in-law's family last time. You should enjoy the hot pot base at home!" It took so much oil to make it, her family can't afford it.

There was indeed not much hot pot base she made, and seeing that Mrs. Gao refused, she did not force it.

Li Hongqi finished making the tofu for the two families at 3:30 in the afternoon. She and Gao Dasao had collected ten kilograms of soybeans, which made about thirty blocks of tofu.

"Sister-in-law, here!" When Li Hongqi's wife saw the two people coming, she hurriedly took them into the main room, took out baskets to divide the tofu, fifteen pieces for each family, exactly thirty pieces in total.

The hot tofu was very tempting. Shuying and Mrs. Gao could see that Li Hongqi's wife was very good at making tofu and was a very kind person. She even put the bean dregs in a winnowing basket for them to take back.

"Captain Li's family, I'm really sorry to bother you this time!" Mrs. Gao gave her a basket of vegetables she brought to put in a bowl, and Shuying also gave the hot pot base she made to Li Hongqi's wife: "Hongqi's family, this hot pot base is not worth much, it's great for stews, soups, and hot pots, come and try my cooking skills!"

Li Hongqi's wife didn't expect her two sisters-in-law to be so polite. How could she accept it?

Mrs. Gao's basket of vegetables is fine, but I don't know what Mrs. Chen Tuan's hot pot base is. Last time, Mrs. Chen Tuan stuffed a bowl of mushroom meat sauce with diced meat and red oil into her husband's mouth, but he said it was not worth the money. It was not until the couple opened the box that they discovered that it was filled with meat and red oil. The couple still don't know how to express their gratitude.

She also said that last time the two of them delivered beans to people's homes, many people came to ask her about it. After learning that she could make tofu, many people asked her to make tofu during the Chinese New Year, and her family has made a lot of money recently.

Li Hongqi's wife has been in a very good mood recently and is much more confident. Shuying and Gao Dasao are both happy for Li Hongqi's wife.

However, the vegetables and the fist-sized hot pot base were still left at Li's house. Only then did Shuying and Gao Dasao each take a basket of tofu back, and each of them only took half of the bean curd dregs.

Just after going downstairs, I met Li Hongqi. Li Hongqi had a good impression of my sister-in-law. Last time, he owed a favor to Mushroom Meat Sauce. This time, Li Hongqi did not give Shuying and Gao Dasao a chance to refuse. He took over the tofu baskets from them and helped them carry them home.

After Li Hongqi left, Gao Dasao exclaimed: "These two are really genuine people!"

After returning home, her husband had not come back yet, but her child had come home at dinner time. As soon as he got home, he squatted beside the dustpan and looked at the bean dregs curiously, asking what it was and whether it tasted good.

Shuying smiled and said, "Auntie will make you some bean curd cakes tomorrow so you can try them!"

Chen Yi, who loves food, was very happy and hugged Shuying's calf: "Auntie, are you going to cook? What are we having for dinner?"

Shuying asked him if he wanted to eat anything, and Chen Yi blurted out spicy rabbit meat.

"The spicy rabbit meat is so delicious! I almost swallowed my tongue while eating it," Chen Yi said, "Auntie, when can we go to the back mountain to pick wild rabbits?"

It seems that this kid really likes spicy rabbit meat and can't stop thinking about it.

So, she immediately remembered that she had not eaten the dried rabbit meat sent by her parents, so she prepared to make spicy rabbit meat for the boy on New Year's Day.

"Are you hungry?" Shuying touched the child's belly, which made Chen Yi giggle. Her stomach even growled and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

Shuying hurriedly mixed a piece of tofu for the child. The freshly made tofu was still hot, and he added green onions and some MSG to it, which tasted good.

She let the child sit on a small stool and eat from the bowl.

She washes vegetables and eats hotpot in the evening.

In the evening, Chen Xi returned to his yard after training and saw Fang Boran lingering at the door of his house. Chen Xi's eyes flashed sharply and he strode over. Fang Boran stopped him and suddenly said, "Chen Tuan, can I have a word with you?"

Chen Xichong nodded to him, walked a little further away from him, and let him talk.

Fang Boran felt a little embarrassed. After all, to be honest, their relationship was not very good, especially because he used to have too many small thoughts and was too competitive. He loved to compare himself with Chen Tuan and was even jealous of him at one point.

He thought he had hidden his little thoughts well, but he didn't know that others had already seen through his little thoughts and were just too lazy to argue with him.

Fang Boran wiped his face and asked through gritted teeth, "Chen Tuan, when you raised Chen Yi, how did your sister-in-law agree? How did you tell your sister-in-law?"
