Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 5 Entertaining Grandpa and Grandma



When he got home, he saw his grandpa and grandma about to get up. Li Qiuyan said hurriedly: "Grandpa and grandma, it's hard to come here. You guys can stay for a few days before leaving." Old Wangtou and Mrs. Zhao looked at each other and saw Mrs. Wang's eyes showing reluctance to leave. He also hesitated.

Li Xiangnan was very smart: "Father, mother, we still have to travel all night when we go back. You guys can stay here and play for a few days."

"Well, okay then." Old Wangtou was also cheerful, "Old woman, please share some of the things we brought, and let's go to the old home to see my old brother and sister-in-law." "Hey, I'll go with you. I also told my old sister-in-law." Mrs. Zhao was very happy and directed her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cheng, to pour half a basket of autumn pears and a bag of fungus. Awang also wanted to follow, and his uncle carried him on his shoulders. People go away together.

"Mom, my grandparents finally came here. What should we cook?" Seeing that Wang was still a little stunned, Li Qiuyan reminded her.

"Yes, I want to find a way to entertain your grandparents." Wang reacted and fell into worry again: "Here, there is nothing to eat at home."

Li Qiuyan walked over and looked through the things he had brought. He saw that the basket was full, including dried fungus, hazel mushrooms, two kilograms of fat pork belly, half a basket of eggs, and half a basket of autumn pears.There are also a few salted duck eggs and several feet of blue cloth.

"Let's make dumplings." Li Qiuyan had an idea. "We don't have any white flour at home, can we make dumplings?" said Wang.

"Okay, I have an idea." After Li Qiuyan said that, he quickly took out a small basin, soaked a handful of dried fungus, and then went out to pick a handful of tender leeks and a tender pumpkin.Seeing Li Qiuyan's fussy look, Wang laughed and said, "Why is my daughter so capable?" "Okay, let her do the work, she is a big girl now. I think it's good like this." Li Xiangnan looked at Wang happily. When Wang's parents, brothers and sister-in-law came over, there was a smile on Wang's face, and he felt much lighter in his heart.Seeing that Ms. Wang was still uneasy, he pulled Ms. Wang's hand: "Come, sit here and talk to your husband." Ms. Wang spat, her face turned red, but she sat down obediently.

In the kitchen, Li Qiuyan looked at the bag below. There was only the bottom of the white flour left in it, but there was still half a bag of cornmeal.Fortunately, the dumplings she wanted to make were not white flour dumplings, but made of cornmeal mixed with a little white flour.In fact, this kind of dumplings cannot be called dumplings. They are steamed dumplings at best. They are steamed from multigrain bread into the shape of large dumplings. In her previous life, she loved to eat this when she was losing weight. She felt that white flour raised sugar too quickly, so she would eat it every time. Only a little white flour is added to increase the stickiness, and the taste is also very good.Of course, in the previous life, there was a lot of fat and water in the belly, and all the food was pure lean meat or shrimp.After wearing it here, I am not afraid of overnutrition.Thinking of this, Li Qiuyan smiled happily.

After kneading the dough and leaving it there, Li Qiuyan began to prepare the filling. He first peeled the skin of the tender pumpkin, then cut it into thin strips, sprinkled it with salt, mixed it well and killed the water.He cut the fat pork into cubes and burned the lard, but it couldn't light the fire.She had no choice but to shout loudly: "Mom~" "Come on, come on." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang quickly moved her legs to get off the kang, and when she came over, she lit the fire three times. "Okay, mother will practice while you go do other things."

Li Qiuyan looked at the fungus that had been soaked and opened it. He poured the water for soaking the fungus on the tree stump in the yard, washed it carefully, chopped the fungus into pieces, put it in the chopped pumpkin after killing the water, and cut it to dry. Dried leeks.By coincidence, Wang had also finished refining the oil at this time.Pour in the oil residue and add salt, and a fresh flavor comes out.The two of them worked together to make three large dumplings. After they were steamed, Li Qiuyan quickly made egg soup.I also made some garlic sauce and planned to eat it as a dip.

Just wait for grandpa and the others to come back and start dinner.

Just when Li Qiuyan was hesitating to shout, several people came in together with Lao Li Tou. Lao Li Tou, who had a black face and was a little red, was talking to his grandfather, Lao Wang Tou. "Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, uncle and aunt, you are back. It's time to come in for dinner." Li Qiuyan hurriedly greeted, "Why didn't grandma come with you?" "Your grandma is a little uncomfortable. Come on, let's go inside." I don't know. Is it an illusion? I just felt that Lao Litou's face turned redder.Li Qiuyan didn't think much and greeted everyone into the room.

"What we say is true." Grandpa Lao Wangtou praised.The rest of the people ate hard, praising Li Qiuyan's cooking skills.Grandpa's eyes swept over Old Li's head, with unspeakable meaning.

After dinner, Old Li Tou left. Old Wang Tou said solemnly: "Yanyan, don't think too much. As long as we are here, no one can sell you. We have already broken up with your grandma. If you have this problem again, I need the old Li family to give me an explanation." Li Xiangnan's face turned red and he repeatedly promised his father-in-law.After cleaning up, everyone chatted on the kang for a long time before falling asleep.

A night without dreams.
