"Humph, I didn't!" Goumao's main point was to refuse to admit it.

"Oh, that's easy. We have the seasonings at home. We can just stew it when we get home." Guangdan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the kid wanted to be with his parents, but it turned out he was just greedy.

"It's easy to say, but grandma definitely won't let us buy meat often." Goumao pouted and started muttering.

"You have to trust me, your second brother!" Guangdan patted his wallet very casually, instantly possessed by the domineering CEO, feeling like he could spend money lavishly.

When Lin Erniu and his wife came back, it was already dusk. Looking at the ingredients and dinner prepared in the kitchen, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's great that you came! Otherwise we would have to stay up late tonight!" Lin Erniu said as he unloaded the pots and pans from the cart.

Cao Lian walked straight into the kitchen, washed her hands, and prepared to continue working without even taking a break.

"Second sister-in-law, eat dinner first. These have been washed. Just take a look at how much you want to braise, and we'll do it." Taohua quickly pulled Cao Lian and said with a smile.

"Thanks to you, the water happened to be hot, so I put the meat in the pot first and just stew it. It won't be too late to eat then." Seeing that the pork and duck were washed and piled in two wooden basins, Cao Lian looked at Taohua and Erya with gratitude.

"That's fine. You prepare the seasonings and tell us how much meat and duck to put in. Erya, you add some firewood and light a high fire." With that, several people started to take action.

Erya looked at the pot full of meat and couldn't help but sigh: "So much!"

"I can't sell so many on weekdays, but tomorrow is the Ghost Festival. Sales will definitely be good during the three days of the Ghost Festival. I'll get more. There will also be a night market during these days. If I can't sell them, I'll go to the night market." Cao Lian said confidently.

"Second Aunt, you guys have worked so hard!" Erya said as she looked at her Second Aunt's weather-beaten face.

“It’s hard to make money!”

After a few people put the food to be stewed into the pot, they kept the fire under the stove and stewed it slowly, and then started to eat dinner.

Dinner was pancakes and chicken soup, which was stewed from two chickens for a whole afternoon. Apart from a hint of medicinal flavor, there was nothing special about it.

Cao Lian looked at the chicken soup in the can and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You brought chicken with you? How can we do this?"

"What's the big deal? Mom and Dad said that you and second brother must be exhausted these days and need some replenishment. We are just taking advantage of you!" Taohua smiled and scooped chicken soup into each bowl.

"We're going to eat Yuanxiao tomorrow." Yaya said sparklingly while slurping her saliva.

"Oh? You want to eat Yuanxiao again? Is it our Yaya who makes it?" Cao Lian teased the little girl with a smile.

"Well, Yaya will get up early tomorrow morning and do it!" Yaya said shamelessly and giggled.

"Erya and I will get up tomorrow morning to make Yuanxiao. Guangdan said that we cannot not eat Yuanxiao on the Lantern Festival, so we brought glutinous rice flour and sesame seeds." After Taohua said this, she handed the bowl with chicken legs to Lin Erniu.

This made Lin Erniu feel a little embarrassed, and he backed off again.

This was embarrassing for a father, but not for a son, so Goumaoer directly took the chicken leg from his father's hand, causing everyone to laugh.

After all, there are two chickens and four chicken legs, so it's enough no matter how you divide them. Guangdan is also happily gnawing on a large piece of chicken breast, feeling very satisfied.

For example, when she was still Lin Xiaoxi, she ate chicken breast so much to lose weight that she felt miserable. Now that she has become a bald little girl, why do I find chicken breast so delicious?

After Lin Erniu quickly finished his dinner, he went out to the village butcher to order the meat he would need for tomorrow and have it delivered tomorrow afternoon.

After all, the Lantern Festival lasts for three days, and he must make good use of the business during these three days.

Guangdan and the other kids have nothing to do after dinner. They just lie on the warm kang and touch their round bellies happily.

"I'm going shopping with my uncle tomorrow. My friend, you'd better keep an eye on these little guys, especially Goumao." Gouwei grumbled worriedly.

"I will definitely keep a close eye on them." Tiezi promised seriously.

"When do we set off tomorrow?" Goumao asked after rolling around on the kang and scratching his messy hair.

"Just sleep until you wake up naturally! They are going to the stalls early, shall we go out and enjoy the cool air?" Guangdan, who didn't want to get up early at all, said with squinted eyes.

"Well, let's go later. It won't be lively if we go too early." Goudan also responded from the side.

In another room, Taohua was also chatting with Cao Lian.

"Second sister-in-law, I'll go over and help you tomorrow. There will definitely be a lot of people tomorrow, and if you guys can't handle it—"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Cao Lian waving her hands.

"No, no, no, an unmarried girl like you is not suitable to set up a stall on the street! If you want to help me, just go back this afternoon and help me clean and cut the meat like you did today."

As Cao Lian spoke, she gently patted Taohua's hand.

Most women, after getting married, will inevitably encounter problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sisters-in-law, and sisters-in-law, but she is considered lucky.

In the past few years, the Lin family was poor, and she had some resentment in her heart. At that time, she looked at her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and even Tao Hua with some displeasure. Now that she is setting up a stall in the county town, she thinks of these people from time to time.

The aunt and the sister-in-law had a good chat again. When they finished, they found that Erya and the two little girls were already drooling on the kang.

The next morning, Taohua and Erya got up before dawn, lit the oil lamp in the kitchen and began to knead the dough to make Yuanxiao.

This glutinous rice flour is not something that ordinary people can eat. Guangdan spent a huge amount of money to ask his uncle to buy it from the county town in advance. It was also he who insisted on eating Yuanxiao.

In fact, it was called Tangyuan before, but now it is called Yuanxiao in this place.

Before the two of them walked around in the kitchen for a few times, Cao Lian also got up, and then Lin Erniu, Lin Xiaoniu, Gouwei and Tiezi also got up one after another.

There was not much glutinous rice flour, and Taohua was worried that these people would not have enough to eat, so she heated up the leftover cakes from last night and put some pickles in a small dish.

Lin Erniu, Lin Xiaoniu and his companions ate breakfast in a hurry and went out to the county town. At this time, Lijia Village was also quite lively. Many people in the village were doing small businesses in the county town, all wanting to take advantage of the excitement of the Ghost Festival.

When Guangdan woke up, it was already bright. Even the kang next to him was empty. He could still vaguely hear Goumao's happy voice.

After putting on my clothes with difficulty and walking out of the room, it was another cold day. I covered my face, it was so cold!

"Come and have breakfast! After that we'll go to the county town! The Yuanxiao are delicious!!!" When Goumao saw him get up, he immediately started yelling.

"I know, I know!" Guangdan touched his slightly deflated belly, quickened his pace, quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, then held a yellow-brown stoneware bowl and slurped his saliva.

Yuanxiao! Soft, chewy, sweet and delicious. When you take a bite, the sesame filling fills your mouth. It turns out that sweet food can make people happy!!!
