A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

"What would you like to cook for lunch, Madam? I'll prepare it first." Widow Li said.

"Just make a big hodgepodge, a small cold dish, and a mixed grain rice." Lin's mother blurted out.

"Ah? I can cook mixed grain rice, but what is a hodgepodge and what are small cold dishes?" Widow Li looked confused.

The other women looked at each other in bewilderment. How come they had never heard of these dishes? Was it because they were poor and ignorant? That didn't make sense. These dishes didn't sound like expensive dishes. Could it be that the names were different because of the different regions?

But the mother and daughter's accents were similar to theirs! They racked their brains to think about it, but couldn't figure it out.

Mother Lin slapped her head suddenly and remembered that the names of these dishes were all given by her daughter and she also taught her how to cook them.

He smiled and said to them: "Old sisters, look, I forgot to tell you that these dishes are all invented by me in my spare time, and the names are also randomly chosen. It's normal that you haven't heard of them."

"So that's how it is! No wonder..." Several women had expressions of sudden enlightenment.

"How about this, old sister, you prepare the dishes and I will teach you how to cook them. It's very simple, you don't have to worry about not being able to learn it." Mother Lin said to Widow Li.

"Madam, you'd better call me Li. I'm just a servant and don't deserve to be called a sister." Widow Li said in fear and trepidation.

Mother Lin understood her concerns and did not force her, "Okay, Li, take the vegetables out of the bamboo basket in the kitchen and wash them at the well."

"Okay, ma'am." Widow Li respectfully went to the kitchen and took out the vegetables that Lin Yiran had prepared earlier.

Seeing this, several other women also wanted to help. They also wanted to see how the hodgepodge was made. The women who originally wanted to go home were no longer in a hurry to go back.

This is related to whether you can earn the high salary of 300 Wen a month, so you have to pay attention! Although you have to choose two from these people, it has not been decided yet, right? It is still unknown who will be the winner.

"Cui'e, let us help you wash together." Widow Li did not make a decision on her own, but looked at Lin's mother.

After seeing Lin's mother nod, he said, "Okay, let's wash together."

Lin Yiran and her daughter looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and were very satisfied with Widow Li's style of doing things.

With the joint efforts of several women, the vegetables were washed quickly, and the next step was to cut and cook.

Mother Lin went to the kitchen and patiently instructed the women. When they looked at the seven or eight seasonings that Mother Lin took out, they suddenly felt that their eyes and brains were not enough. They had never thought that so many seasonings would be used in cooking. They suddenly felt that a door to a new world had opened in front of them, leading them to a bright future.

There is strength in numbers. In just half an hour, the rich aroma of delicious food wafted from the kitchen.

Wang Xiaohu and a few others who were working in the yard were almost drooling at the aroma of the food.

After the meal was ready, several women said they wanted to go home to say hello to their families, and then come over to eat skewers in the afternoon after settling down.

Mother Lin expressed her understanding, and when the women left, each received an extra bowl of stew from her. They left happily with the food given to them by the host.

"Mom, you are so generous. These five bowls of hodgepodge are quite a lot." Lin Yiran teased with a smile.

"Isn't this what you taught me? If you want a horse to run faster, you have to let it eat more grass, right?" Lin's mother replied with a smile.

"Mom, you really know how to apply what you have learned. How can such a smart mother not be able to run a good ice drink shop?" Lin Yiran praised at the right time.

"Well, mom was almost blown away by your praise, and now she is still dazed." Mother Lin said while rubbing Lin Yiran's hair.

The mother and daughter laughed and played for a while, and then Brother Lin San and Zhang Kai came back driving the carriage.

Lin Yiran handed two towels to the two of them, "Wipe your sweat off!"

Zhang Kai laughed happily and took the towel, "Thank you, sister Ran'er."

Third Brother Lin was not to be outdone, "Thank you, little sister."

"Okay, go wash up, the meal is ready." Lin Yiran said with a smile.

The two of them rushed to the well in two steps and started to fetch water to wash.

When he sat down at the dinner table, Brother Lin San realized that today's staple food was not rice, but the mixed grain rice he had been eating since he was a child.

Third Brother Lin frowned, "Why did mother think of eating mixed grain rice today?"

"Even though rice tastes good, you can't eat it all the time! You have to eat it with whole grains so that you can get a balanced nutritional intake." Lin Yiran looked at his third brother and knew what he was thinking.

Seeing his sister said this, Brother Lin San didn't know what to say, so he gritted his teeth and served himself a bowl of mixed grain rice.

As soon as I took a bite, I couldn't help but widen my eyes. I didn't expect that this multi-grain rice could be so delicious. The overall taste was very silky, soft, sweet and delicious. It was completely different from the multi-grain rice I had eaten before, which was rough, dry and difficult to swallow.

Third Brother Lin couldn't stop eating at all. Wang Xiaohu, who was standing next to him, looked at Third Brother Lin eating without caring about his image at all and shook his head helplessly. It's just a meal of mixed grains, is it that serious?

Unfortunately, he said this too early. As soon as he took the first bite of the mixed grain rice, he was slapped in the face. His eating habits were no less than that of Third Brother Lin.

Everyone's chopsticks left afterimages.

Although Lin Yiran had anticipated this, she did not expect the result to be even more horrifying than she had imagined. A large iron pot of mixed-grain rice was completely devoured at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While Lin Yiran was still marveling at these people's amazing appetites, the Zhan Wang Mansion far away in the capital said, "Master, I have found out that the Great Qi Kingdom sent the Third Princess and their Sixth Prince to visit us this time. Their purpose is very clear. One is to seek marriage, and the other is to..."

Liu Yu turned the two iron balls in his hands and asked calmly: "What is the second one? Just tell me."
