Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

I made a bag of sweet potato vermicelli and asked if it was a surprise for my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I was so nervous and happy last night that I missed one.

Cut the sweet potatoes into pieces and cook them like radishes. They have a unique flavor and the main purpose is to try something new.

There are also dried mushrooms and dried black fungus, and the main focus is sincerity.

The remaining meat slices, fish slices, meatballs and fish balls were left to the chefs to prepare, and Xin Ye only needed to prepare the hot pot base.

Considering that some people may not be able to eat spicy food, two soup bases are prepared, one is a mutton soup pot and the other is a spicy hot pot.

The Hua family didn’t prepare a double-pot, so they could only serve several hot pots.

Shacheng is relatively open and there is no rule that men and women sit at different tables, so at noon, a large dining table was set up, a large table with fifteen full people sitting at it.

Hua Murong and others who also learned that her brother-in-law was cooking to entertain guests were slightly surprised. Zhong Jing and others could not sit still for a minute and urged Hua Murong to take them to meet her brother-in-law.

They had often visited the Hua Mansion before, so they were very familiar with Chen Youyou, especially since the Zhong and Fei families were old friends. Zhong Jing and Fei Yuning were the children who grew up under Chen Youyou's care, so it was reasonable for them to go and pay a visit to their aunt.

Therefore, as soon as the three heard the news, they went to the main courtyard to get to know Xin Ye, and then followed him to the kitchen and saw him cooking with their own eyes. When he was boiling mutton soup, his movements were skillful, and he ordered the chefs to help so quickly and efficiently. They knew that Hua Murong was not exaggerating about Xin Ye's cooking skills.

But a few people did not hold out to the end. When making the spicy hot pot base, they could not stand the pungent smell of the chili and ran away.

After the hosts and guests were seated, the housekeeper told the maid to start serving the dishes. They didn't feel anything when the common meat and vegetables were served at the beginning, until tofu, sweet potatoes, sweet potato noodles and other things were served. Then they turned into curious babies and started asking questions.

"Sweet potatoes can also be eaten in hot pot?" Zhongjing exclaimed, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

"What? This is sweet potato?" One of Hua Muyu's friends couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this.

Chen Youyou's close friends also recognized that it was sweet potato. After all, it was a new thing. Chen Youyou gave them several kilograms of it at that time. The taste was indeed good, but there was too little and they couldn't eat enough.

Mrs. Wu exclaimed, "There are sweet potatoes? Can they be kept for so long?"

Xin Ye explained: "If they are kept in a cool place, they can indeed be kept for several months. However, these sweet potatoes are not the ones I sent to my parents in the summer. These sweet potatoes are the ones we just harvested from our fields before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I brought them back with me."

"Sweet potatoes can be harvested in summer and also in autumn?" Mrs. Chen was puzzled.

"Sweet potatoes are planted in the spring when the weather warms up. They need three to four months to grow. If they are planted early, they can be harvested in the summer. If they are planted a month later, they can be harvested in the fall.

We can plant more after the summer harvest, and judging by the time, we should have harvested all of them last month."

"I heard that sweet potatoes are very productive and one acre can yield several thousand kilograms. Is that true?" asked Mrs. Li.

Xin Ye nodded: "Yes, during the summer harvest in our village, the average yield per mu was about 5000 kilograms."

"Hiss——" Except for the Hua family and a few young men of Hua Muyu's friends who knew nothing about farming and daily life, everyone else took a breath and deeply understood the high yield of sweet potatoes.

"This is sweet potato noodles, made from sweet potatoes. It tastes very good, especially when put in hot pot." Xin Ye took the opportunity to introduce sweet potato noodles, and then focused on tofu: "This white and tender thing is tofu, which my wife and I made."

He did not describe the specific process of soaking soybeans, but focused on introducing that tofu is made from soybeans: "We just arrived in Shacheng yesterday, and when we were shopping, we found soybean seeds in the grocery store. Tofu is made from soybeans."

Mrs. Li was shocked: "Soybeans!? We only need to put some soybeans when we cook pig's trotter soup. We don't use them much on weekdays."

Several married women present knew that soybean and pork trotter soup was a good way to increase milk production. Even if they did not feed their children themselves, they knew about it.

"Soybeans can also be used to make other foods, such as bean curd skin, dried tofu, soy milk, tofu pudding, stinky tofu, etc."

Yan Yiyi swallowed and said, "Ah! I suddenly want to eat tofu pudding and stinky tofu."

Xin Ye smiled indulgently: "Let's grind some more soy milk to make tofu pudding in the afternoon. Stinky tofu will take a little longer to make."

Hua Muyu immediately raised her hand: "I want to eat tofu pudding too!"

"Sure." Xin Ye agreed immediately, "Wife, do you want sweet tofu pudding or salty tofu pudding?"

"I want them all!" Yan Yiyi licked her lips. The afternoon snacks had already been ordered.

"Me, I want one too!" Hua Muyu raised her hand again.

"Brother-in-law, I want one too!"

"Yes, brother-in-law, we want to try it too!"

Hua Muyu's friends are very shameless. They don't know what politeness means just for a bite of food.

Xinye nodded: "Okay, but there are so many people, I need your help."

"Okay, okay, brother-in-law, just give me your orders."

Hua Feifan's eyes lit up: "Aye, don't forget to send some to me and your mother, we also want two flavors."

Zhongjing and his companions looked at each other and could see from each other's eyes that they didn't want to miss it. However, they would not be so stupid as to raise their hands to beg for it. They decided to follow Sister Yi Yi and her husband back to their yard after eating the hot pot.

Hua Muyu suddenly thought of the soybeans they bought at the grocery store: "Brother-in-law, there seems to be only a small bag of soybeans. Is it enough for so many of us to share?"

"It's really not enough. I've already ordered some from the grocery store, but it will take a few days for it to arrive."

Fei Yuning suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Although soybeans are not a necessity, we all have some stored at home. If you want to eat them, go home and look for them. If you can't find them, wait for the soybeans ordered by my brother-in-law to arrive before gathering again."

Mu Xiong didn't expect that he had already found an excuse to come over for food next time. He had to admire him. If his brain could work so quickly when studying, he wouldn't always be at the bottom of their class.

Xin Ye laughed dumbly: "Not really, there is still enough for everyone to taste a small bowl."

One of Hua Muyu's friends couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "It's not satisfying. Third brother, how about you ask your servant to go to our houses and ask if we have soybeans?"

Mrs. Chen was amused when she saw the children were greedy. "Okay, no need to bother. My family bought a bag of soybeans some time ago. I'll have someone bring it over."

"Yes, your daughter-in-law just gave birth to a baby some time ago, and I forgot about it." Mrs. Li said with a smile.

Mrs. Chen smiled bitterly. It was not only her daughter-in-law who gave birth to a child some time ago. Anyway, there was always soybeans available at home.
