A hodgepodge is simple and easy to understand. As long as the food is cooked long enough, it will taste good.

It just took a little effort to stir.

First, cook the spareribs, red beans, lotus seeds, black beans, taro, peas, peanuts and other side dishes. Then pour in most of the ingredients over high heat and boil for fifteen minutes. Then add corn, peas, raisins, walnut kernels, etc. and simmer until it is semi-thin and semi-thick. Start stirring in each hand.

It took more than two hours in total to make two pots of Laba porridge.

Yunli had tasted it before and thought the taste was okay, not bitter, not salty, and not burnt, which was just right.

Yunli took out a new iron pot and scooped one pot of Laba porridge into another iron pot, about seventy spoonfuls in total.

Almost two spoonfuls less than a full bowl.

There are only forty-three households including her family, and two pots of Laba porridge are more than enough to produce forty-two bowls.

Seeing the convoy slowly getting up, Yunli hurried over to find the village chief.

Why would an old patriarch like him be so tired of doing such trivial errands?

The village chief followed her to the Laba porridge with a confused look on his face. "Uncle, I have prepared the thank-you gift for the villagers that I mentioned yesterday! I can't carry it, so let everyone serve it!"

The village chief looked at the two pots of black stuff and was speechless.

"What's this? Did you fail in refining the elixir?"

???

What a joke?

Yunli was a little melancholy, "Uncle, you could actually be more polite."

"Then do you want me to tell you which pit you scooped it out from?" The village chief almost covered his nose.

Although it doesn't smell bad, it's hard not to be suspicious of this appearance, okay?

Yunli was a little speechless.

Indeed...the Laba porridge she made was a little bit ugly.

Perhaps because of the addition of green foods such as peas, green vegetables, and raisins, the two pots of porridge were black with a hint of green. The green vegetables were covered with black porridge water, which formed something suspicious under the illumination of the torch.

Damn!

Yunli simply scooped a small spoonful into a bowl and brought it to the village chief, "Smell it, it smells so good! I've eaten it before, it's delicious, uncle, why don't you try it! You'll know once you try it."

Unable to resist the urge to do so, the spoonful was finally stuffed into the village chief's mouth.

The taste is indescribable, the porridge is salty, but some of the ingredients are sweet. The village chief can taste the rice, red beans, green vegetables, lotus seeds and peanuts, but he can't taste the others.

Yunli scraped a layer on the surface, otherwise the village chief would be able to tell that it was pork ribs.

"Is it really porridge? Why is it so black? Did you add so many things to it? Did you spend all your savings?"

After confirming that it was edible, the village chief became worried again.

This damn kid really never stops making trouble.

"How can that be possible? I just cleared out a bag of rice to put other things in. Uncle, do I need to prepare some water?"

"There are so many, enough for two bowls for everyone. No need for water." The village chief estimated the number and felt that there should be two bowls.

"Uncle, one pot has seventy-three spoons, the other pot should be about the same."

"Okay, you wait here. I'll tell everyone to bring their bowls over. You give each person three scoops of soup. Remember to say thank you to everyone. Got it?" The village chief reminded again.

"Got it, don't worry, uncle. I promise to complete the task!"

Yunli raised one hand above his head and saluted.

The village chief thought her appearance was a little funny, "I don't know where this girl learned these weird things."

He walked away shaking his head and muttering to himself.

I have to say, the way humans get along is very strange.

After this pot of porridge was served, even the aunts who had previously complained about Yunli began to greet her with a smile.

Of course, this group of people does not include Old Lady Song’s family.

The one who came to get the porridge was Mrs. Song’s eldest daughter-in-law, Jin.

Before this, she had a stern face the whole time, staring at Yunli with disapproval.

She was so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe!

All of this was food from her family! There were almost a hundred bowls in total. If her family were to eat their fill, it would be enough to last them five or six days!

What a waste!

Every time this spendthrift scooped out a spoonful of porridge, it was like scooping out a spoonful of her blood!

When it was her turn, she couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "The nemesis of death!"

Yunli couldn't take it anymore, and threw the spoon into the pot, shouting, "What an unreasonable auntie, I treat you as a human being, but you treat yourself as a dog? Both of my dogs know how to wag their tails at me, and you scold me while holding the bowl to eat my food. Is your bowl rimmed with gold, or is your dog mouth rimmed with gold? Where do you get the confidence to think that I will give in to you? Are you arrogant, because you have a foul mouth, and because you don't brush your teeth? I call you auntie, and you really treat yourself as a human being, as my elder?"

Jin was stunned. She could not believe that at her age, she was scolded by a junior so much that she almost couldn't recognize herself. Her eyes immediately turned red.

"Oh, you are so old and shameless, crying in front of so many people. Tell me, are you trying to seduce someone? I am a jinx? I was not even born when you killed your grandparents, your great-grandmother and your great-grandfather. I am a nemesis? Why haven't you been killed by me yet? You are so naughty!"

When the word Nike was mentioned, people around couldn't help but laugh.

It's not that I think Yunli is right to scold her - after all, Jin is Yunli's elder. It's just that the word Nike is too funny.

The village chief who was accompanying them felt a little numb.

Sometimes he couldn't help but feel curious. This Fifth Uncle wasn't a stupid guy, so how come he had such a whole family of idiots?

The daughter-in-law he chose is vicious and stupid, his daughter-in-law is stupid, his granddaughter-in-law is stupid, his great-granddaughter is stupid, and even his own daughter has inherited her mother's genes, being dull and timid.

There is only this alien in the cloud.

Sometimes he wondered, this girl Yunli looked nothing like anyone in their family, was it the wrong child?

But how is this possible?

Jin prides herself on being a refined person, totally different from a crazy girl like Yunli.

She can curse others secretly, or be sarcastic in front of others, but if the other party has the nerve to curse back secretly or be sarcastic back at her, right?

Putting the matter out in the open and swearing so harshly, how can this be called a quarrel?

"I, I didn't scold you! You are wronging me!" Jin retorted loudly with tears in her eyes.

"Tsk, I heard it all. Do you think the aunt standing next to you didn't hear it?" Yunli rolled his eyes, stretched out his finger, and pointed at four or five aunts.

The aunts laughed and didn't respond. They just tried to smooth things over, "Hey, Xiaoli, it's your aunt who is wrong, but she is an elder after all. You've scolded her so much, so just give the aunts some face and let it go. Don't argue with her, okay?"
