In the book, I was fed by my sister

Song Ran upgraded the recipe of the braised dish this time. In addition to the common seasonings such as star anise, pepper, cinnamon, bay leaves, ginger, etc., he also added medicinal materials such as Codonopsis pilosula and Angelica sinensis.

The unique flavor of this braised dish will be remembered after you taste it once.

To avoid the smell of strong flavors, Song Ran divided the marinade into three pots.

The first pot was used to stew pig's head. In order to make the pig's head more flavorful, she asked the butcher to go to the city every day to deliver a head of delicious pig's head.

The second pot is used to prepare the flavorful pig offal, including pig intestines, pig hearts, pig lungs, etc.

The third pot is used to cook green vegetables, such as lotus root, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, etc. The green vegetables absorb a lot of soup and taste delicious when stewed in the marinade.

As the stewing time goes by, the flavor of the marinade becomes more and more fragrant.

Song Ran has become famous in the village for his skill in making braised dishes.

Those who had extra money at home would come to weigh the pig's head. Although the price of pig's head was relatively high, everyone was willing to pay for it because of Song Ran's craftsmanship.

If you think pig head is too expensive, you can order some braised pork liver, pig heart, etc., or a combination of half vegetarian and half meat.

At the end of each day, Song Ran would sell the leftover marinade from braised dishes.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Song Ran's increasingly prosperous business and couldn't help but sigh: "The shops in the city haven't even opened yet, but your business here is booming."

During this period, Song Ran would go out to do farm work in the morning and be busy with braising pot at home in the afternoon.

At first, she was worried that she would not be able to sell the meat, so she did not produce much meat. As a result, it was sold out in two or three days. Seeing this situation, Song Ran gradually increased the amount of meat she produced every day.

After a few days, she had started to make a small profit.

In the kitchen, Song Li lifted the old cloth covering the basin. The rapeseeds soaked in it were soaked in water. The originally dormant seeds turned white one after another.

"Sister, the seeds are already turning white. Shall we go plant them tomorrow?"

Song Ran came into the kitchen to see, "So fast! All the hairs are turning white."

"Do you want to plant them one by one?" Rapeseeds are very small, and there will probably be hundreds or even thousands of them if you plant a handful.

"Your sister must be exhausted, give it to me, I'll put it in the sun and dry it out."

The next morning, just as the sun broke through the clouds, the two sisters came to their own fields, bringing with them a pot of vegetable seeds, two bamboo rakes, and two bamboo tubes with holes drilled in them.

"Look, Xiaoguai, as you walk, shake the bamboo tube in your hand, and the rapeseed will fall into the ground."

Song Li watched her elder sister demonstrate and pointed at the bamboo rake tied behind her. "Is that bamboo rake used to cover the soil?"

"Yes, this kind of seeds cannot be buried too deep, just cover them with a little soil."

Song Li had been worrying about how to use her supernatural powers in front of her sister, and now this method was not bad.

The two took off their shoes and socks and walked barefoot in the fields.

The rapeseed made a rustling sound in the bamboo tube, and one ridge of the field was quickly completed. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the entire acre of land was sown.

Song Ran asked: "Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"

Song Li shook her head and replied, "Sister, I'm not tired. If you're not tired, let's move on to the next piece of land."

"Little guy, you are quite motivated." Song Ran picked up his shoes and said, "Let's go."

"Sister, we have these pieces of land divided up here and there, why don't we exchange the nearby fields with others?"

Song Ran thought for a while and replied, "I didn't think so before, because I didn't manage the fields myself. But now it's really troublesome to plant rice and thresh the crops myself. I guess the land is not good anymore, as most of it has been planted with wheat and rapeseed. But you can ask for the empty fields, add some money, and exchange all the fields under our small pond for ours."

This will also protect the pond from being opened again to waterproof it.

At noon, Song Ran saw some households lighting up cigarettes, so he stopped work and rushed home.

"Brush off the mud on your feet and put on your shoes. There are many stones on the road, which is more painful than the ground."

Song Ran was returning to the village. She met villagers along the way. From time to time, someone asked curiously, "Miss Song, are you going to sell braised dishes this afternoon?"

She smiled and replied, "Yes! Auntie, if you want to buy it, you have to come early. I estimate it will be ready around 3 p.m."

"Hey, okay."

The two continued walking and heard someone shouting from behind: "Sister Song! Wait a minute."

Song Ran turned around and saw Li Chunzhi walking towards him quickly, accompanied by an older woman. Li Chunzhi introduced her enthusiastically, "This is my great aunt. Her family is going to host a wedding banquet with more than a dozen tables the day after tomorrow, and she came to ask if you can prepare braised dishes for them."

Upon hearing this, Song Ran immediately said, "That's no problem. Auntie is from the next village, right? Congratulations! I'm afraid you're borrowing your granddaughter-in-law. How many tables are there in your house? What kind of braised food do you need? I can make it all."

The eldest aunt smiled and said, "I was having dinner at Chunzhi's house the other day and tasted the stewed food you made. It was really delicious and even had a faint smell of Chinese medicine."

Song Ran explained: "You are not wrong. It does contain Chinese medicinal herbs such as Codonopsis pilosula, which not only improves the taste but is also good for the body."

The eldest aunt listened and became more interested: "That's great! I wonder if you can help prepare it? We will prepare the ingredients, you can help with the processing, and then settle the fees according to the market price. How about three cold dishes per table, 15 cents per table? We need a total of 18 tables."

Song Ran understood that the owner wanted to save money, which was understandable. She thought about it for a moment and felt that this deal could be done.

She just needs to prepare the soy sauce, ginger, marinate the meat, and spend some firewood.

So I agreed: "Okay, Auntie, no problem. But I'll remind you in advance that the braised meat will shrink a little, so don't think I'm hiding the meat."

The eldest aunt laughed and said, "Don't worry. My Chunzhi has long told me that you are an honest person. I will bring the meat over the day after tomorrow morning. Thank you for your help."

Song Ran was so happy that he hummed a little tune as he was able to discuss a business deal on the way home.

Passing the fork in the road, at the top of the road was Damai’s house. No, it should be Maosheng’s house now. It collapsed again.

This is the third time the beam has collapsed.

Hearing the noise, many people came out with their bowls in hand to see what was happening.

"This is the third time I've come back."

"I think they have evil intentions. I heard that they didn't bring Zhou Huixin's body back to bury it. I think this is retribution."

Someone shouted inside: "Maosheng! Is he okay?"

Li Maoshan came out covered in dust and dirt.

"Maosheng! Why don't you buy a piece of land to build a house? My family is selling land. Come to me to buy it."

Li Maosheng didn't appreciate it. He glared at the man and cursed, "Get lost."

The person he was talking to didn't get angry. He took a bite of his rice and said with a smile, "You bastard."

These people just want to watch the fun and don't mind making trouble.

Song Ran pulled her younger sister and hurried home. Li Manpeng was able to walk now. She had seen this man near her home several times in the past few days and was afraid that he was here to seek revenge.

Li Maosheng probably took his anger out on Damai.

We have to keep a close eye on Da Mai, to prevent him from getting harmed by these two people when he goes out.

"Xiaogui, don't bring Damai to play in the village anymore."

Song Li glanced at Li Maoshan who was sitting on the door frame, then looked up and said to her sister, "We can't lose our freedom to go out because of this man."

"That's true. If no one is watching, something bad is bound to happen."

Seeing her sister's sad face, Song Li had no choice but to nod: "Yes, sister, I understand."
