In the book, I was fed by my sister

Song Li took a hammer and smashed it hard against the chicken bone, making a crisp sound. With her skillful movements, the chicken bone broke.

The two wild cats surrounded Song Li, sticking out their tongues, eager to taste the leftovers. But they didn't dare to act rashly, and waited until Song Li handed the broken chicken bones to them before licking the leftovers on the ground with their tongues.

Song Ran blanchs the boneless chicken repeatedly in boiling water until the skin turns yellow, then drains the water.

Next, Song Ran flattened the ginger and scallion segments and rubbed them to release the water, so that the aroma of the scallion and ginger could be fully released, and then evenly spread the scallion and ginger water on the chicken.

Rub salt evenly all over the chicken.

Then start preparing the eight treasures.

The eight treasures here include glutinous rice, Chinese sausage, dried mushrooms, peanuts, onions, salted duck eggs, peas and dried shrimps.

First, steam the glutinous rice and salted duck egg yolks.

Next, dice the Chinese sausage, dried mushrooms, and dried shrimps. Add onions, peanuts, mushroom cubes, and Chinese sausage cubes into a pan and sauté until fragrant.

After stir-frying, mix the eight ingredients evenly and stuff them into the chicken.

The originally soft chicken was stuffed with eight treasures until it was swollen, and white cotton thread was used to sew the chicken's belly tightly.

Apply a layer of oil to make the chicken more juicy.

The chicken is then wrapped in lotus leaves, the aroma of which adds a hint of fresh flavor to the chicken.

Finally, put the wrapped lotus leaf chicken into the pot and steam it over high heat.

The chicken would take some time to be steamed, so Song Ran strolled off to see her little donkey.

"Ku ...

Song Ran was puzzled. Who came here in the middle of the day?

Song Li was teasing the wild cat, stood up and looked towards the gate.

"Oh, sister, this is great news!" Song Ran stared. When she opened the door, she saw the matchmaker standing in front of the door with a smile on her face.

Then they pried open her hand that was holding the door, and two groups of people walked in one after another.

Song Li was also surprised this time.

Why is Bai Xiuwen here again? Not only Bai Xiuwen, but this time there is another short and strong man.

Matchmaker Hua was a little embarrassed. Last time she came, she was arranging a marriage for Bai Xiuwen, but this time she came for another man. The key point was that the two of them bumped into each other.

However, she will speak for whoever gives her money.

She couldn't let the boy from the Bai family finalize this marriage, otherwise she wouldn't get the money as a matchmaker!

"Oh, why is Mr. Bai here again? Didn't he leave without looking back last time? Miss Song, you still remember him, right?" Matchmaker Hua deliberately brought up what happened last time, trying to make Song Ran recall those bad things.

Bai Xiuwen had made full plans for this trip. As the saying goes, three times is the limit. He believed that he and Miss Song were destined to be together. Otherwise, why would they have three blind dates? So before he came, he reminded himself that he must impress Miss Song no matter what.

Song Ran held her forehead with her hand. What were these people doing? Why did they choose to bully her, a girl of marriageable age in this village?

"Oh, it smells so good!" At this time, Li Wanyue acted like a hostess and walked towards the kitchen following the fragrance.

Song Li patted the buttocks of the two wild cats. They often ate Song Li's food, so naturally they could relate to her.

The two wild cats immediately bared their teeth and panted at Li Wanyue. They were wild creatures, and they were really scary when they got angry.

Song Ran said, "Aunt, these two wild cats are stubborn, don't get close to them, or they'll scratch you. If they don't have an owner, no one will pay for your medical expenses."

The matchmaker smiled and said, "Oh, it seems that you didn't have enough food. You just came here and pushed in front of the stove of someone else's house. Sister, you were disturbed by this man and forgot to tell you the real business."

As she spoke, the matchmaker pulled a young man in front of Song Ran. The man's face turned red with shame. He glanced at Song Ran quickly, then lowered his head, not daring to look again.

"This is Li Junlan's nephew, Li Qinghe. Sister Junlan, please tell me the situation."

Song Ran's parents were from the north and were quite tall. The man stood in front of her and lowered his head. Song Ran could see his shiny head.

Li Junlan came forward, gently poked Li Qinghe's waist, and said with a smile: "Qinghe is just seeing life, and has an introverted personality. You just need to get along with him more in the future. My Qinghe works hard, is honest, and has a lot of strength. He is a good plowman."

At this time, Bai Xiuwen laughed out loud. He took a look at the man. From his appearance, he was no match for him. After listening to the man's description, he probably couldn't read. He felt that he had a good chance of winning, and said sarcastically: "You are not a cow, why do you need so much strength?"

Li Qinghe understood Bai Xiuwen's ridicule, and he also knew that Bai Xiuwen was also here for a blind date with Song Ran. He couldn't let Bai Xiuwen look down on him and lose face in front of Song Ran, "Uncle, this is not right. We are all farmers, how can we take care of the fields if we don't have the strength?"

"Big...big uncle?"

Bai Xiuwen couldn't believe his ears. This black kid actually called him uncle.

The matchmaker laughed cheerfully and said, "Qinghe is only fifteen, so it's not too much for me to call you uncle. Sister, it is said that a woman three years older than a man is as rich as a man, although you two are only three years apart in age. But I'm an experienced person, and it's better to have a young and energetic partner." She patted Song Ran's shoulder, her eyes revealing the wisdom of an experienced person.

Song Ran was struck by lightning by the matchmaker's words.

The two old men present were also so angry at the matchmaker's words that their faces turned red.

Bai Xiuwen strode over and stood beside Li Qinghe, with a sneer on his face and his eyes full of provocation towards Li Qinghe.

Li Qinghe felt that Bai Xiuwen was staring at him, so he raised his head and chest and looked back.

Although Bai Xiuwen was a little bit better looking than him, he was younger. Hua Matchmaker reminded him that there were blind dates lined up later, so he had to seize this opportunity.

Bai Xiuwen asked: "Hey... little brother, have you ever read any books?" He deliberately lengthened his voice, his tone full of superiority.

"I haven't read it, why are you asking this?" Li Qinghe replied with his neck stiff.

"What kind of job can you do?" Bai Xiuwen continued to ask.

"Farming, what's wrong?"

"With no education and no job, life is just a dull one." Bai Xiuwen shook his head, his tone full of regret.

"What's the matter with death? You're just saying bad things. Can you tell the difference between rice and wheat? Can you drive a cow? How many acres of land can you turn in a day?"

"Life is not just about having a small piece of land. We also need flowers and the moon. Miss Song, do you think what I said is right?" Bai Xiuwen turned to Song Ran, his eyes full of anticipation.

"You old white-faced man! The moon in the village is not as round as the one in your city? The flowers are not as fragrant as the ones in your city? You are saying some incomprehensible and sour words. Miss Song, please don't let him talk nonsense. He just reads too many books and wants to beat around the bush for us."

The matchmaker said, "That's right. We are all farmers. Sister, we still have to be pragmatic."

Song Li sat on a stool, gently stroking the cat's head with both hands, her eyes fixed on the figures of two men in the yard who were attacking each other and exposing each other's shortcomings.

Now it seems that this farce is quite interesting.

"Oooh--Oooh--Oooh--" the donkey let out a loud bray, interrupting the quarrel between the two men.

Song Ran looked at the donkey and said distressedly: "My donkey is probably hungry, and you probably haven't eaten yet either."

"Yes, yes." Several people nodded. They had long been greedy for the aroma of chicken coming from the kitchen. Hearing Song Ran say this, it seemed that he was going to keep them for dinner.

"Then I won't see you off. My little sister and I should have lunch." Song Ran said with a smile, looking at everyone.

Everyone?

The matchmaker laughed awkwardly and said, "Sister, what do you think of Qinghe?" She couldn't eat, but she had to do her job well.

Song Ran looked at the people in the yard. She knew that if she rejected this one, another would come to propose marriage. Even if she spread the word that she would not marry, there would still be many people who would come to her door. It would be better to put the conditions on the table and let most of them back off.

"My dear sister, I have no father or mother, so I have to rely on you, a famous person, to help me find a marriage."

When the matchmaker heard that there was a play, she smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth: "Great."

"Good sister, you have to help me choose a good husband."

“The people in Qinghe are very nice!”

Li Qinghe's eyes lit up.

Song Ran shook her head and said, "She's a good person, but I still like tall and good-looking men." Her words instantly discouraged Li Qinghe, while Bai Xiuwen straightened his collar with an attitude of a winner.

"Also, someone of my age, no more than three years older than me, preferably younger. If the marriage is successful, the red envelope will be generous."

Bai Xiuwen froze: "What's so good about being young?"

"What good is it to be older? It's easy to hurt your back while working, right? Qinghe brother."

Li Qinghe was touched by Song Ran and nodded rapidly: "That's right, that's right."

"After the autumn harvest, our family is going to take back the land. Brother Qinghe just heard you say that you are good at tilling the land, so we'll need you to help our family with the work for two days."

"No problem!" Li Qinghe agreed immediately.

Li Junlan looked down on her nephew's lack of ambition and stepped forward to slap him, "Go home!"
