Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

Yang Li tasted one of the peanut candies and felt so sweet that it went straight to her heart. It must have been expensive.

It must have been bought by Xu Wangshi out of love for her daughter.

The daughter she loved was definitely not the eldest daughter, even though she still thought of Xu Si Nong today.

However, the one who dotes on the one at home and leaves the leftovers for the one she is married to has now found his conscience.

Oh, the scraps here are so expensive...

Yang Li was nagging about the Xu family and was also reminding her to exchange all the money the family had saved during this period for food when she returned.

……

After hiding the 48 unused pieces of oil paper in her clothes, Xu Siyu returned to Xinshan Village carrying four pounds of meat, half a pound of peanut candy, and four ounces of cloud cake.

Xu Wang came forward from afar and helped her take off the backpack.

The old lady rummaged through a pile of things and took out two strips of pork belly weighing about two pounds. She nodded with satisfaction and handed them to her eldest daughter-in-law, He Xiangmei.

"Cut this meat into two pieces and stew one today. Rub some salt on the rest and hang it from the beam."

A fish weighs two pounds, but after it is cut into pieces, only one pound is left. Half of it will go into the sister-in-law's mouth. There are more than a dozen people in the family, and it is difficult to have meat. After it is divided among the men and grandchildren, the daughters-in-law may not even get a bite.

He Xiangmei took the meat in her hand, but her expression was shy.

"No need to change the knife. Make one today and the other in two days." Xu Siyu helped Xu Wangshi make the decision again.

"Oh." He Xiangmei hurried to the kitchen, not giving Xu Wangshi time to refuse.

This posture is very similar to the way Xu Nianyue took the eggs away in the morning, otherwise they would be mother and daughter.

Mrs. Xu Wang did not object to Xu Siyu's arrangement, but she felt a pain in her heart and slapped her youngest daughter on the back to express her dissatisfaction.

"Ouch, mother, it hurts!" Xu Siyu opened the package of peanut candy, picked up one and stuffed it into Xu Wangshi's mouth.

Then, he took Xu Wangshi's arm, shook her, and asked with a smile: "Mom, is it sweet?"

Sweet! How can it not be sweet!

A filial daughter is sweeter than sugar!

Seeing so many pairs of shoes still waiting to be seen, the old lady put the remaining things into the cabinet, dug out a few candies, and gave them to her eldest grandson and second granddaughter, "Get out quickly, don't stand here!"

The two of them got the candy and ran away without looking back.

The old lady glanced at her second daughter-in-law who was sitting on the stool, still staring at her food cabinet, and said angrily: "Why don't you go help your sister-in-law cook? You're just waiting for the food to be ready, what a lazy woman!"

Xu Siyu chimed in: "Second sister-in-law, eldest sister-in-law is in the kitchen. It's very convenient to pick up a piece of meat or two..."

The second son's wife, Su Li, looked at her and immediately understood. She then stood up and went to the kitchen.

She knew that Xu Siyu asked her sister-in-law to cook a large piece of meat, but she wanted to give a bowl of meat to Xu Laoer, and there would not be much for others to share. Her sister-in-law would get the meat first because she was close to the food, so she would always steal a few bites, so she had to watch over it.

"A bunch of hungry people!" The old lady was stunned for a moment, then turned to Xu Siyu with concern, "My daughter, you must be tired after walking such a long way today. I'll leave these things for you, okay?"

Xu Siyu nodded. This was the old lady’s love for the original owner.

She wanted to have fun with her family, but she was also addicted to this unique preference.

"By the way, with those two pieces of fabric Wang Daya sent, do you want to make a top or a skirt? I'm thinking of making the green one into a half-jacket and the red one into a skirt. It's just the right size to make a new outfit. When spring comes and my daughter wears it, she'll definitely be the most eye-catching girl in Xinshan Village!"

It is impossible for red and green to not be eye-catching.

Xu Siyu couldn't accept such a divine color combination and quickly refused, "Mom, please make a red dress for Ah Yue. She will be getting married next year, so she needs to prepare some new clothes."

After eating the candy, Xu Nianyue went to the kitchen to help and found that her mother and second aunt had not picked rice for her aunt. She came to Xu Wangshi to get the rice and happened to hear Xu Siyu's words.

Seeing someone standing at the door, Xu Wangshi reluctantly said, "That's fine, so that people won't say I value my daughter more than my granddaughter."

Xu Nianyue looked at Xu Wangshi and Xu Siyu with gratitude, and happily went back to the kitchen with half a bowl of rice to get busy.

After dark, everyone returned.

The same old rules were followed at the dinner table: rice soup and steamed buns were divided into portions, pickles were placed slightly to the left of the center, and right in the middle was the focal point of the family – the meat.

Today, two pounds of meat were divided into three bowls. One bowl was for Xu Siyu, one bowl was said to be for the second brother, and there was one bowl left. Each person could get about two pieces, and now they had to wait for Xu Wangshi to divide the meat.

In years of disaster, the harvest was low and every household could only eat until they were 70% full.

This table is already filled with the best food.

They looked at the meat and swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

Sure enough, there was a bowl on each side, leaving only one bowl in the middle.

Xu Wangshi spoke up, "Don't say I'm reluctant to give you any. No one gets two pieces left over, and if there's any left, the eldest and third will share. Eldest and third, you see the meat is being taken by the second, but I'll give you each a piece of new cloth. The one from the eldest brother goes to make Yue a new dress for going out; and the one from the third brother, you decide who to give it to."

Xu Wangshi announced her allocation, and before anyone else could speak, the old lady gave the order, "Dinner!"

Everyone is busy grabbing the meat...

Xu Siyu looked at everyone eating with relish. Holding the steamed bun dipped in oil and soup, a happy smile appeared on her pale and thin face.

I really feel that there is still a long way to go to improve our lives.

It's just pork, but it tastes like some kind of delicacies from land and sea.

Xu Siyu also tasted it. There was no spices, just a little bit of salt. At most, it was not bad, but it was not as delicious as they made it seem!

She felt very uncomfortable and pushed the bowl of meat in front of her to Xu Wangshi.

Then he leaned over quietly and whispered to Xu Wangshi's ear, saying that before going home, her elder sister treated her to a bowl of wontons and she was not hungry, so she asked Xu Wangshi to eat more.

The old lady was moved again, and felt that the pork was like dragon meat. She wanted to fulfill her little daughter's wish for her to be healthy and live a long life.

……

After dinner, Xu Siyu found her third brother Xu Huaize to inquire about the news.

"Third brother, I heard that restaurants charge high prices for festive cakes near the New Year. Can you tell me what the general requirements are?"

Xu Siyu was not just strolling around the town today. She originally wanted to resell some rice and noodles directly, but after looking around, she found that the quality of the products she could buy from Pinduoduo was really beyond reality.

This town is so close to Xinshan Village. If someone comes to find her, she won't be able to explain herself.

From what I have inquired about so far, it seems possible that the restaurant in the town is collecting cakes.

"Why are you asking this?"

"Hey, your sister, I want to try making a few things in exchange for a reward?"

"you?"

"Ah! Why don't you believe it? Have you forgotten that when Master's Wife was still alive, I often went to her garden to accompany her. She had many delicious cakes there, all made by Master's Wife herself. I'm telling you secretly, Master's Wife gave me the recipe..."
