The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Next, Ru Yue began to prepare New Year gifts for several families.

She asked Meng Dalin's wife to buy ten kilograms of pork and ten kilograms of mutton when she went shopping for vegetables. There were almost no green vegetables at that time, but fortunately there were still celery and green onions. It seemed that she could still give the New Year's gift.

She told Meng Dalin's wife to chop the meat into stuffing, pairing green onions with mutton, celery with pork, and all kinds of seasonings. No one could figure out what she was going to cook, and everyone in the workshop felt as itchy as if they had been bitten by a cat.

The auspicious dough was ready, and Ruyue began teaching the two how to make dumplings. That's right, Ruyue wanted to make dumplings, something not available in this era, and give them as New Year gifts. They had good meaning, tasted good, and most importantly, no one had ever seen them before. While dumplings were a delicious treat, they were too easy to copy, and anyone could easily learn how to make them. Instead, it would be better to give them as a small gift.

Ru Yue rolled out the dough and began to teach the two girls how to make dumplings. It must be said that women in ancient times had very dexterous hands. After just a few tries, the two girls made dumplings even more beautifully than her teacher. The three of them divided the work and cooperated with each other. Everyone in the shop had a fresh meal and they all praised these dumplings.

It took only two days to make six hundred dumplings. Luckily, the weather had reached freezing point, so the dumplings could be frozen right after they were made without spoiling. She had people buy a few food boxes, each containing a hundred dumplings of each filling. Considering that people these days wouldn't eat this kind of food, she had Chu Ning'an write down several ways to eat the dumplings and put them in the boxes.

After finishing all these, Ru Yue went to "Ming Yue Xiaolou" and found Madam Guan. She told her that she had developed a new food and asked her to arrange someone to learn it. Then the shop in the city would need to teach it to the people in other shops. Madam Guan did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly found the baking chef in the kitchen to come and learn.

After a short day, Ru Yue had them beating egg whites until their hands were sore. At first, no one could believe how watery egg whites could be whipped into a fine, white foam. But when the grown men, their arms practically paralyzed, finally saw what Ru Yue had ordered, they all grumbled, thinking that if the shop ever really served this dish, beating the egg whites would probably wear them out. But when they tasted the freshly baked, golden, sweet, and fluffy chiffon cake, all their previous fatigue was forgotten, and they all marveled at the possibility of such a delicious pastry.

Looking at the packaged food, Ru Yue looked at Chu Ning'an and smiled with relief.

Chu Ning'an helped her organize the three New Year gifts. Each gift contained two hundred dumplings, two chiffon cakes, and two jars of chili sauce. These things were very common to Ru Yue, but they were really rare in this era. The most important thing was that you couldn't buy them even if you had money, at least not now.

Early the next morning, Chu Ning'an drove the car and Ru Yue came with New Year gifts.

Huo Mansion.

The carriage stopped at the side door of the Huo family, and it was Uncle Bing who opened the door.

"Miss Meng is here, come in quickly. If the young lady and the young master knew you were here, they would be extremely happy." When he saw Chu Ning'an, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Who is this handsome and kind young man?

Chu Ning'an saw through Uncle Bing's thoughts. In fact, he had long been accustomed to the way people looked at him. He had known since he was a child that his good looks made many people look at him differently. He smiled kindly at Uncle Bing, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Hello, Uncle Bing, my dear Chu Ning'an, thank you for taking care of Ru Yue."

"Okay, okay." It turned out that this was Miss Ru Yue's fiancé, a truly handsome and elegant man.

"Ruyue, you're here." "Sister Ruyue is here." Huo Tingwan and her brother ran out in a hurry and shouted in unison.

"Sister Huo, Ah Heng, I'm here to give you New Year's gifts." She pulled Chu Ning'an over and greeted the siblings, "This is the Chu Ning'an I told you about."

Chu Ning'an was also slightly stunned. He didn't expect Ru Yue to mention him to them.

"Well, he's really a handsome man." Huo Tingwan said jokingly, "What good things did you bring? Tell me about it."

Ah Heng saw that his sister was so unreliable. It was unreasonable for a girl to receive a man from outside the family, even if it was her fiancé. He had to step forward to make amends, "Sister Ruyue, you play with my sister first, I will take Brother Chu to see my father."

Ru Yue could see that although Ah Heng was young, he was mature and more prudent than Huo Tingwan.

"That's fine. I brought some fresh food. If Uncle Huo is not busy, you can come over and try it later."

Ah Heng agreed and took Chu Ning'an to the front yard where Magistrate Huo was.

The cake that Ru Yue brought immediately captured Huo Tingwan's heart. She was so hooked on such delicious pastries. The dumplings also made Magistrate Huo and Ah Heng praise them highly. They kept praising Ru Yue for how she could make such delicious food by wrapping meat filling in dough.
