It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

Before going out to work in the morning, everyone only ate a bowl of thick corn porridge.

After being busy for half a day, their stomachs were already empty. When they smelled the meat coming from next door, some people's stomachs even started to growl.

Fortunately, the smell of meat didn't last long, as Song Youshan came to greet everyone to eat. The villagers first washed their hands by the stream, then walked towards the Song family, chatting and laughing.

I don't know who sighed first, "I wonder what delicious food Auntie made, it smells so good!"

"It must be a stewed chicken. I saw Aunt Wu washing the chicken by the stream early this morning."

"Erzhu, you have sharp eyes! Are you craving for stewed chicken?" Everyone laughed and teased him.

Erzhu just scratched his head and grinned foolishly.

Joking aside, everyone subconsciously swallowed their saliva when they thought about having stewed chicken in a while.

It is true that the villagers have not been living a rich life in recent years. It is rare to have a full meal on weekdays, and it is even more difficult to eat meat.

Thinking that they would be able to eat stewed chicken soon, the villagers unconsciously quickened their pace and stepped into the Song family courtyard one after another.

Wu carefully carried a large bowl of roasted chicken with soybeans and walked slowly past the villagers with a warm smile on her face, greeting everyone non-stop:

"Thank you all for your hard work today. I'm really sorry that I don't have anything delicious to treat you. Don't be disgusted. Come and sit down!" As she spoke, she quickened her pace towards the table under the pear tree.

There were two wooden tables, one large and one small, placed in the small farmyard, and all the benches and small stools had been moved out.

"Aunt, you are too polite. This roast chicken with soybeans is a main dish. How can it not be considered a good dish?"

Many villagers followed suit.

As they were talking, Song Ping and Song Zhi came over, each holding a plate of stir-fried shredded pork.

There were so many shredded meat that it almost covered all the vegetables. It filled up a large bowl and everyone was staring at it.

If this happened to them when they were working as helpers in other people's homes, the shredded meat would be so numerous that they might not be able to pick it up with one chopstick.

It's rare to find such a genuine stir-fried shredded pork dish.

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Wu forgot to move her body for a moment and then went to greet everyone to sit down. "Why are you just standing there watching? You've been busy all morning and you're tired. Everyone, sit down, sit down."

At this moment, Yang came over carefully holding a large clay pot and placed it steadily on the table.

After opening the lid, a rich aroma of corn hits your nose.

Everyone looked closely and saw that the corn porridge in the pot was extremely thick.

Such thick porridge is only specially cooked at home during the busy farming season when people go to work in the fields.

"Don't be polite, everyone, start eating!" With Mrs. Wu's call, everyone couldn't wait any longer and immediately scooped up the porridge and ate the vegetables.

After being influenced by Song Zhi for a period of time, Wu was willing to use oil and seasonings when cooking, and the dishes she made were so delicious.

Compared to the food they usually only season with salt, this is quite delicious.

The woman who had been helping to remove the bricks filled a bowl of porridge and picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks. She stood up and said, "I wonder if the chickens at home have been fed yet. I'll take the food home first, my sisters-in-law."

Seeing this, some women also followed suit and served themselves some food, making an excuse to go home and eat.

Everyone knows that they have such good things that they don’t want to give away to their children at home, so they want to take them back home to let them try them.

The woman who brought the food back was also very sensible and would never do anything that would disgust the host family or the villagers. She only took a few bites of the food with her chopsticks.

When a mother eats delicious food, who wouldn’t think about her children at home?

So the villagers also understood.

After the meal, everyone had a full stomach. After saying thank you with satisfaction, they went home to rest and returned to work half an hour later.

After entertaining the villagers, the family began to eat.

Song Zhi thought that there were so many people eating at home, and a lot of dishes needed to be prepared every day.

The little bit of vegetables grown at home is definitely not enough to eat this much, and the vegetables are limited in this season.

She thought about it and suggested to her grandmother, "Grandma, I just checked out the vegetables in the backyard. They're definitely not enough for so many people! After dinner, let's soak some beans and let them sprout."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but slap her thigh. "Look at me, why didn't I think of this? That's a great idea! I'll soak some soybeans and let them sprout. Then we'll have a dish!"

Song Zhi wanted to say that soybean sprouts take a long time to grow, usually five to seven days.

It is better to sprout mung beans, which can usually be eaten in three to four days.

But thinking that she had never seen mung bean sprouts before, she changed the subject and said, "Grandma, let's soak some green beans later."

"What's the matter? Can mung beans also sprout?" Mrs. Wu asked subconsciously.

Song Zhi wanted to nod in agreement, but then an idea struck her and she said, "Aren't soybeans and mung beans both beans? Since soybeans can sprout, mung beans must be able to sprout as well."

"Besides, it doesn't take much effort, and we already have mung beans at home, so let's give it a try. If we can make it, we can have two more dishes!"

Wu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you wish!"
