Chapter 369
Jiang thinks crabs are too cold, so he doesn't ask children to eat more.Her own food was also limited, Mrs. Li didn't eat crabs, but a lion's head. Li Meier was afraid that Mrs. Li would eat too much and was struggling, so she said, "You should eat more food."

Mrs. Li murmured, "It's so easy to let go of the meat during the festival, but it's not allowed to be eaten. It's the meat I bought with my own money."

"It's such a big meatball, just eat one. If you want to eat it tomorrow, make it again. It's true that eating too much meat will make it difficult to digest." Li Mei'er picked up chopsticks for her to mix cold lotus root, "Try this, it's crispy and fresh. "

Well, lotus root is also a relatively expensive thing. Mrs. Li ate two chopsticks of lotus root and said, "How did you learn this lion's head? Your mother can't cook such a delicious dish."

Mrs. Li didn't pay attention at the beginning, she felt that her girl looked like her in the film, talented and intelligent or something.But now it’s not too much to deceive oneself and others. It can be said that Li Meier thought about it by herself, but why does her granddaughter cook better than others for the same dish?Especially the lion's head, she also ate it in Baiweilou, it was so delicious, it melted in her mouth once she ate it, her girl's slices were no worse than that restaurant's.

"Some are from books, some are from Shanqing brother, he told me, some people who love to eat, just like to write food books, which are all about cooking." Li Meier replied indifferently .

Mrs. Li was surprised when she heard the words, "Which cook is so knowledgeable and can write books." Mrs. Li intuitively believed that anyone who wrote recipes was a cook.

Li Meier couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "Grandmother, whoever said that a cook is a cook, those who love to eat, are so elegant, most of them are very knowledgeable scholars, that kind of people will pay attention to food It’s not too thin, like this lion’s head, it’s written in the book, and there’s a trick to it. Pork belly must be used in it to make it delicious. Some people like to fry it and then stew it. I think the pork belly is fat and doesn’t need to be fried. After stewing for a long time, the fat will naturally melt into the soup. And the soup is made of broth, so there is no need to over-fry it. Furthermore, when the soup is cooked, put the crab shells that have been peeled into the soup, and the soup will be more refined. Refreshing, the taste will be better."

Mrs. Li listened carefully, nodded and said, "These books are not bad to read." The main reason is that they are more useful. These days, girls who are good at cooking are also an advantage.

In fact, this advantage is just icing on the cake for Li Meier. She knows a little about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can make money by herself. Now there are many people around asking about her, but because she is young now, she really can't talk about marriage. Everyone has nothing to do.Wait two years and see, with such an ability to make money, the matchmaker will have to step down the threshold of her family.

The day before the Double Ninth Festival, Li Meier received an invitation that made her very distressed. With that invitation, she went to discuss with Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Li looked at the invitation and was also very surprised, she asked Li Meier, "Then the old lady of the Lu family invited us to come over to enjoy the flowers? We don't have any friendship with the Lu family, why did they invite us all of a sudden?"

Li Mei'er thought for a while, and then replied: "Maybe it's because of Aunt Zhen's relationship. Mrs. Lu and Aunt Zhen were good friends when she was young. We have a close relationship with Aunt Zhen, so she wanted to befriend us."

This is also Li Meier's guess, but she still has many things she can't figure out. Even if the old lady Lu and Aunt Zhen were friends when they were young, it was many years ago. Now the aunt has left the palace and returned to her hometown. She can be regarded as a powerless old lady. According to the nature of old lady Lu, there is no need to work hard on her.

"Then shall we go or not?" Jiang Shi was a little hesitant. She hadn't been to such a wealthy family as the Lu family, so she was inevitably a little apprehensive.

Mrs. Li didn't think too much, she patted her thigh and decided: "Go, people have already sent invitations for us, why don't you go, don't you show that you don't give face to her family? Come back, I came back with nothing to do, and I got such a precious bracelet, this time we go together, we will definitely not suffer."

Li Mei'er was a little speechless, thinking that her grandmother's decision was too hasty, but she also felt that it was not good not to go, so she nodded in agreement, "Then listen to grandmother and go!" Anyway, with grandmother and mother accompanying her, she would not fear.

Early the next morning, it was the day of the Double Ninth Festival. Li Meier went to bed together, chose clothes and began to dress up. She chose a pomegranate red chest-length skirt that she had made not long ago. The cuffs of the skirt were embroidered with branches Plum Blossom is very playful and cute, and she didn't wear any complicated buns on her head. She only wore a double bun suitable for her age, with a silk flower and a silver hairpin on her hair, which looked like a little girl.

Li Mei'er saw that the silk flowers had faded, so she went to Mrs. Li's room, cut off a half-bloomed chrysanthemum and put it on her head. Mother Lin smiled when she saw it, "It's beautiful, and it's also suitable for the season."

Li Meier was very proud, and smiled at the mirror, "It really looks better the more you look at it." She also has yellow chrysanthemums, which match her skin tone very well, and match the silk flowers on her head.

Mrs. Li saw it when she came out, and couldn't help giving her a blank look, and told her, "You are not allowed to say such crazy things outside, so that people will listen to the joke, you know?"

"I know, I know, but I can't tell the truth." Li Meier made serious comments to Mrs. Li, "Grandma, you always tell me to lie, it's not good."

Mrs. Li immediately snorted dissatisfied, "Go, go! The little girl is young, but she has a thick skin. Get up quickly, don't spoil my flowers."

Li Meier turned her head to show Li Lao Niang, "Grandmother, tell me in good conscience, is my flower hairpin good-looking?"

Mrs. Li raised her chin and snorted, glanced at the flower, and said, "The flower is not bad." This damn girl's film, it is obvious that this is the one that the old lady likes, okay?Before I have time to get the hairpin, I can grab the girl's film first!Mrs. Li was very angry that the girl was so fast, and she relied on her status and seniority, so she couldn't snatch it back from Li Mei'er.

Li Meier saw something tricky, pointed to the one that opened just right, and smiled, "This one is the best, I just keep it for grandma. Grandma sit down and ask my granddaughter to show my filial piety, how about it?"

Mrs. Li snorted again and sat down, "That's all."

Li Meier has good eyesight, so she quickly cut a flower with flower scissors, and put it on the side of the bun for Mrs. Li, then praised Mrs. Li for the beauty of the chrysanthemum hairpin, and praised Mrs. Li all over again.

Mrs. Li looked at the mirror for a while, and she felt quite satisfied, so she got up and said, "Okay, go and see if your mother's place is ready, then go to have breakfast when you are done, and we will start after eating, so as not to be late later, It seems that our family is rude."
