Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 12

When Ye An returned home and brewed orange ginger tea for the family, the aroma of oranges and the warm feeling of ginger made them understand why it was so popular.

Ye An smashed the sweet taste in his mouth: "It's really good, it's delicious and warms up, no wonder I have to queue up to buy it today."

"Then do you know how to do it?"

Ye An glared at Mrs. Li, and said straightforwardly: "Ask me? Cooking is not all your women's business. Mrs. Wang is your sister-in-law. Think about how she usually cooks."

Mrs. Li really doesn't know how Mrs. Wang cooks. When Mrs. Wang used to work, she used to excuse her son to be lazy. Let’s do a little bit first.”

Xiao Li is stingy, she found a few sour oranges that no one eats at home, peeled them and chopped them with a small piece of ginger, then poured them into the pot for cooking.The result was that the ginger was still hard when it was mushy, or that the orange and ginger flavors couldn't be mixed at all, so she didn't dare to show it to everyone.

Mrs. Li hid in the kitchen and was busy working, but the kitchen didn’t smell of orange and ginger tea, so the Ye family knew it had failed, and Ye An couldn’t help complaining: “Who’s daughter-in-law in the village can’t live well on the stove? His daughter-in-law is not good, and Wang’s family can’t even cook decent food when they split up.”

Mrs. Li is Mrs. Li's natal niece. She personally arranged the marriage at the beginning, but Ye An was also very willing to marry at that time. After more than ten years, she came to complain about finding a daughter-in-law who couldn't cook well. .This is not blaming his daughter-in-law, it is clearly blaming himself for not being able to look at people, Li coughed heavily angrily.

"You really need to learn how to cook on the stove. It's just this time that you give her a sample. When the orange ginger tea is made, you can teach her." Ye Wan is not reconciled, he can only hope Yu Li.

"I'll do it!" Li agreed, and when she got to the kitchen and saw the mess in the pot and the orange peels next to it, she knew it was the ones at home who were too sour to eat. I can't help but have some opinions on Mrs. Li in my heart.Why are you still so petty after all these years, spent four hundred renminbi, and only made a few sour oranges that no one wants, and don't think about how much sugar you have to put in to make it the same as the ones sold? !
After Dali delivered oranges to Ye Xing the next day, Mrs. Li hurriedly stopped him at the entrance of the village: "Hey, wait a minute, I want to buy oranges."

Mrs. Li looked at the oranges on the cart and asked, "What kind of oranges did they buy from the one you often send?"

Dali pointed to the cheapest one, and Mrs. Li curled her lips. Sure enough, Mrs. Wang is also a petty man, but she doesn't know that the oranges from Dali's family have the same taste, and the difference in price is only because of the shape.Mrs. Li wanted to make better orange ginger tea, so she bought half a cage of the best one.Dali didn't expect that he would miss it, that someone in this countryside would be willing to buy such expensive oranges.

When Mrs. Li ordered Ye An and his wife to carry fifty catties of oranges home together, Aunt Chen saw her. She stepped forward on purpose and said, "Hey, why did you buy so many oranges? Maybe you should follow the example of Mrs. Wang's mother and daughter." Go to Fucheng to make money?"

Mrs. Li is not willing to be laughed at by Mrs. Chen, so she can only vaguely say: "Well, we have a lot of family members, and I like to eat oranges recently. The weather is cold and I am not afraid of bad weather, and I can use them to entertain guests later."

After returning home, Mrs. Li threw herself into the kitchen to make her orange ginger tea. At first, she didn't know what to do. She just cooked the orange and ginger together. Although the sugar was added, the taste was barely palatable, but it didn't feel like a thick sauce.

Li took out the sauce she bought and tasted it carefully, and dug out a lot to see. Although she hadn't cooked for many years, she still found that the strips in the sauce that were about to melt were orange peels.Mrs. Li was refreshed, and hurriedly cut the orange peel into strips according to the gourd drawing, put them into the chopped pulp and minced ginger, and boiled them together.

Mrs. Li saw that it was almost ready, so she didn't taste it herself, and just brought out the sauce for everyone to see.

"Wow, she's really amazing. This sauce looks similar to that." Ye An felt that Qian was waving at him, and couldn't wait to dig a spoonful of water to drink. As soon as he drank it, Ye An fell silent.

Li felt that Ye An's expression was wrong, so she also took a sip, instead of the sweetness of oranges and the mild spicy taste of ginger, there was a lot of bitterness in her mouth.

"How could this be? They obviously only made these things."

"Mother, is there not enough sugar?" Xiao Li said weakly from the side.

"Do you think I'm as petty as you, and I can't bear to put in more sugar?" Li Shi couldn't believe that she had failed. She walked around thinking about which step went wrong, and suddenly thought of a way, "I see, Tangerine The skin has not been cooked, and if it is cooked for a little longer, the bitterness will disappear.”

Mrs. Li rushed into the kitchen immediately, boiled the orange peels again and boiled them together again, but the orange peels were boiled for too long and completely softened, and too much water came out after adding them in, not only the bitter taste remained , even the orange flavor has faded.

Unable to accept the failure, Mrs. Li continued to cook. Who knew that the longer the cooking time, the more bitter the orange peel would taste. She failed again.

Now everyone in the Ye family knows that Orange Ginger Tea is not as simple as it seems. After all, Wanjia Washe has tried to reproduce it, but it always feels that it is not so harmonious, let alone this kind of tea that I thought about at home.

In addition to buying [-] catties of high-quality oranges, using a bunch of sugar and buying a can of tea, Lin Lin always spent [-] Wen, which made Ye's family feel so distressed that they couldn't eat, and Ye Jizong didn't Dare to mention the matter of giving tea to Mr.

The remaining half of the tangerines in the Ye family could only be eaten with tears in their eyes. After all, this is a high-quality product. The Ye family didn't want to make others cheaper, so everyone worked hard to eat it, and everyone's faces turned yellow a lot.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but joked: "No matter how delicious the oranges are, you can't eat so many. Look, even Jizu's little face is sallow. I don't know where I thought he escaped from disaster!"

The Ye family bought dozens of catties of oranges, and Mrs. Chen has already publicized it everywhere. Besides, the Ye family’s cooking in the kitchen two days ago, everyone in the village knows that they are envious of Ye Xing’s money and want to share a piece of it. Good things deliberately followed suit.

"How could Uncle Wan's family flee from disaster? He is good at this food. Minger's family likes to eat bacon, and they can buy fifty catties of it every day. It doesn't matter if their face turns black."

Mrs. Li became even more angry at what you said and I said. She used to eat oranges and got angry until her nose sprayed hot air, but now she recovered and had sores in her mouth. Mrs. Li also fell ill and felt uncomfortable everywhere.Ye Wan could only spend another sum of money to invite a doctor to see a doctor, and to prepare several pairs of medicines for the whole family. Not to mention spending a lot of money, the old doctor told him before leaving: "If you like oranges, eat less. some."

In the next few days, the Ye family's old house lingered with a lingering smell of medicine. Everyone from Ye Wan to Ye Jizu had to drink the fire-reducing medicine. This matter could not escape the fate of being widely spread by the Chen family.When Ye Xing heard it from Da Niu, she was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of rice that night, and almost couldn't sleep.
