The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 76: In order to eat well, make five-spice powder
Li Changlu cried bitterly and kept beating the ground with both hands, "Mom, my son has really made a mistake, and he will never do it again in the future."

Zhou Xiaohua shed tears while chopping meat, "Sister-in-law, why do you think my mother is so cruel? Changlu is her own son!"

Wu Cuihong didn't even raise her eyelids and snorted, "Then the mother-in-law is still Changlu's biological mother, and I don't see Changlu looking towards the mother-in-law?"

"If my mother-in-law was cruel, she would have driven your family away long ago. Will she let Li Changlu kneel down over there to reflect?"

Zhou Xiaohua was very unconvinced when she heard what her sister-in-law said, "Huh, sister-in-law, you know how to laugh. If brother were here, he might not be able to do better than our Changlu!"

"Haha!" Wu Cuihong glanced at Zhou Xiaohua, half-smiling but not smiling, and kept working on her hands, "When it comes to other things, maybe Changfu may not be able to do well, but if Liu Yunde wants to come to the house, he will definitely stop him and won't let him. Enter."

"I don't believe it!" Zhou Xiaohua retorted, "You think everyone is like a fool!"

Wu Cuihong shook her head and laughed, looking at Zhou Xiaohua with a bit more contempt, "You think the third child is stupid, but my grandpa and mother said that the third child is the smartest person in the family and the most powerful in martial arts."

"This..." Zhou Xiaohua was speechless and looked at Wu Cuihong with resentment, "Sister-in-law, my man has suffered a lot, and you still don't comfort me and ridicule me. Are we still a family?"

Wu Cuihong shook her head and laughed, "It is precisely because we are a family that I am telling you this. We are not a family, so I am too lazy to say it."

"Hurry and chop the stuffing, we will prepare the stuffing soon! If you delay my mother-in-law's cooking, I will scold you again. As for Li Changlu, let him kneel down so that he can remember it."

"Otherwise, with your temperament, you might do something even more outrageous in the future! If your mother-in-law really drives you away, you will regret it!"

Zhou Xiaohua disagreed, "What can we do that will make people angry? Sister-in-law, you will worry about things in vain!"

After Wu Cuihong said so much, seeing that Zhou Xiaohua still had a wooden head and looked like a dead pig not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, she didn't bother to say anything anymore.

Li Xiaoyue washed the long beans with the tendons removed, blanched them in a pot until they were raw, then poured them into cold water, put them in a sieve, and dried the moisture on the surface.

Li Xiaoyue brought the dried long beans into the house and said to Zhou Xiaohua: "Chop these beans and mix them with the meat filling."

Although Zhou Xiaohua dared to talk about her mother-in-law in front of her sister-in-law, when she really faced Li Xiaoyue, she didn't dare to talk back even a word, honestly.

"Mom, don't worry! I will cut it into fine pieces!"

"Yeah!" Li Xiaoyue nodded with an indifferent expression.

Zhou Xiaohua works more carefully, hoping that her mother-in-law will punish her husband less because she is so diligent.

While Gongsun Lian drank tea quietly, he carefully observed everyone in the family with his eyes and ears.

In addition, he also found Qin Yuyao sitting by the window in the house doing needlework and looking out from time to time.

Gongsun Lian lowered his head and smiled. The noisy farmhouse was full of human fireworks.

Zhou Xiaohua made the stuffing, put it in a basin, and brought it over diligently, "Mom, do you think this is okay?"

Li Xiaoyue was quite satisfied, the aroma of long beans mixed with meat lingering on the tip of her nose, "Not bad!"

Take out a small clay pot from the kitchen cabinet, open the lid, and scoop out three spoonfuls of spices from it with a wooden spoon.

这就是五香粉，用八角、小茴香、花椒、桂皮、丁香这五种佐料按照大概比例10:9:6:2:1磨成粉。

After braised the meat, almost all the remaining ingredients were ground into five-spice powder by Li Xiaoyue.

These three spoons are worth hundreds of articles.

Delicious food, really expensive.

Gongsun Lian saw Li Xiaoyue put the minced spices in it and asked: "Grind the spices into powder, if the ratio is wrong, the taste will be very strange, and the spices will be wasted."

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "I have calculated this. This ratio will make the cooking and fillings taste very good. I didn't buy too much, I just bought five spices. I gave them a name, five-spice powder. Does it sound good?"

"Ah?" Gongsun Lian was surprised, and then smiled again, "Elegance and simplicity, five-spice powder, very good."

Li Xiaoyue also laughed. Mr. Gongsun was so flattering, good at talking, and could make comments from elegance to simplicity.

Li Xiaoyue also put a little bit of sauce in it to use as soy sauce. When making the buns, after testing, it can indeed improve the freshness.

Dumpling fillings will definitely work too.

Li Xiaoyue put in the salt and all the seasonings, beat two eggs after the meal, and quickly mixed them in one direction.Gongsun Lian didn't say anything, he just watched from the side.

As he stirred, Gongsun Lian found that the filling became more fragrant.

Li Xiaoyue adjusted the fillings, took out the cooked noodles, cut off a piece, quickly rolled it into a long strip, rolled it into a round shape on the table, and cut it into a small dough.

Sprinkle with flour and press in one piece at a time.

Li Xiaoyue took a rolling pin and started rolling the dough, "Cuihong, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Wu Cuihong agreed. It was obvious at first glance that this kind of work was not difficult, and she could still make it rounder and better than her mother-in-law.

Wu Cuihong was fast, and Li Xiaoyue sat down, holding the dumpling wrapper in one hand and scooping out the fillings with a spoon in the other.

In just one breath, Li Xiaoyue's dexterous hands wrapped the big, chubby dumplings and placed them on the clean panel.

"Ah!" Zhou Xiaohua exclaimed, "Mom, isn't this just a vegetable box for sitting?"

Li Changle, who was standing next to him, also washed his hands and came to help, "The leek box looks like half a moon, which obviously looks like an ear. Mom, what do you think this is called?"

Li Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Gongsun Lian, "Mr. Gongsun, why don't you give me a name?"

Gongsun Lian thought for a while, and then said: "It's not possible now. It's delicious, so I'll give it a name."

The implication is that it’s not delicious and I’m too lazy to give it a name.

Li Xiaoyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She confirmed that Gongsun Lian was a foodie, and he was also an arrogant foodie!

"Okay!" Li Xiaoyue said with a smile, "Maybe there will be a good story left behind!"

The female relatives at home all came over to make dumplings, so Gongsun Lian couldn't stay here anymore and went to wait outside.

Qin Yuyao also came to help. She found that Gongsun Lian was very interested in novel foods.

No matter how much, Qin Yuyao will not be able to find any useful information.

Although the other party did not ask her for a specific time, Qin Yuyao always felt uneasy.

The Li family is very kind to her, especially Li Xiaoyue. Although she is not like her biological daughter, they give her enough respect.

It's just the right amount, making her feel respected but not burdening her at the same time.

Qin Yuyao sometimes worries that what she does will put the Li family in danger.

But when I thought of my grandfather who was still suffering in Lingnan, and of the very fatuous emperor, my shaken heart became firm again.

The more people there are, the faster the speed.

After a while, the several panels used to dry vegetables at home were all filled with dumplings.

The water in the cauldron is boiling.

Li Xiaoyue began to make dumplings by herself, and the white dumplings floated on the water, rolling with the boiling water.

Li Xiaoyue took out the dumplings with a strainer and took them out for Mr. Gongsun to taste.

Wu Cuihong and Zhou Xiaohua were responsible for cooking the remaining dumplings and serving everyone's dinner.

Outside, Gongsun Lian was scolding Niu Dazhuang, "Such a big man can't even speak. Can't he finish it in one sitting?"

He blamed Niu Dazhuang for the embarrassing incident of his beard falling off.

Niu Dazhuang was very innocent and blinked his eyes, "It's unfair, Military Advisor, I wanted to say that, but you ran away in a hurry and I couldn't catch up. Military Advisor, you panicked as soon as you encountered Aunt Li's matter. You are no longer that person." He is a calm and wily strategist."

"Shut up! You're just talking nonsense!" Gongsun Lian pretended to be angry, "If you do it again in the future, I'll slap you."
