After dinner, Lin Changyou wrote Lin Lan's horoscope to Li Xiangyang. They discussed when to go to Shilian. Since Lin Lan's business couldn't go away, they agreed that Brother Yong and Lin Yuezhen would go there tomorrow.
First go back to Shilian to get the certificate, then go back to Dongshi to get the certificate.
After Lin Yuezhen and Brother Yong come back from Shilian, Li Xiangyang and Lin Lan will go back.
Lin Lan watched Li Xiangyang and Brother Yong leave, and suddenly remembered what the Grand Duke had said to her in July and a half, and felt a little worried. If there really was a master of eight characters these days, he would most likely calculate that the original owner had died young.
Then I thought about it, it wouldn't matter if I figured it out. I would bite myself to death and refuse to admit it. Now is the new society. No one dares to tie themselves up as ghosts and burn them to death. If the Li family is taboo, just return the things to his family.
People are easy to talk to and easy to talk to!
Lin Lan made up her mind and continued kneading the dough to make pumpkin pie.
Lin Changyou took the bamboo slices and bamboo strips to the private plot, helped Lin Lan fix the fence, and then weeded the grass with a hoe.
When Brother Wang Zhixue arrived, Lin Lan sent the goods to them, packed up the cakes set up in the stall and put them on the cart, went to the kitchen to pick up Li Xiangyang, cut them into large pieces of pig's trotters, put cold water into the pot and boiled over high heat until cooked
Bleeding foam.
Boil half a pot of hot water in a casserole, add an appropriate amount of red dates, wolfberry, barley rice, soaked dried mushrooms, a few slices of ham...
Then wash the boiled pig's trotters with warm water and put them in a casserole, then add the green onions.
Lin Lan said to Lin Yuezhen: "Sister, after the pig's trotters in the casserole are boiled over high heat, reduce the heat to low and simmer until rake."
Lin Yuezhen came in with the tube bone and gestured: "Do you want to make soup with the tube bone?"
Lin Lan nodded: "Yeah! Fight it out. Before six o'clock, you go to the Zhao's house of the second team, bring back the sweet duck I ordered, and send one to the third sister's house. Oh! There is also duck blood, ask him if he has it
If you don’t have any duck intestines, buy a pound of them.”
Lin Yuezhen nodded in agreement, and Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang dragged the cart away.
Lin Yuezhen chopped the meatballs, carried the vegetable basket to the vegetable field, pinched pea tips, cut lettuce... washed them and put them in a basket for hot pot at night.
Xiaodouzi came home from school and took Lin Changyou to Zhao's house to get back Sweet Duck and Xuewang. Lin Lan closed the stall and returned home just after the grandfather and grandson left.
Lin Yuezhen told her that the pig's trotters had been stewed and the bone soup had been stewed. Lin Lan asked her to put the washed vegetables on separate plates.
She lit the charcoal she had saved in the stove and put it into the iron stove, which was insulated with clay and a wooden box at the bottom of the hot pot table. The two of them carried the hot pot table to the main room and poured the pig's trotters into a copper basin.
Be ready to eat when the others arrive.
Lin Lan chopped green onions, ginger, garlic, and coriander, scooped out a spoonful of black bean paste, chopped it, mixed red oil sea pepper, white sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and peppercorn oil, and made a large bowl of dipping water.
After a while, Xiaodouzi and Lin Changyou returned home carrying a sweet-skinned duck, duck blood, and duck intestines.
Lin Lan boiled the water, covered the charcoal fire in the stove, poured the duck blood into small pieces into the boiling water, simmered it over low heat for a few minutes, picked up a piece with a colander and cut it open. When he saw that there was no blood red inside, he cut it into pieces.
Remove the cooked duck blood and pour it into water, clean it and put it on a plate.
Brother Yong arrived a while later, and so did Lao Li and Li Xiangyang. Seeing Lao Li's cheerful look, Lin Lan knew that Mr. Bazi had not calculated her origin.
"In-laws, please come in and sit down!" Lin Changyou smiled and welcomed Lao Li into the main room.
With a smile on his face, Lao Li and Lin Changyou entered the main room and showed Lin Changyou the days calculated by his husband.
"My husband combined his horoscopes and said that Lin Lan and Xiang Yang are a good match. He helped pick a date. They will get engaged on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month and have a wedding party on the eighth day of April next year."
"Okay! Let's do it for them according to the date chosen by the husband."
The two discussed happily. When Lin Changyou heard that Lao Li had prepared such a heavy betrothal gift, he didn't know what to say. He just silently decided to discuss it with his sons after going back and prepare some dowry for Lin Lan.
.
Lin Lan and others brought the dishes and dishes to the main room after dipping them in water. The pig's trotters in the copper pot were already boiling, exuding a burst of fragrance.
Stewed soft and glutinous pig's trotters full of collagen, dry and fragrant mushrooms, refreshing lettuce leaves, pea tips, tender duck blood...
It was a cold day and they were sweating profusely from eating. Lin Changyou and Lao Li thought it was really good to eat hot pot in the cold weather.
Xiaodouzi held a duck leg in his hand and ate it with his mouth full of oil. While eating, he asked Lin Lan, when will the barbecue be made?
****
Early the next morning, Brother Yong, Lin Yuezhen and Lin Changyou took the car back to Shilian. After dinner at Lin Changyou's house, they went to Lin Guohui's house to tell them about their wedding on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month and invite them.
Go have a wedding drink.
After going up the mountain, he met Lin Guoliang halfway. After greeting a few people, Lin Guoliang said to Lin Changyou: "Dad, fortunately you came back early. I also plan to take Qiaohui to Xiaolan's house by car in the afternoon!"
"Qiaohui is here! Are your aunt and uncle okay?" Lin Changyou asked.
"What a good thing!" Lin Guoliang shook his head repeatedly, "I eat potatoes, red potatoes, and corn noodles every meal, and I'm still not full."
After hearing this, Lin Changyou asked: "Have you asked them if they have big white beans?"
"Yes, there are dried mushrooms, beans, old pumpkins, etc., but I can't exchange them for money. I told my aunt to ask her to plant more large white beans and the like next spring, and we will harvest them then."
"Well! You can go into the mountains again in the spring."
Lin Guoliang nodded and looked at Lin Yuezhen: "Yuezhen and Ayong are having a banquet?"
Lin Yuezhen blushed and nodded. Brother Yong smiled and said, "On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, eldest brother will go to our place for a wedding banquet."
Lin Guoliang smiled cheerfully and said: "Okay! I must go!"
A few people arrived at Lin's house chatting and laughing.
Lin Changyou saw Qiaohui squatting in front of the well washing vegetables and smiled: "Qiaohui is here!"
Qiaohui stood up and nodded with a smile: "Second aunt, you are back!" The little girl looked delicate and delicate, but she was too thin.
When Wu Shufen saw them coming back, she quickly killed the chickens, washed the vegetables, and prepared for lunch.
After a while, Zhao Xiaohui and Zhang Xiuqing also came to help.
Before the meal was ready, Lin Guohui came to Lin Changyou's house and said to Lin Yuezhen with a smile: "Sister, Chunlan and I heard that you were back, so we specially killed the chicken and invited you to my house for dinner."
They heard from the Zhao family's sister-in-law two days ago that Lin Yuezhen found a rich man in the city. Lin Yuezhen learned how to make cakes at Lin Lan's house, and the Lin family also bought a front house in the city.
After hearing this, the couple started to make a bargain. They wanted to go to Lin Lan's house immediately to find Lin Yuezhen. Not to mention how much gift money her man would give her, at least she would teach them the skills that Lin Lan taught her, and they would also sell cakes and make a lot of money.
Buying a house requires three turns and one ring.
Lin Yuezhen felt mixed emotions in her heart. She looked at him for a while and shook her head, gesturing: "We are not going to your house for dinner. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Brother Yong and I will hold a wedding reception. If you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to, forget it."
"Sister, my biological sister!" Lin Guohui shouted with tears in his eyes, and slapped himself twice, "I'm not a human being, I shouldn't treat you like that. We are biological siblings with broken bones and connected tendons, please.
Forgive me, otherwise how can I have the nerve to see mom and the old man in the future!"
