After eating the peaches, Li You said: "I just saw that the edamame in the vegetable garden is edible. I'm going to pull some edamame. It's late today and I'll cook it and eat it with wine."

Mu Qingye's eyes lit up and he said, "I'll go with you."

"Okay."

The two of them walked into the vegetable garden together.

Come to the edamame planting area. Every edamame plant has grown very well, and there are densely packed edamame pods.

And each edamame pod is very plump and looks very pleasing.

"Ingredients: soybeans.

Quality: Excellent."

It is still of high quality. Li You is very happy, but not surprised.

Because these edamame seeds are given by the system.

Edamame, also known as soybeans, is also a soybean. They are the same kind of beans.

The pods are green at this time, and after being peeled, the beans inside are also green.

People also call the edamame at this time tender beans.

If you don't eat it at this time and let it continue to grow, the pod will slowly become old. The color will change from green to brown, and it will dry and crack at the same time.

At this time, peel them open and the beans inside have turned yellow, which is the familiar soybean appearance.

It’s time to harvest.

After harvesting, peel all the beans to get the soybeans. Then dry them in the sun so that they can be stored for a long time.

Soybeans at this time are a very good ingredient and taste delicious.

However, Li You still prefers to eat soybeans during the tender bean period. Soybeans at this time taste better.

Moreover, the beans can be peeled out and only the beans can be cooked. In addition, the pods can also be directly put into the pot to cook.

After cooking, peel and eat at the same time.

In summer, this is a very popular delicacy to go with drinks at night snack stalls.

Tonight, Li You plans to cook the pods directly.

"Boss, these edamame are very good." Mu Qingye said in stunned silence.

Although she didn't know much about various crops and had rarely had the opportunity to touch edamame beans growing in the ground before, she could also see that the edamame beans in front of her were producing exceptionally well.

Just pull out one edamame plant and cook the edamame pods directly, and you will probably end up with a big pot of them.

Li You smiled and said: "The knot is a little good. Just pull it off, just pull it up by the roots. See if you can pull it up?"

"Okay, let me try."

Mu Qingye was eager to try. Then he stood firm, grabbed an edamame plant with both hands, and lifted it up with force.

Even after exerting all its strength, the edamame plant did not move at all.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up and said: "Boss, I can't do it."

Li You smiled slightly, and then grabbed an edamame plant with one hand. It seemed that with just a little effort, the entire edamame plant was uprooted.

Mu Qingye gave a thumbs up.

Li You laughed and uprooted another edamame plant.

These two plants are enough. When the edamame pods from these two plants are boiled, there is already a big pot, enough for three people to eat at night.

The two people each carried an edamame plant out of the vegetable garden and returned to the front of the store.

Li You walked into the store again, took out a basin from the kitchen, and started picking pods of edamame.

Two people do it together.

Picking the edamame pods is very fast. It didn’t take long, all the edamame pods were picked, and the pot was already full.

"Do we need to cook them all?" Mu Qingye asked.

Li You nodded, "Cook it all. If you can't finish it tonight, save it for tomorrow."

Mu Qingye nodded.

After a while, he pointed to the remaining edamame stalks and said, "Boss, is this edamame stalk still useful?"

Li You: "If you raise rabbits, the tender branches and leaves can be used to feed the rabbits. But if we don't feed the rabbits, they are of no use. Throw them into the orchard, and after they rot, they will become organic fertilizer."

Mu Qingye nodded, "Take me and throw me away."

"Okay, thank you for the hard work."

"What's the point?"

Mu Qingye picked up all the edamame stalks and walked to the orchard. Li You picked up the pot of edamame pods and walked into the kitchen.

……

The time slowly reached 5:30 in the afternoon, and the first wave of dinner guests arrived.

Mu Qingye went back upstairs, while Li You walked into the kitchen and started a new round of busy work.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Ling Xiaoru came back. After learning that she was going to eat gourds and edamame tonight, she was very much looking forward to it.

She knows about gourds and knows that young gourds can be eaten, but she has never eaten them. Let’s experience it tonight.

As for edamame, I really like eating it.

In the kitchen, Li You started cooking edamame pods.

When cooking edamame pods, you can only add salt and nothing else. It will be delicious when cooked, because the ingredients themselves are delicious.

There is no need to do any seasoning except adding some salt.

Of course, it would be better if you add some star anise, bay leaves, dried chili and other seasonings to make the taste even better.

Therefore, Li You added some star anise, bay leaves, dried chili peppers and other seasonings.

There are so many edamame pods and gourds tonight, and I just need to make a mapo tofu to eat with it.

There are many ways to eat gourd, including stir-fried, cold salad, mixed with other ingredients, etc.

Li You decided to make vegetarian stir-fries.

Only by stir-frying can you better appreciate the flavor of this ingredient.

……

The time slowly reached 9:30 in the evening, and the last wave of customers finished eating and left.

Li You closed the shop door and brought a large pot of boiled edamame pods upstairs.

Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru were both lying on the sofa watching TV. When they saw Li You coming up with the bean pods, they both stood up and came over to help carry them together.

At the same time, they all said that with so much food, I can enjoy it tonight.

"Each pod is so plump, and it tastes the most enjoyable." Ling Xiaoru also said.

Li You put the edamame pods on the coffee table and asked both of them to taste it first to see how it tasted?

Both of them said that they would be rude, then each picked up a pod, opened it, and ate the beans inside.

Soon, both of them were very surprised and said that it was very delicious, better than they imagined. They had never made such delicious boiled edamame pods.

Li You laughed and said that if that was the case, then he would eat more tonight. It would be the dish to go with the wine tonight.

Both of them said there was no problem and they would definitely enjoy it tonight.

Li You was not surprised that the two people would comment like this. After all, these were top-quality edamame pods, and when he cooked them, he added so many seasonings very reasonably.

The taste is naturally very good.

Li You had already tasted it when he was in the kitchen, and it was indeed very delicious. It was much more delicious than the boiled edamame he had eaten before.

Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I will cook another pot and take it back to my parents so that they can have a taste.

Next, the three of them went downstairs together and brought the stir-fried gourd, mapo tofu, and three bowls of wine upstairs.

Of course, Mu Qingye's wine bowl was not full. She still couldn't drink a bowl.

"Try the gourd again and see how it tastes?" Li You said to Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru.

Both of them nodded. They each picked up their chopsticks and took a handful into their mouths.

After tasting it, Mu Qingye said: "The taste is okay, but I can't say how delicious it is."

It’s not that Li You is not good at cooking, it’s that the ingredients themselves have an average taste.

Ling Xiaoru also said, "The taste is not that good, but it is still edible."

Li You smiled and said: "Since you can still eat it, you should eat more. You should eat all kinds of ingredients and have a balanced nutrition."

Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru both nodded.
