Second update, please pink.

The whole family pushed the car and walked. For a long time, no one made a sound.

Goro didn't follow him into the shop, not knowing what happened, but found that the atmosphere was a bit weird, so he whispered to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er said everything in full.

Goro let out a long oh.

"Anyway... the candy thing cannot be broken. Otherwise, we have to buy it after we finish eating it." Lian Shouxin said, his tone of speaking was different from usual, and he felt a little self-comfortable.

Zhang didn't say anything, but his expression was a little entangled.

Lian Shouxin and Zhang couple are honest but not stupid. Zhao Wencai's "passion" makes them feel uncomfortable and awkward.

Successful businessmen pay attention to being enthusiastic about others, but they are very good at grasping and making people feel comfortable, rather than the latest chapter of the feeling that Zhao Wen gave them just now. In the store just now, even Man'er clearly saw it, and Zhao Wencai and Zhao Fugui were acting normally when they treated other customers.

If you want to attract customers, businessmen usually cook for a lot of food, which means weighing more things, or adding something else, or charging a few less money. Don’t look at such a little bit of concession, it can make people happy and willing to accept it.

Lian Shouxin and Zhao Wen are peers, how could they just ask for two pounds of candy? Zhao Wen wouldn't not understand this principle.

He is quite smart and not kind enough. This is Lian Man'er's impression of the Zhao family father and son this time.

Just like Wu Yuchang opened a table for Zhao Xiu'e's sister-in-law alone, because the Zhao family is a new relative, so they are particularly proud of their face. They bought two more kilograms of candy this time, so next time, the Zhao family consumed the decency of the new relative and the favors of the Lian family to them. Is Zhao Wencai really smart when he did this? Did he think others were fools? Do he expect them to buy things in his shop again?

"It seems that we should not buy things from them in the future." Lian Man'er said seriously. "Even if we are relatives, we can't let others not make money, and we will always suffer losses."

"We have never had any business with the old Zhao family before... It seems that we are not from the same place as us." Lian Shouxin thought for a while.

"When Xiu'e's sister-in-law was sitting on the table..." Zhang whispered to Lian Shouxin what Zhao Xiu'e's sister-in-law did while sitting on the table.

"I heard from our mother," Lian Shouxin said, "It seems that their Zhao family is like this. It's not that the whole family doesn't enter the family."

"Hey, Xiu'e's child..." Zhang sighed and said without continuing.

In this way, the family reached an unanimous view on the character of the Zhao family and decided to keep a distance in the future.

There was a grain shop in front. This time, Xiaoqi and Lianzhier were watching the car outside. The rest of the people entered the shop. Lian Shouxin took two bags, one filled with rice and the other filled with white flour. He bought twenty kilograms of rice, five of which were filial to Mr. Lian. Ten kilograms of filial to Zhang Qingshan, and the remaining five kilograms were left. They also bought twenty kilograms of white flour, ten kilograms of filial to Zhang Qingshan, and ten kilograms of filial to eat at home.

The reason why the noodles are more than rice is because of rice, and their family prefers pasta.

Lian Man'er saw that there was glutinous rice in the grain store and bought another two kilograms.

Later, he went to the wine shop to buy wine. Lian Man'er relied on the sweet mouth and asked for a small piece of wine and medicine like the shopkeeper.

The last stop to buy New Year’s goods is Zhang Butcher’s butcher’s shop, three kilograms of smooth ribs, plus two big stick bones.

"Fourth brothers, have your bean sprouts been delivered?" After taking the money, Zhang Butcher Zhang asked Lian Shouxin. Zhang Butcher Zhang's family was going to treat her during the Chinese New Year. When she killed pigs for the Lian family that day, she told Lian Shouxin that she wanted to buy ten kilograms of bean sprouts. The meat used in Lian Man'er's breakfast shop was bought from Zhang Butcher Zhang. After a long time, Zhang Butcher Zhang gave some of the price. In addition, he knew that Zhang had sold bean sprouts before selling them, and whenever he had something to buy bean sprouts at home, he would buy them from Lian Man'er's house. Not only that, someone ordered meat from him when he ordered meat on the banquet. He always said that the bean sprouts from Lian Man'er's family were good, and he had attracted many customers for Lian Man'er's family.

"I can send it tomorrow, I need ten kilograms, right? I'll let the child deliver it to you tomorrow." Lian Shouxin said.

"No need, tomorrow someone will ask me to kill pigs, I will go and get it myself." Butcher Zhang smiled and said, "Fourth brothers, I will treat you on the fourth day of the first lunar month, you will have to come."

………*******………………

It was already noon after returning home from the town. After a simple meal, the family brought rice and wine to the room.

"It's been a year since we were just a few kilograms of rice and two kilograms of wine. We are just a little bit of our heart. Don't think it's too little." Lian Shouxin gave the rice and wine and said.

The old man waved his hand quickly and said no.

"You just split up and have only had a few days of full meals? Why do you spend this money? You should keep that money to live. I don't need anything, and I can't ask for your things."

"Dad, this is what we respect your two elders. You have to accept whatever you say." Zhang said.

"I bought it all, but I can't return it to anyone." After talking for a long time, the old man gave in. "Let's do this, I'll keep the wine. Take this rice back and make two more rice porridge for Man'er and Xiaoqi. I'm even more happy than letting me eat it myself."

"Dad, don't worry about them." Lian Shouxin said, "I bought a few kilograms at home and gave them food for them during the New Year."

In the end, the old man took the things away and placed two jars of wine on the cabinet. Zhou asked Lian Xiuer to take a basin, put five kilograms in, and returned the empty bag to Zhang.

"On the New Year's Day, your family will come here." Mr. Lian said. This is to say that Lian Shuoxin came to the room to celebrate the New Year together.

"Dad, let's spend the New Year ourselves." Lian Shouxin said.

"I'll spend this year together. Next year, you will celebrate the New Year by yourself." Mr. Lian insisted.

Lian Shouxin was a little hesitant and looked at Zhang.

"Dad, we are all in the same yard. We just open the fire and have dinner, which is no different from previous years." Zhang said, insisting on celebrating the New Year alone at home.

"Hey, you have an idea." Finally, Old Master Lian sighed and did not continue to hold on.

…**……………

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, after simply having breakfast, Lian Man'er's family became busy.

The frozen chicken, frozen meat and frozen tofu that you want to use were taken into the house last night, and the mushrooms, fungus, etc. that should be soaked have also been put into the basin and started soaking.

The menu for this New Year meal has been planned for a long time. The main dishes include chicken stewed mushrooms, braised carp, braised pork, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, pickled cabbage white meat, fried eggs with black fungus, garlic sprouts, dried beans, and cold dishes include cold bean sprouts, cold sour and sour potato shreds and cold dried tofu shreds.

There is another dish that is indispensable during the Chinese New Year and is also the favorite of children: fried croquettes.

"I'll buy tofu." Lian Shouxin took the money from Lian Man'er and then went out with a small basin.

My family has bought several plates of frozen tofu, but today I have to fry the croquettes during the Chinese New Year, so I have to buy some fresh tofu. At this time of year, fresh tofu is in short supply and I can't buy it if I go late.

Watching Lian Shouxin go out, Zhang put on an apron, took a basin, scooped a full basin from the noodle bag, and started kneading the noodles. Half of them were ordinary white flour and half were starch. Lian Shouer washed half a basin of powder and soaked it in hot water. Adding the tofu that Lian Shouxin bought for a while, this is the main raw material for the vegetarian meatballs.

The powder head is to crush vermicelli. The price is cheaper than the vermicelli and it is just right for fried croquettes.

Frying croquettes costs oil, and use starch and white flour, and it is very troublesome to make, so the merchants will only fry croquettes during the holidays. There are also poor families who cannot afford to fry meatballs during the Chinese New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, many fried croquettes will usually be fried at a time. In the first month of the year, children can eat them as snacks or use them to stew vegetables.

With some spare money in hand, Zhang decided to fry more meatballs this year so that the children can have enough food.

The noodles with fried croquettes are different from other pasta dishes. They should be mixed with thinner. When the noodles are mixed, pour in the softened powdered head, crushed fresh tofu, then add chopped green onion, pepper noodles, salt, soy sauce and other seasoning. Then cover the pot tightly and place it on the hot kang, and wait for the noodles to start.

During this period of time when the noodles are served, you can prepare the pork. Put large pieces of pork belly into the pot, add a lot of water, then add pepper, large ingredients, cinnamon, broccoli, ginger slices and other seasonings, and then boil over high heat until the meat is half-cooked, and you can easily insert it into the meat with chopsticks.

After that, take out the meat, slice it in a long direction, place it in a large bowl and sprinkle salt. The preparation of the pork is done and steamed in the pot later.

Even Shouli and Zhao and his wife went to work in the room, so Zhang borrowed their stove. There were a lot of dishes to prepare this year, and it would be much faster to make two pots together.

Start stewing in one pot, steaming the meat, and pouring fried croquettes into the other pot.

The fried croquettes are made of soybean oil. At this time, the soybean oil is squeezed out by the native method, and there is inevitably some residue inside. When the fried croquettes are heated, the oil splashes out accidentally, which is easy to burn. Therefore, Zhang asked Lian Zhier and Lian Man'er to stew the dishes, and she and Lian Shouxin wrapped the work of the fried croquettes.

Zhang did not let a few children forward, Lian Man'er could only watch from the side. Zhang's fried croquettes were very smooth. Evenly-sized round balls emerged from her hands continuously, fell into the oil pan, and rolled inside. The tempting aroma spread everywhere. When the croquettes changed color and floated onto the oily surface, they could be taken out.

After the meatballs were fried, Zhang scooped out some of the oil from the oil pan and continued to fry the ribs and fry the fish. This is the first step in making sweet and sour ribs and braised fish.

"How about trying this year's meatballs." Zhang asked Lian Man'er to serve a bowl of meatballs first while frying the fish. Everyone should try it.

Before Zhang could finish his words, Xiaoqi had already brought out the bowl.

"Oh, Fourth Brother, why are you frying these many things this year?" Lian Xiu'er stood at the door with a bowl.
