When Mr. Lian said this, Lian Man'er naturally couldn't ask for the full text.

The first thing is to screen and weigh the peanuts, pick out the deflated and bad peanuts, leaving only the plump peanuts with full grains. This work requires carefulness, so let the third-person Lian Shouli, Zhao and Lian Yeer do it. Even the old man works differently from Zhou. He does not just command others with his mouth, but "leads the way he leads". He is also picking peanuts, and he is more careful than others' picks.

"Those deflated and small ones are kept for our own food and sold to others, but they have to choose the good ones." Mr. Lian asked while picking.

After weighing the selected peanuts, they were divided into batches for every fifty kilograms, which were washed by Lian Shouxin and Zhang, and then the process of soaking the flavoring. This was made by Lian Man'er herself. She added coarse salt and garlic to the ratio of every fifty kilograms of peanuts. Lian Shouxin and Zhang had washed a batch of peanuts, poured them into a clay tank, stirred in various seasonings, and then added water to stir. This time, in order to quickly add warm water.

Before the sun set, 200 kilograms of peanuts have been put into the clay pot and marinated.

This marinates for one night, you can start cooking tomorrow morning and then dry it. By noon the day after tomorrow, all 200 kilograms of garlic-flavored peanuts can be made.

The men were left to pack up peanut seedlings in the yard, and the women started cooking. Because they wanted to cook for the Lian family, they used two stoves in the room. Zhao and Lian Yeer occupied a stove and cooked the rice. The sorghum that was newly released this year was pushed to the mill two days ago and grinded 100 kilograms of new sorghum rice. Although it was coarse grains, the rice cooked with the new rice was particularly delicious.

Zhang took Lianzhier and Lianman'er to cook in another pot. The first major dish was Lianman'er's braised pork stewed potatoes. This dish was also Zhang's specialty dish. Lianzhier and Lianman'er were only responsible for peeling potatoes. Cut the potatoes into hob pieces, and Zhang was responsible for the rest.

Zhang first put a piece of pork with a fat and thinner seed to remove blood foam and impurities. Then he took it out and cut it into pieces of hobs the same size as potato cubes. Heat the pot, put in the meat cubes, add soy sauce, scallion, garlic cloves, large ingredients and other seasonings to stir-fry the potato cubes, and then pour in the potato cubes. Stir evenly. Finally, pour in enough cold water, pour in an appropriate amount of autumn oil and salt, cover the pot, boil the pot on high heat under the stove, and then boil it on low heat for about a quarter of an hour. At this time, you don’t need to burn the fire, and simmer for another quarter of an hour. This braised pork is enough to stew the potatoes.

Although the braised pork stewed with a large iron pot is not exquisite, the taste and appearance are not bad at all. If you don’t tell carefully, you can hardly tell which piece is the potato and which piece is the meat, it is fragrant and glutinous. It is very delicious and served.

Before this dish was served, the pot of rice cooked by Zhao was cooked. It also requires a lot of skills to stew rice in a large iron pot. There are tricks to add as much water and boil as much heat. Zhao's rice is well cooked, and it will not be too dry or have excess water. Because Lian Man'er said that he wanted to eat the crust, Zhao specially heated up a little more. After serving the rice, a layer of crust was evenly laid under the bottom of the pot. Because the heat was well mastered, the crust was moderately soft and hard, which was Lian Man'er's favorite.

Zhao used an iron shovel to shovel the crust, rolled it into two rolls, and placed it in a rice bowl, intending to give Lian Man'er some food when it was served later.

The rice pot was liberated, and Zhang cleaned the pot. Lian Man'er and Lian Zhier pulled two cabbages from the vegetable garden in the backyard, cleaned them and cut them. Add the shrimp skin I bought last time and made a vegetarian fried shrimp skin cabbage. Of course, it would be better if it was sea rice and cabbage, but sea rice was more expensive. Now Lian Man'er only wants to eat shrimp skin. However, shrimp skin and cabbage are still very delicious.

Because even the old man wanted to drink, Xiaoqi and Goro peeled another plate of peanuts, and even Man'er was the best at fried peanuts, so Zhang handed her the spatula.

This time, Lian Man'er used only a little oil to fry peanuts. Heat the peanuts in the pan on low heat and stir-fry quickly to make the peanuts heat evenly. When the continuous crackling sounds are heard in the pan, each peanut has changed color, and you can take them out and put them into a plate. Sprinkle fine salt and a little minced coriander on it to make a fresh, crispy dish.

While Zhang was cooking, Zhou looked around with a calm face. Seeing that Zhang did not use the oil and salt from the room, but brought it from her house, she said nothing and threw the curtain into the house. He also helped pick peanuts. When she was cooking, she went back to the room until the smell of braised pork drifted to the east wing room, she brought Lian Yaer over with a smile.

Everyone didn't live together, so Lian Man'er's mood relaxed and she didn't care about these things. Zhang was used to it and didn't care even more about it.

After a while, the food was set on the table, and it was still like before. Men and women divided into two tables to eat. Although the big house and family had no work, they all sat on the table.

The two tables of meals were the same, with a large pot of braised pork stewed potatoes, plus a pot of shrimp and cabbage, but even a plate of fried peanuts were added to the old man, which was the one who served him with wine. Even the old man was particularly happy today, so he brought the two jars of wine to the table, and each son had a wine cup, and the grandsons, even Jizu, Erlang and Saburo were allowed to drink a cup with him.

When a man drinks at the table, he can't help but jokes, but when a woman drinks at the table, he is quieter.

Although this meal was a reward for everyone's work just now, it also means to be harmonious. Zhang was therefore very careful, afraid that Zhou would find fault and destroy the atmosphere.

Zhou used his eyes to snatch Zhang and Zhao. Both of them lowered their heads.

"It's good today, and everything is going well for peace. I'm very happy." Old man even shouted. He seemed to have drunk a little too much, and all the smile patterns on his face were spreading.

Zhou looked at the other side of the kang, and it was rare that he didn't pick on his fingers.

This time, most of the meat was fat. Lian Man'er ate a piece of it, but he stopped eating it. He only picked up potatoes, scooped two spoons of soup and mixed it into the rice, and then picked cabbage. Lian Xiu'er ate very deliciously. Even Huaer, Gu and Jiang also ate vegetables. Lian Man'er saw that Lian Huaer had several pieces of fat meat and buried it in the rice to eat it. He remembered that when Lian Huaer came back, he disdained to eat fat meat.

The meat made by Zhang is so delicious.

"The fourth brother, what kind of garlic peanuts you sold have made a lot of money." Lian Shouyi said in the alcohol.

"Just make a small fuss and make some money to make a tooth sacrifice." Lian Shouxin said with a smile.

"Second, don't hide it from me. You should let everyone benefit from it." Lian Shouyi raised his neck, poured a cup of wine, and then put a large piece of fat into his mouth. He chewed it for two mouthfuls and swallowed it. "Second, we have been busy for most of the day today, this peanut..."

"Dad, I'm about to discuss with you." Lian Shouxin put down the wine cup and interrupted Lian Shouyi's words. "I've asked about the peanut market this year. It's still the twelve cents per pound in previous years. Dad, if it's not enough, I'll add it."

"What to add?" said the old man, "The peanuts have not been dried yet, so they can't be sold for that much money. The fourth brother, when the family was separated, he didn't give you money, and our family also had to live. I don't say anything about these peanuts, just ten cents per catty."

"Dad, just twelve quotations." Lian Shouxin said with a smile.

The old man picked up the wine glass, and the topic did not continue. The fourth family had already agreed that he would not take advantage of the old man, so he would give it at twelve cents per pound. Although Lian Shouyi was a little short of it, the peanuts that were not dried were sold for twelve cents per pound, which was also profitable. Moreover, even the old man was in charge of the family, so he couldn't say anything more.

The meal went very smoothly. On the table over there, even Shouren and Shouyi were drunk too much and were helped down. Zhang and Zhao took a few children and started to clean the table.

"If I could live such a life every day, I would be content." Old Master Lian leaned against the kang, feeling a little vague.

"It's just a little horse's urine and a few pieces of meat, it's going to make you happy." Zhou muttered in a low voice.

When he returned to the west wing, Lian Shouxin sat on the kang and sighed.

"Dad said that it would be great if you could be like this every day."

Even the old man is definitely not a greedy person. The key to the life he wants to live is not wine and meat, but that the children and grandchildren are together, working together, having fun together, and living a harmonious life. Many things have happened these days. Today, this incident has made everyone gather together, and even the old man feels the beauty of the family reunion that has not been there for a long time.

"It's great to be separated like this." Zhang said, "When will we get together, I still feel very friendly."

Even if he is as virtuous as Zhang, he has lived a short life in his family and doesn’t want to go back.

When he woke up the next morning, Lian Man'er uncovered the lid of the clay pot, took out a peanut, peeled out the peanuts and tasted them, and nodded. The peanuts were already tasty.

She got up early, and there were people who got up earlier than her. Two temporary stoves had been built in the front yard of the Lian family, from the open space between the east wing and the gate. Lian Shouli and Lian Shouxin were carrying large iron pots to the stove.

This was agreed upon by Lian Shouli and Lian Shouxin last night. The pot in the house had to be cooked with fire and cooked 200 kilograms of peanuts. It was too nervous, so it would be much more convenient to use the stove.

After a hurry to have breakfast, Lian Shouli and his family of three helped each other, everyone started cooking peanuts. An iron pot can cook twenty-five kilograms of peanuts at a time. After drying the water, the cooked peanuts were sent to the roof for drying. After working hard for a day, most of the peanuts were dried, and only the last 50 kilograms of peanuts were cooked, which had not been completely dried. They had to take them into the house and planned to continue to dry them the next day.

"If tomorrow is a good day, it will be fine to dry it in half a day."

Lian Man'er fell asleep thinking so.

The next day, when she opened her eyes, she saw the gloomy outside.

"What should I do? It's cloudy today. It seems that it will rain." Zhang walked in from outside and said.
