Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 223 Liang Hui

"The ribs and other things in the refrigerator haven't been thawed yet. Only the lean meat and cured meat that have been stored away are ready to cook. I can only make some simple home-style dishes."

As Yu Juan spoke, she put the lean meat in her hand into the pot and stir-fried it.

Xia Shiyu glanced at the time; it was past 11 o'clock. "There's nothing we can do but make do for now. If we were to thaw it now, it would take too long."

"Then there's no other way but to make do with it. At most, we'll just make a larger portion."

"Go wash another bunch of toon leaves."

Xia Shiyu nodded, "Okay, I'll also go get some flour and fry a few scallion pancakes while I'm at it. Kids should love them."

"Okay, go get it. I'll stir-fry this dish and then put it in the pan."

Xia Shiyu took out the flour, mixed it well, and then deep-fried it directly.

The aroma of deep-fried food was so strong that it wafted into the hall, making Xiao Tao restless.

"Mom, it smells so good! What are you making? I want to eat it!"

Liang Hui reassured the child, "Aunt Yu is cooking. You'll be able to eat soon, don't worry."

"Okay," the usually mischievous Xiao Tao said, now very well-behaved.

A little while later, Xia Shiyu came out with the dishes. Liang Hui saw this and quickly got up, "Do you need my help?"

"No need, no need, Auntie, you can just sit down."

After Xia Shiyu finished speaking, she went back to serving the dishes.

After serving the dishes, she also took out a jar.

Inside were dried forsythia and magnolia flowers.

She handed everyone a cup and asked, "I hope no one here is allergic to these two flowers."

No, no.

Xia Shiyu was relieved to hear this and started mixing the dried flowers with honey to make a flower tea for everyone.

"Here, be careful, it's hot. This flower tea is delicious."

Xia Shiyu handed it to everyone present.

Xiao Tao looked curiously at the flowers in the cup, took a sniff, and looked up at Liang Hui, saying, "Mom, these flowers smell so good! Can you eat flowers?"

"It's edible. Try a sip. It's quite sweet because it has honey in it."

"Okay," Xiao Tao immediately picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip.

"Wow, this is so delicious! It's sweet and fragrant."

Xia Shiyu smiled and said, "If you like to drink, then drink more. I still have some here. But let's start eating now."

"Okay, Xiaotao, let's eat first."

Liang Hui picked up the small bowl specially for Xiao Tao and began to serve her food.

Xia Shiyu and her family also started eating.

The first thing everyone picked up with their chopsticks was the plate of scrambled eggs with toon leaves. Later, seeing that there were many people, Yu Juan stir-fried another plate.

Xia Shiyu picked up a piece of golden-brown, slightly glistening scrambled eggs with toon sprouts and placed it in her bowl. She first tasted the scrambled eggs with toon sprouts on its own.

When the Chinese toon is not cooked, it is purplish-red and resembles a rooster's comb. However, once it is cooked, the purple color disappears, leaving only a green color.

The first bite of stir-fried eggs with toon leaves is incredibly fragrant, with a delightful aroma, a refreshing and smooth texture, and a rich variety of flavors.

With freshly refined rapeseed oil and fresh eggs, the aroma and richness are absolutely delicious. And while there is usually some greasiness at the bottom, fresh rapeseed oil does not make you feel greasy or stuffy at all; it just makes you feel that it is truly delicious.

Moreover, the glossy sauce mixed with the tender white rice infuses the rice with the aroma of toon.

"This smells so good, it's really tempting."

"This egg is so delicious, it goes perfectly with rice."

"It's delicious!" Everyone who tasted it exclaimed.

Xiao Tao couldn't control her emotions and started howling.

"Mom, this tastes so good!"

Liang Hui, who was also engrossed in the food, snapped out of her reverie upon hearing this and placed another piece of food on Xiao Tao's plate. "If you like it, eat more. You can't be picky about food today, it's so delicious."

"Mmm, I promise I won't be a picky eater. Mom, I still want to eat that egg."

"it is good"

The group then began their whirlwind feast, and the already delicious Japanese food was further enhanced by the newly refined rapeseed oil, earning them endless praise.

Xia Shiyu felt as if she had tasted spring, as if she had returned to the rapeseed fields, and every bite she ate was full of the spirit of spring.

Initially, Liang's parents were somewhat restrained, but they gradually loosened up. Even with their years of experience, few people can remain unmoved in the face of delicious food.

Everyone ate in a peaceful and harmonious manner.

Liang Hui felt that the meal she had gotten for free was incredibly worthwhile, as it was even better than what you get at restaurants and healthier too.

Even Xiao Tao quietly changed her favorite food from hamburgers to the food here after today.

After finishing their meal, Xia Shiyu started tidying up. Liang Hui approached her and asked, "Xia Shiyu, I heard you say that this oil is freshly pressed, and I see that you have quite a few eggs at home. I also think that vegetable looks delicious. I'd like to buy some. I'll take Xiao Tao back with me tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh, Aunt Liang, you mean those things? Those were meant to be packed for you, there's no question of buying them or not."

Xia Shiyu looked at the gifts, which added up to several hundred yuan, and didn't mention that Liang Hui and Yu Juan were originally friends who hadn't seen each other for several years.

"No way, I know your vegetables are quite expensive, you can't just let me have them for free, but you have to sell me an extra barrel of this oil."

Xia Shiyu couldn't argue with Liang Hui, so he planned to give her more things later.

"All right"

"Okay, that's good." Liang Hui nodded in satisfaction and left.

After the Xia family and others left, they continued processing their belongings.

Xia Shiyu found a container to hold the eggs, intending to store them carefully and sell them together tomorrow.

At this moment, Chen Yuzhu came over somewhat awkwardly, "Boss"

Xia Shiyu looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

She held up one finger. "Oh, that's right. I also want to buy rapeseed oil, just one can."

"Oh, this? Of course!" Xia Shiyu thought about how popular her family's rapeseed oil was. Luckily, she had plenty left, otherwise she wouldn't be able to give it to other strangers later, or she would have too much.

"That's great." Chen Yuzhu had been craving this rapeseed oil lately, and she wanted to eat it even more after lunch today, which is why she said she wanted to buy a can.

"Okay, thank you so much, boss."

Chen Yuzhu happily handed over the money and took the bucket of oil with her when she went home.

Xia Shiyu was busy preparing for tomorrow's eggs.
