As the old saying goes, "The more you eat peanuts, the more you eat." On that sunny afternoon, Lao Li Tou sat in his tavern, looking at the bustling crowd outside the window, but there was a trace of loneliness in his heart. His daughter, Xiaofang, a young girl who loves cooking, has been complaining lately that her frosted peanuts are not authentic enough. Lao Li Tou decided to cook in person today to surprise his daughter.

"Dad, why aren't your peanuts always sweet enough?" Xiao Fang said with a frown as she tasted her father's freshly made peanuts.

"Sweet? Peanuts should be crispy, not sweet. Lao Li Tou retorted.

"But today's young people like the sweet and salty taste." Xiaofang insisted.

Lao Li Tou was silent, he knew that what his daughter said was right. He decided to innovate and give new life to this traditional peanut.

As night falls, Lao Li Tou is busy in the kitchen, trying to perfectly combine traditional skills with modern tastes. He knew that it was not only a culinary challenge, but also a conversation with his daughter's heart.
