The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 58 Pancake Fruit
An Xu said: "He has to take the exam, but he keeps saying that he is not in a hurry. I will urge him to go to Fucheng when he gets back."

I happened to go together to see if I could find a suitable servant.

This trip will take at least a week, otherwise Xiao Chong will also be brought along, so that he can feel the atmosphere of the hospital examination in advance.

I heard Zheng Changsheng say again: "If Zong Che is admitted as a scholar, will he still live in your house?"

An Xu smiled and said, "It depends on his wishes, but I heard from my uncle that what my father promised his father is that Zong Che will be confessed to Juren."

Zheng Changsheng said: "Then if you need help, just ask."

The two walked and talked all the way, but they didn't feel that the walking was hard, and they arrived in the village when it was getting dark.

The sky was overcast, and it was getting dark quickly. When I entered the village, I still felt that there was light. When I got to the village, the night came up.

Zheng Changsheng was about to deliver the small cart to An Xu's home, but just as he turned the east-facing path, a figure with a cane walked up to him.

It was Zong Che, after two months of training, he could occasionally walk without crutches, but in order to make him feel better, An Xu also let him walk with crutches.

"Are you going to pick me up?" An Xu asked with a smile.

In the night, Zong Che glanced coldly at Zheng Changsheng, and said, "Brother Zheng, you don't need to send it away, so as not to be seen by the villagers and cause gossip."

Zheng Changsheng ignored him, but he didn't insist on sending An Xu off again. He turned to her and said, "I'm going home first."

An Xu pushed the trolley and walked home with Zong Che one after the other, "Is Xiao Chong back?"

After two months of getting along, An Xu had a deep understanding of the characters of the two teenagers. The younger brother was a warm-hearted boy who rejected her at first, but later helped her share a lot of housework when he was in school.

No matter when she closes the stall sooner or later, the younger brother cooks the dinner.

As for Zong Che, he is a bit of a twisted temper, cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He will remind An Xu of any common-sense mistakes in a mocking tone. His attitude is not good, but An Xu is very grateful, after all, it can let her understand more. Well in this era.

Moreover, this young man insisted on making money by copying books on weekdays, and he didn't need her to buy paper and ink.Before she expressed that she wanted to learn how to read, he specially got her a concise literacy book.

An Xu is very satisfied with his current life.

When she got home, An Chong greeted her from the kitchen and came over to help her put the trolley into the house, "Sister, why are you back so late today?"

"Meeting acquaintances, I have something to do." An Xu remembered those peppers and tomatoes, and quickly took them out of the cabinet under the trolley, and sent them to the simple greenhouse covered with straw mats against the wall in the yard.

The temperature in the shed is above 25 degrees, and about [-] catties of bamboo charcoal are burned every day.

Bamboo charcoal is used in the greenhouse, not because it is a luxury, but because there are people in the village who make charcoal. A catty of bamboo charcoal costs only three Wen, which is cheaper than the charcoal in the town.

Coal is coal, not to mention expensive, and the smoke is relatively large, so it is not popular among ordinary people.

But An Xu heard that the greenhouses in the nobles' homes are generally made of coal, which has a lot of heat.

An Xu thought it was not worthwhile to use coal, so he didn't go to the town to buy it.However, the weather is getting colder and colder. If there is a heavy snowfall, the temperature of the bamboo charcoal may not reach it.

In his heart, An Xu added another shopping item to Fucheng this time.

There are three furrows in the greenhouse. Spinach, garlic sprouts, carrots, and rapeseed are grown. The rapeseed mainly eats the leaves of the vegetables.

In the corner was the garlic yellow covered by the bamboo tube she cut from the mountain. She picked two good places to plant the pepper and tomato seedlings, and An Xu went over to have a look.

Garlic yellow has grown very tall, you can take it to sell when you go to Fucheng.

If there is glass, her small greenhouse is enough to grow cucumbers and melons, summer vegetables and fruits that require relatively high temperature.

After planting the peppers and tomatoes, An Xu came out of the warm shed, and casually put a stone on the grass curtain at the entrance, so as not to be blown away by the strong wind at night.

The kitchen shed at home has been remodeled, and grass drape is added on all sides. It is still simple, but the warmth retention has been improved a lot.

When An Xu walked in, An Chong had already scooped up all the rice, red bean porridge, distilled steamed buns, and pickled radish that An Xu took time to make as a dish.

Zong Che took the chopsticks and put them on the table.

An Chong looked at him, feeling that Brother Che was not in a good mood.

"Sister, when I came back, Aunt Siping came over." While eating, An Chong remembered this and told his sister quickly.

Aunt Siping, An Xu, has met more than once these days. It is said that the industry she is engaged in is somewhat like the kind of intermediary that specializes in introducing jobs to people. Part-time matchmaker.

This Aunt Siping had been wandering around the entrance of the village a few days ago, talking to her several times when she came to An's house. Judging from the meaning of the words, it seemed that she wanted to introduce her in-law's house.

An Xu nodded, "I see."

An Chong picked up the rice in the bowl and said, "Sister, Aunt Siping seems to want to tell you about someone."

"I don't plan to get married at the moment, and I will make it clear to her."

An Chong glanced at Zong Che, saw that he was eating with a calm expression, and sighed secretly, wondering if my sister still wants to marry Zong Che?He didn't know whether to let his sister find a suitable person to marry at the age of marriage, or let her wait unilaterally like this.

"Concentrate on eating," An Xu knocked on the table, called back the little brother who was empty, and said, "When you go to school tomorrow, ask your husband for a leave. I heard from Changsheng that the Huaiyang government has already confirmed the time for the college entrance examination. , Our De'an Mansion should be in the next few days. You two prepare, we will set off for Fucheng the day after tomorrow."

Zong Che then raised his head and said, "I can go by myself."

An Xu smiled and said, "I have other things to do, not just to accompany the exam."

Zong Che hummed, and buried himself in the meal.

After two months of eating and drinking, the two thin teenagers have grown flesh. They are not the kind of people who only eat and don't work, but Zong Che, who needs to stay in bed for recuperation. A three-pound stone is also tied to the arm.

The meat that grows out is smooth and beautiful muscles.

Not only did they gain weight, but both of them also grew taller.

An Xu has a great sense of accomplishment.

Zong Che felt her gaze, and he didn't feel the disgust that An Dani had when he looked at him before, but he couldn't let her keep looking at him like this.

Looking up and looking back, he said, "How do we go?"

An Xu added a bowl of porridge to himself, and said, "Hire Fang Bo's car."

If you go to Fucheng, one hundred Wen a day is a very generous price.

An Xu didn't plan to leave the stall the next day. When he got up in the morning, he kneaded a ball of multigrain noodles first, and then walked out of the house in the cold air that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Could it be that ancient times were really colder than modern times?
An Xu was not used to wearing thick cotton-padded jackets and trousers. After winter, she bought some cotton cloth and cotton. Cotton coat covered with a layer of cotton.

In the past two days, she clearly felt that even wearing two layers of clothes of this thickness would not be able to withstand the cold in winter.

The sky was still gloomy, and after An Xu had walked outside for a while, his hands were already shaved red.

Linhe Village is still a place to the south, why is it so cold when it gets cold.

An Xu rubbed his hands, stopped by a dirt wall, and called inwardly, "Uncle Fang."

A voice of promise soon sounded in the yard, and Aunt An Fang came out to open the door. When she saw that it was An Yu, she smiled and said, "It's Da Ni, what can I do with your uncle? He left the car early in the morning."

Then let An Xu come in and talk.

An Xu explained the reason for his visit, and said with a smile, "It will take five or six days to go. I don't know if Fang Bo can go."

"Yes, why not." Aunt Anfang said quickly, her old man can't earn a hundred yuan in three days with his sports car going back and forth between the county and town.

An Dani really made money. I heard that when buying bamboo charcoal from Liu's family, they bought it in hundreds of thousands of catties, which was not much worse than what the big families in the county asked for.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Anfang sighed in her heart. Although she can make money, she is still a child who doesn't know how to be frugal.

But she cared more about the prescriptions that Dani could sell, so she dragged her to talk for a while.

Aunt Anfang felt that her old man was too old to go racing like this every day. If they could buy a good recipe from Da Ni, they would also sell snacks beside the official road.

An Xu smiled and said, "I've been thinking about new snacks for the past two days, and when I make them, I'll tell you guys first."

Aunt Anfang said yes repeatedly, and when An Xu left, a jar of pickles was stuffed in her hand.

Aunt Anfang said with a smile: "Garlic eggplant, pickled before winter, it's just right to eat now."

An Xu didn't shirk, thanked him and went back with the jar in his arms.

Zong Che was already up when she got home, and was boxing in the yard wearing a padded jacket that was close to her body.

The Wuxing boxing he plays is slow, very similar to the Tai Chi boxing of An Xu's era.

When An Xu entered the door, he glanced over, his gaze fell on the back of her glowing red hand, and he frowned imperceptibly.

In the kitchen, put the jar of garlic and eggplant on the stone bench under the chopping board, and return the jar to Fang Bo's house when you come back.

Then An Xu stood up, took a small casserole, washed half a bowl of millet and red dates and put it in.

In the past two months, she has added a lot of things to the house, including a large iron pot, several casserole pots for stewing porridge and soup, ceramic pots, and several black pottery pots for rice and noodles.

With the addition of rice noodles and the like, the kitchen filled with four-faced grass drape is full.

But everything is tidy and tidy, and it looks like a very comfortable life.

The rice porridge was stewing on the small stove, An Xu turned and went out, and fished out a sour cabbage from the big vat at the door.

The pickled cabbage, which has been marinated for a month and a half, even has a mellow aroma. Cut it into small cubes on the chopping board, serve it with minced meat, and put it in a hot pan to stir-fry a few times. Jumping in the warm breath of the kitchen, and then drifting along the gap into the cold wind outside.

When the curtain of the kitchen entrance moved, Zong Che picked up the cotton curtain and walked in.

The conditions at home are available now, but there is no time to renovate, so An Xu put cotton curtains on each room, and sealed the windows tightly with oiled paper.

Therefore, even if there is no underfloor heating, the temperature in the house can be maintained.

Anyway, as long as An Xu was at home, several charcoal pots would be lit in her room to keep it warm.The disadvantage is that it is easy to get angry, and you have to drink a lot of cool water every day.

Besides, at this moment, Zong Che looked at the sauerkraut minced meat that had already been served, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

An Xu smiled and said, "I'm busy every day, we haven't had a serious meal for a long time, and we ate multigrain pancakes this morning."

The fried dough stick batter for fruit was placed in the kitchen last night and it has grown into a beautiful honeycomb shape overnight.

He took out a small deep-mouthed earthenware pot, poured half of the pot of oil on it, and while frying fried dough sticks, An Xu rolled pancakes with noodles on the frying pan.

Because making snacks, the most indispensable thing in the house is the stove. Since the stove was built, An Xu prefers to use the stove when cooking.

There were only three of them, and unless it was stewing soup, using a large cauldron on the stove felt like hitting mosquitoes with a cannon.

Zong Che sat by a stove and helped take care of the stove.

The fritters are fried, and the pancakes are almost done.

At this time An Chong had already got up, he woke up smelling the scent, washed up quickly and ran to the kitchen, saw the pancakes and fried dough sticks in the basket, he immediately asked: "Sister, how do you want to eat this?"

　The new book is on the shelves and needs all kinds of support from everyone.

　　Another one at eight o'clock in the evening.
