Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 103 Chapter 103

"Xiu Ling? Why are you here? Why don't you rest at home? You also went back very late last night."

In this village, the person who has the best relationship with Lin He is Xiuling. Lin He is naturally happy that she can come here.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I've had enough rest. Even if I'm pregnant, I can't lie at home every day. Mother also said that I want to go out and walk around. Besides, I'm still young this month."

She is pregnant this time, can eat, drink and sleep, not only the two sister-in-laws, but even the mother-in-law are very envious, and the pregnancy is too easy.

Lin He's eyes couldn't help but look at her stomach - he couldn't see anything.

That's right, it's only been about two months, how can I see anything.

On the contrary, Xiuling herself is much rounder, whiter and tenderer.

It might be a girl, Lin He thought.

She remembered hearing someone mention it once before, as if she was pregnant with a girl, and mothers would be much prettier than her.

Of course, there is no scientific basis.

And this is an era, almost everyone wants to have more sons, and if they don't have a son, they will be stabbed in the back. She can just think about it in her heart, and she dare not say it at all.

Xiuling had already taken the kitchen knife by herself: "Sister-in-law, have you washed the oil?"

It looked clean, even the blood was removed.

"It's done. I'm worrying so much. It will take a long time to cut everything. You can be of great help here."

The cutting board was too small to use, so Lin He cleaned the table and worked on it.

Two people working together is much faster than one person, but as Xiuling said, one pot can't hold so much suet, so two pots can work together.

Xiuling had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she chatted with Lin He next to her after she finished her work, and even talked about taro.

"By the way, sister-in-law, Changsheng said that he will not go tonight. After today's busy day is over, he will go up the mountain tomorrow morning."

"Brother Changhui will follow him tomorrow to see where the taro is, and then show them the way from the mountain to the town. From now on, Changsheng and third brother can just go up the mountain every day."

"The money for selling taro is still divided according to what was agreed before. Brother Changhui told my father-in-law when he came back in the morning. He has already told shopkeeper Liu. There will be someone guarding the shop at night. Just send the taro over."

Brother Changhui has negotiated the price of the door, just like before, to prevent them from being lowered by others, and to split them in half, and it is not a loss at all.

What's more, this taro was originally taught by Lin He, and all the money they earned was like picking up for nothing, and they even got two little wild boars.

One needs to be content, instead of haggling over every detail, it is better to have a good relationship with Changhui's cousin and sister-in-law.

Those two little wild boars alone are worth a lot of money when they grow up.

Lin He didn't refuse, and nodded to help Li Changhui agree.

Immediately afterwards, she asked again: "By the way, sister-in-law, is your little wild boar eunuched or not? According to father's opinion, he is planning to keep a boar so that it can be bred to other people's sows in the future."

This breeding is not cheap, it costs [-] to [-] yuan at a time, and wild boar breeding will definitely be more expensive.

Lin He: "I haven't thought about it yet, but uncle wants to keep a boar, how about we keep a gilt? Maybe we can have another litter in the future."

In the case of wild boars, even if they were born in the same litter, they can still give birth, it doesn't matter.

The two sisters-in-law chatted, and the lard was boiled, and four full jars were filled. Lin He didn't weigh it before, but it was at least 40 catties.

Enough to feed the family for a long time.

Xiuling went back after the lard was boiled, and Lin He started to prepare the lo mei.

There are only two pots in the kitchen, and now they are finally vacated. One pot is used for lo-mei, and the other pot is used for stewing pork heart soup.

But before that, everything should be blanched first. After blanching with ginger slices and wine, most of the fishy smell can be removed.

Li Yu has been helping to light the fire. Li Changhui came back once, and then went out again, saying that he was going to the town, and he was driving the uncle's ox cart.

The Li family is very busy today.

When the delicious smell of meat came from the Li family, the sky had already begun to darken. The stewed meat was all picked up and let cool, and the rice was cooked. There was definitely a big pot of pork heart soup that could not be eaten tonight.

But it doesn't matter, I can still eat for another day tomorrow.

"Hao'er, come, eat a piece of pig's foot."

Lin He caught a piece of pig's foot, the kind without toes. Xiuling said that unmarried children should not eat pig's chacha, that is, pig's toe.

It is said that unmarried children will fork off their marriage if they eat it, and it will be difficult to talk about marriage in the future.

Lin He scoffed at such rumors in his heart, thinking that it was a lie deliberately made up by adults who were reluctant to feed their children.

But on the one hand, he didn't give the two children pig's knuckles, for fear that they would not be able to find a wife in the future.

By the way, she spurned herself in her heart, but fortunately, she just thought about it in her heart and never said it, otherwise she must have been laughed at.

The pork knuckle has been boiled for the longest time, and it is still very soft and glutinous now, and the aroma of the marinade completely suppresses the fishy smell of the pork, making it very delicious.

Li Hao took one piece for himself, and another piece for the big brother who set the fire: "Thank you, mother!"

"You're welcome, Hao'er has worked hard today to help take care of my younger brother."

Knowing that the adults are busy today, Hao'er coaxed his younger brother to play alone in the yard, but he didn't let his younger brother cry.

"Maybe it's not just today, but it will take a few more days of hard work."

Li Changhui's voice came from outside the door.

"Father, you are back, mother made a lot of delicious food! It smells so good!"

Li Hao ran out quickly, holding up the food in his hand to show his father.

"Eat more if it tastes good. Parents are very busy these days. Can you help take care of my younger brother?"

Perhaps infected by the big smile on Li Hao's face, Li Changhui couldn't help showing a little smile, and even reached out and rubbed Li Hao's head.

Li Hao stared blankly at his father, then said, "Daddy, you look good when you smile, just as good-looking as your mother."

Lin He, who had just come out with a spatula, just heard this sentence.

With a sound of "Puff", both father and son turned their heads to look at themselves, and quickly waved their hands back with a smile.

"It's okay, I just asked you to come back for dinner. Let's have a bowl of pig heart soup first. I tried it and it's very good."

Li Changhui nodded: "I'll go pour some wine, will Xiaohe drink?"

Lin He shook his head: "I won't drink any more, just pour some for yourself."

The braised meat had already cooled down, and each item was cut into a plate separately, only a small piece of pork belly was marinated, and the remaining piece was fried for eating tomorrow.

Lin He didn't put chili in the braised meat, but in front of her and Li Changhui, there was a small plate of dried chili noodles, which contained chili powder, pepper powder, pepper powder, and a little salt.

Lin He thought about it, after this meal tonight, he probably won't feel tired no matter how busy he is next.

As for the two children, they cheered a long time ago and were ready to start.
