Chapter 299 299
The charcoal fire was roasted slowly, and for two full hours, the fragrance wafted far away, even the people working in the field could smell it, and even some children in the nearby village ran over smelling it.

Lin He asked Li Changhui to divide some meat and tear it into small pieces, which fit into a plate.

Looking at the little radish heads in a circle, they are all skinny, and the fattest one is also in a thin state.

Lin He sighed inwardly. These days, even if it is a peaceful and prosperous age, it is only a prosperous age for the rich. The food production is too low, and most people are doomed to be hungry all the year round.

Even if you work all day long, you can't fill your stomach.

Plant a grain of millet in spring, and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn;

There is no land in the world, and the farmer still starves to death.

That's all.

Then put aside these messy thoughts, and waved to a group of radish heads with the mutton: "Come here, Auntie will give you meat."

The barbecue is made directly outside the backyard, and Li Changhui is putting a whole roast sheep in a clean bamboo sieve right now.

He divided three lamb legs in advance, and prepared to tear the rest into small pieces, so that they could be distributed to everyone who worked later.

Seeing Lin He's actions now, he thought about it, but he still didn't stop him.

Smelling the smell of meat and seeing this young aunt smiling kindly, a group of children really rushed over.

Lin He glanced at it. Although the clothes were almost patched and patched, similar to when she first met Li Yu and Li Hao, most of the hands and face were washed very clean.

There are both boys and girls, but the careful Lin He soon discovered that almost all boys of the same age are better than girls, and girls are thinner and more timid.

He sighed in his heart, patriarchal, the poorer the family, the more so, nothing can be changed for a while.

Then Lin He smiled and picked up a small piece of mutton: "Let me tell you first, the meat I give you can only be eaten here, you can't take it away, you know? If you want to take it away, then I won't give it away, listen Have you arrived yet?"

"heard it!"

Almost in unison.

And Lin He also keenly noticed that the boys were purely happy, while the eyes of the slightly older girls lit up, surprised and looking forward to it, which was different from other children's happiness.

Lin He didn't say much, picked up a piece of roast mutton, and gave it to the nearest child: "Come on, come one by one, those who haven't eaten stand here and don't move, and those who have eaten stand aside."

"Thank you, Auntie!" The child thanked happily, and couldn't wait to feed a piece of barbecue into his mouth, and his eyes rolled into smiles in an instant: "It's delicious!"

Hearing this, the other children looked forward to it even more.

Lin He quickly distributed a small piece to each child, and just finished dividing a plate, making sure that each child had eaten their stomachs, and then let them go home.

After the children had left, my aunt smiled and praised: "Madam did a great job. Letting them eat here can avoid being extorted by some people."

Lin He was taken aback: "Extorted money?"

"Oh, ma'am, you don't know. Some people are just assholes. If you give him a little favor, he will try to find a way to be more greedy. This kind of thing has happened several times before."

The aunt was filled with righteous indignation, as if she had suffered in this regard.

"In the past, there was a kind-hearted gentleman in the city. Every month on the 15th day of the month, he would give out porridge in the city for free, and the poor and the poor could get it."

"As a result, within three months of giving out porridge, some people said that the child ate badly and stole a lot of money from the master. If this happened once, it happened four or five times in a row. After that, the master would do it again No porridge anymore."

The more my aunt talked, the more angry she became. I believe that if those people who extorted money were in front of him, they would want to beat them violently.

Lin He was a little dumbfounded: "How can this happen?"

I have seen many methods of touching porcelain, but this is the first time I have heard of this style.

Li Changhui originally wanted to remind her of this situation, but now he doesn't need it, but he is still a little curious.

"Then why do you let them finish eating here before they can leave?"

Lin He came back to his senses, and said helplessly, "It's not about the girls. Obviously, boys are not as good-looking. I thought, there must be brothers and sisters in the family, and the brothers and sisters eat all the delicious food."

"So I let them all eat here, lest the girls take them home and be forcibly eaten by the brothers and sisters at home, and I have nothing."

Lin He originally had good intentions, but the aunt who was still filled with righteous indignation at the people who stole the money just now, heard what Lin He said, and suddenly said: "What does it matter, the girl will go to someone else's house sooner or later."

Lin He: "..."

She shouldn't talk too much, even if this is what most people think, but she just sounds unhappy.

But the aunt didn't think there was anything wrong with her thinking. Which daughter was brought up and didn't go to someone else's home to support her?
Li Changhui was keenly aware of Lin He's discomfort, so he changed the topic: "Auntie, help me, take these food back, and then see if the steamed buns are ready."

"Oh, okay, I'll go now."

The aunt didn't notice anything, so she happily agreed repeatedly.

After they left, Li Changhui came to Lin He: "Don't think about those things, we will share the food later, and we will take it home to eat."

Lin He was indeed distracted: "Okay, it just so happens that everyone will be back soon."

Li Changhui had already brought out a food box from the carriage next to him, and Lin He was even more pleasantly surprised: "When did you put it in, why don't I know."

"While waiting for An'er to wash up in the morning."

Lin He usually rides in a carriage and stays with him outside, but doesn't go in, so he didn't notice it.

"That's a good feeling. Wrap the leg of lamb in clean oiled paper. When you go back, send it to Xie's family first, and then go home for dinner!"

Delicious food really can heal the mood, just for a while, Lin He is no longer depressed.

It happened that the people in the field also came back one after another. Lin He hurriedly greeted everyone and told everyone by the way that they could bring roast lamb and haggis soup home at noon and have dinner with their parents, wives and children.

Of course, steamed buns are also indispensable. We specially use cornmeal and buckwheat flour, and add two bowls of steamed steamed buns with fine flour.

The chewiness of the buckwheat noodles, the sweetness of the corn, and the softness of the refined flour combine together to create an unexpectedly good taste.

These things are all eaten by the family now, and there are not many vines. The last few times they have been delivered, and by the way, they have also pulled a lot of grain from the warehouse in the town, so they don't have to buy grain for the workers to eat.

There is one thing to say, it's not just that you don't need to spend money to buy it, but more importantly, your own food tastes better.

Even the most common coarse grains are much tastier than bought ones.

In the past few days, people have already asked about these food seeds. Most of the poor people in the city have no land, but they have more or less relatives in the countryside.

It would be good if we could get better seeds.

Lin He is naturally willing to sell the seeds.

This kind of grain is fuller, the germination rate is better, and even the grain seeds with a little more yield.
