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

Chapter 357 Chapter 357
Estimating when Li Changhui would come back, Lin He boiled hot water, and Li Changhui came back as soon as it was ready.

"Great, Brother Hui, take these. I'll go fishing by the river. It's best to catch a few bigger crucian carp. One person will roast a crucian carp at night!"

The fishing rod and bait are all ready, just waiting for him to come back.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Li Changhui sweating profusely. He turned around and went into the kitchen. When he came out, he already had a bowl of herbal tea in his hand.

"The chrysanthemum tea that was sun-dried a few days ago, I boiled a pot and soaked it while cooking in the morning. You should drink some to quench your thirst first."

They are ordinary wild small chrysanthemums, which grow in large patches on the hillside. Pick the ones that bloom soon and pick them back, steam them in hot water for a while, and then dry them in the sun.

Such chrysanthemums will not turn black and yellow in the sun, and will not have a bitter taste when soaked in water.

Li Changhui took it and drank it in one gulp. The faint scent of chrysanthemums is not delicious, but it is much better than plain water.

Especially in summer, if it is not chilled, the boiled water cannot be drunk hot, and it will be warm after cooling, which is even more difficult to drink.

Most importantly, chrysanthemum relieves heat and is very suitable for summer.

Every year, Lin He would pick some to make chrysanthemum tea at home, keep enough for himself, and give away the rest, or take it to the field, and make a few pots for the workers every day.

When I was in Yonghe Town, it was like this. At first, I used Huoxiang to boil water to drink, but the Huoxiang water was even more unpalatable, so I changed it to chrysanthemum tea.

Just thinking about it, I heard Lin He say: "When I went to the field just now, I looked from afar and saw that there were more little chrysanthemums. Let Qing Yu go pick flowers with me tomorrow."

The little girl Qingyu has been working with her brother recently, or helping Aunt Liu cook together, as diligent as a little bee.

But they were still smiling all the time, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and in a short time, both brothers and sisters looked radiant.

In Qingsong's words, since working in the Li family, he can finally have enough to eat, which is better than anything else.

What Li Changhui could say, he nodded naturally: "There are more people working now, and I also told Chang Qiang to tell the people in the field to drink less raw water from the river."

Lin He said: "I know, I also heard that Qingyu Qingsong burns two buckets of boiling water every morning, and then carries them to the field."

Not only in the morning, but also when cooking at noon, I will continue to boil two buckets of boiling water to dry. After all, it is hotter and thirstier in the afternoon.

Then take a water ladle, and when you are thirsty, you can just scoop it up and drink it. Although they share the same water ladle, everyone doesn't seem to mind. It's not easy for Lin He to ask everyone to bring their own water glasses.

Depending on the weather, the sun has been shining in the past few days, and the small chrysanthemums have also bloomed a lot. In the past few days, more chrysanthemums have been exposed to the sun. When boiling water in the future, grab a handful and put them in a bucket to relieve the heat.

In addition to chrysanthemum, there are also Huoxiang and mint, which can also be sunbaked. After drinking mint tea, the throat is cool and very comfortable.

The main reason is that Huoxiang has a better effect in relieving heat. In summer, drink it every few days to avoid heat stroke.

Lin He was a little surprised when he saw Li Changhui drank three bowls of water: "So thirsty?"

It shouldn't be, it's only morning, and there's only a little sweat, isn't it?

Li Changhui gave Lin He a complicated look, and finally said, "The dumplings in the morning had too much salt."

Lin He was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Why didn't you say it earlier, it would be good to change to some noodle soup, drinking so much water, it's so salty, it's not delicious."

I recalled it carefully. It seems that when I was mixing the bowls in the morning, there really seemed to be a bowl. I added salt once more.

Li Changhui drank a stomach full of water, finally no longer thirsty, then took a knife and bled the pheasant and cockerel.

The chicken blood was taken in a large bowl, and while he was blanching the chicken with hot water, Lin He filtered the chicken blood through fine gauze, and sprinkled a little salt to make it solidify.

The chicken feathers scalded with hot water are easy to clean, and they are put into the wooden shed to carry them. Put the bunny with its limbs tied up in the wooden bucket, and signal Lin He to take the fishing rod.

"Let's go, go to the river to pack these things first, otherwise it will be hot in a while, and the meat will have to be packed for a while when it comes back. After skewering, chill it with ice first."

When the weather is hot, keep it iced, and it will be fresh when you eat it at night, otherwise the taste will change easily.

It was still the same place where he fished last time. Li Changhui killed rabbits a little downstream. He also disemboweled two chickens, cleaned their intestines and hearts, and washed them with well water when they got home. Pan fried chicken giblets.

The bait Lin He prepared was still warmed with spiritual power. Fishing is naturally very fast, but it is not so easy to catch the size she wants.

When Li Changhui packed up the chickens and rabbits, Lin He caught three palm-sized crucian carp, and the rest were small crucian carp, or other unusual fish whose names Lin He didn't recognize.

There was no other way, seeing Lin He's attitude of not giving up until he caught fish, Li Changhui gave a few words of advice, and then went back first.

After a while, a little guy came by.

"Qing Yu? Why are you here?"

After asking, I realized that Qingyu couldn't speak, so I asked for nothing, and then asked: "Did the master ask you to come?"

Qing Yu nodded with her eyes bent, pointed at herself, and pointed at Lin He.

Lin He smiled and said, "Master asked you to accompany me?"

Qing Yu nodded vigorously, expressing that yes, that's it.

Lin He murmured in his heart, maybe Li Changhui was worried that he would go into the river alone?Looking for someone to watch?

Remembering that he was going to look for Qingyu, he quickly said: "By the way, Qingyu, come to me after dinner tomorrow morning, and go with me to the mountain to pick chrysanthemums."

Qingyu's eyes were a little confused, as if she didn't know what to do with picking chrysanthemums, but she nodded vigorously to show that she knew.

Think about the brothers and sisters from Qingsong and Qingyu, after they settled down in the Li family's farm, she has never had a heart-to-heart talk with anyone. The little girl is so young, and she doesn't know if the previous events will leave her with any psychological shadow. .

"Qingyu, how are you feeling recently? Are you afraid of sleeping at night?"

The siblings both slept in the firewood room. Although it was a firewood room, fortunately the room was not small. Now a lot of firewood was piled up under the eaves.

Moreover, Qingsong's bed is very simple, just an ordinary wooden frame bed, but Qingyu has a bed frame, and Lin He specially asked someone to make a bed cover, so that even if people come and go in and out of the woodshed during the day, they can't see the things on the bed.

After all, it’s a little girl. For a girl, a bed is a relatively private thing. There are many people eating in the kitchen, and it’s not good to be exposed to a group of big men every day.

Qing Yu nodded first, then shook her head, which means that she is doing well recently, are you not afraid?
After thinking for a while, Lin He said, "You guys are building a house recently, you know?"

Qing Yu didn't know why, but she nodded anyway.

"That's where Guanshi Li's family will live in the future. I specially asked someone to add an extra room. When Guanshi Li's wife and children come over, you can also live there. He also has two daughters. You can stay next to Guanshi Li. Daughter's room to live in..."
