People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

When the man at the forest farm left, Cai Xiaolan gave him two taels of money, which was counted as everyone's hard-earned money for collecting herbs, and asked him to bring a message to Wu Daping. In the future, people at the forest farm can use herbal medicines to deduct their medical expenses. Consultation fee.

After two twists and turns, Cai Xiaolan has lost her patience. Instead of spending her good time on unnecessary things, it is better to cook and relax.

Thinking of this, she turned and returned to the house.

In the kitchen, Xu Yinlian was washing rice and preparing to cook.

The poverty of Lingnan Road can be reflected in the daily food.When I was in Yangzhou, thanks to the braised pork and herbal tea business, I could almost eat meat every day.But in Huangfeng Valley, let alone meat, you don’t even have to eat vegetables.

The daily diet is very simple.Just eat porridge with pickles, every day.

"Everyone, what do you want to eat for lunch today?" Cai Xiaolan came to the yard and shouted.

The courtyard was originally very peaceful. Jiang Lihua was stretching lazily. Xu Yenlian and her son were sitting on a low stool with their heads leaning together, not knowing what they were doing.Toyokura was alone in the kitchen, not knowing what he was doing.

After she said something, everyone burst into joy, looked at each other, and said in unison, "No special requirements, just meat!"

The three people's answers, especially Jiang Lihua's, made Cai Xiaolan's face turn red. When she called people to Lingnan Road, she had said that there were enough meat tubes.

"I agree. No matter what method I use today, I will make everyone eat meat." Cai Xiaolan raised her head high, and everyone could only see her side face facing the sun.

There is a layer of fine white hair on the white and tender skin, which smells of youthful confidence.

Once you promise someone, you have to take action.She set her sights on other residents of Huangfeng Valley.They have lived here for so long that they know how to get meat.

Cai Xiaolan packed the Qingdu bulk into several small bags. It would be a loss of etiquette not to bring something when visiting people.

After going around, she finally saw five sheep kept in the yard at the fifth house. She spent half her money to buy two from their house, killing one when she got home and keeping the other for the holidays.

It was summer, and the scorching heat shone down.In this kind of weather, no meat can be kept.In order to retain the best taste, Cai Xiaolan must eat a sheep within today.

One sheep is eaten three times, and the removed sheep bones and large pieces of meat are all used to make soup.As for the rice washed by Xu Yinlian, Cai Xiaolan didn't want to waste it, so she chopped the lamb chops and simmered them to make hand-cooked rice.There are also some fat and lean meats, sliced ​​thinly and ready to be grilled.

The pilaf and lamb soup came quickly.

This sheep grew up eating grass and its meat is not muttony.As soon as it was rolled into the pot, the aroma of meat filled the whole courtyard.Tianxinju came out to pick orchids, and everyone else was waiting anxiously for the pot to start, with saliva in their mouths.

"Hey, what are you doing at home?" A man came in outside the house, speaking incomprehensibly, as if he was swallowing something.

Toyokura turned around and saw that it was his neighbor Tian Peng, "Oh? Have you eaten? I killed a sheep to cure the glutton! How about leaving a piece to eat?"

It was already past dinner time, and Toyokura was just trying to be polite.

Cai Xiaolan got up early in the morning and prepared to catch the thief. Later, she greeted two waves of customers delivering medicine, and went to buy sheep, which took a lot of time.By the time she finished killing the sheep, it was already past noon.The meat simmered for another half an hour, and by this time everyone had already had lunch.

"That's great!" When the man heard Toyokura's invitation, he immediately agreed.

The man went back quickly. As he ran, he did not forget to say, "I'll go back to get the dishes and chopsticks. I'll be right back!"

Jiang Lihua glanced at Fengcang sadly, "Fengcang, I blame you for talking too much. Now it's good, there's another meat-eater!"

There is an old saying that boiling dumplings in a teapot will not bring out the bitterness.Toyokura was just saying a polite word, who would have thought that he could actually accept it.

"It's okay. The weather is so hot now. If you don't finish eating, it will go bad." Cai Xiaolan stopped Jiang Lihua's greed with one sentence, "Besides, how many stomachs do you have for eating so much?"

When Tian Peng came back, he was not alone, and there was a woman behind him.

Coincidentally, as soon as this woman entered the door, Cai Xiaolan's mission was completed.

Before she had done anything, the light curtain suddenly informed her that the task was completed. She was so shocked that she immediately looked around for changes.

"Hey, what are you drying at your door? I saw her taking a bunch. If I hadn't been here, I would have let her take it!" Tian Peng kept shouting for credit.

The woman blushed with embarrassment, leaned back, and spoke intermittently, "I didn't... I was just curious... I didn't take it..."

Xu Yinlian saw the patches here and there on the woman's body and the bruises on her face, and she felt compassion in her heart, "Sister, what kind of trouble are you in?"

Everyone gathered around.

"I -" The woman said "I" for a long time before she explained the matter clearly.Her husband committed a crime and was exiled to Lingnan Road.She planned to travel from near to far, even if she visited all the counties in Lingnan Road, she still had to find someone.Unexpectedly, I encountered robbers on the way and took away all the money.

The three servants were frightened and ran away at night, leaving her alone. They begged all the way to Annan City.

I asked around Annan City but couldn't find anyone, so I went to Yellow Wind Valley to try my luck.When she saw the pure white cotton thread, she wondered what it was, and that's when she saw her being caught by Tian Peng.

"Miss Huang, it's fate that we meet each other. At least have a bite at our place and then set off!"

If you take it without asking, it is stealing.Cai Xiaolan looked down on her.

If it weren't for this, she would definitely try to keep this hard-working person.

While cooking, Cai Xiaolan thought about sharing it with the people around her.Although there are two more people now, there is still a surplus of food.

"Uncle Fengcang, I'll serve some rice and soup. You can help me deliver it to the forest farm. Give it to Manager Wu!" She took out two earthen pots, washed them, and filled them with soup.

"Ah? Can't you wait until you finish eating?" Toyokura looked at the tender and juicy lamb chops in the pot and swallowed.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely wait for you to have dinner together!"

A piece of reassurance.

"Okay, I'll hitch the carriage now. After you finish it, take it outside!" Toyokura walked out, looking back three times at a time.

After Fengcang left, Cai Xiaolan set up a fire in the yard, but couldn't find a suitable stone slab.For a moment, the others were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.

"Xiaolan, what are you looking for? You told us to look for it together!" Jiang Lihua asked.

"I want to find a slate." Cai Xiaolan told everyone about the slate's requirements.Everyone immediately recalled in their minds where they had seen extremely thin stones.

Tian Peng suddenly thumped his hands, "I have a piece at home. I picked it up on the road two days ago. I originally planned to lay it beside the pool. Now it seems that it was just prepared for today." (End of Chapter)
