There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 108 Work More, Eat More, Work Less, Eat Less (Part [-])

Mrs. Zhong didn't bring melons from her natal family, and Mrs. Luo Sun complained.

However, he brought back a few wild bamboo shoots, a small handful of melon seeds, and a handful of shallots.

Li Jiaoniang cut off the bearded roots of the shallots, planted them one by one in the corner of the yard, watered them, and waited for the shallots to grow taller.

As for the leaves of the scallions, they will be used to stir-fry the shrimp later.

That small handful of melon seeds was planted in a dilapidated earthen pot filled with pastoral soil, and placed beside the fence wall.

After thinking about it, she simply found a few more old clay pots, filled them with soil, and planted cabbage seeds, soybean seeds, sorghum seeds, and bean seedlings.

It takes time for seeds to germinate, and it also takes time for Luo Cheng to plow the ground.

Ten days later, the seedlings grew out, and Luo Cheng's soil over there was also prepared, ready to transplant the seedlings.

As for rice seeds, they cannot be planted in the ground, and they cannot see the sun before they germinate. They need to be germinated in the house with clean warm water.

She first soaked the seeds in warm water to sterilize them, then poured out the water, then poured the seeds into a clay pot, and sprayed warm water several times a day to promote germination.

In this way, prepare at the same time, so as not to miss the season.

Li Jiaoniang was busy in the courtyard, moving the pots and digging the soil, and spraying water into the soil of the pots from time to time.

Chunbao curiously walked over to watch the excitement.

Li Jiaoniang was worried that this bastard would cause damage, and she and Luo Cheng would have to run out of rations for this year.

She squinted her eyes, pointed to a bucket of shrimp in the yard and said, "Do you want to eat it? Chunbao."

Chunbao ruined Li Jiaoniang's book, and was always worried that she would beat him up, so he nodded honestly, "Yes."

"Okay, I'll give you another task. Eat the shrimp when you're done. Three times a day, report to me about the germination of the seeds here. If you find any wild cats and birds coming to steal the seeds to eat, you will drive them away immediately. How about it? Can you do it? I did it, and I'll give you some more shrimp later."

that's all?Chasing wild cats and birds?

It's easy.

Chun Bao nodded confidently, "Okay."

"Okay, let's just say that." Li Jiaoniang patted Chunbao's shoulder with a smile, and walked away.

Chun Bao glanced at her back, moved a tree stump stool to the earthen pot where the seeds were placed, put his hands on his knees, and stared at it for a moment.

The working attitude is very serious.

Luo Sun came to his side, "What are you looking at? Chunbao?"

"Sister Jiao Niang planted the seeds, telling me to keep an eye on wild cats and birds."

Luo Sun curled her lips and muttered, "You always tell my grandson to do things, you evil-minded witch! Hmph!"

Zhong rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen. Seeing Li Jiaoniang scooping rice into the earthen basin and filling it with water to rinse, she hurriedly said, "Let me come, Jiaoniang."

"Auntie has been walking all the way, let's take a break." Li Jiaoniang smiled, washed the rice, put it in the casserole on the stove, and started cooking porridge.

Under the current conditions, the family cannot eat rice every meal.

She only bought [-] catties of rice and went home. If so many people ate rice, they would be finished within ten days.

"I'm not tired, I haven't walked much." Zhong lived here for free, feeling overwhelmed, and refused to let Jiaoniang work, "I have porridge for lunch, how about baking some buckwheat cakes? As for vegetables, there are wild rice stems and dried radishes."

She saw the prawns, but she wasn't sure whether Jiao Niang was going to bring them to sell or give them to everyone to eat.

She was embarrassed to mention it.

Li Jiaoniang said at this time, "Put the wild boar skin in the wild boar and fry it together, and then make a plate of shrimp. Auntie won't let me in the kitchen, so I will pick the shrimp." He rushed to the courtyard.

Zhong sighed again in her heart, she really couldn't open her mouth to talk about borrowing money.

……

Li Jiaoniang picked out a few big red-shelled lobsters and prepared to cook.

She will raise the other prawns and bring them to the market in the village tomorrow morning to sell them.

Zhong made cakes and pancakes, and cooked the porridge on the stove by himself.

Li Jiaoniang cut the cleaned lobster claws into sections, removed the shrimp head, put them in a bowl with shredded green onion and ginger, and then poured rice wine to marinate for flavor.

After the porridge on the stove was ready, Li Jiaoniang picked up the casserole and put it on the ground to cool.

She also took a small iron pot and set it on the stove for cooking.

During this period, cooking was just popular, and there were not many types of oil for cooking, only soybean oil and sesame oil, or boiled tallow.

Li Jiaoniang took a small spoonful of soybean oil and put it into a small casserole. When the oil was heated, she poured the shrimp tails and shrimp claws and some seasonings into the pot and stir-fried.

For a moment, the fragrance overflowed.

Luo Cheng, who was repairing the fence in the courtyard, frequently turned his head to look at the small kitchen.

Chun Bao sucked his nose and licked his lips non-stop.

Luo Sunshi wanted to go into the kitchen to have a look, but then thought that Li Jiaoniang was also there, so forget it, I won't go.

Li Jiaoniang fried prawns and wild water bamboo with pork skin.

She cooperated with Zhong Shi, and the lunch was cooked quickly.

The sun was shining brightly at noon, and the dining table was set in a cool main room with a draft.

Six people, each with a bowl of white rice porridge with Chinese toon leaves, plus two slices of buckwheat pancakes.

Dried radish and wild water bamboo are shredded and fried, and everyone eats together.

Shrimp, on the individual.Everyone looked at the shrimp eagerly, not knowing how to divide them.

Li Jiaoniang was in charge of the house, she first picked up three big ones and a few paws, and gave them to Luo Cheng, "Brother Luo Cheng is the hardest one, he eats a lot."

Luo Cheng was very satisfied, and said to Zhong, "Auntie, eat too."

"Hey, eat what you want." Zhong only picked up dried radishes.

Li Jiaoniang gave her two yuan, "Auntie is hard at cooking, eat more."

Zhong was very grateful and thanked.

Seeing that Mrs. Luosun's bowl was still empty, and Mrs. Luosun still had a stern face, she picked up a piece of prawn meat and wanted to give it to Mrs. Luosun.

At this time, Li Jiaoniang took a piece and put it in Luo Sun's bowl, "Ninth wife eat."

He gave two more pieces of Chunbao, "One is your share, and the other is because you are the youngest."

She picked up two pieces for herself, and gave the last two pieces and a few claws to Chunya.

"It's done, let's eat." Li Jiaoniang smiled and gnawed on the big lobster claw.

Wow, it smells so good.

Luo Sun was the least, and she was so angry that she wanted to slap her chopsticks and stop eating. Then she thought, what if she loses her temper and Luo Cheng drives her away?
Shengsheng held back his anger.

Li Jiaoniang glanced at her and said deliberately, "In the future, everyone will eat and distribute according to work. Work more and eat more, work less and eat less. In our hometown, men work until they are 60 and women retire at 55. Those who are not ill have to follow this age standard." She glanced at Mrs. Luo Sun and said with a smile, "Ninth wife is going to live a long life this year?"

"My grandma is 51 this year, and she just celebrated her [-]th birthday last year." Chunbao, who got two pieces of shrimp, immediately got a better impression of Li Jiaoniang, and replied first.

"Oh, Ninth Wife, you haven't reached the age of retirement yet, are you?" Li Jiaoniang spoke with a kind expression on her face.

Although you are the oldest, you are not weak, you can beat Zhong so loudly.

Luo Sun's face turned blue with anger, and he ate his food resentfully, without saying a word.

……

Because Li Jiaoniang distributed according to her work, after lunch, Mrs. Luo Sun quietly asked Chun Ya, "Are you going to go fishing for shrimp later? Take me there."
