Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 26
After tidying up, Baishou picked up the two backs of betel grass with a pole, and the two went down the mountain to the river.

This grass bend has a magical effect.They don't have a stove, so they have to make the cakes first and then sell them in the market. Of course, they have to keep the cakes hot when they reach the market, so that people who buy them can smell the fragrance. There is no better way, and there is no reputation. At present, only special fragrance can be used to attract passers-by.And after the grass was cleaned and dried, Wanwan planned to wrap Baishou's most worn-out clothes with hay and sew them inside, put them in a bamboo basket, and then put the cake inside to keep the temperature.

When the two of them carried their backs to the river, many workers in the field looked at them in surprise and curiosity.The village is small, which family has something that everyone doesn't know?Since Wanwan and Baishou have appeared more frequently in the village, everyone's attention to them has also increased!
Everyone knows that Wanwan sent things to Yuan Bao's family, and then there are many stories about Wanwan and Baishou. Everyone is curious about what these two people who are isolated from the world are doing?
There were chattering discussions in the field.

Jindanniang walked to Lanhuaniang, gossiping: "What do you think they are doing?"

Lan Huaniang took a careful look at the man working in the field, and whispered: "I don't know." Then she gave her a wink, telling her not to gossip with her here, lest the man come home and scold her.

At this time, I heard the longevity lady in the field next to me say: "Hey, is the sun really coming out from the west?"

Jin Danniang immediately leaned over excitedly: "Auntie, what do you think he did with such two big backed betels? Could it be that he is raising pigs?"

"Your pigs are willing to wash the grass before feeding them?" Changshou Niang rolled her lips and glanced at her.

Jin Danniang smiled awkwardly: "You know they must be washing the grass? Then what are they doing?"

"Who knows!" Changshou Niang said.As long as it doesn't get in the way of her, she can do whatever she wants!
"I heard that the two of them often go to the market together now, and that huntsman seems to be very good, and he exchanged a lot of money." Jin Danniang said.

"How do you know that they exchanged a lot of silver?" Changshou Niang glanced at her, then curled her lips: "What's the matter with the amount of money? Lifeless flowers are still worthless."

At this time, there was a sound of "pop!", and Baoshan's mother threw away the hoe from her hand in the next field, and shouted to her son, "Baoshan, come and turn over here, my ears hurt! There is a mosquito that is too busy." After finishing speaking, he walked to the opposite Tian Yin and sat down.

Changshou Niang glared angrily and snorted coldly.

After a while, Wanwan and Baishou carried a back of betel grass through the field. The grass naturally reduced in size after getting wet. Lift the back and bend the front so that almost all the weight of the wet grass falls on Baishou's side.

Everyone looked at the back of the wet dripping all the way, dumbfounded!

These two really went to wash the grass!
After a while, Jindanniang burst out laughing, these two idiots!Others couldn't help but laugh.

Wanwan curled his lips when he heard the laughter behind him, laugh, you can laugh vigorously, see if you can still laugh when I earn money?
Wang Baoshan looked at Baishou who was gradually disappearing and shook his head, what a pity.

But Baoshanniang didn't sneer at the two of them like Jindanniang and the others, she looked at the people beside them who were laughing so displeased, she couldn't help ridiculing: "It's not scary that this person is stupid, but the scary thing is that he has a vicious mind. "

The laughter beside him stopped abruptly.

Jindanniang is not easy to talk back because Baoshanniang is an elder, and Lanhuaniang dare not speak because her man is here.But Changshou Niang, who was older than the two of them, refused: "Hmph, there is no such thing as a good person or a bad person at birth. You have to see who you are for if you have a bad heart. But if this person is too shameless, even ghosts and gods will be punished if they see him." Take a detour."

"Dead woman, who are you talking about?" Baoshan Niang stood up from Tian Yin and said angrily.

"Hey, hey, I didn't call the name, this shameless person stood up on his own." Changshou Niang yelled to the left and right, and kept winking at the same time.

Jindanniang and the others all bowed their heads to work silently, and no one answered.

"Who is shameless? I am shameless? My old woman is not as shameless as you are! You have nothing to say all day long with your tongue. You have the longest tongue in this village. I think you are not only shameless, but also a gossip. Are you ashamed to bear this name at such an advanced age..." Yuan Baoniang squinted at Changshou Niang and said contemptuously.

Upon hearing this, Changshou Niang immediately jumped up: "You dead old woman, who are you scolding, don't pretend to be a good person all day long, I will see when you show your old fox tail..."

"You old gossip..."

"You old fox..."

Two old women in their 50s stood in the field and began to scold each other...

When I got home, Wanwan found a sieve to dry the grass. The peppercorns were completely dry, so they packed them in cloth bags, and the peppers were hung under the eaves until they were [-]% dry.Baishou bought radish seeds and sprinkled them in the vegetable garden.

In the past two days, Baishou still went up the mountain to hunt every day.After eating twice in the next life, he also figured out the timing of Wanwan's cooking every day, and he ordered it each time.Sometimes he would go fishing in the river, and then wander around the village with the delicious fish to show off.The people in the village were amazed when they smelled the scent of fish.

After two days in the sun, the fresh grass was dried into hay, and Wanwan found Baishou's dilapidated, patched clothes and came out. He cut the clothes, then spread clean hay on the clothes, and stitched the two sides together with needles and threads. Sew it up, and then roughly sew a few stitches from the middle, a large piece of cloth filled with hay becomes several small fields, first spread a layer of cloth on the bottom of the bamboo basket, spread the hay, and then place the mat on the hay, Then put a layer of cloth on it, so that there is no gap when the cake is placed in the bamboo basket, and it can be kept hot all morning.

With all the tools ready, he got up the next day before the rooster crowed.Then take out the old noodles, sprinkle the flour, and knead the dough with the water of plant ash, leaving a small ball in the bowl as usual.Then add the chopped seasonings and noodles and mix together.

The dough is kneaded into long strips, broken into small pieces, and rolled into round cakes with a rolling pin on a wooden board.Baishou burning fire, the first time I made it, it took almost an hour, and a total of [-] pancakes were fried.

Wanwan put all the cakes into a bamboo basket and covered them with a cloth.The two had a quick breakfast and then went to the market.

When they arrived at the market, as before, the two found a place, Wanwan put out the bamboo basket, took out two pieces of cakes and put them on top, and Bai first went to exchange the prey.

At Sishi, there were more people in the market, and the golden cakes were really good, attracting many people to stop and look at them, but no one came forward to ask.

Wanwan stood there looking at the passers-by, thinking about whether to apply some modern sales techniques. At this time, a woman passed by with a child, and the yellow and crispy cakes immediately attracted the child. The child stared straight at the cakes and dragged The corner of the woman's clothes tugged: "Mother, I want to eat that!"

The woman and the child are all wearing ordinary coarse clothes, and they should also be farmers.

Wan Wan smiled at the woman and said, "Eldest sister, try the fragrant and fluffy pancakes."

"What kind of cake are you?" The woman looked into the bamboo basket, it was very fragrant!

"This is scallion pancake." Wanwan smiled, then picked up the pancake, broke a small piece and handed it to the woman, "Try it, if it doesn't taste good, you don't have to buy it."

The woman froze for a moment, it was the first time she had bought something before buying it, she hesitated for a while and took a bite.
