Crossing the Splendid Farmhouse

Chapter 50 Insomnia
Tang Meier's voice sounded very cheerful.

"Chestnut, there are so many people eating at noon today, it seems that our cooking pot is not big enough. But luckily, mother bought another [-] catties of rice..."

Tang Xing'er held Tang Li'er's hand, her voice was half sad and half joyful.

"It doesn't matter if the pot is not big enough, as long as there is enough rice. At worst, let's cook a few more pots..."

Tang Lier wasn't worried about the food, but the food.Fortunately, there are butchers in the village, but I don't know if Zhang Butcher's house in the east of the village still sells meat?
"That's right, it's definitely enough for us to cook a few more pots. Sister Chestnut, are you worried that there is no food at home? Don't worry, when I went to the old house just now, I saw that the butcher's meat stall hadn't been put away. I want money, I'll cut some meat back. By the way, I have to ask him to give me some bones. The bone soup cooked by Sister Chestnut is delicious..."

Tang Meier ran over bouncingly, and she knew clearly what Tang Lier was really embarrassed from the moment she opened her mouth.

"In this case, Meizi, go and cut the meat. I'll go home and take a sickle to cut some leeks. Let's eat meat and drink bone soup at noon, and add a scrambled egg with leeks. By the way, when I cut leeks last time, I saw There are wild tomatoes, but they were not red then, and I wonder if they are red now?"

Tang Lier quickly took out the only thirty copper coins she had on her body from her purse, and handed it to Tang Meier together with the purse.

Tang Meier was clever and quick-witted, and she was in her own village, so she had nothing to worry about.

More than a dozen people harvested rice, and now the rice has been continuously transported back to Shauguping, so Tang Xing'er and Tang Jie didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly lifted the mats and put them in Shauguping to start drying the rice.

Tang Lier came back after cutting a large handful of leeks, and luckily found several wild tomatoes.She came back with a lot of tomatoes and was going to make a tomato salad.

At this time, the cabbage and radishes in the field have just been planted not long ago, and it is the time when they are green and yellow.Fortunately, there are still enough peppers on the pepper tree, but there are not enough beans to pick for a meal.

When Tang Lier washed the rice, Tang Meier came back panting with the meat and a pack of bones.

Tang Meier lit the fire, while Tang Lier hurriedly washed and cut the vegetables.

In order not to waste time, the siblings will go to the field to deliver food later.

Fortunately, these things are what Tang Lier is used to.Although she is small now, she does things in an orderly manner.There were no more potatoes in the house, so Tang Lier simply used bones and soybeans to make soup together, and then fried a green chili bean stir-fried meat, and fried a large pot full.

Next, she scrambled scrambled eggs with leeks and a salad of tomatoes.

When their siblings delivered the prepared meals to the field several times, the strong aroma of the meals spread far and far.

Although Li Village is next door to Lishan Village, the poverty of Tang Kun's family and Wu's suppression and dislike for Tang Kun have already spread to their village.I thought that I might not be able to get a full meal after working hard today, but I didn't expect that what was waiting for them was a meal with good color, fragrance and taste.

In particular, the stewed soybeans with bones are cooked to the right heat.With milky white bone soup and plump and fragrant soybeans, everyone feels that their visual taste buds have been strangely satisfied after a bowl of bone soup.

What Tang Lier didn't know was that after today, Li Village next door gradually got the habit of making soup with bones and soybeans.On the contrary, in Lishan Village, it was several years later that everyone slowly realized the benefits of using bones and soybeans to make soup.

The villagers in Li Village who came to help were full of admiration when they knew that all the meals today were prepared by Tang Lier.It is also from today that most of the villagers in Li Village next door remember Tang Lier, a girl who is ingenious and can cook...

Perhaps because of the good and full lunch, the speed of threshing in the afternoon has been accelerated a lot.What originally took more than a dozen people at least one and a half days to complete was completed in one day.

Not only that, but all the grain was transported back, and even the haystacks were piled up.

Before lunch, Mr. Tang personally delivered half of the wages.With Xiao Lizheng's words first, even the Wu family would not dare not give that half of the wages.After this incident, Wu Shi finally began to calm down.

It's also fortunate that Xiao Lizheng made a sudden decision on a whim, otherwise, Tang Kun and Zhao Shi really couldn't afford all the wages.Fortunately, the Zhao family has to go to the market these days, and they can sell a lot of chickens and ducks every time, and now they all take it out to pay the villagers of Li Village...

Even so, the joy of harvest still made Tang Kun and Zhao happy.

Although, only more than 1000 catties of grain actually reached them.However, they don't have to worry about going hungry for at least half a year.

After half a month of collecting and selecting, Tang Li'er has collected more than 200 catties of chestnuts to be used to make sugar-fried chestnuts.There are also sweet potatoes, she specially chooses the kind of red sweet potatoes that are not too big or small, and the other sweet potatoes are ready to be used as dried sweet potatoes.

She is also going to make sweet potato flour, but she doesn't have the time and energy to do it right now.

Tang Lier is busy collecting and picking chestnuts every day, trying to find ways to improve the family's food, and separating the sweet potatoes for roasted sweet potatoes from the dried sweet potatoes. She has so much to do that she finally has no time to think Family.

It seems that there is only a blink of an eye, but half a month is fleeting.Tomorrow is the first day of September, and it is also the time for Mingxianglou's half-monthly tea party.

That night, Tang Li'er carefully checked the charcoal chestnuts and sweet potatoes that were going to be brought to town tomorrow several times, as well as the oily paper bags for chestnuts and sweet potatoes, and even the spatula and tongs.

"Chestnut, don't worry. Even Uncle Lizheng and Auntie Lizheng say that our sugar-fried chestnuts are delicious, and they will definitely sell for a good price..."

Tomorrow, I will go to the town to start selling fried sugar and fried chestnuts, but Tang Li'er has insomnia for the first time.

Looking at Tang Li'er who was baking pancakes on the bed, Tang Xing'er finally spoke to comfort her.

The reason why Tang Xinger said so was well-founded. That day, in order to thank Xiao Lizheng for his fairness and righteousness, Tang Lier personally fried a portion of sugar-fried chestnuts and asked Xiao Lizheng and his wife to help him taste one or two. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lizheng The couple and their daughter Xiao Laner were full of praise after eating.

Xiao Laner also became the first friend Tang Lier made in the Great Chu Dynasty because of the fried chestnuts in sugar.

"I'm not worried about this. I'm just worried that our sugar-fried chestnuts are too easy to sell, and I will work very hard because of it. Really, how could I worry about bad business? Didn't you hear what Sister Lan'er said, she will pester you tomorrow Let Aunt Xiao come to the town to cheer for us..."
