Seventy peanuts
On the second day, when Shi Niang saw the peanuts on the table, she remembered that she asked Mama Li to save all the peanuts that Li Cheng brought back from Taihang Mountain last year, and planted them in the ground this year, so she called Mama Li in and asked her how much this thing produced?
"Miss, this thing has been planted with one acre of land this year, and it has been harvested for about five hundred catties, and you will bring it all back before you go out, so I will make the decision and exchange the tenant farmer's share of rice back......," Mama Li replied.
"Well done!" Shi Niang praised her, and then said, "Mama, we will first pick a hundred catties of plump ground fruits as seeds, and we will continue to plant this thing next year." ”
"Miss, this is just a snack, what do you want to plant so much?" asked Mama Li in surprise.
Eleven Niang peeled a peanut and put it in her mouth, chewed it, and said, "Snack, there is also a use for snack." ”
The peanuts are still raw, and after eating a few grains, I feel a little fishy, Shi Niang stopped and said to Mama Li: "Mama, these fruits taste too light when eaten raw, let's put some salt and cook them!"
Cooking? Mama Li thought about it for a while, and felt that this fruit was good to eat raw, so did she still need to cook it? However, she rarely objected to Shi Niang's request, so she immediately went down to cook peanuts after receiving the order.
Peanuts, peanuts, people nowadays have not realized the economic value of peanuts, but they regard it as an ordinary wild fruit, this peanut is a good thing, the simplest, is to extract oil. You know, there are very few vegetable oils in this era, only red and blue flower oil, jujube oil, perilla oil and sesame oil, etc., and these are all crops with low yield per mu, red and blue flower oil because of the bad taste, more is used as lighting oil, sesame oil tastes good, but because of low yield, in this era, it is almost as a luxury. Therefore, she must pound out this peanut oil, not for others, but only for her own tongue, which is also necessary.
When the fourth lady came over, Mama Li just brought the boiled peanuts, and the eleventh lady peeled one and tasted it, and found that it tasted good, so she beckoned the fourth lady and others to eat it together.
"Eleventh sister, this thing tastes so delicious!" the fourth lady exclaimed.
"This-" Eleven Niang thought for a while and said, "Mama Li said that it is called the Earth Fruit, because it grows in the ground, but I don't think this name is good, and I am planning to give it a new name, and I am still thinking about it." ”
"Alas, I envy you to death
"Hehe, Fourth Sister, you will be here in the future
"That's too. ”
Eleven Niang looked at Mama Li and asked, "Mama, is there any fruit left?" ”
Mama Li said: "Yes, the slave boiled a small pot, so let Xiao Xing send it to the second master." ”
After eating boiled peanuts, the fourth lady pestered the eleventh mother to go out shopping, she specifically mentioned that she wanted to go to the teahouse mentioned in the last letter to Mrs. Xu by the eleventh lady, there is no similar teahouse and storyteller in Shangyuan County, so after the fourth lady knew, she was itchy and wanted to listen to it once.
Eleven Niang thought that she had nothing to do today anyway, so she agreed, and asked Xiao Tao to tell Xu Lu's family, and the two sisters went out to listen to the story.
When I came to the teahouse last time, the story told by the storyteller this time was actually the same as the pillow last time.
The two sisters found an empty table and sat down, the fourth lady listened with relish, and the eleventh lady began to think about other things.
It is said that the oil used in the house is all lard, and occasionally sesame oil is used, and eating lard often is not good for her health, so she plans to bring back peanuts this time
Also, the bitter bezoars are about to ripen, and in a few more than ten days, Li Sanbao and the others will be able to go back to pick the bitter bezoars, but where to bring the things back? Last year, they were placed in Luer Lane in Shangyuan County, and it is unlikely that they will be put there again this year, so they have to buy another house for the warehouse.
Is this going back to Li Sanbao to buy it privately, or through the second uncle? Shi Niang pondered.
At that time, he reported to two families according to Mrs. Xu's intentions, namely one for the second room and one for the fourth room, of which the head of the second room is Xu Zhongyan, and the head of the fourth room is Eleven Niang, so if Eleven Niang buys her own property now, it is not considered private property in the law, even if it is known by the people in the second room in the future, there is no need to hand over the property to the public school.
However, it will leave a mustard among relatives.
Alas, what a trouble!
The storyteller finished telling the whole pillow note, and when Eleven Niang was woken up by the fourth lady, she hadn't made a choice.
"Oh, Eleven sister, that storyteller is so good, why don't you listen carefully!" The fourth lady said dissatisfiedly, the first time she heard about the book, she felt that Eleven Niang's reaction was simply tyrannical.
Shi Niang said helplessly: "Fourth sister, after you listen to this story seven or eight times, you will react like me." ”
"Ah, you've heard it seven or eight times!" exclaimed the fourth lady.
But no, Brother Jun was fascinated by this story at the beginning, and she told this story at dinner time for three days and two days, but in total, she didn't hear it seven or eight times, and more importantly, she was not interested in this kind of Tom Su story of marrying Bai Fumei and entering the pinnacle of life through dreaming, okay!
Back in the house, Eleven Niang was invited to Xu Zhongyan's study by Ming Lu.
After entering, I saw Xu Zhongyan pick up a peanut and asked, "Eleven Niang, what is this thing called? Why haven't I eaten it before?"
Eleven Niang said: "Second uncle, this thing is called the ground fruit, it is a kind of wild fruit in Mama Li's hometown, she said that people over there often eat this thing as a snack, I also tasted it last year, and found it delicious, so I let her plant a little bit in the grange this year." ”
"Yes, it's hard for you to think of planting, this thing is really delicious, especially when drinking, it can be used as a snack with wine!"
Seeing that there was a small glass of wine next to the plate containing peanuts, Eleven Niang thought: The second uncle will really enjoy it, this thing is not the best wine and food for drunkards in the future generations!
Eleven Niang touched her head and said, "Second uncle, I saw in the book that the fruits of many plants can be used to extract oil......
