Chapter 21: New Clothes

Two days later is Laba Festival, early in the morning Zhang got up to boil Laba porridge, pear blossom sleepy eyes boiling pot, peach blossom is still hiding in the bed to sleep lazy, forgive her for being so lazy, these two days have not slept well, last night was a night of dreams, forgive her for this person, since Jin Dazhong set the bed for her, there is no more squeaky sound, she has insomnia, she is really cheap...... Peach Blossom covered her head and cursed and rolled around on the bed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the end, Mingsheng came in and asked Peach Blossom to get up, and when Peach Blossom got up and cleaned up, the meals were served on the table, which was very hearty. Zhang's porridge is sweet and soft, with black rice, glutinous rice, barley, soybeans, red dates, red beans, peanuts, flower beans and other rice and beans complete, all of which were bought in the city a few days ago, and they also scrambled eggs luxuriously. Zhang gave everyone a full bowl, and in the small basket of steamed buns, the black flour steamed buns were almost finished.

Zhang said: "In a few days, let's steam some white noodles and eat them." "

Le's Mingsheng raised his hands and cheered.

After eating, Zhang's was busy soaking garlic again. Pear blossom and peach blossom follow to help.

Pear Blossom and Peach Blossom sat in the courtyard and peeled off the purple garlic and put it into a small jar, and Zhang poured the prepared rice vinegar into it, and finally sealed it tightly.

"When can I eat it?" asked Peach Blossom.

"When the Chinese New Year comes, we can eat it, and when the garlic, spicy, acetic and sour aromas are blended together, we can eat dumplings, and we can also make cold salad, which is good. Zhang said.

After Laba, the feeling of the year is getting stronger and stronger, and everyone has a smile on their faces, which is a feeling that cannot be experienced at all in modern society, and the year of that era has too much hurry and anxiety, and it is more of a formality.

Peach Blossom sighed while busy making new clothes and quilts with Zhang's Pear Blossom, Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng didn't go to the city, Zhang's didn't let them go, saying that it was too hard, and the family also had money for the New Year, so they could rest at home before the New Year, and they had to be busy with farm work after the New Year, so they were afraid that they would not have time to rest. Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng couldn't help but agree, but they were both idle people, and they went to the field again, and Jingsheng and Mingsheng also went out, not knowing what to do.

In the morning, the family is three at home, and the embroidery workshop should also be put on the agenda, this is a big means of making money, before the peach blossom did not expect the pattern to be able to sell for money, now I am happy, I was overwhelmed with advertising and painting patterns in that era, I think a little bit about two, but I am not very good at painting, but there are Zhang and Pear Blossom these two skillful hands, and I am worried about painting is not good? But the problem is again, it seems that I forgot to buy paper and pen. Last time, it was Peach Blossom who said that Zhang's embroidered on the side, and most of them had seen sunflowers, so you will know it after a little thought. Now if you want to sell it to the other party, you must draw it.

"It's okay, we'll just buy pen and paper the next time we go to the city, and we're not in a hurry anyway. Zhang said.

"That's all there is to it. Rika said.

Peach Blossom sighed, how could she forget such an important thing, she was too excited at the time, didn't she change it to money earlier, she didn't seem to know when she became a money fan......

Then Zhang picked up the cloth and began to measure the peach blossoms.

Pear Blossom asked, "Mother, what do you compare this cloth to? Didn't you say that this cloth was used to make a quilt?"

"I took a closer look, the color is very good, it looks bright, it's a pity to use it as a quilt, it's better to make clothes for your sisters." Zhang put away the cloth, made a mark, and began to measure his arm again.

Peach Blossom obediently raised her hand and said, "Aren't you going to make a quilt?"

"Didn't you buy me some green cloth noodles last time? I think it's a good quilt and it's more resistant to dirt. Zhang responded.

"How's that going to work?!That's for you to make clothes. Peach Blossom took her arm.

"That's it, mother, we specially picked the color for you, you must look good when you wear it. Rika also put down her needle and thread.

"My mother has a lot of clothes, and it's not too late to do it in the future. Zhang looked at his two daughters and said, his heart was very ironing.

"That's not good! If my mother doesn't make new clothes, we don't want them. Peach Blossom pouted.

"Well, we don't make new clothes anymore, anyway, I think the old clothes are good, and they are still warm. Rika also said.

Zhang only felt very hot in his heart, but he still comforted his two daughters and said that he was old, and his new clothes didn't look good when he wore them. But how can peach blossoms and pear blossoms follow, Zhang can't, so he has to say that he can do a set himself. Peach Blossom and Pear Blossom smiled.

Then Zhang spread the measured cloth on the table, took a ruler and scissors to cut skillfully, and after a while, the prototype of the clothes came out, and the peach blossoms looked at it with relish, and felt very magical. Pear Blossom looked at Peach Blossom with a funny look and an eye-opening look.

The morning passed with a bang.

Peach Blossom looked at Zhang and Lihua, who were still working seriously, and said, "Let's stew bone broth at noon, it's nutritious and delicious." "

"Those big bones have nothing to stew, and there's no meat or anything, I don't understand why you want it. Rika looked up and said, then stretched.

"When it's done, you won't say that. Peach Blossom smiled mysteriously.

So the group started making lunch again.

Peach Blossom went to the vegetable patch in the backyard and plucked two radishes, then cleaned them with water, and Zhang cut the radishes evenly into pieces, as if they had been measured with a ruler. The pear blossom will be burned vigorously, the peach blossom added a large pot of water, put a few washed big bones into it, and the rest is still in the basket, now the weather is cold, you can put it for a little longer. Then add star anise, pepper, bay leaves and other seasonings, and wait for the water in the pot to boil before pouring the radish into it. I salted the coriander and put it in a small bowl, and put it in when the soup was ready, so that it would be more flavorful.

"The longer this soup is cooked, the better it tastes, so let's wait." Peach Blossom clapped her hands and said.

"How do you know?" asked Rika.

"Hmph, didn't you say I'm a snacker? That's what snackers study. Peach Blossom said proudly.

"I think that's all you have in mind. Rika pursed her lips and smiled.

Zhang also watched happily and heated up the nest in another pot. In fact, Peach Blossom still likes to eat this mixed noodles made of wowo, and thinks the taste is particularly good, which is more sweet and delicious than the world's white flour steamed buns, probably because everything is original. Zhang's people were tired of eating, thinking about eating white flour steamed buns, but they didn't understand that thick noodles were the best thing for the body.

The fragrance gradually wafted in the kitchen, Pear Blossom couldn't help but sniff, and Zhang also glanced at the pot.

Peach Blossom smiled secretly. This bone broth is also an excellent thing, for his current small body, he is not afraid of eating more, he doesn't like such a thin body that looks sick, he will exercise more in the future, eat more nutrients and quickly raise his body is the king. Modern medical care is underdeveloped, in case there is a disease or disaster, and then unfortunately meet a quack, you will be finished, so it is important to take care of your body.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Zhang lifted the lid of the pot, and suddenly a pungent fragrance quickly spread in the air.

"It smells so good. Pear Blossom shouted, and then looked into the pot, where the thick soup was bubbling outward, and the rich fragrance was coming out in bursts.

"Mother, second sister and third sister, we're back! See what we caught?" Mingsheng's voice came from the far door, and drifted into the kitchen with the sound of footsteps.

"What? Oops" Peach Blossom ran out when she heard Mingsheng's voice, colliding with Mingsheng who rushed in.

"Slow down. Zhang said in the back.
