The eldest patriarch, Li Ende, is sixty-seven years old, a very upright old man, and the two sons he taught are also good children.

"The honest daughter-in-law is here?" asked the old woman who was serving porridge next to him.

"Well, I came to borrow a crockpot at noon today, and when I came back, I brought a plate of dumplings, didn't Xiaosi come back, I guess she made something good for the child to eat. Chen Fengzhen said the matter in general.

"How can you ask for her things, it's not easy for her to pull Xiao Si alone. Li Ender frowned.

"Dad, my aunt had to give it, and my mother didn't push it back for a long time. Wang Danfeng hurriedly relieved her mother-in-law.

"The big girl is sincere to give, if I twist it, don't hurt my feelings, I've thought about it, didn't my nephew send me some soybeans a few days ago, and I'll send her some one day." "Chen Fengzhen is really good-tempered.

Li Ende listened and nodded.

"There are a total of thirty dumplings, three for each child, three for your father, and two for each of us. "Chen Fengzhen's distribution is still very fair.

"I don't have to eat so much, I can give it all to the children. Li Ende pushed the bowl in front of his little grandson.

Li Tieshun hurriedly piled back his father's bowl, "Dad, the children have it, it's not enough for me and his mother, you eat your own, no one has to give it." ”

Li Ende looked at it, and then pushed the bowl to the daughter-in-law next to him, "You eat, I can't eat it." ”

Chen Fengzhen looked at the old man and smiled, "If you can't eat it, you have to eat it, this is the eldest girl's intention, and the eldest girl said that this dumpling filling is a small four tune, let your uncle tell her after eating." ”

The children watched with relish as they pushed back and forth at the dinner table.

Li Ende's old face turned red and coughed, "Don't look at it, eat and eat." ”

As soon as the parents spoke, the children cheered, grabbed the chopsticks and ran to the dumplings in the bowl.

"Meat-filled?" shouted the first child to eat dumplings.

"Well, it's all meat, it's delicious. ”

"Mother, it's really a dumpling with meat. The little girl happily shared her joy with Zhou Shumei.

The adults listened to the children's words and quickly picked up the dumplings in the bowl and tasted them.

It's really meat filling, the meat is all huddled, and it must not be of the same grade as the meat foam dumplings they wrapped.

"It seems that Xiao Si got something good back in the city. Boss Li Tiegang said.

"You can eat it well, no one can say that your uncle and grandmother eat dumplings outside, you know. Li Ende told a few children with a straight face, for fear that a few children would eat good food and go out to show off, so that other people's families would know that it would not be good for their younger siblings to eat dumplings.

"Got it, grandpa. The children shouted in unison.

Besides, Yuan Si didn't nest in the kitchen in the afternoon. She deeply felt the inconvenience of not having a pot, so she asked the old lady to go to her old sister's house in the afternoon to sit down, and by the way, she asked where she bought her iron pot, how much iron was used and how much money was used.

In the afternoon, she was home alone, looking at the wheat stalks in the yard, and she decided to exercise her mental power to see if she could braid her hair with her mental power.

She was not short of those cents now, after all, she had 1,500 Chinese dollars in her pocket. And braiding with mental power can not only exercise mental power, but also make a little money, why not.

So this afternoon, Yuan Si was at home by herself, controlling her spiritual power to weave wheat straw in the air. At first, it was a little crooked, but after a few strokes, she found the feeling, and the more she knitted, the more comfortable it became.

It's not that Yuan Si is a genius and learns everything quickly, the main thing is that she was originally a high-level ability, and now the ability has been swept to the end, which only refers to the level of the ability, and to put it simply, it is persistence, but she has not forgotten the method and ability to control the ability.

The old lady went out for an afternoon, and when she came back, Yuan Si had already gone into the kitchen to cook again.

At this time in the evening, Yuan Si still took the rest of the noodles, she poured the marinated meat in the crockpot into the wooden basin, and most of the braised meat soup in the crockpot was also poured over, so she left a little bit in the crockpot.

Yuan Si added water into it again, and after boiling, he rolled the noodles and carrot slices by hand, and the marinated broth was full of seasonings, and when the noodles were cooked, a little salt was added, and nothing else was added, and the noodles and carrots were boiled with a meaty smell in them.

That's not all, she also took a large piece of braised bear meat, cut it into thin slices, and stacked it on top of the noodle bowl.

When the old lady came back, she saw two bowls of hot noodle soup with such color and aroma.

The old lady tilted her body, quickly grabbed the wall by herself, and asked calmly: "Si'er, is that bag of noodles enough to eat until the day after tomorrow?" "It means that if you save a little, you have to support it until the day after tomorrow, or the two of you will have to break off.

Of course, it means that there is no white flour to eat, and there is still some corn at home. But in her opinion, the little girl is so bad that she is willing to eat bud rice.

"It's okay, if there is no face, then the two of us will eat meat on top, why can't we deal with it until the day after tomorrow." Yuan Siman said nonchalantly.

The old lady couldn't stand the stimulation and sat down on the small bench.

Early the next morning, Yuan Si left again, this time she went to the county to change the iron pot.

Yuan Si knew that she could exchange it for scrap iron, of course, she went to the reservoir first, went into the water and fished up the scrap iron that she threw down with her own hands, and saw that there were fish coming, so she hit some by the way. Now that there are seasonings, eating fish is not limited to cooking porridge and roasting, and it is also good to eat a fish from time to time to change the taste.

After she got out of the water, she went straight to the county seat.

There is an iron shop in the county, which was personal before the founding of the People's Republic of China, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it became a state, and the iron workers in it are still the original craftsmen.

The blacksmith produces all kinds of farm tools and daily necessities, and the production is directly sent to the supply and marketing cooperatives for sale, and the ironsmith is not responsible for selling.

After Yuan Si entered the county seat, she did not go to the blacksmith or the supply and marketing cooperative, but turned left and right into a family area, which was the home of the blacksmith who the old lady inquired about.

This blacksmith has a more active brain, and he is unwilling to take only more than 30 yuan every month, so he takes on some work by himself in private.

But he never dared to take advantage of the public, others wanted to ask him for something, they all wanted to take a latte to him to collect some manual fees, and then after work, he worked overtime in the store to secretly process it.

Since the big canteens in some places can't be run anymore, he has a lot more private work.

Yuan Si didn't go in for a long time, she came out, she found a place, picked some broken copper and iron from the space, and sent it to the master's house again when she saw that there was no one. When she came out this time, she was not empty-handed, but carrying an iron pot about the size of her on her back.

When there was no one, Yuan Si threw the two iron pots she was carrying into the space.

Yes, it is two iron pots, Li Yuansi's stove is large, there are three fire eyes, and you can put two iron pots and a clay pot.
