316, dreams
The sky is not yet bright, but when the first rooster crows, Shi Hong has already dressed in the dark, adapted to the darkness, gently pushed open the door, lightly went to the kitchen, touched the flint and lit a handful of straw and put it into the stove, and put a few dead branches in succession to ignite the fire before setting up two firewood, the dried firewood is very good to burn, watching the fire lick the firewood, she filled in two thick sticks into it, this kind of stick is not very easy to burn, but it is especially burned, and it can also play a supporting role in the stove, so as to avoid the burned charcoal from collapsing into a pile, and it has to be taken care of, with it, you only need to lick the firewood from time to time to maintain the fire, you don't have to ask someone to start the fire.
As soon as the fire was lit, the whole stove room was lit up, Shi Hong clapped his hands, stood up to wash the pot and mix water, scooped two scoops of cornmeal into it, thought about it, or scooped a small half bowl of rice and put it in, stirred it twice, covered the pot, and quickly chopped the slightly larger sweet potatoes that were picked out yesterday into pieces, opened the pot, poured the sweet potatoes into it, stirred evenly, put two long bamboo chopsticks in the pot, set up the bamboo steaming grid, and put the cakes that had been cooked in advance last night on it, so that the porridge and cakes were also hot.
After doing this, Shi Hong sat back in front of the stove, took out the charcoal burned in the stove with tongs, put it into a clay pot next to the stove, covered it after clipping, added two more firewood to the stove, and got up and gently probed the clay pot sitting behind the pot, because it was the use of the embers, the water in the jar had not yet heated up, she didn't have to care about the fire in the stove, she simply dragged the bamboo basket on the other side, the basket was the sweet potato vine that was pulled back yesterday, and there were some small sweet potatoes, speaking of which sweet potatoes are really a treasure, compared to rice and wheat, it saved a lot of effort to plant, and finally got more results, but unfortunately it is to eat too much heartburn, otherwiseShe felt that she could only eat this, not only as a meal, but also as a snack, and there was nothing better.
But now this is not bad, add something else can be used as a staple food, as long as diligent, father and mother are also willing to make some snacks for them at the time of harvest, sweet potato vines can be fed to pigs, in order to grow sweet potatoes well in the future, to mention the vine, and will also appropriately pull out some of the dense small sweet potatoes.
These sweet potato vines have been roughly cleaned, washed away the attached soil, Shi Hong put the scrapped cutting board into a bamboo plaque that has been a little scattered on the side, and took the kitchen knife that was missing a few mouths and cut it up. The cutting board to the kitchen knife are all replaced after the old, which can be regarded as exerting residual heat, Shi Hong cut quickly, and soon there was a large pile of cut sweet potato vines at hand, and when she met a slightly larger sweet potato, she picked it out and threw it aside, and when the time came, it was washed and added to the cornmeal to cook together.
When the white gas came out of the pot, Shi Hong withdrew a few firewood from the stove, but instead of extinguishing it, he put it in another stove next to it. There is also a big pot in the stove here, but what is cooked here is pig food, there is half a pot of washing water in the pot, Shi Hong poured the sweet potato vine he cut into the pot three times, stirred it, and left the pot with a lid and left it alone.
Then I washed my hands, the water in the clay pot was already hot at this time, scooped out two scoops and then filled the water and continued to wait for it to be hot, at this time there were already two pots burning, even if the water in the clay pot was added with cold water, it was not afraid that it would not be hot.
Then I washed my face with the two scoops of hot water, and at this time the people at home also got up one after another, she poured the residual water on the wall, put the wooden basin away, opened the jar and fished out the pickles for a night, cut them into dices, sprinkled with a little pepper noodles and pepper noodles, and tasted them after mixing well.
The kind of chili noodles she specially added after grinding her own kang paste can't be compared with chili oil, but she is already very satisfied, and now this day has passed and gotten better, and one day, the day when they can add oil to any dish at home.
The kimchi was brought to the table, the fire in the stove was all withdrawn to the stove next to it, the cakes were picked up, the porridge was scooped and all brought to the table, and the family came into the kitchen, and after washing, the family sat around the table and ate breakfast.
Shi Hong's family of eight people, after eating, the parents went to work in the field, the grandfather sat in the yard to break the bamboo, the grandmother cleaned up the kitchen, from now on, the housework at home is what she does, and when Shi Hong comes back at night, she will rest, and the rest of the work will naturally be taken over by juniors.
Shi Hong has a brother and a sister, my brother is eighteen, Shi Hong has long been looking forward to her brother marrying a sister-in-law as soon as possible, so that she doesn't have to do things in the morning, she can also be lazy, but unfortunately, now the girls here are not married so early, the family will generally leave them until after eighteen to get married, and they can also help the family for a few more years, in the same way, her sister is sixteen this year, but her parents refused a few matchmakers, only saying that the family is reluctant to stay for two more years- In fact, everyone doesn't know who, but this seems to have become a convention, and everyone speaks it well, learning from the princess.
The princess is on their side, it is a legend-like existence, the old people in the family are silent outside, never talk about a word, after telling the children at home, they love to talk about things such as they have seen the princess Niangniang, and have eaten what the princess Niangniang did by herself, and even a lot of food here, they love to play a princess Niangniang's signboard, of course, these are all private, everyone looks at each other, they are all tacit, no fool put it on the face. After all, when the princess changed from a little orphan girl to a princess, many people who talked nonsense were warned, even if the princess herself didn't mind her past affairs, then no one would dare to gamble on the future of her family to bet on the prince's tolerance, right.
However, there is a princess in the farmer's family, which is still very inspirational, and inexplicably everyone has a strange sense of pride, many people who work in industries that have something to do with the princess don't care what the place where they work is called, all of them are collectively called the princess's mother's house.
The embroidery workshop of the princess's mother's house, the winery of the princess's mother's house, the orchard of the princess's mother's house, and the pharmacy of the princess's mother's house...... It doesn't matter which of them are from the princess's mother's family, and which ones are the princess's mother's name, anyway, they are the princess's mother's family........ Helper!
Shi Hong's family, there are five people who can look at people like this vaguely, her mother cooks in the garden of the princess's mother's house, saying that it is a garden, just because there are too many industries there, several large industries are concentrated together, and there is a canteen for dinner, and it follows the name of everyone in the manor before, and several workshops such as pastry houses, vermicelli processing workshops, bean skin processing workshops, and livestock breeding farms have all become gardens.
Shi Hong heard her 1 mother say that it was not big before, but at that time she was still young, she had not seen it with her own eyes and could not imagine what it looked like before, but now she saw it anyway, the whole mountain is a house hidden among the trees, I heard that in the past, except for the earliest manor, the whole mountain was planted with flowers, trees and bamboos, and now in addition to the entire foot of the mountain is still a fence surrounded by roses, the vines on the mountain have been replaced by trees. It is said that compared to before, there are a lot more houses, but relatively speaking, it is also concentrated, and the trees are mainly fruit trees, when spring comes, the mountains are full of flowers, it looks really beautiful, there are more people, and the people in the canteen naturally need more, but even if there are many more people, Shi Hongniang has to be busy all day long, and there is no time to rest, which also leads to her moving more mouths and less hands after she goes home.
In the past, the work at home was done by my sister to help my grandmother, but when Shi Hong was older, my sister also became a skilled worker in the embroidery workshop, and Shi Hong took over, Shi Hong did not complain, because she knew that only the more money they earned, the life of the family would get better and better, and the new clothes that I wanted to think about once in a few years in the past few years can now be thought of every year, and my sister earns more money, some of which are handed over to the family to improve their lives, and they can eat more meat, and some of them are kept by my sister herself, my sister loves to dress up, and they still have some defects in the embroidery workshop from time to time to buy, and there are many more new clothes, and some clothes are not worn for a year or two, As a result, Shi Hong's own clothes are a lot more now, and my sister's is equal to hers, and the more my sister earns, the faster she changes, the better the clothes Shi Hong wears, what a good thing this is.
However, Shi Hong pursed her lips and smiled secretly, she soon didn't point to her sister to change it before she had new clothes (sister's old clothes, as long as Shi Hong she didn't wear them and was sure that the ones given to her now were all new clothes in Shi Hong's eyes. Now the brocade workshop of the princess's mother's house (including silkworm raising, silk reeling, weaving, printing and dyeing and embroidery workshop) can all recruit little girls over ten years old, even if they don't know these at all, it doesn't matter, after recruiting in, they will follow the original female engineers inside, and those who learn well after three years can officially become workers in the brocade workshop. In the past three years, there has been no salary, but I have to eat, one meal at noon and one meal in the afternoon, which is different from the rules of the canteen where Shi Hongniang is located, there is a certain amount of tickets, and those who exceed it can buy more money, and if they save, they can also exchange for food of equivalent value and take it home. And here you are not allowed to take it home, but the bag is full!
Shi Hong was overjoyed when she heard her sister talk about this. You know, in the past, all the girls recruited here knew these things, and they had to be assessed, and only after passing the assessment would they be admitted, so many families either looked for someone they knew, or simply spent some money to ask someone to teach them to take the test. Now it's equivalent to being able to learn these for free! Save such a comparison of expenses or favors, not to mention, you can still eat enough! Do you know what the concept of eating is full! And my sister also said that the food in it is all dry! Although it is also added with corn and sweet potatoes, these coarse grains are added, but this is dry rice, and the rice at home is almost too much, and almost all of them are cooked porridge, but you can eat dry rice here, and you have a big belly, so how much do you have to eat! Therefore, the princess's mother's family is good, the family is difficult, the meal in the morning is not saved, eat enough at noon to make up, eat more in the afternoon, and the next morning will not be very hungry, if there are a few more people in the family here, how much food will be saved.
She's going to live such a good life!
And after three years, she can earn her own money, make clothes, buy jewelry, and laugh when she thinks about it, so even if it is her earliest in the morning, Shi Hong has no complaints, she has made up her mind, and when she goes, she must be more diligent and harder than her sister said, not only to follow her master to study hard, but also to help others when resting, and strive to learn more, it is best to learn all of these, my sister said, there are those who know more, who can come up with ways to improve, or who can come up with new ideas, weave new patterns, and study new stitches, and the princess's sister will reward herIt is said that last time a sister-in-law improved the loom, speeding up the weaving speed of brocade without breaking the thread, and rewarded five taels of silver!
That's a lot of clothes, a lot of hair, a lot of jewelry!
Anyway, Shi Hong believes that she will definitely not be worse than others, as long as she learns and does more, she will naturally have labor-saving skills, just like she used to only help her grandmother and sister, but now she can easily cook a family's meals by herself, and the time is getting less and less, strength or something, use it, as long as she is diligent, she believes that she can earn anything.
Of course, Shi Hong is even more envious of his younger brother, he is only ten years old, and he can actually go to the princess's mother's house to eat like her!
If this Baiyitang opened a few years earlier and could accept the little girl, she could have already mixed up and eaten, four brothers and sisters, the elder sister took the younger sister all the way, the elder brother took the younger brother is another group, they are the same place, the newly opened Baiyitang recruits students over the age of eight,—— right, this Baiyitang is not a workshop, but a school. The younger brother goes to school, and the older brother goes to work!
The students are all in school, and the school is still under construction! What's even more amazing is that the workers working inside may become students tomorrow, and the students may have another identity as workers, just so unreliable or can be said to be a puzzling place, and the students recruited have exceeded expectations. But in fact, people are still thriving!
Baiyitang is built on a mountain, quite far from the city, out of the city, at least half an hour to walk, to climb the mountain, so the school is to provide accommodation, and charge a small amount of accommodation fees, but so far, there are very few people who choose accommodation.
