Chapter 23: Qingming

In the evening, eating the good dishes made by Lin Wenshan, the family talked and laughed, Lin Ziqing felt that today's dishes tasted special, she ate two large bowls of rice alone, and her small stomach was a little supportive. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info She took Lin Zitian's small bowl and began to feed Lin Zitian with a soup spoon.

"I didn't expect that this batch of dry goods could be sold at once, and the harvest was so big!" Lin Wenshan took a sip of wine with emotion, and said excitedly with a red face

"Yes! We used to get up early and be greedy for darkness, and we could earn up to 20 yuan a day, and we were still half tired to death! I knew that we would simply not farm, it seems that we still have to do a large amount of business, and we used to set up a stall to sell a few snacks, how can we make money so quickly...... This time it really relied on Qingqing's idea, and after Qingqing injured her head last time, I was still scared. ā€

Tan Liyun thought about her daughter, and then thought that she used to work hard every day to take her son out of the stall, it was really a handful of sour tears, and tears flowed out as she spoke.

"Hey! What are you crying about? As the old saying goes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing after the disaster, Qingqing This is the beginning of the blessing, I see, our two children are smart, and our blessing is still behind in the future! Lin Wenshan hurriedly comforted his wife, "In the future, I will go to the city to sell goods, you will take care of the two little ones at home to study hard, you are a woman who is always working hard outside, if our family can provide two college students, there will be many good days in the future!" ā€

"Ahh Can you go to the city alone to sell goods? Besides, the family has just raised seedlings, and the work in the field, have you thought about it? Who will help plant the fields in the future? You think so well, your heart is wide! Tan Liyun was comforted by her husband and felt a little more comfortable, but new problems also came.

"Well, I think I'm still cooperating with the third sister-in-law, and then call that kid Jianming. This kid has no hope of studying, but he is really honest and obedient when asked to do work. As for the fields, we can either rent them out and collect some rations enough for us to eat every year, and besides, the family doesn't raise pigs now. But if you're really at home with a baby, I'll go to the market to catch a piglet. ā€œ

"Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you." After taking care of her younger brother and eating, Lin Ziqing spoke to them.

"Qingqing, what's the matter with you again, do you have any new ideas?" Tan Liyun was anxious to make money and hurriedly asked.

"Mom, don't worry! I'm talking about your dry goods! I think let's not collect it all in the town just yet. ā€

"Then go to the city to collect it? Is it cheaper in the town? Why didn't you take it in town. ā€

"Since you are going to do business in the city, sooner or later you will have to buy a large number of them, just collect the town, and those who have a heart will raise the price for you, and if the business is done, the town will be so big, and some people will see it, which will inevitably cause the jealousy of others."

"That's it!"

Lin Wenshan nodded when he heard this, this person's heart is unpredictable, everyone is used to living a hard life, and there is no one person who has a good life, is it a bit of that......

"Also, Mom and Dad, you can call a few cousins to help pack all the dry goods first on the weekend, there are many people, and it won't take a day to finish it, and it doesn't take several days. When the time comes, give a few cousins some pocket money and eat at home.

"Is that okay? Will a few of my brother's family have an opinion? Tan Liyun was a little worried, but she had to admit that her daughter was really reasonable.

After all, their family is small in number, and they really don't know where to find a reliable helper. And now it's almost time to get busy with farming, and the adults at home are busy with the work in the field, so how can there be that idle time to help with packaging.

In this way, it is a good idea of the daughter, and the nieces are still in the fourth or fifth grade of primary school, and they don't have too much homework on the weekends, so they have nothing to do, and they are idle. If you can come to help exchange pocket money, you must be willing, even if you add dozens of dollars to the family, adults will not blame.

"Mom and Dad, do you think this idea is good?"

"Good, good! Then I'll ask tomorrow. Tan Liyun pinched her daughter's upturned little nose and quipped.

The next day, Lin Wenshan discussed the matter with the third brother's family, and Lin Wennan quickly agreed. As for Lin Wenshan's family's five acres of land, he discussed it with the Li family in the courtyard and rented it to their family to plant.

Just give 800 catties of grain a year, Lin Wenshan's fields are basically good fields at the foot of the mountain, and there is an acre of vegetable land near the river. It is all good land to plant, and the Li family immediately made a decision.

In the blink of an eye, it is the Qingming Festival, and the custom in the ancient town is that only the men of the family are allowed to go with their daughters-in-law to sweep the tombs during the Qingming Festival, and the daughters and granddaughters are not allowed to go. Early in the morning, Lin Wenshan followed Lin Desen to the mountain to sweep the tomb, and Tan Lirong and a few concubines were busy preparing lunch.

The little chubby Wang Xiaoqiu in the courtyard came over and said to Lin Ziqing in a milky voice, "Sister Qingqing, why don't we girls let us go to sweep the tomb, if only I were a boy, I can follow them to the mountain to sweep the tomb!" ā€

Lin Ziqing asked her a little strangely, "Why do you want to become a boy, it's not fun to sweep the tomb, and you have to climb the mountain!" ā€

"I brought a lot of delicious food to the tomb sweeping today, if I go to sweep the tomb, I can eat delicious food after sweeping!" Wang Xiaoqiu said dissatisfiedly with his fat cheeks.

Lin Ziqing couldn't help pinching her little face, "If you don't go to the mountain, there will be delicious food, and when they come back from sweeping the tomb, they will make Qingming fruit, and then you will have some to eat, nay, I have peanuts in my pocket, give you some!" ā€

The tomb sweeper came back in the morning, and Lin Wennan began to shout that he was going to fight Qingming Guo.

Lin Wennan has a big wooden retort at home, put the japonica rice and a little glutinous rice that have been soaked all night into it, boil a pot of water in the cauldron, spread a shelf on it, put the wooden retort on the shelf, burn a high fire in the stove and steam it, and when it is almost steamed, it has to be inserted a few times with two-foot-long chopsticks to ventilate.

When it was steamed, Lin Wennan and Lin Wenshan carried it to the stone mortar placed in the courtyard of the patio, and Lin Wenjun waited there with two half-meter-long hammers made of wood.

Lin Wenshan scooped a spoonful of rice into the stone mortar, and the three adults began to beat it. It takes strength to fight Qingmingguo, and it is also a technical job, and the three of them must also have a tacit understanding.

They are laid out and placed in a large flat bamboo frame that has been coated with some oil on the side.

Then it was brought to the round table in the hall, where several people were already standing and waiting, and everyone, with a little cold water stuck to their hands, began to knead them into flat balls one by one with their hands and put them in a big bamboo steamer.

Qingming fruit, steamed soft, can be dipped in sugar to eat, can also be put into the braised meat soup to eat, can also be made into a pancake like a dumpling to eat. However, it may be made of japonica rice, which is easy to swell the stomach, and children will be full after eating three or four.

Lunch is ready, and the dishes I cooked today are all with some soup. In order to eat it with Qingming fruit. Everyone sat in their seats and got ready for a delicious meal.
