Chapter 392: Eating Corn

The second watch, ask for pink.

*******

In just one day's work, even Man'er's family finished harvesting all the crops in the field. Zhang Qingshan originally wanted to help his daughter and uncle for two days, but seeing that the situation had changed, his family also had to help harvest crops and harvest fruits, so he only stayed for one night, and early the next morning, he took his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter back to Shaoguotun.

Lian Shouli then went back to work on the mountain.

Because it was the autumn harvest season, there was a farm holiday in the private school, and Gorou and Xiaoqi didn't go to school. Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing first confiscated the family's crops and came to help Lian Man'er's family. Lian Shouxin took Wulang and Xiaoqi and went to help the Wu family with two more jobs.

Xiao Qi is still young, and Gorou is not too old. This helper is the love of the two families, and no one will let the two children get tired Chapter 392 eating corn, especially Xiao Qi, who was taken care of by Wu Jiaxing very well.

Wang also called Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er to the house to help cook, and when they were eating, they also called Zhang.

When eating at Wu's house, Lian Man'er's family discussed with Wu Yugui and asked him to recommend two reliable short-term workers to help threshing and raising the field in a few days.

"It's long overdue." Wang strongly agrees with this: "Zhi'er's mother's daily work at home and in the shop is enough to be busy." Gorou and Xiaoqi, more free, don't just study. There are also branches and vines, delicate and tender two daughters, who go to the ground to do that rough work, I feel distressed when I look at it. Our family is different now than before, isn't it, and it's not that we can't afford to hire people. If people want to invite, they should invite two more, and let Zhi'er and her father save lightly. ”

"Look at my aunt, so excited," Lian Man'er sat on the kang and smiled, "Auntie, this is distressing for my sister." We are all together. ”

Both families laughed.

Wang smiled and leaned back and smiled, and gave Lian Man'er the most tender meat on a large piece of fish belly.

"Auntie no one is distressed, auntie feels sorry for you."

…………

In autumn, the climate is dry. In particular, the sun at noon shines on people's bodies, and it is even more roasting than in summer. A few days after the family harvested the autumn. It happened to be a sunny day, and Chapter 392 Eating corn is just right for drying grains.

In the evening of that day, Lian Man'er stepped on a stool and picked up a corn cob from the corn fence to check it out. The corn is already a little dry, and the kernels can be easily pulled off.

Five days later, early in the morning, Lian Man'er and his family arrived at the threshing floor. Lian Shouli, Zhao, Lian Ye'er, Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing, father and son, still rushed to help. As for Zhang Qingshan, there is no one in the Zhang family to come. One is because he is far away, and the other is because he knows that Zhang Qianhu will bring someone to help today.

Lian Shouxin carefully cleaned the threshing floor again. Wu Yugui and others set up dustpans, large baskets, small benches, straw mats, etc. on the threshing floor. Before they could finish their preparations, Zhang Qianhu arrived with someone.

This time, Zhang Qianhu came earlier than when he harvested the corn, and he brought twice as many people.

Even Man'er knew that Zhang Qianhu, or Shen Liu, meant that on this day, all the corn kernels would be beaten.

"The sixth master and the officials from the government and the county are all behind. Let's do it first. Zhang Qianhu put on a posture and said.

In Lian Man'er's previous life, there was a machine that specialized in beating corn, but here, there was no machine, and corn kernels had to be beaten. Completely by hand. In fact, in Lian Man'er's previous life, the time for mechanization was not long, and in her grandfather's generation, the corn kernels were also beaten manually, and the corn kernels were pulled down.

Knowing that there are many people working today, in addition to their own big baskets and dustpans, even Man'er's family also borrowed some from the village, a total of ten large baskets. Lian Man'er sent all the men down, and four or five people sat down around a basket. There were not enough stools and cushions, and Zhang Qianhu and these people were not particular, so they just sat on the ground.

Then they sent out men to carry the cobs from the corn sheath to the basket with a dustpan, and the big guys began to gather the corn.

The first corn is all hand-made, and the second corn has a simple method. The corn cob that has been removed from the corn kernel can be used as a helper to remove the corn kernels more easily.

The soldiers brought by Zhang Qianhu were all rough and energetic, and they worked very fast. When a certain amount of corn kernels is ready, someone uses a dustpan to collect a dustpan of corn kernels, and turns the corn kernels vigorously in the direction of the wind. This is equivalent to raising the field, that is, with the help of the power of the wind, the impurities inside, mainly the debris and corn beard that fall from the corn cob, are removed.

In this way, the remaining clean corn was put into sacks by the people brought by Zhang Qianhu.

Even Man'er's family also prepared sacks, but Zhang Qianhu was useless, he brought a lot of sacks this time, each of which was the same size, and there was a sign of soldier courage on it, which looked like a standard bag for military rations.

The sack full of corn was placed in one place by Zhang Qianhu and others.

Lian Man'er saw these in her eyes, she rubbed her palm, which was a little red because of the corn, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her eyes. She had a hunch that these corns would soon leave her. And she was still happy and couldn't stop her.

When it was almost time to eat at noon, Zhang Qianhu offered to bring their own dry food, as long as Lian Man'er's family helped them prepare some hot water to drink.

Zhang Qianhu and his subordinates left the big basket, lined up in the open space next to them, sat down one by one, and then took out dry food from their pockets and prepared to eat.

In this posture, Lian Man'er's family had to prepare a meal, so that the big guy had to give up. Moreover, even with their own families, the food is too rich, and they have to work in a hurry.

Zhang Qianhu said that hot water is enough for dry food, and even Man'er's family naturally doesn't really only prepare hot water. Zhang took people to boil two large pots of thick shredded pickle broth, and used the bucket of porridge and soup in the shop to bring it to Zhang Qianhu.

Zhang Qianhu and others were naturally grateful.

Even Man'er's own lunch is also frugal, that is, the steamed buns of Sanhe noodles, the broth, and the dish only has a simple dipping pickle, which is dried tofu and green onions.

After a hurried lunch, the big guy went back to work on the threshing floor.

At the beginning of the moment, Shen Liu, who had been saying that he was coming, was finally late.

That doesn't seem right. Although Shen Liu appeared much later than Lian Man'er's estimated hour, his appearance could not be described as "late".

The speed of the pair of carriages and horses was only slightly slower than that of Zhang Qianhu's fast horses. And this is slower, it should still be to take care of the group of officials who follow behind him. After all, in Liaodong Mansion. It is impossible for any one to have faster and better horses and carts than the former general and the general army of Shen Da.

Shen Liu got out of the car, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Get up." Shen Liu stood there and glanced around. Cai waved his hand casually and said.

Someone moved the table and chairs and asked Shen Liu to sit down. As for the officials of Liaodong Mansion and Jinyang County, they can only stand around.

Only Lord Li and another middle-aged civil official, someone moved a stool and let them sit under Shen Liu.

Lian Man'er stood in the crowd and looked at Shen Liu. Than the last time we met. Shen Liu's face seemed to be a little thinner, it seemed that he had been really busy recently, but his spirit seemed to be better.

Today's Shen Liu wore a royal blue brocade tuanhuā robe, with black hair wrapped in a brocade crown and a jade belt around his waist. Even the vines are far away, and they can feel the clarity and softness of the jasper.

"All the corn is here?" Shen Liu's gaze swept quickly across the crowd and asked.

"Back to the sixth master, yes." Even Shouxin and Zhang Qianhu replied one after the other.

Shen Liu nodded.

"Alright, let's get on with it."

And they returned to their place, and they continued to gather corn.

There was a coachman who drove Shen Liu's carriage out, and behind the carriage, there were two horses tied to him. One was white, without any stray hair, and the other was cyan, slightly shorter than the white horse, but fatter and stronger, than all the horses around. One horse counts as another, and it must be fat.

For these two horses, Lian Man'er has an impression. The white one should be Shen Liu's mount, and the cyan fat horse seems to have been ridden by Shen Xiaopang?

Shen Xiaopang also came, why didn't he see him?

Lian Man'er was thinking about it when she saw the curtain of Shen Liu's car move, and a round bun face poked out of it.

Shen Xiaopang's eyes were slender, but this did not affect his eyes. It can be said that his eyes are even better than the average person. In a moment, he saw Lian Man'er at a glance.

Shen Qian hurriedly waved his hand at Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er held the corn in his hand, lifted it slightly, and put it back again. Sure enough, this little fat tail is where Shen Liu goes, and he follows him.

A little guy rushed to the carriage, Shen Qian said a few words to the little guy, the little guy shook his head at first, and then seemed to be helpless, but he still hugged the little fat man off the car.

Shen Qian got out of the car, left the little guy behind, and ran to Shen Liu.

Shen Liu raised his hand and touched Shen Qian's head, and beckoned to the side, and someone moved a stool and hugged Shen Qian to sit.

Lian Man'er was eating corn, she thought to herself, what is the meaning of these people just looking at it, why don't they want to try it themselves?

To Lian Man'er's disappointment, no one seemed to want to try.

They were eating corn over here, and someone over there had already brought a large scale over there and began to weigh the corn.

Lian Man'er thought about it, and whispered a few words to Goro beside her. Gorou stood up, walked up to Shen Liu, and whispered a few words.

Shen Liu nodded.

Gorou beckoned Wu Jiaxing, and the two of them carried a bag of corn that was not in good condition and could not be kept as seeds, caught up with the car, left the threshing floor, and went straight to the mill in the town.

This is what their family discussed, after all, everyone has only eaten boiled tender corn, and everyone still doesn't know what this fully ripe corn tastes like. While Shen Liu and these people are here, they will grind out some cornmeal, make some corn tortillas, and give the big guy a taste.

Lian Man'er eagerly hopes that Gorou will come back soon, because she is hungry for tortillas.
