"Where's the movement?" A room full of people woke up.
"Outside the window." Lian Man'er pointed to the guide window.
Outside the south window is freshly made wine. Thirty miles of camp can be said to be a simple village, although I dare not say that the road is not picked up and the house is not closed at night, but petty theft is rare, especially can touch into the middle family with walls and gates like Lianjia to steal, it is even rarer.
Lian Shouxin put on his clothes and got off the kang without saying a word, picked up the door plug and ran out, and even Man'er hurriedly followed.
The vegetable garden under the west wing is surrounded by a low wall, because there are chickens in the yard, and I am afraid that the chickens will spoil the vegetables in the vegetable garden, so I added mud to the low wall of the dry tobacco bag in Chapter 59, and inserted a sorghum stalk more than a foot high on it, so that it is not only convenient for the beans and cucumbers planted on the wall to climb up, but also makes the big rooster who jumps the tallest cannot enter the garden. Of course, it also makes it impossible to climb over the wall.
There is a small door under the window of the west wing, which is the only entrance to this vegetable garden.
At the end of the evening, the little door was closed, but now it is open. Lian Shouxin approached the door, but he stepped on it without knowing it, making a crisp sound. There was a clanging sound in the garden, and then a dark figure tried to climb over the wall to get out of the garden, but was tripped by the sorghum stalks and vines on the low wall.
Lian Shouxin hurriedly ran and lifted the man up.
"Shiro? Why are you? Through the faint moonlight, Lian Shouxin saw clearly that the person he caught was Shiro in the second room.
"Fourth uncle, I'm just out to pee." Shiro struggles in the hands of Lian Shouxin.
These words can't fool even the faithful.
"It's not good where you pee, what kind of garden do you go into. When you hear someone coming, you still jump over the wall and run? I'm still a thief. ”
Lian Man'er carried the oil lamp, hurriedly walked into the vegetable garden, carefully inspected the wine jar on the place, and saw the lid of the fifty-ninth chapter dry tobacco pouch of the wine jar on the edge fell to the ground, and she immediately understood what was going on.
"Dad, an altar has been opened." Lian Man'er came out and kept his faith to Lian.
"Shiro, what did you do?" Lian Shouxin shouted and asked.
There was such a big movement in the courtyard that the oil lamp was lit in the upper landlord's house, but there was silence in the upper room in the west room and the east wing.
"Fourth uncle, I didn't do anything, I just took a look."
"You haven't seen enough during the day. I really want to see it, why don't you tell us to see it during the day, and you sneak in in the middle of the night, what do you want to do? Lian Man'er asked.
"I'm just going to see." Shiro said with his head drooping.
Lian Shouxin looked at a little candle flame in the upper room, and then looked at the east wing, where there was no movement at all, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Shiro, your fourth uncle, I still expect that the money in these jars can be exchanged for some money to live. Our rural people hate it the most. You can listen well, there will be a next time, don't blame the fourth uncle for turning his face with you when the time comes. Lian Shouxin let go of Shiro.
Back in the house, everyone couldn't sleep.
"Second uncle, what are they trying to do?" Lian Man'er was annoyed.
"Maybe it's just a half-grown naughty and curious ......" Lian Shouxin said, but he couldn't hear it, and he didn't say much.
"It's all about his family, and he can't do too much. At night we all sleep on our guard, and during the day I am at home, leave the windows open, and never let people touch the jars. Zhang said.
Early the next morning, even the old man called the laborers of the previous family to go to work in the fields. Although all the grain has been harvested, there are still some soybean seedlings in the field, and these must also be transported, which can be used as fodder and firewood.
Lian Man'er thought about last night's incident and felt that this kind of thing had to be solved from the root. In the Lian family, there is only one person who has the prestige to solve this problem.
Lian Man'er walked to the upper room, and Zhou and Lian Xiu'er went to the back garden to pick vegetables, but there was no one in the house. There are two dry tobacco pouches on the windowsill of the kang head, which was interrupted by the old man Lian Shouren that time, and since then, they have been placed on the windowsill. Lian Man'er Actually, the old man Lian doesn't like to smoke dry tobacco, he prefers to smoke dry tobacco pouches. But no, he refused to buy a new one.
Lian Man'er climbed onto the kang, picked up two dry tobacco pouches from the windowsill and checked them in his hand, which was quite weighty, and it seemed to be copper. Lian Man'er picked up the dry tobacco pouch and came out of the upper room.
"Mother, I'll go to town in a while, what do you want to buy?" Lian Man'er discussed with Zhang.
Yesterday, Lian Man'er had already bought five catties of soybean oil, a jar of salt, and some daily bits and pieces. Lian Shouxin also moved a bag of millet and a bag of millet noodles from the upper room, which were their rations for this month.
"Man'er, you bought soybean oil yesterday, and we don't have meat oil yet. You go to the butcher shop to have a look, there is a plate oil to buy a fan, we are good at fuel consumption. Zhang thought about it and said.
"Okay." Lian Man'er went to the kang cabinet to withdraw the money, and asked Xiao Qi, "Xiao Qi, are you at home with your mother, or do you accompany your sister to the town?" ”
Xiao Qi's big eyes purred, he actually wanted to go to the town with Lian Man'er, but the task assigned to him was to accompany the Zhang family.
"Mother, or I'...... I'll be at home with you. Xiao Qi said to Zhang, but a pair of big eyes clearly flashed with a light of pleading.
How can Zhang not see it.
"You go with your sister, don't run around, early." Zhang's instructed Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi cheered, carried the basket and came out of the house with Lian Man'er.
When he came to the town, Lian Man'er went to Zhao Ji's coppersmith shop first.
"Sister, what are we doing here?" Xiao Qi asked.
Lian Man'er took out the two dry tobacco sticks, handed them to Zhao Coppersmith, and asked him if he could re-weld the two dry tobacco sticks.
Coppersmith Zhao took the dry tobacco stick and looked at it, then nodded and said okay.
"This is what I have always done. It's not very good to weld, whether to add another copper hoop, that is, to ask for a few more pennies. ”
"Okay, this is my master's baby, you must get it right, otherwise, I will look for you." Lian Man'er and Zhao Coppersmith negotiated the price and said.
“,。” Zhao Coppersmith said, "The little girl is quite powerful. ”
"I'll hand over this dry tobacco bag to you for welding, let's go buy something else first, and get it later." Lian Man'er said.
"No problem, I'll get it for you." Coppersmith Zhao agreed.
Lian Man'er came out of Zhao Ji's coppersmith shop, and came to the largest grocery store in the town, picked the best sugar, and bought five catties of white sugar, each catty was fifteen yuan. Then I went to another store and bought three catties. In this way, several grocery stores walked around, and bought a total of 20 catties of sugar, spending a total of 300 yuan.
Sugar is a key step in making wine. Wine can be made without sugar, but the alcohol content is not high, so it is very easy to spoil and become sour. With the addition of sugar, the alcohol content of the wine can be increased, and a real dry red wine is made. Such wines, if properly stored, can be stored for two to three years, and the wine tastes better.
After buying the sugar, it was divided into two baskets, Lian Man'er carried one, and Xiao Qi carried one.
"Sister, you didn't say you wanted to buy meat." Xiao Qi reminded Lian Man'er.
"Don't worry, sister hasn't forgotten." Lian Man'er smiled.
Lian Man'er walked into the butcher shop and saw a freshly killed half of the pork on the meat case, the meat was beautiful, and the thickest part of the fat was three fingers thick. Such pigs have a lot of oil, a lot of oil, and they are fragrant.
"Uncle Zhang, do you have plate oil and don't skip words. Lian Man'er asked.
"Lian San girl, you are a coincidence, isn't there a door." Butcher Zhang took a fan of oil from the meat case in the back.
The plate oil is the thick layer of fat in the pig's belly, and the oil boiled out is called meat oil. Soybean oil is also precious in ordinary rural people, and what rural people usually eat is meat oil. Some people buy a fan of oil every year, boil out the oil, and usually put a spoonful when cooking, which can be eaten for a year.
Lianjia has both meat oil and soybean oil, and it is also a lot of meat oil.
"Are there any meat bones?" Lian Man'er turned over the oil and saw that it was clean, so he asked again.
"Yes." As he spoke, Butcher Zhang bent down and picked out two pork leg bones and a pork backbone from a large wicker basket under the meat case. "If you buy this plate of oil, these bones will be sold to you cheaply."
"Sister, after boiling the oil, let's use the oil shuttle to make pies and eat." Xiao Qi is like Lian Man'er suggested.
Lian Man'er looked down at Xiao Qi, and then thought of Lian Zhi'er and Goro's thin little bodies, so she nodded.
"It's not delicious to use oil shuttle alone, let's buy some more meat." Lian Man'er said.
"Oil shuttle is enough, no need to buy meat." Xiao Qi is very sensible and authentic.
"Let's not buy more, just buy a catty." Lian Man'er said.
Lian Man'er once calculated in her heart that in the next year, the rations would already be available. She has the money saved by selling the bitter girl in her hand, and yesterday the Li family left a hanging of money, and the other two pieces of silver are almost two taels each, which adds up to five taels of silver. When the wine is sold and the land is purchased, then next year will be more generous.
Zhang's wants to replenish his body, even trustworthiness is the main labor, and he has to eat something good, and several of them are also growing up, so the nutrition that should be increased cannot be ambiguous.
Lian Man'er asked Butcher Zhang to weigh a pound of back meat.
The plate oil is weighed, there are eleven catties hanging zero, which is counted as eleven catties, each catty is 14 yuan, it is 154 yuan, and the three big bones have five and a half catties, each catty is ten yuan, it is no fifteen yuan, plus one pound of back meat, 20 yuan per catty, a total of 229 yuan.
"Add another penny, make up three hundred wen." Butcher Zhang cut another piece of meat and threw it into the scale, which was more than one or two.
Lian Man'er agreed, and counted out three hundred dollars to give to Butcher Zhang. Butcher Zhang wrapped the bones, oil and meat separately with several large leaves, and put them into Lian Man'er's basket.
Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi carried the basket and walked back to Zhao Ji's coppersmith's shop, Zhao coppersmith had already repaired the dry tobacco bag, Lian Man'er looked at it, the broken part of the dry tobacco bag was welded, and a copper hoop was added, and the polishing was very smooth. The Zhao coppersmith took a thin copper wire and put it into the cigarette holder, which went straight to the cigarette pouch and pot, indicating that there was no problem inside.
"Even the third girl, I also cleaned the oil stains of the cigarette pouch for you." Zhao coppersmith said.
Lian Man'er smiled, people who do business in this era do not have the slogan that customers are God, but the attitude of businessmen who can survive towards customers, as well as the sense of service, are even more like a spring breeze.
According to the negotiated price, Lian Man'er added another penny, counted a total of fifteen pennies to Zhao Coppersmith, and walked back from the town with Xiao Qi. Because they bought more, the two sisters and brothers stopped and stopped, and they all walked and sweated before returning home.
Even Man'er put away the bought, went to the vegetable garden, opened the jar, and the grapes in it had already begun to ferment. Now there are no people in the house, and those who stay at home are afraid of the heat, so they are hiding in the house. Lian Man'er divided the sugar evenly into several portions, and added one to each jar.
In order to give the wine more layers of flavor, Lian Man'er plans to add sugar several times. This is the first time, and there will be a second time in the future.
When Lian Man'er finished this, it was almost noon, and the people who went to work in the fields began one after another.
Lian Man'er handed over the meat, bones and oil to Lian Zhi'er for her to deal with, and went up to the room to find Old Man Lian.
Lian Xiu'er was lighting a fire in the outhouse, and when she saw Lian Man'er coming, she was a little angry.
"What are you doing here?" Lian Xiu'er asked with a glare.
"I'll come and see my grandfather." As Lian Man'er spoke, she went straight into the house.
"Master." Lian Man'er screamed sweetly when she entered the door.
"Man'er is here." Old man Lian was sitting on the kang and rolling dry smoke, and when he saw Lian Man'er coming, he answered.
"Master, look at what this is." Lian Man'er handed the welded dry tobacco bag to Old Man Lian.
Old Man Lian saw the cigarette pouch in Lian Man'er's hand, and turned around to look at the windowsill.
"Is this my dry tobacco pouch?" Even the old man put down the cigarette in his hand and took the dry tobacco pouch. Not only was the dry tobacco pouch re-welded, but the oil stains on the inside and outside of the tobacco pouch were also scrubbed clean, and the yellow-orange ones looked like new.
"Master, I see that you are not used to smoking dry tobacco, so it is better to smoke this dry tobacco bag." Lian Man'er said.
"You went to fix it?" Even the old man said.
"yes. I, my grandfather loves to smoke dry cigarettes, and my grandfather also loves to drink. When the wine is made, the first one is for the master to drink. Lian Man'er said.
"Good boy." Even the old man touched the dry tobacco bag and said.
Zhou came in from outside, and Lian Man'er came out of the house with a smile.
"Hey, this dry tobacco pouch has been repaired?" Zhou saw the dry tobacco pouch in the old man's hand.
"Yes, Man'er, this kid has a heart." Even the old man said. This dry tobacco pouch has been with him for nearly half his life, and he is not used to smoking paper rolls of dry tobacco. Both of these things should be the same for everyone in the family. But his dry tobacco bag had been broken for so long that no one in the family thought of repairing it, and no one wanted to buy him another one. In the end, even Man'er was a child and repaired the dry tobacco pouch to him.
Even the old man filled a bag of dry tobacco and smoked it slowly.
"She has a heart, and she has a lot of eyes on it." Zhou muttered dissatisfiedly.
Even the old man held the dry tobacco pouch in his hand, paused, and suddenly smiled.
"Go and call me the old 2, the old 2, and those boys." Even the old man said to Zhou.
