Chapter 108 Drying

Fee Chapter (12 points)

If there is no sunlight on a cloudy day, it is impossible to dry the remaining fifty catties of garlic peanuts, so that the agreement with the Wu shopkeeper cannot be completed. When Lian Man'er walked to the yard, she felt that the air was wet. She subconsciously stretched out her hand, and as a result, small droplets of water fell on her palm.

It's raining.

The rain was not heavy, but it was not clear in a moment or a half.

Lian Man'er walked back into the house and looked at the peanuts that had not yet dried in a few baskets, this can be done.

"Or, put it in an iron pot and fry it again." Lian Shouxin suggested.

Lian Man'er shook her head. Boiled peanuts are fried in an iron pot, not only can not fry dry the water, but also destroy all the skin of the peanuts, and then they will not be able to sell. Chapter 108 Drying

"Can that be done?" The family put forward several suggestions one after another, but they were all rejected by Lian Man'er because they were not feasible. Everyone is also worried, if they can't hand over 200 catties of garlic peanuts on time today, according to the agreement, they will admit punishment. No, will the treasurer punish them, will he fine them a lot of silver? Half of the money they made from selling garlic peanuts was used to improve their living conditions, and the money they saved was not much, so they could only take out the money they earned from selling the bitter girl, and in addition, there was the silver that Shen Liu gave them.

Lian Man'er was still a child after all, and she only thought that she could make a sum of money, but she didn't expect such a sudden situation. Zhang wanted to open his mouth to say a few words about Lian Man'er, but as soon as he saw Lian Man'er frowning, he swallowed the reproach again.

This family should be maintained by her and Lian Shouxin in charge of making money. Lian Man'er is a child, and things like making money shouldn't have been something she should have to worry about. If it weren't for the fact that the family was too poor, where would Lian Man'er use such a desperate idea to make money. Lian Man'er has done a good job, and she, a mother, can still blame her at this time and make things worse for her. And blaming Lian Man'er at this time didn't help anything with things. It's better to wait for the incident to pass, find a chance to dry Chapter 108, and have a good talk with Lian Man'er, so that she can remember the lesson of this time, and be cautious in doing things in the future.

Thinking like this, Zhang glanced at Lian Shouxin. Even Shouxin was worried, but he didn't mean to blame Lian Man'er.

"There's still half a day to go, let's try to think of ideas. It's really not good, let's send the finished peanuts, your father and I will go, and if he wants to punish the martial arts shopkeeper, let him punish him. He can't deviate from the big picture. It's me and your father. Zhang said.

"Yes." Lian Shouxin nodded in agreement.

Lian Man'er raised her head, and her heart was a little moved and happy. Although Lian Shouxin and Zhang's buns, they also have many merits in terms of doing things. There are many people, when faced with difficulties, the first thing that comes to mind is not how to solve it, but complaining and blaming each other. This is not the case with Lian Shouxin and Zhang, who have a more positive and positive attitude.

For example, in this case, they are likely to lose money, which is a great blow to an already poor family. If she were to be another parent, she would probably scold her, saying that she caused it. But Zhang and Lian Shouxin did not. They didn't even complain, but comforted her, showing that their parents would come forward and take responsibility.

It is precisely because of the character of Zhang and Lian Shouxin that they don't even have the temperament of the children in the fourth room, they treat people generously and politely, and they are very friendly and friendly to each other.

"Dad, mother, I thought of a way." Lian Man'er said in her heart.

"What a way?" The whole family looked at Lian Man'er.

The last drying process of making garlic peanuts is completed by equipment such as dryers in mass production. There is no condition to manufacture dryers here, and even the production scale of Man'er is smaller than a small workshop, so the method of sun drying is adopted.

Now that there is no daylight to use, and a dryer is not possible, is it possible to dry it in a different way? The answer is yes.

Every family in the camp of 30 miles sleeps on a clay kang, which is a kang that is made of clay and then built up with adobe. There is a flue left in each of these clay kangs, one end of which leads through the wall to the large stove in the outhouse, and the other end leads directly to the flue in the other wall. The flue in the wall is straight up, leading to the chimney on the roof. In winter, everyone mainly relies on burning the big stove outside, and through this flue, the kang is warmed to keep warm.

They built another stove outside yesterday to cook peanuts, in addition to the fear that the stove in the house would not be enough, but also because they were afraid that the stove would burn too much, and this weather, the kang would be too hot to live in.

Lian Man'er walked to the kang edge of the kang and stretched out his hand to open the kang mat. On the adobe kang under the kang mat, there is a large piece of straw paper, on which are neatly placed a dozen red peppers. These peppers are still full of moisture when they are picked, and they are still full of water when they are picked, and they love to eat chili sauce, and they think that the chili peppers are too slow to dry outside, so they put the chili peppers here and dry them on a hot soil kang.

"Dad, you put this chili yesterday, and now it's dry, and it can grind the fried chili sauce." Lian Man'er picked up a red pepper and said.

"yes." Lian Shouxin replied, but he didn't understand for a while that Lian Man'er suddenly said this.

"Ah, peanuts can be dried like this, can't they?" Xiao Qi suddenly jumped away. He is young, his brain is smart, and he is not bound by so many rules and regulations, and he was inspired by Lian Man'er, and the first thing he thought of was the method of drying peanuts with a clay kang.

Lian Man'er touched Xiao Qi's head, with a smile in her eyes.

As soon as Xiao Qi said this, the big guy's brain also turned around.

"That's a real idea." Lian Shouxin smiled.

"We only have half a day's work, and we have to dry fifty catties of peanuts, I'm afraid we will have to burn a fire." Lian Man'er said.

"Chai He, we have it." Zhang said.

Even the old man is a diligent and thrifty person, and a single grass in the field has to be received from the family. Those sorghum stalks, peanut stalks, soybean stalks, millet stalks, as well as sorghum stubbles and millet stubbles, can be used as firewood when they are dried. After the autumn harvest, he would go to the nearby mountains every day to pick up branches, or simply cut some branches to dry, so that the family would have enough firewood in the winter and the children would not be freezing.

found a way, and the family immediately took action. Lian Shouxin and Wulang went to hold firewood and burn the fire, Zhang and Lian Zhi'er lifted the kang mat on the kang head, and Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi found straw paper and thin straw mats to spread on the adobe kang, and then spread the wet peanuts evenly.

A fire burned in the stove outside, and soon the kang became hot, and the water vapor on the wet peanuts began to slowly evaporate.

"Our stove and kang are all given by your third uncle, and they can be heated up by lighting a fire, and it will be good in winter." Your three uncles are more beautiful than your father. Zhang said.

Lian Man'er nodded, as it is, as long as the fire is enough, these fifty catties of peanuts can be dried soon.

"Mother, Dad said that boiling water is too wasteful of firewood, why don't we cook something." Gorou poked his head in from the outhouse and asked.

"Boil a pot of water first, enough for us to drink for a day." Zhang said.

"Put some sugar, let's drink white sugar water." Lian Man'er said. Their current diet is based on coarse grains and vegetables, and they are all natural and organic food, and they are busy working inside and outside the house every day, so they don't have to worry about blood lipids and blood sugar problems at all, and they can eat sugar and meat with confidence, and Lian Man'er is very happy.

"Man'er, didn't you buy bones yesterday, let's stew them later." Lian Zhi'er reminded.

"I'm going to pluck turnips." Xiao Qi said.

"Dot." Zhang looked at Xiao Qi's eager look, her little face seemed to be round a lot recently, "It's raining outside, you put on a little and slide down." ”

"I'll go too." Lian Man'er saw that it was no problem for peanuts to be dried, and her heart suddenly relaxed, so she started to play.

"Go ahead, order it all." Zhang smiled.

Lian Man'er ran to the outhouse, opened the door and looked outside, the rain was not heavy, but when he went out like this, his hair and clothes would still get wet, and now the weather was cold again, and it would be difficult to catch a cold when the time came.

You really have to put on a little bit of it. But they don't have umbrellas or raincoats, only straw hats to shade the sun in summer. This can be done.

"Man'er, Xiaoqi, come and put on this." Gorou stood up, took down a clean sack from the utility shelf behind the water tank, grabbed the two corners at the bottom of the sack, put them together, and shook the sack smoothly. In this way, the sack became a conical hat with a long strip draped underneath. Gorou put this conical hat on Lian Man'er's head, a sack about one meter long, completely covering Lian Man'er's head and most of his body.

Lian Man'er touched the simple sack "raincoat" on her body, should she praise the wisdom of the working people.

Soon Xiao Qi also put on a sack raincoat. The tapered hat was pointy, and the sack pieces draped down casually had a bit of bohemian style, and if the face was covered with a piece of cloth, this image seemed a little familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

Xiao Qi had already jumped and laughed and ran out, and deliberately stretched out his hand to catch the rain. Even Man'er jumped into the rain before her brain cleared up, smirking like Xiao Qi.

"Stop playing, you two." Lian Zhi'er chased him out, stood at the door, looked at Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi and scolded with a smile, "Go and come back quickly, don't catch a cold." "Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, Zhang's Xiaoqi and Lian Man'er definitely wanted to play in the rain, so they asked Lian Zhi'er to come out and tell them.

"Oh." Lian Man'er replied in a daze, this childish behavior must be because Xiao Qi always clings to her, and she was assimilated by Xiao Qi.

Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi ran to the backyard, plucked three white radishes on the vegetable stalks, ran again, washed the radishes, cut them into large pieces, and put them in bone broth to boil together.

By the time the pot of bone broth boiled thickly, the peanuts on the kang in the house were almost dry. The family hurriedly set up the table, had lunch, and then put the peanuts into bags, loaded them onto a flatbed truck, covered it with a straw curtain to protect from the rain, and Lian Shouxin pushed the cart, and Lian Man'er, Wulang, and Xiaoqi went to the town together.

I remember when I was a child, I deliberately ran outside on a rainy day. Children love to play in the water, no. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
