Chapter 481: Mules and Horses Thrive

The second is to ask for pink...... The cake pasted by Zhang's is round in shape, uniform in size, and moderate in thickness. Among the several daughters-in-law of the Lian family, when it comes to cooking, they are really the most capable of the Zhang family. There are the most capable, and of course there are the worst. For example, now, Lian Man'er looked at the cakes posted by Zhang's and thought of He's.

When there was no separation in the past, it was He's turn to cook and paste cakes, and several children were looking forward to it, because there were jokes every time. Ho's cake is pasted, and the shape is quite abstract, and it is almost everything. In Zhou's words, it is "the eight forks of the branch".

Generally, when pasting cakes, pot rings made of sorghum straw should be placed around the iron pot to prevent the cakes from slipping down the walls of the pot. Good craftsmanship instructs, don't use this pot ring at all. The poor craftsmanship is to use the pot Chapter 481 Mule and Horse Prosperity Circle, and the cake still slipped into the bottom of the pot.

Naturally, the cake was not pasted properly, and the taste of the stew at the bottom of the pot was ruined.

Zhang's pasted a pot of cakes, covered the pot, continued to burn the fire at the bottom of the stove, and then boiled the pot, and then there was no need to burn. Using the embers at the bottom of the pot to warm it for another quarter of an hour, this pot is fully prepared with the staple dishes and soup...... On the lunch table, in addition to a pot of kelp stewed tofu, there is also a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks and a plate of melon seeds. Zhang cooked a few salted duck eggs for a few children.

When the hot cornmeal and elm money cakes were served, Lian Man'er couldn't help but take a deep breath. The golden cornmeal, the green elm money, makes this cake very good-looking, the aroma of the cornmeal and the sweet fragrance of the elm money, it is simply hot and fragrant, which makes people move their fingers.

Lian Man'er took a cake and took a bite. The texture of the cornmeal elm money cake is slightly rough, but this does not affect its aroma.

Zhang knocked a few salted duck eggs in a row, and put the oily ones in front of a few children and Lian Shouxin. She kept one of the smallest, worst for herself.

This is the case with almost every housewife in a farm. At the dinner table, give the best meals to the men and children, and eat only the worst Chapter 481 mules and horses thriving, or leftovers from the previous meal.

Lian Man'er didn't rush to eat salted duck eggs, nor did she go to pick up vegetables, but took another small bowl. Pick up a large piece of the whole melon seeds from the plate and put it in a small bowl.

The seeds of this melon seed should be read lightly, it is not the melon seed of watermelon seeds and sunflower seeds, but pickle gnocchi. That is, the mustard gnocchi is put into the vat. Marinated overnight.

At this time, the fresh vegetables have not come down, and the cabbage, sauerkraut, potatoes, dried vegetables, etc. that have survived the winter have disappeared.

This so-called gone, it does not necessarily mean that there are not enough cabbage and sauerkraut left until this time, but that the season has arrived. These things can no longer be stored, and even if they are there, they cannot be eaten. The same is true for gluttony, as soon as spring is opened, there are still glutinous dumplings at home, which are generally moldy and can no longer be eaten.

Even Man'er's house has a cellar, and some cabbage, potatoes, and dried vegetables are also preserved. But they still cooked a jar of pickles and melon seeds according to the habits of the past years.

After pickles and melon seeds are cooked, they are dried in the sun, which can generally be used for people to survive the stage of green and yellow until fresh fruits and vegetables come down.

The pickles and melon seeds that have been cooked and dried are so salty and fragrant that some of the children of the Zhuang family even don't eat and love to eat these things. Of course, you will inevitably have to drink a few more bowls of water afterwards.

Cooked melon seeds. The original astringency of mustard gnocchi is completely gone. The fibers are also melted, and they are gently pressed. not into puree. Drizzling a little sesame oil on top of it, it's so delicious that it's hard to put into words.

Lian Man'er poured sesame oil on the melon seeds, a mouthful of corn tortillas, a mouthful of melon seeds, and ate with relish.

Even Shouxin loves to eat this, and he even dipped the green onion in the melon seed puree, and ate it with a big gulp.

Lian Zhi'er, Gorou and Xiaoqi also eat melon seeds.

"You guys, it's really easy to feed." Zhang laughed.

The conditions at home are better, and the food is often improved, but neither adults nor children are disgusted with the food that they are used to eating in the old poor days. No one picks and chooses food, it's just what the Zhang family does, and they can all eat happily.

Of course, this has something to do with Zhang's good cooking skills and always thinking of ways to make food delicious...... Since the beginning of the Qingming Festival, there have been a few rains, and even the vegetable garden of Man'er's family has been planted, and the plots in the corners have not been wasted. After entering the valley rain, there were two consecutive rains in the thirty-mile camp, and every household began to prepare, and the spring ploughing was about to begin.

Zhang Qingshan took Zhang Qingnian to come to the spring ploughing, and the two of them drove two big cars. One of them belonged to the Zhang family, and the other was for Lian Man'er's family, who sent a newly bought mule and cart to Lian Man'er's family.

Last year, he said that he wanted to buy mules, and Zhang Qingshan agreed, but he was not in a hurry to buy them, but slowly touched them. According to Zhang Qingshan's words, winter is a leisure time, and even Man'er's family has a small ox cart, which is usually enough, so he hurriedly bought a mule and a cart, and he also put it there, but the forage and labor to take care of it are not missing at all.

And now, in the face of spring ploughing, this mule and cart are really coming.

Zhang Qingshan specially led Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi to let them look at the mules' teeth and hooves, and also told them how to choose the best mules.

"I've been working for a year, and I'll be able to pull the plough stick in no time." Zhang Qingshan told Lian Shouxin.

In addition to two mules and a cart, Zhang Qingshan also helped buy another plow stick.

"Now you have much land, and you have hired long-term laborers, and you have an extra ploughman, so that you may save the work of the nest." Zhang Qingshan Road.

The mules, carts, ploughsticks, and matching whips and helpers were all complete, and a total of twenty-three hangings were spent. This was bought by Zhang Qingshan after walking around the mule and horse market for many years and using the price in the industry. If they had gone to the bazaar to buy them, they would not have been able to buy these things at this price.

At noon, Zhang Qingshan and his son stayed for dinner, and even Shouxin went to the town on a special trip, invited the old man of the Lu family, and invited Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing and his son.

As soon as Zhang Qingshan and the old man of the Lu family met, one was called Little Brother and the other was called Big Brother, and the two old men came to a bear hug, and they were very affectionate, which made Lian Man'er giggle outside the door.

"You young people don't understand, we were selling horses in the beginning, coming and going in the wind and snow, and we all came together to have a fateful friendship." Zhang Qingshan said generously.

Leaving the men to talk in the front hall, Zhang took Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er to the kitchen to cook.

The staple food prepared at noon is white flour pancakes, filled with fresh spring leeks, minced eggs with meat filling, cooked and chopped eggs, shrimp skin, meat skin jelly, and finally seasoned with salt and fresh soup. The smell of pancakes drifted almost a few miles down the wind.

The dishes prepared include mushroom stew, scrambled eggs with fungus, stir-fried meat with bean sprouts, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, ready-made haggis bought in town, roast chicken, and a large plate of shredded pork in Beijing sauce with green onions and dried tofu.

The wine is a jar of sorghum brought by the old man of the Lu family.

When the food was served, the wine jar was opened, and even Shouxin took a cup to pour wine, but was stopped by Zhang Qingshan.

"This is not pleasant, go to the bowl, ask for a big bowl."

used to drink at Lian Man'er's house, Zhang Qingshan didn't ask for a big bowl, but today he met his partner when he used to sell horses, and the two of them chatted happily, and they both remembered that heroic time. At that time, the horse traders slept in the open air, and when it was cold, they drank a big bowl of sorghum to warm up their bodies and become bold.

It is said that a group of them also broke through the hill where the tigers were entrenched.

“…… When I passed through the pine forest, I heard the roar of the tiger, and to tell the truth, at that time, I relied on this soju to strengthen my courage. ”

Xiao Qiyan listened to the side, a pair of big eyes full of envy and yearning.

Needless to say, the meal was quite lively.

A jar of wine, several people drank it all, and the most drunk among them were Zhang Qingshan and the old man of the Lu family. The old man of the Lu family had a little wine and was taken home by his son, but Zhang Qingshan became more and more energetic the more he drank. According to his own words, it is the amount of alcohol he practiced when he was young.

After eating, Zhang Qingshan said that he was leaving.

Lian Shouxin and Zhang were worried that he had drunk, so they wanted to stay with him and Zhang Qingnian for one night before leaving.

"Don't get in the way, where is this little wine?" Zhang Qingshan waved his hand, it's time for spring ploughing, no one has idle time, unlike farming, he can stay for one night. However, Zhang Qingshan still relied on Zhang's and lay down on the kang, and took a short nap before leaving.

Lian Man'er weighed twenty-three taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Qingnian.

Zhang Qingnian took the money, carefully put it in the money bag, and put it close to his body.

Zhang took a stack of pancakes and wrapped them in cloth, and took half a basket of salted duck eggs and a bag of corn seeds, and asked Zhang Qingnian to take them back to the family to eat.

"Grandpa, uncle, that wild vine and fruit tree sapling." Lian Man'er sent Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingnian out, and did not forget to instruct.

"Don't worry, your uncle and I have remembered it for you." Zhang Qingshan said, "When the time comes, I will definitely pick a good one and send it to you." ”

"How many sweet potato seedlings do you want?" Lian Shouxin asked Zhang Qingnian again.

The mountainous area of Shaoguotun and the open space in the fruit grove are very suitable for planting sweet potatoes.

"Just plant two or three acres." Zhang Qingnian said.

"Then I'll leave you three acres of seedlings." Even keep your word.

"Okay."

With two more mules, a wagon and a ploughstick, Lianman'er's family began spring ploughing the next day
