Before, Liu Momo's family helped Du Qiyue collect rapeseed, Du Qiyue told them that they had packed the meals for the next few days, and Du Qiyue was going to Liushutun Village today and didn't have time to cook dinner, so they let Liu Momo and Liu Ge'er eat first, just leave a little for him. When Du Qiyue went home, the meal was ready, but Liu Momo's family didn't eat, and they all sat in the hall waiting for Du Qiyue.

Seeing Du Qiyue and several clan brothers coming back, Liu Mo immediately ran out and looked Du Qiyue up and down and asked, "Xiaoyue, how is it?" ”

"It's okay, the relatives have been retired, and the original wedding gifts have all been returned." Du Qiyue smiled and said.

Du An put down a few large red lacquered wooden basins in his hand, and said proudly: "Liu, don't you know, Xiao Yue is amazing, at that time, the entire Liushutun Village was surrounded by people, and the village chief also helped the Qian family, but Xiao Yue solved the matter in a few words, and the Qian family couldn't say anything!" At the end of the day, it's a reader, but it's different. If it is us, it will be a loss to keep it. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'm still worried that the Qian family is difficult, and you won't be able to deal with it." Liu Momo said with a sigh of relief.

"I can't sit still because I'm so worried, I say you might have to fight, and you want my father and brother to help!" Brother Liu said with a smile, while curiously looking at the things that the clan brothers moved back. They are all some good-looking sample furniture, those wooden basins, barrels, and boxes are all made of good wood, and they are also painted with good lacquer.

"There are a lot of things, Brother Wen'er next door only has a piece of cloth, a set of dishes and a few food boxes to eat, how can there be furniture here."

"You Zhao don't love your little brother Yue, the Qian family is the most precious brother Yin, and the family will naturally give a little more family gifts." Liu Momo said, looking at the furniture in the same way. In fact, the family gifts that ordinary farmers can afford are similar to those received by Brother Wen, and the Du family will give so many family gifts because the Du family was rich at that time, and Zhao Momo wanted the Qian family to look up to Du Qiyue a little more, so that Qian Yin was desperate for Du Qiyue. Who knew that the Du family had been defeated in just a few years, and the originally good family affairs had been ruined.

Brother Liu didn't understand this, so he only said: "It turns out that this is the case, so many marriage gifts, that Brother Yin really doesn't know how to cherish it." ”

The clan brothers moved their things into the house and left, Liu Momo hurriedly brought out the food that was hot in the pot and beckoned everyone to eat, "Xiaoyue, come and eat, the food is about to be cold." ”

"Liu Mo, I said that you don't have to wait for me to eat first, you are so tired from work, how can you be hungry again." Du Qiyue said when he saw the food on the plate that had not been touched at all.

"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, I'll eat some leftover porridge in the morning and eat it as a snack, I won't be hungry." Liu Momo walked out with a big bowl of stewed eggs and said.

When Du Qiyue saw the bowl of stewed eggs, he thought that all the eggs he had saved at home were about to be eaten by him, so he said: "What, do you know who sells chicks and ducklings in our village?" My ducks were slaughtered a while ago, and there are not a few chickens left, I want to buy some chickens and ducks to raise, and it is not easy to raise them when it is hot. ”

"Hey, I forgot about this the other day, you really should have more things. We don't sell these chickens and ducks in our village, my mother's village has them, I'll help you buy them in two days, how many do you want? Do you want to buy goose cubs? Liu Momo asked.

Zhao Momo is a capable person, the old houses behind the new house of the Du family were all turned into livestock sheds by him before, pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other common livestock he raised, Du Fugui also raised rabbits and bees when he was alive, and later Du Fugui died A lot of work in the family was pressed on Zhao Momo's body, so he raised less. Before Zhao Momo died, the ducks, geese and most of the chickens of the Du family were slaughtered for a funeral feast, and several pigs and sheep were also slaughtered, and now there are two pigs, two sheep, and six hens left in the livestock shed. This is not enough, six hens can lay a few eggs, and the average chicken and duck have to raise a dozen or so to be enough for the family, and a few geese to watch the family.

"I don't know what these prices are?" Du Qiyue asked, he will definitely not be able to eat meat often in the future, so he can only eat a few eggs a day to satisfy his cravings, so chickens and ducks must be raised more.

"Chickens and ducklings are each worth ten cents, and geese are more expensive, fifteen cents each."

"Then please help me buy twenty chickens and ducks each, and two geese." Du Qiyue thought for a while and said, he had the intention to raise more, but he was afraid that he would get sick if he raised too much.

"Cheng, if you buy so much, I can still help you keep the price down." Liu Momo nodded and said.

"Why, I still want to raise a few more pigs, can I buy the piglets now?" Du Qiyue asked again.

"You don't have to buy this, my old sow will give birth to cubs next month, and I'll catch a few for you to raise when the time comes, and the price will look at it." Liu Momo said, while sandwiching a large piece of meat into Du Qiyue's bowl.

After eating and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Liu Momo's family went back, Du Qiyue just had a quarrel today, and he was a little excited, and he felt even more idle when he stayed in the room, thinking that there was still a bunch of lotus roots in the kitchen that had not been cleaned up, so he stretched his waist and went into the kitchen.

The pile of lotus roots was dug up yesterday and was still very fresh, and each section was as thick as Du Qiyue's calf and as long as his lower arm. Du Qiyue looked at it and picked out a few sections from it, and then went to the well outside to get a bucket of water to wash it, and the cleaned lotus root could smell the unique fragrance when you got close, Du Qiyue broke a section of the smallest lotus root and took a bite, it was crisp and sweet, very refreshing.

After thinking about the materials at home, Du Qiyue decided to make crystal lotus root cakes to eat, just to make some more and send them to the brothers who helped tomorrow, which can be regarded as repaying today's favor.

Du Qiyue first cut some out of the lard fat that he bought today and didn't have time to fry, washed it and cut it into cubes, added sugar and salt to marinate it and put it aside for later use, then peeled and chopped the lotus root into lotus root, put it in a basin and add flour and mix it evenly, and then divided the dough into dozens of small balls and put it aside.

After the board is marinated, add osmanthus sugar and mix well, wrap it in the small dough that has been divided before, pat it into a cake shape with a thickness of less than one inch, and then fry the lotus root cake until it is golden on both sides and eat. The crystal lotus cake that has just been made is golden on both sides, but the middle is silver-white and translucent, which looks particularly beautiful and smells very fragrant.

Du Qiyue took a blow and couldn't wait to take a bite. This cake is fried very well, the outer layer is crispy, but the inside is soft and glutinous, the key lard is just right, and it is not greasy at all. However, Du Qiyue does not have rose candy at home, and if there is rose sugar, it will be more delicious and beautiful to sprinkle a little bit of rose sugar.

After eating two cakes, Du Qiyue stirred the extra crust from the lotus root cake with the bran and hot water, and fed the pigs as pig food. These livestock and poultry have been fed before, but the two pigs don't mind eating more, smelling the fragrance from the pig trough and getting up and eating it.

Du Qiyue saw that they were eating well, leaned over and patted the heads of the two pigs, and then added some grass to the sheepfold before staggering back to his house. In fact, if it weren't for the smell in the livestock shed, Du Qiyue would really want to sleep in it, but the big house was very empty, and he always felt that he didn't have much popularity when he slept in it.

When he was lying on the bed, Du Qiyue thought that he seemed to have to be a dog, not only to take care of the family, but also to accompany him as a companion.

The next morning, after getting up and having breakfast, Du Qiyue divided the crystal lotus root cakes made yesterday and sent them to the families of the brothers who helped him yesterday. It's just one night, and the whole village knows about Du Qiyue's big trouble in Liushutun Village yesterday, and many people who went to work in the fields along the way saw Du Qiyue looking at him with strange eyes, and some even joked with him, saying that it was fortunate that he had sharp eyes, otherwise he would have been cuckolded.

Most of the people were just joking, but a few of them were uneasy and kind to talk with pricks, Du Qiyue stabbed them back one by one, and then finished sending things refreshed, patted his buttocks, and rushed home.

It's just that Du Qiyue didn't get to the door before he had another accident.

"Xiaoyue, it's not good, Uncle Qing's family has quarreled with your uncle's family! Hurry up and go to the fields with me! "The one who came to call Du Qiyue was a young man named Du Agen, their field was on the edge of the remaining three acres of Du Qiyue's family, and the relationship with Du Qiyue's family was not bad before.

"What's going on?" Du Qiyue asked.

"Your uncle's family said that they would help you harvest rapeseed, but Uncle Qing said that you contracted the field to their family, and your aunt said that these relatives of their family are still there, and Uncle Qing's family is not happy to accept your rape, and then the two families quarreled in the field." Agen gasped.

"Hey, I'll just go with you, didn't you fight?" Du Qiyue hurriedly followed Ah Gen to the field, asking as he ran.

"I'm looking at it quickly, the two of the golden lock and the silver lock are arguing with the tiger, and the three of them are angry, and if they don't get it, they will fight." Agen said.

"Then let's run faster, but don't let them fight." Du Qiyue said, his steps were faster.
