Chapter 165: Night Battle
Fee Chapter (12 points)
Lian Man'er couldn't cry or laugh a little, and said in her heart that this He family would really take advantage of loopholes, but whether the Zhou family would indulge her.
"You don't want to pick beans anymore?" Zhou asked. She didn't even raise her head, and continued to pick up the beans in her hands, moving quickly and accurately.
"Mother, didn't you let Man'er pick it, so why did you spend those two times?" Ho said.
"Okay. Then don't pick beans. Zhou finished picking up a handful of beans in his hand, and then raised his head, "You go and pick up the bundles of firewood at the gate." ”
"What?" He Shi was obviously taken aback, "Mother, that's a dozen bundles of firewood......"
"Seventeen bundles." Zhou said, "Before lunch, you pick up those firewood." In the evening, ten more bundles will be collected. ”
Lian Man'er laughed secretly, the He family wanted to pick up the 165th chapter of the night battle cheaply, but unfortunately the Zhou family would not indulge her like he connived at Lian Xiu'er, and now he hit the iron plate.
The so-called picking up firewood is picking up sorghum stalks. Everything in the countryside has to come in handy. The leaves on the sorghum stalks are torn off and used to make fires, leaving only the bare sorghum stalks, which will be used to clamp tents, build cucumber racks, and bean racks when planting vegetables next year.
Of course He is unwilling, although it is troublesome to pick beans, you can sit on the kang to warm the ground, if you go out to pick up firewood, you have to stand in the wind and snow for a long time, the snow outside is not big, but the wind is not small.
"Mother, I'd better pick beans." He smiled shyly.
"Give me the beans that your second aunt picked." Zhou sank his face and said to Lian Man'er.
Lian Man'er glanced at He, and handed the half-basket of beans she picked to Zhou. Zhou Shi took it, pulled it a few times with his hand, and picked out a grain of sand.
"This is the bean you picked, and the back of your head has long been in your eyes. Why can't you do it, don't you pick up firewood and he, wait for me to serve you, what's the place? Zhou glared at He.
It is not impossible for a grain of sand, mixed in the bean paste, to be eaten by anyone who does not eat it, knocking out a tooth. Ho was really careless.
He knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't dare to disobey the night battle clan in Chapter 165 of Zhou, so he slowly got off the kang, muttering in his mouth, "Just pick up our honest bullies."
"If you don't finish cleaning up, don't eat."
Zhou added another sentence, and He went out with a pout.
"This basket, all re-picked." Zhou poured all the beans into the big basket, and then handed the empty basket to Lian Man'er.
Lian Man'er sat in the vacated position of the He family, and Xiao Qi also followed to help Lian Man'er pick beans.
"It's not fun, pick and choose." Zhou said.
Xiao Qi bumped into Lian Ya'er, "This is not for fun, pick it well." ”
Lian Man'er thinks it's a little funny, Xiao Qi will also bully people, especially when he has his brother and his support, but this kid has a good heart, bullying people is naughty, and it won't be too much. The people who Xiao Qi bullied were limited to Lian Ya'er, Lian Duo'er and Liulang.
Even Ya'er moved her body and slowly picked the beans, no. Her temperament is neither like Lian Shouyi nor like He's, and she is usually bullied by Shiro and Rokuro at home.
"Gorou, why didn't you come?" Lian Xiu'er asked suddenly.
Their family has bean sprouts, and people come to buy them every day, and of course they have to be taken care of in the house. The work that Zhang thought of didn't need a few children, so he only brought Lian Zhi'er. Gorou was reading and writing in the west wing, and received people who might come to buy bean sprouts, but even Man'er and Xiaoqi couldn't stay idle and were curious, so they also followed.
Zhang's wanted, but Lian Man'er was ahead of him.
"My brother is outside, with Shiro and Rokuro." Lian Man'er said.
"It's all wild, and I don't help with the work." Lian Xiu'er complained.
Everyone was silent.
There are many people who work quickly, and when it is almost noon, the beans are picked. Zhang and Zhao found two large wooden basins and poured water to wash the beans. Although the beans are clean, if they are stained with dust or something, they should also be washed off. After washing the beans, I changed the water and soaked the beans, and the work was finished.
"Then we'll go first, and we'll do it later." Zhang said.
"Go ahead." Zhou's Road.
Even the old man seemed to be about to speak, and after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything in the end.
Lian Man'er came out of the upper room, and the snow particles were still falling, a little smaller than in the morning. Lian Man'er deliberately glanced at the gate, where there was a row of firewood, but he didn't see He.
"I must have gone to another house." Zhang whispered.
Back in the West Wing, Lian Shouxin and Goro were already cooking on the fire.
"What are we going to eat at noon?" Xiao Qi asked.
"Or the steamed buns of Sanhe noodles, sauerkraut frozen tofu, and then stir-fry a sour and spicy bean sprouts, what's it like?" Lian Shouxin discussed with Zhang.
"Okay, eat more at noon, eat gluttony at night, isn't it time?" Zhang said.
"That's what I thought too." Lian Shouxin said with a smile.
The so-called steamed buns of Sanhe noodles are steamed steamed with millet noodles, mixed bean noodles, and a little white flour, because of the addition of white noodles, the taste is much better, and it is also very filling. Bean sprouts are fried with dried chili peppers, and some vinegar is added before coming out of the pot, which is very refreshing. They love food as a family.
Sauerkraut jelly tofu is their home cooking dish in winter here, cut the sauerkraut into shreds, buy white tofu and put it outside to freeze thoroughly, take it into the house to melt before eating, cut it into small pieces and put it in the sauerkraut soup to stew.
Now the temperature outside the house at night has reached more than ten degrees below zero, and the white tofu freezes outside for a night, and the pieces of ground are harder than stones, which can kill people. But stewed in sauerkraut soup, the delicacy is first-class.
Lian Man'er especially loves to eat frozen tofu.
"Dad, put an extra piece of frozen tofu." Lian Man'er laughed.
"We love to eat, and we can put less." Even keep the word.
After lunch, Zhang took two large strings of leaves from a basket in the corner of the house and soaked them in water.
"Your grandma brought it to us last time, and it was fragrant. We'll pad this for our gluttony next night. Zhang said.
In the evening, Lian Xiu'er asked Zhang to cook beans. There are no additives, and to cook a good bean paste, it all depends on the mastery of the heat. In previous years, the work of cooking bean paste was done by Zhang.
At this time, Lian Man'er already understood a little.
"I just said, why did our master say that we would make dumplings together, and the milk didn't object to that at all"
"Do more work, you won't be tired." Zhang's still said, "Even if we don't wrap it together, we have to cook bean paste ourselves, and it's not a big deal to help them cook it." ”
Lian Man'er looked out, what was the firewood at the gate, and what was it like now, whether He had lunch or not, and then looked at Zhang's who lowered his head and burned the fire, Lian Man'er sighed secretly.
If it weren't for those things that happened, the Zhou family would never have let them separate. Zhang's is now helping Zhou's work, and her mentality can be so good, which is naturally due to her character, but she also tasted the sweetness of separating her family, and she didn't care about some occasional troubles and difficulties.
When the bean paste is cooked, the yellow rice noodles are ready. The volume of the yellow rice noodles has almost doubled, and the lid of one of the noodle jars has been arched.
Old Man Lian checked the yellow rice noodles and bean paste, and nodded again and again, indicating that he was very satisfied. Zhou has also seen it, and he still has a straight face, but he can't find fault with it.
When I went to the landlord's house, the oil lamp had been lit, the three dining tables were placed side by side on the kang, and the whole family was seated at the table. Wrapping up dumplings is a job. The men were in charge of taking the dough out of the vat, kneading it and handing it to the table.
When Lian Man'er saw that He also sat down at the table, she had an extra heart, and pulled Zhang and Lian Zhi'er to sit far away from He.
began to make dumplings, and Zhang gave Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er a demonstration. How big of dough is used for a dumpling, and how much bean paste is used for filling.
Lian Man'er learned to behave, dug a piece of dough, kneaded it in his hands, and the dough was a little sticky. When the dough is kneaded smoothly, press the dough into the middle of the dough with your fingers to press the dough into a cone, and then use a spoon to scoop an appropriate amount of bean paste into it, compact, and then knead the mouth. The mouth must be pinched tightly, otherwise the filling will be exposed when steaming. After that, the dough is kneaded into a circle, the leaves are padded underneath, and placed on the curtain drawer, and a dumpling is completed.
Xiao Qi sat behind Lian Man'er and watched with a blank eye. He also wanted to wrap up the dumplings, but Zhou didn't let him, for fear that he would spoil it.
When a curtain of dumplings is wrapped, take it to the outhouse and steam it in the pot. After the dumplings are steamed, they are sent to the yard. It was very cold outside, and it didn't take long for the steaming dumplings to freeze. This is also the reason why even the old man chose to wrap the dumplings at night, the temperature is lower at night, and the dumplings are more sturdy.
The frozen dumplings will be put into a clay pot and placed under the eaves to keep them for a winter.
Even Shouxin, Lian Shouyi, and Lian Shouli, as well as Erlang, Sanlang, Shiro, and Gorou are responsible for transporting the dumplings back and forth and steaming the fire. Even the old man doesn't have to work, he is not idle, he often goes out to watch, helps to see the heat of steaming dumplings, and looks like dumplings are frozen.
A curtain of drawers of dumplings was sent out to steam, Lian Man'er looked at the noodles in the two noodle jars, as well as the pots of motionless bean paste, raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
It's not that you can't be tired, it's that the fire in the outhouse is burning more and more, and the house is getting hotter. She now fully understands that Zhou is willing to let them make dumplings together.
It is necessary to pack hundreds of catties of gluttony, including the rations of Lian Shouren's family. Even Shouren's family is not there, and the only people who can make dumplings in the second room are He and Lian Ya'er, and these two girls are as slow as embroidery. And Zhang's can top two people alone, and even Zhi'er and her can top two adults, if there are no three of them, Zhou's will not be able to wrap it up with people.
And she was a little hungry, smelling the fragrance of the dumplings outside, even the old man and Zhou didn't speak, and no one dared to say that she wanted to eat. Moreover, there are some things that they should have planned to do.
"Mother." Lian Man'er touched the Zhang family next to her with her elbow.
