"I'll go to the market in two days and buy a few chickens." Sister Yao Hong thought that calling a chicken would definitely be more delicious than calling a sparrow, and it could make up for her husband's body.

In the afternoon, Yao Hong packed up the family's farm tools - since the family's fields were sold and rented, these farm tools have been collected in a corner of the backyard, because there is no care, some of the tools have rusted, Yao Hong took them to Chen Amu's house to repair, and they can barely be used.

After breakfast the next day, Yao Hong and Yao Huang went out to "open up the wasteland", and Wenren Qianye stayed at home to watch the children - Wenren Qianye deeply realized that "useless is a scholar".

Yao Huang really wanted to kneel. She thought that hoeing was a simple job, and she didn't estimate her current small body and the physical strength of the former housemaid, and after digging half of the ground crookedly, she already had back pain and leg cramps, on the other hand, the delicate Yao family eldest sister had dug out a piece of land. Therefore, no one should be a face.

"Second sister, you can rest for a while."

"No, I still have the strength." Yao Huang wiped his sweat, hung his waist, and smashed his hoe down—Nima, it hurts, the palms of her hands are bursting—Yao Er's eyes are in tears.

Two saviors appeared against the hoe.

"Brother Dali, Brother Erniu, why are you here?"

The two sons of the village chief's family put down their hoes and said to the sisters, "My father asked us to help you." ”

The two sisters are grateful, the village chief is such a good person!

The village chief, who had been given a good person card, sneezed, rubbed his nose, and found that he had no tendency to catch a cold, and continued to go door-to-door to inform the villagers to go to the village ancestral hall in the evening to hold a meeting to discuss the village's "money".

With the help of two strong laborers, two acres of vacant land were opened up in one day, and the prepared fertilizer was sprinkled into the soil, and Yao Hong warmly invited the Zhao brothers to their home for dinner.

"No need, my mother and my sister-in-law should have already cooked." Zhao Erniu postponed, looking at Yao Hong's face, his ears were red. Yao Hong was his crush, he was young at the beginning, and he thought that in two more years, he would let his father help him propose to the Yao family, but everything changed, and a scholar who suddenly appeared married Yao Hong, which made him regret it.

"Yes, big sister, we won't bother." Zhao Dali didn't understand his younger brother's entanglement in the face of his former dream lover, and beckoned Zhao Erniu to go home together.

"Wait a minute." Yao Huang, who had returned home an hour earlier, walked out with a basket.

"Brother Dali, take these dishes back and add food." Yao Huang handed the basket to Zhao Dali.

Zhao Dali took the basket and showed a big smile on his face, "Great, the dishes made by your two sisters are novel and delicious, when will you let your sister-in-law Cuihua come to learn from you." ”

"Always welcome." Yao Huang said with a smile.

There was a big bowl of fried pork belly with ginger and shallots, and a plate of yam cake. The village chief and Zhao Dali pleaded with their daughter-in-law to go to Yao's house to learn cooking from the two sisters when they had time. The village chief's mother-in-law couldn't pull her son to learn from the two juniors, so she ordered her daughter-in-law to go to Yao's house to learn how to cook, and tell herself when she came back.

"Second sister, the dishes you cook are getting better and better." Yao Qing was a carnivore, and half of a large basin of belly silk went into his stomach. Xiao Ke Baozi was more interested in sweet yam cakes, and he didn't eat the rice, and stuffed the yam cakes into his mouth.

"Xiao Ke, don't eat too much at night, you won't be able to sleep." Yao Hong grabbed her son's hand and continued to stretch out her hand to the plate of yam cakes, and asked her sister, "Second sister, what are the steps in making yam cakes?" ”

"First soak the dried red dates in boiling water and wash them softly and remove the pits; Wash the yam, peel and cut into sections, put the pitted red dates and peeled yam in the pot and steam for half an hour; Mash the yams and red dates into a puree; Put sugar and lard in the yam and mix well into a ball, press it into a cake, put in the jujube paste, wrap it, and then put it in the pot for a short time, and the yam cake is ready. ”

Yao Hong nodded and continued to ask, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" ”

Yao Huangdao, "When steaming yams, put the yams directly on the steamer, do not put them in the container, to prevent water accumulation; Yams and jujube paste should be pressed into fine drips, so as not to affect the taste. ”

Yao Hong was taught, "The yam at home is enough for us to eat for two years, can't we eat yam cake often?" ”

"Sister, if you hurt your son, just say it!"

"Hehe, I love you too!"

The peanut incident has already made the Yao family in the limelight, Yao Huang, Yao Hong and Wenren Chiba discussed to hide the yam in advance and wait for two years to tell the people in the village. In other words, in the past two years, all the yams in the mountain belong to them, and they can eat whatever they want.

After dinner, Yao Huang went to the ancestral hall as a representative to attend the villagers' meeting in Qingshui Village.

"Second girl, come to the fourth aunt." The fourth aunt of the Li family saw Yao Huang and beckoned her over. Aunt Li Si is an elderly woman in the village. Seeing Yao Huang, a pink and tender little Lori, the maternal love of the aunts and aunts is overflowing, and the way to express love is to ravage the cute little face of the little Lori with both hands. When the village chief uncle announced the start of the meeting, Miss Yao Huang's little face couldn't be more red, and the monkey PP couldn't compare with it.

With a long breath, Yao Huang quickly hid in the corner, never to stay with these middle-aged and elderly women anymore, it was terrible!

"Everyone, be quiet, I want to discuss important matters with you." There were a few old men who looked very old beside the village chief, they were the most senior people in Qingshui Village, and now that the village chief had invited them all out, it seemed that the matter must be very important.

"We Qingshui Village was built only a hundred years ago, when the world was in turmoil, Yao, Zhao, Li, Zhang and the four ancestors fled here with their people to escape the war, from nothing to friends, it took ten years to finally build Qingshui Village into the scale of today's ......"

The corners of all the villagers' mouths twitched, the village chief, talk about things, talk about things, we are not here to listen to you reminiscing about history. The history of the construction of the village, we have heard that the metropolis has been since childhood.

“…… We have worked hard for generations, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing, but even eating is a problem for those who are not good...... Now, an opportunity presents itself...... Peanuts can also be used to extract oil...... Thanks to Yao Huang, a little girl, she not only discovered peanuts, but also signed a supply contract with Baiweiju, and selflessly provided peanut seeds, so that the whole village could grow peanuts together and get rich together......"

Everyone looked at Yao Huang with kind and eager eyes, which made Yao Huang feel worried, mother, these people looked at her like an old cat seeing fresh fish, it was terrible.

After the village chief's words were finished, the villagers said that they wanted to plant peanuts. Some people immediately said that they would use all the fields to grow peanuts, but under the persuasion of the village chief, half of the land was changed to half of the land, and the other half was still planted with grain - otherwise what would your family have a big snack on? The conservative villagers did not dare to take out the fields to fight, and only planted one-tenth of the peanuts in the fields, or when the peanuts were ripe, they watched other people's families make a lot of money by selling peanuts. Of course, that's all for later. Now, the purpose of the village chief's meeting has been achieved, and the villagers have left the ancestral hall satisfied.

"Yao Huang, your vacant land has been opened, and you are going to start planting peanuts, right? Tomorrow I'll ask my second boy to help you. Aunt Li said to Yao Huang.

"Yes, you and your sister are the two little girls in your family, and they can't do much heavy work, so I asked my children to help." The village chief's wife continued.

"Yao Huang girl, the third uncle will also help you."

The villagers said that they wanted to help Yao Huang plant peanuts, Yao Huang smiled and thanked them one by one and agreed, these villagers were grateful to her for providing peanut seeds, and they wanted to know how to grow peanuts, after all, it was a new variety that they didn't know. Yao Huang understands their ideas, so naturally he will not refuse - besides, there is free labor, why not?

The next day, with the help of the villagers, the two acres of land newly opened by Yao Huang's family were quickly planted with peanuts. Because there were so many people who came to help, many people couldn't intervene and felt embarrassed, so they asked Yao Huang if there was anything else they could help. Yao Huang's eyes rolled, and he asked someone to help build a toilet in the backyard. Yao Huang really can't stand the way ancient people go to the toilet, especially when she puts a toilet in her room or something, forgive her for being too sensitive and can't stand the smell. Yao Huang has long wanted to repair the toilet, but unfortunately there is no labor at home, so it has been shelved until today.

After the thatched huts were repaired, the villagers were very interested in the design of the manure pit that flushed the dirt outside, and the thatched houses in the countryside were all dirty and smelly, and the Yao family's newly built thatched huts were clean. The villagers wrote down the design of the hut and decided to dig one themselves when they returned home.

The manure pit connected to the thatched hut is on the side of the clearing, and it will be very convenient for Yao Huang to fertilize later.

After all the villagers had left, the sisters, Yao Huang and Yao Hong, dug a ditch in the field at intervals and poured diluted homemade farm manure. Fertilizing is not an easy task, and the fertilizer formed by fermentation mixed with rotten leaves, feces and urine, etc., smells very bad. Yao Huang asked Yao Hong to make two simple masks, but they still couldn't stop the unpleasant smelly feeding, and the two sisters were so disgusting that they could barely eat.

After returning home, Yao Huang immediately took a bath with water from the well, and she would never eat until she washed off the smell on her body. Yao Hong understood her sister's mood, but she was not as exaggerated as Yao Huang, she simply rinsed and changed her clothes and started to cook dinner. The dough has been made, Yao Hong rolls them into thin pieces, cuts them into thin strips with a knife, puts them in boiling water, rolls them twice, scoops them up, puts them in cold water to make them cool, and the cold noodles are ready.

Yao Hong walked into the backyard, where the cucumbers were ripe and full of stands. Yao Hong picked two cucumbers, cut them into thin strips and put them on the cold noodles, then put garlic and onions and other seasonings, and brought the cold noodles to the hall, "It's time to eat!" ”
