Chapter XXVIII

"His grandmother showed him one, this child didn't really like someone, the other party's family is also in the town business, rich assets, this and his grandfather's family is very close, this back and forth somehow got along. I asked an acquaintance to come together, but this dead kid is not happy, and it is a shame that your grandfather's family has come over for you, otherwise you will be embarrassed to see your Uncle Wu in the future. Aunt Mu crackled and complained, everyone stopped their chopsticks and pricked up their ears to listen, this news is exciting enough, after listening to everyone's eyes, "brush brush" straight at Mu Jia'an.

Mu Jia'an, the party who was focused on by everyone, was ashamed and anxious, and his face was crimson.

was mentioned in front of him, the young man was thin-skinned, his face was red with shame, and he couldn't wait to leave the table.

But Luozhi was sitting not far from him, and he was eager to know her reaction to his own affairs.

He tried his best to suppress his shy heart, pretending to glance at her inadvertently, this glance made his heart seem to be soaked in cold water, Luo Zhi happened to look at himself with a curious face, those smart eyes were curious, sympathetic, but there was nothing he wanted.

The adults saw Mu Jia'an looking like he was eager to hide in the ground, and after laughing, they talked about other things.

Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, and they didn't take a lunch break, but sat in the hall picking peanuts. The sun outside was scorching, and the old man said that he would go out later to pull peanuts.

This peanut picking is also to pay attention to technology, the left hand holds the peanut seedlings, the right hand is full of peanuts and turns hard, they will fall, the peanut seedlings should be picked quickly, otherwise the fever will attract a group of ants, then the trouble will be big.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the old man, Uncle Mu Si took Ah Shu and Brother Jia An to the field with an ox cart, and Aunt Mu Si took Luozhi to continue picking peanuts at home.

The two families worked hard all day, and the peanut seedlings on the two acres of land were finally taken back home, everyone was tired enough, and the old man's waist couldn't straighten up, and he said that if it weren't for Uncle Mu's family today, I really don't know when I would be able to pull it out.

Luozhi still made a very hearty dinner, steamed pork, burned braised pig's feet, stir-fried pork lungs, made dried vegetables, in order to give everyone a taste, she also deliberately followed the method of the previous life, added cinnamon, star anise, green onions, knotted swallows, etc., and cooked a large basket of boiled peanuts, plus three vegetarian fried fresh vegetables, the table was full and could not put the dishes and chopsticks.

"Everyone has done it, thank you so much for your hard work today." The old man filled the wine and raised his glass to Uncle Mu's family and said.

The old man, Uncle Mu and Brother Jia An drank grain wine, Aunt Mu took a few small ones to drink sugar water, and the two families raised their glasses to celebrate the harvest.

"Luozhi, the peanuts you cooked taste good, and they are excellent for making snacks with wine," Fourth Uncle Mu piled up a bunch of peanut shells in front of him, and with this braised peanuts, even the meat was lined up at the back.

"Uncle, if you like to eat for a while, you can bring some back, I have a big basket!" Luo Zhi said crisply, "Grandpa, uncle, this year's peanut harvest is good, what are you going to do with these peanuts?" ”

"Select some to make seeds, squeeze the rest of the oil, and exchange the rest for money," Fourth Uncle Mu took a sip of wine and ate a peanut, eating both comfortably and relieved.

Old Man Mu nodded approvingly, this countryman is not interested in keeping peanuts for their own family to eat, even if they are kept, they are a very small part, and they have to wait until the New Year to fry them as New Year's goods to entertain relatives and friends.

"Uncle, aunt, what do you think of the taste of these peanuts?" Luo Zhi asked with a smile.

That's right, she plans to take Uncle Mu's family to do the business of boiled peanuts, this family has good character and is hardworking and willing to work, which is worth mentioning.

This is also Luozhi's gratitude, in her previous life, she went to pluck peanuts to play soy sauce for fun, and now she has experienced a lot of hard work, and she really understands that this work is tiring to death.

Uncle Mu's family only finished pulling out yesterday, and today they continue to help their own family, physical digestion is not something that ordinary people can resist, but their family works hard to help their own family, without a word of complaint, Luo Zhiming feels five inside, and wants to repay the peach.

"This is the taste of this, especially drinking and eating, and comparing meat to meat!" Fourth Uncle Mu stretched out his thumb and shook it.

"It's also excellent to make snacks, most people are reluctant to eat like this, as long as you are a generous child, a basket is a basket when you cook it," Aunt Mu said with a smile.

"Isn't this a taste for everyone? Besides, I'm still reluctant to eat this tired and tired work, so what are you begging for?" Luozhi grabbed a handful of peanuts and handed them to Brother An, who didn't eat much with his hands, and the young man hurriedly took it.

Everyone nodded when they heard this, isn't the ultimate goal pursued by the countrymen digging in the soil to fill their stomachs?

"You weird guy, what good ideas do you have, just say, don't go around in circles. Your Fourth Aunt Mu is a real person, but she doesn't have the twists and turns in your head. What are you going to say to them directly, it's just a matter of one sentence if it doesn't work out," the old man now has a certain understanding of his own ghostly little granddaughter, and knows that she must have another idea to make money when she says this, and wants to take the family to make money together.

"Hehehe, my grandfather still understands me. That's the case, fourth uncle, fourth aunt, what do you think of these boiled peanuts to be sold in Ji'an Town? Luozhi said what he meant straightforwardly.

"Of course you can," Fourth Aunt Mu reacted and said with a happy face. She knows that Luozhi's family can now be fed, clothed, and warm, and buy land to build a house, but it is all the money that Luozhi earns from selling food recipes, and this Luozhi is willing to take his family to do it together, which is really unwanted!

This is also the reason why she never asked Luozhi to teach her to cook and marinate peanuts, this is the way for people to make money in Luozhi, and it is not suitable for her to ask, I have to say that although Aunt Mu is a daughter-in-law of a villager, she can see the problem very clearly.

"Won't that make you less profitable? Luozhi," Fourth Uncle Mu asked. Aunt Mu also understood when she heard her man's words, and she didn't seem to be happy just now.

If you want to make money, you can't harm Luozhi's interests on the premise, otherwise what's the difference between this and robbing her money? Besides, it's not that I can't live my own life, and I don't have to do this business to make Luozhi embarrassed.

Luo Zhi looked at these two people, and comforted them, these two people are not people who forget their righteousness, but it makes Luo Zhi feel that they are worth helping.

Luozhi shook his hairy head and said, "Uncle, aunt, you don't know the difficulties of making this boiled peanut, I can't be busy alone."

If you don't come, I'm going to ask someone to do it, and you don't have to have any burden at all. Think about it, you have to pay for doing things, if you are so hard-working, let's not talk about it, I'm afraid that the people who invite you will not be bad, how can you fix it then? ”

The two of them saw that Luozhi said sincerely and wanted to cooperate with their own business, so they smiled and asked how to operate this matter.

Mu Ying sat next to Luozhi, and when she heard that the two were doing business together, she knew that Luozhi wanted to help her own family, she held Luozhi's arm tightly, and looked at her side face with admiration and joy.

Mu Jia'an looked at the little face that shone in the moonlight across the dining table, and was impressed by her intelligence. On her face, a pair of crystal eyes were black and white, as pure as a deep spring in the valley. The more I look at it, the more it fits my heart, and the young man's heart is uncontrollably beating.

After preliminary discussion, in addition to the peanuts that were left for seeding, the rest were taken out to make boiled peanuts, which was divided into two families and one half for the time being.

As soon as this matter was decided, the two families felt a lot closer to each other, and their words were more casual and warm. After the meal, everyone moved the peanut seedlings to the yard and picked the peanuts by hand and foot in the moonlight.

On this day, everyone was tired and panicked, and Luo Zhi finally picked peanuts and washed them, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

After a good night's sleep, Luozhi pushed open the window and looked at the sky, it was not yet sunrise, and the sky was a little cloudy. In the deep blue sky, there are a few sparse remnants of stars in the pale blue sky. The ground was pitch black, the sky was slightly white, and the weeds in the fields in the distance were trembling slightly, and everywhere was shrouded in mist-like light.

Mu Ying was still asleep, she walked out of the room lightly, came to the courtyard, the cool and pleasant fresh air of the autumn morning greeted her, she closed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a cool flow throughout the body, every cell was awakened, and the meridians were all connected.

Thunder can't make a big meat bun, Zhang Butcher asked Uncle Yu who was driving the car yesterday to tell her, asking her to make ten more today, he wants to give it away, pinch his fingers, and he has to steam three bamboo drawers today.

The old man was old, and when he heard the movement, he knew that Luozhi had gotten up, and the old man got dressed and washed and came to the stove room to help.

The meat at home is only enough to make a big meat bun for Butcher Zhang, and he has to eat something else for his breakfast. Luozhi's eyes fell on the old pumpkin and had an idea.

She first reconciled the dough made into a big meat bun and put it on one side, adjusted the filling, and made the wrapping with Grandpa, and the wrapped big meat bun was neatly stacked into the bamboo drawer and steamed over high heat. Here, the peeled and fleshed pumpkin is cut into pieces, and it is also put in and steamed together.

When the pumpkin is steamed for ten minutes and soft, take it out with a clean rag dipped in cold water, and continue to steam the buns over high heat.

Take a spoon and mash the pumpkin into a puree, add the old noodles and two bowls of white noodles left before, add sugar, knead into a smooth dough and put it into the steamed rice grate to rise, wait for the dough to rise into a honeycomb shape, take it out and knead the air, and then proofing it again.

The old man here lit the fire and saw that the big meat package was cooked, so he removed the two firewoods, leaving only a small fire to continue burning, so he used chopsticks to take out the big meat bag and dry it for a while, and packed it one by one with lotus leaves and put it in the back basket.

Luozhi saw that the pumpkin dough had risen to twice the size, and knew that it was ready to be steamed, so he took a small bamboo cage and put the dough in to steam, and put a few dried jujubes on the dough.

Mu Ying got up to help light the fire, the fire continued to steam for half an hour, and the unique fragrance of pumpkin steamed buns hit the tip of her nose, and the luozhi made Mu Ying extinguish the fire, so that the pumpkin steamed buns simmered for a few more minutes to be more fluffy and delicious.
