The farmer was a very enthusiastic person, so he let Qin Li and the others into the house and let Qin Li and them sit down around a square table. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info said that although this is a villager's family, but the life seems to be really good, and their family actually has tea that only the rich man's family pays attention to. The man said with a smile, "There are some rough tea leaves here, look at a few of them are nobles, a few will be used, the Zhuang family is vulgar, a few must not be surprised." ”

Although he is a farmer, he is very literate and speaks very decently. What surprised Qin Li and the others even more was that the seven or eight-year-old boy was even more amazing. He actually stepped forward to replace his father, pouring tea and water for Qin Li and them, a pair of tender little hands were very flexible, a pair of bright big eyes flickered, no matter how you looked at it, he was smart and clever.

For such a smart governor's child, Qin Li and others naturally have no conditional liking. While drinking hot water, Qin Li carefully glanced at the furnishings in this house. Although the furnishings in the room are simple, everything is cleaned and wiped. Qin Li and the others are now in the outhouse, and the outhouse of the rural people is not only a hall for receiving guests, but also a place for cooking and boiling water. The hostess was a person of medium stature, but very neat in action. After Qin Li and the others came in, the hostess smiled shyly at everyone, and went to work on her own.

The Chinese New Year is just two days away, and this is the time to be busy. There was a small pot of minced pork on the stove, and the hostess was stirring a large pot of dried wild vegetables that had just been chopped into the pot. Qin Li turned his head and glanced at the full pot of stuffing, and he was very satisfied. The people are the most simple and kind, and they also know how to save the most. Needless to say, these dried wild vegetables were picked by their family when the weather was hot.

Qin Li couldn't help but smile and asked, "Sister-in-law, you're having a good time, you can eat pork during the New Year?" ”

The woman may not have seen people often, and she was still a little shy when Qin Li and his party first came in, but at this time, she got used to it and looked generous, she replied softly, "The pork was sent down by the county master, the county master is really good, our life in Jiaohe County is really getting better and better!" ”

"Did the county magistrate send out such a little pork?" Qin Li asked in confusion.

"Where? Our family of four actually handed down eight catties of pork. We are an ordinary farmer, where have we seen pork, and now we have pork to save and eat?

I've calculated everything, I will eat two catties during the New Year, and I will eat meat non-stop after the New Year. The remaining six catties of pork were marinated. Hehe! With these six catties of pork, our family can see meat all year round! The hostess opened up the conversation and spoke with relish.

Somehow, Qin Li was a little sad when he heard his words, eating six catties of pork for a year, what kind of day is this? The lives of the people are also too miserable. And in Qin Li's impression, according to the 10,000 pigs he bought back from Shandong, the number of pigs distributed to Jiaohe County was only more than 600. Hu Shining will definitely not exceed one pound of pork per person in the hands of the people under his rule, which Xu Wei calculated. But Hu Shining actually sent two catties of pork to every person, where did the extra pound of pork come from?

No need to ask, this Hu Shining must not know where to buy pork. Thinking like this, Qin Li admired Hu Shining even more, and couldn't help nodding frequently.

At this time, the little boy spoke, "Actually, not all of these pork are sent by the county master, half of them are sent by the prefect of Hejian, and the other half is sent by the county master!"

Our Jiaohe County is a good place, we met a good county master, and even a good prefect, they are all officials who think about the people. If there are a few more officials like them in the Ming Dynasty, the world of the Ming Dynasty will be good! And the life of the people will be better!

Be an official, hum! If you don't make decisions for the people and don't want the people to get rich, it doesn't mean anything if you are an official. ”

The little boy said it like a river, and it made sense as if it were a little adult. In the end, he was a little indignant, and his two big eyes burst out with sparks of anger, which was very interesting.

The crop man scolded, "You little doll, who is listening to this, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"I listened to what Mr. said, is what Mr. said wrong?" The little boy pouted and said unconvinced.

Qin Li was shocked again, and said secretly, this Jiaohe County is really amazing, that is, even the children of ordinary people can enter private schools to study. It seems that with Hu Shining, the magistrate, I have to save a lot of effort in Hejian Mansion.

Maybe Mr. Private School is a person they respect very much, in short, the very quiet farmer smiled at Qin Li and the others embarrassedly, and stopped scolding the little boy.

At this time, the hostess mixed the stuffing and began to roll out the buns. Qin Li watched the hostess busy with interest, and asked again, "Sister-in-law, is this making buns?" ”

"Well, the buns stuffed with dried wild vegetables and meat, it tastes like a fragrant one! As soon as the pork was sent, our family wrapped a bun, and the two little gluttons ate a mouthful of oil, which is called a fragrant! She was clearly immersed in this endless bliss.

It's no wonder that ordinary people say that they eat pork when they celebrate the New Year, but they can't even eat white noodles! Most people can have a full meal during the Chinese New Year, which is very good.

"Isn't it better to eat dumplings after the Chinese New Year?" Qin Li asked softly.

"Dumplings? What are dumplings, mother, I want to eat dumplings! The little boy frowned and thought for a moment, then said hurriedly.

When she heard that dumplings were better than steamed buns, the little girl also came over and shouted with her two round eyes.

The banker's man and the hostess were both stunned, and looked at Qin Li very incomprehensibly, as if they couldn't understand what Qin Li was saying. Not only them, but even Murong Bing, Yu Dayou and others were stunned.

"Dumplings" seemed to have heard Boss Qin say it once a few days ago, but he didn't care about it at the time. What the hell is this dumpling? Is it even better than minced meat buns?

Feeling the bewildered eyes of everyone, Qin Li suddenly realized.

As the saying goes, it's not delicious but dumplings, what is it called if you don't eat dumplings during the New Year? But this dumpling was still invented by no one in the Ming Dynasty.

It's ridiculous, they will make steamed buns, but they can't think of shrinking the buns and boiling them in water? It seems that the appearance of this dumpling is also going to fall on me Qin Li. Thinking of this, Qin Li suddenly stood up, reached out and took the rolling pin from the hostess's hand, smiled, and started operating on the board. (To be continued.) )
