Chapter Forty-Seven: Tricks

"Tian Hua, why are you so concerned about Jiuli and them, do you think that Qizhu can show off talent this time, and the land at home should be recorded in the name of the person and exempt from taxation."

"Yo, who should I be, Feng Diehua." Ma Tianhua looked at Feng Diehua who was not far away and said with disdain, "Whether Qizhu can be a talent or not, that's up to the official master, what do I know about the food in the field." ”

"As for such a good thing as tax exemption, if you, the aunt of others, don't have a share, and I, an outsider, don't have to think about it, you don't need to worry." Ma Tianhua really didn't want to talk to Feng Diehua, her niece was bullied, and she was still watching the excitement on the sidelines, and now when she thought of being exempt from taxes, she opened her mouth, what the hell.

"You ......" Feng Diehua choked with anger, "Your mouth is really sharp." ”

"Qishan's family, you also go to pull weeds." Chi Lingmiao walked from not far away with his two daughters-in-law, carrying a rake on his back and holding a dustpan, and a villager asked with a smile, "By the way, it wasn't long before they walked over in Jiuli." ”

"They just can't be idle, they can't do it anymore." Chi Lingmiao and Yourong said, "Eh, the third brother and sister are also here, why are you alone in the field, the little uncle and Wufu them." ”

"They're going to do the work." Feng Diehua replied with a smile.

"That's right." Chi Lingmiao nodded, "By the way, in a few days, I will turn over the ground for Jiuli's family, and you ask the little uncle and them not to forget to go." ”

"Sister-in-law, you see that no one has turned over the land in our house, where can you be busy, the ...... of the house"

"Huh?" Chi Lingmiao glanced at Feng Diehua, and successfully broke Feng Diehua's words, "There are four strong men in your family, and the land is only seven acres, why can't you be busy." ”

"I remember that my uncle was still ploughing the ground in the paddy field a few days ago, and he was almost done, and his uncle was very good at working in the field, so you don't have to help him be polite." Chi Lingmiao said, "Oh, the owner will come to the field after chopping wood and carrying water, what are you embarrassed to tell him." ”

Feng Diehua was speechless, in Qiliangou, she was not afraid of heaven and earth, she was afraid of Qishan, when she married into the Qi family before, this uncle was not smiling, which made people feel awe, not to mention that she had also seen Qi Mountain beat Qi Gu and Qi River with her own eyes, she was even more afraid.

"Sister-in-law, I'm in charge of their own uncle in Jiuli, how can I not help, when they come, let them go together to help turn over the ground." Feng Diehua said with a smile.

"Third brother and sister, you are a knife-mouthed tofu heart, I have always known it." Chi Lingmiao got a satisfactory answer, smiled and said beautiful words, and then led the two daughters-in-law away.

"What a child." Seeing Feng Diehua like this, Li Meili said sarcastically, now that the people around her have begun to talk about Feng Diehua, Li Meili's previous embarrassment has disappeared.

These lively Qi Jiuli and the three of them didn't know, and at this time, the three of them had already arrived in their own fertile fields at the end of the village.

Qi Jiuli took a rough look, hey, the weeds can't be burned, the spring breeze blows and grows, she has never been a farmer, and now she is about to start experiencing it.

"Sister, look, there's a lot of water celery." Qi Shixiang saw the water celery on the edge of the ridge, and went to pick it with a basket, "This water celery is so tender, put some in the dumpling soup at night, put some lard, not to mention how fragrant." ”

"Hmm." Qi Jiuli agrees that this celery looks similar to the celery he knows, but it is smaller, and the celery soup is a good match, and the wontons and dumplings are very suitable.

Qi Jiuli and Qi Shiyi were busy helping Qi Shixiang pick celery together, but they didn't expect to pick half a basket.

"Yes, not only is there a part of the grass, but there are also more good ingredients." Qi Jiuli was content.

Qi Jiuli and the three of them started from the ridges along the road, three people in a row, and gradually advanced to the other side of the fertile field, although the ground was not frozen, but it was not turned over very hard, and many weeds were broken when they were pulled up, leaving roots in the soil.

Qi Jiuli picked up the rake and waved it from top to bottom, obviously with the help of acceleration, but he still only shallow a piece of soil, Qi Jiuli was very lucky, and then there would be uncles to help turn over the ground, if you let yourself do it, you may be wasted.

"Jiuli, don't turn over." Chi Lingmiao's loud shout came, and Qi Jiuli stopped his movements and turned around to look.

"Auntie." Qi Jiuli called sweetly.

"When the weeds are pulled out, they will break, and when your uncle and they turn the ground, the roots will be exposed, and it will be good to pick them up then." Chi Lingmiao said, "You have thin arms and legs, where can you turn the ground, don't grind the palms out of the blisters." ”

"Okay, got it." Qi Jiuli nodded and replied.

"You do it slowly, and we're going to the fields." Chi Lingmiao waved her hand, and Ren Xue'er and Li Cuijuan also greeted Qi Jiuli and the others and left.

Qi Shan's house is on the other side of the road, and it is quite close to Qi Jiuli's house.

Bending over and squatting for two quarters of an hour, Qi Jiuli got up and stretched, and asked Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi to follow suit, and when the sun set in the west, Qi Jiuli and the three of them packed up and carried home a basket full of weeds and picked water celery.

After unlocking the door, Qi Jiuli and Qi Shixiang carried the weeds into the courtyard, Qi Shixiang lifted them domineeringly, poured all the weeds in the bamboo basket to the ground, pulled them with their hands for a while, and dispersed, "Dry for a few days, and use it as a fire when it is dry." ”

Qi Jiuli understood, she learned again, and she was still wondering why she brought wild vegetables home.

Qi Shiyi had already neatly taken out the wooden basin from the kitchen, removed the large leaves from the water celery in the basket, cut off the roots, leaving only the tender leaves and stems, and then scooped the water and washed it, "Sister, it's okay." ”

Since tasting the food cooked by Qi Jiuli, now Qi Shiyi rarely calls Qi Shixiang when he eats, and there is no contrast and no likes and dislikes.

"Go to the kitchen, you help me light the fire."

"Okay." Qi Shiyi excitedly took the wooden basin and followed Qi Jiuli into the kitchen.

Qi Jiuli washed his hands, took a kitchen knife and a cutting board, and cut the water celery thinly, only half of it, and if he cut too much, it would be a bit noisy, and the remaining half was put in a wooden basin, and he scooped water into it to keep the water celery fresh.

"Sister, the pot is hot." Qi Shiyi lit the fire and kept paying attention to the cauldron.

Qi Jiuli scooped a little lard into the pot with a spoon, and when the lard was hot, pour in the chopped water celery and stir-fry, add a little salt, and then put it out of the pot and put it in a bowl, and then scoop down three scoops of water and cover the pot.

After the water boiled, Qi Jiuli put all the dumplings down, but fortunately, the pot was big, and one hundred and nine dumplings could be cooked in one pot.

When the water boiled again, the white and fat dumplings shook slightly in the pot, and Qi Jiuli scooped half a scoop of water and added it to the pot...... Repeated three times, the dumplings almost floated, Qi Jiuli poured the previously fried water celery into the pot, scooped the soup into the bowl with a spoon, so that the bowl almost did not leave oil stars, put salt, tasted salty, and then it was ready to come out of the pot.

Qi Jiuli first put thirty into the bowl, covered a pottery bowl, and put it in the basket, "Ten incense, you send it to the uncle's family." ”

"Huh."
