"Grandma, the water tank at home is full, and there is a lot of firewood, these days the uncle and the lobby brother come to help every day." Qi Jiuli was busy stopping, his grandfather looked like he was over half a hundred years old, how could he keep him busy.

Shen Amin's family sat for a few hours and left, took out all the food in the basket they brought, and walked away with the empty basket, Qi Jiuli and a few people sent people to the entrance of the village, Shen Amin chanted all the way, let them take care of themselves, and deliver the news to Chishui Village if there is anything......

Watching Shen Amin and the three of them walk away, Qi Jiuli and a few people walked back.

"Jiuli, on the fifteenth, we still take a donkey cart to the town to sell charcoal, and in the next few days, your uncle will turn over the land, and you three will go to the field to pull weeds." Chi Lingmiao explained.

"Okay."

When the three of them returned home, Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi were pulled by Qi Jiuli and sat around the hall.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Qi Shixiang asked.

"How much land does our family have?" Qi Jiuli asked.

"Eight acres, half of paddy fields and half of dry land." Qi Shixiang replied, "We will pull the grass three times in two or three days." ”

"Oh." Qi Jiuli nodded, "By the way, how long do we keep filial piety, I heard that my brother is going to take the government exam in June, and he can take the Xiucai exam during the filial piety period?" ”

"Originally, my brother didn't plan to take the exam, but my uncle persuaded them, and if I missed it, I had to wait for two years, and my brother thought about it for a long time before he planned to find someone to guarantee again, fill in his resume, and wait a few days to re-apply for the exam." Qi Shixiang replied in a low voice.

"Half a year." Qi Shiyi added, "The second sister said such a long list, but she didn't say how long she would keep filial piety. ”

Qi Shixiang's originally depressed mood was stimulated by Qi Shiyi, and she immediately raised her head and glared at Qi Shiyi, "Grandma said it for half a year before, do you think my sister doesn't know, my sister must confirm it." ”

Qi Jiuli was a little stunned, half a year, Shen Amin said that she didn't say it before, she may not have paid attention, but in the half-year filial piety period, Qi Qizhu barely caught up, and the June exam, the filial piety period passed, no wonder the uncle wanted to persuade them.

"Just half a year?" Qi Jiuli was actually a little surprised by this time of filial piety, "The official, his parents went to the family, and he was worried for half a year?" ”

"What is Ding Wei?" Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi looked at Qi Jiuli in confusion.

"When I didn't ask."

"Sister, are we going to pick wild vegetables?" Qi Shixiang asked, his eyes saw the good things that his grandfather brought on the table of the Eight Immortals, and his whole body was excited, "Sister, I'll put these away first." ”

"Let's see, we don't know what." Qi Jiuli looked at the cloth bag on the table and a piece of pork belly with the width of an index finger, and a large piece of lard was placed in the wooden basin, Qi Jiuli couldn't help but swallow his saliva, hey, look at this breath, even if he hadn't seen a pig run before, would he still eat less pork.

"Sister, you know what it is at a glance, I ......"

"I can't see what's in the bag." Qi Jiuli let go of the cloth bag and saw that it was white noodles with white flowers, and his mind automatically flooded with white flour steamed buns, big buns, dumplings, noodles, cakes, and bread...... A series of dishes that can be made with white flour.

"It must weigh five pounds." Qi Jiuli picked it up and tried the feel, "I don't know how many days the four of us can eat?" ”

Qi Shixiang excitedly snatched the cloth bag, "Sister, I'll put it away and put it in the cupboard, we can eat five catties for several months, some white flour in the cornmeal, and occasionally eat a meal of Erhe noodle steamed buns, how can I eat it until my brother goes to the hospital to try it." ”

Qi Jiuli twitched the corners of his mouth and muttered, "Five catties of white noodles can really be carried, but I didn't expect to be able to eat it for four months." ”

Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi heard it, one was choked, and the other lowered his head to steal fun.

"This lard has to be boiled out first, and this pork belly has to be four or five catties, we ......"

"Sister, I'll salt the pork belly later." Qi Shixiang interrupted.

"Don't eat fresh, eat pickled." Qi Jiuli didn't dare to agree, "Even if you have a lot of bacon, it doesn't cost salt, and there is not so much salt at home." ”

Qi Jiuli's proposal, Qi Shixiang nodded in agreement.

"Eldest sister, then what are we going to eat at night?" Qi Shiyi asked in a low voice, his eyes shining.

"Soup with oil residue and wild vegetables?" Qi Jiuli asked.

Qi Shiyi pursed his lips, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the cabinet where Qi Shixiang collected white noodles, Qi Jiuli understood in seconds, "Oil residue and wild vegetables are mixed into filling, and dumplings are made." ”

Qi Shiyi's eyes were as brilliant as fireworks.

"No, we have to use a lot of white noodles for dumplings, we ......"

"Let's make dumplings, eat this meal, those white noodles will be hidden, and tomorrow I will start eating potatoes and sweet potatoes." Qi Jiuli said, "We just put a few meals of white noodles into one meal. ”

Qi Shixiang couldn't refute Qi Jiuli's words when he listened to them, there was always some truth.

"Scoop two catties, pack more, and send some to the uncle when the time comes." Qi Jiuli said.

Qi Shixiang nodded and sent a bowl to the uncle's family, she was not distressed at all.

"I'll go digging wild vegetables now, and the eldest sister and second sister will stay at home to boil lard." Qi Shiyi was full of momentum, and rushed out with the basket.

"Shixiang, you burn the fire, and I boil the lard." Qi Jiuli acted quickly, washed the lard, took out the cutting board and kitchen knife, and cut the lard fat in the wooden basin into pieces and put it in the cauldron.

Scoop cold water with a scoop and add it to the pot.

"Sister, how do you add water?" Qi Shixiang couldn't stop it, and Qi Jiuli had already put half a scoop of water in it.

"Is fried eggs with wild vegetables good? How about brown sugar frangipani? What about cornmeal womb wrapped in stir-fried wild vegetables? Qi Jiuli looked at Qi Shixiang with a smile.

Qi Shixiang was stunned, didn't say anything, moved to the wooden pier and sat down, and honestly lit the fire.

"Sister, although you talk a lot now, it makes a lot more sense than before, and it doesn't make sense, but I just can't tell what you said wrong." Qi Shixiang stuffed two pieces of wood and said seriously, "But sister is still so good, no one can fool you in the future." ”

Qi Jiuli smiled, naïve, there are many powerful people in this world, not including the unreasonable ones.

The pot became hotter and hotter, the lard was bubbling with oil, and the fragrance gradually spread, and Qi Jiuli heard the sound of Qi Shixiang swallowing saliva.

"Shixiang, when the lard residue is boiled, I'll give you a taste first." Qi Jiuli said with a smile.

"I'm not a child." Qi Shixiang muttered something wrong.

Ten years old is a child, Qi Jiuli secretly thought.

Qi Jiuli didn't boil the lard residue to be particularly old, so he put it out.

"Sister, okay?" Qi Shixiang couldn't wait to get up and walked over, "Eh, sister, you can boil some more oil." ”

"Then it's burnt, and you can't eat the meat when it's burnt." Qi Jiuli's chopsticks picked up a piece of lard residue, blew it and stuffed it into Qi Shixiang's mouth, "How does it taste?" ”

"Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside." Qi Shixiang instinctively replied, inhaling and chewing back and forth, "Sister, it's so fragrant, it's delicious, sister, you can eat a piece too." ”
