Chapter 13: There is bread to eat
"Although Lin Shuqing is a woman, I have seen this girl in the past few days, this girl is very capable. In the future, if there are any difficulties in the family, they will have to help them, and they will be better to the brothers and sisters of the Lin family. ”
"Don't look at the fact that there are no adults in the family, this one girl is more effective than the strong men in the whole village! This girl is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, maybe there is something important to ask for in the future! ”
Wen Liang bothered to say these words.
When he was young, he had the honor to meet the young lady of the high-ranking family on the street, and her demeanor and temperament were not inferior to that of men. Unlike their country families, they gave birth to a daughter and raised them until they were teenagers, and they got married after taking some bride price.
He looked at Lin Shuqing and was not bad, Lin Sanlang was raised by him, presumably Wu Wan'er must have learned a lot of things in the official master, and he also learned this way to save the wheat, so that he could raise such a daughter.
As for the married family, if he had a useful son, he would not be so worried.
Wen Bo has never been concerned about these things, and his left ear goes in and out of his right ear, so he said perfunctorily: "I know, Dad." ”
Wen Liang sighed, and suddenly felt that he was aging too fast.
Lin Shuqing was not clear about the conversation between the father and son, so she went home and ate a nest to take care of her younger siblings to sleep. In the next village, she taught people to sprinkle earth and wood ash water, and although everyone also stuffed her with food, it really tired her.
As for tomorrow, she has new plans. Although there is food at home, there is always a shortage of oil, rice, sauce and vinegar and other things. Although you can eat enough to eat wowotou, you can eat too much and people are uncomfortable without vegetables.
Several children are also growing up, how can they just eat food?
So he scooped a few scoops of beans from the grain bag, washed them, and soaked them in water.
When Lin Shuqing was doing this, Lin Shuqing kept watching from the side, and asked curiously, "Sister, why are you soaking beans?" ”
It's not the time to cook now, but if you do it tomorrow, I'm afraid it's too early.
"I'll make you something delicious tomorrow!" Lin Shuqing responded.
Hearing what to eat, Lin Shuqiao naturally stretched her eyebrows and eyes. She still remembers the taste of the chicken she ate yesterday, and will she cook it for them tomorrow?
"Sister, then I'll get up early tomorrow to help you!" Lin Shuqiao said happily.
"Good!"
Before dawn, several children got up, thinking about helping Lin Shuqing work. But there was no land to plant at home, and the vegetables in the yard were all killed by the hail, and several people were also standing empty-handed, with some unease on their faces.
"Let's eat first, my sister will make cakes for you to eat, and you will be busy later!" Lin Shuqing said.
He took out some flour from the grain bag, beat two eggs into it, mixed it with water and flour, and the flour was from the grain sent by the aunt of the Li Zheng family, although there was only a small bag, but it was all finely ground.
She simply kneaded some dough and rolled it out with a wooden stick to form a round cake. Spread a thin layer of chicken fat to the pan and start frying the pancakes.
The white and soft dough was fried in the pan until golden brown on both sides, crispy in one bite, and extremely soft inside, layer after layer, and several children ate with smiles on their faces.
Lin Zhishu chewed the cake in his mouth, feeling that this day was better than when his father and mother were still there. On weekdays, when cooking at home, my mother will drip one or two drops of oil after cooking, and there is basically no oil foam in the food distributed to the bowl.
It's delicious, but he's really a little worried: "Sister, save some and make it!" The fine grain is kept for you and Zhisheng, and there is little fine grain at home, so we can eat some coarse grain. ”
Lin Shuqing was busy with the last two cakes in the frying pan, preparing to bring a few to Aunt Hu's family, and when she heard Lin Zhishu's words, a gentle and somewhat helpless smile appeared on her face.
"You are still young, and your task now is to eat enough not to starve yourself and grow well. In the future, the family's food will be handed over to my sister to worry about! ”
Even when these words were said, the faces of the children were not much relieved. It seems that she will have to prove herself with her strength in the future!
After breakfast, Lin Shuqing took a few younger brothers and sisters to Aunt Hu's house with cakes.
At dawn this day, when Lin Shuqing went, there was cooking smoke floating in Aunt Hu's courtyard, so she shouted at the gate of the courtyard: "Auntie, are you there?" I'm Shu Qing, I want to borrow your stone mill for use! ”
"Yes! Here it comes! So saying, the people immediately came to the courtyard.
Seeing that the children of the Lin family were all here, Hu Hongmei was surprised for a moment at first, but immediately welcomed warmly with a smile: "Have you sisters and brothers eaten?" If you don't eat, come to your aunt's house to eat, and your aunt will boil eggs for you. ”
"No, auntie, we ate it. I didn't have anything good at home, so I brought you some bread. Lin Shuqing said and handed over the basket.
There were six neat pancakes on top, not too big, but more or less her friendship.
Looking at the things in the basket, Hu Shi was stunned for a moment, this is a fried cake in oil, and it seems that a lot has been added. If her daughter did it, she would definitely drag her and beat her, saying that she was a loser.
But this was sent by Lin Yatou, her family is already difficult, how can she accept these?
"This ...... You take this yourself to give your younger brothers and sisters a tooth sacrifice, although you have earned a lot of food, you don't know what to do next year, but you have to be careful! Hu Shi pushed the basket back again, she couldn't get these children's things.
"Auntie, we've eaten this for a few mornings! I came here after eating, this cake is still hot and crispy, you can eat one and taste it! I went to the next village to sell fertilizer and collected a lot of grain, don't worry. Lin Shuqing pushed over again, and lowered her voice in the last few words.
Seeing this, Hu Hongmei couldn't excuse herself. shouted to the hall: "Jiaojiao, take this cake and eat it." Your father is working, give two to your father, and the rest you and your brother can only eat one! ”
Du Guerlan immediately rushed out of the house, carried the basket and ran in quickly.
She didn't want to see Lin Shuqing!
Yesterday, her mother counted her down, saying that she was as big as Lin Shuqing, and she was useless.
Where is generally older, it is clear that Lin Shuqing is two years older than her, and she learned the recipe from her mother, and she didn't create it herself, if her mother was ......
Before she could finish speaking, she was beaten by her father.
This hatred has been settled with Lin Shuqing!
After Du Guerlan entered the house, she took a piece of cake and bit it resentfully, and she was stunned for a moment this time, it was quite delicious. Thinking that this cake cost Lin Shuqing a lot of money, she was still a little unsatisfied after eating it a few times.
shouted to his brother's room: "Brother, Lin Shuqing has sent cakes to our family, my mother asked me to send them over, do you want to eat them?" ”
The voice on the other side of the door seemed to be a little annoyed and disturbed, and directly refused: "Don't eat, you eat yourself!" ”
Hearing this, a triumphant smile appeared on Du Jiaolan's face.
It's not that she didn't ask, it's her brother who refused!
