Chapter 18: The Village People Come to Learn
The ecology of this era is good, jackals, tigers and leopards are rampant, if it is a deep mountain and old forest, she does not dare to go. It is said that it is a back mountain, but in fact it is a small slope, and I have not heard the cry of any wild beasts on weekdays.
There is an extra tofu dish at home, but it is still not enough to eat!
After Lin Shuqing put down the things in his hand, he carried the basket on his back and went up the back mountain.
The road on the mountain was not easy to walk, and there were few paths that people walked out, only patches of thorny dead grass, scraping her trouser legs and hooking a few strands of twine. Fortunately, there are no snakes, insects, rats and ants gathering in this season, otherwise it would be frightening to step on a snake while walking.
Lin Shuqing turned around and saw a lot of wild chrysanthemums blooming on the mountain, so she picked the flowers, threw them behind the basket, and prepared to take them home to dry and make tea.
She also pulled out a cluster of chrysanthemum seedlings with roots, ready to move to her bare yard, anyway, there is no vegetables, what is not planted?
Lin Shuqing couldn't do anything about catching prey, but seeing that there were many fish swimming in the puddles on the mountain, he thought about bringing a bigger net or a whole boom to catch it another day.
It's also good to take home and cook fish soup.
Lin Shuqing then found a few wild chestnut trees, the chestnuts were just ripe, and some of the protective shells outside had exploded, and a lot of chestnuts fell on the ground.
She hurried to pick up the chestnuts on the ground, and pulled down a lot of chestnuts hanging from the branches, and collected the chestnuts of two trees, and the basket was almost full.
Seeing that the sun had set to the west, she couldn't stay in the mountains anymore, she had to hurry home!
Carrying a basket full of harvests, Lin Shuqing hurriedly took a shortcut down the mountain. She was in such a hurry that she didn't notice anything beside her.
Looking at her figure walking far away, a female voice came from the side of a pile of dead stones and weeds: "I'm scared to death!" How is Lin Shuqing, this stinky girl! ”
"Why don't you stay at home? What to hang out on the hills? ”
A male voice suddenly appeared next to him and asked, "Who is she?" ”
"Oh, it's just an unlucky thing that kills my father and mother! Leave her alone! ”
“…… The recipe for saving wheat in your village was taken out by her? There was surprise in the man's voice.
"That's a good recipe, but too many people know it. If we really save the wheat, it will be of great use......" The man muttered for a long time.
Then the woman laughed disappreliantly: "She is a member of our Lin family, and this recipe is our Lin family!" If Lang Jun likes it, I'll give it to you directly, as for those countrymen, if you don't let them use it anymore, it's ......"
"Can this be done?"
"Naturally!"
"Then, thank you lady!" There was a smile in the man's voice.
Then, there was another sound of grass and trees rubbing.
Lin Shuqing was completely unaware of all this, and happily went home with the things in the bamboo back basket. shouted to his younger brothers and sisters to come out and wash the flowers and chestnuts, and spread the flowers on the big dustpan, ready to be air-dried.
After the chestnuts were washed on the outside of the thorn shells, she made another cut on each of them, ready to throw them into the pot to cook.
Several children in the family were greedy for food, and after seeing the things thrown into the pot, Lin Zhili couldn't wait to ask, "Sister, what is this?" Is it tasty? ”
Lin Shuqing was busy scratching chestnuts in her hands, and her face was full of smiles: "Delicious, sweet and soft!" ”
Hearing the sweet words, the eyes of several children lit up.
The children in the village, if anyone has a piece of candy in their hands during the New Year, it is a valuable item that can be displayed for half a month. I am reluctant to finish eating it all day, so I have to hide it in my pocket and lick a few bites from time to time.
The other children are even more greedy!
Hearing that the things in the pot in front of them were sweet, several people did not doubt him, and immediately helped my sister with her work.
Chestnuts are a good thing, rich in nutrients, tonifying the spleen and stomach, but eating too much will not work, it will cause flatulence.
So Lin Shuqing didn't cook much, she cooked some for the children to taste, and the rest was eaten carefully in the future.
The water in the pot was almost dry, and the chestnuts were fragrant and soft. Lin Shuqing took a chopstick and inserted it near the boiled hole.
It's so soft that it's ready to eat!
So he scooped up the chestnuts one by one, put them in the cold water next to them, and then distributed them to his younger brothers and sisters.
specially picked the softest one of them, peeled off the shell, and handed it to Lin Zhisheng, who was also drooling on the side. The chestnuts are boiled and glutinous, and children can eat some of them!
Hurriedly boiled another pot and sent it to Uncle Du's house.
At noon the next day, Du Dachuan came back from the city with his youngest son with the burden and said happy words to Lin Shuqing.
"As soon as I went, a lot of people came to buy my tofu! Do you remember the big girl who sold fish yesterday? ”
"You said that this tofu and fish are delicious together, she went home and cooked a pot, and her grandson, who doesn't like to eat, ate three bowls!
"And the restaurant, I also came to ask if I could provide a few plates......
Lin Shuqing smiled when she heard this, and said, "Uncle Du, I made a few more plates of tofu and sent them to the people in the village, and asked them if they would like to come to school?" ”
The houses in the village have long been repaired, and there is not much farm work when it is cold, except for the wheat in the field, every household is idle.
I heard that Li Zheng sent someone there to ask if he was willing to learn to make tofu, and he also shared a piece of tofu to eat!
How can anyone not go to this matter of picking up food and craftsmanship for nothing?
After a while, the daughters-in-law and strong men in the village all gathered outside the courtyard of Lizheng's house.
Wen Liang was busy commanding: "I have tofu here, each family has a piece, steamed, boiled and fried, whatever you want!" ”
"This recipe for making tofu was given to Du Dachuan and Lin Sanlang's girls in our village by the nobles of the capital, and they helped the nobles on the road, and the nobles taught the two of them the recipe for making tofu......"
Li Zheng said to the people in the village according to Lin Shuqing's words.
When the people in the village heard this, they were more or less envious. Why were the nobles from the capital met by them, the village is so big, why can't they meet them?
"Every household in the village can come out with one person to learn this recipe for making tofu, no money, you have to do three months of work for them, after you finish learning, you can do it yourself or with Du Dachuan and them, you can do it yourself!"
Hearing this, there was another thunderclap in the crowd.
Don't charge money, just do three months! Seeing that the weather is going to be cold, there is no work to do, and there is such a good thing as learning a craft, how can you not agree?
I immediately asked when I would learn.
I saw Wen Liang clear his throat again, and said with a straight face: "You have to listen to me!" Only one person from each family can come out of this recipe! I learned not to pass it on! Only for home use! If you want to sell tofu, you can sell it casually! ”
"If I find out that anyone who has learned to sell and go out, it will be a sinner in our village! I'm going to send you to the government!" ”
"Be quick with your hands and feet when you do your work, don't think about being lazy! Otherwise, you're welcome too! ”
"The two of them are kind-hearted, which is a great thing for our village......
Looking at Lin Shuqing with a smile on his face standing next to Lizheng, some people think that what Lin Shuqing can do to help the nobleman must be the light of Du Dachuan. When this broken life was not good, Du Dachuan's family helped her a lot.
