Chapter Ninety-Three: Homemade soap, zongzi turmoil
When I got home, I threw the sticks in the puddle in the yard, and threw the pigweed to the gilt, and the rest was taken to the house. Take down a wooden board from the top of the broken water tank, chop up the pig vegetables, add water to the iron pot, and wait for the boil to add the pig vegetables.
Yan Nian thought that he should build a stove outside for cooking pig dishes.
The two Xiaobao had already poured out the apricot in the basket, and Yan Nian saw that Yanyan was grinning and drooling with her eyes closed.
My brother took a bite of the apricot and grinned and said, "Mother, this apricot is quite delicious." ”
Hearing her brother say that it was delicious, Yanyan also put the apricot in her hand to her small mouth, and took a small bite carefully, Yan Nian looked at Yanyan and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
Xiao Yanyan nodded, "It's delicious, sweet and sour." ”
Seeing that the two little buns like to eat, Yan Nian wondered if this apricot could go to the town and sell it for some money? My two little treasures like to eat, and others will like them.
Thinking of this, Yan Nian poured the pig vegetables into the pot, covered the pot, took the sickle and walked to Dongshan again, telling the two children to come back in a while while while walking.
Soon, Yan Nian picked a basket full of yellow and clear apricots and returned home.
As soon as the door was opened, there was a smell of pig food in the house, Yan Nian hurriedly put down the basket, lifted the lid of the pot, and took out the pig vegetables.
Set it aside to cool, just wait to feed the pigs.
Seeing that it was already dark, Yan Nian hurriedly cooked.
Chop up the leftover sauce beef that the two children ate at noon and put it in the hot white rice that had just been cooked, and Yan Nian put a little lard in the rice.
Seeing the two little treasures eating with relish, Yan Nian also drank some gruel with peace of mind.
After eating, Yan Nian put the honey locust he picked back in the basin, smashed it vigorously with a rolling pin, found a rag and wrapped the honey locust in it, and vigorously wrung out the juice of the honey locust and put it in a small basin.
Looking at this green pot of juice, Yan Nian was excited, and he wanted to try the effect of this soaphorn.
Hurriedly open the hair, put a basin of warm water, soak the hair, and rub the honey locust juice on the head and quickly rub it open.
Ah! Yan Nian was surprised to find that the hair she had washed with this thing was black and smooth, and it was very refreshing.
After washing the hair of the two Xiaobao, looking at the smooth hair washed by the Xiaobao, Yan Nian asked Xiaobao happily: "How do you feel?" ”
Nuo Nuo touched his freshly washed hair and said with a smile: "Mother really has a way, my hair hasn't been so comfortable for a long time." ”
Yan Nian soaked the clothes in water again, poured some of the juice of the honey locust and stirred it well, and waited until a quarter of an hour later, Yan Nian went to wash the clothes again, feeling as good as the cleaning liquid he used in his previous life.
Looking at all this, Yan Nian thought that his family really didn't have to go to the town to spend money to buy soap powder in the future.
On second thought, this honey locust tree is very good, but what if you don't use this honey locust? I saw that one on the mountain, and I couldn't help but let others pick the honey locust.
Yan Nian wondered if he could plant a few honey locust trees in his yard?
This toss is already very late, and the two little guys have already fallen asleep very easily, Yan Nian went to the stove room to look at the soaked glutinous rice, thinking that he should go to sleep quickly, and he will get up early tomorrow to make zongzi and sell it.
The next day, Yan Nian got up when the chicken crowed, and he couldn't sleep even if he thought about making zongzi in the morning.
got up, got dressed, went to the ground, controlled the glutinous rice and purified the water, poured new water and brought it back to the house, put it on the kang table, and began to wrap the zongzi with the help of an oil lamp.
With the experience of the last time, it didn't take until dawn, a wooden bucket of zongzi was wrapped, and the tea eggs and soup were packed in a wooden basin and sat on top of the wooden barrel.
Everything was ready, Yan Nian cooked some more rice, fried some shredded potatoes, took a simple bite by himself, and put the food on the lid of the pot and covered it tightly, waiting for the little treasures to get up for breakfast.
After doing this, Yan Nian changed into new clothes and shoes, gathered his hair, and hurriedly went out.
In the morning, the sun had not yet come out, the air in the mountains was fresh, and a little breeze blew Yan Nian's body so comfortable.
Yan Nian put the wooden barrel at the bus stop, covered a basket of apricots with artemisia grass on the side of the road, pinched the thirty copper plates brought out from home, and stood there quietly waiting for the carriage of Hua Fugui to come.
Yan Nian didn't want to sell zongzi in the village today, so he wanted to go to the town and sell this basket of apricots directly.
Soon, I saw people gradually coming, looking at the barrels around Yan Nian and asking what it was?
Yan Nian didn't want to say it at first, but then he was asked tightly, so he told people: "Go sell zongzi and eggs." ”
Someone asked Yan Nian: "How did you sell it?" I happened to go to the market to buy some rice dumplings, and I didn't bother to pack them at home this year. ”
"Three copper plates for one and two copper plates for eggs." Yan Nian said casually.
Someone muttered: "Buy it from her, let's take the car to the town and spend two copper plates, with these two copper plates, you can buy three zongzi in Yan Nian's hands, and you look at the zongzi that Yan Nianbao is very big and sincere." ”
When someone says this, there is a response, "Well, to hear you say this, really, then I don't have anything else to do when I go to town, so I won't go." ”
Then he said to Yan Nian: "In this way, how about you get me three copper plates and you sell me ten?" ”
Yan Nian thought about it and nodded: "Okay, if the villagers live, I'll sell you ten." ”
A few people next to him saw that Yan Nian had sold zongzi like this, and they also gathered around, "Yan Nian, pick up twenty for me and give you six copper plates." ”
Yan Nian began to pick up zongzi for everyone again, and he didn't let go of the tea eggs, and took them away like a swarm.
Looking at the empty wooden barrel, Yan Nian smiled helplessly, and looked at the basket of apricots beside him, Yan Nian thought that he must go to the town today to try whether this apricot is good to sell.
But the rich mother-in-law who was sitting in the car next to her was unhappy, originally these people were going to take the car to the town to catch the market, bought Yan Nian's zongzi eggs, and went home with the zongzi one after another, and there were only two women in the car who wanted to go to the town to buy some ornaments.
Yan Nian stepped forward and asked Fugui to wait for him for a while, he wanted to go home to deliver a wooden bucket and a basin, and he would come back soon to take a car to the town.
Hua Fugui promised, "Okay, you go and drive back, and the car will leave immediately." ”
Yan Nian responded and ran home with a bucket.
He shoved the barrel into the gate and turned back and ran back down the road.
When I ran to the station, I saw that my basket of apricots was scattered on the road.
Yan Nian looked at the apricot that was trampled on, and looked up at the few people and women in the car: "Auntie, do you see who did this?" ”
Several people in the car turned their heads to look at Hua Fugui's wife, Zhang, but did not speak.
Yan Nian also asked Zhang: "Auntie, do you see who did it?" ”
"How do I know who did it? You didn't let me look at it! After speaking, he glared at Yan Nian.
Yan Nian thought about this, what should I do? This is a basket of apricots, which I picked up with all my hard work last night, and it was ruined like this!
Shaking his head, Yan Nian squatted down and was about to pick up apricots, when he suddenly saw a few apricot skins and apricot juice hanging on the soles of Zhang's shoes.
Now Yan Nian understood the reason why the women were looking at Zhang's, got up and stepped forward unhurriedly, pulling Zhang's family, "You, pick it up for me!" ”
"What are you dragging me for?" Zhang wanted to break free from Yan Nian's pull, and shouted while moving his body into the car.
