Chapter 184: The Imperial Examination Road of the Farmer's Family (11)
Not to mention that there are a lot of vegetables in the garden, because it's July.
The vegetables in the field are growing vigorously.
However, there is a serious shortage of varieties.
There is absolutely no such thing as potatoes and tomatoes.
However, you can see that there are already such things as eggplant beans, and it seems that the history and culture here should be more advanced than that of the Wei and Jin dynasties.
You must know that eggplants, beans, sword beans, lentils and other things were all imported from abroad in the Wei and Jin dynasties.
Of course, it is not called foreign here, it should be called Fanbang.
But they can actually see eggplant sword beans in their fields, which shows that there is already an overseas culture in this era.
I picked two eggplants and a lot of sword beans, and if this thing was stewed with chicken, it would be a messy stew.
Go back and clean up and throw it directly into the pot.
Put the sword beans first, and the eggplant last.
I used another stove to cook a pot of porridge with sorghum rice.
He had discovered that they were supposed to be wheat-growing areas.
Rice-producing areas in the north rather than in the south.
The staple food is mainly flour food, but the wheat they produce here is basically taxed, and they keep some coarse grains to eat.
Basically, there are very few people who can eat white noodles by themselves.
They also have some millet at home, but millet is also used as a valuable food here.
So it is conceivable that there are all kinds of black flour sorghum rice, sorghum noodles and the like at home.
The black-faced steamed buns are still available at home, as long as you put the steamed buns on the pot and heat them.
By the time the old lady and Lu Zhan Xu entered the door, they had already smelled the fragrance of the courtyard.
The three girls, Lu Changmei, Lu Changtang, and Lu Changlan, were startled, and the two younger sisters didn't even have a high pot.
I actually went to cook, which was repaid, once it was burned, it was a terrible thing.
In this era, a wind chill can kill people, let alone get hot.
Not only were the three little girls frightened, but Xu was also frightened.
Just as he was about to enter the stove room, he saw that Lu Changqing had already carried the table and bench directly under the jujube tree in their yard.
The yard at home is actually not small.
Besides, you don't have to eat in the house in July.
By noon, the sun was still quite hot.
"Uncle, aunt, grandmother, you hurry up and wash your hands, I made something delicious today."
The table was placed squarely under the tree, beckoning the two little ones to bring the small benches over.
Then he brought out a large pot of eggplant and beans from the stove to stew chicken, and then brought out steamed buns and sorghum rice porridge.
As a result, Xu and Lu Zhan were almost startled.
Xu hurriedly went over and took it.
"What are you doing here, boy? It's all me and your sister doing it on weekdays. How can you cook? What if it's hot? ”
Old Lady Lu glanced at the herbs hanging under the eaves of the courtyard.
"Changqing, what are you doing here?"
This grandson is now more and more right-minded, and sometimes she can't figure out what is going on in her grandson's heart.
"Grandmother, those are the herbs I picked, and I thought that I had nothing to do anyway, so I went to the mountains to pick herbs and came back, and when the medicine dealers who collected the herbs came, they could exchange some money."
Lu Changqing didn't say that he wanted to study, of course he knew that if he said that the old lady was too uncle, they might think that he was as guilty as before.
In their family's situation, how can they afford to support a scholar.
What he wants to do is to speak by himself, and one day he will save up the money to go to school by himself.
It's better to talk less and do more.
It's better to do something practical.
The old lady didn't say anything, the family washed their hands, sat down to eat, and looked around the table at the bowl of meat.
"What kind of meat is this? Where did it come from? ”
The old lady couldn't help sighing, she ate a meal of rabbit meat yesterday, and another meal of meat today, if she let the neighbors know, she can't say that their family is a loser!
The problem was that the meat looked like chicken, and she was a little worried about whether her grandson had caused the family chicken.
"Grandmother, this is also chicken, and when I was going up the mountain today, a pheasant actually fell from a tree and broke its wings, so I took the opportunity to catch it. Add food to us. ”
Attentively sandwiched two pieces of chicken into Mrs. Lu's bowl.
and put meat on the uncles and aunts, if he didn't clip them.
The eldest aunt didn't dare to put down the chopsticks.
In this family, it is very particular, the old lady does not speak, and the eldest aunt and a few sisters and sisters will never dare to mess around.
Obviously, the top of the food chain is at the old lady's, and the aunt and sisters are at the bottom of the food chain.
He was the one who was clearly inferior to the old lady, so he was the only one who dared to do this.
Although the uncle has the same status as him, the uncle does not dare to protect his wife and his daughter.
At this point, although the uncle is honest, he makes him look down on him.
Because, what kind of man is a man who can't protect his daughter-in-law and children well.
The old lady has nothing to say, and the pheasants caught by her grandson can't be eaten, right?
"Eat, eat, eat!"
The old lady took a bite of the chicken and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at her grandson, this meat was so delicious.
How can this kid still cook?
Lu Changqing immediately understood what the old lady was thinking.
"Grandmother, I am just doing it blindly, and I always secretly look at my aunt and a few sisters on weekdays, so I will draw a scoop according to the gourd. I can't even figure out the order, anyway, it's just a pot of stew.
Is it good to eat grandmother? It's my first time doing it, so don't dislike your grandson. ”
A face of flattery.
Mrs. Lu's heart was even softer.
In the past, the grandson also looked rare, but he was not so obedient and well-behaved.
On weekdays, that's absolutely unreasonable.
is obviously a country child, but he has put out the pedigree of a scholar.
This kid wants to read!
And it seems that this kid is not dead.
I didn't see the herbs under the eaves.
What are you going to do with the money from the sale of these herbs?
She's not blind, so she doesn't know what this kid is going to do!
It's just that this kid doesn't talk about it now, and puts it in his heart.
It seems that I am still a little intimidated by the matter of reading.
The old lady looked at her grandson who had changed a lot, and sighed, it seems that this child is still not convinced!
The family happily ate a meal, and the whole pheasant weighed four or five pounds.
Lu Changqing is not as good at living as Mrs. Lu and her aunt Xu, the whole chicken is not left at all, and it is all stewed in one pot.
So everyone ate this time with a round belly.
Especially the five sisters.
Lu Changqing didn't forget these sisters and sisters at all while eating by himself, and by the way, he put them in everyone's bowls.
Of course, he didn't forget the old lady and the aunt.
Anyway, everything that can be eaten is full.
Lu Zhan smashed his oily mouth.
I suddenly felt that the happiest days in my life were probably these two days.
I had meat to eat for two days in a row, and I was really blessed with my nephew.
