Chapter 192: Farming

Brown sugar water is already a luxury tonic for ordinary farmers, Jiang Huxin was only fortunate to drink it a few times during confinement, but he didn't expect to come to Liu Lan's house today to help with the autumn harvest, and it was so good to eat it on the first day, not only brown sugar water, but also eggs in it, Jiang Huxin was stunned.

"Big sister, stop it." Jiang Huxin saw that Liu Lan's action of knocking eggs had not stopped, looking at the undulating yellow and clear eggs in a large pot of brown sugar water, Jiang Huxin hurriedly pulled Liu Lan, who was still going to take the eggs.

"Second sister-in-law, my mother-in-law said, one for each person." Liu Lan smiled and took Jiang Huxin's hand away, and then knocked, "I'll count the heads carefully, and three more will be fine." ”

Liu Lan neatly beat three more eggs, then covered the pot and waited for the eggs to be cooked.

The water in the other pot also boiled, Liu Lan and Jiang Huxin put the wrapped dumplings inside, full of a large pot, the dumplings floated up after cooking, and the water surface was full of pleasing white fat figures, Jiang Huxin tried to restrain himself on the side, but he still couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Since Zhang'er's accident, the family has not eaten a dry meal, and the white noodles are even more delusional, that is, according to the conditions of the previous family, they will eat a meal of pure white noodles dumplings during the New Year.

After Jiang Huxin looked at the food, he thought of the mother-in-law and the children at home, this time the little ones didn't come, after all, they couldn't help much, and the little sister also stayed to help her mother-in-law take care of Zhang'er together.

Liu Lan knows her second sister-in-law, and she has always been very kind in her heart, looking at her expression of wanting to eat but not bearing, she smiled and comforted, "Second sister-in-law, mother, they will wait for you to cook a few meals for them when you go back, the autumn harvest I took back last time must be enough to eat." ”

Jiang Huxin nodded when he heard this, "Okay." ”

My mother-in-law will definitely not be willing to eat well, and when she is busy with the eldest sister's family, she will go back to cook meals with her sister-in-law, and she will have to make up for it.

The dumplings were cooked, and the eggs in the brown sugar water were also solidified, Liu Lan scooped a bowl of brown sugar water, scooped up an egg, and put the bowl on the kitchen table, "Qinghe, you come to eat first." ”

"I'll give Qinghe a bowl of dumplings for you to cool first." Jiang Huxin fished out more than a dozen white fat dumplings and put them in front of Luo Qinghe.

"Thank you, auntie, thank you, auntie." Luo Qinghe smiled and thanked him, then took the spoon and ate it, "I'll wait to deliver the rice together, and then go to pick up the ears of rice." ”

"Okay." Liu Lan smiled and agreed.

When Luo Qinghe finished eating the eggs in the bowl, drank all the brown sugar water, and ate three more dumplings, his stomach was already a little full, "Auntie, I want to pack this and go to the field with you to eat." ”

Liu Lan smiled and put Luo Qinghe's dumpling bowl into the basket, and then handed the basket to Luo Qinghe, "Nuo, yours, wait until you finish eating the dumplings, this basket can still be used for you to pick up rice ears." ”

Luo Qinghe took the basket and nodded.

Although there are dumplings and brown sugar eggs to eat, there are too many people, there are many portions, and there is cold boiled water, Liu Lan and Jiang Huxin each picked a load, Luo Qinghe carried the basket, took Ah Hei, and followed the two of them to the field together.

When he arrived in the field, looking at the golden rice, and hearing the occasional happy laughter of the villagers who were busy working in the field, Luo Qinghe sighed for a while, for the peasant family, there is nothing more important than the autumn harvest.

Luo Qinghe was a little sad while she was happy, and she remembered that she was inspired to learn from the rice planting method of modern sowing and transplanting technology.

In order to plant, I opened up a small piece of seedling land in the backyard, went to the pond to dig silt to mix to improve the fertility of the land, and then made the land I wanted to use into the form of a modern paddy field, and transplanted the rice seedlings that had successfully raised the seedlings......

Luo Qinghe was busy embroidering and making female red, and he also neglected rice, but his eldest brother, second brother, and uncle didn't leave their experimental fields behind every time they came back to serve the fields, and they were all carefully served, but they were either rotten roots, or yellow leaves, and some of them grew and successfully set ears, but they didn't grow very well, and they didn't grow as well as the dense rice planted in the field.

Luo Qinghe has no intention of telling this farming skill that he thinks is very productive, after all, the experiment was not successful, how can the farmer attach so much importance to the field, how can the junior mess around and take the land for experiments.

"Father, mother, it's time to eat." Liu Lan put down her burden and shouted.

Luo Laotian took the lead in stopping the movements in his hand, beckoned Liu Guirong to rest, and then cut the rice after lunch.

Every family eats three meals when they are busy farming, and in some fields next door to Luo Laotian's house, someone also brought lunch.

"Lao Tian, it seems that your family will complete the autumn harvest earlier than last year, this in-laws are really good, so many people have come to help." An old man next door who was about the same age as Luo Laotian said with a smile.

"Haha, yes, it may be done in three or four days this year." Luo Laotian smiled and said, "The shops in the town are rented, and the money is all silver every day, so if we are willing to close the door, we will bother our in-laws to help." ”

The people around listened to it and understood that the autumn harvest was a few days, not to mention that there was no money to make when it was closed, and the rent was not to be paid, so people were reluctant.

A group of people were busy eating their own meals, and they didn't pay much attention to what Luo Laotian's family was eating.

But Liu Guirong sat down a few times, and when he saw the food, his shocked mouth couldn't close, white-flour dumplings, and brown sugar eggs, which were also too good to eat.

"Dad, eat quickly." Liu Lan smiled and served dumplings to everyone, "After eating, there are still a lot." ”

Liu Guirong sandwiched a few dumplings and put them in his mouth, the rich taste of lard filled his mouth, the Chinese cabbage was full of oil juice, the lard residue was tough, and he chewed a few mouthfuls of oil flowers, not to mention more energy.

"Aunt Osmanthus, you eat so well, and it's pure white dumplings." A woman saw the lunch of Luo Laotian's family with sharp eyes, and said with red eyes.

"I'm tired of my in-laws' help, the food has to be richer, and I will eat a little better all year round during the busy farming and the New Year, and the daughter-in-law of Ngawang will eat well, and there will be meat slices, and we will also wrap some oil residue and cabbage filling." Wang Guihua said with a smile.

When Ngawang's daughter-in-law heard that it was not meat filling, her heart was much more balanced, and the people around her didn't speak, only the sound of sucking and eating.

Liu Lan, Jiang Huxin and Luo Qinghe made more than 200 dumplings, and they really managed to take care of it, and Luo Laotian and the others ate almost twenty of them alone.

After eating the dumplings, Liu Lan took out the brown sugar eggs and said in a low voice, "These should be drunk as water." ”
