Chapter 94: Can't Break Corn?

Wang Tiedan drank the porridge and said inarticulately: "Since it is a field holiday, it is for us to come back for the autumn harvest, how can we disobey the yang and the yin?" ”

Although I don't understand what Yang Fengyin means, Li can probably guess that it should mean that he will always be unhappy.

She didn't persuade her, but whispered: "Then you should pay attention then, if you are too tired, don't do it, rest more." ”

After the family had breakfast, they went to the field early.

The soil in Lan Village is not good, and the yield is not high, but it is slightly better to grow corn, so every household grows corn.

Corn can be eaten by people, or it can be sold for money for other things.

There were already quite a few people breaking corn in the fields, carrying baskets on their backs and holding a pointed horn-like thing in their hands.

Stick the horn on the tip of the corn and pull it down to peel the husk clean, revealing the golden kernels inside.

Then he threw it on his back, and a piece of corn was collected.

Ordinary croppers can break several in a minute, and Wang Fengshou works in the field all year round, so he is naturally a good hand.

Although his back is a little hunched and his eyes are not very good, the speed of breaking corn is still okay.

He collected two rows of each man, opened his bow to the left and right, and in a short time the basket was full.

Li's, Wang Qiushan and Wang Tiedan each received one line each, and Jiang and the old lady stayed at home to cook.

After Wang Tiedan collected more than 20 of them, he only felt that his palms were grinding painfully, his hands were obviously used to hold the pen, and now they are used to harvest corn, which is simply overkill.

After reluctantly collecting a few more, Li's side said loudly: "Mother's place is already full, or you can help carry the corn down first!" ”

The terrain here is not good, the mountains are undulating, there is not much flat land, and most of the corn is on the mountainside.

The corn had to be harvested, carried down the hill little by little, and then pulled home by a wagon.

In the past, he took Li's back basket and put it on his back, Wang Tiedan staggered down the mountain, he knew that his mother wanted him to rest for a while.

When passing by the Li family's cornfield, I saw Li Baoping and Wang Xiao also harvesting corn, and Li Baozhen was playing on the side.

The Li family has little land, and Li Baoping can do it alone on weekdays.

Today, Wang Xiaobian said that he wanted to help, saying that he had seen and understood.

Li Baoping wondered in her heart, when she was in the Wang family before, she washed and brushed, worked in the field and did everything, and she still needed to see it?

He felt sorry for what she had happened to before, and he didn't plan to let her really help him much, so he only symbolically took her a small basket.

Li Baoping alone has already received a big cut in front, Wang Xiao fell behind, and took this sharp horn to peel corn like him in corn, but she couldn't peel it well, even if she peeled it, her strength was very small, and she couldn't break the shell.

While she was working, she sighed: "Who knows that the food on the plate is hard!" ”

Wang Tiedan looked at her clumsy movements, and couldn't help but twist her eyebrows, but she had only left the Wang family for a few days, and she couldn't even break corn?

It seems that Li Baoping really spoils her!

In the past, she broke corn faster than herself, and no matter how pampered she was, she wouldn't forget it!

He even carried a lot of corn to the bottom of the mountain, and when he passed by the Li family's land, he looked once, and every time he saw Wang Xiao at the end, as if he was playing and not working at all.

He pursed his lips, and he didn't know what Li Baoping liked about her.

The sun was getting stronger and stronger, and it was almost noon, and people in the village were bringing lunch one after another.

Wang Tiedan was so hungry that he couldn't keep looking at the road while carrying corn.

Soon saw Wang Yan coming with a kettle in one hand and a basket in the other, he was disappointed for a while, and he didn't know what the third aunt was doing, he was about to starve to death if he didn't deliver food so late.

Wang Yan glanced at him and shouted halfway up the mountain: "Sister Xiaoxiao, it's time to eat!" ”

Li Baoping poured the corn on her back into his basket and led her down the mountain together.

Wang Tiedan looked at this scene, and only snorted lightly, he looked very disdainful, the young couple who became close to each other did not see the public, so close, it was shameless.

Many families in the village were having lunch in a clearing at the bottom of the mountain, and Wang Yan took out the food in the basket, three bowls of white rice, four side dishes, and a cabbage and tofu soup.

The side dishes are stir-fried shredded pork with dried tofu, shredded lettuce, fried shredded pork with onions, and boiled cabbage, which are the most common ingredients, but after the hands of the great chef of Minqing, naturally every color and flavor are complete.

Wang Tiedan took a look, no wonder Wang Yan, a little girl, didn't leave because she was in other people's homes, and her life was so good.

I don't know what the third aunt has made today, since she has to work, she naturally has to eat well to have strength.

Soon Wang Chun's girls came, and Lao Yuan shouted at him: "Brother, it's time to eat." ”

Pouring the corn on his back on their corn pile, Wang Tiedan clapped his hands and found a flat place to sit down.

Wang Chun took out the food, boiled tofu, boiled cabbage, boiled potatoes, all boiled.

He twisted his eyebrows: "That's how to eat it!" ”

His father, Wang Fengshou, also came down at this time, and he calmly picked up the bowl and drank a large mouthful of vegetable porridge: "Eat quickly, I have to work in the afternoon in a while." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at them with a white smile, what is the great thing about being able to eat some meat, and it is necessary to put it here to show off.

Doesn't she seem to be shabby in other people's homes?

A number of people who were working on Wang Xiao's side came over and said, "This is the meal cooked by the new chef in your family, how much silver does it cost to invite such a person to cook?" ”

"Your family's food costs a lot of silver a month, it's so good to eat."

"If one day our family can eat meat and oil like this, even if I die, I will be content."

……

Listening to what they said to me, Wang Xiao couldn't help but smile: "It's all ordinary dishes, if you don't dislike them, come and try them?" ”

It's all from the villagers, even if you are greedy, you can't eat other people's lunch!

So even if Wang Xiao persuaded him repeatedly, no one stepped forward to eat their dishes.

However, Wang Chun was not polite at all, and came over with a smile: "That sister, I'm welcome!" ”

As she spoke, she reached out and took the plate of fried shredded pork with the most meat, and put it on their side.

Wang Xiao didn't speak, anyway, the remaining dishes were enough for her and Li Baoping brothers.

Wang Tiedan was originally hard and didn't want to eat it, but seeing Wang Chun and them using their hands, a plate of vegetables was about to be eaten, and he couldn't help it, so he took a pair of chopsticks and tasted it.

He immediately regretted this taste, he should have eaten it earlier, and there was only so much left.
