Chapter 265: Preparing to Make Glutinous Rice Dumplings

Since Luo Ying became pregnant, Liu Yifan didn't let Luo Ying do anything, and Luo Ying also completely lived a corrupt life of stretching out her hands to eat and open her mouth.

The matter of giving the literacy class an hour of math class every day was vetoed by Liu Yifan. Under Luo Ying's arguments and coquettishness, Liu Yifan only promised Luo Ying to teach addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to his younger brothers and sisters, Quanfu, Liu Dabao, Liu Chunxiao and others.

It is a well-known thing that Luo Ying will not be a female celebrity, so Grandma Li and Grandma Niu contracted the clothes, pants, belly pockets and so on of the unborn baby, knowing that Luo Ying is rich now and will not use bad materials, so they all buy good soft fabrics.

Liu Erya, who hasn't returned home for a long time, also came back, I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and he has grown a lot taller, but this weight is ......

"Erya, you have to pay attention, it's not good to wear clothes if you're too fat, and it's not good for your health when you're old in the future." Luo Ying kindly reminded.

"Sister-in-law, I know everything you said, but ...... There are so many delicious things that I can't help it! ”

Originally, her parents spoiled her, but now the conditions at home are better, and they are more indulgent to her in this regard, Liu Erya herself is a foodie, she can't control her mouth, she usually learns embroidery with the embroidery girl in the factory, and she doesn't have to step on her legs.

"Then you have to move more, now you are still young, exercise more, lose weight quickly, and when you are older, your metabolism is slow, even if you exercise, you will lose weight slowly." Luo Ying said, "By the way, how did you learn over there?" ”

Liu Erya took out the burden and opened it, and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the belly pocket I made for my nephew, do you look good?" ”

"You embroidered it?" Luo Ying asked and watched.

"yes!" Liu Erya muttered and said, "Sister-in-law, embroidery is too difficult, it's so boring!" Sitting there all day is a sin! I don't want to study again. In fact, she didn't want to study for a long time, but Liu Dayou and his family felt that this was an opportunity that others couldn't ask for, so they forcibly let her stay there to study.

"And what do you want to learn?"

"Hmm...... Sister-in-law, how about I learn to do business with you? ”

Luo Ying doesn't know how to do business, but she just has something in her mind that is thousands of years ahead, but she can't say it.

Luo Ying said: "If you really don't want to learn, next year you will go to the literacy class to follow the literacy and writing, and then learn to calculate accounts, your father and your mother are now selling bean sprouts every day, you can also help them do housework at home, so that they can be easier." ”

"Well, sister-in-law, I know, you have to help me tell my mother when the time comes, don't learn embroidery."

"Okay, don't worry."

"Well, thank you, sister-in-law."

As soon as she heard that she didn't need to learn embroidery, Liu Erya grinned.

So many things have happened, and she has lived in the county for more than half a year, Liu Erya's horizons have broadened a lot, and people have become more sensible, so Luo Ying is also willing to support her.

"Young lady, Old Man Li just sent ten catties of glutinous rice, saying that he was afraid that our family would not be prepared." Hong came over and said.

"Glutinous rice? What to do with glutinous rice? Luo Ying was confused.

"It's November now, and I'm going to make sweet wine at the beginning of next month at the latest, Mr. Li said, this is what their family planted themselves this year, so you don't have to buy it."

The old man Li that Hong said is Grandpa Li, and he is blessed with his grandfather.

In the past, everyone was poor, glutinous rice and polished rice were a luxury that everyone couldn't afford to eat, and sweet wine was only made by rich and noble people, but this year I have plenty of money, and I will definitely buy some good things for the New Year.

Luo Ying said: "Aunt Hong, I won't make sweet wine, will you?" ”

"Then I'll do it, there are many people in the family, is ten catties enough?"

"Then make a ten-pound glutinous rice!" Luo Ying said, "You go buy some glutinous rice and come back, and make some glutinous rice next month, and when the Chinese New Year comes, the glutinous rice and sweet wine can be cooked together." ”

"What is a dumpling?" Hong and Liu Erya asked in unison.

"Don't you all know?"

Both of them shook their heads and stared at Luo Ying.

The history of glutinous rice is very long, but they don't even know about it?

"After the glutinous rice is steamed, put it in the stone mill, and then two people and one person have a mallet, hold the mallet to make the dark strength to rot the rice in the stone mill, and then pull it a lock and knead it into a flat one, and finally it is air-dried, if you want to eat it in the future, you can bake it, you can also cook it with sweet wine, and you can also fry it with oil, haven't you all eaten it?"

"Hearing you say this, it must be delicious, when will my sister-in-law make it? I asked my mother to buy glutinous rice and come back and follow along. As soon as she talked about eating, Liu Erya became energetic.

This time, Luo Ying can confirm that there is no glutinous rice here.

Glutinous rice cake is a famous snack in the south, but each local practice is different, the time to do it is not the same, just now Luo Ying said that the glutinous rice is the practice of Hunan glutinous rice cake, and there is a saying in the local area that "on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, playing the glutinous rice cake".

Playing and pinching glutinous rice cakes is a job that requires the cooperation of many people, generally several families get together to play, men and women, old and young, laughing and laughing, which sets off the festive atmosphere of the New Year. Children especially like this kind of scene, you chase me, you call me yelling, eating and playing, so happy. Eating glutinous rice, pressing glutinous rice on the table, and stamping the glutinous rice with red marks are all things that have a taste of the New Year when I was a child.

Since there is no glutinous rice here, Luo Ying feels that she can take this opportunity to make it and sell it for trial.

"Aunt Hong, you call the eldest young master." Luo Ying said.

"I'll go."

Hong knew that his young lady must have thought of a way to make money again, so he immediately ran to call Liu Yifan.

At this time, Liu Yifan was confirming with the village chief the extremely poor households in his village and several nearby villages in need of help.

"Grandpa the village chief, Uncle Xiaoyong, is the list you gave similar to the situation of Mei Po and Grandpa Scar in our village?" Liu Yifan said, "If you have a son who is still sound and has a strong body, I will not help." ”

Liu Scarzi fell into the fire pit when he was young, his face was ruined by half, and his left hand burned into a fist, he is in his fifties this year, and he has no parents, brothers and daughters-in-law, and he lives a bitter life every day.

Mei Po is over 60 years old this year, and her wife and son rely on medicine all year round, without a son, only three daughters have died and two have died, and there is only one medicine jar that cannot be separated from medicine.

"Don't worry! I have personally seen these people, and the conditions at home are similar to those of Mei Po and Liu Scar, all of whom are lonely and widowed old people with no children and no daughters. ”

Liu Yifan nodded when he heard this, and said, "Then let's do it!" Grandpa the village chief, Ming'er will come with me, let's go see them together. ”

"It's almost the New Year, and if you can help them, they can have a good year."

"Big young master, young grandma asked you if you're done here?" Hong came over to urge.

Liu Yifan asked Hong nervously: "But is there something wrong with the lady?" ”

"No, it's the young lady who has thought of a way to make money again, and wants to discuss it with you!"

"Didn't you think of something delicious again?" Liu Xiaoyong teased.

Hong said: "The young lady wants to do it........ Well...... That's right, glutinous rice cakes, the young lady said that she wanted to make glutinous rice cakes. ”

The village chief said, "Yifan, or you can go back first!" When you go tomorrow, you will call me again. ”

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Liu Yifan strode home, and Luo Ying had just drawn the appearance of the mallet and the stone mill at this time.

"Honey, you're back."

"Aunt Hong said that you have a way to make money again."

"You see, this is a tool for making glutinous rice cakes, and we are there...... Belch...... In my master's hometown, I have to make glutinous rice cakes to eat every year during the lunar month. Then Luo Ying gave the drawings to Liu Yifan and gave him a rough explanation of the method.

"Then I'll let people prepare, make a thousand first, and sell them." Liu Yifan said, "But you have to mash the glutinous rice while it's hot, it's a hard job, and you have to find a strong man to do it." ”

"That's right, this is a hard work, and it will be very hard, so you have to find more people, take turns, a day salary of 30 yuan, the old people and children who pinch the glutinous rice can do it, a day salary of 20 yuan, give them two meals, work for five hours a day."

"Okay, listen to you, I'll let people do it right away."

"By the way, what about poverty alleviation?"

"Grandpa the village chief and Uncle Xiaoyong have already given me the list, and there are a lot of people!"

"How many are you going to give?"

"A family of one or two silver, ten catties of millet." Liu Yifan said, "Lady, do you have any ideas?" ”

"These things you give, it's nothing to us, but in fact, the weight is not light, we originally had good intentions, but I'm worried that people will be lazy, for example, when someone can move, they don't move, just think that when they can't move, you Liu Dashan will send them money and food."

Luo Ying remembers that this kind of thing has happened frequently in modern times, someone is kind and often helps others, even if it is a stranger, and contributes money and efforts, but later, others go to his house whenever they are in trouble, and when they are short of money, they go to his house to eat, and they live in his house, and they don't leave for a month, and what's even more ridiculous is that those scoundrels also say that it is what people should do!

Therefore, sometimes doing good deeds has to be weighed.

When Liu Yifan heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, and it was also the same reason for Shengmi Endou Mi to fight against rice.

"Don't we have a lot of peanuts in our house? Let them peel peanuts for us! Liu Yifan said, "Although they are old, physical work can not be done, but peeling peanuts is still possible, every pound of peanuts peeled out to give a penny, let them earn ten cents a day, and then in the name of employee welfare to give them food and eggs, I think it should be enough to live, this time I will send them ten catties of millet first, as for the money, let them earn it themselves!" ”

"Liu Scar only has one hand, can't peel peanuts, let him go to the factory to burn the fire, eat one meal a day, he is so old, the working hours can't be too long, just four hours! Three days off a month, a salary of 100 wen a month, plus 10 catties of millet and 10 eggs. ”

"It's up to you, I'll do it now."
