Chapter 85: I Have Sugar Here

At home, it is becoming more and more lively.

Ten chickens chased and played in the yard, and in the thatched hut next to it, the little cattle slowly chewed the hay. On the small river beach in front, more than a dozen ducks are playing in the water, and when they are happy, they will spread their small wings and flutter.

On the steps, Li and the old lady were making clothes together, and the old man was digging in the field outside with a hoe.

Everything seems so comfortable.

Carrying two packets of chestnut cakes back from outside, Jiang Xi's little face smiled and blossomed.

"Xi'er, why did you run out again, didn't my mother tell you this morning, let you stay at home quietly today, and wait for my mother to teach you to make insoles."

Li's voice came from the steps, and Jiang Xi's face suddenly collapsed.

Last time, didn't they all say that they didn't need her to embroider things?

Seeing her bitter gourd face, both Li and the old lady laughed.

"Mother, look at Xi'er, I'm still so afraid of doing these jobs."

Li said, beckoning to Jiangxi.

"Xi'er, come on, follow us."

Jiang Xi pouted and moved over slowly.

"Mother, didn't you say last time, since I can't learn it, forget it, anyway, we don't rely on this to eat."

After speaking, she also took out the chestnut cake in her hand and handed it to Li and the old lady full of bribes.

"Come on, milk, you can taste this, it's delicious, really!"

Lee laughed again and touched her head.

"Okay, monkey-like, don't please us here, this is an insoles, but every girl's family will know it. Embroidery can not be learned, this must be done! ”

Li rarely insisted, and in the end, Jiangxi still couldn't resist her, and took a large piece of cardboard and a small insole, made by Li, from the house.

Lee's side has scissors and needles and threads, as well as the kind of powder that is specially used for marking lines.

A small bench was dragged from the side and sat next to Li, and Jiang Xi used a small insole to draw a shape on the cardboard.

"Mother, look, isn't that so?"

Better than painting, Jiang Xi proudly handed the cardboard in his hand to Li Shi to see.

"That's right, but it's still too early to get done, so don't be complacent."

was hit by the Li family, Jiang Xi didn't care, and cut out the model with scissors first.

She is naturally not afraid of such a little handmade thing, she is afraid of those complicated embroideries, and her head is big.

After cutting out the model, Jiang Xi took out a thick base cloth, which was pulped, and more than a dozen layers were glued together to make a very thick base plate.

According to the model, Jiangxi also cut out the thick-bottomed cloth.

In fact, if you follow the general practice, there will not be a pair of good insoles to compare, and if you want to cut out the model, you have to measure it with your own feet.

Cutting this insole is easy to say, but it's not too easy to do.

This kind of starched cloth is not so easy to get scissors, and when it is used as an insoles, the size must not deviate.

In case it's too big, it won't fit into your shoes.

If you laugh, how uncomfortable it would be to wear.

In order to supervise Jiangxi, Li also said that this first pair should be made by Jiangxi herself, no matter whether it is good or bad, she must let Jiangxi pad for a while.

Therefore, Jiangxi is careful and careful.

Sticking to the model, scissors and scissors went down, and time passed little by little.

It was close to noon, and Lee went to the kitchen.

In the morning, she mixed the flour, and by the time it had passed, the flour had already softened.

I grabbed the handful of leeks on the board, this dish was sent by the daughter-in-law of a rich family in the village, and there were a lot of vegetables growing in her family's field.

When it was delivered last night, as soon as Jiang Xi saw this leek, he said that he wanted to eat leek pork dumplings.

At home, I haven't eaten dumplings for many years, and even during the Chinese New Year, I can't afford to buy white noodles and meat.

Now that life is better and there happens to be flour at home, Li wants to simply cook a meal to satisfy the family's cravings.

In the morning, she got up early in the morning, went to the town to buy two catties of lean meat, bought a few shallots, came back to mix the flour, and waited to make dumplings.

Wash and chop the leeks, chop the meat finely, put the shallots on top of it and mix them together.

Rolling dumpling wrappers is a very challenging thing to do.

Moreover, those who do not have the strength cannot accomplish this feat.

Picking up the noodles and pinching them a few more times, Li took the rolling pin next to him.

In the past, this rolling pin was never used in their home, but who would have thought that now they can eat rice and white noodles casually.

Finally, Jiang Xi finally cut out the insole, she stretched her waist and slipped into the kitchen.

"Mother, what are you going to do today?"

As soon as he entered, Jiangxi saw the dough that had been rolled into a thin skin.

"Is this making dumplings?"

Jumping up in surprise, Jiang Xi hurriedly went to find a small bowl to come over.

"Mother, I'll help you."

A small bowl is covered on top of the dough, and a dumpling wrapper comes out.

If you do this, you will have more than 20 dough in a while.

The rest of the corners, Li put them together again, and continued to roll them into dough......

When it was time for lunch at other families, Jiang Xi's house had not yet started to smoke, and the four of them sat around the small table, everyone wrapped dumplings with a smile.

The old man and the old lady were the happiest, and even talked a lot.

When it was cooked, the fragrance of dumplings wafted out, Jiangxi sniffed, and even the little scalper in the yard sniffed this side from time to time, which made everyone happy.

"It's great that our family can all gather here to eat dumplings!"

Jiang Xi has never forgotten this meal.

Even in the future, their family has eaten many times better delicacies from the mountains and seas, it can't be compared with this time.

From this day on, no one in the family mentioned her so-called father, that is, Jiang Xiucai.

Time flickered, and half a month passed.

When it's time to sow wheat, everyone is busy.

Growing wheat is relatively easy, you just need to dig the soil and throw the seeds into it.

It's not like corn, which has to be seeded and then planted.

But even so, twenty acres of land is still enough for Jiangxi and their family to be busy.

Every morning, the old man and the Li family went out early in the morning, and after the old lady and Jiang Xi made breakfast at home, the old lady also went out, and Jiang Xi stayed at home alone to take care of the house.

She is looking after the house, naturally not for fun, but for a big thing - winemaking.

Not long ago, she finally finished her own distillation system, and it took her half a month to squeeze out the physics and chemistry knowledge in her stomach.

After making it, Jiangxi took ten catties of sorghum rice from home.

The first time she did it, she didn't dare to use it too much, if it was wasted, Li might feel more distressed.

That's it, she didn't dare to let the Li family know that it was still the old man who secretly helped her move the sorghum rice in private.

The first step has already been carried out.

By this time yesterday, she had soaked the sorghum rice in water, and she had changed the water several times in the middle of the process.

Of course, this procedure was carried out in the cellar of her house.

That place is like her secret base, and only she and the old man will go down on weekdays.

Holding a large vat, Jiangxi went down to the cellar, scooped up the soaked sorghum rice, and put it all in the steamer in the kitchen.

In her previous life, she remembered that her distillery steamed this with special things, but now without this condition, she can only do it casually.

Light the fire, feed the firewood, and bring the water to a boil until the sorghum rice is steamed until it blooms.

Putting the sorghum rice in the vat again, Jiang Xi quickly hugged it and went down to the cellar.

Then there is the fermentation of koji, which cannot be rushed, and the fermentation takes at least two or three months, during which time it must be sealed and no one can touch it.

Doing this like a thief, Jiangxi finally got out of the cellar.

As soon as she came out, she ran into a man wandering around their yard.

"Second aunt? How did you end up here. ”

The old lady's sister, Lizheng's daughter-in-law, was standing at the foot of the steps of her house at the moment, looking into the house with her waist bent, and it didn't look like she had come to do a good deed.

was called by her, and Lizheng's daughter-in-law's body bounced up instantly, and she looked at her in horror, who had only revealed half of her body.

After relieving herself, Li Zheng's daughter-in-law took the initiative and asked, "In broad daylight, what are you doing in hiding, you're scared to death." ”

Jiang Xi was particularly speechless, this person would really accuse others.

"Second aunt, this is my home, I don't need you to care where I am."

Came out and sealed the cellar door.

The cellar here was not pressed down with boulders, and Jiangxi went to the town to buy a small lock, one for her and one for the old man.

As soon as Li Zheng's daughter-in-law saw that the river was locked, she immediately became curious about the cellar.

Last time, she heard that Jiangxi's family sold Shen Yuanwai's family a lot of wine, which was the same thing that the old man drank last time.

She hadn't seen that wine when she came here before.

There wasn't one in the house, it must have been hidden in the cellar.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law thought to herself, Jiang Xi must still have that kind of wine at home, and now it may be in the cellar.

The wine is not cheap, a penny and a pound, if she can get some, the expenses of that year will be there.

She came to the edge of the cellar, her eyes desperately trying to look inside, but she saw nothing.

"Hey, what's up here in your house, it's so mysterious, can you take your second aunt down to see if it's okay?"

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law saw that Jiang Xi was young, so she didn't take Jiang Xi seriously at all, and she didn't even have a title.

"Nope."

The following is her research results, and the daughter-in-law here doesn't treat herself as an outsider.

Jiang Xi's resolute refusal made Lizheng's daughter-in-law stunned.

This kid, why is it so difficult to fool, if this is someone else's house, as soon as she opens her mouth, she will definitely take it with her.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law was not discouraged, she spoke again: "Jiangxi, look, the second aunt has sugar here." ”
