Chapter Seventy-Six: Timely Rain
Zhang's mother put the pancake pancake in front of the gate to be better, from soaking grain to grinding into grain paste, and then how to spread pancakes on the pancake, all operated by Zhang's mother, Zhang Xiaoxue explained, and finally let the villagers understand.
The women watching from the side were eager to try and wanted to make a pancake by themselves, because now there is only one pancake stall at home, so Zhang Xiaoxue finally asked the women who tried to make pancakes to line up and stepped forward one by one to make a pancake by themselves.
Zhang Xiaoxue moved quickly, and several women who made pancakes well, instructed Zhang's mother to remember seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, and if they signed up later, they would be hired first.
Among the women who learn to spread pancakes, there are a few who are indeed clumsy, such as Yingzi and her mother, who broke a pancake and spread another one cheekily, not to mention the uneven thickness, and was broken by her when she took it down, and Zhang Xiaoxue didn't want two bad pancakes, and asked Yingziniang to take them home to eat, but Yingziniang felt that she had picked up a bargain, and she was very happy.
After that, she was embarrassed to ask Zhang's mother to sign up, and she wanted to come to the pancake stall, but Zhang's mother didn't say anything, and wrote down her name, anyway, she would have to choose another name from the remembered name later, so there was no need to waste saliva with her here.
Everyone really saw the finished pancakes, smelled the pancakes just out of the pot, and the aroma of the food emitted made people particularly appetizing, and there were many people who didn't eat enough at noon, and they kept swallowing their saliva.
When Zhang Xiaoxue saw this scene, she simply took out 100 pancakes and let the onlookers taste them.
This pancake is many times better than the bran cake, one person ate a small piece, and the gluttonous worms in the stomach were hooked out, but they also saw the 100 pancakes that Zhang Xiaoxue took, and there was a thick stack, so no one was embarrassed to open their mouths to eat again, although everyone hadn't eaten enough.
This time, the villagers are really grateful to Zhang Xiaoxue from the bottom of their hearts, thanks to her invention of this kind of food, which can make people eat well and be full.
I have to say here that the creative ability of the common people is really rich, and when they made this pancake at home in the future, some people suddenly thought of mixing it with ground wild vegetable paste, just to save more food, but I didn't expect it to taste really good, and it was also delicious. Soon, this kind of pancake mixed with wild vegetables became popular among the people, and some people also ground the bran and mixed it into the pancake, although the taste of the pancake became rough, but the food was more economical, and it was adopted by many people who lacked food.
The people who learned to spread pancakes were finally dispersed by the sudden dark clouds, it seems that it is going to rain, Zhang Xiaoxue has come here, this is the first time it rains, it is going to rain, the villagers are very happy, now is the time for wheat grouting, everyone has been looking forward to the rain for a long time, if it doesn't rain, they will go to the river to carry water to water the ground.
God is so powerful, everyone says that today is a lucky day, and good things happen one after another. It's almost the same, the villagers finally dispersed, oops, finally clean, it seems that he is really not a person who loves to be lively, Zhang Xiaoxue thought in her heart.
The three of them hadn't left yet, they were still sitting in Zhang Xiaoxue's house talking to the patriarch and a few clan elders, and finally understood why there was so much wasteland here that didn't grow food.
The villagers all have some land, and everyone is unwilling to bother to open up the wasteland, thinking that they have the strength to open up the wasteland, so it is better to take good care of the current crops, water more, remove grass, and hope that the grain planted in the field will have a good harvest.
Originally, in order to open up wasteland, we must first solve the problem of barren land. Thinking that Zhang Xiaoxue asked for 100 acres of wasteland, I don't know where she got her confidence, after all, she still has to feed 40 slaves, even if they eat less, but let them have the strength to open up the wasteland.
The house suddenly went dark, it turned out that there was a dark cloud, and I heard the happy cheers of the villagers outside, it was going to rain, and the patriarch couldn't sit still, so he quickly got up and stood up and looked out, the villagers went back to their respective homes, and Zhang's mother and they also hurriedly put the things they were afraid of getting wet into the house.
Zhang Xiaoxue didn't forget the six chickens, and drove them to the utility room, so that they could stay in the house honestly and not run around.
Yuan Guang came to the outside of the courtyard and led King Yan and their carriage to the bottom of their own firewood shed.
As soon as it was cleaned up, the raindrops the size of beans snapped and fell.
"Well, God has mercy on us, when the crops in the field are short of water, there is such a rain, and this year's wheat is not afraid of a bad harvest. The Great Elder muttered to himself.
Yan Wang Yu Wenze looked at a few villagers in the house. The villagers' faces were beaming with joy and happy smiles, and they were all praising the timely arrival of the rain.
It turned out that this heavy rain, which affected their travel, was so popular with the villagers.
"Haha, it looks like we're going to have to stay overnight today?" said the fat man, he was very happy, and he was very grateful for the rain, and he was able to eat the little girl's food again.
Yan Wang Yu Wenze glanced at the fat man, and saw that on his fat face that was invisible to his smiling eyes, an expression that only he could have after eating something good, he knew in his heart, this foodie.
"Yes, don't leave today, there is a room at home, I let the child his mother, hurry up and clean up the three rooms for you, the house is a little simple, a few adults don't dislike it." Father Zhang said with a smile.
"Then bother. Yan Wang Yu Wenze said politely.
There is not even an umbrella here, and on rainy days, they all wear hats and shuttle clothes.
Zhang Xiaoxue first went to take down the parasol of the pedal tricycle, took it down and played it, hehe, this parasol is very well designed, the following is active, there is a switch under the iron pillar, and the whole umbrella can be taken down by pressing it.
Although the parasol is a little big, it is so thin that Zhang Xiaoxue is holding an umbrella, which looks a little funny, but it is much more convenient than wearing a coat, just when Zhang Xiaoxue passed by the door of the hall and wanted to go to his room, he was stopped by Zhang's father.
"Xue'er went to tell your mother, the three adults won't leave in the rain, and they will stay at our house tonight, let her clean up the room quickly. Zhang's father asked his daughter to pass the word to his wife.
"Oh, okay, I'll go talk to my mother. Zhang Xiaoxue agreed, turned around and went to the kitchen to talk to Zhang's mother.
The people in the house, except for those who had seen the tricycle, were very curious about the parasol that Zhang Xiaoxue was holding in her hand.
"That snow...... Good county lord, what is that round thing in her hand? This is quite good for keeping out the rain, and it is quite easy to take and put away. The elder of the six clans couldn't help but be curious, so he asked Father Zhang.
"Oh, it's called a parasol, it's on a pedal tricycle, it can both shade the sun and protect from the rain, it's Xue'er's brother, a gift to her, and it's the first time we've seen it. Father Zhang patiently explained to him.
"The senior brother of the county lord of Xueshan turned out to be a master, and he was able to give such a special gift to his junior sister as a meeting gift. The patriarch said.
