Ning Dazhuang suddenly realized, patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "It's that I'm confused, then, what is the right thing to buy?" ”

"Buy some red dates, buy more, give some to Brother Zhang, and keep some for yourself." Ning Xue'er proposed.

Zhang Shi looked at Ning Xue'er's bloodless little face, nodded, and said, "It's okay, child's father, you can buy some red dates." ”

In the evening of the next day, Ning Dazhuang came back with a large bag of red dates, Ning Xue'er looked at the red dates, and thought that she could make yam and jujube paste cakes.

The next day, Ning Xueer got up early to make pastries. She took a few yams and steamed them in the pot, while she washed and shelled the jujubes and set them aside. After 20 minutes, take out the yam and put the red dates in the pot to continue steaming. Immediately afterwards, peel the yam and mash the cooked yam into a puree, Ning Xue'er pounded it hard and slowly, and the more the yam was mashed, the better. Put the mashed yam on a damp cloth, knead it repeatedly, and when the yam dough is basically formed, set it aside for later use. At this time, the red dates are also steamed, take them out and continue to mash them. Then put water in the pot, add two spoons of sugar, pour in a little oil, then pour in the jujube paste, stir-fry over low heat for 30 minutes, and finally pour in the golden sugar osmanthus, stir well, and dry in the pot. After all the ingredients are ready, pinch a yam seed, put in a little jujube paste to close the mouth, and finally put it into the mold, this jujube paste yam cake is ready.

Ning Xue'er made more than thirty pastries in one go, and when Ning Dazhuang got up, he was stunned.

Ning Dazhuang pointed to the pastries on the table, "This, this ........"

Ning Xue'er smiled and said: "I got an ingredient on the mountain yesterday, and you bought red dates again, I tried to make pastries, can you try it?" ”

Ning Dazhuang walked to the desk, picked up a snack and tasted it, well, soft, sweet, it tasted good.

He narrowed his eyes and gave Ning Xue'er a thumbs up.

Ning Xue'er felt very happy when she was complimented, and she suddenly remembered Ning Dazhuang's usual words, so she cautiously asked, "Dad, why don't you send some of this pastry to the foreman?" ”

Ning Xue'er reminded Ning Dazhuang of this stubble. He moves goods on the dock on weekdays, relying on all his dead strength, doing all hard work, no way, who makes him not able to pat on the back, and can't speak, and doesn't know how to give gifts, this dirty work is not for him.

Now, there are rare snacks at home, so it is natural to send them to the foreman.

Ning Dazhuang nodded, "You wrap it up." ”

Ning Xue'er quickly found an oiled paper, filled it with twenty jujube cakes, wrapped it, and handed it to Ning Dazhuang.

There was no extra breakfast to make, and the whole family had a jujube paste cake, and everyone was satisfied.

The rest of the jujube mud cake, Ning Xue'er still wrapped it in oil paper, ready to send it to Zhang Yisheng's family.

As usual, after packing up the housework, Ning Xue'er went out with the basket on her back. Walking to the foot of the mountain, passing by the door of Zhang Yisheng's house, Ning Xue'er shouted "honey", only to see a girl running out of the kitchen in a hurry. Ning Xue'er smiled and handed her the snacks and red dates.

Honey looked at the pastry in her hand gratefully, and was so happy that she couldn't even speak.

In the morning, Ning Xue'er had been busy collecting firewood and picking wild vegetables, and she didn't care about Zhang Yisheng.

It wasn't until noon that she remembered that she hadn't seen Zhang Yisheng today, so she went down the mountain with her things on her back, and stood outside the fence of Zhang Yisheng's house, she saw a long and straight figure, who is Zhang Yisheng?

In the yard, Honey looked at a basket of yams, excited to call out, although this yam is not good-looking, but it is particularly anti-hunger, last night a bowl of yam puree for one person, to the morning is not hungry.

If you dig at this rate, you won't be hungry this winter.

Zhang Yisheng saw his sister's emotions in his eyes, of course he understood what she thought, but this yam was dug by Xue'er, if it was monopolized by his own family, it shouldn't be good.

Just when Zhang Yisheng was embarrassed, Ning Xue'er pushed the door in, and she said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, you are at home!" ”

When Honey saw Ning Xue'er coming, she hurriedly took the pastries out of the kitchen and invited Ning Xue'er to eat them politely.

Ning Xue'er tasted a piece, Zhang Yisheng also took a piece, and the two finished eating. Ning Xue'er said, "Brother Zhang, let's dig yams together in the afternoon." ”

Zhang Yisheng was surprised, all the yams in that place had been dug up.

Ning Xue'er explained, "Brother Zhang, don't worry, there are many yams in the back mountain, I have seen it, and there are at least a dozen of them." ”

As soon as Honey heard that there were still many yams to dig, she shouted that she would go too.

Zhang Yisheng had no choice but to take her. So, a group of three people went up the mountain with a big basket on their backs.

Under the guidance of the system, Ning Xue'er found a place with more yams for Zhang Yisheng to dig, and while he was digging, Ning Xue'er and Honey followed behind to pick up yams. The three of them worked together and were exceptionally efficient.

After an hour, all three baskets were full. Zhang Yisheng had to go home with two baskets of yams first. Ning Xue'er and Honey sat on the big stone and rested for a while.

Ning Xue'er is an idle person, and in this moment's effort, she also picked a lot of wild vegetables.

After Zhang Yisheng came back with three baskets, the three of them continued to dig yams.

This digging dug until the sun went down, and the three of them returned with a full load of backpacks.

Ning Xue'er did not stay at Zhang's house, but went home directly.

Recently, there are a lot of yams at home, and Ning Xueer is lazy, so she directly steamed some yams for dinner.

Life went on like this, for five days in a row, Ning Xueer took Zhang Yisheng's brothers and sisters up the mountain to dig yams every day.

The yams on the mountain were almost exhausted, and Ning Xue'er remembered her original intention of going up the mountain.

So, she exchanged ten sweet potatoes from the system's mall. When she was eating, she mentioned her twenty acres of wasteland, intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, Ning Dazhuang is not interested in Ning Xue'er's wasteland at all, the land is barren, there is no good harvest for planting, and he has to spend time and energy to sow and take care of the harvest, no matter how it is calculated, it is not as fast as going to the dock to move goods.

After mentioning it a few times, Ning Xue'er also knew that Ning Dazhuang didn't want to care, but fertilization was not something that a little girl could do.

So after weighing it, Ning Xueer decided not to fertilize and directly plant sweet potatoes. But sweet potatoes are limited, and she must first find a fertile piece of land to raise seedlings before transplanting them.

After thinking about it, Ning Xueer decided to plant sweet potatoes in the yard of Zhang Yisheng's house.

After saying hello to Zhang Yisheng, Ning Xue'er took the sweet potatoes with her.

Honey looked at the sweet potato that Ning Xue'er took out, and was surprised, what is this? Can you eat it?

Ning Xue'er didn't care about other people's eyes, she just cut all the sweet potatoes into pieces from memory, buried them in the soil, and finally poured some water and it was over.

After planting sweet potatoes, Ning Xue'er sat in the yard and talked to Zhang Yisheng's brothers and sisters for a while.

Zhang Mitang was clever, she knew that her brother was embarrassed, so she hurriedly said, "Sister Xue'er, my brother has nothing to do at home recently, I heard that Uncle Ning is moving goods at the dock in the town, you see that my brother is young and powerful, can he also move goods?" ”

Honey said that, Zhang Yisheng became even more cramped, and his hand didn't know where to put it.

"Brother Zhang, let's do it, I'll go back and talk to my dad today, and I'll get back to you in a few days, okay?"

Zhang Yisheng nodded.

Back at home, Ning Xue'er thought that Zhang Yisheng had to go to the dock to move goods and had to say hello to the foreman, and if he asked someone, he had to give gifts, and there were no good things at home, so Ning Xue'er still decided to make jujube paste yam cake.

I've done it once last time, and this time it's even more familiar. Steamed yams, steamed red dates, and fillings............ Within an hour, dozens of white pastries were on the table. Ning Xue'er looked very satisfied.

In the evening, Ning Dazhuang came back with his tired body, Ning Xue'er hurriedly fetched water, let Ning Dazhuang wash his hands, and the family began to eat. Today, Ning Xue'er made yam porridge, with a lot of rice in it, and ate it with the sauerkraut at home, not to mention how fragrant it was.

"Xue'er, send some of your dead roots-like things to your grandmother and second uncle's house." Ning Dazhuang ate and drank to his heart's content, put aside his chopsticks, and ordered Ning Xue'er to say.

"Okay," Ning Xue'er nodded, she understood that the people in the village were like this, and even some new things had to be divided among the neighbors, not to mention the family who lived under the same roof.

"Dad," Ning Xue'er bit her lip, "Brother Zhang said that he also wants to go to the dock to move goods, you see,"

Ning Dazhuang was stunned, and he also understood in his heart that the Zhang family was in trouble, even if he was not good at words, he was ready to go to the foreman.

"Ming'er, I'll go talk to the foreman, you wait."

"Dad, I made jujube paste yam cake today, you can take it to the foreman." Ning Xue'er said as she took out the pastries that had already been made from the cupboard.

Under the kerosene lamp, by the dim light, Ning Dazhuang glanced at the dim sum on the table, and prayed silently in his heart, I hope the foreman can agree for the sake of the dim sum.

At noon the next day, Ning Dazhuang came to the small house dedicated to the foreman with great trepidation, and as soon as he entered the door, the foreman's sharp eyes stared at him. Ning Dazhuang's legs suddenly became weak, and he forgot all the words he had prepared all the morning, he pointed to the dim sum in his hand, and stammered: "Boss, this is a jujube paste yam cake, you can take it back and give it to your sister-in-law to taste." ”

Foreman Cai's gaze shifted to Ning Dazhuang's hand, and he looked at the pastry and reluctantly said "um".

Ning Dazhuang hurriedly put down the pastry with a smile, and then pestled in front of the foreman.

Foreman Cai frowned and asked unhappily, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Well," Ning Dazhuang looked at the foreman pitifully, and pleaded: "Foreman Cai, I have a neighbor in my family, the young man has a lot of strength, and he is still diligent, his family has had an accident recently, can you let him come to our dock too." ”

"That's it?" Foreman Cai waved his hand impatiently, "Go get busy, I agreed." ”

Ning Dazhuang left with a thousand thanks.
