Remember [Sogou] in one second, and read it at any time.
Linshui Village is particularly cold in autumn this year, and the villagers are more worried, after all, the situation last winter was not very good, and they were all looking forward to a good winter this year, but now it has not yet entered the winter, it is already very cold, just like the early winter of previous years, everyone's hearts began to mumble again, I don't know how to spend this winter.
Xiao Yue's family didn't think about it so much, because their lotus root was ripe, which was good news for them.
However, because there was no one who could dig lotus roots in Linshui Village, Xiao Yue could only ask Shen Junling for help and asked him to help find some people to dig lotus roots.
At this time, digging lotus root is really a very hard job, looking at the vicissitudes of life of those people who come to their house, and the red hands when working, you know how hard it is to dig lotus root.
Xiao Yue prepared a pot of ginger soup, then carried it to the door with a kettle, and went home to pour it when it was finished, these ginger soups can at least keep the body temperature of those who are suffering.
Then she prepared a large pot of braised pork, large white rice, braised pork, mushroom stewed chicken, and a few vegetarian dishes for her morning meal, so that these people could eat to their heart's content.
Uncle Yang's family and Uncle Yang's family also came to help, Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang and their sons all went down, originally Xiao Yue didn't want Uncle Yang and Uncle Yang to go down, after all, they were old.
But who knew that they didn't listen at all, Uncle Yang waved his hand and said: "Okay, Changfa daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry about it so much, my old man hasn't seen how others dig this lotus root, can you come down and take a look at it?" ”
Third Uncle Yang also said: "That's it, Changfa daughter-in-law, don't worry, we have done farm work all our lives, and we can still do this bit of work." ”
After saying that, the two of them went to dig the lotus root in a hurry, but because they didn't know how to dig, they broke a few digs, and the surrounding villagers all laughed.
"Boss Yang, you are still digging lotus roots, why are they all broken?"
"That's it, Yang Laosan didn't say that you have done farm work all your life, why can't you do this bit of work well?"
The people around them kept teasing them, but no one was really angry, they knew that the villagers were just trying to have fun and were teasing them, not really jokes.
Uncle Yang's eyes widened, "What are you talking about, you guys are waiting to see me dig out a big one for you." ”
When Uncle Yang heard his words, she laughed out loud and said to Xiao Yue: "Your uncle is really, arguing with a group of people, look at the Haikou he boasted of, I will wait to see how big the lotus root he can dig up." ”
Xiao Yue looked at Uncle Yang's appearance and smiled, Uncle Yang was steady, but Uncle Yang was quick-tempered, but the relationship between the two husband and wife was still very good, and they usually didn't quarrel.
Third Uncle Yang doesn't talk much, especially when he passes through Yang Changmu and Yaoyao at home, he always feels embarrassed, even if their family has opened a small grocery store now, and life is not bad, but he still doesn't have a straight waist as before.
Daddy Xiao also came over to help, he also brought Xiao Chun, Xiao Yue will never let Xiao Chun go down, this pond is cold and biting now, Xiao Chun is still a child, he will definitely not be able to stand it if he goes down, and it is very easy to leave the root of the disease.
Father Xiao saw that his daughter did not agree with his son to go down, so he let Xiao Chun stay on the shore, in fact, the children in the village will follow the farm work after the age of ten, and the body is not so bad, and the daughter feels sorry for his brother, and he does not object.
Yang Changfa's eldest brother Yang Changgui also came, he has always talked less, he works very hard, and he has nothing to say to help his younger brother.
The people in the village also knew that Xiao Yue's family was digging lotus roots, and they all came to see the excitement, and when they saw those who were working digging the lotus roots out of the mud, all the people in the village were surprised, but they didn't expect Xiao Yue's family to really plant lotus roots.
You must know that in the summer, the people in the village looked at the lotus pond in front of Xiao Yue's house and laughed in their hearts, except for the rich people, no one here can grow lotus roots.
Although the lotus flowers of Xiao Yue's family bloomed well at that time, everyone still didn't believe that their family could grow lotus roots, and now they saw the lotus roots dug out of the ground with their own eyes, and they really felt incredible.
Yang Changfa also went down to dig the lotus root, he followed a worker to learn, the lotus root grows in the silt, and if you want to dig out the lotus root, you can only clean up all the silt around it, and in order to prevent omissions in the process of digging, all the people are standing in a row, so that they go hand in hand to dig forward.
Everyone soaked in the cold mud, holding a small shovel in their hands, slowly followed the growth of the lotus root to clean the mud around it to the side, and then the lotus root could be taken out whole.
Because their own people don't know, what they just dug at the beginning was broken, and Xiao Yue didn't say anything, just keep these broken ones for their own food! Anyway, they won't sell all the lotus roots, and they still have to keep something to eat.
They all learn from the workers who dig the lotus roots, and slowly they can dig up the whole lotus root.
The three of them also took out the triplets, and the triplets were not timid when they saw so many people, on the contrary, they were all happy, waving their hands and feet, and screaming to express their joy.
When the triplets saw the lotus root on the side, although they didn't know what it was, they all opened their toothless mouths and connected them, making their saliva water.
Although the triplets were held by the three of them, Aunt Yang followed them, and when she saw the triplets drooling, she immediately took out a handkerchief from the side of everyone's quilt to wipe their saliva.
The people in the village are not particular, and children don't care about drooling, some just wipe them with adults' handkerchiefs, and some still wipe them with their sleeves.
But Xiao Yue said that this would not work, she put a handkerchief on the side of the triplets to wrap the quilt, each of them belonged to everyone, and it was not mixed.
Aunt Yang didn't know what the benefits of doing that were, but she also felt that it was much cleaner, so she was still willing to listen to Xiao Yue in the matter of taking care of the child.
Digging lotus root can not be soaked in the pond for a long time, the pond is too cold, staying in it for a long time will make people sick, so you can only feel that the body is very cold, can not stay, you must hurry ashore to drink some hot water, warm up the body.
Xiao Yue prepared ginger soup for them, and when people couldn't stand the cold, they came up to drink a bowl of ginger soup, and suddenly their whole bodies were warm.
These workers and their families dug the pond of Xiao Yue's house for three days to finish, Xiao Yue paid everyone a salary, and each gave an extra 200 yuan, because Yang Changfa also dug it, he really felt too hard, so the husband and wife gave some more money.
Originally, the workers didn't want it, they just wanted to get what they deserved, and they didn't take the excess, but later Yang Changfa persuaded them to take it for a long time.
But because they took more money, these simple people helped clean the lotus root of Xiao Yue's family again, looking at them, Xiao Yue really felt how this person was so kind.
Later, Xiao Yue also gave each of them a pound of meat and a bag of pastries, which they had to hold, because after finishing the work for whom's house, the main family would more or less express it.
These people took their wages and left happily with meat and pastries, and promised that they would look for them if they had the opportunity to dig lotus roots next year.
Xiao Yue looked at the lotus roots piled up in her yard, her face was also full of smiles, next year she will raise some more fish in this pond, and then not only the lotus roots can be sold for money, but also the fish can be sold for money.
This year's lotus root is also a bumper harvest, and when it rained before, Yang Changfa opened an opening on one side of the pond, so there is not much water in the pond.
Xiao Yue looked at her lotus root, she had already thought in her heart that when the lotus root was sold, she must make a few lotus root dishes, so that these people could taste modern food.
Part of the harvested lotus root was sold, of course, it would not be sold to other people, it was still sold to Shen Junling, the Fuxingju in the town was no longer open, and they didn't know what Shen Junling's business was now.
But Shen Junling said that there was no need for them to worry, he had already taken care of everything, and sure enough, three ox carts came to Xiao Yue's house to collect lotus roots the next day.
Xiao Yue knew that it was Shen Junling who helped, but this time was not the time to thank, Xiao Yue's lotus roots grew really well, they were all white and fat, and they were very pleasing to look at.
The lotus root was sold for fifty taels of silver, Xiao Yue happily took back the silver to the house, and now the family has a lot of savings, but Xiao Yue still likes to make money, to be precise, she enjoys the process of making money.
There is still a little bit of lotus root left at home, Xiao Yue sent a little to several close families, Xiao family, Uncle Yang's family, Yang Sanshujia, and even the Yang family's old house also sent a little, lotus root is still a rare thing in their village, give it to everyone to taste.
The lotus root matter was solved, Xiao Yue couldn't wait to start making a lotus root dinner, it just so happened that the weather was not bad that day, not as cold as a few days ago, Xiao Yue decided to start doing it.
She handed over the triplets to the care of the three of Jiu Ye, and asked Yang Changfa to go to the town to buy meat, tofu, pork ribs, glutinous rice and other materials.
Aunt Yang gave Xiao Yue a hand in the kitchen, Xiao Yue wore an apron, and made a lot of lotus root dishes in the kitchen in the morning, what crispy lotus root, cold lotus root, glutinous rice sugar root, crystal lotus root balls, fried lotus root box, lotus root pork rib soup, of course, in addition to these lotus root dishes, there are other fish, chicken, several vegetarian dishes, etc.
Xiao Yue used a small pot of vegetables for each of the few families close to her, and it was okay to invite these people to her house, but it was estimated that there would be two tables, and the three of them couldn't eat comfortably, so they simply gave each family an order.
After the meals were served, Shen Junling and Liu Xihan couldn't wait to grab the chopsticks, and the triplets had been fed by Xiao Yue before eating, and they all fell asleep.
This morning, the ninth master and they took the triplets to play all morning, and they were all sleepy at this time, and Xiao Yue fell asleep after a little coaxing.
Xiao Yue saw that all the people in the family were scrambling to eat the dishes she made, and her heart was also very happy.
Yang Changfa pinched a piece of glutinous rice and sugar lotus root into her bowl, "Daughter-in-law, hurry up and eat, the dishes you make are really delicious." ”
The three of the nine masters all agreed with what Yang Changfa said.
