In the blink of an eye, it was already the seventh day of the lunar month, and Jiang Yunzhao was so busy that he forgot the time, so he lost money and reminded him.

"Tomorrow is Laba, let's cook more porridge and send a bowl to the people in Zhuangzi from house to house." Jiang Yunzhao remembered that there was a custom of giving laba porridge to each other, so he smiled and arranged it.

The people on Zhuangzi are not close to Jiang Yunzhao, but at least they haven't been too exclusive recently, and Jiang Yunzhao also wants to have a good relationship with them.

"We haven't been so lively for some days, so I just took advantage of the excitement of Laba, and I called people up later, and we went to pick up beans together. Speaking of which, I haven't cooked Laba porridge seriously for several years. Mama Qian said with a smile on her face.

Laba porridge is not easy to make, especially if you make a lot of it, it is not easy to clean up those beans, rice, dried fruits, etc.

"You take Danyun and them with you, and teach them how to do it, and when they do it next year, they will do it, and you will be able to be idle when you are old." Jiang Yunzhao has long heard that Mama Qian has a very good set of porridge, and it is said that she has her own unique recipe.

Mama Qian said happily: "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely teach them, in fact, I have to be patient." ”

In the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhao finished work early, anyway, he couldn't finish the work in the greenhouse, and it was not bad for a while.

More than a dozen girls gathered together, chattering, it was really lively, Mother Qian collected red beans, mung beans, lentils, lotus seeds, barley, rice, glutinous rice and all kinds of dried fruits from Zhuangzi before, and put large and small bags and pots in the yard.

"It's really complete, but I don't know, there are still so many good things in our Zhuangzi." Danyun exclaimed.

"We have a lot of good things in Zhuangzi, and when I find them, I will also pull down one." Mama Qian replied with a smile: "Let's pick up all these things first, there must be no pebbles or anything in them, and these dried fruits, peel those that should be peeled, and remove the coring ones that should be pitted, and they must be cleaned." ”

Mama Qian commanded the girls to get busy, and Jiang Yunzhao couldn't stay idle, calling for Lady Yue to come and help.

Although there are many raw materials, there are many people, and the ones that should be soaked and washed are all placed in one place.

"With so much rice and beans, you have to cook a lot of porridge." Kapok was young, her eyes were straight, and she had never seen so much rice boiled at one time.

"Let's set up a few more pots this night, cook them all at once, and when the day dawns, we will send them to everyone." Jiang Yunzhao straightened the basin and spoke with a smile.

Hongmian smiled with sparkling eyes: "I like to drink porridge the most, I remember that in the past, my family was poor, that is, I could drink a bowl of sweet and glutinous porridge on the day of Laba." ”

There are many children in the Cotton Cotton family, and it is because they can't live anymore that they were bought by their parents to find a way to live in the Liu family.

Yue Niangzi also seemed to be infected, and said with a rare smile: "Hongmian, you are young, I don't know." Laba porridge is very particular, not just for a bowl of porridge tomorrow morning. ”

"I really don't know that, I just know that the porridge we made this year must be better than what I ate in previous years." Kapok said happily.

Since arriving at Liu's house in the past few years, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, but Hongmian likes to eat laba porridge very much.

"We've boiled a lot this year, if you like it, can you eat it for a few days in a row?" Jiang Yunzhao urged the narrow way.

Although there are many girls around her, to put it mildly, Jiang Yunzhao's favorite is the red cotton that has been with her for the shortest time. This girl is innocent and has nothing to say, and never complains about anything, she has always had a positive attitude.

"Don't you have to eat it all at once?" Cotton Wool was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.

Mama Qian said with a smile: "I don't need it, the leftover laba porridge is kept for a few days and leftovers, which is considered a good omen for more than every year." ”

"No wonder we have to do so much, so much is enough for us to eat for many days, won't our days be better and better in the future?" Kapok used his own mind to understand, and came to such a conclusion.

Yue Niangzi couldn't help but laugh: "Silly girl, do you know how much porridge these rice and beans can be boiled, if we just eat it, it will be enough to eat for a month." ”

Cotton Tree stuck out his tongue and said with some embarrassment: "It turns out that there are so many." ”

"After the Laba porridge is boiled, it is offered to the Buddha and the monks. I also want to send a bowl to my relatives and friends, and I have to send it out before noon, but our Zhuangzi is far away from the capital, and it is estimated that we can't send it. Mama Qian said with some regret.

Miss doesn't have many relatives, speaking of which, it is the second master's family and the Liu family, as for Jiang Bokang, Miss should have never considered it, but it is not easy for these two families to be sent over.

"Let's send someone to the capital tomorrow when the porridge is ready, this year is the first time I boil Laba porridge, no matter what, let my grandmother, uncle and aunt taste it." Jiang Yunzhao had already thought about it, even if he hadn't boiled Laba porridge in the past, since he had boiled it this year, he couldn't help but send it: "For the rest, let's divide the people on the Zhuangzi and a big pot for the family." Let the people in the Zhuangzi eat a meal of laba porridge to their heart's content. ”

"What Miss said is that let's give porridge to the poor to eat, that's accumulating virtue." Mama Qian said approvingly.

The young lady is not very old, but she has a kind heart, which is really rare. Even if the people in Zhuangzi are not friendly to her, the young lady is also an adult who does not remember the villain.

Actually, if you put it more carefully, what are these people? It's just that they are all people who depend on Zhuangzi to live, and the young lady will give them benefits if she is willing to give them, and if they are not happy, they can only fend for themselves. The young lady was able to be friendly.

In fact, Jiang Yunzhao thought very simply, although the people near Zhuangzi are not owned by Zhuangzi, but they are people who have lived here for decades, and it is also a matter of evil to cut off other people's livelihoods all of a sudden. She hopes that these people can eventually become the most effective labor force in Zhuangzi, and this time she sent laba porridge, which also has this factor.

"If we have this strength, we can help others, and it's a gesture, it's nothing." Jiang Yunzhao said casually.

In fact, those big families and wealthy people in the capital will open a porridge shed to give porridge in winter, on the one hand, to change their own reputation, and on the other hand, to help a few people who can't eat to survive the cold winter. Although she Jiang Yunzhao can't do this so generously, she can still give a little favor on the day of Laba.
