Chapter 300: The Rice Harvest (1)

(This is to make up for last night's change, today's two changes are in the code!) )

Jian Wu was about to speak, but Tie Boss was the first to speak, "The two girls are loyal to the third lady, and Tie admires it." But Tie has something to say, and he still wants to say it. If the two girls really miss the kindness of the third lady, they should follow her last wish and live well, instead of jumping into the muddy rivers and lakes to roll, if you have an accident one day, I am afraid that the eldest son and the second son will regret not fulfilling the last wish entrusted by the sister. ”

The young man also persuaded, "It's better for you to go to the village first, if you really don't like it, that's it." ”

Tie Boss also said, "The mountain village is very quiet, the neighbors are all simple people, the Zhao family husband and wife are even more kind-hearted, the old and young of the family, are not related by blood, but the family gets along very well, to be honest, I lived there for a few days, and I was tempted to stay for a long time." ”

Jian Wu Qin Xin was still silent, just when Tie Boss felt hopeless, the Sword Dance raised his head, tears crackled in his eyes, and he choked up, "Okay, let's go for a walk, just take a look at the scenery elsewhere for Miss, Miss has always wanted to go out for a walk..."

Qin Xin also sobbed loudly, the young man was very remorseful in his heart, and his eyes were red in an instant, and the iron boss saw this and said, "There is a senior in the Zhao family, if you visit secretly, it will definitely lead him to suspicion, I will write a letter to you, if you are stopped by him, just give him the letter." As for the rest, don't worry, I will never send someone to the Zhao family to report the news, and you are at ease. ”

The two maids looked at the young man, and when they saw him nodding, they saluted together, and soon the two of them changed into simple clothes to go out, carried a small cloth bag on their backs, and hung a long sword on their waists, and came in to receive the letter from the iron boss, and then took their leave.

The playboy let out a long sigh, "Brother Tie, my brother can help you with this, these two girls and my third sister are like sisters, I really can't force them." ”

"Brother Gaoyi, write it down for my brother." Boss Tie hugged his fists and thanked him, and said with a smile at the end, "Don't worry, my brother-in-law is a... Strange women, acting ghosts, sometimes very different from ordinary people, but people who see her, regardless of men and women, young and old, will inevitably feel close. These two maids will definitely agree to stay in the Zhao family. ”

"Oh, hearing Brother Tie say this, my brother is more and more curious, when I have time, I will definitely go to Zhao's house with my brother as a guest." "Okay."

didn't mention how the two of them drank and gossiped, nor did they mention how Jian Wu and Qinxin hurried, just that Yunjia Village was very lively these days. Originally, the 100 acres of paddy fields outside the village were all owned by Zhang Dahu's family, and when they were harvested every year, there were small stewards who shouted to the villagers to help, but the Zhang family was extremely stingy, and every time the villagers were tired for a day, they also sent away two pieces of grain cakes, and after the harvest was finished, they only reluctantly invited a meal with meat, and everyone secretly cursed, but because they were expecting to be able to share two acres of paddy fields next year, they endured it.

However, this year is completely different, the paddy field was bought by the Zhao family, and the golden rice waves outside the village are all from the Zhao family.

The husband and wife of the Zhao family are famous for their generosity and benevolence, and when there is such a bumper harvest, as long as everyone helps well, no one will be treated badly, so every household has taken a sickle out, and the whetstone has been watered, and it is grinding happily.

Sure enough, within two days, Zhang Dahe passed the news on behalf of the Zhao family, the Zhao family did not have enough people to harvest rice, and they were unwilling to go to the city to hire workers, so the young people who were idle in the village could go to the fields to help, take care of two meals a day, and after the harvest, there were twenty catties of new rice for wages.

Now Yunjia Village is a complete sensation, the Zhao family's food is famous for its thick oil and water, and the rice is even cut and beaten, how to say that it will be busy for four or five days, that is, ten good meals, plus the twenty catties of new rice sent, take it home, come to a guest or improve the food for the elderly and children every three or five days, enough to eat for a year.

So, everyone rushed to Zhang Dahe to sign up, Zhang Dahe saw that almost all the men in the village were coming, so he went in and discussed with Zhao Fengnian, changing to only one laborer per family, and in addition, to build a stove on the edge of the field to cook, and of course the young daughters-in-law to help, and then five catties of new rice per person, so that even those who do not have strong labor can also have a woman to help cook, and they can get some benefits.

Zhang Dahe said that the changed rules, and the villagers also said that it was fair and reasonable, after all, everyone has a strong laborer, and if it is added that the daughter-in-law can also help cook, it is thirty catties of new rice, which is many times richer than in previous years, where do you dare to complain.

Zhang Dahe then took a few uncles who had followed the rice harvesting many times in previous years to walk around the fields, pondering where to start cutting, where to dry, and where to thresh.

Sister-in-law Zhang also arranged for someone to replace her to go to the dock to guard the shop, and then tied up an apron with white flowers on a blue background, hung the key to the warehouse on her waist, and arranged for the little daughters-in-law to move dishes and utensils to the field for a while, and then ran back to the backyard to discuss the dishes with Rui Xue and buy the list, as if the harvest was her own field, and the smile on her face was about to bloom, and she was so busy that the wind was blowing under her feet.

Niuniu saw that Sister-in-law Zhang took someone to the warehouse to move fine noodles, which was very lively, so she felt itchy in her heart, and ran to her sister happily and shouted, "Sister, I also want to go to the rice field to see." ”

Rui Xue was drinking the grain porridge in one gulp, and suddenly she pulled her sleeves, almost burning her hands, and had no choice but to look up at the pottery bowl on the girl's head, which had not broken for three days.

Originally, I thought of this trick, I wanted her to get used to walking steadily, but I didn't expect that she didn't know how to do it, except for the first two days when it was broken, and then the pottery bowl was like being glued to her head, and she didn't fall off even if she ran and jumped.

I was afraid that this trick would fail, Rui Xue reached out and took the pottery bowl down, and when she saw the doubts on her sister's face, she said, "The family has been busy these days, so I will give you two days off first, and you don't have to top the bowl." ”

"Ah, my sister is so nice." Niuniu jumped a few times happily on the spot and threw down a sentence, "Sister, I'm going to the rice field." With that, she ran out, and Rui Xue hurriedly instructed, "Don't fight with Brother Yu." ”

Niu Niu responded from afar, "I know, sister, he is not my opponent." ”

Rui Xue shook her head funny, and finally lowered her head and went to drink the bag of cereal porridge again, but she had been drinking this porridge for seven or eight days in a row, and she was really tired of drinking it, so she complained, "Caiyun, let's change to red bean porridge tomorrow." ”

Caiyun was a little embarrassed, and whispered, "Madam, this is the shopkeeper's order, you must be Mrs. drink a bowl every day, well, there is not much left in the stove, I'm afraid it will be finished in two days, Madame bear with it." ”

Caiyue also put a piece of spicy gherkin in the spoon, and said with a smile, "Doesn't Madame love to eat gherkins with porridge, this gherkins were newly made by the slave maid last night, how about Madame taste it?" ”

"Even if the shopkeeper loses money on the tofu business, but there is still so much rice outside the village, can there be a shortage of rice grain? Why is it so hard to drink red bean porridge? Ruixue frowned and didn't like it, but she still didn't want to waste food, so she lowered her head and went to drink porridge again.

At this time, Aunt Yun came in from outside the door with Kexin, and saw that their master and servant were sitting under the laurel tree, and there was food on the table, so she smiled and said, "The boss lady is really appetizing, but the autumn breeze is cold, let's change to the house tomorrow to eat, be careful of the wind in the stomach, and panic at night." ”

Rui Xue turned her head and saw Ke Xin holding a finger in her arms, blinking her big eyes, extremely white and fat, so she immediately smiled and beckoned, "Second aunt, come and sit?" ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and took Kexin into his arms, but because he was born without a mother, and his father was out of tune, the women in the village treated her very much, and everyone who saw her on weekdays had to hug and tease for a while, and this girl also developed a temperament that was not afraid of life, sitting in Ruixue's arms, not only did not cry, but also pulled the red plum embroidered on her placket to play, and giggled from time to time.

Rui Xue loved to kiss and kiss her on the head, so she instructed Caiyun Caiyue to pick up the porridge bowl on the table and go to the stove to steam the egg custard, but Caiyun Caiyue didn't take the dishes down for a long time, so she frowned, "What, you only listen to the shopkeeper's orders now, and my words can be regarded as a deaf ear?" ”

Caiyun Caiyue hurriedly knelt down, "Madame is angry, Madame is angry, the slave and maid are not only listening to the shopkeeper's orders, but when the shopkeeper handed over this bud grain noodles to the slave maid, he told the slave and maid, no matter what, he must persuade the lady to drink a bowl every day, the slave and the maid don't know what the shopkeeper's intentions are, but the shopkeeper's orders must be because this package of grain porridge is good for the lady and the little master, so the slave and the maid..."

didn't wait for Rui Xue to speak again, but Aunt Yun on the side looked at the porridge bowl and asked in surprise, "This is what your shopkeeper told you to cook every day?" ”

Caiyun Caiyue didn't know why she asked like this, but they all nodded.

Aunt Yun said, "Don't blame these two girls, this bag of grain porridge has a history, no wonder the shopkeeper wants to tell them." ”

Rui Xue raised her hand to signal the two girls to get up, and then untied the purse on her waist for her to play with, and asked, "Second aunt, this pack of grain porridge, not everyone in the village is drinking it, why did I have a background here?" ”

Second Aunt Yun smiled with envy and emotion, "Boss, even if the people in the village eat a hundred catties, it is not as expensive as your bowl of gold." Let's not talk about this first, does the proprietress sleep well these days? Still having nightmares? ”

She suddenly changed the topic, which aroused Ruixue's curiosity even more, and replied, "I sleep very well these days, and I have no dreams until dawn every night, but what does this have to do with the porridge?" ”

Second Aunt Yun smiled and clapped her hands, "That's great, and it's not in vain for the shopkeeper's hard work." ”

After speaking, she pointed to the porridge bowl and said, "A few days ago, the shopkeeper came to visit my house, and said that the proprietress slept unsteadily at night, and asked me if I had a good way to suppress the shock, so I said that I would go to Dongshan Pass to ask for the talisman paper to collect the soul and come back." The shopkeeper was afraid that it would not be easy to use, and asked for other methods, and I remembered that my mother had a local method for me to suppress the shock, that is, to ask for 100 rice, but if there are elderly people over 60 years old in the family, go to the door to ask for a handful of grain, save a hundred, cook porridge and drink, can dispel illness and ward off evil spirits.

After hearing this, Mr. left, and I sent the rune paper to Mr. that night, but about the hundred rice, I thought that Mr. was busy taking care of the workshop and didn't ask for it, so I didn't ask much. I didn't expect to see it today, I'm afraid that this bag of grain porridge was begged for by my husband. ”
