Chapter 68: The Day of the Harvester
Chapter 68
Later, when Aunt Jiaotian and sister-in-law Wang and Daju fried the green, it was also very smooth, whether it was the heat or the frying time, it was just right. 【Fengyun Reading Network. This made Lin Baozhu breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he also infinitely sighed that the master was in the folk.
In fact, it was not as suspenseful as she thought, but the women in the village had long been accustomed to cooking in an iron pot, and stir-frying the best meals with the least amount of things were survival skills. You know, as long as they use an extra stick of firewood and stir-fry for a while, they will feel that they are wasting and ruining things. How can it be like Lin Baozhu, whether it is cooking or burning a fire, there is no need to worry about not having enough firewood.
Although she taught the method of making green and fried green, Lin Baozhu was not worried about someone stealing it, after all, the biggest difference between the tea she made and other people's houses was still in fermentation and refining. As long as you hold this point tightly, you are not afraid of others stealing the teacher, and you don't have to worry about others learning her tea-making method and stealing the business.
What's more, even if those people know how to ferment and how to refine, just that extremely demanding work that is not bad at every inch will not be able to practice it in a while.
Anyway, after such a division of labor, Lin Baozhu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and rest for a while. At least, there is no longer a need to get up early and stay late as before, not only to worry about but also to work hard day and night.
Now in addition to refining tea before the last tea, the rest is bookkeeping and shipping. And Zhang Manchu too, in addition to following Master Dong and Master Liu to check the tea garden, the rest is to lead the big wolf and a few men who protect the mountain to inspect around. Occasionally, I would go to the new house to have a look, and the most tiring thing was to carry the tea to the town to deliver tea and collect money.
The work is easy, and the Zhangji Tea Workshop has slowly taken shape. Drying green, frying green, and finally packaging and shipping, there are all Lisuo people Zhang Luo, and the Zhang family is booming day by day.
And those who can stay and work in Zhang Ji are really happy now. The work is not tiring, the salary is high, and the host is kind not only to manage the food, but also often boil some herbal tea to relieve the heat for everyone to drink, even if their children come to play, they can also get a bowl.
They don't understand anything else, but they know that Entu Bao does. Therefore, one by one, they are extremely attentive to their work, and there are few things like towers and grinders. Even like Daju and Orchid's sister-in-law, because they are not disappointed, they often help Lin Baozhu cook and clean up after finishing work.
After getting free time, Lin Baozhu realized that he hadn't improved his food for a long time. Since buying the mountain, in order to make money, there is no meal to make, even if there is a little effort, I can't go into the tea room to fry tea, and where will I think of changing tricks and then making food?
And now, my income is stable, and I don't have to use the night as the day as before, so I don't want to treat my appetite anymore. Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the soybeans she had gone to Aunt Tian's house to ask for Aunt Ma's house before.
I have nothing to do now, so I just turned the beans out and soaked them in water, and then went to the stone mill in the village to grind them into soy milk when they were soaked thoroughly the next day. On this hot day, although there is no ice cream and air conditioning to relieve the heat, it is also comforting to eat some refreshing cold dishes.
She didn't want to drink ice soy milk, but thought about making some yuba by herself, and then mixing it with dried wild vegetables. It's just a fresh meal.
In the past, Lin Baozhu never thought that one day he would have to work so hard to eat a cold bean curd. You must know that in the previous life, ten yuan could buy a lot of dried dried yuba.
That night, Zhang Manchu went to the town to deliver the goods and came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance in the stove room for a while. Even if he is not a picky eater, he can't help but take a deep breath. The daughter-in-law's cooking skills are already gluttonous, not to mention that he is still hungry now, so he naturally can't help but swallow his saliva.
Hearing the sound, Lin Baozhu held a small basin in one hand, and stirred the cured meat with salt and soy sauce in the other, and saw that it was his own man who came back, and he was very happy.
"Eat mince pies today, you wash your hands first, and you'll be fine later." As she spoke, she also sniffed the meat filling, and felt that the taste seemed to be a little worse, so she went into the stove room again to chop some home-grown cabbage to eat.
As soon as she said this, she neatly mixed the meat filling and wrapped it in the dough. Then, when the boiling oil began to smoke, Lin Baozhu put the prepared cake in it and pushed it back and forth a few times. After a while, the pancakes full of meaty aroma came out of the pan.
At this time, Zhang Manchu also shook the water beads in his hand and came in, and saw that his daughter-in-law was busy sweating, so he spontaneously squatted down to add firewood.
In this way, the tall and burly man sat in front of the stove to burn the fire, and the delicate and handsome woman turned the pancake upside down, and commanded the man to add fire or bury the fire. The originally hot stove room exuded warmth and sweetness in the cooperation of the two people.
After the pie was baked, Lin Baozhu put it on the board and cut it a few times, looking at the meatloaf that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and still steaming, he immediately smiled. The fragrant and lovely meat filling, coupled with the crispy dough, makes people feel that it must be full of flavor before you bite into it.
"Let's go and set the table in the yard, and I'll have a lot of bone broth and rice in a while." Lin Baozhu stuffed the small basin with the meatloaf into Zhang Manchu's hand, and commanded unceremoniously, "Improve the food today, you remember to ask Master Liu and Master Dong to come over and eat together." After thinking about it, she simply wrapped more than a dozen meat patties in a steamed and dried grate cloth, and prepared to give a few to Aunt Tian to eat later.
I said that I would take care of a meal at noon, but it didn't take a few days, and several sisters-in-law and aunts who came to work said it was inconvenient. If you don't go home, maybe the whole family will starve. Second, I came to eat with the main family, although the meals were all good, and the oil and water were also large, I was a little embarrassed to eat. In this way, everyone discussed, and simply went home to eat.
Fortunately, Lin Baozhu gave a lot of wages, so the big guys didn't get entangled in eating more and eating less.
And the men who patrolled the mountains with Zhang Manho didn't have so many taboos, and every time they got to the meal, they would eat the meals sent by the master's family at the bottom of the tea garden. They were also accustomed to eating and drinking while working in the mountains, so naturally they were not picky. Sometimes, they simply get together with the masonry team who built the house over there and build two benches to eat, and they are so unhappy to brag about it.
Lin Baozhu is not a harsh person, and he is also happy to sell personal favors in his daily dealings. What's more, working together these days can be regarded as having some feelings.
thought in her heart, at this time, she would be in front of Aunt Tian's door. Seeing that people were setting up a table in the courtyard and planning to eat, he hurriedly sent the meatloaf over, and then smiled and said that he resigned the retention of Aunt Tian's family and went to another house.
At the end, there were still two meatloaf left in the basket's grate cloth, and after thinking about it, she simply turned a corner, and she went all the way to Lu Pozi's house.
When I arrived at Mrs. Lu's house, I happened to see a family drinking porridge on a small table. In the middle of the table, there was a bowl of very small pickle gnocchi, even so, Mrs. Lu and Liu Laohan were reluctant to eat, and put them into the leftover bowl of their grandson and dog.
If you don't eat some salt, I'm afraid that the whole person will collapse. This is also the first time that Lin Baozhu has seen Liu Jincai, who is rumored to be studying outside.
It's probably a reader, but some of the books are angry, although they are thin and even weak. But his behavior was quite orderly, and when he saw someone coming, he quickly called his sister-in-law. Although he didn't say much else, he didn't think very highly of himself, but was humble and tight.
is different from Zhang Manchu's sturdy and hard, Liu Jincai is very thin, and the light gray clothes he wears and even some white clothes full of patches are washed, which does not make people feel unenergetic. Judging from Lin Baozhu, this person can be regarded as neither humble nor arrogant, and he has that timeless spirit, which is rare in this land of poor mountains and bad waters. Such a person is afraid that he will be useless.
She remembered that she seemed to have heard Mrs. Lu say that she had delayed her son because Liu Laohan was seriously ill. Now that it's about to take the autumn test, I don't know if the family has made up the entanglement.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, even if Mrs. Lu and Liu Laohan were both working in Zhangji, it was only two or three months, and it would be difficult for her son to take a scientific examination.
"Daughter-in-law, why are you here?" When Mrs. Lu came out of the stove room, she saw Lin Baozhu carrying a basket into the door. Suddenly surprised, put down the half bowl of bud rice porridge in his hand and asked quickly.
I wanted to ask people if they had eaten, but when I thought that my pot was empty, and it was just some thin bud rice porridge, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, even if she doesn't go out much, she has heard that she often eats meat.
Lin Baozhu saw the shame on her face, but she didn't expose it, she only smiled and said: "Auntie, don't panic, I'll leave immediately, Manho is still at home with an empty stomach." As he spoke, he took out the remaining two meatloafs from the basket and said with a smile, "I baked a lot of cakes today, and gave some to Aunt Tian and them. Besides, I also want to ask Mei Ying's sister-in-law if she is looking for a job now, it is the job of cooking for everyone, now she has three meals a day, and she has to do more at noon, and she has to send two meals to the masonry class in the morning and evening. The salary is paid once a month, 300 yuan. ”
The sister-in-law Mei Ying in her mouth is the dog's leftover mother, and she is also the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu Pozi family. When Zhang Ji recruited people before, she happened to go back to her parents' house, so she didn't catch up. When I came back, I could only help with lettering or pasting tea paper.
