081 Riverside Water Mill
Yingchun was shocked into a cold sweat by Lily's words, she was not convinced, and she felt that the eldest sister still had so much truth in what she said, and she knew that she had fallen for someone else.
"These dirty hooves!" or say that Yingchun is a cannon fight, Lily just said, and as soon as she thinks about it, she will go back to find trouble with her gang.
Lily hurriedly held her down, thanks to the fact that she had eaten well in the past six months and her body was much better, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hold down this girl.
"I just said that you are stupid, and you hit the knife again! Do you want to fall out with everyone before you are willing to rest?"
"Then what do you think I should do?" Yingchun is not going well, if it weren't for the fact that this is her eldest sister, she would have played out a long time ago if she was replaced by another person.
Lily was not in a hurry to answer, first poured her a glass of water to drink, and saw that she was calmer, and then said slowly: "Tell me, why did you come to Liufu to be this girl?"
Yingchun was stunned and said ignorantly: "Isn't it just to make money, what else can it be for?"
"Then you are stronger than others, can you make a few more money, or can you rest for a while?" Lily poked Yingchun's forehead with her finger, compared to Zhu's, her strength was only for play, and it didn't hurt at all.
Yingchun came back to his senses: "Yes, I just care about making money, take care of them!"
The girl who quarreled with her, first, didn't do the same thing, she couldn't fight with others, and secondly, the girl didn't care about the money, what's the use of being angry with her?
As soon as Yingchun thought about it, she knew that she was really a top bird this time, but she couldn't turn around and go back to bite her own person, otherwise both ends would be disgusted with her, and she would never have a better day.
I can only swallow this breath, go through this matter first, and then talk about it later.
Lily estimated that the girl should have figured it out, and said with a smile: "Now that I know that Aunt Sheng didn't hurt you, right?
As soon as she said that she was sorry, Yingchun couldn't pull her face, and Lily taught her: "How big is your face, can you exchange it for a meal or two dollars?"
In the end, Aunt Sheng is in charge of the kitchen, Yingchun is working under her hands, how many benefits she has to raise her hand to welcome the spring, Yingchun can figure it out without much persuasion from Lily, honestly get up and comb her hair and wash her face, and said in a muffled voice: "Sister, you have to go with me for the reparation." ”
"That's nature. "Her sister-in-law, she can't leave it alone, if Aunt Sheng is willing to see her face and spare the Spring Festival, this matter will be over.
There are many people in Liufu, when will there be no three or five things about the girl's mouth? A little thing, the eldest lady didn't take it to heart, seeing that Yingchun honestly came to make amends, and diligently made tea and rubbed her shoulders, so she took the tea and said: "Okay, how old am I, how old are you, can I be angry with you?"
Yingchun has been doing things with Aunt Sheng for many years, and the two of them are actually quite close, and they said: "Aren't I ignorant, just call me, it doesn't matter if you beat me or scold me, just don't ignore me." ”
This was said clearly, and Aunt Sheng was satisfied, and said to Lily: "Can you rest assured now?"
"People are handed over to the eldest mother, where is there any peace of mind?" is much more relieved than under her own mother's hands!
Since then, Yingchun has gathered a lot without mentioning it, and Lily went home and discussed with Song Haonian: "The flour is almost gone, so you should grind some noodles." ”
Their family used to buy rice and noodles to eat, but now the cellar is full of rice and wheat, and millet, yellow rice, and sorghum are also packed in several large boxes.
The mill is located on the Baishui River, and it is more convenient than animal power to drive the mill fan by water power. The people who opened the mill were called the mill Liu family, and they took a cut according to the amount of flour they grinded, for example, if they wanted to grind a bucket of wheat, they had to give their family a liter.
The two young couples can't eat more than a big family, so they plan to grind only a bucket of wheat first, and grind as they eat, so as not to get maggots and beetles off the noodles, and they can often eat fresh flour.
To open a warehouse, Song Haonian only asked her to help with the bag, whether it was to use Fang Sheng to take the wheat or resist the wheat from the warehouse, she didn't need to do anything.
Song Haonian also said: "Your waist is not as thick as my legs, and those arms are so thin, I'm afraid that the bag will crush you!"
Lily gave him a white look: how could he say it so exaggerated?
If you can't send the wheat to the mill, you have to process it at home, first use a bamboo plaque to pass it one by one, pick up the stones and mud mixed in it, and dust away the wheat husks that the windmill failed to blow clean, and clean all the impurities.
Then sprinkle water on the wheat, stirring while sprinkling water, so that all the wheat grains are evenly coated with water, and a handful of wet sticky hands will not touch the water, and it will be done.
The quality of the flour is very related to the process of sprinkling, if there is no man with great strength like Song Haonian, Guang Lily is alone, and she can't do it if she is tired.
Putting the wheat back into the sack, Song Haonian carried it on his shoulder, and Lily carried another liter of dry wheat and followed him to the mill.
When I heard the rumbling sound of the mill from afar, it was the river pushing the mill fan moving, and there were already two people lined up in front of it, and when the willow mill saw them coming, he came out covered in flour and said, "There are still two or three hours ahead, you go back first, and then come again." ”
When grinding noodles, you have to have a family member here to help, otherwise the willow mill will not be busy alone, but now it doesn't matter if you put the bag here, everyone in the town knows it, and after the willow mill's eyes, no one will steal food.
The young couple put down the grain bag, gave a liter of wheat to the willow mill, and went home. Lily was in a hurry, and Song Haonian asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Lily said, "I remembered that I forgot one thing. ”
She only remembered when she saw the willow mill that the flour was dusty, and it was very bad for the lungs to be inhaled into the nose. She had just listened to the Willow Mill, and her voice was hoarse, not because of a problem with her throat, but because of a broken lung.
When Lily went home, she turned out the finest cotton cloth, folded it in more than ten layers, and made a thick mask, she didn't know how much dust this thing could prevent, it was better than direct breathing.
Song Haonian put the mask on his face and tried it, "It's very stuffy." "Not happy to wear it.
The mill was already stuffy, and he was going to be out of breath when he wore this thing again.
Lily said unhurriedly: "If you don't want to wear it, I'll put it on and grind the noodles, and you are not allowed to go in." ”
Now Song Haonian is in a hurry, although the grinding fan is pushed by the river, adding food to the grinding fan and sweeping the flour down is also a hard work, his daughter-in-law's small arms and legs, where can I afford that?
But seeing Lily's resolute expression, looking like either he would wear a mask or she would go, Song Haonian had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, okay, can't I wear it?"
Anyway, these things that his daughter-in-law poured out are useful one by one, and when they don't harm him, they are more troublesome, and they will slowly change their comfort in the future.
A bucket of flour can be ground in an hour at most, and he endures it for an hour, what's the big deal?
Seeing that Song Haonian agreed to wear a mask to grind noodles, Lily breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You are not allowed to take it off in the mill!" and told him many things, why not to start a fire in it, not to beat iron things and the like
Song Haonian said: "You haven't been to the mill and don't know, everything there is wood, and you can't see iron again." Lily was a little relieved.
Flour is a thing that is easy to explode when the concentration is high in the air, and it is really amazing if you see an open flame or a spark. She had heard many things about the explosion of the flour mill in her previous life, and the level of medical care in these years was not reassuring, so she was naturally more cautious.
In fact, the Willow Mill family has been running a mill for several generations, and many taboos are clear, such as their kitchen is far away from the mill, except for the iron pot in the kitchen, and no iron tools are allowed in the mill, which is the experience left by the ancestors.
The next willow mill called his children to call Song Haonian to grind noodles, Song Haonian said to Lily, took his mask and went out.
When he arrived at the mill, Liu Mill looked at his strange-looking mask and smiled, and Song Haonian said: "Don't laugh, your voice is dumb, but you suck this flour for more miles when you breathe out." You should also make a mask and wear it. ”
He was kind-hearted, but the Willow Mill didn't smile, remembering that his ancestors didn't live long for several generations, and when he was in his forties, he had heart and lung problems and coughed up blood, I'm afraid he didn't really suck flour and suck it out?
I'd rather believe in this kind of thing, and it's not troublesome to make a mask, and Liu Mill turned around and asked his mother-in-law to wear a mask like Song Haonian, not to mention, after wearing it, coughing and hoarseness are less.
This is not to mention, Liu Mill and Song Haonian entered the mill, and the lights could not be lit inside, and the light was a little dim. In the small window, through a beam of heavenly light, flour danced in this light.
Song Haonian got used to it for a while before he could see the inside clearly, and carried his bag to the stone mill, and the willow mill swept away the remaining wheat bran of the previous person, and began to add wheat to the stone mill.
This mill fan is hydraulically propulsed, but the speed is still controlled by people, and this is what Willow Mill does. Song Haonian wanted to take a small broom and constantly sweep the wheat grains into the mill.
A bucket of wheat, only half a bag of flour and half a bag of wheat bran are beaten, and it is easy to feed pigs and chickens.
Song Haonian went home with his noodle bag, and he became a noodle person, even his eyelashes were white, and Lily was funny and distressed, so he hurriedly found a dry hand towel and patted him all over his body.
I sent him to take a bath, and it took two or three changes in the water to wash it off, and he would no longer splash flour from his hair.
Lily said: "I'm tired of you today." "She especially doesn't like the feeling of being covered in flour, and it's not easy to wash.
Song Haonian has a different opinion on today's experience: "I feel that I am a lot white!" Lily smiled, he always thought that black Zhuang was majestic, if she hadn't stopped him, and deliberately went to the sun to tan himself black, at this time, he talked about white, obviously to make her happy.
