The rice harvest in July, the peasants, who had been resting for a few days, were busy again.

Planting rice is an extremely hard job, and so is harvesting rice, even the strong laborers secretly complain about hardship, and those who are a little weaker will faint from heat stroke at every turn.

Fortunately, Liujia Grange prepared honeysuckle water and mung bean soup early this time, so that the long-term workers in the village did not suffer from heat stroke again.

Song Haonian thought the mung bean soup was very delicious, and when he came back, he said to Lily: "I think the mung bean soup tastes good, don't cook honeysuckle for me in the future, make some mung beans." Lily blinked, and then remembered that he hadn't seen mung beans here, and he had forgotten about this heat-killing artifact, so that Song Haonian had taken a lot of bitter medicine in vain. When she went to consult Aunt Sheng, Aunt Sheng only thought about medicine and nourishment, but she didn't expect such a smart and clever little daughter-in-law

There are times when you can't think of mung beans.

She was very sorry in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and said confidently: "Mung beans are not easy to buy, you should drink honeysuckle water." ”

When Song Haonian heard this reason, he nodded and didn't reason, he thought it was his daughter-in-law's negligence, so he specially told her, but he didn't expect the mung bean stubble.

This person is so easy to deceive, Lily almost laughed out loud when she saw that Song Haonian believed it, and admitted to him in a low voice: "I was stupid for a while, but I didn't expect it." ”

Song Haonian has always felt that his daughter-in-law is an honest person, and when he saw her so cunning for the first time, he smiled like a flower, his eyes were watery, half of his body was crispy, and holding his daughter-in-law was a toss, and whispered in her ear: "Give me a doll." ”

The doll born by his daughter-in-law must be smart and clever, and everyone loves her.

Lily turned around and quickly made up for his mistake, and found someone to buy a few liters of mung beans and come back to cook soup for him.

Boil mung beans until they are ripe and bloom, filter out the dregs, and add sugar after cooling, which is a common mung bean soup. Lily went to the pharmacy to buy some dried osmanthus flowers, and the mung bean soup cooked out carried the aroma of osmanthus flowers.

Lily always has some careful thinking about these daily food and clothing, it doesn't cost much money and effort, but it can raise the level of life by one or two grades at once, even Song Haonian feels that the days are a lot more exquisite, and he sighed and said: "Daughter-in-law, your thoughts, the young grandmother of a big family is just like that." ”

Lily nodded his forehead with a smile: "Where can I do it, the attention of the big families is gone!"

She goes in and out of the Liu family every day, and she also knows that the young grandmother of the Liu family is from a scholarly family, and she has heard of some of her exquisiteness, such as drinking tea with the snow water of the old year, and then sending the little girl to go more than ten miles away to fetch mountain spring water, and she thinks that the river water and well water are fishy, so she doesn't use them.

For example, incense is smoked every day in the house, and the incense smoked in different seasons is also different.

For example, there are flowers and fruits in the house in all seasons, and sometimes I see the little girl from the young grandmother's house in the kitchen, who is dressed differently from others, and it is a flower, which is very elegant.

Lily's careful thinking is to make her life more comfortable, the young grandmother of the Liu family is really exquisite, she is afraid that she can't even compare to the big girl in the young grandmother's house.

Besides, this Liu family is just a squire's family, and it is a first-class family in Qingliu Town, and it is not enough to put it in a big place. What the real wealthy and scholarly family looks like, people really can't think of it.

The young couple are poor people who only have a few taels of silver in their hands, and they are very interested in the exquisiteness of the rich, Song Haonian likes to listen to his daughter-in-law talk about things slowly and logically, and it makes people feel refreshed when they hear it, even if these parents are short, they also make him feel interesting.

Song Haonian listened for a while, and said: "In the future, we will make money, and we will also call you to live like a young grandmother!" Lily smiled and said: "People are beating children, where am I used to live like that? I don't want to be rich and rich, but just peace and joy.

”

Song Haonian chewed the words "peace and joy" carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he tasted, and he was a little stupid for a while. He is not a dull person, he can understand it at one point, think about it, life in the world, isn't it just these four simple words?

It's just that it's not easy to do these four words, in addition to your own efforts, luck is also indispensable.

Song Haonian felt that he could marry a daughter-in-law, which was the greatest luck in his life, and with Lily in the future, his luck would not be bad.

In addition to boiling mung bean soup, mung beans can also be eaten by making some mung bean sprouts while the weather is hot. The lily soaked the mung beans in water, and put the gauze on the lid in a ventilated place, and it will give out white shoots in two days.

Mung bean sprouts are white and tender, and they don't have the beany smell of soybean sprouts, and they taste exceptionally refreshing and crisp. Stir-fried bean sprouts and boiled soup are delicious, blanched in water, and mixed with fresh and fresh shredded courgette, the noodles are crispy and tender.

Lily soaked a pot of rice again, or went to the neighbor's house to borrow a small mill, the last time she made vegetable tofu, she borrowed the neighbor's mill, and after the tofu was made, it was distributed to his family.

There are a lot of things borrowed and borrowed in the countryside, and giving something is a favor, and the neighbors don't think that Lily is taking advantage of her and using her things indiscriminately.

In the words of the sister-in-law next door, where things are put are idle, they are idle, and if someone wants to use them, they don't have to spoil them in vain.

The stone grinder finely grinded the rice into snow-white rice milk, the consistency was just enough to flow and hang on the spoon, and Lily took out the freshly beaten thin iron tweezers.

A few days ago, she was on the set, and she happened to meet someone who mended the pot and made the pan, the pan is a pan, and the thicker one used to make the cake is called a bell, and the one that is beaten thin is called a pan.

The two freshly beaten pans were shining, and when they were cleaned, the lily boiled them in boiling water, put them in a pot of boiling water, and let them float on the surface.

Scoop the rice milk into the pan, shake it gently, the rice milk will slide along the round bottom of the pan, solidify, affected by the high temperature of boiling water, the rice milk slowly solidifies, and becomes a thin, translucent skin.

At this time, take a tweezer out, put the bottom in cold water for a while, peel off the skin while it is hot, and smear it with cooked rapeseed oil to prevent adhesion, which is a hot, fragrant and flexible rice skin.

The rice milk was just enough to make fifteen pieces of rice pastry, and ordinary people were full after eating one or two, so Lily sent a few to the neighbor's house, and went to Liu Yi and other brothers' houses and told them not to make dinner, but to come to the house to eat.

When everyone heard that she had made hot rice pastry, they were very looking forward to it, and they smiled and promised to go to dinner.

The dough should be cut into finger-wide strips to be delicious, but this hot rice skin is exceptionally soft and glutinous, and it must be cut into palm-wide strips to make it taste better.

The bottom of the bowl is stacked with mung bean sprouts, covered with a piece of cut rice skin, poured with chicken soup and seasoning sauce, whether it is eaten hot or cold, it is delicious.

Hot rice skin and vegetable tofu are a perfect match, one is salty and fragrant, so that people want to eat it, and the other is sweet and sour, and when you drink a mouthful of the bottom of your tongue, your eyes are bright.

People who are tired for a day eat such things effortlessly, cool and nutritious, after the brothers finished eating, Wang Xiaofu also said: "These days, I see a lot of wild rabbits, all of them are very fat, if you have time to set some more." ”

Lily is still raising the white rabbit that Song Haonian put on, it is so fat and strong, the black tiger has to sniff it several times a day, every time he wants to eat it, Lily does not let it, so he has to endure it.

Liu Yi said: "After harvesting the rice, it will be autumn, and the wild beasts in the mountains can also grow good fur, so let's take the opportunity to hunt some prey and sell it outside, and this year will have a fat year." ”

The brothers all nodded yes, they are all young and strong, unwilling to waste their lives in the confusion, and dig out their hearts to find a livelihood, all in order to earn a better life for themselves and their families.

Lily worked as a teacher in the town elementary school in her last life, and she didn't make breakfast herself, so she solved it at a small stall outside the school, and the most she ate was hot rice pastry.

Now that she has made hot rice noodles by herself, she has the idea of selling them for breakfast again, but Song Haonian persuaded her: "It took you half a day to make such a little bit, and if you take it out and sell it for money, how many bowls can you make?"

"This thing is so troublesome, you just get up in the middle of the night and light the lamp to grind rice milk, and you can't grind many miles until early in the morning. He felt that his family was now quite generous, and his daughter-in-law did not have to get up in the middle of the night to suffer the sin.

Lily thinks too, the small stall she often eats, people have an electric mill, when will she grind with a stone alone?

It's not that she has made up her mind to make a living by selling rice skin, she still has more tricks. I had to press this thought and continue to live some ordinary days.

Rice is different from wheat, cut and threshed in the rice field, a huge wooden bucket is placed locally, several sturdy men directly hold a bundle of rice on the edge of the wooden bucket and beat, the rice grains fall off the straw, and the rain generally falls into the wooden bucket.

After the rice grains are dried in the threshing floor, they are sent to the barn for storage until they are ready to eat, and then they are taken out and the husk is ground off the surface, revealing the white grains inside, which is the rice used for cooking.

Cutting rice is not too hot, and the trouble is in the threshing process, that is, a strong laborer like Song Haonian, who has a sore back at the end of the day, and is so tired that he can't even chew the rice, so Lily has to change the dinner to sour rice with syrup, so that he can eat it in soup.

Once she felt sorry for him, his arms were shaking, and she wanted to feed him, which made Song Haonian blush, and finally insisted on shaving rice by herself.

The next day, Lily went to the market and bought a wooden spoon, which was more convenient to eat sour rice with slurry water than chopsticks.

Song Haonian muttered: "I'm not a child" is such a big person, and he also eats with a spoon, so that people can see the joke. That being said, the spoon is so good that he can have a good meal. He knew that his daughter-in-law was distressed and considerate of herself, so she said a few words back then, pretending to be dissatisfied to cover up her feelings, and when she looked back and talked to others, she was proud: "My daughter-in-law, that really takes me to heart."

"The people who work in the Grange hate Song Haonian so much: Show that you have a daughter-in-law?
