When the autumn harvest was almost over, Song Haonian had already sent the last batch of dried roses of the year to the rose estate, leaving only a small part at home for his own use. The dew is also steamed out and sold everywhere. The Rose Manor knew that his family had made the rose dew by themselves, but they didn't care that the method of making the rose dew was secret in their manor, and it was easy not to spread it, but everyone knew that the Jinyi Wei was powerful and pervasive, so they couldn't inquire about it

The secret.

Steward Lu said: "This Song Haonian is a person from Jinyiwei, and it is not difficult to get a way to get steamed flower dew, and their business is only done in those counties, but I am afraid that Beijing is bitter and wants to get some extra money subsidies." It doesn't affect our business, so don't worry about them. ”

Although the forces behind their manor are strong and they are not afraid of Tiqi, there is no need to take the initiative to provoke.

Sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc. are also harvested, corn bundles are hung under the eaves, sweet potatoes and potatoes are so big, some of them are as big as an apricot face, let alone three or four catties, if there are few people in the family, one is enough to eat a meal. Peppers, cowpeas, these things are also strung and hung up, red red, yellow and yellow, so that when the sun goes down, the flash is very beautiful. Last year, in order to save seeds, Lily did not dare to eat more chili peppers, this year's chili harvest, she only left a small number of seeds, thinking of cooking rice in the winter to put some chili peppers

Go, the corners of his mouth showed a smile.

Tomatoes and courgettes are perishable in water, and those that should be pickled are pickled and those that should be hidden. In particular, tomatoes and lilies should be sealed in a jar, and a small handful of straw should be burned before sealing to exhaust the air in the jar to slow down the decay, or sugar should be added and boiled into tomato sauce for preservation.

Tomatoes can be stored for a maximum of one or two months, and tomato sauce will not be a problem until next year.

There are still a small amount of cabbage, radish, green onions, garlic and the like in the ground, which are not damaged by frost, and can be eaten even in the snow, so they are left alone.

Song Haonian discussed: "The busiest days have finally passed, everyone has worked hard for a year, we have to pay the wages that should be paid, and then I want to invite everyone to have a meal at home." ”

Song Haonian nodded: "Don't be tired." ”

Tidying up a meal at home has long been a matter of ease for Lily, even if there are many people eating, it is just a matter of spending a little more effort and calling two people to help, and the most capable country woman can manage more than 20 people to eat.

Pick a good day, Song Haonian called everyone over, counted this year's wages in the hall, and kept them to eat.

Song Ermei has a wide heart, she only remembers the approximate days, and she asks Song Haonian to count Wang Yongxing and his family carefully, and they can clearly say which month and day they failed to come to work.

Song Haonian said with a smile: "If you say that your wages are calculated in January and January, how can you deduct your money in the middle of the day or two? People always have to rest for a day or two." ”

Erase the days when I didn't come to work, I calculated it with a pen, sent money, and said: "Lily and I thought that planting flowers in the first year of this year is a good thing not to lose money, and I don't want to make some money, thanks to everyone's sincere help, we all remember your benefits." ”

"There is nothing else, the flower dew that was only steamed this year, you all take ten **, go home or give it away, or use it for yourself, it is decent. Besides, one more person will be paid an extra month's salary, and we will thank you for your efforts, and we will farm well next year, and we will earn more when the time comes. ”

His words were reasonable, and everyone was happy and praised him for his generosity. Song Ermei pushed her husband Liu Ping'an, who came with her: "You still said that I can't make a lot of money, I only know how to come to Danian's house to do tricks, but now I can see it." ”

Liu Ping'an smiled and said, "Yes, I know now that you earn no less than me." ”

Song Ermei was very proud, turned around and went to the kitchen to help Lily, only to see that she had already steamed rice, the rice was new rice that had only come down this year, and the sparkling light lotus root pork rib soup was stewed on the stove, exuding aroma outside. The pickled Songhua eggs are cut into petals, a small pile of chili peppers is piled in the middle, and the sauce is poured on top, and a small piece of egg yolk is in the middle of each petal, which is as beautiful as a flower. The dried gray cabbage in the spring is boiled with water, and it is a cold dish after a cold dressing. The cold pork belly strips are mixed with five colors

The six-color kimchi and sour and spicy pickled peppers are especially flavorful.

Lily asked Song Ermei to help her scrape a few potatoes, rub them into shreds with a gratude, and fry them before serving, which was fragrant and crispy. Shredded potatoes can't be fried too early, otherwise they won't taste good.

There were several piles of dough of different colors in her hands, and Song Ermei was stunned: "What are you doing here?"

Lily smiled and sold Guanzi, but she refused to say, just kneaded the dough into the shape of a small bowl and put it on the cage drawer to steam. He also chopped soybeans, corn kernels, peppers, carrots, and fungus into dices, and fried them with the meat foam until fragrant.

There are two square tables in the hall, and Lily first puts the cold dishes on the table, and toasts everyone with Song Haonian, and invites everyone to eat cold dishes first.

She went back to the kitchen to get a big plate, put the meat foam stir-fry into it, and then put a few colors of noodles in a circle around it, and then Song Ermei understood: "This is to put the vegetables into the nest and eat it by yourself?"

"It's called a good harvest. As soon as this dish was served, everyone praised: "How many ingenuity there are in this color alone!"

The golden one is cornmeal, the white one is wheat flour, the red one is mixed with rose juice, and the green one is added with wormwood juice.

Meat foam and corn kernels, soybean grains and other vegetables fried together, the more you chew, the more fragrant, scoop a spoonful of stuffed in the noodle nest, a bite is full of oil fragrance, the fungus is crisp and tender, the chili pepper is the most delicious and want to eat.

Lily quickly served hot and sour shredded potatoes, eggplant, potatoes, and chili peppers fried together, plus rice and pork rib soup, and sat down at the table to eat.

While eating, she kept urging everyone to eat more, and went to the kitchen to add vegetables, Song Haonian saw that she was too busy, and pressed her to the seat: "You sit, I'll add vegetables." "In the countryside, men often eat, and women are asked to add food and vegetables, and if the man is weaker, people will laugh at the man for being afraid of his wife. Song is very generous, he is not afraid of others laughing at him, and others are not laughing at him, they all laugh at Lily: "You only married in this house a few years ago, and you saw Danian."

I can't wait to get into the stove, but what about now?"

Lily pursed her lips and smiled: "I was still young at the time, how old am I now, don't laugh at me about what happened when I was a child." ”

A few years ago, she was seventeen or eighteen years old, and when she talked about herself, she was all ashamed, Song Ermei slapped the table and laughed first, pointing at Lily and almost laughing: "You were an apricot a few years ago!"

Everyone was satisfied with this meal, and when everyone dispersed, Song Haonian said: "Let's go see the old man and mother-in-law in two days." ”

Lily smiled while washing the dishes: "Okay." ”

When I went to the city before, I saw Yingchun helping Lamei, although it was not as good as the original spirit, it was much better than the days when the accident happened.

Lily quietly told her about the replacement of the official family in Liufu, and Yingchun clapped her hands and said: "I'll just say that their family is not a good thing, and now it's good that they are all gone, so as not to stumble behind your back!"

Lily asked her if she wanted to go back to the town, and Yingchun turned gray. After a while, he said, "I'm at ease in the city, and I don't want to go back." ”

"If you don't want to go back, you won't go back. "Lily saw that her sister was doing well, and she was happy for her.

Now that Yingchun is having a good time, although she has not yet come out of the shadow of Liu Yaowen's incident, her hoarse voice is afraid that she will be with her for the rest of her life, but she is no longer looking for death and life, and her days are also rushing, Lily consciously has an explanation for her conscience, so she is willing to go back to see her father.

Li Mingjiang and the old Zhu family are too old to do work, Li Mingjiang's legs and feet are not good, coupled with this year's drought, the harvest in the field is not enough to eat except for the grain left for next year.

Zhu thought about it: "A few big girls and three girls eat and drink spicy, can they still make their parents starve to death?" Even if we don't grow anything, we won't starve to death!"

Li Mingjiang said to her first: "It's one thing for a girl to be filial, and the two of us haven't been able to walk or move our heads, so why do we have to rely on the married girl to support us?"

Seeing that he didn't move, he thought about it for a long time, and then came up with a reason: "You can save more money for Qingsong." ”

The more they earn, the more green pines will get in the future.

Zhu looked at Qingsong as an eyeball, and when he heard that he had saved money for Qingsong, he didn't mention the matter of asking his daughter to raise him: "You old goods still have two points, and I have to keep those good things for Qingsong, and now I will use them for you to spoil good things." ”

Li Mingjiang told her to bury her for half her life, she was used to it, and she didn't say anything.

When Song Haonian and Lily drove the mules and carried large bags of things back to their parents' house, they saw that Zhu still had something to grow at home to entertain them, Song Haonian persuaded Zhu: "You do some work, take more maintenance, and we have everything for you." ”

Zhu said: "We are not too old to move, you can say this again when you can't move!"

Lily was very surprised: Why did my mother change sex today?

It's rare for Zhu to understand so well not to be confused, Lily is a little more kind to her, and before leaving, she gives her the same money, telling her to save expenses, and if she wants to use it for half a year or a few months, it will not be a problem.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the daughter-in-law and son-in-law left, the Zhu family pressed the money at the bottom of the box, the lid of the box was locked, and the key was hung on his waist.

Li Mingjiang sighed and walked to the side to weave a bamboo basket.

He hadn't worked for almost two years since he fell and was injured, and now he only felt that his hands were raw. These days, he asked a boy in his teenage years to help him chop some bamboo, and he is slowly practicing his previous skills, not to mention supporting his own old family, and he can always subsidize his daughter. He saw that Song Haonian used old baskets to send them things several times, so he knew that the big girl didn't have enough baskets, so he could still struggle while he was still struggling, so he could do some work for the big girl.
