As early as when cooking, Li Caifeng set aside a few of his own shares, first sent the rice to the brothers in the field to eat, and then brought the two sisters back to eat.

In the morning, steamed buns or steamed buns must be served; at noon, most of them are noodles, and when it is cold, they are made with noodles, and when it is hot, they are made with slurry water; and at dinner, it is more sumptuous, with a pot of yellow and white rice, three dishes and one soup as the standard.

In the countryside, other people's strong laborers come to help with the work, and they are all entertained like this, otherwise no one will come next time. 's own mother's brothers, Li Caifeng can't treat them badly, and he is expected to be full.

The small half pot of sour and fragrant rice was reheated, and after a while, it exuded an amazing aroma. The noodles are wheat yellow noodles that have been ground twice, the dough is cooked in advance, rolled out into a large sheet on the case, cut into thin noodles with a large cutting knife, shake it into the pot where the water splashes tumbling, pay attention to the thin as paper, thin as a line, and turn into the lotus flower in the pot.

The noodles are cooked, and the noodles have just been boiled, and half a bowl of noodles is poured with two spoonfuls of sour and fragrant noodles, and several people can't help but swallow their saliva.

The pork with fat and thin is cut into cubes, fried with minced ginger, dogwood (Note 1) and Sichuan peppercorns, stewed for a while with autumn oil and a large amount of aged vinegar, and then added water.

Li Caifeng also added some egg skin and gray cabbage to the soup to make the soup more delicious and chewy, plus the noodles gluten, a bowl of hot noodles went down, several people sweated, and the fatigue of the day disappeared.

After eating, Lily told Li Caifeng about how she wanted to make a pair of insoles for Song Haonian, and asked her if she had any tricks. You must know that each woman has her own unique patterns in these years, which are generally traced or cut out with paper, carefully collected, and only taken out and depicted on the cloth when they are needed, and they are easily unwilling to lend to others.

Hearing Lily say this, Li Caifeng smiled: "You have a heart, I'll find it for you." She smiled with a little bit of urgency in her face, and Lily couldn't help but blush.

For a while, Li Caifeng came back looking for tricks, and quietly stuffed two eggs to Lily: "You take it back to eat it to make up for your body." ”

Eggs are valuable in the countryside, and some people raise their own chickens and don't eat a few eggs all year round. Whoever gives birth to a child or is sick, it is already a heavy gift to bring eight eggs to visit.

Lily has lived for so long, she has eaten a lot of chicken and chicken soup, and she has never eaten eggs once, and she has no egg skin left in the bowl just now, and even drank all the soup.

Li Caifeng saw it in her eyes, thinking that when the chicks raised by Lily had not yet laid eggs, she had the heart to give her two eggs. He also taught her: "Don't throw away the eggshells, crush them for the chickens to eat, and they will be able to lay eggs in a few days!"

Eggshells can supplement calcium, which can indeed improve egg grain production.

Lily excused herself, "I don't lack food and clothing now, Sister Caifeng, you can keep it for Xing'er to eat." ”

Li Caifeng feigned anger: "You are so polite, don't you treat me as a sister? Even if you don't recognize me as a sister, Danian will always recognize me as a sister-in-law." Where is the apricot missing?"

Lily had the heart to say that she was an adult, and there were a lot of people who stuttered, but she didn't say it in Li Caifeng's pretended to be stern after all.

She took the egg and carefully held it in her hand, and the people at this time were so simple that they were touching. Li Caifeng has a great kindness to her, she always says thank you on her lips but seems frivolous, there is always a chance to repay in the future, just keep it in your heart.

Lily took the eggs home, put them in the chaff pile in the shade of the kitchen, sprinkled a handful of chaff for the half-grown chickens at home, moved the table to a well-lit place at the door, and prepared to make a pair of insoles for Song Haonian.

The shoe sample is rubbed on a piece of yellow paper with a fire, this kind of yellow paper is generally burned on the Qingming Festival, it is very rough and easy to leak ink, and the poor sometimes use it to wrap things, and only the fire and charcoal strips can write on it.

Lily cut out the shoe pattern with scissors, re-extended it on the white cloth, turned it over and extended it again, and obtained two shoe prints of the same size. There is no need to cut this first, Lily uses an embroidered bandage to prop up the white cloth, and uses a thin blackened wicker to trace the pattern given by Li Caifeng.

The flowers used on the insole, most of them are patterns such as double happiness, peace, magpie and plum, Li Caifeng gave the appearance of magpie plum, a ball of plum blossoms, two magpies, it is very troublesome to do.

Lily looked at the painted insole, she didn't have many colored lines in her hands, and if she wanted to look good, she still had to buy colored lines. Although she set a rule for herself not to spend money indiscriminately, she was not stingy in this matter, and planned to wait until tomorrow to buy color threads on the set.

If you can't embroider flowers for a while, you can first make the bottom of the insole, and if you don't show the bottom, you won't use a good cloth, just stick it in one place with a rag head and make it look like a shoe print.

Lily went to the kitchen, saw that the fire buried in the stove had not been extinguished, opened a crack and let it burn a little, took a spoonful of black noodles and put it in a bowl, added enough water, put it on the fire and stirred, and waited for the water temperature to rise slowly, and the batter became sticky.

After stirring for a while, the batter becomes thicker and thicker, and the stickiness becomes more and more sticky, and you get a bowl of batter, which can be used to stick to the soles of your shoes.

The rags were covered with paste, and they were glued layer by layer, and each layer of paste she had to smash with a mallet so that they would not fall apart later. After five or six layers of paste, stop, put the insole under the straw mat and press it to dry in the shade so as not to deform.

These things are trivial and hard to do, but Lily doesn't feel bored, because it is done for Song Haonian, she redoubles her heart, and must do her best under limited conditions.

I ate well at Liu Yi's house at noon, and the lily didn't make too much in the evening, only cooked half a pot of millet porridge, ate it once in the evening, and ate another meal tomorrow morning.

Not long after eating, it was dark, and Lily closed the door, tied it with a wooden bolt, and lay alone on the bed. The evening in early spring was still very cool, Song Haonian brought bear skin when he went out, fortunately, the bedding was washed, the lily was diligent, and the nose smelled the fragrance of the sun.

She was thinking about where Song Haonian was going now, but the girl had limited cognition, she only knew Liushan Village and Qingliu Town, and she didn't even know which direction the county seat was, so Lily had to guess by herself.

Outside, the Baishui River continues all year round, and the sound of the river washing the stones always echoes in the ears, and the sound of insects chirping in the spring night is a little more vibrant than the complete silence.

Lily thought of the insoles pressed under her mattress, and a smile appeared on her lips.

By the time Song Haonian came back, she must have made this pair of insoles, and the man would definitely have a smile mixed with surprise and embarrassment on his face, which made her laugh too.

Although she had just been separated for a short time, she already missed him a little. Lily rolled over and fell into a deep sleep.
