The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the sun is shining on the backs of the peasants, all of them are sweating, and their movements are like fished out of water.

At this time, it is also the most important time to plant and repair canals, even if the sun is big, you can't hide idle, otherwise the harvest of the year will be wasted.

People don't like to eat very much when it's hot, Song Haonian is such a strong young man, he is plain and loves meat, he can't eat the food, and he has to force himself to eat a bowl.

He worked a lot, and his nutrition could not keep up with it for a few days, so he lost so much weight that his cheeks were sagging, and Lily was so anxious that he tried his best to regulate his diet and look forward to rain.

It's just that this weather will not fulfill people's wishes, although it is cool when it rains, you can't make money if you can't work, and you still hope that it won't rain in the sky, so that you can earn some money and food for your livelihood.

Lily digs a lot of koji and endive from the wild, these two things are the most flavorful to make sour syrup, and they are better than celery and rape.

Wash the vegetables and cut off the thick roots, put them in the basket and wash them over and over again, hundreds of times, no dirt is left, if you don't do this, the last sour water can't be put away, and it will be bad in two days.

Blanch the vegetables in boiling water, put them in a relatively large pottery jar, and then sprinkle two handfuls of flour in a pot of water to make a thin paste, and pour them into the jar. After cooling, add water to the edge of the jar and seal it, put it in a cool place and let it ferment for a few days.

Waiting for the pulp to ferment is a stupid way, Lily knew that Wang Xiaofu's mother made a good slurry, so she took two eggs to the door to ask for some slurry soup, commonly known as "sour feet".

The eldest lady of the Wang family makes slurry water every year, and the syrup water at home is constantly paused, and there are many people who beg her for sour feet on weekdays, she refuses to accept the lily's eggs, scoops a bowl of slurry water for the lily, and says with a smile: "You taste it." ”

The water is best used to flavor noodles or rice, and sometimes people who are thirsty will drink it directly. Lily lowered her head and took a sip on the edge of the bowl, which was so sour that she blurted out: "It's so sour!"

After the initial sour taste has passed, there is a mellow fragrance and sweetness, no wonder Wang Damiang's syrup water is famous, and she knows that it is excellent when she drinks this sip alone.

Aunt Wang told Lily how to seal the slurry water, how to prevent the hot slurry water from causing white flowers, and how to make white flowers When she heard it, she couldn't help nodding: "Fortunately, Aunt told me, otherwise I would still be stupid." ”

When he came back from Wang's house, he poured his sour feet into his own jar of pulp water, took a wooden spoon that had been scalded and cleaned, stirred well, and sealed it again. With the help of sour feet to ferment, you can eat it tomorrow at most.

Lily remembered what Aunt Wang said, the slurry water can't be stained with any oil, and she thought to herself, this spoon will be used to scoop the slurry water in the future, and nothing else can be done.

The next day, Song Haonian ate the sour and refreshing slurry fish.

Slurry water fish is troublesome to make, in fact, it is not difficult at all, first dry a few basins of water, so that when the slurry fish comes out of the pot, the water will be cold.

The flour is mixed with warm water to form a thick paste, which is a little sticky when dipped in your fingers, but it doesn't drip down like a slimy. Boil a pot of boiling water, take a colander and put it on top of the boiling water pot, scoop a spoonful of batter into it, and the batter will slowly drip down through the round hole in the colander. Looking at the length of the same, after a little shaking, the dripping batter is shaken off, falls into the boiling water, and becomes a round head

The shape of a small fish with a long tail.

After cooking, then use a colander to fish and fish to wash the batter on the surface and make them refreshing and smooth.

Song Haonian came back from work, he was so hot that he was sweating, and he wanted to wash his face with well water, and Lily hurriedly called him: "Prepare hot water, you go and wash." ”

"It's too hot" Song Haonian muttered, and finally listened to his daughter-in-law.

He felt that he was a big man, and he wanted to be determined in big things, and the small things in the family would be left to his daughter-in-law, so that he would not make his daughter-in-law unhappy in such small things.

Unexpectedly, this hot water is very comfortable to wash your face and body, and when you wash it, you feel hot, but after washing, it is so cool that your armpits are windy, unlike after washing with cold water, it burns.

Song Haonian smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law, I know you are smart, but why are you so smart!"

Lily didn't answer, opened the slurry water tank to see, the slurry water has been fermented to a sour and fragrant fragrance, and the soup has become a slightly viscous pale white, which makes people feel refreshed when they see it.

Scoop a bowl of pulp water out, heat the oil and stir-fry a few times, add some garlic slices and green onions, then pour a lot of water into it to boil, and finally put a small amount of salt, it is a pot of pulp soup.

Leaving the soup away from the fire, Lily asked Song Haonian to fetch well water, and she put the slurry water tank in a wooden basin according to what Aunt Wang said, and filled the basin with water. The well water that was just hit was so cold that it was so cold that it was changed every day, and the water that could keep the slurry was not bad in dog days.

When the soup is cold, take a bowl of noodle fish and fish, pour a spoonful of slurry water and eat it. Song Haonian smelled this sour fragrance and began to secrete saliva: "In this weather, you should eat some syrup water to cool down." ”

He took a sip of the soup from the bowl, the warm soup was sour and fragrant, and he also shivered with excitement, and his appetite, which had been sluggish for several days, suddenly opened up, and he took a big bite of rice.

Lily sat and ate face to face with him, and felt that the soup was very fragrant, and drank several bowls in succession.

After eating, Song Haonian licked his lips, "It's delicious, I'll make slurry rice tomorrow." It's just a little lighter."

When the appetite returns, others immediately become refreshed and know how to be picky eaters. He was quite happy to be a picky eater of lilies, and said with a smile, "I'll change the taste tomorrow." ”

Song Haonian put a big head on Lily's shoulder, it was not too hot at this time, he kept rubbing people in his arms, and whispered: "Daughter-in-law, you are so good." ”

Lily had the courage to touch his head, people said that the head of a man and the waist of a woman should not be touched casually, that is called disrespect, but looking at him like this, Lily wants to touch it.

After touching it, Song Haonian didn't jump up and say no, but hummed twice with enjoyment, like a coquettish big golden retriever. Lily amused her association and burst out laughing.

Song Haonian was a little light in eating slurry, so Lily had to think of making some condiments, she still made up her mind from the sauce, the meat sauce was a little greasy in this weather, and she couldn't eat more, so she finally decided to make some leek sauce.

After selling the raspberries, she went to the house where she planted leeks, and told people in a good voice that she wanted to buy some leeks, and the family was also very generous: "The flowering leeks are not easy to sell, you want it, sell it to you cheaply." ”

Lily didn't spend a lot of money to buy a large basket of leek flowers, like little green hedgehogs, and white flowers bloomed on the tips of the thorns. Go home and clean it, dry it on a bamboo plaque, and dry all the water. The first time she woke up in this world, she was really surrounded by four walls, except for a bed and two benches, and there was nothing in the room. Nowadays, large and small jars, jars, back baskets, bamboo baskets, and bamboo plaques alone fill the house everywhere, showing a kind of thriving liveliness

Come.

The dried leek flowers were sprinkled with salt and killed for a while, and the lily was moved out of the kitchen with a stone mortar, which was dug out of a whole piece of delicate bluestone, and the pestle was a bluestone ball, which was hollowed out at one end and had a wooden stick stuck in it.

The stone mortar is not big, and it is more than a bowl of water when it is filled, and she uses this set of stone mortar stone pestle to pound garlic paste and grind peppercorns, and now it is used to make leek sauce.

Prepare a few pieces of ginger, throw a few leeks into the stone mortar and smash it a few times, the spicy and stimulating taste will come out, while pounding, put some ginger into it and crush it together, and finally get a jar of green leek sauce, the leeks in the stone mortar are so many that they are scraped out and put into the jar.

Mix more salt and seal it, keep it like a jar of syrup, and you can eat it until winter.

That night, the slurry water surface was accompanied by a plate of leek sauce, which was salty and fragrant, and Song Haonian was full of praise, and the straight daughter-in-law was skillful. Lily said proudly: "I know a lot, you will know later." ”

"I know now!" Song Haonian's appetite also opened, and his anger was smooth, and he was rubbing on the side when Lily was washing dishes, and he couldn't squirm.

Lily said to him, "What are you doing? Tell me to finish washing my work early, and then I will drop the bowl, but it is your fault." ”

"Daughter-in-law, will you take a bath later?" Song Haonian looked flattering, "I'll rub your back!"

Lily was stunned, understood what he meant, and said with a red face: "I will wash it myself, so I don't need you to rub my back." She bought two old loofah gourds and rubbed her back.

Besides, who can't understand his little plan? This person clearly said that he was rubbing his back, but it was not her idea to beat him secretly?

A timid woman is the most surprising when she suddenly shows her generosity, and a plain and generous person blushes the most sultry by chance.

Song Haonian likes to see his daughter-in-law's red face the most, for no other reason, she is generous on weekdays, and she is not as steady as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old little woman.

This red face shows that it is small. She is light, he can pick it up with one hand, and the two of them are the real newlyweds, and they are a little inseparable from each other.

He twisted Lily's earlobe and whispered, "I'll rub it clean, and you'll let me help you." ”

Lily was embarrassed for a moment, and went with him.

She thought to herself, this is my husband, what's so embarrassing?

Unexpectedly, Song Haonian is a person, usually barely a Tibetan man, a righteous gentleman, and at this time, he is more hooligan than a hooligan, and he is willing to rub his back well at the beginning, he has great strength, and he is very comfortable to rub the lily.

Rubbing his hands together, he went to the place where he shouldn't go, Lily half pushed and half pushed, and then his whole body squeezed into the bath tub! Lily was dumbfounded, and it was too late to push him out, but the two of them moved their hands and feet, which made him angry.

Finally, after washing, the water in the bath bucket was already cold, and there was a big puddle underground, which was stirred up by two people at a glance. Lily was so angry that she beat him: "You sweep this land!"

Song Haonian stepped out of the bathtub with a satisfied face, and Lily felt that he was deliberately boasting about his good figure, wide shoulders, thin waist and long legs. He took his soft daughter-in-law out of the bathtub, wiped it clean and sent it to the bedroom, and did not forget to show himself credit: "Two people wash together, save water." ”
