There are thirty-seven small baskets in total, the big ones are as long as the small arms, the small ones are not much bigger than the palms, the bamboo silk is split very finely, Li Liang craftsmen skillfully weave out the round, plum blossoms, sunflowers, rhombic flowers and lace, and there are thin handles, some single strands, some double strands, one by one small and exquisite, it does not look like a basket, but like a work of art.

Li Mingjiang also asked: "Do you think it is still suitable?"

Lily nodded heavily: "Dad, you are so skillful!"

She knows how to weave the big bamboo baskets that she commonly uses: a few pieces of wood are bent into the shape of two upturns, tied into a cross shape or hexagon, and then wrapped with a piece of bamboo strips one mile and one outside, and the closing place is made into a handle, which is very laborious. Unskilled people can't weave a basket in two or three days, and a skilled craftsman like Li Mian can weave three or four baskets a day.

The small basket is not big, but splitting bamboo pieces and carefully weaving patterns will only be more troublesome, and Li Mingjiang drove out nearly forty baskets in a few days, no wonder his eyes are full of red blood when he is tired.

was praised by his daughter, Li Mingjiang felt that his efforts were not in vain, and laughed innocently.

Lily said, "Dad, don't bother so much in the future, just send me twenty or thirty every five days." Qingsong, you watch my father for me, he wants to do more work, you tell me. ”

Qingsong agreed, and asked Lily again: "Sister, I'll go out to play for a while." ”

Lily saw that this kid really couldn't sit still, and told him not to run around, and to come back on time to eat: "There are eggs to eat at noon, don't forget." ”

Li Qingsong promised to run away, Li Mingjiang took a look here, looked there, Song Haonian cleaned up the house before leaving, and there was no room for him to do it.

Seeing Lily go to the kitchen to cook, he hurriedly said, "Big girl, make less, you can keep the eggs and eat them yourself." ”

Lily smiled: "Dad, the chicken baby I raised also laid eggs, so I'm not afraid that I won't have to eat." ”

Li Mingjiang grinned, and was afraid that his daughter would not have enough firewood for cooking, so he planned to go to the firewood pile behind the house to chop some firewood for her. Who knew that after turning to the house, in addition to a chicken coop, I also saw firewood piled up into a hill, all of which were split and stacked neatly, and could be taken and used at any time.

"Big girl, did you chop this firewood?"

Lily poked her head out of the kitchen, "Where can I chop? It's all your son-in-law, I'm afraid that he won't have enough firewood to burn, so he chops so much for me." ”

Only then did Li Mingjiang believe that Song Haonian was really good to the big girl, and his heart was a little more relaxed. The girl is already a member of the Song family, if Song Haonian is not good to the girl, he can't do anything, so he has to feel sorry for the girl in his heart and subsidize her every day.

The girl is doing well, of course, it couldn't be better.

Today's lunch is more sumptuous than usual, in the past, it was a family again, married, the old father and younger brother were guests, if Lily was rude, the Song family would gossip about her.

Fragrant and hot yellow rice, scrambled eggs with Tsubaki sprouts, cold gray cabbage, and a pot of egg drop soup.

Blanching the gray cabbage, putting a little salt and vinegar on it is very fragrant, and the lily took the time to go to Li Caifeng's house to borrow a few heads of garlic, which can be sterilized and disinfected in the dish, and increase the fragrance.

Add some water to the oil of the toon fried in the pot and knock an egg into it, which is a bowl of nutritious egg drop soup.

In the countryside, the highest specification of entertaining guests is a pot of boiled poached eggs in broth, although the lily does not cook meat or make poached eggs, but there are eggs and vegetables on the table, which is already a passable life.

Qingsong is the age when half the eldest child eats the poor old man, running outside sweating profusely, and when he comes back, his eyes are shining when he sees the food.

In the Li family, if there are eggs and meat in the pot, they are usually reserved for Qingsong, and the extra ones may be Li Mingjiang and his wife, and in the end, it is the turn of the three daughters.

Lily does not intend to get used to the problem of green pine, and uses chopsticks and spatula to divide the egg yolk into three equal parts, one for each person for three people, and the fried and boiled egg flowers are eaten according to their own taste.

Li Qingsong bit his chopsticks and smiled: "Sister, I just want to say that you can keep the egg yolk and eat it yourself, but fortunately you can share a little with me." ”

Lily smiled and said, "Just talk a lot!

The younger brother knows that he feels sorry for his sister, and he hasn't been used to too many bad things by his mother, and Lily thinks it's a good day.

The countryside pays attention to the mother's uncle, and if the lily gives birth to a child in the future, the closest person is Qingsong. The married daughter can only rely on her mother's brother, and if the brother is not successful, no matter how capable she is, she will be dragged to death.

Fortunately, this brother doesn't seem to be promising, but there is no major problem, as long as he teaches her well, he will not hold her back in the future.

Not long after eating, Li Mingjiang said that he wanted to go home, and Lily did not open his mouth to stay longer, since there was no rule for the old man to live in his son-in-law's house, and then he went back to the mountains for a long time, and he was afraid of getting dark or raining without moving.

Baiyi told them to go slower again, and filled the bamboo tube with boiling warm water in the bamboo tube that Li Mingjiang carried with him, and then watched the two leave.

Most of the garlic borrowed by Lily and Liu Yi's sister-in-law are purple-skinned one-headed garlic. Purple-skinned garlic is more fragrant and thicker than white-skinned garlic, and one-headed garlic is particularly delicious.

Before the lily crossed, "garlic you are ruthless" for a while, the purple garlic in the vegetable market rose to more than ten yuan a catty, and the one-headed garlic was even more expensive. Nowadays, half of the onions, ginger and garlic eaten by every household in the countryside are grown by themselves, and most of them go to the market to get grain, eggs and other things in exchange for vegetable farmers.

She is diligent and thrifty, so she naturally has to save everything, and the family's ten acres of land are rented to Master Liu's family to grow sweet potatoes, and she can still do it by planting some vegetables in the yard and eating lilies by herself.

There are still a few heads of garlic left over from cooking, and she picks out the more intact ones as seeds, and leaves the damaged ones as seasonings.

Say do it, the courtyard of the bamboo fence is not small, Lily picked a piece of sunny, close to the well and will not block the way, from the west side to find Song Haonian used to repair the fence before the head, delineate a vegetable area, turn up the soil inside, pick up the stones, the big clods are broken, half a day to open up a small piece of vegetable land of ten square meters.

Lily felt that she might have not worked for too long, and that she would have back pain after doing a little bit. After the vegetable patch was opened, I endured the backache and poured a few buckets of water, and it was almost dark.

She went back to the kitchen and soaked the garlic seeds she had picked in the water, and after a night, the garlic head had already revealed a little swollen white spot.

Taking advantage of the good light, Lily broke the garlic heads, pressed them into the soft and damp soil one by one, and pressed a few more garlic into them, watered them again, and found some straw (Note 1) to get up, so that the sun would not be too big and the garlic would rot in the ground.

There are chickens at home, and they are driven around the vegetable patch every day without additional manure.

Within two days, thin white sprouts appeared on the ground, which quickly grew into green, and quickly drew into thin and long garlic seedlings. Garlic sprouts are a delicious condiment, which is spicy and fragrant when used to stir-fry meat, and it is also very delicious to chop and make scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts.

Since lily came to this world, the most commonly eaten condiment is salt, followed by autumn oil, vinegar, and a few heads of garlic. Now that she has planted garlic seedlings, she can't help but think about planting more green onions, ginger and the like to improve her life.
