Chapter 127: Adobe
Lu Yangge saw that Qiu heard it, put down the bowl, patted his buttocks, and found a basket and a small fish to run out.
This is what everyone has agreed a long time ago, and when the forest guards the Happy Ridge in the next day, bring the basket, and everyone takes turns to go to the water's edge to touch the snails.
In this part of Kuaihuoling, because there is no river embankment, the river beach is gentle and wide, and there are many snail river mussels.
River mussels are generally not easy to touch in deep water, but because of the lack of meat on the shore, almost no one catches this thing.
The mussels in Honghu Lake are particularly large, and there are many snails.
Lu Xiaosi thought about it, tomorrow when she went to Ding's house, she would bring a basket of river mussels.
As for the snails, she was going to fry the snails, so now let's touch some and raise them first, so that Xiaoqing can practice her hands.
After the autumn harvest, if the Red Tassel Army doesn't make a fuss, she still wants to go to the dock with her three sisters and Brother Ping'an to do business.
She thought about what to sell, so she sold some food.
For example, stir-fried snails, stewed tofu with river mussels, small fish pot stickers, cold dishes, etc.
It's what you sell cheaply, and what you do at your fingertips.
Coupled with the sturdy brown rice and three-way flour cakes, not to mention that the business will definitely be good, at least it can guarantee that it will not lose money.
If she does it well, she can also adjust the dish according to the situation, and it is not impossible to add a few large dishes.
For example, braised pork, braised rooster......
It's really not good, so I will bring the boxed lunch from my previous life to the routine.
They rely on rivers and lakes here, and the most important thing they need is fish, shrimp, crabs, snails, and mussels, which almost cost no money.
Then go to Ding's house to cut some meat, make a meat dish, and sell it for money by portion when the time comes.
If you want to eat cheap mussels and shrimp, and if you want to eat expensive meat, it is convenient and fast, not much better than those who sell food cakes by the dock.
As soon as Lu Xiaosi left, Qiu's hand to clean up the pork belly lungs stopped.
After thinking about it, she put the cleaned pork belly lungs into the pot, told Xiaoqing to watch some fire, hurriedly untied her apron, and went to the back of the house to find Lu Quan.
Behind the Lu family's house, there is a small dirt bag that is slightly taller.
The entire earthen bag occupies a large area, and the highest place is probably level with the roof of the Lu family.
Because the other six families wanted to dig mud and adobe, Lu Quan discussed with Zhang San and a few of them to dig a cellar behind the house, so that they could cook in winter.
As a result, the cellar was to be dug and they wanted to dig a hole in the small dirt bag to store the grain.
Seeing that the autumn harvest was about to come, the Red Silk Army said that if it was going to be called, it would be called.
When the grain is collected and put at home, they are not very relieved.
Not to mention how the Red Silk Army is, as long as you fight with the capital, it will be your life and death.
The common people are not interested in who will be the emperor, they are more concerned about whether they can eat enough.
The houses of the six families needed more adobe than expected, and they just dug up what should have been dug by the way.
When Qiu arrived at the back slope, he saw that shelves had been erected on the open space.
The half-dried adobe has been put on the shelf, and the freshly pulled out adobe has not yet been finalized, so it can only be placed on a flat open space piece by piece, and after a few days of blowing, the skin can be seven or eight minutes dry and can be put on the shelf.
When the adobe is on the shelves, the grass that has already been cut has been cleaned up, and if it rains, it will be put up to prevent the adobe from getting wet. If the weather is fine, then leave it to dry, and when the autumn harvest is over, you will start building the house when it is empty.
If these adobes can be burned in the kiln, they will become green bricks.
It's a pity that no one at the wild pier can burn a kiln, and even if they can, they don't have the money to build a brick kiln now.
Because it is adobe, it will not be used to burn green bricks, and these hand-pulled adobes are larger than ordinary green brick adobes.
Qiu walked around the adobe spread on the ground, greeted a few busy women, and walked all the way to the place where they were digging the cellar.
Seeing Qiu coming, Zhang San, who was standing at the mouth of the cellar, shouted below: "Lu Quan, your daughter-in-law is here." ”
The Lu family has a house, the Qiu family doesn't use it to help, Lu Quan is the head of the family, and he can't be idle at home. Although he didn't need adobe at home, he still followed Zhang San and them every day, working from day to day and resting at sunset.
Hearing that his daughter-in-law was coming, Lu Quan knew that the Qiu family was looking for him.
He put down the shovel in his hand and climbed up along the rope at the mouth of the pit.
In the past few days of work, Lu Quan has become more and more dark and thin, but because he can eat enough, his spirit is very good.
Lu Quan patted the dirt on his body and walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Didn't Xiaosi go to Ding's house at noon, she Aunt Ding said that the mule is optimistic, and Ding Dazhuang will come to you to take a look at it next morning."
Lu Quan was stunned when he heard this: "This little four, why didn't you say it on the road just now." ”
If Xiao Si said it, he would go directly to the town, how could he trouble Ding Dazhuang to run this part of the road.
"I guess the child forgot about it for a while." Qiu Shi said as he motioned for Lu Quan to follow her back, "It's not too late for you to go now, even if she comes to Uncle Ding, it's not rude to meet her on the road." ”
"Okay then." Lu Quan turned around and shouted at Zhang Sanji, telling them that he was going to see the mules and would not come in the evening.
Zhang San answered, and seeing that Lu Quan was in trouble, Zhang San went down the cellar along the rope.
This dredging work came in turns, Lu didn't go down, it just happened to be Zhang San's turn.
Walking out of the site where the adobe was stacked, and seeing that there were no people around, Qiu came to Lu Quan's side and whispered about the fights between the Ding family and the concubines of the fourth elementary school.
Qiu Shi is not like Lu Xiaosi, she spoke vividly, she only said the matter dryly, then stopped talking, and looked at Lu Quan in a somewhat low mood.
Lu Quan was still frowning, not understanding what the Qiu family was doing with him about the Ding family.
Seeing Qiu's expression, he seemed to vaguely understand. Tentatively asked, "What do you mean that Xiaoqing and the Ding family can't do this?" ”
Seeing that Lu Quan understood, Qiu sighed slightly.
"I have always thought that Ding Wu is a good child, with a lively brain and strong bones, and Aunt Ding is a smiling person. But now that I think about it, there are five Ding Wu brothers, not to mention anything else, just these five daughters-in-law live together, how many things do they have to do......"
Thinking that his eldest daughter was more honest than the other two daughters because she stuttered when she was a child, Qiu was even more reluctant to marry Xiaoqing into the Ding family.
Although the conditions of the Ding family are good, they have built a big house with blue bricks and black tiles in the town, and there is a meat case, but their family is not bad.
Not to mention that the Ding family has five sons, plus the eight brothers of the Ding family, there must be no thirty or forty daughters born to these other brothers.
Xiaoqing's temperament, to deal with this big family, as well as those uncles and uncles in the countryside, I'm afraid I can't cope with it.
Hearing this, Lu Quan nodded: "You're right, Xiaoqing's temperament is indeed not suitable for going to Ding's house." ”
"If you know, it's good." Qiu nodded at him, "I came to you in such a hurry just to tell you a few words." Later, you and Ding Dazhuang will go to buy mules, don't sell your daughter. ”
The Ding family has the intention of marrying the Lu family, but it has not been clarified yet.
Qiu was in such a hurry to find Lu Quan, but he was also afraid that Lu Quan would have a bad conversation with Ding Dazhuang on the way to buy a mule, and accidentally gave his daughter's relatives out, and it would be bad to go back when the time came.
Hearing this, Lu Quan nodded, and he had a number in his heart.
