When the old village chief heard his son shouting to himself in the yard, he thought something had happened, so he hurriedly got off the kang and dragged his shoes out.

Seeing a heroic woman wearing a gorgeous cyan cloak, the old village chief hurriedly knelt down, "Grass people, meet your lord!" ”

"The old village chief doesn't need to be polite, please get up on the ground quickly!"

"Lord Xie, it's cold outside, please come into the house and warm up!" The old village chief stood up and respectfully invited An Chuxia into the house, because of the cold in the northern winter, most of the guests would be invited to the warm kang.

An Chuxia was also invited by the old village chief's family to sit on the kang, and the old village chief's family wondered what happened to their house in such a cold Tian'an early summer.

I saw An Zixi, who followed up, holding the basin in his hand and covering it with a small mattress, which was placed on the kang by An Chuxia.

An Chuxia lifted the small mattress on the pot, and a pot of bean sprouts with yellow sprouts appeared in front of the old village chief's family.

Looking at the tender water and the bean sprouts with yellow sprouts, Village Chief Luo's family looked at An Chuxia in puzzlement.

"My lord, what is this?" The old village chief's son asked.

An Chuxia smiled and said: "This is bean sprouts, I didn't hear from you last time, these beans are grown in the corners of the wasteland in the field.

Since I can't pay taxes and grain, and I eat too much, my stomach will swell, so I thought of sprouting beans, and I can cook vegetables and fry them at this time, but I didn't expect it to be successful.

Our family has used this thing to cook and fry yesterday, it is crisp and fragrant, and it is very delicious. ”

An Chuxia pushed the bean sprouts in the pot towards the old village chief's daughter-in-law, and said to her: "Auntie spent some oil and salt to fry these bean sprouts." ”

The old village chief's daughter-in-law stayed at his house for one night from the time An Chuxia and gave a lot of accommodation fees, so she decided that she was a good official.

For the old woman who has never even been to the county seat, the official who does not take advantage of the common people is the best parent official in their eyes.

"Don't worry, my lord, the woman promises to fry this dish with her heart."

The old village chief's daughter-in-law didn't even let her daughters-in-law help fry this dish this time, and went to the kitchen herself with a basin.

An Chuxia smiled gently at the simplicity of the old woman, and then turned her face to the old village chief and said, "You go to the village to find a few people with good memories and flexible brains to call, male and female." ”

The old village chief was old, and it was inconvenient for him to go out in winter, so he said a few names and asked his son to call those people.

An Chuxia took a sip of the hot water brought by the old village chief's daughter-in-law, looking at the big kang that took up half of the room, sitting on it and the bottom of the buttocks was warm, but the room could still feel the cold.

After all, the kang is not like the current heating, which can keep the temperature of the whole house.

If you can put a stove in the room like a rich family, then you won't feel that the house is still so cold.

I saw that the old village chief's family was still dressed quite thinly, and then looked at this low thatched house, which was gray all around.

The fact that the head of a village lives in such a house shows how difficult the people of Wei County are.

She is now their parent, and since she has come here, she has the responsibility to feed and clothe the people here.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and four or five people who had been called by the old village chief's son walked into the house.

It should be the son of the old village chief who told them on the road, and after coming in, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted An Chuxia, the parent official.

"The grass people have seen adults."

"Rise up, everybody! This is not a court, it doesn't have to be. ”

After these people arrived, the bean sprouts of the old village chief's daughter-in-law were also fried and brought up.

An Chuxia said: "It just so happens that everyone is here, try this dish, whether it is delicious or not." ”

Several people looked at the old village chief, and the old village chief's daughter-in-law handed a pair of chopsticks to one of them, "Eat quickly, the adults let you eat, you can eat, can the county order still harm us." ”

The old village chief took the lead and put a chopstick in his mouth and chewed it, tender and crispy, fragrant and delicious, after swallowing it, the old village chief couldn't help but hold another chopstick.

Everyone also ate like the old village chief.

An Chuxia saw the two grandsons of the old village chief's family looking at them with blank eyes, and handed them a pair of chopsticks in his hand, "It's okay, come and eat!" ”

After tasting a few bites, everyone put down their chopsticks, after all, this is not the time to eat, and there is no reason to really eat all the dishes.

Although it was really delicious, they still restrained themselves and wanted to pick up the dishes again.

An Chuxia looked at them softly, and didn't think it was rude for them to chew the vegetables loudly when they were eating.

They are a group of people who live and work hard every day for food and clothing, and they don't have time to chew and swallow slowly when eating, and it is normal to make noises, and no one is qualified to judge their behavior as rude.

The reason why you eat without sound and walk with light steps is because you have enough time to groom yourself.

After An Chuxia saw them all put down their chopsticks, she smiled and said, "Everyone has tasted the taste of fried bean sprouts, what do you think?" ”

"Delicious!"

“… Delicious! ”

Several villagers in the room said that fried bean sprouts are delicious, and there are no flowery words to describe them, delicious is their highest evaluation of food.

An Chuxia asked, "You all have beans in your own house, right?" ”

"Yes!"

“… Yes! ”

"We have it at home!" The old woman who spoke was the old woman who had eaten at her house on the day they collected their taxes last time in the early summer.

This old woman is also a hard-working person, her son and daughter-in-law have died one after another, leaving only a grandson, and the old husband and wife have worked hard to raise her.

I was able to be called by the old village chief this time, probably because I took care of her a lot last time, and the old village chief saw that she intended to help the family.

This was also won by the old woman herself, if she hadn't kindly brought water to herself at that time, An Chuxia would not have noticed this old woman.

"It's good to have beans, I'll tell you how to soak bean sprouts.

You can go home and try to soak some beans by yourself, and put the soaked beans on the kang, so that the bean sprouts are easier to grow.

In winter, when vegetables are scarce, you can keep them for yourself and eat them after the sprouts are sent, or you can send them to restaurants and restaurants in the county town and sell them for money. ”

Hearing that they could use this to sell for money, everyone's spirit was shocked, and for the villagers, what they could sell for money was good.

They suddenly felt so distressed, and all they had eaten just now was money.

"You can tell the people in the village how to soak the bean sprouts, don't be afraid that if there are too many people, you won't be able to make money, if the restaurants and restaurants in the county can't have so many bean sprouts.

You can sell the sprouts you send to these three companies, and they will sell the sprouts you send to farther away. ”

The old village chief said excitedly: "My lord, which three?" ”

"Xu Dahu's family in Xujiabao, Luojiazhuang's Luo landlord's family, and Ma Xiang's family in Mawang Village, just say that I asked you to send it." An Chuxia said lightly.

In winter, there is no place to sell such a good thing, and the reason why An Chuxia did not tell the three big households about the method of sprouting bean sprouts is to let the people earn some money for the New Year.

As long as the villagers sent things over, the three of them would definitely understand what they meant.
