The charcoal fire roasted slowly, for two hours, and the fragrance wafted out far away, even the people working in the fields smelled it, and even some children in the nearby Zhuangzi ran over to smell the smell.
Lin He asked Li Changhui to divide some meat, tear it into small pieces, and just put it on a plate.
Looking at the small radish heads around the circle, they are all skinny, the fattest, and they are also in a thin state.
Lin He sighed in his heart, in these years, even if it is a peaceful and prosperous era, it is only a prosperous era for the rich, and the output of food is too low, which dooms the vast majority of people to be hungry all year round.
Even if you work all day and night, you can't fill your stomach.
Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn;
There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death.
Nothing more.
Then he put aside these messy thoughts, and beckoned to a group of small radish heads with mutton: "Come here, my aunt will give you meat." ”
The barbecue is made directly outside the backyard, and Li Changhui is putting a whole roast sheep in a clean bamboo sieve.
He divided three legs of lamb in advance, and the rest was ready to be torn into small pieces, so that they could be divided among everyone who worked later.
Seeing Lin He's actions at this time, he thought about it, but he still didn't stop it.
Smelling the smell of meat, and seeing the young aunt smiling kindly, a group of children really rushed over.
Lin He glanced at it, although the clothes were almost all patches and patches, similar to when she first met Li Yu and Li Hao, but most of her hands and faces were clean.
There are both boys and girls, but the careful Lin He soon found that almost all of the children of the same age are better than girls, and girls are thinner and timid.
sighed in my heart, patriarchy, the poorer the family, the more so, and it can't change anything for a while.
Then Lin He smiled and picked up a small piece of mutton: "Let's say okay first, the meat I gave you can only be eaten here, can't you take it away, you know?" If you want to take it away, then I won't give it, do you hear? ”
"I heard you!"
Almost in unison.
And Lin He was also keenly aware that the boys were simply happy, while the slightly older girls were bright-eyed, surprised, and looking forward to it, which was not the same as the happiness of other children.
Lin He didn't say much, picked up a piece of roast mutton, and distributed it to the nearest child: "Come, come one by one, stand here without food, don't move, stand next to what you eat." ”
"Thank you, Auntie!" The child thanked him happily, and couldn't wait to feed a piece of roast meat to his mouth, and instantly his eyes were crooked: "It's delicious!" ”
Hearing this, the other children looked forward to it even more.
Lin He quickly divided a small piece for each child, just finished dividing a plate, and made sure that each child had eaten it in their stomachs, and then let them go home.
When the children were gone, the aunt smiled and praised: "Madame did a really good job, let them eat here, you can avoid being blackmailed by some people." ”
Lin He was stunned: "Fake money? ”
"Alas, madam, you don't know, some people are cheap bones, if you give him a little benefit, he will think more greedy, there have been several times in the past."
The aunt was particularly indignant, and felt as if she had suffered in this regard.
"In the past, there was a good man in the city, and on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month, he would give free porridge in the city, and the poor could go to receive it."
"As a result, less than three months after this soup kitchen, some people said that the child had eaten bad stomach and blackmailed the old man a lot of money.
The more the aunt talked, the more angry she became, believing that if those who blackmailed money were in front of him, I was afraid that she would be beaten violently.
Lin He was a little dumbfounded: "Can there still be such a thing?" ”
I have seen a lot of ways to touch porcelain, and this is the first time I have heard of such a style.
Li Changhui originally wanted to remind her of this situation, but now she doesn't need to, but she is still a little curious.
"Then why did you let them finish eating here before leaving?"
Lin He came back to his senses and said helplessly: "This is not to look at those girls, obviously not as good as boys, I pondered, there must be brothers and brothers in the family, and all the delicious food is for my brothers and brothers." ”
"So I let them all eat here, lest the girls take them home and be forcibly given to their brothers and sisters at home, and they have nothing for themselves."
Lin He had good intentions, but who knew that the aunt who was still indignant at the person who blackmailed the money just now suddenly said after hearing Lin He's words: "What does it matter, the girl will go to someone else's house sooner or later." ”
Lin He: "......"
She shouldn't have said much, even if it was what most people thought, but she was not happy to hear it.
The aunt didn't think there was anything wrong with her idea, which daughter was raised and didn't go to someone else's house to care for the elderly?
Li Changhui was keenly aware of Lin He's discomfort, so he changed the topic: "Auntie, you come to help, carry these food back, and see if the steamed buns are steamed." ”
"Well, okay, I'll go."
The aunt didn't notice anything, so she naturally agreed happily.
After they left, Li Changhui came to Lin He: "Don't think about that, let's divide the food later, and we will take it home to eat." ”
Lin He was really diverted: "Okay, it just so happens that everyone will be back soon." ”
Li Changhui had already taken a food box out of the carriage next to him, and Lin He was even more surprised: "When did you put it, why don't I know." ”
"In the morning, I'm waiting for An'er to wash up."
Lin He usually takes the carriage, but he accompanies him outside, and he doesn't go inside, so he doesn't find out.
"That's a good feeling, wrap the leg of lamb in clean oiled paper, and send it to the Xie family by the way when you go back, and then go home for dinner!"
Food can really heal the mood, just like that, Lin He is no longer depressed.
It just so happened that the people in the field also came back one after another, Lin He hurriedly greeted everyone, and by the way, he told everyone that he could bring roast mutton and haggis soup home at noon and eat with his parents, wives and children at home.
Of course, steamed buns are also indispensable, and cornmeal is specially used to add buckwheat flour, and two bowls of steamed steamed buns with refined flour are added.
The chewiness of the buckwheat noodles, the sweetness of the corn, and the softness of the refined flour combine to create an unexpectedly good taste.
These things are now eaten at home, and there are not many vines, and the last few times they have been delivered, and by the way, they have pulled a lot of grain from the town's warehouse, so they don't have to buy food for the people who work.
One thing to say, this is not only not as simple as not spending money to buy, but more importantly, your own food is more delicious.
Even the most ordinary coarse grains are much tastier than they are bought.
In the past few days, some people have already asked about these grain seeds, and most of the poor people in the city have no land, but they have more or less relatives in the countryside.
If you get a better seed, it's always good.
Lin He is naturally willing to sell the seeds.
This grain seed has fuller grains, better germination rate, and even a slightly more yield.
