400 Lantern Festival
After playing for a while, Lin He lost his enthusiasm, found a big bamboo basket and buckled it upside down on the wooden basin, so as not to let the big turtle run away.
Today's lunch was handed over to Li Changhui and Li Yu, father and son, and she didn't bother to go to the kitchen again, so she simply moved a rocking chair to the yard to bask in the sun.
The weather is not bad today, the sun is mild, and it is very comfortable to shine on your body.
casually flipped through the recipe Li Yu gave her just now, and happened to turn over the various ways to eat soft-shelled turtles.
This recipe is quite decent, but it records some uncommon ingredients, and this turtle is among them.
Lin He browsed for a while and lost interest, for her, recipes, just what you can do at home, more advanced, it's useless to look at the recipes a few times, you have to be a professional.
But when it comes to turtles, Lin He thinks of snapping turtles, turtles are not eaten by ordinary people, and snapping turtles should be fine.
For most people, the tortoise is a very spiritual animal, which can be seen from the use of tortoise shells for divination.
Moreover, turtles reproduce very slowly, which is a symbol of longevity, and if you eat turtles, everyone will be afraid of losing their lives.
Although Lin He felt that in addition to these, there should be another reason, the turtle grows slowly, the shell is thick, and the meat is less, so it is estimated that there is nothing to eat.
But snapping turtles are different, that thing eats meat, grows fast, and it seems that it can grow six or seven pounds a year.
I just don't know where this thing lives, and whether I will have the opportunity to see it in this life.
Lin He thought about it in a mess, and the recipe in his hand was casually put on his eyes, and he was so dazed that he actually fell asleep.
When she was woken up by An Er Hao'er's voice, it was already time to eat, and there was an extra thick blanket on her body.
"Mother, remember to go back to your room to sleep when you are tired in the future, although there is sun, but there is wind outside, and it will be very cold when the wind blows."
Li Yu came back behind the two younger brothers, he should have asked the two to come back for dinner, and when he saw Lin He waking up, he couldn't help but chatter.
"Got it, you little guy, how did you grow up and become nagging."
I wasn't so careful before.
Li An, who had been cleaned, rushed towards Lin He: "Mother, there are so many, everyone has caught a total of seven turtles, the largest is the size of a soup bowl, but the smallest is as big as my fist." ”
As he spoke, he raised his little fist.
"Stupid," Li Hao casually knocked his brother's head: "The youngest one is a turtle!" ”
Li Changhui asked them to go back to eat in the kitchen, and Lin He hurriedly signaled the three brothers not to stand in the courtyard.
"By the way, mother, there are a lot of loaches in the pond today, I asked people to fill them in buckets first, and then send them back when they are busy in the afternoon."
Although Li Yu rarely goes to the field when he has nothing to do, he still knows everything he should know about the situation in the field.
Lin He sometimes even thinks that Li Yu should be working hard to learn to be independent, and treat himself as a big brother who is trained to shelter his younger brothers.
It was a little hard, but Lin He didn't stop it.
Li Yu is the eldest son, regardless of whether he is related by blood or not, he is the eldest son in the family, and he should have the responsibilities and burdens of the eldest son.
But well......
Lin He glanced at the man in the kitchen who was serving food.
Li Yu definitely didn't change his personality suddenly, he must have been taught by someone.
It's just that Lin He doesn't have much experience in parenting, and she doesn't know anything else except for food and clothing, so she noticed Li Changhui's different training directions for the eldest and second, and she didn't ask much.
"I estimate that after eating, Xie Jiang should come over, and when I eat, I will go and dispose of the old turtle, leaving a pound of meat stew, which is enough to eat."
The old turtle is a big supplement, and there are only two adults in the family, so naturally you can't eat too much.
As for who Xie Jiang sold to and how to sell it, Li Changhui didn't worry about it, he wouldn't suffer a loss after all, and they still believed in Xie Jiang's ability to do business.
Lin He glanced at the eaves of the verandah outside the house, the old turtle was covered by a bamboo basket, I don't know when, a stone was put on it, and the cat at home smelled and walked around outside the bamboo basket.
"Meow meow." Lin He screamed, and the cat immediately dropped and smelled it, couldn't eat the soft-shelled turtle, ran to Lin He's feet, meowed a few times, and waited until Lin He gave it a piece of fish meat before giving up.
This fish that has been raised for a long time is different, and the spiritual power contained in the body is also a lot more, which is much more delicious than rice field fish.
It's no wonder that Xie Jiang runs so diligently, the fish in this pond are more delicious, and the lotus root is definitely not bad.
At noon, it is crucian carp soup, accompanied by some vegetarian dishes, while people are eating and chatting, chatting about how to stew the soft-shelled turtle soup in the evening to be delicious.
As for today's Lantern Festival, I don't care about it.
After all, I used to go every year, so it's not new.
However, this afternoon I will let the workers finish work and go home early, after all, it is a holiday, and Li Changqiang will also take his wife and children to the city to play in the evening.
Sure enough, just as they guessed, not long after the meal, Li Changhui just disposed of the old turtle and divided a pound of turtle meat, and Xie Jiang came.
This guy was in a hurry, he didn't have time to drink saliva, ran away with a pot of turtle meat, and said that he would send the money over tomorrow morning.
When he first applied for the time, Lin He went to the pond so that everyone could call it a day, and just pile the lotus root on the edge of the pond.
Liu Qingsong also took his sister to the city to see the Lantern Festival in previous years, the two of them are the long-term workers of the Li family, and they don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation on weekdays, and Lin He will also ask people to make two sets of clothes for them every year.
The brother and sister are both savers, and they are reluctant to spend money on weekdays, so they will go to the city to have a look and buy some gadgets that girls like.
But today, Lin He specially went to explain to Liu Qingsong and asked him to prepare some small gifts for girls, which don't need to be too expensive, just represent their hearts.
By the way, take Qingzhen to walk around Wang's house, but don't rush to the door, if you meet it, give a gift to Miss Wang, and introduce Qingzhen and Miss Wang to know each other by the way.
Of course, if you don't encounter it, forget it, don't force it.
It is a major event related to his life, Liu Qingsong naturally kept it in mind, and when Li Changhui learned about it, he had to make fun of Lin He a few words.
This worried look, I don't know, I still think Li Qingsong is their child.
Jokes are jokes, but they didn't stop it, and Lin He accumulated experience.
Well, accumulate the experience of saying pro.
Lin He also learned later that Liu Qingyu's luck was actually quite good, although he didn't meet Wang Xiu near Wang's house, but when he had played enough and was about to come back, he happened to meet him.
Moreover, Wang Xiu also accepted the gift prepared by Liu Qingsong in advance, and this family business is estimated to be stable.
The rest depends on when the matchmaker Xie comes to the door.
is not only about Liu Qingsong and Wang Xiu, but also about Liu Donger's family.
