Chapter 186: Persimmons
After going back, Mr. Jin had already returned to the private school, and Lu Li was excited to inform the villagers, because of the generosity of the He Zao family, although Mr. Jin decided to accept the students in the village, but it was also a foil, and the most important students were the four treasures and the seven treasures, so the bundle he proposed was very low, thirty yuan a month, and if there was no money, one person would have a few catties of rice and noodles a month, or a few catties of meat.
It's like teaching for free.
Lu Lizheng is very excited, very excited, and he is even more grateful and has a good impression of He Sanfang!
If he knew that such a small bundle was obtained by Hezao's family for twenty taels of silver a year, he didn't know what to think.
Old Man He was a little drunk, pulling He Laosan's words, muttering words that no one could understand, but looking at Old Man He's expression, he knew that the old man was very sensitive and a little sad at this time.
He Laosan comforted him, and personally sent him back to the old house, hesitated before going back, and asked Chen to put a bowl of the remaining meat and vegetables over, after all, this meat and vegetables are also a rarity in the old house.
Chen never cares about this kind of thing, on the contrary, he is very generous, took a large enamel bowl, and dug up a large bowl full of small crispy pork stewed vermicelli.
He Zao happened to see it, but he didn't make a sound.
He Lao and his family are filial people, and now that the conditions at home are better, they naturally want to help the old house, and it is not a very excessive thing, and it is normal to send leftovers or something between neighbors and families.
The only abnormal thing is that the old mansion never sends things to the third room.
"Zao'er, you are in a hurry to find Brother Ache, is there something wrong?"
He Chun'er saw her depressed face, so she asked.
He sat down on the kang and dragged his cheeks: "Yes, there is something." ”
"Then did Brother Ache help you solve it?"
He Zao's eyes rolled, and he secretly thought, it turns out that everyone knows that they have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!
It doesn't feel good to give that impression......
He Zao secretly warned himself that he must pay attention in the future.
Chen shrewdly asked, "Is it our family's empty three acres of land?" ”
He Zao nodded with a bitter face: "Yes, but I didn't mention it just now, I'll ask another day." ”
After the autumn harvest, news came from Han's house, it seems that someone has seen the rapeseed that He Zao said in the south, but now the transportation is not developed, and someone has to be sent over to ask, and it will take a while.
Of course, He Zao was very happy, and at that time, it was easy to say that He Laosan left three acres of reclaimed land with more regular and good fertilizer.
He Laosan and the Chen family really trusted He Zao's ability very much, so they thought about it for a long time and left three acres of land uncultivated.
But because it was always empty, he was called over by the old man He who he overheard and scolded him severely.
Fortunately, He had already figured out the reason, saying that the Han family wanted to stay and plant a rare thing.
As soon as he heard that it was related to the Han family, Old Man He stopped talking, and only told the He early family to make good friends with the Han family, do things for the other party, and not to annoy the other party, etc.
Even if he is an old man from the countryside, he knows the weight of the Han family in Huaiqing Mansion.
But after so much time, there is no news from the Han family, so He wanted to ask Ah Che for a long time, but unfortunately he died down.
"It's not a matter of always waiting, but people are in charge and say that they will find us, so don't rush, lest people have a bad impression!" Chen is a person who can do things, and she resolutely does not trouble others when she can, so she immediately expressed her opinion.
He thought about it for a while, and felt that what Chen said made sense, no matter how anxious she was about rape flowers, she couldn't come in a hurry, she was originally troublesome to the Han family, and now she has been urging again and again, she is a little too ignorant!
He Zao dispelled the idea of asking Ah Che.
"By the way, mother, I just met the fourth aunt in the back, and she wants to find a job in our house." She remembered something, and said.
Chen was stunned for a moment, nodded, and sighed: "Your fourth aunt's family is in trouble now, and our family has the conditions to help." ”
"There is no shortage of people in our workshop!" He Chun'er said.
Last time, as soon as Qiao Xingniang left, several more people wanted to come to the workshop to work, and He Zao chose a few with Chen's family, and chose a daughter-in-law who was honest and hardworking.
He Zao smiled mysteriously: "I thought of another way to make money." ”
He Chun'er's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and sat down beside He Zao.
After going through this one by one, she is now too confident in He Zao, basically she said that if she can make money, she will definitely be able to make money. No one thinks they have a lot of money.
Chan also put on a posture of listening.
Sibao went to take a nap, Qibao followed He Laosan back to his hometown, there were only a few mothers in the family, He Zao didn't have any scruples when he spoke, and directly said his thoughts: "Mother, eldest sister, have you heard of persimmons?" ”
Chen and He Chun'er glanced at each other and shook their heads in confusion.
Although every household in Lujia Village has persimmon trees, on the ground, on the mountain, there are many persimmon trees, and there are several varieties, but at this time people do not have the leisure to develop the way to eat persimmons, only know that when the persimmon is red, it is ripe, this time is the most delicious, and it is also the time to beat persimmons, commonly known as "persimmons" - with a bamboo pole up to two or three meters long, the top is held with the wire, pulled into a special shape, and the persimmon is twisted when it is pulled down.
But at other times, people in Lujia Village basically don't eat persimmons.
Because it's too raw and jerky, it's very unpalatable.
According to Hezao's understanding, at this time, northerners don't even know how to "lazy persimmons". That is, the raw persimmons are astringent, and they can be eaten directly, without waiting for them to be cooked in the shade.
He had long been preparing to make lazy persimmons to sell first, and then make persimmons.
Persimmon cakes were very popular and expensive in later generations, but they were very rare in the city.
One of the things she remembers most is that as the price of persimmons gets higher and higher, the more popular they are, in the previous life, there were women in the village who took advantage of the corn before harvesting to use the corn field as a cover, and went to the neighboring village or the mountain to steal persimmons together. If it is a special variety "Dajiaoting", it will be more expensive, at least half more.
This is actually a very bad behavior, so after "looking at corn", this piece of Wuxian Town, when it comes to the season of persimmon ripening, has the habit of "looking at persimmons".
People in their hometowns give gifts to leaders and school teachers, and they often choose iron stick yams and persimmons with local characteristics. Or honey produced by bees raised in the village, pure natural wattle honey is also very popular.
He Zao focused on describing the two methods of persimmons, and Chen showed a skeptical look: "If the persimmon is not ripe, but it is old and astringent, can you really get rid of that astringency?" ”
He Chun'er looked at He Zao seriously.
He nodded early: "Of course, if you don't believe it, we'll try it later." ”
Lazy persimmons, there are several different methods, each with its own differences.
