Lin Xiaoman had just finished spring ploughing when he received several large baskets of empty bottles from Shopkeeper Feng, knowing that he had not delivered goods for several days, Shopkeeper Feng was in a hurry.

While moving the porcelain vase down from the car, he said to the coachman with a smile: "Uncle, you go back and talk to Shopkeeper Feng, and I will send the goods over tomorrow." It's almost noon, and you don't have anything to eat on the way back, so why don't you stay and eat a bowl of noodles. ”

It was not the first time that the coachman came back to Lin Xiaoman's house, he had heard the shopkeeper Feng say that Lin Xiaoman's cooking was delicious, so he rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said, "How embarrassing is that?" ”

Lin Xiaoman understood at a glance that he wanted to eat at home.

"Alas, what's so embarrassing, I'm just rolling out a handful of noodles, it's not easy for you to run at these two ends, I'll cut some braised pig's head meat at noon and eat it, it's fragrant."

The coachman happily sat outside the courtyard and waited for Lin Xiaoman to make noodles, and by the way, he looked at the green sprouts emerging from the ground and sighed, "This seedling grows so well, what is it planted?" ”

Lin Xiaoman returned to the courtyard, took out the panel and the reconciled noodles and began to roll out the noodles.

After a while, I rolled out a curtain of noodles, and I didn't rush to cook the noodles, but first made a marinade, and then made a big bowl of fried sauce, full of meat, and it was fragrant when I smelled it.

The coachman sat outside the courtyard and sniffed greedily.

Lin Erhu came back for lunch, and when he saw the coachman sitting in front of his house, he recognized it as the coachman of Feng Ji's rouge shop at a glance, "Uncle, haven't you seen you for a few days?" Why didn't Uncle Feng come along? ”

The coachman said: "The shopkeeper was originally going to come together, but they all went out and were stopped by a little girl, saying that they wanted to talk to him about business, and the shopkeeper let me come alone." ”

After speaking, he sighed: "Today's little girls are amazing, your sister, this little girl, can come out to do business, unlike the girl in my family, who is married and a mother, and she doesn't dare to go out by herself." ”

Lin Erhu smiled, "That's different, my sister is protected by your uncle, you don't have to worry about trivial matters, my sister not only does not have my father and mother to protect me, but also protects me, this is all forced by life." ”

The coachman listened to Lin Erhu's words, and nodded in his heart: "You have a point, the girl also said, she is from the capital, this road is one or two thousand miles away, if it is not for the great changes in the family, how can you be displaced to us?" It's all forced by life. ”

Lin Erhu noticed the little girl mentioned in the coachman's words, and couldn't help but be vigilant, "From the capital? Uncle do you know what her surname is? ”

The coachman thought about it for a while, "I said that my surname was Xu, and let the shopkeeper call her Miss Xu." ”

There is no need to guess, Lin Erhu is already very sure that this person is Xu Yuanru.

Hearing Lin Xiaoman say that she may have crossed over, and what she did before was also aimed at their sister and brother, Lin Erhu felt that Xu Yuanru was not at ease this time, otherwise there were so many shops in the city, she didn't go to others to talk about business, why did she have to find Shopkeeper Feng?

Lin Xiaoman's noodles were cooked, poured a thick layer of marinade, scooped two spoonfuls of meat sauce and covered it, and spread five or six slices of extremely marinated meat on top, "Uncle, do you eat spicy?" Do you want to add a spoonful of chili oil? ”

The coachman went to eat hot pot chicken, and he was not willing to eat the whole chicken pot, but he still ate the vegetarian pot a few times, and he never forgot the spicy taste, and when he heard Lin Xiaoman say that he could add chili oil, he immediately nodded, "Yes, add two spoonfuls." ”

Lin Xiaoman added two spoonfuls of chili oil to him, she didn't use too spicy chili peppers, and she was not afraid that the coachman would be too spicy to eat.

Lin Erhu also came out with a big bowl of noodles, took a handful of peeled garlic in his hand, and handed two cloves to the coachman, "Uncle, if you don't eat garlic when you eat noodles, the fragrance is less than half, so you can eat garlic." ”

The coachman was amused by Lin Erhu and laughed, "You baby, talk one by one, okay, I'll taste it too." ”

The two of them sat outside the door, gulping down the noodles.

The coachman was still unsatisfied after eating a bowl, but he was embarrassed to say that he would have another bowl, but Lin Erhu took his bowl and went in again to fill a bowl out.

The coachman drove away after eating, reminiscing about the taste of noodles and pork head meat all the way.

Lin Erhu told Lin Xiaoman what the coachman said, "Sister, that girl is not a good person, maybe she deliberately wants to rob us of our business, you have to know it." ”

Lin Xiaoman pondered for a moment, "Sister knows, don't open your mouth in the future, shut up the girl, is it good?" Bring this bowl of noodles to Mr. Xu, don't let him go hungry. ”

As he spoke, he handed him a bowl of noodles with enough ingredients, and gave him a piece of braised pig's head wrapped in oiled paper.

Lin Erhu took the noodles with a smile and ran to Xu Qiuliang's house.

When he was busy with farming before, Xu Qiuliang and his brothers ate meals sent by the yamen and cooked by the women of the Xu family.

Now that the farmer is idle, Lin Erhu goes to study again, Xu Qiuliang complains in front of him that he eats too badly, Lin Erhu is obedient and listens, how can he still understand what Mr. means?

Every day, I got up early, ate at noon, and brought him a meal when I got home in the evening.

The meat that was lost during the busy farming was raised in a few days, but it was tanned and had to be raised for a few more days.

As soon as Lin Erhu left, Lin Dajiao, who was carrying a basket of wild vegetables, came over, she was also busy farming a while ago, and her already somewhat dark complexion became even darker, and she was happy when she saw Lin Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, the seedlings in the field have grown, and it looks strong, and it's strange to look at the beets I planted with you, why don't you help me catch two more pigs?" ”

Lin Xiaoman glanced at the wild vegetables she was carrying, which was really a big basket, all of which were used to feed pigs and chickens.

Lin Dajiao is capable, and has two pigs and twenty chickens at home. After the wasteland, with the help of Xu Qiuliang's brothers, those lands can also be planted, she planted two acres of sugar beet, and then she can't use the leaves to feed the pigs and chickens, and it is not a problem to catch some chickens and pigs.

"Cheng, I'll go and see it Ming'er, I heard that there is a kind of chicken that specializes in meat, and it can grow to more than ten or twenty pounds when it grows up, but it is too edible, do you want to catch two of them and raise them?"

Lin Xiaoman is talking about broiler chickens, and the carnivorous chickens over there are all raised with feed, and they can be slaughtered in more than 40 days. There is no feed here, no feed, and it grows bigger than ordinary chickens after raising it for a year.

Moreover, I heard that the kind of broiler chickens raised with feed is not very good, but the taste of raising them without feed is quite delicious.

The only drawback is that it is too edible, it is really lying there and not moving to eat, and ordinary people really can't afford to raise it.

But the beet is harvested by the roots, the leaves are broken and grow, and the faster they grow, the better they grow, and the leaves that are broken off can just be used to raise pigs and chickens, as long as they are diligent, they are not afraid of chickens and pigs that they do not eat.

Lin Dajiao listened to Lin Xiaoman for everything, Lin Xiaoman asked her to raise her without saying a word and nodded, "Okay, then raise a few, anyway, my family planted two acres of sugar beet, how can it be enough for them to eat." ”

Lin Xiaoman thought about going over there in the afternoon to have a look, and if he could buy it, he would buy it back today, and if he couldn't buy it this year, he would set it with that side first.
