Chapter 149: Xiao Man, this is going to be the county lady

Lin Xiaoman made two big bowls in one pot, originally wanted to wait for the fish to be ready, and asked him to send another bowl with the fish to Xu Qiuliang and them to taste, but seeing him like this, he was afraid that he would eat it all on the way, so he simply put it away, and then sent it himself when the fish was ready.

When the fish was ready, Lin Xiaoman put the ones he wanted to leave on the plate, put them on the table, went to the pot and picked up a few steamed river crabs, and brought a bowl of ginger vinegar water to the basket, "My lord, you eat first, and I'll send some to Mr. and Erhu." ”

Lu Jin wanted to say that he would go with him too, but Lin Xiaoman had already walked out quickly.

Looking at the stove room that had not yet been cleaned up, Lu Jin walked in on a whim.

Lin Erhu saw the river crab brought by Lin Xiaoman, and happily circled around the table, "Sister, how do you know that I want to eat this?" A few days ago, I looked at it in the field, and I thought that I would have to go to the river to touch it in a few days. ”

Xu Qiuliang, a foodie, was also a little disgusted when he saw the river crab that looked like a beetle, but when he heard Lin Erhu say that he wanted to eat it, it was estimated that it was also delicious.

"It's not like an adult wants to eat fish, I brought a few in the fish bucket, and I just remembered that there was this delicious food, so I caught a few more, and then I went to the river to catch it when I wanted to eat it."

"Mmmm, sister, I still want to eat crab roe soup dumplings."

"Done, I'll make it for you in two days."

Lin Xiaoman thought about going to the river to catch some in the afternoon and send them to Aunt Qi.

On Aunt Qi's side, the wild river crabs are almost invisible, and some of them are artificially farmed, and the taste is not as good as the pure natural and wild ones on their side, not to mention the source water with good mountains and good water here and completely pollution-free.

In fact, it's not impossible for people to catch river crabs here and sell them there, no, the way to make money will come.

Before going out, he reminded the two people in the house not to be greedy, Lin Erhu waved his hand and said that he had written it down.

When he returned home, he didn't see Lu Jin, so Lin Xiaoman went to look outside the hospital. Chen Xiaolian saw it and said, "My lord has gone to the river." ”

Lin Xiaoman guessed that he went to Lin Dashan to buy river crabs again, but the food on the table didn't move, thinking that he wouldn't leave for too long, so he didn't look for anyone.

Just entered the stove room and saw the cleaned pots and bowls, Lin Xiaoman raised the corners of his mouth: Whether he wants to perform or really wants to share it for himself, in this era, there are really not many men who can help share the housework.

Not to mention Lu Jin's identity, even in the village, there are many men who go home and sit there, like uncles, obviously women also want to go to the field to farm.

Just looking at the bowls in the cupboard, it always feels like there are a few missing.

Lin Xiaoman went to the table and looked at it, and made sure that there were two large pottery bowls missing, which she used to assemble dishes just now.

After looking around, I finally found the remains of two pottery bowls in the corner of the door: this is broken and hidden?

But no matter what, his willingness to help with the work could not be dampened, but it was only two bowls, and she just didn't see it.

Not long after, Lu Jin came back with two large buckets, both of which were covered with a stone slab, and the claws of river crabs could be seen sticking out from the gap between the stone slab and the bucket.

"Why are you catching so much?"

Lu Jin raised the corners of his lips, "Bring it back and let them steam it and taste it." ”

Lin Xiaoman saw that he had finished eating and remembered his subordinates, so he thought for a while and said, "Fill you with a pot of hot pot ingredients, go back and chop up the river crabs and fry them." ”

Lu Jin's face just showed joy, and he heard Lin Xiaoman say: "You have eaten too much today, so don't eat any more." ”

Lu Jin reluctantly let out an 'oh' and followed Lin Xiaoman into the hospital.

On the table in the courtyard are two fish with different recipes, as well as a few dishes, which make people appetizing when they look at it.

Lu Jin loves to eat fish, especially sea fish, and when he was in the capital in the past, he often let people quickly transport them from the sea. But the river fish is very rare, and I always feel that there is an earthy smell.

But the fish that Lin Xiaoman makes, whether it is river fish or sea fish, makes him never forget, but he is not good at always letting Lin Xiaoman cook for him, and when he is hungry, he always thinks, why is he not Lin Erhu?

But after getting along for a long time, from the beginning of appreciating Lin Xiaoman's cooking skills, I gradually began to pay attention to Lin Xiaoman, and every time I saw Lin Xiaoman, I was in a good mood, and there seemed to be something agitating in my chest.

Hearing Xu Yuanru say that he and Lin Xiaoman were a couple, Lu Jin was in a very good mood, and almost didn't laugh out loud in front of Xu Yuanru.

Thinking that I can see Lin Xiaoman every day in the future, and I can eat the meals she cooks three times a day, my life is really complete.

Lin Xiaoman didn't know what he was thinking, he just looked at him with a rippling smile, and always felt that he didn't hold back any good fart.

Outside the courtyard, there were villagers who went up the mountain passing by, looking in, and saw Lu Jin and Lin Xiaoman eating together, and the people who wanted to come in to say hello turned their toes and left. What I thought in my heart was: God, lonely men and widows, eating at the same table, Xiaoman is going to be the wife of the county commander?

As for what is the right one, the people in the village will not think so, not to mention who has a girl who doesn't want to climb a high branch? In the past year, Lin Xiaoman has shown his skills and the grain and vegetable seeds he has taken out, in the eyes of the vast majority of villagers, Lin Xiaoman is the little fairy in their hearts.

Isn't it just a prefectural order? The old patriarch can say that Xiaoman's taking out grain seeds is a good thing for the benefit of all the people, and maybe he will be rewarded by the imperial court.

In the past few days, the potatoes in the village have been harvested one after another, except for most of Lin Xiaoman's family, which was bought by Lu Jin and transported to the capital, the potatoes of the people in the village have been taken away by the major restaurants that came to the village to buy vegetables before.

Stir-fried shredded potatoes with chili, stir-fried tomatoes with potato slices and chili, stewed chicken with potatoes...... Following the tomato pepper fire, potatoes also set off a boom in Qingping County, and the price is also rising, a fried shredded potatoes with pepper can be sold for 100 yuan, and the use is only a potato.

A pound of potatoes is twenty wen, and almost two or three thousand catties of potatoes are harvested in one acre of land, that is, the people who grow the least potatoes in the village earn nearly one hundred taels, and most villagers can't save so much in a lifetime. Some families slaughtered pigs and sheep to celebrate their income, while others regretted not growing a few acres of potatoes.

After eating potatoes, we all know that potatoes are really hungry, and they can be eaten as food, Xiaoman said, as long as they are stored well, they can be eaten until the spring of next year.

For several days, as soon as Lin Xiaoman opened the courtyard door, he could see all kinds of mountain goods and eggs, duck and eggs placed in front of the door, all of which were sent by the villagers to thank her for earning money with her family.

Lin Xiaoman didn't know who sent it, and he didn't want to go back, so he simply accepted it.

At this time, a holy decree came from the capital: the emperor was gracious and forgave the sins of the Xu family, and although they were not allowed to return to Beijing, they could live like the local people.

After getting the news, the Xu family was grateful to Dade, and most of them went back to pack their luggage and left, only Xu Qiuliang's brothers remained in the village, and some people who had no ability to make a living outside.

Xu Qiuliang's brothers work as well as those who go to the fields all year round, and many of them are hired by other families in the village.

Just received so many thank-you gifts from the villagers, Lin Xiaoman is not good at taking short-term jobs with the villagers, does he still have to go to the city to hire people? But seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, there is not much left to work in the city, which is really sad.
