When Gao Mingcheng returned home with a full harvest, Zhang Chengyuan had already left, and Gao Zhuang also sent Xiao Xuxu over.

Xu has just come over, and the tall and strong people have not left yet, and they are helping many Meitao wash the kudzu paste.

These kudzu pastes were ground by Zhang Chengyuan before, and after they were ground, they needed to be poured with water and stirred, and then washed and filtered.

Because there are more kudzu, it is not very convenient to wrap and filter with a piece of cloth, so Gao Mingcheng deliberately asked many beauties to make a bag out of white cotton cloth, when filtering, one person will open the mouth of the bag, and one person will pour the slag and water into the bag, and at the bottom of the bag, there is a basin to filter out the water.

After washing it a few times like this, wash out all the starch in the kudzu paste, and you're done.

Next, the kudzu slag can be put aside, and then wait for the mixture in the basin to precipitate, when the starch sinks, the water rises, the next day the turbid water on it is poured out, and then poured into the clean well water for cleaning, and then precipitate, so it takes two or three times, the more times you wash it, the whiter the color of the arrowroot powder made.

This process is not complicated, it is just troublesome, and it takes several days to make arrowroot powder.

The ground kudzu in the morning has been washed once, and now it is washed and precipitated for the second time, and the ground kudzu in the afternoon is still being washed for the first time.

Gao Mingcheng put down the things in his hand, walked over to see them do things, and then nodded frequently in approval.

"Brother Mingcheng, the kudzu you dug up is much bigger than the other people in the village! I saw that other people dug up, the largest, only five or six catties, a lot of one or two catties. ”

Gao Zhuang saw the fresh kudzu piled on the ground, and couldn't help but praise, he Ming Cheng Brother is really good, no matter what he does, he is better than others!

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "What's the point of digging up one or two catties?" The vintage is too small and it will not be powdered! Just now, the black tiger and the elf got two pheasants, you can take one back and stew it to replenish the body of the fine grandmother. ”

Gao Zhuang heard that Gao Mingcheng asked him to take a pheasant back, so he wanted to refuse, he only took a hare in the morning, how could he be embarrassed to ask for a pheasant again, but Gao Mingcheng said that it was for his grandmother to replenish his body, so he couldn't refuse.

Gao Mingcheng saw his thoughts, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Let you take it, our two families don't be polite, so as not to be born." ”

"Hey." Gao Zhuang immediately smiled and responded.

After the arrowroot powder is washed out, it will take time to settle, and many beauties will have to go to the kitchen to stir-fry.

The rice is already cooked, the dish is ready, and it just needs to be fried.

Gao Mingcheng left Gao Zhuang to eat at home, but this time Gao Zhuang refused, he carried the pheasant given by Gao Mingcheng, and said with a smile: "No, my meal has been prepared at home, besides, I have to go back and clean up this chicken." ”

Okay, so Gao Mingcheng sent Gao Zhuang away.

It was already completely dark outside, and before he had gone far, the tall figure fell into darkness, as if swallowed by a monster in the darkness.

Gao Mingcheng washed his face and hands, picked up Xiao Xuxu, who was playing with bamboo on the side, and walked towards the kitchen, the kitchen was lit up, orange and yellow lights, revealing the warmth of fireworks in the world.

Many beauties had already started the fire, and when they saw Gao Mingcheng coming in, they immediately said, "You come to light the fire, you want a big fire, I'll fry the vegetables quickly." ”

"Okay." Gao Ming Cheng responded and took Xiao Xuxu to sit in the stove, and when people sat there, the fire in the stove reflected on his body, bringing bursts of warmth.

Outside the house, the mountain wind carried a chill, rolling wantonly between heaven and earth, and the fallen leaves on the ground were also swept up by the cold wind, making a rustling sound.

Under the effect of the flames, the washed large iron pot has been boiled dry, and then many Mei poured some tea oil into it.

This is raw pressed tea oil, when stir-frying, you need to boil the oil for a while to remove the raw smell, otherwise the fried vegetables will have a smell.

Many experienced people use a spatula to stir the tea oil in the pot, and according to the temperature of the oil and the smoke coming out, you can know whether it is time for the fire.

Just listen to the stinging sound, pour the dish into the hot oil, and then be quickly stir-fried by many beauties.

The first dish is fried with chili peppers and blown meat, there are definitely no fresh chili peppers to eat at this time, using dried chili peppers dried in autumn, and then put a handful of sun-dried tempeh, which can smell fragrant outside the house.

Gao Mingcheng felt his appetite increase just by smelling this smell.

Next, a lot of beauty and made chili fried dried fish and wind blown meat fried gourds, gourds are dried, in summer and autumn, as long as a few gourd seedlings are planted, you can produce a lot of fruits, eat at home, you can't eat at all, so you can slice and dry, leave it for winter to eat, this stir-fried, do not put chili peppers, children can also eat.

In addition to eating gourds, Xiao Xuxu also has a steamed egg to eat, as well as a cabbage moss, which is considered everyone's taste, and it is taken care of.

Being a mother has this kind of superpower, and the dishes she makes will satisfy the whole family.

Because the fire is big, the dishes are cooked quickly, and the dishes are all washed and cut before, so it only takes about ten minutes for several dishes to be served one by one.

Steamed eggs are steamed with rice, and before taking them out, dig a little lard with a spoon and put it in, and the oil is yellow and shiny, and it makes people have a great appetite when they look at it.

"It's time to eat." Many beauties greeted and brought dishes and chopsticks.

Gao Mingcheng's stomach was already grumbling with hunger, and at this time, while picking vegetables, he said: "When digging kudzu root today, I dug some winter bamboo shoots by the way and came back, and tomorrow you peel out the winter bamboo shoots and use them to fry the wind blowing meat!" ”

"Great, I haven't eaten winter bamboo shoots in a long time!" Many beautiful eyes lit up instantly, the winter bamboo shoots were crisp and tender, even if they were fried vegetarian, they were all delicious.

"Then tomorrow will be a blessing! By the way, Gao Zhuang also said just now that Grandma Fine will make bitter tofu tomorrow, and when it is ready, she will give us more. ”

To make bitter oak tofu, you need to soak the bitter oak seeds in advance to soak off the bitter and astringent taste, presumably as soon as you come back, the fine grandmother will soak the bitter oak seeds, so that you can do it tomorrow.

Gao Mingcheng's heart was warm, and he felt that Grandma Xi was thinking about him, and he was afraid that he would not have bitter tofu to eat in the county.

This feeling of being remembered and put in my heart is very good.

At this time, many Mei seemed to think of something again, and after a sigh, she said: "I heard that my sister-in-law may have given birth in the next few days!" Mingcheng, since we live in the village, if we catch up, we have to give a gift. ”

When Gao Mingcheng heard this, he subconsciously recalled the memories of his previous life, but for other people's affairs, he could only remember a rough idea, Gao Mingpeng's daughter was indeed born in winter, but he couldn't remember the specific months and days.

Right! Although Huang Su'e has a pointed belly, everyone says that she is pregnant with a son, but she was born with a daughter.

Of course, Huang Su'e gave birth to a son in her first child, and her second child is a daughter, which is actually not bad when it comes to making up a good word, and it does not affect Huang Su'e's status in the hearts of the high-vision couple.

Gao Mingcheng said while eating: "You look at it, let's prepare it according to the customs of the village." ”

When many beauties heard this, they knew it in their hearts.

As soon as they got married, they split up, and their relationship with the eldest brother was limited, so the gift they gave out was naturally not very big.

At this moment, what many beauties don't know is that she was gossiping about others in the first half of the night, and Huang Su'e started it in the second half of the night, because it was the second child, and not long after the launch, she gave birth to the child smoothly.

At half past five in the morning, a baby's cry sounded, indicating that she had come to earth.

Luo Xiaohua hugged her newborn granddaughter, feeling a little excited, although she thought that Huang Su'e's baby was a grandson, but she didn't dislike her granddaughter!

After all, she already has two grandchildren, but her granddaughter doesn't yet!

The world likes men and women, but the first granddaughter will always treat her differently.

After Huang Su'e learned that it was a daughter, she was slightly disappointed, but Luo Xiaohua comforted her, saying that a boy and a girl were just right, Huang Su'e gave birth to a big grandson, and now she has given birth to a big granddaughter, she is very happy.

After Gao Yuanjian and Gao Mingpeng learned that they were born with a girl, the two did not have too many mood swings, as long as the first child is a son, then it is not so important whether the second child is a son or a daughter.

Gao Mingpeng lit a cigarette and smoked half a cigarette before saying: "Dad, now that I am engaged in family planning, the people in the brigade have already told me that after Su'e gives birth, as soon as her health improves, she will be taken to the health center for sterilization, saying that I am the accountant of the village committee and cannot be truthful." ”

Gao Yuanjian was also smoking, and surrounded by smoke, he said in a deep voice: "Then go for ligation, anyway, if you have children and daughters, it's not bad." ”

Gao Mingpeng nodded, he is not bad as an accountant, in addition to collecting money, he has to go door-to-door to collect money, his status in the village has indeed risen, especially those who want to follow him to do things, one by one they hold him, if he receives a job, he will take whoever he takes to do it.

Another one, he is more clever and will come to things, after getting acquainted with the village committee, he can more or less get some benefits, and in order to have a greater say in the future when dividing the fields, Gao Mingpeng will also continue to do this accounting.

Although the land was divided in 83 years, but over the years, some people have grown old, some people have married, and some people have married daughters-in-law and given birth to grandchildren.

When the time comes, the fields will definitely have to be redivided.

I have to say that Gao Mingpeng is actually a very discerning person.

Gao Mingpeng's ideas are very much in agreement with Gao Yuanjian, who has also done things in the village committee.

Gao Yuanjian said: "The field is the root of the farmer, you work in the village committee, and when the time comes, the field will be redivided, and our family will definitely not suffer." ”

When the field was divided for the first time, Gao Yuanjian worked in the village committee, so their family's field was not bad.

When he thought of dividing the land for the second time, it was his son who was working in the village committee, and Gao Yuanjian felt very down-to-earth and a little proud.

Among his children, he liked this eldest the most, and in fact, the eldest did reassure him the most.

Thinking of a few children, the second child was subconsciously ignored by him, and said directly: "The third daughter-in-law is also pregnant, and she is already pregnant, your mother said that she is expected to give birth after the beginning of spring next year, and I don't know if her baby is male or female." As for the fourth daughter-in-law...... I've been married for so long, and there's no news at all! ”

"At the beginning, your mother took a fancy to Mingli about the eldest girl of the Zhang family, saying that she was easy to give birth to, but I think your mother is blind."

When Zhang Jinling lived at home for a while, there was a lot of trouble at home, so Gao Yuanjian's impression of Zhang Jinling was not very good.

He thinks that it is because Zhang Jinling is not good, so he will make such a fuss, otherwise when there is no Zhang Jinling, how can they be so good as a family?

Because of this prejudice, Gao Yuanjian didn't want to see Zhang Jinling, and the last time he went to the county to eat wine, he didn't pay much attention to Zhang Jinling.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being estranged from your father-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Gao Mingpeng heard his father's dissatisfaction with the fourth daughter-in-law in his tone, but he didn't say anything, after smoking a cigarette, he looked at the gradually brighter sky, and suddenly said: "The second child just happened to live in the village, and he said that he wanted to get arrowroot powder." My daughter has been born, and when the day comes, I'll go and report it. ”

"Then let's boil eggs now, your mother has already saved eggs, and after they are boiled and made into red eggs, she will take the red eggs to report the news." Gao Yuanzhi said.

After giving birth to a child, it is considered a local custom to take red eggs to report to a closer relative's house.

In some places, when the full moon wine is held, the host will boil red eggs and give them to the guests present.

However, Gaojia Village does not hold full moon wine, and only people with particularly good family backgrounds will spend money on wine.

Luo Xiaohua took care of the baby and the mother in the room, and Gao Yuanjian went to boil eggs and porridge by himself, as for Gao Mingpeng's eldest son, he was in charge of Gao Mingpeng's side at this time.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Gao Mingpeng took two red eggs and came to Niuweiling.

Gao Mingpeng rarely came over, but about Gao Mingcheng's movements, he heard a lot from the mouths of the villagers, it can be said that Gao Mingcheng is the most promising young man in Gaojia Village, and under Gao Mingcheng's achievements, the engineering team he set up has been overshadowed a lot.

In addition to Gao Mingcheng's own achievements, taking the third Gao Mingwan to be a driver, and the fourth Gao Mingli to the county as a worker, is also a topic that the villagers often talk about.

When Gao Mingpeng heard these words, he was sometimes in a trance.

When he was young, he hated this younger brother very much, because people often deliberately told him that Gao Mingcheng had done something unpleasant, or that Gao Mingcheng had fought with someone again, which made him very uncomfortable to listen to.

But now, people often boast about Gao Mingcheng's achievements in front of him.

This kind of gap makes Gao Mingpeng sometimes in a trance, wondering if he heard it wrong.

Of course, he knew that he heard it right, because the second child is really different!

Walking into the courtyard of Gao Mingcheng's house, Gao Mingpeng saw at a glance that Gao Mingcheng was grinding Gegen, his movements were fast and steady, grinding until there was only a little left, and he didn't slow down, it was still so fast, but he didn't cut his fingers.

Gao Mingpeng watched it for a few minutes, and even forgot his intention.

It was Gao Mingcheng who finished grinding a kudzu root and looked up at him that he reacted. (End of chapter)
