Because he was born prematurely, his mother's milk was not much, so he naturally couldn't feed him personally, so he bought him a nursing mother, perhaps because of his poor immunity, as long as he drank the milk of the nursing mother, he vomited and diarrhea, but frightened the family. The eldest mother was well-informed and knew that animal milk could also feed the baby, so she asked anyone who had milk-producing livestock, and she begged to feed her own heart.

Qin Yu drank the yellow cow milk, goat milk, dog milk, and even the milk of the mother of the Qin family, that is, the milk of the sow, after trying them one by one, Qin Yu accepted the milk and goat milk well, but the milk production was too small, and he could only barely raise his own calves, so the mother of the Qin family put her eyes on the sheep.

The eldest mother of the Qin family specially went to the farm where the county government office raised livestock and brought three sheep back to take goat milk to feed him.

One male and two females, with two lambs.

The farmer who sold the ewes to them told him that if he wanted to buy them, he had to buy them back with them, and that he should not starve the lambs to death on purpose because he wanted to take the milk of the ewes, but he would send a letter to Lidian that on the last day of every decade, Lidian should visit the two lambs in their house on time until they reached adulthood. If the lamb dies halfway, or is emaciated and sick, their family has violated the Qin law and will be punished, as for how to punish and how much to punish, it depends on the situation.

The eldest mother originally only wanted to buy one, but with a lamb must drink milk, she does not know how much milk a ewe will produce, afraid that her own grandchildren and lambs will not be enough to eat, simply buy two ewes, two ewes to raise two lambs and a small baby, should be more than enough, if there is surplus milk, you can drink it with the whole family, it will not be wasted.

At this time, the townsman mentioned next to him, if you buy another ram, maybe the ewes will produce milk every year? When the eldest mother of the Qin family heard this, yes, is it true that my grandson only drinks milk this year, and will not drink it next year and the year after?

Buy! Anyway, their family is not short of Qin Banliang, let alone silk.

In this way, the whole family drank goat's milk.

Because, in order to raise the two lambs well, not to violate the Qin law, and in order to let the ewes produce milk well and not starve their own grandchildren, the eldest mother of the Qin family ordered that the two ewes should eat the freshest grass, and feed the beans once every other day, so that they must be healthy and stable milk production.

Facts have proved that the milk produced by one sheep is enough for Qin Yu and the lamb to eat three meals a day without stopping, and the milk produced by the two ewes cannot be drunk by the whole family. Goat's milk is not put away, let alone overnight, and the remaining milk can't be poured out, right? It can only be given to the slaves.

Goat's milk is naturally a good thing, but only slightly boiled goat's milk, that taste, whoever drinks who knows.

In order to be able to drink less fishy goat's milk, he began to throw things into it when the adults were not looking.

It was really thrown, he didn't even stand at that time, it was cold, the pot of cooking goat's milk and the earthen stove were placed in the center of the house, and he was placed not far away in a fence surrounded by bamboo, he first threw dried chrysanthemums into it, his only sister Xiao Jiaojiao gave it to him, the chrysanthemums were fluttering, he couldn't throw it in, so he babbled and instigated his little sister to do it, the little sister was very easy to fool, knowing that this little brother was favored by the whole family, and he also spoiled him, what he wanted to play, how to play, he depended on him. So, that night, Qin Yu finally drank goat's milk that was not so fishy.

Because she injured her body when she gave birth to Qin Yu, the eldest mother of the Qin family asked Qin Mu and Qin Yu to drink goat's milk together, but she didn't drink it because she didn't like the fishy smell. Mother Qin drank the first sip of goat's milk that night, and thought that there was something wrong with her sense of taste, so she drank several sips in succession, and then said to Aunt Qin with a surprised face: "Mother, today's goat milk is particularly delicious, taste it carefully, and there is a faint floral fragrance, well, it's yellow flower fragrance, Jiaojiao, did you add yellow flowers to the goat milk jar?" ”

There are only three daughters in the family who like to pick yellow flowers, and Qin's mother, who runs the family, has bright eyes and knows everything.

The petite girl was a little scared, and after looking at her young brother, she nodded her head with tears in her eyes: "Auntie, I was wrong, I won't dare to ...... next time."

Mother Qin wiped away the little girl's tears funny, and smiled at Mother Qin: "Mother also taste it, this goat milk boiled with yellow flowers has a unique flavor, maybe Mother will like it?" ”

Aunt Qin took a bowl and tasted it very face-savingly, just this mouthful, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "My family Jiaojiao may have the talent of easy teeth, this goat milk tastes really good today, and I will cook goat milk according to this method in the future." Jiaojiao has merit, merit should be rewarded, give her my jade huang, you keep it for her, and when you are older, you will be a son-in-law. ”

Qin's mother vaguely knew how much money Qin's mother had, and after she heard it, she happily thanked her daughter, and then instructed the servants in charge of the kitchen to cook goat's milk at home in the future, and put yellow flowers to remove the fishy smell.

Qin Yu showed a bright smile with four teeth to his young sister, and the young lady also smiled very happily, from then on, Qin Yu wanted to put anything in the goat's milk, and the petite little sister helped him, so the Qin family drank goat milk with salt, goat milk with dried almonds, and goat milk with rose petals and jasmine petals......

Although the eldest mother of the Qin family likes her little grandson the most, she also dotes on her only granddaughter, and feels that she has a talent in cooking, so she tries it. Regarding the taste of different goat's milk, she feels that the jasmine flavor is her favorite, and every time she cooks goat milk in the future, there must be a jasmine flavor.

The first year is okay, the goat milk produced by the two ewes is just enough for the whole family of five to drink together, and in the second year, the two ewes are pregnant again, and they must wait at least half a year to produce milk again, although Qin Yu can eat some eggs at this time, drink some rice porridge as supplementary food, drinking goat milk is not necessary, but goat milk has become a must-have drink at home, and the old Qin mother is a little inseparable from it, so she plans to go to the county office to bring the two ewes back.

Because the Qin family raised three big sheep and two small sheep before, the townsman was very satisfied, and happily picked the most robust three ewes and two rams to the Qin family, and taught the experience, so that the ewes could be conceived at the same time, so that their family could drink goat milk all year round.

Mother Qin thought so, so she went beyond the plan and took five sheep and two lambs home.

Qin Yu: Big Mother, if you are modern, you must be the kind of favorite consumer of merchants who can't stand the promotion of merchants on impulsive consumption.

In the third year, even the lambs brought home in the first year were pregnant and gave birth to lambs, and at this time, there were six ewes in the family producing milk at the same time, and the flock was even more than sixteen, and the goat's milk was too much to drink, so they had to be rewarded to the slaves.

By the fourth year, the sheepfold built by the family could no longer be crowded, so the slaves had to build a special sheepfold in the open space outside under the guidance of the Xixiang officials, so as to breed the sheep on a large scale.

The goat milk at home can not be drunk, although the slaves can be rewarded, but their family rewards the slaves with precious goat milk every day is not a thing, the pre-Qin class is clear, the master is the master, the servant is the servant, if you are the official to the phase of the lord of the system to wait for how many guests in the family to the following people how good it is to you as the master of the family is benevolent, you can fight a benevolent reputation, but the Qin family is a small family of five, there are a lot of slaves in the family, and you can make the slave's food better than the surrounding people's families, it will be a bit of a slap in the face. People don't say anything in person, but when neighbors get along with each other, the taste changes.

In the Qin State, there are guarantees between neighbors, and there are joint sittings, and neighborhood problems must not be careless, and the eldest mother of the Qin family pays special attention to this.

Just like before, after Qin Yu tossed the steamed buns, the eldest mother of the Qin family deliberately asked Li Dian to calculate a happy day, and invited the remaining seventeen families, including the Lian Li Dian of Xixiang Artemisia, where their family is located, to their own homes, specially set up a banquet to invite the neighbors to eat big steamed buns, and personally took the women to see the distributed dough, and asked the cook to demonstrate on the spot how to sift the noodles, how to mix the dough, how to knead the dough, how to wake up the dough, how to knead the steamed buns, how to steam the steamed buns in the pot, in short, the whole process of making steamed buns, It's all clear to the neighbors.

The friendly attitude of Qin's mother's neighbors was openly displayed, and the banquet was very successful - in fact, everyone stood and ate steamed buns with shredded pickles while watching the whole process of the chef steaming steamed buns - and when they left, the family also sent a ball of noodles to make fermentation, in short, the guests and hosts were happy.

As for how many families can afford to eat such steamed buns, it is not for Qin's mother.

After more than a month, Li Dian specially brought the famous elders in the county to the door, and sent the Qin family a reward from the county, five horses of plain silk and a stone of rice, as well as a handwritten commendation document from the county order, praising the Qin family as a gentle and hard-working people.

The whole process was lively and festive, everyone was beaming with joy on their faces, as if they had been rewarded in their own family, and no one said sour words, saying that Qin's mother was kind and kind, and she was a model for all the women in the township, etc.

In short, among the people in Xixiang, Aunt Qin manages the reputation of the Qin family very well, and she will not take risks on slaves, and occasionally rewards are benevolent, and rewards every day will make people look sideways, and it is easy for people to make irresponsible remarks.

The excess goat's milk can be sold, but the Qin people are doing business, but they have to pay taxes. It's not that their family can't afford to pay this idea tax, but once they start this way, the county and township documents will record such a sum, in Qin's mother's thoughts, businessmen are lowly people who will only take care of things, their family is now stable and rich, she doesn't want to go to the side of businessmen.

What's more, because of the control of the time and number of ewes pregnant, in fact, the goat milk at home is not enough to open a store and sell it every day.

When Qin's mother was worried, Qin Yu suggested: "Wheat flour dough can be fermented, why can't goat milk be fermented?" Auntie, why don't you seal the goat's milk in a jar and see what it will become in a few days? ”

With flour fermented pearls in front, Qin's mother immediately agreed, so the Qin family also had a scene where Qin Yu continued to "waste" food after fermenting flour.

The hard work paid off, and in the spring of this year, next to the fire pit where their family cooked, Qin Yu finally fermented an urn of yogurt that could be eaten.

Qin Yu tasted it, it was sour, and the taste was a little rushed, but it was indeed the taste of memory.

He showed it to his mother and mother, who liked it, and she seemed to like everything she could eat, even goat's milk, which had never been fishy before.

After the eldest mother tasted it, she asked the maid to bring a jar of honey, scooped a spoonful full of it and stirred it in the yogurt, tasted it, scooped another spoonful, tasted it again, nodded, scooped another spoonful, tasted it again, and then breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed: "My family is delicious, and you can enter the room." ”
