Chapter 240: Benefiting the People
"Falling sunflower, threshing machine, who needs to use it?" Xiao Jiuyue didn't answer the rhetorical question.
Luo Kui replied without thinking: "It must be the common people who farm." ”
"It's not easy for the common people, farming with their backs to the loess depends on God's food, and the Xiao family makes a lot of money, so there is no shortage of this one." Xiao Jiuyue never thought of using the threshing machine to make money.
Luo Kui squatted in front of Xiao Jiuyue, took the initiative to pinch her legs, raised her head and smiled: "Miss, the villagers of Fu'an Village, I really should thank you." ”
"Forget about gratitude, as long as they don't harm the Xiao family." Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyebrows, looking at Luo Kui's flattering appearance, but it didn't make people feel disgusted at all, only gave people a coquettish feeling, she said: "Luo Kui, you go out with me." ”
"Okay." Luo Kui immediately got up and went out with Xiao Jiuyue!
In the kitchen, Mother Geng, Mother Wang and others saw Xiao Jiuyue coming, and hurriedly put down the work in their hands and saluted, "Miss." ”
"Mother Geng, Mother Wang, you should be busy with the work in your hands first." Xiao Jiuyue waved her hand, signaling them to leave her alone, and Xiao Jiuyue got busy in the kitchen by herself!
"Miss, if not, I'll come!" Luo Kui looked at the kitchen knife in Xiao Jiuyue's hand, the slender white hand and the kitchen knife were not worthy!
Geng's mother also stepped forward and said, "Miss, I'll do it, what does Miss want to do, just ask." ”
Mother Geng had just stewed the potato stew in the pot, she wiped her clean hands on the apron on her body, looked at Xiao Jiuyue with a smile, and looked at her hands with ten fingers that did not touch the spring water, I was afraid that this knife would not have long eyes, and it would make a cut!
Luo Kui and Geng's mother were left and right, Xiao Jiuyue put down the knife and said, "Pull a knife horizontally in the middle of the chestnut, Luo Kui, you prepare a little boiling water!" ”
"It's easy." As soon as Geng's mother heard that she was doing this work, she immediately stepped forward to take the knife and did it neatly.
Luo Kui also went to get boiling water, in the kitchen, there is a lot of boiling water, there is no shortage at all!
"Throw the pulled chestnuts into boiling water, wrap them in a handkerchief, and you can peel the chestnuts!" Xiao Jiuyue moved her mouth, and Mother Wang in the kitchen had already rushed forward to do the work!
There are many people and great strength, and after a while, Xiao Jiuyue got a large plate of peeled and clean chestnuts, Xiao Jiuyue simply didn't do anything, and let people prepare all the dishes she wanted to make with chestnut roast chicken.
When it was time to fry in the pot, Mother Geng and Mother Wang argued about who would take the shovel, Xiao Jiuyue saw this scene and said directly: "Mother Liu, you come to fry!" ”
"Miss!" The two people who were arguing, Geng's mother and Wang's mother, looked at Xiao Jiuyue in shock, they looked at Liu's mother who was not fighting or grabbing, and they couldn't wait to glare at Liu's mother with their eyes.
"Miss, I can do it!" Liu's mother took the spatula and started directly, on weekdays, the kitchen is Geng's mother and Wang's mother, today, it's finally her turn, Liu's mother rolled up her sleeves, full of energy.
I have to say that the kitchen of the Xiao family is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the cooking skills of Geng's mother and Wang's mother are good enough.
Soon, the chestnut stewed chicken was already stewed, and as the fire in the stove was blazing, the aroma of the chestnut stewed chicken wafted out from the pot.
"Simmer over low heat, wait until the soup is almost simmered, and that's it!" Xiao Jiuyue dealt with the chestnut stewed chicken, and found Geng's mother again: "Geng's mother, I have another dish here, sweet and sour lotus root sandwich." ”
"Miss, I can do it!" When Mother Geng heard this, she glanced at Mother Wang proudly, and then looked like she was listening.
After Xiao Jiuyue taught Geng's mother how to make this dish, she looked at the lost mother Wang on the side and said, "Mother Wang, you are the best at making dim sum!" ”
Osmanthus wine stuffed dumplings, osmanthus brown sugar rice cake......
These dishes are all seasonal dishes, and now it is the season of osmanthus fragrance, and it is also desirable to use osmanthus to make some dishes.
In one afternoon, Xiao Jiuyue made all the dishes and snacks, and in the evening, it was served to the table!
"Sister, the balls stuffed with osmanthus wine are delicious, sweet and glutinous!" Xiao Yurong likes to eat this dish the most, and she usually talks less, so she can't help but eat more.
"Sister, I like to eat chestnut chicken!" Xiao Jiayuan's bowl was piled with chickens and chestnuts.
"Sister, it's better to sandwich sweet and sour lotus root!" Xiao Tingwu's favorite is the sweet and sour sweet and sour lotus root clip!
"If you like to eat, let the kitchen cook it often." Xiao Jiuyue looked at her younger siblings with a smile, she used to be alone, but now listening to them shouting 'sister' one after another, it made her feel happy.
"Grandmother, this year's grain harvest has been abundant!" Xiao Jiuyue and Mrs. Xiao chatted about the good news of the bumper harvest, not only Mrs. Xiao, but also the rest of the Xiao family, they were all happy.
Xiao Jiuyue said: "When the new grain is in the warehouse, send a few more truckloads of grain to Lingnan, and grandfather and father will not worry about eating and drinking!" ”
"Okay." Old Mrs. Xiao would go outside when she was fine, and when she saw the yellow and clear patch of the field, she probably guessed that this year's grain harvest would be bumper, and she asked: "Yue'er, I heard that you got a threshing machine from Ai Qiushi?" ”
Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flashed slightly, and said: "Actually, I read it in the book, I heard my father say it before, I just tried it, but I didn't expect it to be made!" ”
"Well, I heard that a threshing machine can withstand the work of several people, which is a good thing for the benefit of the people!" Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Jiuyue: "What are you going to do?" ”
Old Madam Xiao's words knocked Xiao Jiuyue down, the old lady was obviously not the same question as Luo Kui, she pondered for a long time before she said: "What does grandmother mean, let the threshing machine be used by more people?" ”
"Hmm." Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Jiuyue with a smile, her eyes full of appreciation.
"Lord Rong has just taken office, if such a good thing can be used by more people, it must be good." Xiao Jiuyue said, and immediately asked Jin Wen to send a letter to Rong Xun!
After dinner, before it was dark, Xiao Jiuyue went to Ai Qiushi, and Yu Ge's excited voice was next to him: "Miss, this thing is amazing!" I am more powerful than Liu Jin and the four of them! ”
Liu Jin, Liu's mother's son, also followed the rest of the Xiao family to cut rice in the field.
"Moreover, Liu Jin and the four of them are all tired like dogs, I think I can still do it!" Yu Ge wiped the sweat from his forehead, with the threshing machine, he didn't feel tired at all!
"Yu Ge, when you use it today, do you feel that there is anything that needs to be improved?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Yu Ge, who was covered in ash, and asked.
"Miss, I think it's very good, I don't need to improve it at all." Yu Ge replied without thinking.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at him without saying a word, Yu Ge thought about it seriously and said: "If you step on it, it would be better to save a little effort, the ash is a little bigger, but, throwing the grain, how can there be a big gray?" ”
