Chapter 126 Raising the Bar
PS: Thank you for karlking's He Shibi and pink ticket. I'm so touched. I originally prepared a double update for everyone today, but when I saw Brother K's He Shibi, it's needless to say that today's third update, I worked so hard. Everyone, please support me!
This day, the three brothers of the Xue family came to dinner together again. In a few days, the craftsmen will almost start work. They are mainly coming to have a look.
"Where's Lan Lan? Why didn't you see her come over?" The little fat man asked Qiu Dajun, who poured them tea.
"Lanlan, it's in the cargo room in the back." Qiu Dajun replied with a smile.
"The cargo room?" The little fat man's expression was full of puzzle.
"It's a house with pine nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, mushrooms and so on. It's full of mountain goods, so the house is called a cargo house." Qiu Dajun explained to him.
"What are you doing there? Don't say anything to come and see us." The little fat man muttered dissatisfiedly.
"This place is about to bloom, and it's getting warm. Lanlan, let's see how much of those mountain goods are left, and then see how to use it." Qiu Dajun hurriedly said good words for his cousin.
"Lead me to have a look, and I'll see what kind of mountain goods there are." The little fat man couldn't sit still and asked Qiu Dajun to take him there.
When he got to the cargo room in the back, he went in and saw that Molan was pouking her little buttocks and didn't know what she was looking at.
"Ha, Lanlan, what are you doing?" The little fat man ran behind her and patted her on the shoulder.
"Ah, you stinky fat man, you scared me." Mo Lan patted her chest and blurted out what she thought.
"You said I'm fat again. I'm not fat, and I have nothing to do with those big fat people. Besides, I don't stink. If you don't believe it, you can smell it. The little fat man was a little dissatisfied and defended his figure and taste.
"Good, good, you don't stink, you're not fat, I'm fat. What are you doing here?" Molan dealt with him.
"Come and have a look, wow. Why are there so many bags? There are a lot of pine nuts and pecans in your house. Why do you only give us that much every time? It's not enough to plug your teeth." The little fat man touched back and forth and looked at the bags.
"Your teeth are so big, and your teeth are still stuffed. It looks like a lot, but the new mountain goods will last for ** months. It's still a few months, and I don't know if these are enough to eat. I still think it's too little for you. I won't give it to you in the future. Let's see if you still think it's too little!" Molan is not afraid of him. I'm used to talking back to him.
"No, I mean, it's not too little. It's not too little." The little fat man hurriedly turned around. He laughed at Molan.
"Well, I don't care about you. I'll give you a few pecans separately and let you eat them yourself." As Molan said, she put pine nuts and pecans in the basket.
"I knew Lanlan was the best for me." The little fat man immediately flattered.
"Yes, this walnut nourishes the brain. If you eat too much, you will be enlightened. Molan walked out as she spoke, and her little mouth couldn't help grinning.
"Brain nourishing? Open-minded? You girl, my feelings mean that I'm stupid. Stop. The little fat man reacted and chased Molan behind.
The table in the partition is set up with a plate of dried beans stewed with bacon. Dried beans are dried with good beans in autumn. It tastes unique and has a unique taste with stewed meat. A plate of frozen cabbage dipping sauce. This frozen cabbage is the last time to eat it. This is to freeze the cabbage outside in winter. Take it into the room when you want to eat it. After that, blanch it in boiling water. It's very cool to eat with dipping sauce. There are few fresh dishes in winter, so it is the most comfortable to eat.
Now it's almost open, and things can't be frozen outside, so the Mo family has recently cleaned up these frozen goods.
A plate of pine kernel corn, which is the little fat man's favorite. He eats this almost every time he comes. In addition, there is an egg and walnut soup. This soup contains crushed pecans, corn kernels and eggs. It tastes sweet and is suitable for the elderly and children.
The staple food is a plate of hair cake, which is steamed freshly. It is corn flour with white flour. It is to break the noodles the noodles the night before and put it in a basin. Then white flour and three proportions of corn flour. The time to steam the next day, put some melted sugar in it, stir it evenly and pour it It will be done in about 0 minutes. The color is golden, then pour it on the chopping board, cut it into pieces, and take a bite. It's not only fragrant but also sweet. It's delicious.
The three brothers of Xue Lingfeng are not polite. Although these foods are not exquisite, they taste very good, so they not only taste good, but also feel delicious.
"Lanlan, those craftsmen should start work in a few days. I'm afraid your family will be busy again when the time comes." Xue Lingyun talked to Molan while eating.
"It's better to be busy. We can make money when they come." Molan smiled. She was not afraid of being busy. On the contrary, she was afraid of not being busy. If she was not busy, she would have no business. What do you expect to make money when the time comes?
"It's like we won't give you money." The little fat man curled his lips and muttered to Molan.
"It was, you said you gave money for that meal." Molan stiffed his little face and asked him seriously.
"Isn't it agreed that your family is in charge of the food? It's normal not to give money. The little fat man quarreled with her.
"That's what I said before. The two hundred taels of silver have been written off, so this condition will be exempted. Should the meal money be given?" Although Molan said so, she was joking, and she mostly quarreled with the little fat man. The Xue family has so many helpers, how can they ask for the three of them to pay for their meals?
"The silver has been written off, and the meal has not been cancelled. The three of us will eat for free." Xue Lingfeng answered the sentence leisurely.
Molan looked at him feebly and said to herself, "Why are you here to join in the fun? Didn't you see me laughing with the little fat man?
"It's free. I'll collect more money from Manager Xue and come back. You can eat. I'll talk to my uncle and ask him to charge more money next time. Molan said something and then left the room.
After she left, it made the Xue brothers laugh, and the girl was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.
Spring is coming, and spring is coming, and the Mo family is also busy. In the morning, they are busy cooking steamed buns. At noon, they entertain the craftsmen and the princes from the town. Now they don't have any family and special shops. One shop is specially for those craftsmen, and the other shop is for the town. In this way, those who eat are also more comfortable.
In the second half of the day, I was busy opening the vegetable field. All those lands were turned over, prepared, and began to grow all kinds of vegetables.
On both sides of the road, Molan is not allowed to grow vegetables this year. All of them are planted into flowers, including Buddha's top plants, strings of red, peony, nail grass, chicken crown flowers, soup flowers, black stars, trumpet flowers, etc. In addition, a shelf was set up in the open space on one side to grow grapes.
At this moment, Molan is standing in front of the shelf, thinking about when the vine can climb all over the shelf. When the time comes, build a stone table and enjoy the coolness of the stone stool.
"Lanlan, Lanlan, why are you standing here?"
With a call, Molan came to her senses. She saw that she was an aunt in the same village. Her man's surname was Liu and her name was Liu Xiao, but Molan didn't know what her surname was.
"It's my aunt. Why are you here? What's the matter?" Molan saw a basket of mother-in-law on her arm and didn't know the purpose of her coming.
"Lanlan, don't you think your family collects everything? Last year, my aunt's family didn't pick up many pecans and tower mushrooms, and she didn't sell them for much money. My aunt thought that this mother-in-law was also in the mountains, right? Just come and ask if your family will accept it?" Liu Xiao's family asked Molan with a smiling face.
Molan is speechless. Her mother-in-law is all over the mountains. She has dug enough for her own house and the people in the store to eat. If they need it, they can make them much older by casually send out a few people. How can they still accept this!
"Aunkey, this mother-in-law is all in the field, by the roadside, and on the mountain. We can't accept it. Besides, it's not worth it. This basket is only worth a penny. Who will sell it?" Mo Lan did not explicitly refuse and said the words euphemistically.
"One article? Sell! My aunt sells, and a penny is also money. This time it's a basket, and she can earn several cents a day. How can she not sell it? When Liu Xiao's family heard it, he hurriedly said to sell it.
"All in. It's not easy for my aunt. It's all brought up, and we took it. Auntie, take the backyard and ask me for the money. Molan smiled at her and asked her to go to the backyard, while she thought about it herself.
Originally, she didn't have the idea of her mother-in-law at all, because there were too many things. In later generations, this thing was rare because the pollution of vegetables was too serious, and it was pure hot, so people could rest assured that the price came up, but the vegetables here were all pollution-free, and people did not pay attention to
However, Molan now has an idea. Liu Xiaojia's aunt went out to say this, and she is afraid that she will become the sea of mother-in-law. Molan plans to dry all her mother-in-law and add ** and rock sugar to make tea in winter. This thing can relieve fire and prevent colds, and is not afraid of When those rich princes drink well, I'm afraid they will pay to buy it and take it back to the elders of the family. Why don't you worry about money when the time comes?
As soon as the news of the Mo family's mother-in-law came out, there was a long queue at the door. That thing was everywhere, and it was a basket in a while. Who would not want to exchange it for money? This is useless.
Wang's family settled the account with a few big money, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't know what his granddaughter had. The yard was full of sun, and the backyard was also a lot of sun. The family was about to be buried by his mother-in-law, and he didn't see his granddaught She just needs to pay for it. Let her granddaughter do whatever she wants.
The team of selling mothers-in-law was lively for more than half a month before there were signs of slowing down.
"Say, aunt, this mother-in-law is about to be dug up. I'm afraid she won't be able to sell it a few times in the future. Can you accept other mountain vegetables?" A woman asked Wang while queuing up.
"What kind of mountain food?" Wang's eyes are dizzy when she looks at her mother-in-law now. There is still an end here. They inquire about other mountain vegetables. It's not over yet!
"Thorn old buds, Anhui vegetables, big leaf celery, small garlic, cauliflower, Cantonese cuisine, cucumber fragrance, ferns, hairy legs, bright leaf vegetables, these mountain vegetables are old noses. I can't even count it." The woman was also excited when she mentioned the mountain vegetables. If the Mo family had received it, they would not send it. When the time came, they would be afraid that they would not be able to fill their pockets.
