Chapter 123 (2/2)
After breakfast the next day, Jane went to shitouping with Lian Fangzhou and lianze.
Today, the workers leading the cattle and carrying the plow and harrow also came here. They were talking together. Seeing them coming, they came forward and called ”the owner” with a smile. What's the way to do this job?
Lian Fangzhou and a simple arranged to go down.
Disperse the oxen and let them plough the flat land. One piece of land should be ploughed back and forth twice. As for those places where the cattle can't plow, let the former men dig with hoes.
Five people were left to continue the cleaning work yesterday. The remaining workers and the workers leading the cattle were divided into several groups, starting from different directions.
Even the lunch prepared by the family didn't say, the salary was generous and timely, and the big guy was full of energy. After the assignment, he agreed with a smile and took the initiative to work.
A Jian and Lian Ze and Lian Fangzhou went to see each other for a while. A Jian and Lian Ze still carried the cleared firewood home, while Lian Fangzhou went back first.
Today, there are 12 more people to eat. She has to go back to help the third aunt.
When she got home, the third aunt had already mixed the flour and steamed bread after waking up. She was baking pancakes. Lian Fangqing is washing vegetables, and Lian Che is helping to burn the fire.
Today, both steamed bread and pancake have been added by nearly half, which is a big job.
Seeing Lian Fangzhou coming back, the third aunt was very happy and immediately said, ”Fangzhou, there is no big bone soup today, but there is still a little bit of streaky pork! Would you like to send cabbage soup this afternoon? It's good to put some coriander on it! On such a cold day, a sip of hot soup is better than none! ”
Lian Fangzhou said with a smile, ”didn't I buy two chickens yesterday? Just kill two chickens! Don't we have a lot of dried mushrooms in our house? Stew a pot of thick chicken soup with dried mushrooms. I'll go to the city again in the afternoon and buy some big bones and meat! ”
”What?” The third aunt was so surprised that she stopped the spatula for pancakes. She couldn't believe it and asked, ”do you want to kill the chicken?”
”Yes Lian Fangzhou then said with a smile: ”pick some more chicken, chop it and stir fry it with streaky pork! That's right. Let's have a good meal tonight! I've been very tired these two days! ”The third aunt can't help but say, ”Ouch A, heartache way: ”you are really! Look at you! Those two roosters are so big, I also said, why do you buy roosters well? You waste food and can't lay eggs. It turns out that you want to kill and eat! ”
Lian Fangzhou then said with a smile: ”come on, you don't have to worry about it. I promised the big guy that he can't talk and don't count! These two days of work is very beautiful, we can save a lot of heart! It's worth it
The corner of the third aunt's mouth didn't think it was worth it.
However, she sighed slightly: ”well, you said that, what else can I say! Then kill it, burn a pot of hot water, that's quick
Lian Fangzhou was teased with a smile by the third aunt's distressed appearance. She burned the fire and added water to the pot. She still asked lianche to take care of it. She took a basket to hold the dried mushrooms.
When the hot water is done, the dried mushrooms are poured into a wooden basin and soaked.
Lian Fangqing came to help and said with a smile, ”sister, can I pull the hair from the cock's tail to make a shuttlecock?”
Why not? Lian Fangzhou agreed with a smile and pulled it out at will before using hot water to remove hair. Lian Fangqing cheered happily.
Children in the countryside don't have much to entertain themselves with. A wooden knife, a small catapult, a flute made of bamboo, a top made of wood and a shuttlecock made of chicken feather are good things.
However, it's hard to kill chickens twice a year. It's not easy to get the bright long hair on the cock's tail. The naughty boy caught the big cock to pluck the beautiful long hair on his tail. Of course, he couldn't escape the fate of being beaten.
Obviously, lianfangqing and lianche will not do such things.
