If she had not read in the book that Lu Jin was likely to be her future husband-in-law, she would never have taken Xu Yuanru's hostility seriously.

But now after seeing those things, although she still thought it was a bit ridiculous that she and Lu Jin would be husband and wife, she felt a little unhappy at being treated so hostilely by Xu Yuanru.

"Brother Qingshu, I'm going to the kitchen to cook something delicious. You can give me a plate of pig head meat first, and the jar of wine I brought. I agreed to it last time when I drank it in the village."

Qingshu was lowering his head to talk to Xu Yuanru. The moment she looked at Lin Xiaoman, he saw all the hostility in her eyes. He was scolding this girl for overestimating her abilities. After hearing Lin Xiaoman's words, she immediately agreed, "Okay.

Hey, I'll go right away. Miss Xiaoman, what are you cooking that's delicious? Do you want my share?"

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "Yes, I will do more, and everyone in the county government will have a share."

Qingshu grinned, and his attitude towards Xu Yuanru was no longer as warm as he pretended to be before, "Miss Xu, please take a few steps quickly. I have something else to do and I can't walk slowly with you."

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation.

Originally, because she was willing to give out two thousand stones of food, Lu Jin and Qingshu's attitude toward her changed, allowing her to experience the joy of being a financial sponsor. Who knew that just a few minutes later, she was knocked back to her original form.

Humph, it’s all Lin Xiaoman’s fault. When she becomes Mrs. Lu, she won’t even give her as a concubine.

Xu Yuanru glared at Lin Xiaoman again and strode towards the county government office.

Lin Xiaoman touched his nose innocently, "Have I offended her?"

The government servant who led the way smiled sarcastically. As an outsider, he could clearly see that this was clearly Xu Yuanru who regarded the adults as his target and Miss Xiao Man as his love rival. He just didn’t know what Miss Xiao Man thought about the adults.

Compared with Miss Xiaoman and Xu Yuanru, he prefers that adults marry Miss Xiaoman. Although she is from the countryside, she is good at cooking, and people in their county government can also benefit from it.

Besides, Miss Xiaoman’s business is booming, and no matter how bad she is, she is still richer than the exiled Xu Yuanru.

However, Xu Yuanru was exiled and had just arrived. Where did she get so much food? It turns out that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

But if his daughter used so much food to woo a man, he could break her legs.

Lin Xiaoman didn't know what the yamen servant was thinking. When she came to the kitchen, she took a look and found that she was quite satisfied with the things in the kitchen. At least she had everything she wanted. There was also a can of milk delivered in the morning on the table by the wall.

The yamen servant said it was for adults to drink.

Lin Xiaoman raised his eyebrows. This little adult really knows how to enjoy it. Not many people are willing to drink milk at this time. Only wealthy people drink milk, use milk to make food, and even use milk to take baths.

But looking at the size of this can, it’s definitely not possible to take a bath, it’s just for eating.

Lin Xiaoman has learned to make banana pie, and the dough needs to be processed in advance. Lin Xiaoman wants to make some banana muffins, which are much easier to make than banana pie.

Peel two bunches of plantains and mash them into a basin. Remove the seeds. Add eggs, milk, flour and sugar and stir together to form a paste. Let it sit for a while. Brush the pan with thin oil and spoon in the plantain paste.

In the pan, a spoonful of batter will form a round pancake. Fry both sides for about half a minute, and a soft and delicious banana muffin will be ready.

The yamen servant was standing by to help. In fact, he didn't need to do anything. He simply helped Lin Xiaoman watch the stove fire.

When Lu Jin and Qing Shu came over smelling the sweet smell, what they saw was Lin Xiaoman pouring batter into the pot with a spoon in one hand and flipping the formed waffles with a shovel in the other. His left and right hands cooperated perfectly. There were already several pancakes in the basin next to them.

Good cake.

As for the government servants squatting by the stove to light the fire, they didn't notice it at all.

"Miss Xiaoman, what are you cooking that tastes delicious?"

Lin Xiaoman heard Qingshu's voice, turned around and saw the master and servant, grinning, "Sir, brother Qingshu, I made some waffles with your bananas, do you want to try them?"
p>

"Yes!"

Surprisingly, this was said by Lu Jin.

After saying that, Lu Jin walked to the stove, took out a still warm waffle from the basin, tore it open in the middle, and ate half of it in one bite.

It's sweet and soft, with a hint of sourness from plantain. It's actually much better than eating plantain by mouth, especially since the seeds have been removed, making it easier to eat.

Qingshu also came over and took one to eat, not forgetting to ask the Yamen servant to eat too.

The yamen officer wanted to say that he had already eaten, and the whole pot that Miss Xiaoman cooked went into his stomach, but he did not dare to say it in front of the adults, not to mention the delicious muffins, who wouldn’t want to eat more of them?

pieces?

Seeing that they were eating happily, Lin Xiaoman listed several ways to make bananas: "Not only can bananas be used to make waffles, but they can also be used to make fried bananas, shredded bananas, banana cakes, banana yogurt... When I get some free time, I will make them all."

You eat."

Qingshu swallowed his saliva when he heard this, "But it's settled, Miss Xiaoman, don't lie to others."

"Okay, it's settled!" Lin Xiaoman is not afraid of cooking, but there are too many banana seeds here, making everything difficult to cook. It seems that if you want to do it, you have to secretly switch to bananas over there.

When Lin Xiaoman left, Lu Jin asked someone to pack all the bananas that he had delivered a few days ago. Anyway, it would be difficult to eat them here. Since Lin Xiaoman could make such delicacies, he could bring them back to her without wasting them.

.

After returning home, Lin Xiaoman began to raise seedlings.

At the beginning of the second month of the lunar calendar, it is already the middle of March over there, and it takes almost two months to raise seedlings. At this time, the corn and potatoes will be planted at the end of April. After the corn and potatoes are planted, eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes can be planted.

It's not enough for her to use two houses to raise seedlings. Lin Xiaoman has used all the available houses. She even used the houses of Fourth Grandma and Second Uncle's house after the roofs were repaired.

Come to raise seedlings.

But the seedlings here are just for show. You still have to go to the grain seed station over there to buy more.

She also wants to raise some pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. If anyone in the village is willing to raise them with her, she can help buy some seedlings from there.

Lu Jin asked the clerk to measure the wasteland for Lin Dajiao's family. Although the others did not come with him, the matter concerned Hedong Village. The clerk did not dare to measure the small acres after thinking about it. He measured a total of thirty acres of wasteland for Lin Dajiao. After the others left, Lin Dajiao

I measured it myself, and no matter how I measured it, it felt like it was 40 acres.

So he came to Lin Xiaoman in a hurry, "Xiaoman, you said that someone from the Yamen measured 30 acres of land for me. Why do I feel that the amount was too much?"

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "Isn't it bad if there are too many? Just don't make any noise."

Lin Dajiao nodded vigorously, guessing that the county magistrate gave her a large amount for Xu Qiuliang's sake, and she became more and more satisfied with Xu Qiuliang.

It's just that although the snow has melted, the ground has not yet thawed. If you want to open up wasteland, you have to wait for another half month.

With nothing to do, Lin Dajiao began to learn how to raise seedlings from Lin Xiaoman. There was no extra room in her house, so she simply gave up more than half of the kang, leaving only enough space for her to squeeze in and sleep, and she filled the rest of the space.

A large wooden frame was used to raise the seedlings.
