Lin Xiaoman cooked two large bowls in one pot. He originally wanted to wait for the fish to be ready and ask him to send the other bowl with the fish to Xu Qiuliang and the others to try. But looking at him like this, he was afraid that he would eat it on the way.

After eating it all, I simply put it away and delivered the fish myself when the fish was ready.

When the fish was done, Lin Xiaoman put the leftovers on a plate and brought it to the table. He went to the pot to pick out a few steamed river crabs, brought a bowl of ginger vinegar water and put it in the basket, "Sir, you first

While you're eating, I'll go give some to Mr. and Erhu."

Lu Jin wanted to say that he would go too, but Lin Xiaoman had already walked out quickly.

Looking at the kitchen that had not been tidied up, Lu Jin walked in on a whim.

Lin Erhu saw the river crabs brought by Lin Xiaoman and happily circled the table, "Sister, how did you know I wanted to eat this? I saw it in the field a few days ago, and I thought I would have some free time in a few days.

I touched it in the river."

Xu Qiuliang, a foodie, was a little disgusted when he saw river crabs that looked like beetles, but he heard from Lin Erhu that he wanted to eat them, so they were probably delicious.

"This is not an adult who wants to eat fish. I brought a few fish in the fish bucket. I just remembered that there was such a delicious fish, so I caught a few more. I wanted to eat them later and went to the river to catch them."

"Yeah, sister, I also want to eat crab roe soup dumplings."

"Okay, I'll cook it for you in two days."

Lin Xiaoman thought about going to the river to catch some in the afternoon and send them to Aunt Qi.

At Aunt Qi's place, there are almost no wild river crabs to see, and some of them are artificially bred. The taste is not as good as the natural and wild ones here, not to mention that the mountains and water here are completely pollution-free.

source water.

In fact, it is not impossible for people to catch river crabs here and sell them there. No, the way to make money is easy to come by.

Before going out, Lin Erhu reminded the two people in the room not to be greedy for too much. Lin Erhu waved his hand and said that he had taken note of it.

When he returned home, he didn't see Lu Jin. Lin Xiaoman went to look outside the courtyard. Chen Xiaoshuan saw him and said, "My lord has gone to the river."

Lin Xiaoman guessed that he went to Lin Dashan to buy river crabs again. The food on the table was not touched, so he thought he would not be gone for too long, so he did not look for anyone.

Just entering the kitchen and seeing the clean basins and dishes, Lin Xiaoman raised his lips: Whether he wanted to show off or really wanted to share the burden for himself, in this era, there were not many men who could help share the housework.<

/p>

Not to mention Lu Jin's status, even in the village, there are many men who go home and sit there, looking like uncles. It is obvious that women also have to work in the fields.

Just looking at the bowls placed in the cupboard, I always feel like a few are missing.

Lin Xiaoman looked at the table and determined that two large ceramic bowls were missing, which she had just used to assemble the dishes.

After searching around, I finally found the remains of two pottery bowls in the corner of the door: were they broken and hidden?

But no matter what, his willingness to help with the work should not be dampened. It was just two bowls, so she just pretended not to see it.

Not long after, Lu Jin came back with two large buckets, each covered with a stone slab. From the gap between the stone slab and the bucket, you could see the crab claws sticking out.

"Why did we arrest so many people again?"

Lu Jin raised the corners of his lips, "Take it back and let Qingshu and the others steam it to taste it."

Lin Xiaoman saw that he still remembered his subordinates after finishing his meal, so he thought for a moment and said: "I'll put a can of hot pot ingredients for you, go back and chop up the river crabs and fry them."

Lu Jin's face just showed joy when he heard Lin Xiaoman say: "You have eaten too much today, so don't eat anymore."

Lu Jin reluctantly said "Oh" and followed Lin Xiaoman into the hospital.

There are two kinds of fish prepared in different ways and several dishes on the table in the yard, which makes people’s appetites itch just by looking at them.

Lu Jin loves to eat fish, especially sea fish. When he was in the capital, he would often have people rush to transport them from the sea. However, he ate very little river fish and always felt that they had an earthy smell.

But the fish Lin Xiaoman cooked, whether it was river fish or sea fish, was something he could never forget, but he couldn't always let Lin Xiaoman cook for him. When he was greedy, he always thought, why is he not Lin Erhu?<

/p>

But after getting along for a long time, I started to appreciate Lin Xiaoman's cooking skills, and gradually started to fall in love with Lin Xiaoman. Every time I see Lin Xiaoman, I feel good at the same time, and there seems to be something stirring in my chest.

When Xu Yuanru said that he and Lin Xiaoman were a couple when they were children, Lu Jin was in a particularly good mood and almost laughed out loud in front of Xu Yuanru.

When I think about being able to see Lin Xiaoman every day and eat her cooking three times a day, my life will be truly complete.

Lin Xiaoman didn't know what he was thinking. She just looked at the rippling smile on his face and felt that he was holding nothing back.

Outside the courtyard, some villagers who went up the mountain passed by. They looked in and saw Lu Jin and Lin Xiaoman eating together. The person who originally wanted to come in to say hello turned away on his toes. But what he was thinking was: God, a man and a woman alone.

, dining at the same table, Xiaoman wants to be the county magistrate’s wife?

As for whether it is a good match, people in the village don't think so, let alone who has a daughter who doesn't want to climb a high tree? In the past year, Lin Xiaoman's ability and the grain and vegetables he has produced, in the vast majority of the villagers

In their eyes, Lin Xiaoman is the little fairy in their hearts.

Isn't he just a county magistrate? The old patriarch said that Xiaoman's contribution of grain seeds was a good thing that benefited all the people, and he might even be rewarded by the court. Who knows, the little county magistrate would have to kowtow in front of her to say hello.

In the past few days, all the potatoes in the village have been harvested. Except for most of Lin Xiaoman’s potatoes, which were bought by Lu Jin and shipped to the capital, the potatoes in the village have long been taken away by the major restaurants that came to the village to buy vegetables.

Stir-fried potato shreds with chili, potato slices, stir-fried tomatoes with chili, potatoes stewed with chicken... After tomatoes and paprika became popular, potatoes also set off a craze in Qingping County, and the price has also gone up. A portion of stir-fried shredded potatoes with paprika can be sold for

A hundred coins are spent on just one potato.

A pound of potatoes costs 20 taels, and one acre of land yields almost 2,000 to 3,000 jins of potatoes. Even the family that grows the least potatoes in the village earns nearly 100 taels. Most villagers will not be able to save so much in their lifetime. Some

Some people kill pigs and sheep to celebrate their income, while some regret not growing more acres of potatoes.

Anyone who has eaten potatoes knows that potatoes are really hungry and can be eaten as food. Xiaoman said that as long as they are stored well, they can be eaten until the beginning of next spring.

For several days, as soon as Lin Xiaoman opened the courtyard door, she could see various wild products, eggs and duck eggs placed in front of the door, which were sent by the villagers to thank her for helping her family earn money.

Lin Xiaoman didn't know who gave them all, so he didn't even want to return them, so he simply accepted them all.

At this moment, an imperial edict came from the capital: The emperor was merciful and pardoned the Xu family's sins. Although they were not allowed to return to Beijing, they could live like the local people.

After receiving the news, the Xu family was grateful, and most of them went back, packed their luggage, and left. The only ones left in the village were Xu Qiuliang's brothers, and some who didn't have the ability to make a living outside.

The work of the brothers Xu Qiuliang is not as good as those who work in the fields all year round, and many of them are hired by other families in the village.

Having just received so many thank-you gifts from the villagers, Lin Xiaoman couldn't compete with the villagers for day labor, so why should he go to the city to hire people? But the autumn harvest was about to come, and there weren't many people left who could work in the city.
