Chapter 246 Rectification of the Guard Team

Of the things sent from the village a few days ago, Jiang Yan only kept half of the bag of new rice with the shells removed, and the rest was packed neatly and sent to the private school in the village.

There were two old millstones on the floor of the threshing floor, and the two daughters-in-law carried half of the bag of grain and ground it into flour. The freshly harvested rice still had a strong aroma of rice, and it became even richer after being ground into flour.

Jiang Yan planned to make glutinous rice balls and wontons to eat. During this period, she was eating steamed buns and wontons almost every day, and every meal was a dinner. She was a little greedy for these soupy foods.

To make glutinous rice balls and wontons, the first thing is to make the fillings with flour. Jiang Yan’s cooking skills are average, but she is quite familiar with making wontons and glutinous rice balls. She used to eat these with her grandmother when she was a child. She poured half a basin of flour with her hands and feet.

While pouring water, she stirred the flour, and when it was almost ready, she started kneading it with her hands. Poking the dough was a laborious task. There were many people in the family, and the amount Jiang Yan made alone was not enough to eat. Fortunately, she had two daughters-in-law to help.

After the dough is formed, let it rest for a while. After it relaxes and wakes up, add some starch and continue kneading. Finally, place it on a sticky board and slowly spread it out until it is thick enough. Use chopsticks to cut out the squares and place them in place.

By repeating this process, the wonton wrappers are ready. The wonton fillings are made from minced meat and mustard greens. There is more meat and less vegetables. After cooking, it is served with a bowl of soul chili dipped in water. In this cold early winter, it is absolutely delicious and will make your tongue sing.

They all want to swallow it.

As for the glutinous rice balls, they are simple. Since there are no sesame seeds, Jiang Yan plans to make glutinous rice balls with caramel sugar and oily residue. Because the fillings are prepared in advance, just roll them into rounds and put them in the pot when cooking.

.

"Boss and the others will be back in a while. Xiaobei, please call your Uncle Wu and Uncle Sheng. We need their help during this period, otherwise it would be so fast." Jiang Yan was wrapping wontons while asking for help.

Lin Bei, who was making glutinous rice balls, spoke.

Since the Lin family started building a house, Lao Wu and Lin Yousheng have been immersed in the new house. They helped Lin Xi purchase materials and were busy inside and outside. They didn't even continue the soap business. They just wanted to put Jiang first.

The beautiful new house is built first.

"I know, Mom, I'll be there in a minute." Lin Bei nodded with a smile. He had changed a lot in the past few months. His whole body was like a bamboo shoot after being watered by the spring rain. He was climbing steadily, and he grew a head taller in the blink of an eye.

.

Nowadays, he is full of vitality and has a bright smile. His previously skinny body has gained a lot of weight. His height was almost the same as that of Lin Feng. Now he is so tall that he is far ahead of Lin Feng. Finally, he has this

It's what age should look like.

The wrapped wontons and glutinous rice balls were placed neatly on the dustpan. Because they were easy to cook, when Lin Dong and others came back, they could be boiled in boiling water until the belly turned over and then eaten.

As time passed, the cold wind outside the door blew and whistled, and the newly built door creaked as it was rubbed.

The early winter night fell quickly, and it didn't take long for the entire Linjia Village to be shrouded. Every household returned home early and sat next to the fire. The whole village was much quieter than before.

Jiang Yan packed two large bowls of wontons and dumplings and headed to the village chief's house. It was getting dark and she was a little afraid of the cats and dogs in the village, so she took Lin Bei and Lin Feng and went out with confidence.

Regarding the bandit refugees, it is still necessary to prepare in advance. The village's guard team has become lazy since the winter, and has basically been semi-disbanded.

"Village Chief, we need to make good arrangements for the village guard team." When they arrived at the village chief's house, Jiang Yan and the village chief were talking in the main room. Lin Bei and Lin Feng sent the things they brought to the kitchen to the village chief's wife.

.

The village chief and his family have just finished dinner. Thanks to Aunt Jiang, their family has been able to eat enough every day recently. Although they only eat brown rice, everyone in the family is full of belly.

"Xiao Jiang, just say whatever you think and I will definitely listen to you!"

The village chief has 100% trust in Jiang Yan. As long as she says, he will obey everything she says. She feels that everything Jiang Yan does is of great benefit to the village!

"You should have heard the rumors in the town recently. Refugees are fleeing and bandits are increasing. Although they won't come to Linjia Village now, every village in the ten miles away knows that our village has food.

When the cold winter comes, if there are more refugees, more people will fall prey to bandits. By then, those bandits will eat up all the remaining food in their hands, and I am worried that our village will be targeted by them."

Seeing Jiang Yan's serious face and extremely serious tone, the village chief couldn't help but feel worried. Regarding Aunt Jiang's words, he was convinced that Aunt Jiang's bandits would come to rob Lin's Village, and nine out of ten times they would come!

"Then...then what should we do? Didn't I say before that the county magistrate had already suppressed the bandits near Qianjin? Why are there still more?"

"As long as there are refugees and people fleeing famine, the bandits will not be able to suppress them all. We should take precautions and take precautions early, just in case."

Jiang Yan's face was dark and moved, her eyes darkened slightly, "After the late rice harvest, the village guard team has basically become idle. There are only two or three people wandering around during the day. This is not acceptable!"

The village chief's voice was tight, "I'm going to make arrangements right away so that everyone can add more people tomorrow and arrange for more patrols to go around the village every day!"

"This is not enough. Just in case, you ask the villagers to hide the food in two places. It is best to hide some in the cellar. The town has not been peaceful recently, so I ask everyone to buy new year's goods as soon as possible."

The village chief frowned: "It was almost this time in previous years. God was going to snow or rain. The village should really prepare early."

Jiang Yan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Unless it rains, at other times, the village's guard team will arrange several groups of people to take turns patrolling inside and outside the village for at least two hours every day, with groups of five people taking turns."

The village chief immediately affirmed that during this period, people from several nearby villages were always coming to their village for a stroll. If someone's relatives also said that many of the key points were unknown, now thinking about it, maybe those people

Not even bandits.

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out down the backs of the villagers.

Lin Ziyue, who had just entered the house, frowned when he heard the words and came over, "Aunt Jiang, Dad, will the villagers be reluctant? The guard team has not explained these days. They have also given everyone the wages they should pay, but there are still many people."

Being lazy and slipping."

The village chief turned his face aside, rolled up his sleeves and cursed angrily: "Those bastards! How dare you give me a slap in the face when you protect your village? If anyone dares to be lazy in the future, if I catch one, I'll smear his face with shit!"

Jiang Yan:......

The wages of the village guard team are not high. At first, the village collected food and distributed it to everyone. Later, when the village had money, it distributed money. However, because it was working for the public, the money given was not much.

After the harvest was completed and every household had food, many people no longer valued the small amount of money given by the village.
