Chapter 114 Rougamo, grinding beans

Zhou Cuihua and Li Yuanlang, the second son of Village Chief Li, said with a smile: "If you put it this way, the Yuan Qing family's younger brothers and sisters are really amazing. It has only taken a long time for them to speak the local dialect."

"Not only that, the business we negotiated with the Wu family's grain store was all negotiated by the Yuan Qing family, so we can sell it at such a high price without having to go to Baisha Town to sell it." Zhou Cuihua was grateful and hoped that her family would be grateful to Liu Pan.

Son, "We are opening up wasteland together. There are few adults in Yuanqing's family, but a few older children will also pick grass roots. In addition, Yuanqing's family also said that during the wasteland opening, she will pay for everyone's meals."

Zhou Cuihua's youngest son, Li Yuanqi, was surprised when he heard this, "Mom, is this true? Yuan Qing's sister-in-law provides food?"

"By the way, her family's food is better than ours, do you think she will give us a bad meal?" When Zhou Cuihua said this, she turned around and glared at her eldest daughter-in-law, her eyelids were shallow.

Yuanjia's wife smiled and did not continue.

The daughter-in-law in Yuen Long has been busy eating. Anyway, the father-in-law and mother-in-law are in charge of the family. Even if the father-in-law and mother-in-law can't be in charge, isn't there still grandma?

Anyway, it's not her second daughter-in-law's turn to make the decision. If she has this time, she might as well eat more vegetables and meat so that she can have the strength to work.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Next time I have to talk to Yuan Qing's family about making braised pig's feet with soybeans. I love that food."

The matter of jointly developing wasteland was thus settled.

Liu Pan'er couldn't work in the fields, so she made the dough the night before. She got up early the next day, put in alkaline water and started kneading the dough to make round cakes.

I filled the round cake with marinated water and cucumber shreds, made a whole basket, and also cooked a pot of thin rice porridge. I heard Zhou Cuihua and her family also got up, and said, "Auntie, I've made breakfast. Eat some."

If you go again, you can’t work on an empty stomach.”

During the land reclamation period, they had no food and could only eat vegetable dumplings.

Now that the conditions are good, Liu Paner will not let everyone go hungry and open up wasteland.

Zhou Cuihua carried a basket on her back, farm tools, a lot of water, and dry food from home, "No need for Yuan Qing's family, we also brought dry food."

Seeing that they didn't come, Liu Pan'er left a few pancakes and put the remaining meat pancakes in the basket. "Sister-in-law, aunt, and the village chief uncle may be embarrassed to come to our house for dinner. You can bring these with you."

, share it with everyone."

Mrs. Liu agreed, happily saying, "Don't worry, third brother and sister, I know it well."

Mrs. Liu brought water, cakes, farm tools, and several children and followed the village chief's house.

The same is true for the village chief's family. Their half-grown children also have to go to the fields, so Liu Pan'er didn't stop her children.

When encountering different environments, you must adapt to different environments, which is the best way to survive.

Liu Pan'er packed three prepared meat pancakes and delivered them to Mrs. Li herself. There were also an old man and two children at home. "Grandma, I'm here to deliver the pancakes to you. They've just been made."

Mrs. Li smiled and waved, "I'm not polite to you, so I'll take it."

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Grandma, don't be polite to me. When they come back in the morning, they must come to my house for dinner, otherwise I will be embarrassed to take over half of the wasteland."

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you." Mrs. Li agreed, "It's not yet dawn. You still have children at home, so hurry up and take a look."

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Grandma, I'll go back first. If anything happens, just ask the child to call me!"

Mrs. Li nodded, "Okay, don't worry!"

Liu Pan'er came back and started washing clothes in the big basin.

These are the clothes I changed out last night, and there are eight people in my family.

After washing the clothes, I saw that Li Xiaobao and Li Nan were still sleeping, so I locked the bamboo door from the outside and took the washed clothes to the river to clean them again.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and Liu Paner was the only one washing clothes by the river.

Fortunately it is summer and the water in the morning is not too cold.

When Liu Pan'er hung the washed clothes to dry on the rope, she heard Li Xiaobao and Li Nan lying beside the bamboo door calling her.

Liu Pan'er wiped her hands and ran over to open the lock, "It's still early, why don't you guys sleep a little longer?"

Li Nan shook his head and replied with a sweet voice: "Mom, I want to help you work!"

Liu Pan'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as long as the two children didn't cause trouble, they also had to help with the work.

However, this is a good intention and deserves encouragement, and Liu Paner cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the children.

Liu Pan'er smiled: "Okay, there's a broom there, you can sweep the door! Come back later and help me grind the beans together!"

Li Xiaobao took two brooms and gave one to his sister, and the two began to sweep the floor very seriously.

Their height is a little shorter than the broom, and they are working hard to sweep the floor.

The funny look made Liu Paner laugh.

Liu Pan'er lifted off the oilcloth covering the stone mill and cleaned it again with clean water.

After the two children finished sweeping the door, Liu Paner asked the two children to wash their hands and start eating breakfast.

The porridge in the pot was very thin, so Liu Pan'er fished out some rice and gave it to the children, and then ate the soft yeast flatbread and braised pork with the children with gusto.

As for the remaining rice soup in the pot, it would go rancid if kept for a long time. Liu Paner filled most of the pot and sent it directly to Mrs. Li and Aunt Li, so it could not be wasted.

After finishing the meal, Liu Paner brought over a basin of soaked beans.

Liu Pan'er sat on the stool, while Li Xiaobao and Li Nan stood on both sides.

Liu Paner pointed to the spoon in the basin, "Now you use the spoon to scoop the beans and pour them into the round holes on the stone mill. We are going to start grinding the beans."

Li Xiaobao, with his quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the spoon first, scooped out a spoonful of soaked soybeans, and poured it into the round hole on the stone mill, "Mom, is that so?"

Liu Pan'er nodded and praised, "Yes, that's it. Xiaobao did it right."

Li Nan pouted, unhappy, "Brother, you said you wanted to keep it from me, why did you take it from me?"

Liu Pan'er smiled, and while holding the handle of the stone mill, she began to slowly turn the stone mill, "Then each of you has two spoons, so you can all help me work."

Hearing this, Li Nan was happy and quickly urged, "Brother, hurry up. You just put in a spoonful. If you put another spoonful in, it will be my turn."

Li Xiaobao nodded, scooped another spoonful of soybeans, put it in the round hole, and handed the spoon to Li Nan.

Li Nan's hand was not as steady as Xiaobao's. The spoon shook and a few pellets fell on the ground. However, she did not rush to pick up the soybeans. Instead, after putting down two spoons, she returned the spoon to Li Xiaobao, "Brother, I pick up the soybeans."

, you help mother scoop the beans first."

Li Xiaobao agreed, "Okay, pick it up and wash it clean."

"Yeah." Li Nan obediently picked up the soybeans that fell on the ground, cleaned them, and put them back into the basin.

Liu Pan'er was very pleased to see that the two children could help each other and find appropriate solutions.
