Zhou Cuihua replied: "Yes, the third aunt asked for sixteen taels of silver as a dowry gift, but the second sister-in-law asked her how much dowry she would give. Grandma Suozi finally agreed to a dowry gift of sixteen taels of silver, but no dowry. My second sister-in-law also agreed,

The marriage will be finalized today and will take place in three days. Lanhua, if you agree, come over to me and confirm the marriage under the witness of the elders."

Yu Lanhua didn't expect it to happen so soon, but when she thought of her annoying mother-in-law, she no longer wanted to live there, "Okay, Auntie, I'll go back with you."

They all knew the basics, and Yu Lanhua didn't think twice about it. Moreover, she asked Zhou Cuihua for help after careful consideration. There was no reason to be pretentious at this time.

Zhou Cuihua said as she walked: "My second sister-in-law is a very particular person. She secretly gave me two taels of silver just now and asked me to go to the county town tomorrow to buy red cloth for you to make clothes and shoes. I will marry you honorably and will not wrong you. Wulang said

With such looks and talents, don’t despise him and live a good life, your luck will be behind you!”

Yu Lanhua nodded, "I understand, Auntie."

When she was fleeing from famine, she went to pick wild vegetables and was almost insulted by men from another village. It was Li Wulang who drove those men away with a stick.

It was also at that time that Yu Lanhua felt that although Li Wulang was not tall, he was strong and had good character. If she married such a man, as long as she treated him well, Li Wulang would treat her well throughout her life.

Watching Yu Lanhua leave with Zhou Cuihua, Liu Pan'er could not return to her senses for a long time.

When Mrs. Liu saw this, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother and sister, what's wrong?"

Liu Pan'er calmed down and said, "Just... just like that, the marriage is done?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Second aunt is crazy about looking forward to her grandchildren. Now that she knows the truth, why are she waiting for her to marry her home? It just so happens that her family got a reward of fifteen taels of silver and gave her a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver. There is still some left over.

Five taels of silver is enough to buy a banquet."

Liu Pan'er shook her head and laughed, "What I'm saying is that you have to be able to do things economically."

However, this speed was so fast that Liu Paner was surprised.

Mrs. Yu went there for a while and came back half an hour later. She was a little embarrassed on her face. When faced with other people's teasing, she just smiled and continued working.

Liu Pan'er now has a flat piece of land, put fertilizer on it, and planted one acre of cabbage seeds and one acre of radish seeds. After they have grown about ten centimeters, they will be transplanted into the vegetable bed.

It will facilitate future management and save seeds.

When the time comes, people from the village will come to buy cabbage and radish seedlings from her. In this way, excellent varieties of Chinese cabbage, white radish, and carrots can be gradually promoted.

These excellent varieties not only taste good, but also have a particularly short growth cycle.

It's only August now, and the harvest will be in October. Then the fields will be ready for planting rapeseed. After harvesting rapeseed next year, it'll be just in time to plant sweet potatoes.

Dry fields can harvest three crops a year, and the benefits are considerable.

Zhou Cuihua believed in Liu Pan'er's seedling raising skills, so she decisively chose to get cabbage and radish seedlings from Liu Pan'er in the future.

When raising seedlings, base fertilizer is very important.

Liu Paner strictly followed the planting instructions. Although it was a little troublesome, the harvest was huge. All the efforts were worth it.

What Li Dashan admires most is Liu Pan'er. Now that he sees how much basal fertilizer Liu Pan'er uses, he keeps it in mind and doesn't dare to give Liu Pan'er blind orders. Because Liu Pan'er's methods are often better than those of him, an old farmer who is good at farming.

better.

Li Dashan said: "As for the Yuan Qing family, when the cabbage is harvested, it will be winter, and the land will be empty for cultivation."

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "Uncle Dashan, the temperature in the south is high, and radish and cabbage grow quickly. The harvest will be ready in October. By then, I will plant rapeseed, and the land will not be idle in winter."

"But if you keep planting and don't let the ground rest, over time, no good crops will grow in the ground." Li Dashan asked tentatively, if Liu Pan'er could find a way to refuse and harvest three crops a year, how great would it be?

ah!

"It didn't work before, but now with retting and more fertilizer, the land is still fertile." Liu Pan'er smiled and pointed to the fermented manure on the ground. The sweet potato seedlings were pressed underneath, as well as river mud, plus the family's old manure.

The manure contributed by the cattle every day, when mixed together and fermented, can become a good fertilizer.

Liu Paner will also raise pigs in the future, not only for the convenience of eating meat, but also to collect manure.

Li Dashan was dubious, so he kept it in mind and tried it later to see if it worked.

After two days, all the seeds were sown, and a thin layer of sand was sprinkled on top. Because the soil below was moist enough, no watering was needed.

Wait until it is older, or if it has not rained for a long time, then you need to water it.

Mrs. Yu and Liu Paner took leave, went to the town to buy red cloth, and made themselves a red dress to wear when they got married.

Of course Liu Pan'er agreed to give her a holiday, hoping that Yu Lanhua would be happy if she remarried.

It is really difficult for women in this era.

She is just a peasant woman now and is not yet capable of changing the status of women, but when she is capable in the future, she will definitely find a way.

In fact, Liu Pan'er didn't know that her strength and wisdom had subtly influenced many people. Yu was one of them, Zhou Cuihua, Liu...

In a blink of an eye, the wedding day of Yu and Li Wulang came, and the women in the village went to help.

Mrs. Liu is also known as a clever wife, and she also helps with washing and cooking. This is how people in the village do things, everyone comes to help.

Although there are more than 100 people in the village, there are a total of 19 families. Two people from each family went there, and Li Wulang's family held four banquets.

Li Dabao went to have a banquet on behalf of his family and followed the villagers. Seeing that Village Chief Li's family gave him a gift of 500 cash, Li Dabao also gave him 500 cash.

Li Dabao went to have a big banquet, and Liu Pan'er didn't want to treat her children badly at home.

This morning, Village Chief Li took people to buy ingredients for a banquet for Li Wulang and brought back three kilograms of mutton for Liu Pan'er.

Now Liu Pan'er finally has the opportunity to cook barbecue at home! Although she bought mutton a few times before, she didn't have time to cook it because she was busy.

The cumin has been ground into powder and exudes an attractive fragrance.

The red chili peppers are poured into chili sauce, salt and vinegar soy sauce are added, and it tastes pretty good.

There was no barbecue grill, so Liu Paner had an idea. He brought a few adobe bricks and built them into a barbecue grill, with red charcoal shoveled from the bottom of the pot in the middle.

Li Fang, Li Li and Li Rong were skewering meat on bamboo skewers. The bamboo skewers were made by Liu Pan'er himself. They were very long and thick and fit right on the rough barbecue grill.

The red charcoal fire is grilling the mutton skewers, making a sizzling sound, wrapped in an alluring aroma, wafting over.

Liu Pan'er used a small homemade brush dipped in oil and lightly brushed a thin layer of oil on the meat skewers. The mutton was marinated with salt in advance, so it was not difficult to grill it.

The mutton is local goat and has little odor. After roasting, it is fragrant.

When the mutton changes color and gradually matures, sprinkle cumin powder on it. Since there is no chili powder, but there is pre-made chili sauce, if you want it spicy, rub some on it.

The lamb kebabs sprinkled with cumin powder seem to have a soul, and the aroma is even more extraordinary, tempting people to salivate.
