Sun Yuxiu usually knows how to cook. After making a pot of tofu, she learned quickly and almost became proficient. Yang Lina did not interfere in the whole process, and Sun Yuxiu completed it all by herself.
It was very hot standing next to the stove in the summer. Sun Yuxiu was wearing a suit made by Yang Lina. It was completely soaked at this moment. The sweat on both sides of her cheeks gathered at her chin, and fell one drop after another on the soles of Sun Yuxiu's feet.
No wonder my sister-in-law is so thin. The weather is so hot in summer and she has to keep moving while standing by the stove. It is really hard.
A pot of tofu was ready, Sun Yuxiu sat under the beam to enjoy the cool air, and Yang Lina took advantage of the fiery red sun to cut a pot of rose flowers.
The pink rose flowers look great in a pot.
"Sister-in-law, why did you cut the beautiful flowers?"
Sun Yuxiu was curious. The roses bloomed so vigorously, probably because the soil was rich in nutrients. They grew very fast and the flowers bloomed watery.
"It's useful. You'll know after a few days."
Yang Lina washed the petals with one hand, put them in a dustpan, and dried them in the yard.
The tofu business has been completely handed over to Sun Yuxiu. There is still half a bag of soybeans at home, and Yang Lina keeps it and plans to eat raw bean sprouts.
Before she could do it thoroughly, she wanted to take a few days' rest and think about one day calling Jingxuan to go to the county town for a walk to observe the market situation and see what kind of business would be suitable.
The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Yang Lina asked Li Jingming to go to the town and buy some peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, sesame seeds, etc.
Yang Lina fried them separately, then crushed them together, put some rose flowers pickled in white sugar, stirred them together and kneaded them into small balls to make snack fillings for later use. Then she dug two purple sweet potatoes in the yard and steamed them.
Made dough.
A total of more than twenty purple sweet potatoes were planted. Probably because of the wrong planting method, only half of them were alive. Yang Lina was reluctant to eat them and wanted to save them to make colorful snacks for the holidays. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, so she could dig two for use.
The dough is kneaded and fermented three times, rolled into small pieces of even size, rolled out into the pre-made fillings, wrapped, pressed gently and cut into five-petal flower shapes, and placed in the oven one by one.
A fire has been lit in the oven in advance, and the stone slab is heated to a certain level. Take out the firewood, put in the ingredients to be baked, and take it out after twenty minutes to ensure that the baked things are even more delicious than the electronic oven.
Yang Lina rolled out the remaining noodles and folded them back and forth. After folding them several times, she wrapped them and cut them into six pieces. She put them into a slightly hot oil pan and deep-fried them. They bloomed like lotus flowers in the pan, which was very beautiful.
.
The Li family's wheat was neatly packed. Li Jingming bought cabbage and radish seeds on the street and planted a patch of cabbage and radish in his own land to prepare vegetables for this winter.
When Li Jingming came back, Yang Lina was sitting at the table cutting oil paper. She planned to send some snacks back to Tian Li. She had many children in her family and it happened to be a holiday, so she sent some for the children to try.
Seeing the snacks placed on the chopping board, Li Jingming's eyes suddenly lit up. He wiped his hands on both sides of his clothes. He carefully picked up one and looked at it. His mouth cracked. He looked back at the person who was cutting the paper carefully, and then carefully
put it back.
The little daughter-in-law is so clever and clever that Li Jingming doesn't even know how to praise her in words.
"Okay, it's getting better and better."
The corners of Yang Lina's mouth curved, and her eyes looked at Li Jingming who was washing his hands with a smile.
"We'll make some rice dumplings later, and you can take some to Zhang Kai's house for your parents."
Another reason why Yang Lina takes care of Tian Li is that Zhang Kaifai and Li Jingming have a very good relationship. Zhang Kaifeng handles everything else well except for being confused about his own family affairs.
Moreover, since the last quarrel between the couple, Yang Lina has not seen Tian Li or visited Tian Li's house.
Li Jingming was cheerful, and thought of the word prodigal woman again in his mind, but it was good for the young daughter-in-law to want to have a good relationship with her neighbors.
When making rice dumplings, there were no rice dumpling leaves. Yang Lina peeled some corn husks in the cornfield, and the rice dumplings she made were just small dots.
It was already past two o'clock when the two of them finished their work. Li Jingming ate some snacks and rice dumplings, and his stomach was already full. On the other hand, Yang Lina slowly picked up a lotus pastry after finishing her work and brewed a cup of rose flowers.
I sat comfortably under the eaves and blew in the breeze, not forgetting to pick up Dream of Red Mansions in my hand.
When his eyes fell on the three words Luo Xiaoyan, his mood suddenly became a little bad. He pouted and glanced at Li Jingming with dissatisfaction.
"You seal this book yourself, or I will throw it away one day."
Disappointing.
Yang Lina angrily picked up the lotus cake and took a bite. The lotus cake was so crispy and crispy that a lot of it immediately fell on Yang Lina's T-shirt.
Li Jingming then remembered that Luo Xiaoyan bought the Four Great Classics as a gift to him, and of course he also gave Luo Xiaoyan a set in return.
Without saying a word, Li Jingming got up and went into the house to take out the other three books. When he came out, he picked up Dream of Red Mansions and went into the kitchen. When Yang Lina wasn't paying attention, he threw the book into the stove. Yang Lina smelled the smell of smoke and then realized it.
"Li Jingming, why are you burning books?"
Is this guy crazy? She just didn't want to see the word "Luo Xiaoyan". Why did she burn the book?
Yang Lina was really afraid that the book would be burned, so she picked up the iron hook and pulled the book out. The first two pages of Dream of Red Mansions happened to be burned, and Luo Xiaoyan's name was reduced to ashes.
Fortunately, the book was not burned, so I looked at Li Jingming with peace of mind.
"If you don't want to see it, just burn it, as long as you are happy."
Um, how did this man become such a savage and rough man now that he had read a book?
Yang Lina couldn't help but burst out laughing and wiped the book carefully.
"I didn't dislike the book, I just didn't like the name. Of course, I didn't think about it, I just didn't want to think about what happened that day.
That’s all, you should put it away quickly, this is just a thought after all, so keep it.”
Yang Lina stuffed the book into Li Jingming's arms, yawned, ate the lotus cake in several bites, drank tea made from rose flowers, climbed into bed and fell asleep.
In her last life, she chose to go to the small village where her grandparents lived from the bustling city. Didn't she just want to live a small life in the breeze and drizzle, riding horses and looking for flowers? This is such a small life now, but it seems that there is something missing.
As for what's wrong, Yang Lina hasn't figured it out yet, she just wants to live her life well now.
Yang Lina woke up from her sleep because of the smell of the food. She ate two lotus cakes at noon, and her stomach was already growling with hunger.
Li Jingming saw that Yang Lina was working hard and had injured her hand a few days ago. In addition, she was getting thinner and thinner. He was afraid of malnutrition, so he killed a black-bone chicken and made soup.
There are also some wild shiitake mushrooms that were dried last year in the soup. The chicken soup is now stewed milky white and full of aroma.
Li Jingming steamed rice, fried tomatoes and scrambled eggs, and mixed a plate of cucumbers. He was about to wake up the people on the bed. When he turned around, Yang Lina stood at the door of the kitchen with sleepy eyes.
