At this moment, Mrs. Lin Qin walked into the yard carrying farm tools. When she saw Lin Wanwan who was taking out the stove and planning to make breakfast for herself, she said repeatedly: "Mei Wan, don't be busy, let me do it."
She would come back at this time, and she had calculated the time to make breakfast. It was cool in the morning, and when it was dark, they would go to the fields to do farm work for a while, and then come back to make breakfast.
"Mei Wan, you still bring your own stove? Such a stove costs a lot of money. I heard that young ladies in the city love this thing most. It can be used as a small kitchen during spring and autumn outings." Lin
Mrs. Qin looked around Xingzao curiously for a while.
"Well, I think it's very convenient to cook."
Lin Wanwan bought something like this at the market in Wanghai Town.
The walking stove has a long history. The stove in Sun Bin's classic story about reducing the stove is a walking stove, one of the most convenient and easy-to-carry cooking utensils. Of course, the walking stove in the Tang Dynasty was improved and became more convenient and easier to use. The most down-to-earth poet
Bai Juyi once wrote a poem describing the stove: There is a stove on the bow of the boat, cooking rice and cooking red carp. When you are full, you will whirl and wash yourself with the water of the autumn river.
Mrs. Lin Qin looked at the stove with envy for a while. Such a stove cost at least four thousand dollars, and their family would have to go without food for six months.
Lin Wanwan put away the cooking stove, and then talked about Xiao Qingyu's illness last night.
Hearing that Xiao Qingyu had a fever last night, Lin Qin hurriedly took out an egg and was about to make a sugar-water egg for Xiao Qingyu.
She was stopped by Lin Wanwan: "Sister-in-law, there's no need to be busy. The little one is sick and delicate and doesn't like eggs. I've prepared some fruit for her. Just eat some sweets."
Mrs. Lin Qin couldn't help but said: "Hey, don't you want to eat eggs?"
The eggs were sold for a penny each. If Lin Wanwan hadn't saved Daya, Lin Qin would still be reluctant to take them out. Usually they were reluctant to eat them themselves, so they saved them all and sold them in the market to make money.
Lin Wanwan crammed in the knowledge of taking care of sick children last night. She knew that if the child has a fever, it is best to eat less eggs. Eggs have a higher protein content and higher caloric content, so she could only decline Lin Qin's kindness.
Lin Qin raised her eyes and saw the fruit on the dining table in the hall, and immediately said: "Okay, it's okay not to eat eggs. Then you wait, I will go to the patriarch's uncle's house to borrow a big rooster and let Xiao Yu'er hold it.
Get rid of disease."
After saying that, she left in a hurry. Lin Wanwan stretched out her hand and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
The medical treatment of Tang Dynasty is really eye-opening.
No wonder children are not included in the family tree before they are seven years old, and they are said to be very difficult to raise. With the level of medical care, can they be easily raised? Human cubs are already one of the most delicate cubs in nature, and they are raised in such a rough manner.
Those who can grow up smoothly are all kings with strong resistance.
When Mrs. Lin Qin came back holding the big rooster, Lin Wanwan did not deliberately object. She only said that if Xiao Yu'er started to feel hot again at night, she would let her hold the rooster. Of course, she had already left Lin's Manor after nightfall. She could not hold him or not.
This is our own business.
The breakfast cooked by Lin Qin is a pot of crispy rice that is a bit throaty, served with watercress soup. Watercress is actually a modern Chinese cabbage. The rice crispy rice is not made from pure white rice. It feels like there is bran or something else mixed in it.
It was hard to swallow anyway. Lin Wanwan only ate one piece and didn't move again.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the price of rice was actually kept very low by the government, but because the quantity was small and the people were poor, the first people to be supplied were urban residents.
Lin Qin could see the aristocratic nature of her cousin. She used to live in seclusion with the old immortal, but in fact she lived the life of an immortal.
Look at the silk and satin she is wearing, and the food she eats is probably delicacies, which are not something ordinary people can imagine. It seems that she will not live in Linjiazhuang, a remote place, for long. The patriarch uncle said that he would allocate a homestead for her.
, I'm afraid it will be in vain.
"Ah, Sister Wan, this is a big fragrant pear, right? Do you want the children to eat it raw? How about I cook it before eating it." Lin Qin was eating her rice cake while looking at a few children, and finally
I noticed the fragrant pears in the fruit plate.
The fragrant pears of the Tang Dynasty were eaten boiled. If someone ate them raw, the nobles would most likely complain with disdain: "Tian She Han".
"Eat it cooked?" Lin Wanwan was a little surprised. This was the first time she had heard of it, but she looked calm and said with a smile, "It's okay to eat it raw. My master likes to eat fragrant pears raw, so I'm used to it.
"
"Oh." Mrs. Lin Qin nodded. Although she still felt a little strange in her heart, she didn't say anything more. They are fishermen, and they are not so particular about it. Since the old gods are accustomed to nibbling pears, then she will not
After cooking, it's quite tiring to cut the firewood from the mountain, so save some.
After a simple breakfast, Lin Wanwan carried a bamboo basket with a few pears, followed yesterday's memory to Patriarch Lin's house, stood at the door of the courtyard and shouted: "Uncle Patriarch, are you busy?"
"We're done! How are you? Are you still used to staying at Meng Bo's house last night?" Patriarch Lin also just came back from farm work early in the morning and was washing his muddy feet in the corner of the yard.
Although their Linjiazhuang mainly makes a living by fishing, paying sea rent to the court and collecting taxes, they also reclaim some land on the hillside and grow some rice and vegetables for their own consumption. However, the fields are relatively barren and the harvest is not large.
Lin Wanwan said: "It's good. I have found a family and feel a sense of belonging."
Hearing this, Patriarch Lin laughed and said: "No! People still have to find their roots. Are you here this morning because of the foundation of your home?"
Lin Wanwan nodded: "I can't hide anything from my uncle."
Patriarch Lin put on his clogs and said cheerfully: "Let's go, I'll take you to have a look. To the east of Meng Bo's house is an empty stone field, which is of no use. Just build a house next to their house.
It’s better to have someone take care of you.”
Lin Wanwan naturally had no objection and kept the fragrant pears and the bamboo basket as a gift.
"What are you doing? It's such a good thing, just keep it and eat it yourself."
"No, Uncle Patriarch, I am happy for you."
In the end, Patriarch Lin couldn't resist Lin Wanwan and left the bamboo basket and fragrant pears, which made the family very happy. Although it was the season to eat fragrant pears, they couldn't bear to buy them at ordinary times. This was something only people in the town ate.
After following Patriarch Lin to see her homestead, Lin Wanwan thought for a while and then talked about Xiao Qingyu.
Patriarch Lin was shocked: "What did you say? Xiao Yu'er is not your real child, you picked her up? You said she belongs to our Lin Family Village?"
Lin Wanwan replied: "Yes, I met Xiao Yu'er as soon as I got off the mountain. She is so destined to me. Xiao Yu'er said that she has no father or mother. When I thought about it, this is not appropriate. Uncle Patriarch, what do you think?"
Patriarch Lin sighed and said: "No wonder Xiao Yuer always looks familiar to me. If nothing else, she belongs to Guofu's family. Half a month ago, Guofu's daughter-in-law went to the town to buy things and said she would take the children with her.
