As dusk sets, the chickens, ducks, goose and puppies are still noisy in the yard.
While dinner was still being cooked in the pot, I heard the shouts of several children coming from the yard.
"Grandpa, grandma, are you back?"
Xing Rui heard the sound and put the last handful of firewood into the stove and walked out.
Seeing her godfather and godmother carrying a large basket of things into the yard, Xing Rui hurriedly walked over and took the things off her godmother's back.
With a fake look on his face, he said angrily,
"At such an old age, I have told you many times that if you want to make wild vegetables, you can come back in the morning. How are you guys? You can do it all day long. Don't you think your body needs it?"
"Girl,"
Lao Wangtou took the basket off his back with a happy expression and said,
"Guess what good stuff your godmother and I got today?"
"Grandpa, did you find wild duck eggs again?"
Little Duoduo cutely leaned forward and looked eagerly at Old Man Wang's basket covered with a layer of leaves.
"You know all about wild duck eggs, how come you pick up wild duck eggs every day?"
Xing Rui was about to ask what it was. At this time, Mrs. Wang saw three sheep and a little yellow dog in the yard.
Those who were bumping and jumping around in the courtyard couldn't help but be surprised.
"Girl, have you bought a sheep and a dog?"
"Grandma, grandma..."
Little Duoduohou anxiously ran to Mrs. Wang's side again, took her grandma's hand and said,
"My mother also bought a lot of chickens, ducks, and geese. Come and take a look.
They are all in the basket. Mom said they are too small to let them out to play. Look, they are so furry and fun."
"Doduo, slow down, grandma is tired."
Xing Rui smiled and walked towards Lao Wangtou.
"Daddy, what good thing did you get?"
Old Man Wang didn't say anything, he smiled at Xing Rui pretending to be mysterious, leaned over and grabbed the leaves from the layer of trees on the basket on his back.
Suddenly, a ball of white flowers appeared in Xing Rui's eyes.
Leaning over and taking a closer look, it looks like a blossoming white lotus. What is this?
"Silly boy, this is Lily, Lily!"
Oh, yes, Lily, Xing Rui suddenly thought of it.
I have eaten this thing myself, but the leaves were broken into pieces and dried, one by one.
At that time, I was still curious, how did Lily grow like this? So I searched the Internet specifically for this.
Most mature lilies have orange-red stamens, and the underground rhizomes are the lilies that can be used as medicine, and they seem to look like this.
"Daddy, did you meet Lily? And you got such a big basket!"
Xing Rui looked at her godfather in disbelief and asked.
Judging from the mud on his hands and the dirt on his trouser legs, you can tell that he and his godmother are sitting on the ground.
I can’t tell you how long it took to dig out these lilies.
"I'm lucky today. I saw a patch of water bracken. Just when I was about to pick it, your godmother saw a patch of beautiful lilies blooming in the woods from a distance.
I covered the old man and walked over to take a look. It's a big piece. Girl, this is good stuff. If you dry it and take it to the town, you can sell it for a good price."
"Well, you can't sell all the lilies that boost your energy. Keep some of them and make them into water for you and your godmother to drink. It's good for your health."
"We don't need to drink this kind of stuff, it's better to sell the money for food."
The honest Uncle Wang looked at the two little girls and said with a smile,
"I'm buying cakes and fruits for my two eldest granddaughters. Do they taste good?"
"Okay, godfather, you don't have to worry about money. If you really want to make money, then help me work. I can give you more than this."
Xing Rui suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his head, why didn't he ask his godfather and godmother to help him?
If there are still trustworthy people in this world, it is the godfather and godmother in front of me.
If you have the two of them to help you pack your cosmetics, it will go much faster.
"Wash your hands, wash your hands...I'm so hungry after eating."
Xing Rui looked towards the gate. The two men said they were going out to cut the grass. Why haven't they come back yet?
I scooped some warm water and took it outside, letting my godmother and godfather wash their hands thoroughly.
After washing their hands, they got some clean water for the two of them to wash their faces.
Rui asked them to sit in the room and wait for dinner.
"Weiwei, bring the water to your grandparents. They haven't drank much water all day. They must be thirsty. Go ahead."
"oh,"
Liang Weiwei delivered water to Old Man Wang and Mrs. Wang, and Xing Rui also opened the heavy wooden pot lid.
This wooden pot lid is not a whole piece because it is too heavy. The ancient people were also smart.
The entire pot lid was forcibly made to look like a door, which opens in two.
When simmering rice, put a layer of rag in the gap in the middle.
In this way, there will be no air leakage, and the steamed dry rice and cornmeal steamed buns will be more delicious.
At this time, Xing Rui opened half of the lid of the pot, and the heat rushed out all of a sudden.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. I've steamed a pot of tofu, cornmeal pancakes, and stewed a big pot of pork and bracken."
Little Duoduo was so anxious that she was circling behind Xing Rui.
"Duoduo, get up quickly. Mom has told me so many times not to stand behind her, or you may get burned.
Go to the gate and see if dad and eldest brother are back."
"Oh, Duoduo will go right away."
Little Duoduo took a few small steps away, turned around and moved her little feet...
Wearing the shoes brought back from Master Li's house, she ran outside.
Xing Rui and her godmother learned how to steam tofu. Cut the tofu, put it in a basin, and sprinkle it with some salt.
Put a spoonful of lard, and when you start the pot, sprinkle a layer of chopped green onion on top and that's it.
I didn't expect that such a simple ingredient would become delicious just by steaming it.
When she went to the village to buy soybean curd, Xing Rui went to the Ma Tofu Officer to tell her what she wanted.
At that time, Officer Ma Tofu was shocked and asked Xing Rui in disbelief,
"Silly girl, do you want to order soy milk for a month?"
Xing Rui nodded and asked him how much it would cost, and finally said that thirty cents a month would be enough.
Xing Rui couldn't believe it when she heard it. Thirty cents can buy a month's worth of soy milk, which is too cheap.
The whole family can drink soy milk for just one penny a day. Where can you find such a good thing!
But the tofu official was not out of kindness and gave Xing Rui a drink for free, because soy milk is
Not many people in the village recognized him, so he was basically thrown away for nothing.
No one in the village drinks soy milk. They all think it is just boiled water, tasteless and tasteless.
For example, those who sell fried food in town will give you a bowl of soy milk as a gift, or you can buy a bowl at a tofu stall for just one penny.
Official Ma Tofu thought that if he threw it away, it would be in vain. If he could earn an extra thirty cash a month, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
In this way, each of them negotiated a bargain, and Xing Rui left thirty cents, which would allow him to drink a bowl of soy milk every day.
