Juan Wang's Little Lady: Nongmen hunters work hard to plow the fields

Chapter 15 Is a Virtuous Person
With money in Su Lian's hands, the first thing that comes to mind is to buy rice, noodles and meat.During this period of time, she was starving. Although she used to go hungry and lose weight, it is two different things to have food and not to eat.

During the period of clear soup and little water, she went through all the delicious food in her previous life in her mind.Sometimes when I feel hungry and panic, I will carefully recall how the dish and the dessert were made.She didn't even know that she was proficient in eight major cuisines and Chinese and Western cooking methods.

It's really angry to make a poet, and hungry to make a chef.

Zhang Jianshan saw Su Lian carrying things bag by bag from the rice shop, the shop, the butcher shop, spending money like running water, and dissuaded him: "Lian'er, you have to be restrained when you buy things. Too much silver is not enough to spend."

But Su Lian laughed and said, "Brother Shan, this money is not saved, but earned. The more you spend, the more you can earn!"

Zhang Jianshan frowned and said, "What kind of fallacy is this?"

Su Lian smiled as she loaded the things into the hired ox cart: "Think about it, if we only eat one or two meters a day, five shi of rice will be enough for our family of three in a year, and one shi of rice is twenty Wenqian, that year will only cost one tael of silver, right?"

Zhang Jianshan thought for a while, and nodded with a look of uncertainty.

Su Lian said again: "So, you think that only one tael of silver a year is enough, so you won't try to make money again, right?"

Zhang Jianshan said honestly: "Probably so. But we will go hunting in the mountains and collect herbs."

Su Lian turned her head to look at this honest man, and smiled helplessly: "I spent one or two taels of silver today, so I will naturally find a way to get back two or two taels of silver. If I think of a way and work hard, I might get back three or four taels of silver." Two silver coins. Therefore, demand stimulates production, and the more you spend, the more motivated you are to earn more money!"

Zhang Jianshan shook his head and said, "It's all nonsense, I can't say no to you. Why do you buy so much pork?"

The most indispensable thing in Orion's house is meat.But the game meat on the mountain always has a strange taste, and Su Lian is somewhat uncomfortable with it.She didn't understand why those rich people in later generations preferred to hunt for wild game to eat, since domesticated animals were much more delicious.Humans domesticate pigs, chickens and sheep because pork, chicken, and mutton are delicious!
"Brother Jianshan, have you ever eaten dumplings? Wrap the full pork stuffing with thin dough, boil it in water, and make them chubby. Take a bite, and the fragrance will remain on your cheeks..."

Su Lian didn't move Zhang Jianshan, but talked about little Aji's saliva.Aji yelled: "Sister, I want to eat dumplings! I want to eat dumplings!"

Su Lian carried Aji into the car, and said with a smile: "Okay! My sister wants to eat ten, how many will Aji eat?"

"Aji wants to eat twenty!" Aji raised his head high.

"Your belly is going to burst!" Su Lian rubbed Aji's belly.

The child was still too small.A farmer's child does not see white rice and noodles all year round. Even if his father feeds him meat every day, a child with unbalanced nutrition cannot be raised well.

Seeing the tenderness in her eyes, Zhang Jianshan knew that she loved the child, so he didn't say anything more, and only helped carry the big and small bags to the car.

A sack by his feet was wet and heavy, Zhang Jianshan opened it and saw that it was half a bag of fat.

"Why do you buy so much fat?" Zhang Jianshan was confused by this little girl.

"Squeeze lard!" Su Lian said.

"Need so much lard? The whole family can't eat it all in a year!" Zhang Jianshan shook her head, she was still too fond of messing around with money, "We are farmers, we have to be diligent and thrifty in running the house. You are so extravagant..."

"Brother Jianshan, this is not only for food, but also for other great uses, so don't worry about it!" Su Lian interrupted him, "Besides, I earned this money, so I can spend it however I want flower, isn't it?"

The last sentence made Zhang Jianshan frown.Su Lian knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and said with a smile: "Lian'er won't spend money wrongly, this thing is really useful, so don't worry about it! Look, Aji is also very happy!"

Zhang Jianshan glanced at Aji.It was rare for the child to be so happy after taking a stroll back to the county town. He didn't want to bicker in front of the child, lest it spoil the child's interest.

Su Lian walked and bought all the way, and didn't stop until the entire ox cart was full.She only spent one or two taels of silver for all the shopping, and she was lamenting how cheap things were in ancient times, but seeing Zhang Jianshan turned his head away from her and said nothing, she seemed to be angry.

Su Lian recalled the events of the past two days, her brother's personality is undeniable, he is practical and reliable.Mother said that he might be from a famous family, but he just fell into peace.Judging by his good looks, maybe it's not groundless.It's just that I have been living in a poor country for a long time, and I am somewhat short of knowledge and ambition.How can a man of seven feet live in chaos?Seeing that he has good qualifications, Su Lian decided to cultivate him well, maybe he will be a good helper in the future.

There was not much to say on the way home, Su Lian and Aji sat on the bullock cart singing and laughing, having a great time.Zhang Jianshan's frown also eased a little.

It was already evening when I got home, smoke was rising from every house in the village, and every household was calling for lights.Su Lian asked Zhang Jianshan to watch over the child and cook by himself.On the way, she had already planned to make a delicious dumpling meal.Chop the fat and lean pork into fillings, mix with various condiments bought in the city, and mix with cabbage.Knead the dough until it is soft and firm, then divide it into balls and roll them into thin dumpling wrappers.

Aji was playing with his father, and was suddenly attracted by Su Lian's side. He moved a stool, stepped on it, and stood beside Su Lian to watch her make dumplings.

"Is Aji hungry?" Su Lian asked casually, but when she turned her head, she saw that the little boy's saliva was dripping onto the skirt of his clothes, almost spitting out.

"My sister will be fine soon, just wait a little longer, and eat a few more later." Su Lian speeded up making dumplings while beckoning her to Brother Jianshan to help boil the water.

After a stick of incense, the dumplings are finally in the pot.Aji had never seen such exquisite food, and he couldn't bear to blink his eyes when he saw the little fat people tumbling in the pot.

"Sister, today is not the new year, can I still eat white noodles and meat?" Aji asked blankly looking at the dumplings in the pot.

"Of course! As long as our family can eat it, why not eat it?" Su Lian smiled.

"However, Wang Ergou said that only officials' families can eat meat every day." Aji said quietly.

"Aji, look at my sister and your father, do we have less eyes or arms than the officials?" Su Lian asked.

Aggie shook his head.

Su Lian smiled and said: "That's it. They are all raised by their parents. They can eat them, so why can't we eat them?"
