The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 22 Stone-Grinded Tofu

Xu Zhixiang took the remaining 20 taels of silver from Su Xiaoye, wandered around the house for a long while, but couldn't find a place to hide the silver, and finally stuffed it into Su Xiaoye's hand, "Mother and Dad share a house, so it's hard to keep it anywhere. It was found out by your father. Your father usually doesn't go to your house, so you should keep it."

It is safer to put the money in her farm warehouse than anywhere, so Su Xiaoye took the money and went back to the house.

After collecting the money, I came out, only to realize that I didn't see Su Xiaocao and Su Lan when I came back, "Mother, where are Xiaocao and Lanlan?"

Xu Zhixiang smiled, "Those soldiers are repairing ponds nearby these days, saying they want to store water. Our house is close. That adult asked our family to cook three meals a day. They brought food and vegetables, and we will cook them for you." As long as it is familiar, I will give you fifty Wen a day, and Xiaocao and Lanlan are still washing pots and dishes over there at the moment."

Su Chang exclaimed: "This is much more than Dad's wages for repairing dams."

Xu Zhixiang also had a smug look on her face, "No, your sister told me not to let him repair the embankment, so who is to blame? But that's okay, since he's not at home, it's convenient for us to do things."

A few people laughed tacitly, it wasn't that they were guarding against Su Laosan in everything, they really knew Su Laosan too well, as long as he knew these family secrets, he would send everything to honor the Bai family.

Not long after, Su Xiaocao and Su Lan also came back, and saw Su Xiaoye flying over, hugging her waist and acting like a baby.

Su Xiaoye was used to being alone in her previous life, she enjoyed the feeling of being loved and cared by her family, and she really treated them all as family.

Each of them stuffed a piece of lotus flower cake in their hands, which made the two little guys reluctant to eat it, but they also knew that there was a good thing to hide and eat, so that others could not see it.

In the afternoon, I will go there again to prepare dinner for the soldiers.

Seeing Xu Zhixiang's tired face, knowing that she was weak, and she hadn't recovered from planting for a long time yesterday, Su Xiaoye asked her to go back to the house to rest, and leave the cooking to them.

Xu Zhixiang was also really uncomfortable, and after a few words of advice, she went back to the room and lay down.

Before going out, Su Xiaoye soaked some soybeans in a newly bought wooden basin. In the morning, she bought a small stone mill in Jishan county.

It's been a long time since I had a proper meal. I heard that there was tofu to eat at night. Su Xiaocao and Su Lan clapped their hands happily, and Su Ling and the others began to look forward to it.

There are more than 30 soldiers on Dabing's side, and they set up a tent near the water source, where they eat and live.

When Su Xiaoye and the others came over, a big hole had been dug next to the water source, and they said that it would be enough to dig another day, and then lay flat stone slabs underneath to store water in it.

In the future, these soldiers will also be stationed here to prevent people from stealing water or tampering with water sources.

Su Xiaoye was a little displeased after hearing this, is she planning to stay forever?

Their side is too close to their own home. If they want to stew a fish at home in the future, the smell will be blown over by the wind. It is not convenient to do things on weekdays.

But her little arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she could only hope that the drought would pass soon, and where did these soldiers come from.

The common people have no food to eat, and the soldiers have no food to eat either. Apart from all kinds of beans and rice noodles, there is also a jar of pickles that I don’t know when to pickle.

Su Xiaoye decided to stew a pot of rice and mix it with pickles, it was better than letting people eat it whole.The ingredients are limited, so try to make it as delicious as possible.
