Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Sisters Jiang Xiaoxiao and Chunmiao were busy in the yard. Chunmiao was responsible for cooking ice cream. Jiang Xiaoxiao and Chunya were responsible for beating eggs and whipping cream in an orderly manner.

At about 6 o'clock in the morning, Qiu Lianniang and several peasant women arrived at the door of the house.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at them one by one. These ladies had kind faces and seemed to be the taciturn type.

She had walked around the village a few times before and had a certain understanding of the villagers. These ladies were not the kind of people who gossiped or made irresponsible remarks behind their backs.

However, as for the final choice of helper, she still has to wait for her mother to come back to make a decision.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my mother hasn't come back yet. Please sit in the yard and wait for a while." Jiang Xiaoxiao took Chun Ya to the house and carried a few small stools out.

Qiu Lianniang also asked a few people to sit down and said, "Xiao Xiaoniang has gone to town and will be back around noon. Please wait a moment."

With that said, she asked Xiaoxiao to take care of these ladies, while she walked into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves and started cooking today's ice cream and ice cream.

Several women looked strange and fresh when they saw the ice cream cooked by Chun Miao in the yard.

"There must be a lot of eggs poured in. No wonder this ice cream is so expensive."

"This job looks easy, as long as you keep stirring in the pot..."

"But how can this stuff turn into ice-cold and delicious ice cream when it's sticky?"

Several women were discussing around the stove in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Chunya pulled Jiang Xiaoxiao to the side quietly and said in a low voice: "Sister Xiaoxiao, does it really matter? If they know the ice cream recipe..."

"It's okay, don't worry." Jiang Xiaoxiao shrugged indifferently.

So what if the villagers know the steps? Without ice, the ice cream will not take shape at all. Whether it is making ice cream or ice cream, the most important thing is the ice. On this hot day, people in this era cannot make ice out of thin air. .

Even in winter, with ice cubes, the ice cream they make cannot be sold.

On the other side, Jiang Wei had finished delivering the goods to the town and was rushing home in a bullock cart.

When she got off the oxcart at the end of the village, she didn't go straight home, but went to Li Zheng's house halfway.

"Uncle Liu, are you at home?"

It was already noon. Li Zheng had just returned from the fields. Li Zheng's wife was cooking in the yard.

When Li Zheng saw Jiang Wei, he couldn't help but said happily: "Ms. Xiaoxiao, let me tell you, the method of digging ditches you came up with is so useful. I went around the field ridge this morning, and the rice ears... The grains on the rice have begun to become plump. They used to feel shriveled. Everyone is saying that today's rice is better than previous years. When the autumn harvest comes, the people in the village will definitely have a good year... Everyone is grateful to you. Woolen cloth!"

Jiang Wei smiled: "Uncle Liu, I came to you today for something. Please help me ask the people who came to dig a well at my house last time if they are free. I would like to invite them to dig a cellar at home again."

"Dig a cellar?" Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "By the way, you are moving there now. There is no cellar at home yet, so you should find someone to dig a cellar."

Almost every household in the village has a cellar, for no other reason than to store the grain harvested every autumn. Otherwise, if the food is left outside, it will either go bad or be eaten by rats.

Although Jiang Wei's family does not have farmland yet, and there will be no food for this autumn harvest, it does not prevent the family from digging a cellar in advance and preparing it.

Just at this time, Liu Dagang came back from outside with a hoe. Li Zheng called to his youngest son and said, "Dagang, you can find a few people to go to Xiaoxiao's parents' house tomorrow to help dig a cellar."

"Okay!" Liu Dagang agreed wholeheartedly.

Jiang Wei added at the side: "My cellar is used to store the goods I sell. It is very urgently needed. Dagang, please find a few more people and I can pay you wages." "What kind of wages? It's just a matter of helping me." Liu Dagang She scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "Sister-in-law Jiang, you don't need to pay us, just give us a meal."

He was always thinking about the food at Jiang Xiaoxiao's house.

"We still have to pay wages." Jiang Wei shook his head, "The farming has been busy recently, and it will take a lot of time to dig this cellar. If we don't pay wages, what will happen?"

Liu Dagang thought about it. The crops in the fields also need people to take care of them. If it were different in the slack time before, there would definitely be people willing to come, but now it might not be possible. He nodded and said: "Okay, I will go call people today. I’ll go to your house tomorrow.”

Jiang Wei said goodbye to Li Zheng's house and walked towards his own home.

From a distance, she saw that there were many people in her yard. Everyone was gathered around the newly built stove in the yard. Some helped to light the fire, some helped to beat the eggs, and some kept stirring with long wooden spoons. There was sticky ice cream in the pot, and a few of them were digging soil in the backyard with Chun Miao, preparing to build a few new stoves.

This was the first time she had seen her yard so lively.

Jiang Wei strode into the yard. When the women saw her, they stopped what they were doing and stood obediently.

They knew in their hearts that whether they could stay and work in the end depended on Jiang Wei's wishes.

When Qiu Lianniang, who was busy in the kitchen, saw Jiang Wei come back, she quickly came out of the kitchen and said, "Xiao Xiaoniang, these are the people I found for you, do you think they are suitable?"

Jiang Wei slowly glanced at several people. Some of them were from Yuhe Village and some from neighboring villages. Although some of their faces were unfamiliar, they all looked quite honest.

After a while of observation, she found that these women were also diligent. She nodded with satisfaction: "It's quite suitable. Everyone, please stay."

Qiu Lianniang is reliable in her work, and she believes in Qiu Lianniang's vision.

Jiang Wei added: "From now on, you will come to my house at noon every day to help with the work. You will leave before dusk. No food will be provided. Each person will receive twenty copper coins per day."

After the words fell, several women showed incredible expressions.

Twenty cents for just half a day's work! ?

This is great!

You know, it only costs twenty-five cents for men to carry large bags at the town dock for a day, and the work is tiring, very tiring.

This task of making ice cream is easy and not difficult, as if it was given to me for free.

The women were very happy, fearing that such a good job would disappear, so they all worked very hard. The stove in the yard was not enough, so Jiang Xiaoxiao led a few people to the backyard to dig earth and move stones to build a stove.

Finally, seven or eight stoves, large and small, were built in the courtyard.

There were not enough pots at home, so Qiu Lianniang ran home again and asked her son Zhao Tiezhu to help carry two pots.

Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Wei gave a few more instructions on the precautions for cooking ice cream and ice cream.

Several peasant companies nodded and took note of it carefully.

Finally, Qiu Lianniang brought the pots from her house and lined them up neatly in the yard. Almost everyone had a pot, and everyone started to cook the ice cream and ice cream.

From a distance, it looks a bit like a small workshop.
