Nongwomen's Spring

Chapter 138 Solved a Trouble (2)
As soon as Liu Jun finished speaking, the two little guys nodded vigorously, and at the same time cast a resentful look at Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian received three complaining eyes all at once, and couldn't stand it, so she raised her hands in surrender, and said to them in a flattering tone, "Okay, okay, you three, stop staring at me like I've done something heinous." It’s me, I’m wrong, okay, I’ll teach you how to eat now.”

"First of all, you take out the things you want to eat first, and then put them into one of the pots. Let me remind you in advance that one of the pots on both sides is spicy and the other is not spicy. You like to eat it. Whether it is spicy or not, you decide for yourself, when the food in the pot is fully cooked, you can pick it up, dip it in the sauce, and then you can put it in your mouth and eat it.” While explaining, Zhang Qian was hot She gave herself a green vegetable with special ingredients, and when she put it in her mouth, she almost bit herself off.

After listening to Zhang Qian's explanation, the two primary school students couldn't wait to pick up their favorite meat and put it in the hot pot without further ado. Xiao Ba and Xiao Yu like spicy food, so they put it in the hot pot. It's the hot pot ingredients.

After being scalded for a while, the three of them couldn't wait to pick up the meat they put in the pot, and with the seasoning on it, the three of them made a hissing sound while eating. The meat was so hot that it almost ate their tongue Give it a boil.

Xiao Ba, who was half full, spoke, his mouth was red and a little swollen because of the spicy food, the little guy looked a little cute like this.

"Sister Qian, let's eat this hot pot often in the future, I really like it." Xiao Ba picked up a piece of hot meat, dipped it in a little seasoning, put it in his mouth, took a few bites, and his mouth was full of red sauce. Colour, Lisp finished the sentence.

The other two who were eating, one big and one small, didn't say anything, but judging from the speed at which they ate meat, it was obvious that their opinions were the same as that of Xiao Ba, and they both liked to eat this hot pot.

After this day, there will often be scenes of playing hot pot at the dinner table of Xinliu's house.

Time soon came to the twelfth lunar month. Counting the time, Zhang Qian found that she had unknowingly stayed in this dynasty for more than half a year. Thinking about it, she felt a little unbelievable. On the contrary, I have become more and more used to the simple life here.

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the Laba Festival. Zhang Qian heard Liu Jun talk about the festivals here yesterday, and only then did she realize that the festivals here in Dasheng Dynasty are similar to modern times. There are also Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, etc. Happy holidays.

On Laba day, no matter whether the family has surplus money or not, every household will cook a pot of Laba porridge, which means that their lives will get better and better tomorrow.

What's more, the current Liujia Village is no longer the Liujia Village that was so poor half a year ago that every family couldn't get rid of it. Since Liu Jun and Zhang Qian opened this workshop in the village, half of the villagers have been working in this workshop. , the wages they receive every month are more than what the man of their family earns in the town for three months.

In the past, the women in this village had no status at all in the family. They were either reprimanded by the mother-in-law or beaten by the men in the family. Why? Because these women could not make money and relied on men to support them.

But now, the women in the village can support themselves for half a day. The money they earn in the workshop can be equivalent to their men's wages for three months. Since the workshop started, there has never been a picture of a man beating a woman in Liujia Village. .

In order to meet the occasion, Zhang Qian also cooked a large pot of Laba porridge. Not long after the cooking was done, a group of guests ushered in the house, and some women from the village came over with Laba porridge as gifts to her.

The head of the village is Liu Liushi, the daughter-in-law of Village Chief Liu. The current Liu Liushi is dressed in glamorous clothes, but she still maintains the pure servant that a rural person should have.

Since the last drought, her family has won the appreciation of the magistrate and some rewards. Now, their family can really hold their heads up in the entire Liujia Village.

Although their family was the head of the village in the past, how many people saw her in their eyes at that time, and none of them took him seriously.

But it's different now, when people in the village see her family, they are all shouting from the village chief on the left and the village chief on the right, and they are so happy that the one in her family laughs every day, saying that she wants her to thank Liu Junxiao Two bites.

No, taking advantage of the festive day of Laba today, Mrs. Liu brought the Laba porridge cooked at home, but she did not expect that the young couple Liu Jun was so popular in the village. Villagers who also want to come here to deliver Laba porridge.

"Sister-in-laws are here, please come in and have a seat." Seeing the seven or eight women at the door, each holding a bowl of Laba porridge, Zhang Qian's first reaction was that it was miserable. There are so many bowls of Laba porridge in their house. I have to eat Laba porridge as a meal for a few days.

The eight women greeted Zhang Qian with smiles, all of them seemed to be familiar with each other, and without Zhang Qian's greeting, they found a stool and sat down as soon as they came in.

Fortunately, Zhang Qian's family usually prepares more stools, otherwise the stools at home are really not enough for the eight of them to sit on.

"Liu Jun's daughter-in-law, this is the Laba porridge made by my family. Thanks to you, we have put a few more ingredients in this year's Laba Festival. No, to thank you, I brought you a bowl to taste Mrs. Liu Zhang, who lives at the foot of the mountain at the west entrance of Liujia Village, because the man in the family accidentally fell down during a job and broke his leg. Since then, the family's life has been very difficult.

Later, if Zhang Qian hadn't opened a workshop and invited Mrs. Liu Zhang to do it, I am afraid that at this time, their family would still be starving and freezing in those two dilapidated thatched huts.

Zhang Qian glanced at the Laba porridge handed over by Mrs. Liu Zhang, accepted it with a smile, and said sincerely, "Thank you sister-in-law Liu Zhang, then I will accept it unceremoniously."

Seeing that Zhang Qian had accepted Liu Zhang's Laba porridge, the others handed over the Laba porridge in their hands one by one. Immediately, Zhang Qian couldn't take it in. In the end, it was Liu Liu who saw that she was in a hurry and stood up to help. Do her a favor.

In a blink of an eye, the table in her home was filled with Laba porridge of various ingredients. It seems that sometimes being too popular in the village is something that people can't bear.

After sending away the group of Liu and Liu, it wasn't long before Xinliu's family welcomed people from Moyang Village to come for Laba porridge.

"Everyone, I really can't accept your Laba porridge. I appreciate your kindness. To be honest, you can see that the table in my hall is full of Laba porridge. Now I am worried about how to drink it up." What?" Zhang Qian looked at the Laba porridge brought by the women of Moyang Village at the door, there should be more than a hundred people in total.
