Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 85
Ning Wan recognized Village Chief Hu and his wife as godfather and godmother. According to the custom of Sanjia Village, a hat should be made for the godfather and a pair of shoes for the godmother, and they should be presented when saluting.However, since Village Chief Hu wanted to hold a banquet with great fanfare to give the Ning family full face, the Ning family also increased the gifts for Village Chief Hu and his wife by [-]% and added four pieces of clothing.

Ning Wan sent the things up, Aunt Hu accepted them with a smile, and took out a few things from the side: a wooden bowl, a pair of wooden chopsticks, and a set of clothes to Ning Wan.The reason why the bowl is made of wood is a good omen that it will never be broken. Coupled with the clothes, it means ample food and clothing. This is also a common return gift in this area.

But the Ning family sent more clothes, how could the Hu family not add more?The Hu family also prepared a very exquisite longevity lock, with the words "Longevity for a Hundred Years" in the middle, surrounded by patterns of peaches, bats, flowers and plants, and a long chain of tassels hanging from the bottom. The silver key locked the Longevity Lock, and said in his mouth, "Longevity and longevity!"

When the baby recognizes the godmother, the godfather and godmother will give a long-lived lock, and lock the lock with their own hands, no matter whether it is the king of Hades or the little devil, they will never be able to take it away.But Ning Wan is already old, so there is no need for it, but the Hu family has prepared it, and it is a sterling silver long-life lock, which is very heavy, worth a few taels of silver.

Yu Shi hurriedly said from the side: "This is too expensive!"

Aunt Hu laughed and said, "Since Wan'er has become my goddaughter, it's not what she deserves! This long-lived lock Wan'er wears for a year and takes it off next year. It can keep her life safe!"

When Hu Ning and his family got married, there was no need to argue right and wrong in front of the villagers. How could such a good relationship between the two families be divorced?From the old lady to the Guo family, there are not many trustworthy people. Guo Xiaoyan is even more liar. People have been quietly discussing that the top beam of the Guo family is not upright and the bottom beam is crooked, and the women and children are not good. Naturally, it is the men and the elders who are at fault first.

After that, no one paid any attention to what Guo Xiaoyan said, Aunt Guo and Aunt Guo had no face in the village, only Mrs. Guo, she rarely went out on weekdays, and now she seemed to be completely ignorant of the outside world. According to Luo Shuang'er, she is still domineering at home, so Luo Shuang'er's life is getting more and more difficult.But the new house has been built, and according to Mr. Guo's previous promise, Guo Xiazhu and Luo Shuang will be separated before the end of the year at the latest, so Luo Shuang'er is still smiling every day, even though she is a little bit annoyed.

Since Ning Liang fell out with Mr. Guo, he refused to talk to him anymore, and he is very busy now.After the fall, he rested at home for a few days, and he couldn't rest anymore, "I have to go out tomorrow, otherwise what should I do if I can't deliver all the mountain goods at home?"

Although Yu Shi and Ning Wan still wanted to stop it for a few more days, Ning Liang was right. If these mountain goods could not be delivered to Hutai County a year ago, they would be in their hands. Instead of making money, they would lose money.So I had no choice but to agree, but said: "In the future, don't go out in the middle of the night to deliver the goods. After breakfast, go out from Hutai County and rest overnight in Lishu Village, and then return the next day, so we can rest assured."

Ning Liang fell this time, and didn't dare to be stubborn anymore, so he listened, "It's just that the days are short in winter, and when the days are long after the beginning of spring, I'll come back on the same day."

Ning Wan said: "It's good to rest at the big sister's house for a day in summer before coming back, so as not to be too tired when I come back that day."

Yu Shi laughed, "Your father just loves his family. No matter what he goes out, he has to rush back even in the middle of the night. It's the first time he agreed to spend the night with Xian'er!" She was holding a stone in her arms, Said that she was still joking her son to make him laugh, and she also smiled so that her brows widened.Dad also smiled and stretched out a finger for the stone to scratch, "Golden nest and silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest. I am at home!"

"Why don't we buy another donkey at home," Ning Wan calculated in her heart, "In this way, every time Dad goes to Hutai County, he can bring more than 100 kilograms of stuff, and he can carry it three times after two trips."

"No need," Ning Liang quickly waved his hand, "Didn't we already calculate that two donkeys are enough? To buy another donkey, the extra money is not counted, and the feed is also used every day, and we have to be idle in the first month." A month or two..."

The family's small business is naturally very delicate, more expenses means less profit, and what can be saved is still to be saved, so the plan to buy a donkey has not come to fruition.

Early the next morning, when Ning Liang and Yu Shi came together, they saw that Ning Wan was already busy in the kitchen, so they both said: "I promised to go out later today, so you got up early to cook."

Ning Wan smiled and said, "I'm thinking of making some fried cakes, we'll have them this morning, and I can bring some for my eldest sister and aunt."

Looking at the red beans boiled in the pot and the reconciled yellow rice noodles in the pot, Yu knew that Yaonu had made preparations last night, so she said: "You still want it, but I forgot. Your aunt and sister both love it." Eat fried cakes, but they don’t grow broomcorns.” After washing his hands, he added sugar and oil to the red beans, and pressed them hard with a spoon to make bean paste.

At this time, Ning Wan had already pulled the yellow rice noodles into small doses of similar size, picked one up and kneaded it into a ball, and then pressed it into a round skin, picked some bean filling with a wooden spoon and put it on the round skin, while rotating the round skin While pressing the stuffing in with a spoon, it will gradually wrap the stuffing, and finally put your hands together and press it lightly, and it will become a small round cake.

At this time, Yu Shi had already put oil in the pot to heat it up, and Ning Wan put the round cake into the oil, and the flat round cake slowly swelled up, and the surface turned golden yellow. Take the fence and fish it out.The two women made pancakes and fried them, and soon a big pot was fried.

Ning Wan made all the dough fillings into round cakes, then picked up a fried cake with chopsticks and brought it to Yu's mouth, "Mother, try it."

Yu shook his head, "Eat first, I'll wait a while."

Ning Wan stuffed the fried cake into her mother's mouth again, "Try a piece first, it's fine!"

Yu Shi had no choice but to open his mouth, took a bite, and said vaguely: "It tastes so delicious." Ning Wanzao took another one with her hand, and bit it down. The fried cake was hot, crispy on the outside, sticky inside. Soft and delicious, the red bean filling was sweet and moist, and I swallowed it despite the heat, "It's delicious!"

At this moment, Ning Liang came back carrying water, and Ning Wan hurriedly shouted, "Father, the fried cake is hot, hurry up and try one!"

Ning Liang just laughed, but refused to stand in the kitchen to eat, washed his hands and went into the house, "You guys do it first, I'll go and see the stone."

Shitou was actually asleep. After Carpenter Wang came, Ning Wan first asked him to help Shitou make a small rocking bed, put it on the kang, pushed the rocker lightly, and it started to shake. It couldn't be more useful.And with this shaker, the rocks can't climb out at all, so you don't have to worry even if Yu Shi is not around.So Yu laughed, "The stone hasn't woken up yet, so there's no need to look at it."

Ning Wan smiled at her father's back and said, "My father just misses stones, so I can't see you for a while!" Then she winked at her mother.

The mother and daughter laughed together.

In a short time, the meals are ready, the rice is fried cakes, steamed egg custard, salted pork and winter melon soup, radish sticks and pickles mixed with soy sauce, celery and coriander pickled in sauce jars.Because Ning Liang was going out today, he was richer than usual, so he sent another portion to Carpenter Wang and his son.

After Ning Liang finished eating, he put the mountain goods that had been packed into bags on the donkey's back. Ning Wan took out two more bundles, which wrapped the freshly made fried cakes in oil paper, and gave them to the elder sister and elder aunt.Although the fried cake is eaten when it is hot, it has a different taste when it is cold. If you don’t like to eat it cold, steam it in water again, and the fried cake will become softer and more glutinous. When you eat it, the yellow rice noodles can be pulled out and aged. long.

Previously, when Ning Liang went to Hutai County, he didn't stop at his sister and daughter's house, but he went there once or twice when he had something to do, but since then he left Hutai County to live in Lishu Village for one night, and came back the next day. , so that he doesn't have to travel at night, he can walk with peace of mind, and his family can rest assured.

This has another advantage, the two sides used to be far away, except for the New Year's festival, they rarely communicated with each other on weekdays, but now it is much more convenient, and the two sides often communicate with each other.In fact, what good things can a farmer have?They are just food, but they are all carefully prepared by each family, but they are also grateful to each other, and the closer they go, the closer they are.

On the other hand, at Ningqing in Mayi Town, because there is shopkeeper Liu who often comes to Sanjia Village, it is said that it is much more convenient to travel than Lishu Village. These two simple and honest people felt that Liu's family was different.Previously, if there was anything good in the family, as long as Ning Wan gave it to Lishu Village, Ning Liang and the Yu family had to give some to Ning Qing to keep. fell.

At this time, Carpenter Wang had been working for half a month, and needless to say, the small rocking cart had been in use for a long time; now there were standing cabinets, Eight Immortals tables and chairs, dressing tables, clothes hangers, washbasin stands, and a large bathtub. Half the room is full, everything is thick and strong, not a single nail is used, all mortise and tenon joints are used, and it is just the color of logs at the moment.

Looking at these beautiful wood grains, Ning Wan couldn't help praising: "I think this is very beautiful!"

Carpenter Wang laughed, "It's still too early to be handed over to work! First, the surface needs to be wiped clean and smoothed and painted a few times." Then he discussed with Ning Liang, "After the first coat of paint has been applied, I'll go over the rest of the paint first." I do homework for a few days, and after the paint is dry, I come back to paint it twice, and it takes more than three times in total to make the surface of the furniture shiny."

Xiao Liu also said with a smile: "I really don't want Sanjia Village to be so rich. There are several houses that want to buy cabinets and dressing tables like yours. Our work has already been scheduled until the twelfth lunar month."

Everyone laughed, "Where did we have this spare money before? It's not that this year the Ning family collected mountain goods, and we also made some small money, and now we are living a better life."

Just as we were talking, a few people from Hu’s Village came and admired the furniture in the house, “We also want to make some furniture like Ning’s, and please ask Carpenter Wang to finish the work here and come to our village.” go."

Carpenter Wang arranged the days for them, "I'm afraid I can't finish it in the twelfth lunar month, and the rest can only be done after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

The people in Hujia Village felt a little regretful, "We knew the news one step too late, so we waited until after the Spring Festival, but we won't be able to use new furniture during the Chinese New Year."

Carpenter Wang persuaded: "Except for the Ning family, it is not used in other houses. The paint is not so fast. After each time, it has to wait for it to dry, and finally it has to be scraped. It takes more time than beating furniture."

In this way, the people of Hujia Village felt relieved, "Next year will be next year, as long as we play well."
