Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 20
Qingmei smiled at one of the better-dressed daughter-in-laws: "Sister-in-law Shen, I'm interrupting your dinner."

The third sister-in-law of Shen also laughed, and said: "What's the matter, I just finished eating." Then she turned to look at Fang, and asked, "Is this Miss Fang? In the morning, I read you."

Fang was still holding Luo Tiandu in his arms, so he pulled Luo Mingdu and Shen Sanniang to salute.

Qingmei introduced to Fang Shi again: "Sister-in-law Shen San is the cook brought by our old lady from the south. She has served the old lady for most of her life. If there is anything, sister-in-law Fang can tell her directly."

Fang thanked the two of them again.

After the two parties met, Shen Sanniang chased Qingmei away: "Don't worry, Miss Fang will be left to me, and you can go ahead and take care of the old lady."

Qingmei let out an "ah", and gave Fang a few more words of advice, then turned around and left.

Shen Sanniang saw that Luo Tiandu had been hugged by Fang Shi since he entered the door, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with this child? Is it uncomfortable?"

"It's the first time for a child to ride a carriage. I'm not used to it. I was bumped badly." In fact, Luo Tian's uncomfortable feeling of being bumped by the carriage has passed, and he is much more comfortable. It's just that Fang is worried about her and keeps pushing her. in my arms.

Shen Sanniang laughed out loud, she seemed to find it very funny, Luo Tian was a little embarrassed by her laughter, and twisted his body to get off Fang's body.

Shen Sanniang took them to the row of short houses on the left, and said: "During these days, the mansion is busy with adults repairing embankments, so we can only wrong Miss Fang and the two young ladies, and stay here for the time being. .”

Luo Tian glanced at the room, although it was a servant's room, there was a kang and a table, two and a half old quilts were rolled up on the kang, a curtain was hung on the door, it was kept very clean.

Fang put Luo Tiandu on the kang, touched her belly, and asked worriedly: "Are you feeling better? If you still don't feel well, mother will go to the street and invite a doctor for you."

Luo Tiandu shook his head and said, "I've been fine for a long time."

She's just a little hungry.

While talking, Shen Sanniang came again, holding a food box in her hand, and said while serving dishes on the table: "I guess you will arrive at noon, and you don't have time to eat, and I have reserved some for every dish. Let’s deal with it at noon first, let me know what you want to eat in the evening, so I can prepare it.”

Luo Tiandu saw that there was a plate of fried vegetables, a plate of steamed eggplant, a plate of potato stew, and six white flour steamed buns.

The family of three couldn't help swallowing their saliva.In the past at Luo's house, there were either pickled vegetables or boiled vegetables, without a little oil and water, and it was rare to see meat once a year.Luo Tiandu also liked to be vegetarian in the past, but after arriving here, he couldn't help eating so oily every day, and now seeing fried dishes, he couldn't help feeling a little greedy.

Shen Sanniang saw the expressions of the three of them, smiled secretly, brought out a large bowl of rice from the bottom of the food box, and said: "Eat slowly, I will come to find you after you finish eating."

Luo Tian's eyes lit up when he saw the bucket of rice.

That's rice!Dry rice cooked from authentic rice, not porridge.

It has been almost two years since she came to this world, and she hasn't eaten a single meal of rice. Every day, she just eats porridge, pickled vegetable porridge, and sorghum rice porridge. Feeling hungry again, she was so hungry for rice.

She first filled bowls full for Fang Shi and Luo Ming respectively, and finally put the rest into her own small bowls, and eagerly took a bite into her mouth, the unique soft and sweet taste of rice permeated instantly Come.

Seeing her greedy little face, Fang's eyes blushed secretly. Parents are incompetent, and the children cannot even eat enough.

Luo Tian seemed to have guessed what Fang was thinking, tiptoed, picked up a piece of rotten stewed fat, put it in Fang's bowl, and said, "Mother, you eat."

There is no feed these days, and pigs have to use grain to feed them. They grow slowly, and they are all lean meat, and the oil is not thick. On the contrary, fat meat is more precious than lean meat.

"Hey, you can eat too." Reassured by her, Fang also picked out two pieces of fat and thin, and handed them to her and Luo Mingdu's bowls.

A large plate of potato stew was actually mostly potatoes, and there were only a few pieces of meat, and the three of them divided each of them into two pieces, and they couldn't pick out any more.Luo Tiandu only ate one piece, and secretly put the other piece into Luo Mingdu's bowl.

Since she came here, she has been taken care of by Luo Mingdu, and she really likes this beautiful elder sister who doesn't talk much and protects her in everything.

Fang is an authentic native of the Northland, and he is not used to eating rice. Luo Tian loves it, so he gave her the other half of the untouched rice in his bowl, took a steamed bun, and put it in front of him. The green vegetables are eaten slowly.

The green vegetables are finely chopped garlic, stir-fried with soybean oil, and then out of the pan. It is very refreshing, and Luo Tiandu also likes to eat it.The eggplant is steamed when the rice is steamed. Put it in a bowl, add a few drops of sesame oil, sprinkle with salt and mix well. It smells very fragrant.

"Mother, this green vegetable is very delicious, let's grow some in the future."

"Okay, stepmother will ask someone to ask for some seeds and plant a ridge in the vegetable garden." After they separated, they had no land, but the two families could share the vegetable garden, and Fang agreed without thinking.

"Steam the eggplant, too."

"Okay, Mom will steam it for you when I get back." Fang scooped a large spoonful of stewed potatoes into her bowl, and beckoned to her, "Eat more."

Luo Tiandu has a small stomach, so no matter how greedy he is, he will be full after only eating half a bowl of rice.She put down the bowl, and concentrated on picking up vegetables for both Fang Shi and Luo Ming with a spoon, and squinted her eyes happily when she saw the two of them eating deliciously.

Luo Mingdu is older and does a lot of work on weekdays, and she can't get enough to eat all the year round. She took care of Luo Tiandu before and was busy picking up vegetables for her little sister. After she put a bowl, she let go of her stomach to eat stand up.Fang waited until the two children had finished eating, and then cleaned up the food on the table. She didn't want to waste it, and even dipped the steamed buns into the bottom of the last bowl of soup.

Three dishes, a big bowl of rice, and six big steamed buns were eaten cleanly. It was the first time for the three of them to eat so happily. Luo Mingdu looked at Luo Mingdu's stomach a little bulging , Let her have the urge to touch.

When Shen Sanniang came in to collect the bowls, she was also startled for a moment. She expected that the farmers did a lot of farm work and had a large appetite. She was afraid that if they left too little, it would be a joke that people would not be full, so she took the rice left by two adults and one child. Expecting that a woman and two children can actually eat cleanly, this amount of food is impressive.

She was afraid that the three of them were not full, so she asked, "Are you full? There are still steamed buns in the kitchen, so I'll go get them if I don't have enough."

Fang's face was reddened, and she said in embarrassment: "I'm already very full, I can't eat any more."

Luo Tian felt a little sad when he saw it. Fang has worked hard all his life, and he probably never had a full meal at home.

"Mother, big sister, I will work hard to earn money in the future, so that you can eat white flour steamed buns every day." Luo Tiandu raised his head and said.

She thought about it carefully, and felt that eating meat every day was a bit difficult, but it was still possible to eat white flour steamed buns every day.

Fang also laughed, and the embarrassment dissipated like the wind, and said: "Okay, mother will buy steamed buns for mother when I make money in the future."

After the meal, the three of them rested on the kang for a while, then Shen Sanniang lifted the curtain and came in to find Fang to make rice noodles.

"Sister Fang is a guest from afar, and I should have let you rest more, but since the young master came here, he doesn't have much appetite, even if you can eat some of the rice cocoons you made, you may have to work hard, Miss Fang." .”

"We country folks are not so particular about it. We sometimes go to work in the fields day and night when we are busy with farming." Fang was a little embarrassed because he had eaten too much before, and was trying to find some work to make himself feel at ease.

She is a real person, since she eats other people's meals, she wants to work hard for them, Shen Sanniang came to call her, which is exactly what she wanted.

Shen Sanniang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Fang will tell me what I need to prepare for making rice cocoons, so I can go down and make arrangements."

Fang frowned and thought for a while, and said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. This rice noodles was made by mistake when I was greedy. It couldn't be easier. First soak the broken rice in a basin and soak it. After two hours, grind it into rice milk, and then steam it."

Only then did Shen Sanniang realize that the rice cocoon was called rice noodles, she also smiled, and said: "So it's the little lady's credit."

Luo Tian was afraid that she would ask him why he came up with the idea of ​​making rice noodles, so he had to laugh dryly twice, admitting his gluttonous problem.

The broken rice had been soaked a long time ago, and there was a stone mill in the county government, but there was no stone mill, so Shen Sanniang asked someone to borrow a stone mill elsewhere.Not long after, four yamen servants came back with a stone mill and a shelf for the stone mill.

Mrs. Fang was used to doing farm work, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves and fetched water to wash the stone mill, Luo Tiandu and Luo Mingdu helped Mrs. Qing wash the stone mill, and Shen Sanniang went to wash the pot and tidy up the kitchen by herself. .

Mrs. Fang worked quickly, and after a short while, the stone mill was cleaned, put on the grinding rod, and then threw the rope on the grinding rod to the top, tied it to the beam, and in the blink of an eye, the stone mill was installed.

Luo Tiandu was the weakest, and the assigned work was the easiest. He moved a small stool and sat on the edge of the stone mill, and filled the holes of the stone mill with small spoons. Rice is ground into rice milk.

Halfway through the mill, Luo Tian found a small head poking out at the gate of the yard. When he saw someone looking at him, he hurriedly retracted his small head.

How can a child run around in the county government house? Could it be the legendary young master?Luo Tian turned his head and looked again.

As if frightened, that little head retracted quickly, so fast that Luo Tian could only see a pair of black and beautiful eyes.

Then scattered footsteps sounded from outside the yard, and Qingmei's gentle voice came over: "Oh, why did the young master come here? It made it hard for us to find it."

Then there was a tender voice calling softly: "Aunt Qingmei."

Sure enough, it was the Tang family's treasure, Mr. Liaotang.
