Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 201 Wild Vegetable Buns
Mrs. Fang heard that Mrs. Lin was going to stay here for a while, so she said, "Sister-in-law, you are supposed to come, and I sincerely welcome you. But it will be spring plowing soon, and the family is very busy, so I really can't spare time to accompany my sister-in-law." Ah. I think my sister-in-law should wait for a while, come over after finishing the spring plowing, we can still have a good get together, I'm not kicking you out."

"I came here because I knew it was going to be spring plowing. Xiaotong is going to get married in the future. Is it possible that he can not do any work when he comes over? How can we raise a young lady in our farm family. When I come back this time, I want her to know, How do you live in a farm family? Besides, when the children are at home, they also have to work in the fields. The children’s grandfather is an old farmer, and the family still has land. In the past, the children also went back to help. You don't have to worry, I think let Xiaotong also go to the field, I will help you cook at home or something. You have to let the child learn, otherwise how will she know how to live this day?" Lin said a lot in one breath , nothing more than expressing that Xiaotong should be exposed to farm life more.

"Yes, auntie, don't worry, I'm not that spoiled person. If you have a job at home, just call me that. I like this kind of life." Xiaotong said with a blushing face.

"Okay, okay, since my sister-in-law agrees, let's live here for a while. Chunmei, help Mrs. Yue pack all the things to the East Wing. Let's put them there first," Fang looked at the situation. In terms of the situation, she said that the mother and daughter are no more than two, besides, she also wanted Xiaotong to have more contact with the life here.Dalang is the eldest son, and in the future, Dalang will be the outsider, and Xiaotong will have to hand over the inner house. If Xiaotong doesn't know anything about rural life, of course it won't work.

The Yue family brought two maids, and Chunmei helped move the things to the east chamber, and then the coachman went back.Whenever Lin's mother and daughter want to go back to town, Tong's family has plenty of cars to use.After everything was settled, Mrs. Lin led Xiaotong to make clothes for the baby in Mrs. Fang's stomach.There hasn't been much work in the past few days, so it's good to practice needlework first.The mother and daughter made several sets of small clothes in two days.

In April, spring plowing begins.Yun Song led people to farm all day long, leaving Yuxian, Fang Shi, Lin Shi, Xiaotong and two girls from the Yue family to cook at home.For the rest, even Mrs. Chen had to go up the mountain.This year, some more land has been developed, and with the addition of the land in the past few years, the total is [-] mu.If you don't rush to plant these lands, you really won't be able to plant them.

Fang couldn't work at home, and Yuxian was young, so Lin's mother and daughter sang the leading role.The two of them led the girls to do the cooking, and this Lin family was not a regular worker, and after a day, his waist could hardly stand upright.Xiaotong also experienced the feeling of busy farming. After a day, her legs felt straight.She is a resilient girl who wakes up early the next day and keeps going.This made Fang like it more and more.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wu knew that Tong's family was too busy, so she brought Bi Rong and the maids here, and all the land of Mrs. Wu's family was rented out, so she didn't have to work on farming.Although Bi Rong can't do much, she can still accompany Fang Shi, and the two of them chatter and chat.The maids brought by Bi Rong and the maids brought by Wu's all joined the ranks of the cooking army, and now the Lin's mother and daughter are considered lighter.

Every day after breakfast, Yuxian led Xiaotong and the maids at home to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.At this time, the big leaf celery is a good time, and there is nothing to eat at home. Of course, wild vegetables are the main ones.Seven or eight girls go into the mountains together and pick whatever they come across.Big leaf celery, Yaneryi, mountain millet, mountain spinach, monkey leg, Cantonese food, whatever you have, they are all delicious anyway.It won't take long, and everyone's carrying baskets will be almost the same.These back baskets were woven by Yunsong in winter, and they were prepared for Dalang and the others to go up the mountain to get things. Unexpectedly, these girls used them first.

At the beginning of Sishi, Yuxian looked at the sun and felt that it was getting late and it was time to go back.The pocket watch she bought was given to Erlang.Erlang studies all day long and has a watch to tell the time. "Sisters, it's time for us to go back. We have to cook later." After Yuxian finished speaking, she led the way out.They came to the mountain bought by Tong's family. It was very close to home, and there were no large animals, so it was very safe.The girls followed Yuxian and walked out of the forest together.

When I got home, it was natural to pick and wash the vegetables that should be picked, and it didn't take long to get all the vegetables ready.Yun Song had killed a pig before, just to prepare for spring plowing. The work was too tiring and he needed to eat better.All the meat is marinated, put in a large tank, and taken out when used.Everyone worked together and fried a lot of dishes.When the people who have been working in the fields come back, all the meals are ready, and they can eat after washing their hands.The members of the Huang family and the Chen family also ate together. At this time, save as much time as you can.Everyone wolfed down their lunch, rested for a while, and continued to work.

There was still a lot of food left, so Yuxian decided to make steamed buns in the afternoon.So put it on the top, cover it with a curtain, put it on the head of the kang, and it can be opened in the afternoon.I took out a lot of meat and chopped it directly, and there was no need to add salt, as there was enough salt in the meat.When the dough was opened, everyone started to make buns together. There were two boards in the house, and the boards from Huang's family were also brought in. Even Wu's, Fang's, and Bi Rong all started to make buns together.

"Well, actually what I want to eat the most is Da Yeqin's dumplings, but I'm so busy, how can I have the time to make dumplings?" Yu Xian said while working.

"You little guy is a foodie. I promise to make dumplings for you after we're done. This big Yeqin won't grow old for a while." Wu looked at Yuxian and said with a smile.

"Hee hee hee, I just love to eat." Yuxian smiled embarrassedly.Those girls also laughed at Yu Xian.

Bi Rong found it very amusing to see so many people busy, which she had never experienced in her life. "Yuxian, are the Dayeqin dumplings you mentioned delicious? Let's make some and try someday."

Lin also understood the relationship between Wu and Bi Rong in the past few days, and was very polite to Bi Rong.Bi Rong's experience made people feel sympathetic, so he answered the conversation on the sidelines: "Sister, this big leaf qin dumpling is something we must eat at this time of year, try this big leaf qin dumpling at night, it's very fresh. It’s even better to make dumplings, otherwise, let’s make some someday, it’s really a bit greedy when I talk about it. I can only eat it a few times a year at this time, and I don’t want to eat it at other times.”

Yuxian saw that what she said really attracted greedy people, so she pursed her lips and smiled.Seeing how small she was, Xiaotong stabbed Yuxian, "Look at you, you look like a little mouse, why are you laughing secretly?"

Yuxian shook her head, said nothing, and continued making buns.After all, there are more people and more strength, and it didn't take long for several buns covered with curtains to be wrapped.There are two maids who go to light the fire, and the main room and the wing rooms have to be lit, so there is no need to worry about burning the kang too hot.

When the first pot of steamed buns comes out, everyone has one, and there are not many left.After tasting the steamed stuffed buns, everyone said it was delicious, and then they looked at the few steamed buns left on the curtain, and everyone couldn't help laughing.Fang also laughed so hard that she was on the point of tears, it was so interesting, it was fun to have so many people.One after another, the steamed stuffed buns came out of the pan, and the smell of steamed stuffed buns filled the yard.

Xiaotong led someone to stir-fry some vegetables and stewed rice, she was afraid that the buns would not be enough.Sure enough, when the people who had been working in the field came back, when they came to the table, they saw the steamed stuffed buns, and they were all in a hurry.The girls brought the food again, so that they were full.After dinner, men and women divided into several groups and went to chat.There were all kinds of topics, and by the middle of the unitary hour, everyone was a little sleepy, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Huang Ying and Bai Lu also went to work in the fields, so Yuxian told them to go to bed quickly and leave her alone.Yuxian got some water, scrubbed briefly, and went to bed.Don't look at cooking, it is also very tiring, she is still young, doing these things is enough for her to choke.Lying on the kang, he became confused after a while.

The spring plowing has passed while everyone is busy. The Tong family's [-] mu of land this year is mostly corn and sorghum.These two have high yields and can be used in winemaking, of course, in a variety of varieties.All the fields opened this year are planted with soybeans, and the wasteland must be raised first.This year, millet, millet, etc. are not grown too much, which is enough for the family to eat.

The distiller's grains left over from brewing can be fed to pigs, and soybeans are used to make tofu, and the remaining bean dregs can also be fed to pigs, so there is no need to calculate the food for these livestock.Those animals on the mountain can eat grass and leaves in spring, summer and autumn, and just add a little less food. It is necessary to store more food in winter.Now on the mountain, there are already four black bears, eighteen deer, eight musk deer, more than a dozen sables, some raccoon dogs, and some foxes, all of which have been rebuilt.Like sables, they are still kept with iron nets.These things include vegetarian and omnivorous, and Yuxian provides feed according to their habits.At the same time, there are some medicines in the feed to prevent some diseases, so these guys grow up very fast.This is a long-term investment, and the scale of the animal population must be developed in order to have better benefits.When there is nothing to do in winter, Yun Song and the others will go into the forest to hunt some animals and come back, trying not to kill them or catch them alive, so that the animals will not be degraded due to their close relatives.

They have been busy with farming these days, and it was Yunsong and the others who got up early in the morning to cut some grass and twigs and piled them there.Feed once in the morning and again at noon, and come back from the field at night to feed the animals first.As for those who eat omnivores, Yuxian is in charge, and Yunsong and the others will take the feed with them in the morning.
