Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 31

"You have to be careful, don't plant too densely, otherwise the vines will be everywhere, and they won't be able to absorb the nutrients they should. Also, you will have to sprinkle it with plant ash later."

"Okay, I heard that, you're the one who talks too much."

"Mom, I know you are the best, and I love you the most." Xiao Hua saw that Jing Niang was still working hard on a rainy day, and now her conscience found out, so she kept acting coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, go and see if grandma's things are ready? When it's ready, mother will go to your Aunt Wang's house to borrow some coir raincoats to pay homage to your grandpa."

"Okay, mother..." Xiaohua was very helpless, she had to borrow the coir raincoat, the coir raincoat had been drizzled all night, and at this moment, even the broken thatched cottage began to tick.None of the houses in the family are intact, and several houses are leaking. Because the family is poor and there are few bowls, let alone pick up things, they just let it drip.

It's just that the land at home is not sticky now, and Xiaohua is very upset when she sees it. This house is too poor and dilapidated. Yesterday's bamboo shoots haven't been processed yet, and now the firewood is almost wet, let alone cooking. What dried bamboo shoots.

Fortunately, the millet she experimented with has sprouted in the past two days, but what should I do next?I don't have an urn at home, it would be much easier if I had one.And what to do with the bamboo shoots, is it possible to wait for the air to dry?Now the house is wet everywhere, Xiaohua has no thoughts at all, looking at these is all kinds of annoying.

This guy started thinking about how to solve the current problem when his mother was reclaiming the land, and the more he thought about it, the more annoying he became.The chicken-and-egg pancake plan has failed, so what will replace it?

Looking at the bamboo shoots and millet, Xiaohua suddenly felt stressed.Maybe, maybe maybe, Aunt Wang's family will have urns, no matter what, their family's conditions are better than Xiaohua's, right?I hope I can borrow it, but if I can’t, I will go to the village chief’s cousin’s house to borrow it.

Xiao Hua thought about it, and then said to Jing Niang with a serious face: "Mom, don't we have any urns in our family? Who has urns, I want to borrow some."

"Where did our family get the money to buy urns? Those things are very expensive. A urn costs between 10 and 50 yuan. Of course, the small ones are cheaper. Even your cousin's house doesn't have many big ones." , there are a few small ones, but they are usually used to pickle cabbage and radishes."

marinated?That's right, Xiaohua's eyes lit up, why didn't he think that bamboo shoots can be made into hot and sour bamboo shoots.I think back when I was a freshman, because I came to study in the north from the south, I was not used to it, and I felt that everything was salty and tasteless.Once I found out that a restaurant’s fried shredded pork with shredded potatoes was delicious, so I ordered takeaway potato shredded pork rice bowl every day, and ate it for more than a year.Later, my best friend couldn't take it anymore, and said, "Can you eat it differently? Look, every time you make a call, the people in the store will know where it is from the sound. Anyone who wants this takeaway will not I need your address."

Because of this incident, I found another noodle restaurant, and found that there was a Guilin rice noodle restaurant that was good, and the hot and sour bamboo shoots were her favorite.When it was over, my best friend said, you eat that every day, do you know how unclean it is?No way, she loves bamboo shoots, so she learned how to make hot and sour bamboo shoot tips, which is the only sauerkraut she knows how to make.

It’s just that urns are needed to make hot and sour bamboo shoots. In addition to urns, peppers are also needed.Jing Niang and the others don't know if it's bland or something else, there's no pepper in the house.At this moment, Xiaohua is praying that their family has a bland taste, not that there is no chili in this place.

"Mother, when you go to borrow coir raincoats, can you borrow a few more urns for me? You see so many bamboo shoots in our house, I think the firewood in the kitchen is wet, and it's raining again today, so it's not easy to make dried bamboo shoots , let’s make hot and sour bamboo shoots, I know how to do that, but I just need urns, see if you can borrow a few more. It will take about half a month to a month, mother, look at this, Borrow as many as you can."

"Hey, this is not easy to borrow. You also know that it is expensive, so who would be willing to lend it?" Jing Niang looked at her daughter and sighed helplessly.

"Mom, how will we know if we don't try it? Besides, the eggs can't hatch now. In addition to the weather, and after it rains, there will be more bamboo shoots. You can't just throw away what you made yesterday, right? I can’t finish it. It’s not good to give away. If I give it away, everyone will go to pick it in the future, and our family will not make much money. Besides, if we make hot and sour bamboo shoots, others are not easy to learn. If the selling price is okay, we can buy it from the villagers in the future, so we don’t have to work hard by ourselves, mother, don’t you think so?”

"That's what I said, but what's going on now, isn't it still unclear? Besides, our village is poor, and few people have urns at home. I have to go to worship your grandfather in the afternoon, that sweet potato I also planted it according to the method you said. Mother will borrow the coir raincoat first, and then we can talk about other things." Xiaohua looked at her mother who seemed unwilling to say more, and said nothing.

"Okay then, it's just mother, you help me ask Aunt Wang and the village chief's cousin's house to see if they are willing. I want to let the village chief's cousin take me to the town at the end of the month. I want to try Try it, see if it works, mother, you just accept me this time."

"It's really up to you, okay, let me ask first, if you don't want to, let's leave this matter at this point, okay?" Jing Niang said if you don't agree, I will leave immediately, regardless of you.

"Okay, it's just mother, you'd better borrow the big urn, and lend me the small one to make millet."

"Coincidentally, you're the one who is talking."

Xiaohua looked at her current home, looked back at the house, and then looked outside, and couldn't help but sigh.Her room couldn't sleep at night, and so did her mother's room, the bed was all wet. Fortunately, her mother seemed to have guessed this situation a long time ago, so she helped her grandma's room with the quilt and everything.Her grandma's room is the only one in this family where half of the room is watertight.

Like her and her mother's room, it was dripping everywhere, and there was nothing to do, even the bed didn't know how much water dripped.When she got up in the morning, she was still puzzled when she saw her mother come to her room to hold the straw mat (the one under the bed) and the quilt.

It seems that as long as it rains, their family will have to sleep in her grandma's half of the room where there is no dripping water.Xiao Hua looked up at the sky again, she really wanted to say: Fuck you.

Here Jingniang went to Aunt Wang's house: "Sister-in-law Wang, I came to borrow some coir raincoats from you. I was delayed by something yesterday. I thought I would go to pay homage to Xiaohua's grandfather today. Unfortunately, it's raining. Our family only has this coir raincoat on me, hey..."

"It's okay, it's okay, the ones from the neighbors, we just finished the ones in the field today, and we don't have to go out for anything. You can take them. It just so happens that the grassy ones can be worn by Xiaohua. I'll just use mine for my aunt. There is also a piece that Xiaocao and the others used to wear when they were young, and it can also be worn by Xiaozhu." Aunt Wang was very enthusiastic and took out all the clothes that were suitable for Jingniang and the others at home.
