Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 253 Road Construction ([-])

Ah Er was shocked, snatched it from his mouth, carefully wiped the moisture on the eraser with his sleeve, and said angrily, "Brother, you want to eat everything. Do you know what this is? …Uh, a good thing that can write and erase, I saw the Xia Zhi girl in the inner courtyard use it, but it is a rare good thing.”

Ah Da stared wide-eyed, and rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, "I didn't want to eat it, just... just to try the taste."

Ah Er gave him a hard look, "It doesn't work if you try, I will take care of all these from now on."

Sorry, Ada, although he is a bit reluctant to part with the beautifully colored "long wooden sticks" and "small snacks", he can only agree.

Ah Er looked at the canal and found that the canal was almost clear, so he went back to the house and found Guo Huai, told the matter, and then took out his pencil and eraser, which made Guo Huai very happy. The big girl uses this kind of pen, it is very convenient to write, she has been envious for a long time, but she has never dared to ask Madam for a reward.I didn't expect to get a set today, so I found a small knife, carefully sharpened the tip of the pen, opened the book on my desk, and wrote a few words. Of course, he used the way of holding the brush, which was a little awkward, but, stick With his good writing foundation, his words are also very beautiful.Then I took the eraser and wiped it lightly, and immediately there was no trace left.

Only then did Ah Da know the purpose of the pencil and eraser, and he immediately became happy. You know, it is Ah Er who writes when he goes to the fields on weekdays. He was covered in ink.Now this "little wooden stick" can write without dipping ink, and it can be wiped off if it is wrong, which is really amazing.

He begged his younger brother, "I usually keep the pen and ink, so let me continue to keep the pen and ink in the future."

Ah Er glared at him, and refused without hesitation, "No, this pen and eraser are too small, what if I lose them on the ground, I'll keep them safe." Then he put the pen and eraser on the broken.

Guo Huai ignored the disputes between their brothers, and loved to walk around the house very much, trying to find a good place for the pair of treasures. Finally, he saw Ah Er in his arms, so he also decided to ask his wife to sew a purse for him, and then he nailed the book. Good book, it is convenient and safe to carry with you every day...

The days passed peacefully every day, and three or four days later, Guo Huai arranged for Brother Ah Da to take full charge of the care of the field, and then brought Mu Wu, Mu Ba and the rest of the people to start shopping for grain. The main thing is fine noodles, the vegetables are available in our own fields, and the pork is bought from the village. When the time comes, we will kill them and make them now. In short, everything is in preparation for road construction.

Lian Fu also called all the people in the village to hold a meeting in front of the ancestral hall, and determined the labor and helpers from each family, as well as the necessary tools such as carts, carts, heads, wicker baskets, etc.Several clan elders took turns to say a few words, emphasizing once again the benefits of this road to the village, and by the way, they also said that there are no rules, and there will be so many people from outside working together in the two villages, everyone should work hard If there are people who are passive, sabotage, or cause trouble for no reason, and lose the face of the village, they will be punished by the clan.

Everyone in the village, who doesn't go to the field with [-] acres of new vegetables every day, and doesn't care about anything else, just focus on these eggplants and beans that grow when they see it, they won't be lazy, then But it's all money, white money, if the vegetables are ruined because of the broken road or the road is muddy because of the rain, they will lose a lot of money.Therefore, everyone has spoken, and no one will be lazy, and they will also supervise the people in Gaojia Village not to be lazy.

The clan elder was very satisfied and let everyone go back.

On the second day, under the big willow trees at the head of the village, Lian Fu led a dozen people and busily set up a large canopy. The wooden poles were buried in the ground for support and covered with thick linoleum for protection and sun protection. a kind of shed.

Then, four large stoves were built with mud, and a large black iron pot was stuck on it. Two steamed buns and two stir-fried vegetables were enough to feed and drink 200 people.

The kitchen helpers drawn from the village are all smart and hard-working young daughters-in-law. They are led by Aunt Gui from the south of the village. Stop busy.Mu Wu and Mu Ba drove the carriage and stopped in front of the shed. Aunt Gui quickly put down the rag in her hand and greeted her with a smile, "Ah, Manager Wu is here."

Mu Wu smiled and cupped his hands, "Aunt Gui is busy, butler Guo sent me over to bring over the fine noodles, vegetable oil, coarse tea, and pots and bowls. Come along and count."

"Okay, okay, but I'm too old to know how to count, so I'll ask my daughter-in-law to come over and help." She called her daughter-in-law, who was newly married a few months ago, to come over, "Yueniang, you can read, follow five The steward counts, but remember, after the road is built, it will be sent back.”

Yueniang's family lives in Qingniuzhuang, seventy or eighty miles away. His father was literate and quick-witted. When she was young, she was very cute and cute. He worked as a clerk in the village, and his family had a few acres of land, so he was considered a wealthy household in the village.As soon as the rumors that Lijiacun was going to get rich came out, her father went to the city to find her elder brother, and when he came back, he dragged someone to be a matchmaker and married her. The dowry was also very generous. Knowing how to write and count, Aunt Gui gained some face in the neighborhood.No, with so many people gathered here today, Aunt Gui certainly couldn't let go of this good opportunity to show off.

Yueniang also lived up to her mother-in-law's high expectations. She counted 28 large clay pots, 52 sets of bowls and chopsticks, [-] tables, [-] benches, ten bags of fine noodles, and ten bags of grain noodles. Bags, two baskets of rough tea, one bag of mung beans, ten altars of vegetable oil.Mu Wu looked at the list in his hand and said with a smile, "Well, it's not bad at all. Aunt Gui is very lucky to marry such a virtuous and intelligent daughter-in-law."

Aunt Gui heard his praise, and the corners of Le'er's mouth almost went behind her ears. She was proud, but her mouth was still modest, "Where, where, I just know a few words." His daughter-in-law also blushed slightly In fact, she doesn't like to show off in front of people like this, but her mother-in-law likes it, and she can't resist.It made the young daughters-in-law of the same age in the village think that she liked to show off, which made them vulgar, so they vaguely excluded her.

Grandma Li saw several young daughter-in-laws winking at each other with envy and jealousy on their faces, so she came over, smiled and said, "Okay, Aunt Gui, don't be humble, no one in this village knows that your family married I made a good daughter-in-law." After finishing speaking, he looked at Mu Wu again, "The fifth steward just came back from the city?"

"No, I came from the mansion. Our wife ordered that these pots and bowls are meant to be used. If any sister-in-law accidentally breaks a few, you don't have to worry too much, as long as you don't hurt your hands and feet. "

Grandma Li quickly said, "Mrs. Xian is kind-hearted. My old lady's heart warmed up when she heard this. Don't worry, everyone is good at cooking, and their hands and feet are quick. Besides, no one would be willing to give up such a beautiful bowl." Break it."

These two hundred sets of bowls and chopsticks were placed when Mu Ai built the house. Although they are not as exquisite as the table bowls that were ordered later, they are at least made of porcelain, which is worse than the coarse porcelain or pottery bowls used by farmers. Some.

Aunt Gui asked, "Why hasn't the sister of the Guo family come here? Is the house busy?"

Mu Wu smiled and said, "Aunt Guo is ready for lunch, and should be able to come here in the afternoon. Tomorrow morning, pigs will be slaughtered and steamed buns will be prepared. All sisters and aunts are tired, so I will go back to work first." After saying goodbye, everyone drove back to their homes At the mansion, I reported it to Steward Guo, took the silver and went to the head of the village west to drive back the ordered fat pig, put it in a stable, starve it all night, and empty my stomach. It should be killed tomorrow morning. .

Except for looking at the account books every day, Mu Ai here is the same as usual, taking care of children, practicing martial arts, occasionally copying books, and eating fruits.At the moment, I don't think it's troublesome to build the road. Anyway, the people below have taken care of the troublesome and trivial things, especially since Mu Wu finished talking to him on the vernal equinox, he seemed to be beaten like a chicken blood, and he worked hard during the day Doing things, practicing calligraphy and reading at night, often only going to bed at midnight, and has become recognized by everyone in the house as the most hardworking person.

I had nothing to say all night, and when I got up early the next morning, the villagers got up early, simply drank some noodle soup and went to the shed at the head of the village.The men butchered the pigs, while the women moved out the big clay pots and dug out the dough that had been made last night. Aunt Guo picked up a piece and sniffed it. The acidity was just right. She reached out and grabbed the flour soda and put it in. The little daughter-in-law kneads the dough together and steams the steamed buns.The others followed Aunt Gui to choose vegetables and boil water.

By the time the men had removed the pig hair, removed the internal organs, kicked the heads apart, and divided the pork into strips of about two catties and placed them on the chopping board, the first pot of big steamed buns had been cooking for a quarter of an hour, and the shed was gradually full. It is noodle fragrance.Everyone praised Aunt Guo for her craftsmanship, and just by smelling the scent, they knew that the steamed buns must be delicious.

Aunt Guo said a few words of modesty with a smile on her face, and asked a younger student to pick out two thighbones and break them, and throw them together with a few pieces of fatty pork belly into the first cauldron on the left. The cauldron was half filled with water, and she Cut the onion and ginger, poured in half a bowl of grain wine, added two handfuls of salt, my wife is generous, their food is very good, she often makes this bone soup, so the method is very familiar, it is tightly covered Good pot cover, and then called two young daughters-in-law to light the fire, and then said, "Everyone has worked hard. Our wife said that a cook who starves himself is not a good cook, so everyone has been busy all morning. , drink two more bowls of broth at noon, eat a few more steamed buns, if you are full, you will be busy in the afternoon."

Large pieces of meat, big white steamed buns, some people don’t like to eat them. Although the villagers now have some money in their hands, they still seldom eat fine flour steamed buns due to their thrifty habits for many years. Today they have broth to drink, some The white steamed buns are enough to eat, no one is unhappy, they all smiled and agreed.The subordinates naturally worked more diligently.
