The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 95 Women also hold up half the sky

Lu Laosan sat at the stone table in the yard, poured two cups of wine from a half pot of wine, and was blown away by the autumn wind. Soon the door to the East Wing was opened, Feng Jian walked out, and sat down with his skirt lifted.

Lu Laosan didn't ask why he knew he was waiting, so he held the wine glass with both hands and handed it over.

Feng Jian took the wine glass silently, and Lu Laosan then took his own wine glass and said in a low voice, "Brother Feng, I will go back to the academy tomorrow. No matter what, I will definitely win the honor and protect the Lu family in the big exam next spring." But...before that, I implore Brother Feng to help me protect the Lu family and protect...my sister. Lu Qian is extremely grateful, and in his lifetime, whenever Brother Feng is asked to do anything, he will definitely be terrified and willing to do so."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly raised his hand to drink the wine in the glass, and turned to stare at Feng Jian.

Feng Jian raised her eyebrows, drank the wine in one gulp, and finally said, "I will protect Lu's family and Xiaomi, but not because of your entrustment."

Lu Qian got up and bowed to the end, "No matter what, Lu Qian thanked you first. I, Lu Qian, will repay Brother Feng's kindness to the Lu family. But if my sister...is wronged, I will not stand idly by."

After that, he turned and went back to the room.Leaving Feng Jian sitting alone, Lao Yang arrived at the stone table at some point, raised his hand and gently poured a glass of wine for his master, and asked in a low voice, "Master, is it time to go back to the capital?"

Feng Jian frowned, lowered her head and took a sip of her drink, "No hurry, wait a little longer."

"Young master, it's been almost a year since you came out. The old master doesn't urge you, so I'm afraid he's thinking about it. Look..."

"Wait another half a month, it's not too late to leave when there is news from Xuan Ming."

"Yes…"

Add water to the snow-white flour, scald half of it, keep half, knead it, wake it up, roll it into a skin, wrap it with cabbage, minced vermicelli, tofu, and minced meat. The stuffing is the most delicious tofu bun.

Xiaomi got up early in the morning and made three big pots of steamed buns. After the whole family got together at the dinner table and satiated, he put all the half-cold steamed stuffed buns into a bamboo basket lined with oiled paper for Gouzi back.

Lu Qian's carriage was loaded with many pots, jars, and packages, and he was about to set off for the academy again.

After leaving this time, it will be Chinese New Year when we come back again.Even when Boss Lu got married, he couldn't rush back.

Xiaomi was very reluctant to part with his brother, let Gao Ren jump around, and almost brought out all the food that could be taken away from the house, Liu Buqi and Cheng Ziheng both smiled happily.

Father Lu has always treated his son like a free gift when he buys something, and he has never cared about it, except that after telling his son to study well, he went into the house and continued to struggle with the pile of ancient books, and he didn't know why he worked so hard. …

Lu Qian is also used to it, talking and talking with his two elder brothers, especially Lu's second son, before finally hugging the girl who has lost a lot of weight due to illness.

"Little sister, don't be too tired, and don't wrong yourself, just write to me if you have anything to do."

"Okay, third brother, everyone in the family is here, how can you let me be wronged, don't worry."

Xiaomi's eyes were also red, even if he was reluctant to give up, he still wanted to send his brother on the road to his future.

In the fields under the mountain, villagers who did not go hunting in the mountains were helping Lu's family harvest buckwheat.

Although buckwheat is not eaten, it is always food, and it may be necessary to survive at critical moments.

The naughty children rested on this day, and the young ones carried baskets to help pick up wheat ears, while the old ones ran between the cellar and the flour mill, helping to carry potatoes or simply grind the mill.

Because it needs to be kept secret for the time being, there is no outsider in the powder workshop, almost all the women in the village are busy, and the heat is constantly escaping from the door, covering the middle of the mountain, which has a taste of a fairyland on earth.

As the carriage passed by, the villagers waved goodbye one after another.

It wasn't until the mountain pass that Lu Qian looked out the car window. Liu Buqi, who was biting a bun, couldn't help but said, "Old Xiongling is really a good place."

"That's right, if the family kicks me out again in the future, I might as well just come here."

Cheng Ziheng also responded, making Lu Qian laugh, "Okay, but you have to bring your own food, otherwise my food tank will be eaten up by you."

The dog who was driving the car had long been distressed, and after hearing this, he also complained, "The buns that the fourth lady brought to the young master will be eaten half before they go out."

Liu Buqi rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Stingy, I'll treat you to a banquet in the Xianghe Building when we get to the Academy."

"If you don't eat it, if Xianghelou is delicious, why do you still snatch our young master's noodles with meat sauce every time?"

Gouzi is a shrewd person, he is not willing to suffer, which made Cheng Ziheng and Lu Qian laugh.

Carrying laughter like this, the carriage rushed to the academy with the cool wind blowing oncoming...

Xiaomi sent her brother off, and she felt a little bit reluctant, but fortunately, Fenfang was not on the right track, and she often had things to deal with.

The sewing of a new batch of dolls was also being stepped up, and she was required to supervise and inspect them from time to time. After getting busy, they quickly got used to it.

It's not just her, the women on Laoxiong Ridge are very busy now.

Good at sewing, making dolls.Those who are not good at needlework can go to Fenfang.No matter how bad it is, you can also go to the grass shed to cook.

Always, compared to the men in the family, they are much busier.

Men see their daughters-in-law busy all day without touching the ground, rushing to get their wages home, and it is rare for men to feel a sense of crisis.

As a result, the beasts in the forest were unlucky again.

The hunters showed their housekeeping skills. Today you bring back a wild boar, tomorrow I will hunt a red fox, and the next day we will bring back a few snow wolves together.

It was like a competition, all the skins were sent to Lu's house first, and Xiaomi would keep them if needed, and send them to the city if they didn't need them.

Of course, everyone did not forget to catch live deer for Xiaomi.

Everyone gathered firewood with high flames, including Gao Ren, who has excellent martial arts, and Lu Erer, who has improved a lot in the first year of junior high school and is full of guilt.In the small deer farm circled outside the Lu family's courtyard, within a few days, more than [-] sika deer of various sizes gathered, each staring at the visitor innocently with big wet eyes. Going to see it.

Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, it is impossible to survive the winter like this.

Xiaomi went to find Old Master Feng, and asked him to help Zhang Luo build a deer farm. No matter who the old people in the village were, they would find two women who would help cut the grass and store it, take care of it on weekdays, and their wages were comparable to that of cooking at the foot of the mountain.

There is nothing to do in winter, especially the elderly, who hate long nights when they sleep. Naturally, they are happy when they have an errand. After the final discussion, they decided to take turns to be responsible.Of course, Xiaomi has never been short of their shredded tobacco, but no one thinks too much.

The naughty boys are also busy, but they still send a basket of mushroom soil to Lu's house every day, and put it in their mouths immediately after changing their snacks. They completely regard this job as a good way to beat teeth.

The buckwheat at the foot of the mountain happened to be harvested from the two acres of cabbage, radishes and green onions that were planted earlier, so they were cleaned up and sent to the cellar.Potatoes are consumed in huge amounts every day, and a lot of open space has been poured out long ago, enough to place these autumn vegetables.

In such busyness, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed in a hurry.

Every family in the village got two catties of mooncakes. The young daughters-in-law earned a lot of wages for the family, and millet was of great use, so they got a lot of face. Her mother's family, almost made the whole family look bright.

Needless to say, the Chen family gained a full eighteen catties, all of which were neatly and beautifully wrapped in oiled paper, and they could go straight away when they were put in a food box.

Shopkeeper Chen was overjoyed, and gave a copy of Jingdu to his son, and gave most of the rest to someone else.It actually set off a small climax in the city, because compared to the kind of pancakes bought in dim sum shops, it is so beautiful and delicious.

Soon, a shrewd dim sum shopkeeper came to Chen's house, and Chen's shopkeeper sent a letter to Xiaomi for inquiries.

Xiaomi was teaching Gao Ren a lesson. Most of the mooncakes were given out at home, and there were not many left. Gao Ren actually hid a batch somewhere, which made it difficult for everyone to enjoy the moon on the fifteenth night. Everyone, old and young, shared two pieces...

"Tell me, there is a limit to being greedy. If you really like to eat, just tell me. The oven hasn't been dismantled yet, so I'll bake it a few more times."

Gao Ren didn't reply, but his expression was a bit annoyed, his eyes kept searching the dark places inside and outside the yard, as if he wanted to find out those "black hands" who made him blamed...

Just at this time, the little boy from the Chen family arrived with a letter from shopkeeper Chen. Xiaomi served tea and snacks to the guests. After reading the letter, he glared at Gao Ren and said with a smile, "That's all right, the city is a bit busy." The Xin shop wants to buy mooncake recipes, if you want to eat them in the future, even if you don’t bake them at home, you can buy them in the city.”

Gao Ren curled his lips, "No matter how good the dim sum shop is, it's not as good as home."

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or a tacit understanding in the first day of the junior high school, but it's rare to nod in agreement with the words of "the enemy".

Hearing what Xiaomi said, the little guy knew it was over, so he laughed, "Miss Lu, you don't know, the mooncakes that our shopkeeper sent out were sought after by others, and even acquaintances came to ask for them. "

"It's just made by hand, it's nothing more than a novelty. There is too much icing in the mooncakes, and it's not good for the elderly to eat too much."

Xiaomi doesn't look very proud, but she doesn't plan to bake mooncakes to make money, and it would be nice to sell a recipe.

What's more, this incident reminded her that if fans and starch want to promote it, it will be difficult if there is no certain foreshadowing and publicity.

And it's definitely a good idea to send food.

After the little guy went back with a mooncake recipe smiling, Xiaomi took a pen and paper and was ready to write a recipe.

Gao Ren volunteered to help grind the ink, but it was a pity that his temper was unstable, and the ink splashed everywhere in a short while, almost staining Xiaomi's favorite ivory skirt.

Fortunately, after Feng Jian finished his work, he came in from the door, saw this and drove him out, and calmly took the ink stick.

Xiaomi looked up at him, and the corners of his eyes and brows were alive with a smile.

One of the two studied ink and laid paper, and the other worked hard to write, but they cooperated tacitly, and quickly wrote more than a dozen recipes.

After finishing the work, Xiaomi thumped his sore arm. He missed the quill pen from his previous life very much, and wanted to try it, but remembered that there was no goose at home, so he gave up.

"It just so happened that Uncle Guo sent a wild boar here yesterday. My eldest brother cleaned it up. There is no shortage of meat in the house. Let's cook all these dishes today so that the family will have a good meal."

"Okay."
