Reborn farming life

Chapter 20 Three Flavored Melon Seeds
⊙﹏⊙b Khan, I can’t log in all the time, sorry, it’s a bit late~
A few days after the cellar was dug, the entire Li family was busy, afraid of attracting too many people's attention, Li Yu and Lian Er got up early every morning as soon as the sun was shining, and went up the mountain when there was no one outside. Dig some sweet potatoes, and when everyone is resting at home in the afternoon, Li Yu will dig again after putting Tuan Tuan to sleep.

Two people can dig up more than forty catties of sweet potatoes every day.In this way, it took eight days one after another to finally dig up all the sweet potatoes on the mountain. After that, Li Yu didn't dig any more, and he had to give the sweet potato field some time to rest, otherwise next year it would be impossible. The missing sweet potatoes were collected.

During these days when Li Yu's family was busy harvesting sweet potatoes, Liu Lanhua would occasionally bring her Bao'er to visit Li Yu's house. During this period, Tuantuan and Bao'er became friends. Holding hands and running around, seeing the more lively Tuantuan, Li Yu thought to himself, children should be with their peers!

The former Tuantuan was very sensible, which made Li Yu feel bad. The current Tuantuan would occasionally cause small troubles with Bao'er, and Li Yu didn't blame her too much. Of course, she had to teach what should be taught. She didn't want Tuantuan to become a little devil in the world. !
So when the two little friends make mistakes, Li Yu will patiently teach them what is right and what is wrong!When they are free, they will be taught to recognize some very simple characters.Liu Lanhua discovered that Li Yu taught Tuantuan and Bao'er to read, and her Bao'er became more sensible after playing with Tuantuan, and became more friendly to Li Yu's family.

After all, in such a small village, there are not many people who can read and write, and she doesn't expect her Bao'er to be admitted to some scholar's degree. If she can read a few words and count, that's enough.At least better than her and Zhang Carpenter who are blind!Of course, she didn't expect that after a long time, Bao'er, who was taught by Li Yu, would also achieve a great career. Of course, these are things for later.

After eight days of digging sweet potatoes, Li Yu felt that he was finally alive again.Although in the past eight days, Lian'er has done more than her, but Lian'er doesn't feel too tired, she is still full of energy every day.But what about Li Yu?After digging the sweet potatoes every day, Li Yu was stretched out on the bed and couldn't move.She felt that the bones and muscles of her whole body were clamoring, which made Li Yu very depressed, so Li Yu formulated a family fitness plan!We must improve the system of the whole family! (In fact, she is the only one who needs to improve...)
So in the days to come, if someone comes to Li's house early in the morning, they will be lucky enough to see the three people headed by Li Yu running around their yard...

This afternoon, Tuantuan and Bao'er were chasing the chick in the yard. Oh, no, it should be a big chicken. After more than a month of feeding, the chick had grown up. Li Yu reckoned it would be the Chinese New Year It's ready to be slaughtered and eaten... Thinking of spicy chicken, smoked chicken, and delicious chicken soup, Li Yu feels like his mouth is watering again.

Under Li Yu's staring stare like a hungry wolf, the chickens in the yard seemed to sense danger, and they huffed and flapped their wings away from Li Yu!Seeing the movements of these chickens, Li Yu burst out laughing, and suddenly felt that he was so powerful that he scared the chickens like this.

The sudden thumping of the chicken startled the two little friends, Tuantuan and Bao'er, and they ran towards Li Yu together with an "ah".Li Yu caught the two little meatballs that were flying towards him, and gently wiped their faces.At this time, Bao'er suddenly looked up at Li Yu and said in a milky voice, "Sister Yu, you, will you be Bao'er's wife?" After speaking, she blinked her big eyes and waited for Li Yu's answer.

Li Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha~haha~" Bao'er was very puzzled as to why Li Yu was laughing, but he felt that Li Yu was laughing at him, so he pouted in confusion Looking at Li Yu.Li Yu finally stopped laughing, pinched Bao'er's fleshy mouth, "Bao'er! Do you know what a daughter-in-law does?"

Bao'er bit her finger and thought for a while, "Yes, mother said, the daughter-in-law will cook for Bao'er, play with Bao'er, and put Bao'er to sleep. She is very good to Bao'er." People! Just like Sister Yu!"

After hearing Bao'er's daughter-in-law talk, Li Yu had only one feeling, what a daughter-in-law!Just a nanny!He reached out and patted Bao'er and Tuantuan's little buttocks, "Bao'er, I'm Bao'er's older sister, so I can't be Bao'er's daughter-in-law. When Bao'er grows up, there will be someone who is very good to Baoer I want to be Bao'er's daughter-in-law, so Bao'er should grow up quickly!"

Without waiting for Bao'er to ask any more questions after speaking, Li Yu brought two twigs and distributed them to Tuantuan and Bao'er. Write down the words that my sister taught yesterday, and my sister will cook delicious food for you, whoever writes well will be rewarded with more food! Go quickly!"

Hearing that there was something delicious, Tuantuan and Bao'er obediently went to write under the tree.Seeing this, Li Yu sighed again, "Children at this time are easy to coax, and they usually don't have any snacks to eat. Just a little promise can make them obedient. Do you want to say that children in this era are naive? What about the poverty of materials in this era?"

Shaking his head, Li Yu stopped thinking about it and went to the kitchen to fry melon seeds.That's right, the delicious food that Li Yu promised Tuantuan and Bao'er was stir-fried melon seeds!During the few days of digging the sweet potatoes, Li Yu and Lian Er would also find some sunflowers to collect melon seeds. After a few days, they found quite a few. Li Yu dried all the melon seeds and planned to fry them and sell them in the town. .

Li Yu is very short of money now, she wants to let Tuan Tuan and Lian Er live a good life, so she has been thinking about what she can do to make money, after much deliberation, she can't make glass glaze, but she can't make soap for bathing Ye, she has a lot more unique knowledge and insights than the people here, but many things cannot be done with the status quo of this society, and it is useless to rely on my own half-knowledge.

So Li Yu thought that he could open a snack shop first, and make some snacks that are not available here. This is still feasible, but to open a snack shop, he must go to the town. Just barely enough to fill my stomach.And the families in the town are relatively wealthy, there are many rich people, and there are businesses.

Li Yu felt that his family could live a well-to-do life with his skills, but there was a major premise for all these things, which was capital. Li Yu had inquired about the houses in the town, and the cheapest storefront on West Street was It costs 40 taels, while the one on East Street costs at least 80 taels. All the money of the Li family now is only [-] taels. It is not easy to buy a shop in the town!
In the kitchen, Li Yu planned to make three kinds of melon seeds: original melon seeds, salty melon seeds and five-spice melon seeds. Li Yu first found a piece of clean white cloth and sewed it into a small square bag, and put ginger slices, peppercorns, star anise, cumin, Seal with cinnamon and make a seasoning packet.

Then put the melon seeds into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water, put in the prepared seasoning packet and a small amount of salt, and start cooking. After cooking for about half an hour, Li Yuxun felt that the melon seeds were fully cooked, so he took them out. After the water is drained, put it on the door to dry until it is completely dry.

After finishing the spiced melon seeds, Li Yu planned to continue making salted melon seeds.Salted melon seeds are much simpler than spiced melon seeds. Li Yu first soaks the salt in boiling water and puts it aside. Pour it in, stir-fry again, and wait until the melon seeds and salt water are completely fried together, then take it out and put it in a small bamboo basket.

Looking at the fried salty melon seeds, Li Yu couldn't help but grabbed one and started to eat it. The melon seeds in his mouth had a slight salty taste, and the plump sunflower seeds after being chewed had a refreshing fragrance, which made Li Yu's mouth water again. I ate a handful.The last original melon seeds are even better.Just put the melon seeds into the pot and fry until they are cooked. The freshly fried melon seeds smell even more delicious~
Bring the fried melon seeds to the yard, and greet Tuantuan, Bao'er and Lian'er to sit under the tree together. "Come, come, come here, three laughing cats, there is something delicious, if you come late, there will be no more! Hehe~" Hearing that there is something delicious, the three friends who were raised by Li Yu as greedy cats ran past quickly Surround Li Yu.

Looking at the melon seeds on the small table, Lian Er picked up one first, "Hey! Miss, didn't we pick this one from that big flower?"

Li Yu looked at Lian'er with a smile, "Yes! That's the one! Lian'er was very hard to pick at the beginning, so I let you taste it first, like me, put the melon seeds in your mouth and gently crack open, and eat the kernels inside .” While talking, he picked up a demonstration to show Lian Er.

Seeing Li Yu's movements, Lian Er picked up one and put it in her mouth, she took the original flavor, when Lian Er ate the melon seeds tightly in her mouth, her eyes lit up, "Miss! This smells so good! It's delicious!" Li Yu was also very happy to see that Lian'er liked it, and grabbed a handful of salty and spiced ones for her, and Lian'er smiled happily when she ate them.

Tuantuan and Bao'er who were standing next to her saw that Sister Lian'er was eating so happily, so they didn't want to do it!Leaning on Li Yu's body, he yelled, "Tuantuan wants to eat too!", "Bao'er wants to eat too!" Looking at the two villains, Li Yu squinted his eyes and asked, "Have you finished writing the words my sister asked you to write?"

Tuantuan said first, "Okay, okay, Tuantuan and Bao'er are finished! Sister, look, look!" Then he pointed to the crooked "one, two, person" on the ground for Li Yu to see.Li Yu looked at it and praised the progress of the two children, so he and Lian'er held Tuantuan and Bao'er in their arms and ate them.

Seeing that Tuantuan and Bao'er kept staring at Li Yu and Lian'er's hands with bright eyes after they tasted the delicious food, they didn't turn their eyes away.Li Yu was amused by the sight, so he put the gnawed melon seeds near Tuan Tuan's mouth, and then delivered them to his own mouth when Tuan Tuan opened his mouth.Tuantuan was so anxious that she pursed her mouth and pulled Li Yu's hand and called, "Sister ~ sister ~ Tuantuan wants to eat!" Li Yu and Lian'er laughed out loud at the sample, and even Bao'er looked at Tuantuan with a smile.

While the family was happily enjoying the afternoon, Liu Lanhua called the door, "Sister Yu? Sister Yu? Open the door quickly, there are guests coming!"

guest?Li Yu's first thought was, who will come?

(Who will it be? Parents, guess~ Hey! Please vote!)
