Reborn farming life

Chapter 23 Candied Sweet Potatoes
After what happened last night, Li Yu felt that he had to make money quickly, and when he had enough money, he would buy a house in a safer place in the town.It seems that I have to go to the town as soon as possible to find out if there is a suitable shop that can be replaced to open a snack shop.

Early in the morning, just after Li Yu's family had dinner, Carpenter Zhang came to the house with the finished stone mill and building blocks.Li Yu saw that carpenter Zhang had finished the stone mill and building blocks, so he hurriedly greeted him warmly, "Uncle Zhang, it's all done!" Carpenter Zhang asked with a smile, "Yes! I finished it last night, today's work will be done today." I brought it to you early in the morning, Sister Yu, where do you think you put this stone mill?" "Just put it under the tree, please trouble Uncle Zhang." Li Yu helped carpenter Zhang move the stone mill under the tree and put it away. "Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you, this stone mill is really well made, and there are building blocks, the edges and corners are smooth, it can be seen that you really put your heart into it!"

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, it should be, I don't even know how to thank you for saving our Bao'er. Such a trivial matter is nothing." Carpenter Zhang had a naive smile on his face, and rubbed his hands cautiously. Li Yu said. "Sister Yu, I have delivered the things, and I have to go back to work, so I will leave if I have nothing to do."

Seeing that Carpenter Zhang was about to leave, Li Yu hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhang, wait a moment, I'll go get something." Seeing Carpenter Zhang enter the house, Carpenter Zhang stood in the yard and waited. String money and three paper bags come out.Li Yu handed the money and the paper package to Carpenter Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, this is three hundred Wen as a reward for you, and these three packages of melon seeds are for Bao'er, but you can't eat too much in a day. Otherwise it will get angry, you take it."

Carpenter Zhang pushed the money back to Li Yu, "Sister Yu, Uncle Zhang can't ask for this money. You saved Uncle Zhang's life by saving Bao'er. Uncle Zhang did such a thing for you, how could you accept it?" What about the money? Aren’t you slapping Uncle Zhang in the face? No, no, take the money back quickly.” Carpenter Zhang refused to accept Li Yu’s money no matter what.

Finally, he said that if Li Yu insisted on giving the money, the two families would stop communicating with each other in the future. Li Yu had no choice but to take the money back. Then Carpenter Zhang happily took the melon seeds and left. Li Yu looked at Carpenter Zhang. With a smile on his face and heart, the people in the village are really simple, and Li Yu feels it is really a blessing to associate with such people.

After Carpenter Zhang left, Li Yuxian and Lian Er washed the stone mill with well water several times. Li Yu patted the stone mill with satisfaction, thinking that he could finally make soybean milk.

Wash the soybeans bought last time and soak them in clean water.Thinking of the pile of sweet potatoes in the cellar, Li Yu climbed down to the cellar and took out five sweet potatoes, intending to make steamed sweet potatoes and shredded sweet potatoes.Tuantuan saw her elder sister walking towards the kitchen with things, ran over bumpily, and hugged Li Yu's thigh, "Sister ~ sister ~ are you cooking delicious food for Tuan Tuan again?"

Li Yu squatted down with a smile and tapped his little nose with his hand, "You are a greedy cat, you know how to eat. Go and help Sister Lian'er feed the chicken, and I will have something delicious for you in a while. Be good, go Bar."

Tuantuan nodded obediently, and ran to Lian Er to help feed the chickens.Li Yu went to the kitchen to wash off the mud on the sweet potatoes, and then wiped it off with a cloth.Pick three and put them directly into the stove and burn them with firewood, peel off the skin of the remaining two with a knife, and cut the sweet potato meat into small pieces. Vegetable oil should have been used, but there is no such thing here, so Li Yu had to I used some lard to fry the sweet potatoes, and drained them into the plate.

After cleaning the pot, Li Yu poured a little sugar and water into the pot. Looking at the little bit of sugar in the pot and the little bit of sugar left in the jar, Li Yu really wanted to sigh. It hasn't been long since the sugar was bought, because the price is too high. It's expensive, and I'm not willing to buy too much.Just put a little in every time you use it.Now there is not much left.

Li Yu looked at the remaining white sugar, and poured some more into the pot cruelly.After the sugar is boiled, add a little oil to it and continue to boil. After the sugar turns light yellow, pour in the fried sweet potatoes, mix well, and then put them out and put them on a plate with oil on the bottom of the plate.

Seeing the finished shredded sweet potatoes, Li Yu filled a bowl with some boiled water and carried them to the yard together with the plate, "Tuantuan, Lian'er, come and eat something delicious~~" "Wow~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tuantuan rushed over at once, Li Yu looked at Tuantuan's little cat-like face and smiled, "Look at you, you've turned into a little cat when you play, come and sister wash your face."

After Gang Tuantuan washed his face, the three of them sat around the table. Lian'er looked at the plate on the table, bit the chopsticks between her teeth and asked, "Miss, what did you do this time? It seems that we have been digging for the past few days. Sweet potatoes, right! How do you eat this?"

"Well, it's the sweet potato we dug. Now let you know that your labor is valuable. Come on, pick up a piece with chopsticks first, just like this, see if there is any sugar shreds on the pulled up sweet potato, because the freshly made sweet potato You can pull out the sugar shreds, so this is called shredded sweet potato, dip it in water before eating, or it will stick to your teeth." Li Yu demonstrated how to eat while talking, and fed the dipped sweet potato into Tuantuan's mouth, Tuan Tuan wah woo ate all of it in one big gulp, and both cheeks puffed up.

Tuantuan and Lian'er couldn't stop eating the sweet icing and sweet sweet potatoes.Soon a plate of shredded sweet potatoes entered the stomachs of three people.

"Sister~ sister~ it's delicious~ Tuantuan is full~ sister is the best~" After speaking, he kissed Li Yu with a bang, and Li Yu kissed back with a smile, "Tuantuan ate sweets and his mouth is so small It's getting sweet~"

Tuantuan bowed his head and played with his fingers in embarrassment, "Hehe, well, Tuantuan is full, sister will teach you how to play with building blocks, Lian Er, come in and have a rest." Li Yu picked up Tuantuan and walked into the house, Lian Er obediently followed behind them.

Li Yu sat on the kang with his arms in his arms, got up again and took out the building blocks that Carpenter Zhang had sent him in the morning from the cabinet. "Dangdangdang~ Tuantuan~ It's fun~"

Tuantuan crawled towards Li Yu, picked up the building blocks Li Yu put on the kang to play with.Lian'er also came over, picked up the building blocks and fiddled with them curiously, "Miss? What is this? You can always come up with so many weird things!"

"Hehe, these are called building blocks. I specially asked Carpenter Zhang to help them make them. They are for developing intelligence and exercising hands-on ability for Tuantuan. I'll show you how to play with them." Li Yu said while moving the building blocks on the kang Make it look like a small house.

"Wow! Miss, it's a house, Miss is amazing!" Lian Er opened her mouth in surprise when she saw that Li Yu had built a house in a few moments.After hearing this, Li Yu said proudly, "What is this! Let me build something else for you!" As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, Li Yu built a big arch bridge, and Lian Er clapped her hands after seeing it.Seeing how well her sister built it, Tuantuan stretched out her hand to grab the building blocks, and shouted eagerly, "Sister, Tuantuan wants to play too, let's play for Tuantuan!!"

Li Yu sat behind Tuan Tuan and taught Tuan Tuan to play, while Lian Er also sat beside Tuan Tuan to help Tuan Tuan. Li Yu raised his head to see Lian Er and Tuan Tuan playing so devotedly, and felt that the feeling of being together as a family was really warm.Tuantuan and Lian'er are everything to him, and he will do everything possible to protect them.

"Sister~ It's fun, Tuantuan wants to play with Bao'er!" Tuantuan suddenly interrupted Li Yu's thoughts.Li Yu patted Tuantuan's little head, "Well, good, Tuantuan knows that sister is very happy to share interesting things with friends. Tomorrow, sister will go out with sister Lianer, and sister will put you at Bao'er's house to be with him Are you playing well?"

"Well, Tuantuan will be obedient when playing with Bao'er." Now Tuantuan is not as insecure as before, and he is not so clingy to Li Yu, especially after having Bao'er as a playmate, his personality is also cheerful many.

Li Yu then said to Lian'er, "Lian'er, the two of us will go to the town tomorrow to see if we can find a suitable shop. You can play with Tuan Tuan first, and I will go to Zhang Carpenter's house to see if we can find a suitable shop tomorrow." We can't ask them to help take care of Tuantuan."

"Miss, you go, I will watch over the ball." Lian'er nodded obediently and replied.

Li Yu packed up and went to Zhang Carpenter's house. On the way, he met Aunt Liu. After a few words, Li Yu went his own way. rice ears.Looking at the old man's bent body, Li Yu felt very sad.

I couldn't help but walked forward and helped the old woman up, "Grandma, why are you still picking rice ears at such an old age? What about your family members? You have to be careful!" Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law ignored her and broke free. With his own support, he walked westward with heavy steps.

Li Yu looked at the old woman's back, hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head and continued walking to Zhang Carpenter's house.When they arrived at Zhang Carpenter's house and explained their intentions, Liu Lanhua enthusiastically agreed and asked about the robbery at Li Yu's house last night.Li Yu told the truth about the situation at that time, which caused Liu Lanhua to sigh.After agreeing to send Tuantuan over tomorrow morning, Li Yu said goodbye and went home.

When he got home and saw that Tuantuan and Lian'er were still playing, Li Yu suddenly thought of making a small backpack for Tuantuan.Find out the leftover fabric from the cotton coat in the box, and start to sew a modern backpack for Tuan Tuan stitch by stitch.Just like this, the afternoon passed quietly while Tuan Tuan and Lian Er were joking and Li Yu was sewing.

By the time Li Yu finished the backpack with two straps short, it was already time for dinner. Li Yu dug out the roasted sweet potatoes that had been put in the stove at noon. Praise vigorously, both of them ate all over their faces.Li Yu made fun of him.

After eating, Li Yu finished the backpack before it got dark, "Tuantuan, come on, my sister made a bag for you, come and try it." Holding the building blocks in his hand, Tuantuan ran over bumpily, Li Yu put the backpack on Tuantuan's back, and adjusted the length of the strap.

Looking at the bag on Tuantuan's back, Li Yu nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, Tuantuan, this will be your exclusive little bag from now on, so be careful and don't lose it!" Tuantuan tightly grasped the backpack strap, The little head is like a chicken cutting rice.
