take a wife to support the family

Chapter 18 Fragrant Elm Coin Rice

Lily asked Yingchun to pack a bowl of fried rabbit meat for her and give it to the concierge so that she could come and go in the future. It was for long-term consideration.She satisfies her cravings by herself, and she feels a little sorry when she thinks of Song Haonian, so she pays more attention to preparing the meals after returning home.

However, the Song family has limited materials, and Song Haonian is not like her who has a fine tongue, so she didn't taste good or bad. Instead, she looked at her worriedly: "Why do you eat so little?" He only thought she was sick again.

Lily couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly said that she went to see her sister and ate at Yingchun's.

After dinner, while the sky was still bright, Lily told Song Haonian that she had connected with Mrs. Sheng who was in charge of the kitchen in the Liu family: "It's already agreed, if we catch game in the future, just send it to her first. "

Song Haonian just nodded, thinking that his daughter-in-law was amazing, she looked at Mumu in a daze before, but she didn't expect to take down Aunt Sheng as soon as she made a move, and added a lot of income to the family.

"You asked me to keep a few live rabbits, but today's ones are too big, so I didn't keep them."

"Don't worry, just don't kill the little one when you catch it." Lily asked Song Haonian to ask the little rabbit for other purposes.

So Song Haonian went to the yard to peel and wash the rabbit. The internal organs of the rabbit were basically inedible, but Heizi raised in Liu Yi's family liked it very much. Recently, Heizi was very enthusiastic when he saw Song Haonian.

Lily moved a bench and sat at the door, with a pot of fire beside her, mending clothes in the dim light of the day.Song Haonian has been running outside for many years, and his clothes are easily worn out. Only when he really can't wear them will he ask Mrs. Liu Yi to mend them. He doesn't care about small things like frayed cuffs and holes in trousers.

Now Lily is willing to take care of this matter, patching with various cloth ends, and the stitches are neat, Song Haonian is very happy.

Moreover, Lily is very handy. She mended Song Haonian's clothes without much skill. On her own clothes, she used rags to make patterns to cover the holes. It was beautiful and fresh. If you didn't look carefully, you would think she was wearing something new. clothes.

After all, without a lamp, Lily dared not waste her eyes too much, otherwise she would suffer a lot when she got old.In addition, it is not good to always lower your head and use it to target your neck. Every once in a while, Lily raises her head and moves her neck to look into the distance.

Every time he looked up, he would see Song Haonian looking at her with a smirk.Lily wanted to talk about him, but he didn't delay the work in hand, so he had to let him go.

In my heart, I feel that this feeling is very fresh. Lily has never been in a relationship in her previous life. The person introduced to her was for marriage. Work, buying a house, all kinds of plans are different, but there is no intention of developing a relationship.

At that time, Lily thought that love is a luxury, as long as life goes on smoothly, two people will always show affection after a long time, and that kind of family affection is more reassuring than any unforgettable love.

But she never expected that she would suddenly travel back hundreds of years and become a farmer's wife.The most unexpected thing is that she will have a sweet feeling in the farmer's silly smile.

She is clearly aware that the relationship between the two is taking root, absorbing nutrients from their daily relationship, and will grow to a flourishing level.

Lily doesn't feel unwilling, and there's nothing wrong with being a farmer. Some people are rich and hungry, but they are wolf-hearted. I don't know how much worse than this farmer.

She would rather live a good life with Song Haonian with her own hands, than fight with a group of women to the death in a rich man's backyard like in the novels she read before.

The next day, Baihe took Song Haonian and sent the agreed rabbit meat to Liu's kitchen, also to let Song Haonian recognize his way and Liu's people recognize his face. If she doesn't come, Song Haonian can come by himself .

The five rabbits weighed about ten catties after being stripped and cleaned. Mrs. Sheng couldn't weigh them, so she picked them up and gave them thirty coins.

Song Haonian stared at the money in a daze, Lily also laughed and said: "It's too much, it's not worth so much."

Mrs. Sheng said: "I know you two are honest people, just once, you just keep it, and of course you will follow the rules in the future."

In fact, the honest person Mrs. Sheng mentioned was only Baihe, and Song Haonian was not a good person in people's impression.Lily thanked her repeatedly before accepting it.

Coming out of Liu's house, the young couple carried the meat basket and walked home. Halfway there, Lily's footsteps suddenly slowed down: "It's all grown..."

Song Haonian thought that Lily was tired, and asked her: "Shall I take a rest?"

Lily quickly pointed it out to him, "Yuqian!"

Where there are willow trees, there will probably be elm trees. The leaves of the elm trees are round when they first grow, and they are clustered on the branches. They look like strings of copper coins, so they are called elm coins.

Elm money is very tender and has a sweet taste. Poor people often use it as a meal to spend the spring when it is green and yellow.

The elm tree is not high, the elm pendant hangs down, and the lily can reach it as soon as she stretches out her hand. She excitedly took Song Haonian to stroke the elm pen, picked a few pieces and blew them before eating them raw. sweet.

Song Haonian's hands are big and rough, he can only stroke elm coins faster than Lily, he is tall, he only picks high leaves, and he quickly fills a basket.

Back home, pick out the hard and inedible leaves and stalks, leaving only the tenderest leaves, and wash them carefully with well water. Slowly, the basket of elm coins glows like emeralds under the sun.

Wheat is still a rare commodity at this time. The first time it is ground, it is called black flour, and the second time it is still rough and yellowed. The skin must be completely removed and ground for a third time to get fine white flour.

The Song family couldn't afford fine white noodles, but relatives and friends from all over the place helped out, and the family was constantly looking for life, so they still bought dozens of catties of black noodles at the market.

A bamboo stretcher with a piece of thick-eye gauze stretched in the middle, which is what is used for Luo noodles.Only after two passes, the sand, stalks and bugs in the black flour will all be separated, and finer flour will be left.

Lily scattered the impurities in the yard, and the chickens liked to eat them, pecking at the ground and grinding their beaks on the fence.

Flour is sprinkled on the drained yuqian, so that each piece of yuqian is evenly coated with flour, and then a pot of water is boiled and steamed. After a quarter of an hour, the fragrant and fresh yuqian rice comes out of the pan.

There is still some rabbit meat at home, chopped it up and boiled a pot of broth, which can be regarded as a bit of meat.

The young couple ate yuqian rice with rabbit broth. The sweetness of yuqian constantly stimulated the taste buds, and the aroma of wheat flour increased the taste.

It's no wonder that everyone from adults to children like to eat elm money rice. Even after Lily became a teacher, she would pick elm money with her colleagues for a change of taste.

The young couple here are willing to be poor, but they don't know that someone in the Liu residence is talking about them.
