Chapter 82 Pumpkin Oil Residue Rice

All the courgettes are stored in the cellar, the melon vines are a little withered, and only one pumpkin is ripe in the vegetable field.

Lily got up early in the morning, cleaned the yard, went around the vegetable field as usual, and fed the black tiger, and saw a yellow pumpkin there, which was as big as a small stone mill.

She was overjoyed, and went over to break the melon vine. She weighed it in her hand, it was quite heavy, she simply erected the melon, and rolled it into the yard like a wheel.

Now the black tiger was happy, and ran back and forth around the lily, and kept pounced on the pumpkin to sniff the pumpkin—it just saw that this thing was still lying on the ground, why can it move now!

Song Haonian saw Lily squatting there rolling a pumpkin, he couldn't help laughing, he quickly went up and lifted it with one hand, and put it into the kitchen.

Lily couldn't stop laughing, she bent her waist and put her hands on her knees to pant, and said after recovering, "I'll eat pumpkin rice today."

After breakfast, Song Haonian went to work on the farm. Now that most of the things in the farm had been harvested, the work they had to do was greatly reduced. Mountain hunting.

Pumpkin rice is not difficult to make, it just takes some time.Before Song Haonian left, he helped Lily break the pumpkin in half, lest she was too weak to handle it.

Lily took a wooden spoon and scooped out the orange pulp inside.What the pumpkin needs to eat is the flesh. The flesh cannot be eaten, and it will affect the taste. The cleaner the scrape, the better.

The flesh of the melon is sticky, so Lily pastes a couple of handfuls on the sunny wall, sticks the flesh, and then lets it dry in the sun. When peeled off next year, it will be ready-made pumpkin seeds.

Pick out the remaining seeds, wash them, dry them in the sun, and fry them when you have time, and save the meat for Li Caifeng, who tells her to go back and feed the pigs.

Lily divided half of the melon into pieces, peeled off the uneatable outer skin with a knife, washed it, and cut it into small pieces one inch square.

When washing rice and putting it in the pot, you need more water than cooking rice and less water than cooking porridge. The pumpkin rice should be thick but not too dry to be delicious.

When the rice boils, put the pumpkin in and cook together, stirring constantly to avoid sticking to the pan.It took time to cook this rice, and it took more than an hour to cook the pumpkin, which was fragrant and glutinous, and it rotted when you picked it up with chopsticks.

Lily prepared a bowl of fat and thin lard residue early on, poured it into the pumpkin rice and boiled it for a while, sprinkled salt and stirred well, then removed the fire, leaving only a small fire to simmer the rice with the remaining heat.

At this time, there is still a layer of water and oil floating on the surface of the pumpkin rice, just don't touch it, cover it with a lid and suffocate it, the rice will naturally absorb water and thicken.

When Song Haonian came home, Lily lifted the lid of the pot, and it was a pot of yellow and fragrant pumpkin rice, with a thick layer of rice oil on top, white rice grains and pumpkin mixed together, and some brown lard residue mixed in the middle. It makes people drool.

Pumpkin rice does not need side dishes, just take a bite, the sweetness of the pumpkin, the mellowness of the rice, and the smoothness of the oil residue are perfectly unified, and the taste of the harvest season, the young couple sits opposite each other and eats bowl after bowl.

After the rice cooled down, the taste became more and more sweet, Song Haonian couldn't help stopping his chopsticks: "Why don't you keep some and eat it warm tomorrow morning?"

I really can't bear to eat it all.

Lily smiled and said, "Eat quickly, I will make my own decision tomorrow morning."

This meal was really delicious, Song Haonian finished it with a smile, his stomach was a little full, and he took Lily to visit Liu Yi's house before it was dark, Lily quickly took the melon pulp that was scraped off earlier, and there was still half An unmoving pumpkin, she cut half of it and brought it to Li Caifeng.

Uncle Liu Yi's family entrusted someone to bring some grapes from the city, and they were not many. Li Caifeng dug the well water and washed the grapes until they were crystal clear. Come on in!"

The main reason is that Xing'er is greedy for grapes, adults can still control themselves, each person only tastes two or three grains and then puts them down.

Liu Yi and Song Haonian agreed that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, they would go hunting in the mountains, go out to sell mountain goods in September, and be back before the year.Song Haonian said: "Understood, listen to elder brother's arrangement."

When they woke up the next morning, Song Haonian smelled the aroma of pumpkins. It turned out that Li Baihe had cooked a pot of miscellaneous soup and steamed a few teeth of pumpkins.

The mixed soup is nothing more than a pot of clear water. Flour is mixed with water and rolled into gnocchi, boiled and seasoned with vinegar. It is sour and delicious.The steamed pumpkin is more fresh and sweet, and can also fill up the stomach. Song Haonian is comfortable and full before going to work on the farm.

I met someone on the road, and now the townspeople see him as a serious person, so they are willing to say hello to him: "Go to work?"

He also responded with a smile, laughing all the way to the village, where Liu Sheng was watching people hide melons and vegetables in the cellar, seeing Song Haonian, he smiled and said: "Look at you like this, you are very happy?"

People's living conditions can be seen from the face.When the days are not going well, not only will the brows be frowning, but the face will also be depressed; on the contrary, if the face is rosy and the expression is light, it must be that the family is going well.

Song Haonian thought to himself, since he married his wife, he has never had a bad day - he directly canceled the time when the big girl first married him, counting from Lily Crossing.

Now the work in the farm is not heavy, Song Haonian smiled and said a few words to Liu Sheng, and then went up to help.

At the end of the day, Liu Sheng summoned a few long-term workers and said: "Everyone has worked hard this year. There are few things on the farm now. From tomorrow onwards, only a few farmers will be left to work. Everyone will go home and take care of their homes."

This is also the usual practice every year. No one panicked. They all smiled and said, "It's hard work to be promoted."

Liu Sheng said again: "Tomorrow morning, the accountant in the mansion will pay you wages. If anyone doesn't want the money, they can also convert it into food, melons and vegetables according to the price."

Each family has its own situation, if all the food or all the money is distributed, there will be times when they don't get what they want, but the Liu's distribution is so flexible, which makes people appreciate his family's thoughtfulness.

When everyone dispersed, Liu Sheng called Song Haonian to stop: "A year ago, the mansion gave out new year's goods, come and pick them up then."

Song Haonian was embarrassed: "I've only been working for a few months, I'm sorry..."

"Since I asked you to come, I just prepared a copy for you, why refuse!" Liu Sheng thought to himself, this young man is really sincere, the Liu family has a great business, and he can lose a new year's gift for a long-term worker?

Besides, Uncle Sheng was willing to give him this New Year's gift, not because of how well he worked, but because he was honest and might have great promise in the future, so he was willing to take care of him.

That's it.

Song Haonian went home and told Lily, Lily was also very happy: "You have been exhausted for several months, finally you can take a good rest!"

Song Haonian hugged his daughter-in-law, put his hands on her slender waist, and said with a sigh: "You have worked hard too, I will do some work tomorrow, so you should take a good rest."

The two felt sorry for each other, they blushed a little after speaking, and looked at each other, Song Haonian put his head on Lily's shoulder, hugged for a long time before reluctantly letting go.

They were both young people. Because of the hot weather and heavy work, the two of them hadn't made love for a long time. Song Haonian immediately reacted, and bent over to go out with a red face.

It was still broad daylight, no matter how much he thought, he had to wait until night.

On the second day, Song Haonian brought home [-] yuan. He thought that Baige liked fresh vegetables, and there were many fruits and vegetables in Liufu Zhuangzi that he couldn't find anywhere else. He exchanged half of the money for grapes and pomegranates. , carrots, etc.

Seeing these things, Lily was very happy, and hummed a little tune to clean up the vegetables.Song Haonian also asked: "You don't think I make less money?"

In the few months he has been in Liufu Zhuangzi, he is not as profitable as Lily selling wild fruits in a month. Lily makes money to manage everything. Song Haonian feels a little inferior, always afraid that his wife will dislike him.

Lily smiled and said: "The money is for emergencies, and you can't eat or drink. Why do you need so much? You remember that I like these things, so you are really willing to work hard."

She doesn't think her husband earns less at all. If this man didn't marry her with all his family's wealth, she might be sold to someone by her mother.If this person hadn't killed the few chickens in the house to nourish her when she was dying of hunger, it would have been possible for her to die of illness.

He treats her with [-]% sincerity, she will never dislike him, she just wants to live a peaceful and beautiful life with him.

The smile on Lily's face was suddenly a little strange, and she said softly: "Besides, you are so beautiful, so I can't bear to dislike you."

Song Haonian was stunned for a moment, and with a bang, the blood all over his body was rushing up, even his face and neck were completely red, he glanced away in embarrassment, and stammered: "You, what are you..."

Why did my daughter-in-law suddenly become like this?
Lily flirted with her husband successfully, she was very proud, she reached out to touch his face, turned around to cook, but before she walked out, she hugged him and pressed her to the bed: "What are you doing?"

Lily was a little confused: "Cook, aren't you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry, I won't eat!" Song Haonian said angrily.

He was really not hungry at this time, and he didn't care that the sun had not set yet, and there were people coming and going outside the house, so he tossed and ate his daughter-in-law over and over again just because of the hotness that Lily provoked.

Lily didn't dare to make a sound, she bit the pillow cover tightly, and scratched his back with her fingers, leaving streaks of blood.

At the end of the meal, Lily lost her strength and fell asleep unconsciously. When she woke up, her body was sore and limp. Song Haonian cheerfully cooked the meal and brought it over: "Daughter-in-law, you have worked hard, I will cook today."

Lily snorted and turned her head, giving him the back of his head: How can there be such a person?In broad daylight, just do those things...

She flirted with people and folded herself into it. She secretly miscalculated, so she can't do this again next time.

Now that they are free, the young couple just happened to have some fun, she pretended to be angry, Song Haonian said good things one after another, coaxed her to eat and take a bath, and called Heihu to watch over her and play with her.

No matter how hardworking Lily is, she has not worked so easily these days, and her body is also tired, so she just took this opportunity to take a rest, and she was lazy until the evening, so Song Haonian carried her to the bed.

He said to himself: I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to be so delicate, it's so distressing.
