The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 84

After seeing off shopkeeper Zhang and the chef who were full of stomachs and satisfaction, Lin Qiu came to the backyard to clean up. Fang Yumin didn't mind the cold weather, so she sat down on the stone steps and looked at the two bundles of cherry trees in the yard. Straight music.I made another 500 taels of silver today, and the sales of next year's soy sauce and Zhuhou sauce can be considered paved.Delicious food really doesn't matter age, age or race, as long as it's delicious, no matter ancient or modern, it's so popular!
"Mother, look, these two cherry trees seem to be budding." Xiao Ming walked up to Fang Yumin and sat down, pointing to the cherry trees.

Fang Yumin just had fun and didn't look carefully, so it turned out that little flower buds really formed. "The harvest period of cherries is generally from March to May. It takes about forty days from flowering to fruiting. If our cherries bloom early, your father will not be lucky."

"Oh," Xiao Ming looked disappointed, he raised his face and asked Fang Yumin: "Mother, can you find a way to save the cherries until Daddy comes back to eat?"

How do you keep it without a refrigerator?Fang Yumin shrugged at Xiao Ming, spread his hands and said helplessly, "I can't help it. At most, I can only make some cherry sauce or cherry wine."

"Cherry sauce! Cherry sauce!" Xiao Ming clapped his hands happily and said, "Mom, let's make cherry sauce."

Fang Yumin poked Xiao Ming's fat face with her index finger and said with a smile, "Do you want to eat it or leave it for your father?"

Xiao Ming grabbed Fang Yumin's finger with a smile, showing a mouthful of small white teeth: "Eat them all."

Fang Yumin pinched Xiao Ming again, and said: "Your brother Xiaoyang is helping out in the backyard. How dare you sit here and chat? Go quickly."

"Yes, sir!" Xiao Ming bowed to Fang Yumin and bounded to the backyard.

Fang Yumin smiled and watched Xiao Ming run away before looking back.After a year of hard work, the family had enough food and clothing. Fang Yumin decided to focus on one thing this year, which was brewing soy sauce and Zhuhou sauce.If it is done well, it will be expanded in the future.

If the Lin family has been busy for several days, when the villagers began to sow seeds, the seedlings in Lin Qiulai's paddy field had already grown; and the corn, soybeans, mung beans, peanuts, etc. covered under the film had already broken the ground. It has become a seedling and is growing well.

Lin Qiu came to Fang Yumin to take Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang to work in the fields every day. The weather had already warmed up at this time, so there was no need to cover the film.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang were in charge of putting away the film, Fang Yumin was in charge of weeding and picking fresh wild vegetables, and Lin Qiulai was in charge of irrigation.

When the dry land of more than [-] mu was finished, the seedlings had grown to a height that could be transplanted.But Fang Yumin didn't have to worry about transplanting rice seedlings. Those villagers who wanted to raise fish in the rice fields came to help early on. Fang Yumin only needed to talk and point fingers, and naturally someone would be willing to go to the fields to practice.

Fang Yumin is willing to share such a good method with the villagers.She explained everything she knew, the problems she had encountered, and the things to pay attention to, etc., to the villagers one by one.

The enthusiasm of the villagers is also quite high, and Fang Yumin is also very grateful in his heart.After Lin Qiu came home to plant seedlings in the three-acre paddy field and put fry, there were still a lot of fry left.So Fang Yumin took out all the leftover fry, and anyone who didn't have enough fry would put some back.There is only one river in Linjiacun, and there is no fine net like modern times, nor electric boats, and so many people go down the river to catch them, so there are too many monks and too little porridge.

Because Fang Yumin started spring plowing early, when the busy farming season started in Linjiacun, Lin Qiu's coming home had already ended.Now Lin Qiulai takes Fang Yumin up the mountain every morning.Lin Qiu came to chop firewood, dig traps and catch rabbits, while Fang Yumin picked some fresh wild vegetables, straw mushrooms, or looked for new spices or new ingredients.

Spring returns to the earth, and when the weather warms up, there are a lot of wild vegetables and wild mushrooms on the mountain, and many small animals come out to look for food. Lin Qiulai harvested quite a lot.A few pheasants can be picked at two ends in three days, and the rabbits will go back.Sometimes I can dig out a few nests of bird eggs.It made Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang clamor to go with them every day, but they had to go to school and do their homework, so they had to wait for the school's monthly vacation.

Fang Yumin also picked a lot of mushrooms, but she didn't know much about wild mushrooms, so she only dared to pick straw mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms that she knew, and she didn't dare to pick other ones whose colors or shapes were not sure.Stewed fish with fresh mushrooms, the soup is very fresh and sweet; fat mushrooms are also very fragrant when fried in oil; but Fang Yumin still decided to make all the mushrooms into dried mushrooms, which are long-lasting and taste better, and are a good ingredient.Now she carefully covers the mycelium with fresh moss and soil every time she picks mushrooms, and marks them.As long as you abide by the law of the growth of all things in the mountains, you will not be afraid of not being able to pick them in the future.

Gradually, the firewood at home filled two woodsheds, the rice was milled and packed into a big rice tank, and the wheat was ground into flour and packed into a big cloth bag.Lin Qiulai rechecked all the furniture, doors and windows, and tidied up what needed to be mended and repaired.

The soybean oil at home has also been squeezed into two large tanks, and Fang Yumin feels that even if it is a year, the whole family will not be able to use so much oil.Forget it, if Lin Qiulai feels at ease, so be it. Anyway, it can be used to fry meatballs, French fries, and fried vegetables for Tianfuluo.

On the day Lin Qiulai set off, Fang Yumin equipped him with two big bags.One is for food, there are dried pork jerky, fried meatballs, kimchi, pickles, and pancakes baked in the oven well.For snacks, there are fried peanuts, crispy twists and peanut sesame candies.The other bag is clothes. The inner and outer clothes, socks and shoes are all complete, all designed by Fang Yumin, and made by Xiaohong and He Shi.

Originally, Fang Yumin wanted to make a suitcase for Lin Qiulai to drag the suitcase, but the roads in ancient times were different from modern ones, and the roads were bumpy, so she couldn't help but carry it easily, so she gave up.

"This is small change. You should keep this money close to your body, and this bank note." Fang Yumin put the cloth bag containing the copper coins into Lin Qiulai's hand, stuffed the silver into the small cloth bag and hung it around his neck. The bank note was wrapped in oiled paper and asked Lin Qiulai to put it in the small pocket in his trousers.

Lin Qiulai let Fang Yumin rush around, but he just looked at Fang Yumin tenderly.It is estimated that it will take at least one or two months to go out this time. Lin Qiulai doesn't want to go out at all, but he promised to have to go.With so much work at home, Xiao Min's health is not very good, and Lin Qiulai is really worried because her two sons are still young.

"You must be careful along the way. If, if there is anything, remember money and wealth, you know?" Fang Yumin felt a little unnatural when Lin Qiu saw it, she poked his thick chest and said softly .

"Understood. You should take good care of yourself at home. Xiao Min, don't force yourself to do the work in the field. I told my second elder brother and second sister-in-law that you can ask them for help if you need help. Or you can hire someone to do it."

"I know this, I won't treat myself badly, don't worry." Fang Yumin patted Lin Qiulai's chest, "Don't save money, you have to eat and dress warmly. Come back as soon as possible."

"Is there anything you want to buy?"

"That's right, I'll give you another 50 taels of silver bills. If you see any unusual ingredients or spices, you can buy them back." Fang Yumin's tender eyes burst into dazzling brilliance, and immediately turned around and rushed into the room to get the silver bills.

Lin Qiulai chuckled and shook his head, and waved to Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang who stood in front of him with wet eyes.

"Father." Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang immediately ran over and hugged Lin Qiulai's waist.

"Be good." Lin Qiulai patted the heads of the two sons, and said softly: "You have grown up too, you have to help your mother with the housework, don't make her angry, you understand?"

"Hmm. Woo~"

"Father is not at home, you have to study hard and listen to your mother. If you have anything to do, you can go to the second uncle and the second aunt. Remember?"

"remember."

"So good." Lin Qiulai knelt down, kissed Xiao Ming's face like Fang Yumin usually kissed them, and then kissed Xiao Yang's forehead, then opened his arms and hugged them.

Fang Yumin stood at the door of the room and looked at the father and son, his eyes were a little wet.When I first came here, I was afraid that Lin Qiu would come back, but now that he is going to go out, I am so reluctant.

It was only dawn, and the big banyan tree at the entrance of Linjiacun was already full of villagers who were seeing off.One mule cart was filled with sweet potato flour, and the other mule cart was filled with household items. Fang Yumin contributed a can of prepared spicy sauce to facilitate the promotion of sweet potato flour.

Fang Yumin took Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang to send Lin Qiu to the entrance of the village. Lin Qiulai continued to give instructions to this and that, and asked Lin Xialai and his wife and Aunt Chunhua to take care of them.As for his parents and elder brother's family, Lin Qiulai can't count on it, and it would be good if they didn't bother Fang Yumin.But he still went to Lin Daniu and Zhang Cuihua and told them to take care of their health.

Finally about to set off, Lin Qiulai stepped forward and hugged Fang Yumin tightly regardless of everyone's eyes.Then he squatted down and hugged Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang.After a while, he waved at them and caught up with Uncle Damin and the others who were already on their way.

Fang Yumin dragged Xiao Ming with one hand and Xiao Yang with the other, watching Lin Qiulai's back as he walked further and further away.Suddenly, my eye sockets became sore, and my heart was so stuffy that I wanted to cry.

Aunt Chunhua came over and patted Fang Yumin's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Okay, Xiaolian, take Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang home quickly. It's still cold now, so don't catch a cold."

"En." Fang Yumin turned her head and found that the villagers had dispersed, and only they and Aunt Chunhua were still standing here.

"Aunt Chunhua, let's go. I got up early today, so everyone can go home and sleep well. Anyway, Xiao Ming and the others have asked for leave today and don't have to go to school."

"Come on, let's go home!"

Fang Yumin looked at the warm sunshine breaking through the clouds, and couldn't help but smile with his eyes bent.
