After the separation, my wardrobe is modern

Chapter 149 Xiaoman is going to be the county magistrate's wife

Lin Xiaoman made two big bowls in one pot. He wanted to send another bowl with the fish to Xu Qiuliang and the others to taste when the fish was ready, but seeing his appearance, I was afraid that he would eat it on the way. When it was all gone, I simply put it away and waited until the fish was ready before delivering it myself.

When the fish was ready, Lin Xiaoman put the leftovers on plates and served them to the table. He went to pick some steamed river crabs from the pot, and brought a bowl of ginger vinegar water into the basket. I'm eating, I'm going to deliver some to Mr. and Erhu."

Lu Jin wanted to say that he would go with him, but Lin Xiaoman had already walked out quickly.

Looking at the untidy kitchen, Lu Jin walked in on a whim.

Lin Erhu saw the river crab brought by Lin Xiaoman, and happily circled around the table, "Sister, how do you know that I want to eat this? I saw it in the field a few days ago, and thought that I would have some free time in a few days." touch in the river."

Xu Qiuliang, a foodie, was a little disgusted when he saw a river crab that looked like a beetle, but he heard that Lin Erhu wanted to eat it, and it was probably delicious.

"It's not that adults want to eat fish. I brought a few in the fish bucket, and I just remembered that there are still delicious ones, so I asked to catch a few more, and I went to the river to catch them when I wanted to eat them later."

"Yeah, sister, I still want to eat crab roe soup dumplings."

"Success, I'll make it for you in two days."

Lin Xiaoman thought about going to the river to catch some in the afternoon and sending them to Aunt Qi.

At Aunt Qi’s side, wild river crabs are almost invisible, and some of them are artificially farmed. The taste is not as good as the pure natural wild crabs here, not to mention that their mountains are beautiful and the water is completely pollution-free. source water.

In fact, it is not impossible for people to catch river crabs here and sell them there. No, there are ways to make money.

Before going out, he reminded the two people in the room not to be greedy, Lin Erhu waved his hand and said he had made a note.

When he got home, he didn't see Lu Jin, so Lin Xiaoman went to look outside the courtyard.Chen Xiaoshuan saw him and said, "My lord has gone to the river."

Lin Xiaoman guessed that he went to buy river crabs from Lin Dashan again, but the food on the table did not move, thinking that he would not leave for too long, so he didn't look for anyone.

Just entering the kitchen, seeing the clean dishes, Lin Xiaoman raised the corners of his mouth: No matter whether he wants to show off, or really wants to share for himself, in this era, there are really not many men who can help share the housework.

Not to mention Lu Jin's status, even in the village there are plenty of men who go home and sit there, men like uncles, obviously women also want to farm.

Just looking at the bowls in the cabinet, I always feel like there are a few missing.

Lin Xiaoman went to the table to check, and she was sure that two large pottery bowls were missing, which she used to assemble the dishes just now.

After searching around, I finally found the remains of two pottery bowls in the corner of the door: Are these broken and hidden?

But no matter what, his enthusiasm for being willing to help with work cannot be dampened, it's just two bowls, she just pretended not to see it.

Not long after, Lu Jin came back with two large buckets, both of which were covered with a stone slab. From the gap between the stone slab and the bucket, you could see the crab's claws sticking out.

"Why are you catching so many?"

Lu Jin raised the corners of his lips, "Take it back and let Qing Shu and the others steam it for a taste."

Seeing that he was still remembering his subordinates after eating, Lin Xiaoman thought for a while and said, "I'll pack a can of hot pot ingredients for you, and when I go back, I'll chop up the river crabs and stir-fry them."

Just as Lu Jin's face showed joy, he heard Lin Xiaoman say again: "You ate too much today, so don't eat any more."

Lu Jin reluctantly said 'oh', and followed Lin Xiaoman into the hospital.

There are two fish prepared in different ways on the table in the yard, and there are several dishes, which makes people's index fingers move.

Lu Jin loves to eat fish, especially sea fish. When he was in the capital, he often asked people to rush to bring them from the sea.But the river fish is rarely eaten, and it always smells like earth.

But the fish that Lin Xiaoman cooks, whether it's river fish or sea fish, make him never forget, but he can't always ask Lin Xiaoman to cook for him. When he's greedy, he always thinks, why isn't he Lin Erhu?
But after getting along for a long time, from the beginning of admiring Lin Xiaoman's cooking skills, he gradually began to care about Lin Xiaoman. Every time he saw Lin Xiaoman, he was in a good mood, and at the same time, there seemed to be something stirring in his chest.

When Xu Yuanru said that he and Lin Xiaoman were a couple, Lu Jin was in a particularly good mood and almost laughed out loud in front of Xu Yuanru.

Thinking of being able to see Lin Xiaoman every day in the future, and eating her cooking three meals a day, life is truly complete.

Lin Xiaoman didn't know what was going on in his mind, he just looked at his rippling smile and always felt that he wasn't holding back anything good.

Outside the courtyard, villagers who went up the mountain passed by. Looking inside, they saw Lu Jin and Lin Xiaoman eating together. The people who wanted to come in to say hello turned their toes and left.What I thought in my heart was: God, a lonely man and a widow, eating at the same table, Xiao Man is going to be the county magistrate's wife?

As for what is the right family, people in the village don't think so, let alone who has a daughter who doesn't want to climb a high branch?In the eyes of most of the villagers, Lin Xiaoman is the little fairy in their hearts based on the ability Lin Xiaoman has shown in the past year and the crops and vegetables he has produced.

Isn't it just a county magistrate?The old patriarch can say that Xiaoman's taking out grain seeds is a good thing for the benefit of all people, and maybe he will be rewarded by the court. Maybe the little county magistrate will have to kowtow in front of her to say hello.

In the past few days, the potatoes in the village have been harvested one after another. Except for most of Lin Xiaoman's family, which was bought by Lu Jin and transported to the capital, the potatoes in the village have long been taken away by the restaurants that came to the village to buy vegetables.

Stir-fried shredded potatoes with peppers, fried potatoes with sliced ​​peppers, stewed chicken with potatoes... Following the popularity of tomatoes and peppers, potatoes have also set off a wave of craze in Qingping County, and the price has also risen. A serving of fried shredded potatoes with peppers can be sold [-] Wen, with only one potato.

A catty of potatoes costs 100 taels, and almost two to three thousand catties of potatoes are harvested per mu of land. Even the family who grows the least potatoes in the village earns nearly [-] taels, and most villagers can’t save so much in their entire lives.Some people celebrate their income by slaughtering pigs and sheep, while others regret not growing a few acres of potatoes.

After eating potatoes, everyone knows that potatoes are really hungry and can be eaten as food. Xiaoman said that as long as they are stored well, they can be eaten until the beginning of next spring.

For several days in a row, as soon as Lin Xiaoman opened the courtyard door, he could see all kinds of mountain products, eggs and duck eggs in front of the door. They were all sent by the villagers to thank her for bringing her family to earn money.

Lin Xiaoman didn't know who sent them all, and he didn't want to return them, so he just accepted them all.

At this time, an imperial decree came from the capital: the emperor pardoned the crimes of the Xu family. Although they were not allowed to return to Beijing, they could live like the local people.

After getting the news, the Xu family was grateful, and most of them went back to pack their luggage and left. Only Xu Qiuliang and his brothers stayed in the village, and some were unable to make a living outside.

The work of Xu Qiuliang's brothers was no match for those who worked in the fields all year round, and many of them were hired by other families in the village.

After receiving so many thank-you gifts from the villagers, Lin Xiaoman can't compete with the villagers for short-term jobs, so why should he go to the city to hire someone?But seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, there are not many people left who can work in the city, which is really sad.
