Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 232 Mo Zidong Gets Married (4)
"Yes, but why did you leave your grandfather in the town?"

Qingli didn't expect that Erni would come back with her, and it would be nice to celebrate the New Year in the town, with Uncle Zhang, Auntie Zhang, Lin Fengche, and her grandfather, Old Man Wang, it wouldn't be too deserted.

"I told my grandfather that I will stay in the village for a few days to take care of the young lady, and I will follow Brother Fushun's ox cart back to town when the Chinese New Year is approaching."

Er Ni smiled innocently and said, "I heard that Miss Si's big brother is getting married, I also want to go and have a look, I don't know if it's the same as ours."

Although Erni is a bit solid-minded, after she came to Mojia Village, Qingli became a direct beneficiary. This girl has a high talent for cooking. Qingli said some food, and she can make it under the guidance of her guide. , not only looks good, but also tastes good.

Qingli mentioned a few foods, such as glutinous rice strips. Erni made them very well, and each strip was very well-proportioned. After being deep-fried, it was rolled with icing sugar, and it was not greasy at all. The little disciple liked it the most, and said it was Bizhen All the pastry shops do well.

After discovering the advantages of Erni, Qingli and Erni occupied a stove in the kitchen, and the two of them studied how to make delicious food every day, even the strange-flavored peanuts that Qingli used to eat in modern times. Peanuts, spicy peanuts, hanging cream peanuts, and peanut crisps are all made, and they are so delicious, I sent some to my uncle’s house, but the next day my cousin came to ask for it, saying that it was so delicious, grandpa Grandma regards this as a snack.

Anyway, there are a lot of peanuts at home, and there is no shortage of these things in Qingli Space, so she suggested to make more and sell them in the town.

In the twelfth lunar month, there is a big market every day, in nearby villages and towns. The people tighten their belts for a year, and they are extra willing to spend money when it comes to the New Year. This kind of snack is eaten on the table during the New Year. It is indispensable. When relatives and friends come to visit, they all have to grab a handful, and they are very popular.

Dad also got busy, cutting a lot of red paper, and took the eldest brother, third brother, and Li Moxuan to write couplets and blessings together. Making silk flowers, my sister-in-law was busy making clothes for the family, and Grandma Cui and Niang poured out new dishes all day long. Everyone seemed busy, and the only two children who were free were little disciples Xi and Dongwa.

"Miss Si, tomorrow is Laba, do you want to cook Laba porridge tonight?"

"Well, our family will go to the market on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. Make more of your peanuts. I'm afraid it won't be sold enough. Even if we can't sell them all, we can give them away."

"I know."

When Er Ni first arrived in Fengyang City, she was very curious about everything. She made vegetable porridge in Laba at her house and mixed it with green vegetables. There are no vegetables growing here at this time, no wonder it is said to be a place of bitter cold.However, Laba porridge is more particular. It uses millet, glutinous rice, peanuts and lotus seeds. If the conditions are better, some chestnut kernels, walnuts, preserved fruits, etc. are added. It looks rich in various colors.

Qingli doesn't know the customs of this era, but they pay attention to a lot. My mother has been nagging since the twelfth lunar month, and she is busy every day, wrapping bean buns, saying that it will take a month to eat these, and with the help of Grandma Cui, it is lucky to serve Some.

The uncle has not come to the door for several days, and the lobby brother Mo Zidong will marry a new wife in a few days, she is still busy steaming steamed buns, flower rolls, and slaughtering pigs and chickens these two days, just to make a good meal In front of the table, she racked her brains, just because the eldest brother was divorced before, this has always been a knot in her heart, and being a parent is full of energy.

Early in the morning of Laba, Qingli could smell the aroma of Laba porridge in her own room. Last night, she simmered slowly all night, and today she drank it warmly, but her family could not eat it first. They had to put it in a bowl for acquaintances. It is relatives and neighbors.

Several members of Qingli's family were basically dispatched, and they also received the same gift from the uncle's family, Aunt Mo's family, the patriarch's family, and neighbor Wang's family. In the evaluation, who does it well, who uses more materials, and who is fooled by cutting corners.

The ingredients in Qingli's house are the most willing, but she feels that because there are too many and too many things in it, it is not as delicious as Aunt Mo Liu's. It is the rest that should be wiped on branches, firewood stacks, fences and other places to worship the God of Five Grains.

In the twelfth lunar month, Laba is considered a relatively important festival. Mother Liu also bought Laba tofu and Laba garlic, and ate it with Laba porridge. The whole family discussed going to the town to sell things tomorrow.

The ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is a big market. In previous years, the family would also sell some couplets at this time. The money they earned was not much, just enough for the New Year. This year, the family has a few more items, but Liu is still a little worried. People in the village , every family has no shortage of peanuts, and you can eat them all by frying them. I don’t know if others are willing to spend money to buy them.

"Mom, if they don't buy it from our family, they can keep it for themselves. The left and right peanuts are all their own, and the cost is not high."

It’s not expensive to sell such a delicious thing for twelve cents a catty. Qing Li just puts the frosted peanuts rolled in sesame seeds up for two cents, and it sells for fourteen cents. Twelve cents, even if you buy raw peanuts, it costs four cents a catty. She is paying a conscience price because many peanuts are produced in space, and the cost is also seven or eight cents.

The ninth day of the twelfth lunar month was a fine day, the morning was sunny and the temperature was unusually high. Mother Liu took her eldest brother Mo Zigui, third brother Mo Zisong, second sister Qing Qiang, Qing Li and her helper, Grandma Cui, to the town together. Go to market.

The crowd went out early, and Fushun came to pick them up in a carriage. There were not many people when they all arrived. They chose a place near the middle. Generally, selling things is not good at the beginning and the end. In the front, ask There are so many people here that they often don't know how to buy, so they need to shop around, and by the end, they are basically sold out, and Qingli is most familiar with the psychology of the buying crowd.

Qingli's stall sells a lot of things. There is a long piece of cloth on the ground, with various ties, silk flowers, couplets, and blessings on it. Next to it, Grandma Cui is holding a small scale for weighing peanuts.

The market is very lively, it is a very long queue, many nearby villagers come to sell their own local specialties, chickens, ducks, eggs, smoked bacon, twisted hemp rope, small baskets, wooden basins , There are also shopkeepers who come to sell rouge, gouache, silk flowers and other miscellaneous things. Many big girls and daughter-in-laws are around. I went to two or three flowers, but Dad Mo Ruhu's couplets and blessings were sold out, and there were many people watching the peanuts. Everyone grabbed a few to taste, and then bought some more or less. Not much, once you buy peanuts, they cost ten catties, and there are not too many left now.

"Second sister, I can't sell my silk flowers."

Qingli was very distressed, because the materials were better selected and the workmanship was meticulous, many people asked, and they all shook their heads when they heard that it would cost thirty cash, but for thirty cash you can buy three ordinary silk flowers and wear them instead.
