Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 214 Worry
One of the couple cuts the linen, the other sews, talking a few words from time to time, just like other couples in the village.Hong Haoan looked sideways at Puhuang's serious eyebrows and eyes, and there was something called happiness flowing in his heart. He never thought that he would have such an ordinary and happy life, if nothing happened in Chuncheng.

But no matter what, he will do his best to protect such a day.

Puhuang was already familiar with Hong Haoan's gaze, but she didn't even raise her head, and the needle and thread in her hands were flying back and forth quickly. It didn't need to be as delicate as making clothes, but it was also simple, so she did it very easily.

Xiaojiang Village is not a big village, and when the harvest season comes, almost the whole village is mobilized, old people, children and women, and none of them is free. In the fields, people's heads can be seen everywhere.Generally speaking, the people in the village are gathered together, and most of them work together with a few close relatives. If there are those with a large population, they will go to the village to help in order to earn some wages.

Brother Jiang arranged a few strong laborers, plus Puhuang Hong Haoan, there were nearly ten people, and the speed of putting away Puhuang was really fast. Although Puhuang was very fast, Hong Haoan didn't want her to dry in the field. As soon as the sun came up, let her go back and prepare lunch.

It is not the first time to cook big pot rice. Puhuang is quite experienced. Hong Haoan went to Chuncheng yesterday to inquire about the news, and bought a lot of meat on the way back. The weather was hot and he couldn't keep it for a long time, so he cooked it.

At noon, there is usually a salty rice and a soup, which are eaten directly in the field. After a break, they continue to work. After five days of busy work, all the rice on the village is harvested, and these simple villagers did not stop. Come down to rest and continue to work on the summer harvest.

When the rice is harvested, it is almost time to prepare the ground for planting the second season of rice. While they were away, Brother Jiang had already raised seedlings, including a few mu of glutinous rice, which made Puhuang very fine. Like Hong Haoan After discussion, one mu of land will be used to plant horseshoes, which will be used as spices or other things in winter, which taste very good.

After a month, almost everyone was in the dark, but this year's harvest is good, no matter how tired they are, the people in Xiaojiang Village are very happy, but they are not idle, and they are reclaiming wasteland on the barren hills, planting soybeans Sweet potatoes and the like, originally they wanted to grow corn, but after Puhuang explained a bit, they changed them all, which surprised her.

"My lady, there is less than half a jar of jam left. I would have made more if I knew it earlier." Hong Haoan handed Puhuang a bowl of jam. Sweet and sour is also one of her favorite flavors, but this time the jam is mainly Tried, but was unexpectedly so successful, it seems that he is really talented, and the number of failures in studying food is not many.

"It's okay. It worked this time. I'll make more next time. I see that there are quite a lot of persimmon trees here. There will be persimmons to eat in October." Some people also sold it in Spring City, but the taste was not good.

"There are not many people who grow fruit in Xiaojiang Village. They are all wild fruits from the mountains, but they are so sour and small in size. There are not many people who make jam at all."

"Didn't we grow peaches? We will eat them next year. Have you prepared the seasoning powder I asked you to change? Steam the pumpkin and roll it before drying it. It must taste good." Pu Huang dislikes dried pumpkin The taste is too bland, so I asked Hong Haoan to study the seasoning, mainly five flavors.

"Okay, I'll take those sun-dried pumpkins and steam them later." Hong Hao'an spread out the rice that had been sun-dried in the yard, and then went to work in the kitchen. Pu Huang sat on the recliner, swaying leisurely I don't know if it's the soil quality or the variety. The pumpkins in Xiaojiang Village are soft and waxy and delicious. If the pumpkins are dried successfully, it is also a product of the village.

The interest relationship is the strongest and the weakest. Zhuangzi is here, and it is necessary to build a good relationship with the villagers. If they can increase their income, even if they don’t live in Zhuangzi, the villagers will remember them Kindness, protect this Zhuangzi well.

Facts have proved that Hong Haoan is really talented in the study of food. Puhuang only needs to give a general direction, and he can fiddle with it. It is very satisfying, and he also has garlic and spicy flavors, but because There is less chili, and only a little bit is done.

Puhuang grabbed a stick and chewed it hard. The more you eat it, the more delicious it is. When you have nothing to do in winter, you can eat a stick. A lot, and then went to Lizheng's house with it. Along the way, I ran into some women and children from time to time, and they all greeted her politely.

"Madam owner, you are here, sit down quickly, I just cooked tofu lean meat soup, drink a bowl." Mrs. Jiang was very enthusiastic when she saw Puhuang, and immediately went into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of soup. Her mother-in-law was not in good health, and her younger uncles were also separated early. She was the housekeeper, and she felt relieved.

Puhuang is not too polite, Mrs. Jiang's craftsmanship is pretty good, "Your craftsmanship is pretty good, I'm really here at the right time."

"Haha, it's my honor to be able to suit the taste of the owner's wife. If it tastes good, I'll eat more. I've cooked a lot." Mrs. Jiang is not the kind of person who hides good things. Very generous.

"Then I don't dare, I ate them all, and your two children will cry." Pu Huang said with a smile, picked up the bowl and took a sip of hot soup, "By the way, I didn't come here specially to drink Soup, here, didn’t I ask you last time to ask how to make dried pumpkin, try the taste, what do you think?”

Mrs. Jiang snorted and saw that the dried pumpkin in the bowl was darker than the one made by her natal family. She took a taste of one, raised her brows, and was very surprised, "Madam owner, how is this made? It’s really good, the aroma doesn’t overwhelm the taste of pumpkin, and it’s chewy, it’s perfect as a snack.”

"This is also because the pumpkins in Xiaojiang Village are well grown. That's why I came to you. Don't you sell dried sweet potatoes in the city? Our Xiaojiang Village can definitely sell dried pumpkins. This is the only one. Anyway, this pumpkin If you can’t finish eating, you’re still feeding pigs, so it’s better to sell it for money, although the procedure is a bit more troublesome.”

Li Zheng is relatively old, and has been cultivating Big Brother Jiang as his successor, and has been taking him with him for the past two years, allowing him to participate in the decision-making of some things, so Pu Huang came to see Mrs. Jiang, which is equivalent to Li Zheng knowing .

Of course Mrs. Jiang can tell that this dried pumpkin should be sold at a high price. The seasoning wrapped on the surface of the dried pumpkin is very important, but this recipe can’t be for nothing. , she always has to mention that they are real people, and they can only gain if they work hard, and it is unrealistic to get something for nothing, and they also have a guilty conscience.

"This recipe is not difficult. My husband-in-law came up with it. You can talk to brother Jiang, and then let them discuss it." As for business, Puhuang can do it, but if you do business with acquaintances, then Some trouble.

Mrs. Jiang also knew that Puhuang was right. This matter is not a trivial matter. It needs a man to make up his mind. "That's it. Thank you, Mrs. Madam, I will tell my husband."

After returning home, a small bunch of zongzi followed. Although these children were a bit mischievous, they were not self-willed and arrogant. Puhuang still didn’t hate them, and gave them a lot of dried pumpkins. These ghosts knew that they would eat them , I will run and lie down every few days.

It is best to go out from Puhuang to do what pumpkin does. What Hong Haoan said always feels a little deliberate, but if it is done by a woman, it seems natural.

In the end, Pu Huang didn't know what Hong Hao'an, Brother Jiang, and Li Zheng said, but it was still very beneficial for them to sign the agreement.After talking about the pumpkin, the whole village got busy. The whole village was filled with the smell of pumpkin, and there were hardworking women who sowed the seeds again and said they wanted to try the second season.

Whether the pumpkins in the second season will be ripe or not, Puhuang is not sure, but raw pumpkins are fried and eaten with a different taste, and there will be no loss.The seasonings for the dried pumpkin don't need to be specially prepared, just master the approximate ratio, so the villagers can make it very easily.

After planting the rice in the second season, Hong Hao'an got busy. He would go into the city every two days and bring a lot of things with him when he came back. He told Puhuang about the current economic situation in Spring City, but he didn't say anything. Others, but Pu Huang always felt that he was hiding something from himself.

"Is there something you didn't tell me?" Pu Huang called Hong Hao'an, frowning and asked, not because he wanted him to explain everything to him, but because he was afraid that he would do something dangerous.

Hong Haoan looked at Puhuang's serious face, and didn't want to worry her at first, but now it seemed to have the opposite effect, he sighed lightly, and sat down in front of Puhuang: "My lady, I will not do dangerous things Yes, just recently, news came from Yuntong Prefecture that all the officials have been arrested, I am worried about Brother Datang, and I am trying to find a way for people to enter Yuntong Prefecture to inquire about the news."

It turned out to be for Hong Haoxing's business, but it is also understandable. In ancient times, the relationship between cousins ​​would not be too weak. Anyway, it would be good if Hong Hao'an wanted to check the news himself, "What is the geographical location of Yuntong Prefecture? It is impossible for the rebels to guard all the places. If the coastline is long, the main places must be guarded, and the places near the mountains, let alone, but the mountains and forests are dangerous, you can consider going from the bottom of the sea.”

"Well, I thought so too, but Runzhi said that he had sent people in from the sea before, but there was no news. I was afraid that they would be caught, so I wanted to start from other places."

"It's right to have this consideration. You can make an idea. If you really want to go, I will follow. By the way, how are those children?" It's been more than a month, are those children still awake?Could it be that Huangfu has nothing to do with his heart?

"A few more died later, but now the children's skin has returned to normal, but they are still not awake. Dr. Huangfu said that it will be soon, and there are already signs." With so many children, there is no way to block the news. Everyone in Chuncheng is paying attention, and everyone is under a lot of pressure.
