The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 197

After breakfast, Han Qianluo took down the glutinous rice slurry that was hung up to drain yesterday, and found that the water was almost drained, so he took it out and put it away for later use, and then went to prepare the stuffing.

Making glutinous rice balls is actually very simple, at least in Han Qianluo's opinion, making glutinous rice balls is much easier than making dumplings or steamed stuffed buns. You don't need to make any folds, just make them round and smooth, which is very simple.

After the preparations were done, Han Qianluo began to make glutinous rice balls. Each glutinous rice ball was white and round, which looked really gratifying.

"Sister San, are these glutinous rice balls? They look delicious." Han Sanwei said greedily as he lay on the side of the stove and looked at the glutinous rice balls.

Han Qianluo tapped his head lightly, and pretended to scold him: "We can only eat at noon, it's still early, go out and work." Han Sanwei let out an "oh" in disappointment, and then went out to help clean up the cottonseed went.

It was finally noon, and Han Sanwei was thinking about those round glutinous rice balls, so he hurriedly urged: "Sister San, it's noon, you can cook."

Han Qianluo looked at the hourglass and found that it was not noon yet, and it took a long time to cook the glutinous rice balls, at most a quarter of an hour, so he decided to cook in a while, so he said to Sanwei: "It's still early, Let's make dinner in a while."

"But it's already noon, and I'm so hungry." Han Sanwei said with a long tail.

But no matter what he said, Han Qianluo was still unmoved, and insisted: "It's still early, wait a little longer, the glutinous rice balls can't escape if they are placed there, and no one will steal them. It's okay to eat early and late." Do you eat the same?"

Seeing that she was unmoved, Han Sanwei had no other choice but to continue to wait, and after a while, he said again: "Sister San, I'm hungry, let's cook."

This time, Han Qianluo looked at the time and found that it was almost time, so he put down the cottonseed in his hand and stood up and said, "I'm going to cook, you go to the next door and ask them to come back for lunch." After speaking, he went to cook glutinous rice balls .

It really didn't take much time to cook the glutinous rice balls, and it was almost done after Han Sanwei called Yu Wenxuan back.

After the glutinous rice balls were cooked, Han Sanwei couldn't wait to scoop a glutinous rice ball into his mouth, but it was burned immediately, but even if it was burned, it didn't stop his eagerness to eat, and he put his hands into his mouth while eating. Fan the wind, and kept saying: "It's delicious."

On the other hand, the other two, their eating habits are much more elegant and gentle.Yu Wenxuan picked up a glutinous rice ball with chopsticks, put the chopsticks down after putting it into his mouth, and chewed slowly with his mouth closed, and only praised after he swallowed the glutinous rice balls: "The food called glutinous rice balls is really delicious. , sweet and delicious, soft and glutinous."

"It's really delicious." Han Qingquan also praised a little bit.

Han Qianluo thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "Brother, do you think I should bring some to the second uncle?"

"Is there any left?" Han Qingquan said, "If you have any, bring them over."

"Then I'll go after dinner." Han Qianluo nodded and said.

After eating, she packed the unfinished glutinous rice balls in a food box and sent them to the second uncle's house.After arriving at the second uncle's house, I found that the second aunt was alone, weaving in the house.

When the second aunt Wang saw her coming with something, she immediately said enthusiastically, "Qianluo, come in and sit down." Han Qianluo waved his hand and said, "Second aunt, I won't sit down anymore, I still have things to do at home." , I brought this here for you." He said and brought out the plate of glutinous rice balls in the basket.

"What is this?" Wang asked a little puzzled.

Han Qianluo quickly explained: "This is glutinous rice balls, made of glutinous rice. I brought some here for Second Aunt to try and see if you like it."

"Why don't you like what you eat? How do you eat this glutinous rice balls? Are they steamed too?" asked Wang while taking the glutinous rice balls to the kitchen.

"You don't need to steam it, just boil it with water. After the water boils, pour the glutinous rice balls into it. You can eat the glutinous rice balls when they float up." Han Qianluo finished speaking and was about to leave.

But Mrs. Wang stopped her, and Mrs. Wang asked, "By the way, what happened to Qingquan, did you wake up?"

"I'm already awake, but my body is very weak now. It took me two days to barely stand up, but I can't stand for a while longer." Han Qianluo replied.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang showed a sigh of relief, and comforted her and said, "No matter what, it's good to wake up, and the body can slowly recover. Anyway, your family is not short of this money now. "

"I think so too. Second Aunt still has things to do at home, so I'll go back first." Han Qianluo was busy cleaning up all the cotton seeds, so he didn't have time to chat here, so he left and went back.

Back home, Han Qianluo was busy cleaning up the cotton seeds, and Sanwei was also helping with the work, and she suddenly thought that Sanwei would go to school again tomorrow, so she said to him: "Don't mess with it, go out and play. "Han Sanwei immediately cheered, dropped the cottonseed in his hand, and ran out like the wind.

While working, Han Qianluo wondered whether to light up lanterns at night. Today is the Lantern Festival, and there will be a custom of lighting up lanterns. Although there is no practical significance, it still has a good meaning.

At this time, Yu Wenxuan came from the next yard and said, "Miss Han, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Han Qianluo looked at him and asked.

"These days, more and more people come to the store to order paper, which has doubled several times than usual. Now the paper we make is completely out of supply. I think we should recruit a group of people to work."

Thinking of what happened before, Han Qianluo felt a little nervous, so he didn't answer right away.But Yu Wenxuan saw her worries and said: "Although it is possible for others to steal the method, if you rely on your own family, you will never make a lot of money, you can only fill your stomach, and competition is inevitable. , never escaped."

Han Qianluo suddenly felt that she might not be able to make a lot of money on her own, and she also thought of the huge amount of money her elder brother would need to spend on recuperating his body, so she nodded: "Then let's hire someone."

"I think we should recruit long-term workers, so that those talents will not be easily distracted." Yu Wenxuan said.

But Han Qianluo is unwilling to think so. She feels that it is very stressful to bear the livelihood of so many people, so she is more willing to hire part-time workers, but part-time workers are easy to be bought by people with ulterior motives, or She mixed in, and finally she thought for a while before saying, "I'm worried what if I can't afford the livelihood of so many people in the future?"

"Miss Han, you are really worrying too much. Judging from the current situation, no matter what, such a situation will not happen." Yu Wenxuan persuaded, "And you don't have to sign for too long, just temporarily sign for seven Eight or ten years will do.”

Han Qianluo was in a cold sweat, seven or eight years or ten years is not too long, if it takes longer, it would be almost a lifetime, but she finally decided to say: "Let's recruit long-term workers, let's find someone together. After a pause, remembering to put the lights on at night, he asked casually, "Are you going to put the lights on tonight? There will be no night ban in the city tonight."

"I watch it every year, and there is nothing to see, so I won't go this year." Yu Wenxuan said indifferently, then stood up and said, "Then I'll go to work." After finishing speaking, he left this place courtyard.

Han Qianluo didn't think much about it, and continued to pick the cotton thread. After a while, he suddenly realized that maybe Yu Wenxuan didn't want to go, but was just worried that he would be ridiculed if he met someone he knew before, just like the one who came here deliberately last time The fat man who laughed at him.

Han Qianluo and the others didn't go to the city to light up the lights at night. Although there will be no night ban and the city gates will not be closed that night, their home is still too far away from the city, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth, so they didn't go.

The next morning, Han Sanwei was going to study at the Master's place, and of course he had to pay this year's Shu Xiu. Han Qianluo hadn't thought of this before, because she wasn't called Shu Xiu before, so She hadn't realized this problem all this time, and now she suddenly remembered it.

Han Qianluo ate breakfast in twos and twos, took the money and went out with two other people. She decided to accompany Han Sanwei to hand over Shu Xiu first, and then went to find the long-term worker with Yu Wenxuan.

Regarding Han Sanwei's Master's House, Han Qianluo went there once at the beginning, and now he has completely forgotten how to leave that Master's House, but fortunately, Han Sanwei is very familiar with it, so he followed Sanwei to Master's House soon .

The door of the master's house was open, and Han Qianluo and the others could walk in directly, but to be polite, she knocked on the door lightly to signal the people inside.

Hearing the knock on the door, the young master hurried over and said with a smile, "You guys are here, come in quickly, and the class will start when everyone is here."

Han Qianluo hurriedly took Shu Xiu out, and said embarrassingly, "I'm really sorry, I was supposed to come two days ago, but I forgot about something at home." Forget about calling Shu Xiu.

The master is not a person who cares about these trivial matters, so he accepted Shu Xiu and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, when everyone is in a hurry, Sanwei can go in and sit down."

Han Qianluo patted his fourth brother on the shoulder and said, "Come in, I'm leaving too." Then he said to his master and left with Yu Wenxuan.

Walking in the small alley, Han Qianluo turned around and asked the person walking behind her, "Where do you think we should go to recruit long-term workers, the woman from last time, or somewhere else?" , she believed that Yu Wenxuan must be clearer than her.
