The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 46 Milk
No matter what Han Qianluo thought, Han Shuier's marriage was a foregone conclusion, and she was very satisfied, so they had no choice but to respect her opinion.

Han Shui'er didn't come to help when Han Qianluo was grinding the soymilk that day, and it was still Han Qianluo and Han Qingquan who were busy working together.After making the tofu, Han Qianluo thought about making pastries.

If it was in the past, although it was a bit troublesome to make pastries, it was not difficult, but now it is different. There is nothing, no accurate electronic scale, no electric egg beater, and there are not even many materials. Baking powder Sourdough Butter Cream Yogurt, none of that.

So Han Qianluo was a little annoyed, sitting on a stool thinking about what to do, the cake made without these things would definitely not be very tasty, finally Han Qianluo pondered for a long time, and finally remembered a simple version that she had seen before The cake method is the simplest, and the ingredients are the simplest, just eggs, sugar, flour, and milk.

Well, Han Qianluo knew that he had to buy some milk, but he didn't need to think about it. There would definitely be no milk for sale at this time, so he had to buy a cow by himself.Not enough, then Han Qianluo thought of another question, at this time, will there be cows in this place?

Han Qianluo didn't go out either, and sat on the stool at the door with his chin propped up to make cakes, but in the eyes of outsiders, he looked like he was too idle.

"Xiao Luo, if you have nothing else to do, come and help with spinning." Han Shuier said.

Han Qianluo thought that she had nothing else to do, so she obediently walked over and started spinning. While spinning, she was still thinking about making cakes. She was thinking about how many cakes she could still remember. kind.

Thinking about things in my heart, the movements of my hands will naturally not be fast, and because I am not very proficient, I will make some mistakes from time to time.Han Qianluo hung the dropped yarn on the spinning wheel again, and was about to continue spinning when he heard Han Shui'er's displeased voice: "You should stop spinning, look at you, the yarn released is almost unusable gone."

Han Qianluo looked down at the yarn she spun. Although it was not very good, it could only be said to be ordinary and not good. Sha, but about the cow, she thinks she should ask her elder brother.

In the evening, Han Sanwei came back from the outside and asked, "Sister San, didn't you say you want to make delicious cakes?" While talking, he consciously walked to the stove to help light the fire.

"Where is it so fast, we still need to find materials." Han Sanwei said as he picked the green vegetables in his hand and put them into another small wicker basket, and then said: "To make delicious Pastry, that still needs a lot of things."

"Sister San, what else do you need?" Han Sanwei asked curiously.

Han Qianluo found out that his younger brother was very persistent in eating and hurting face, and he really had the talent to develop into a foodie.At this time, Han Qingquan came in from the outside, just heard Han Sanwei's words, and asked casually: "What are you talking about?"

"Third sister said to make delicious pastries, but there are some things at home." Han Sanwei answered quickly.

Han Qingquan scooped a ladle of water from the water tank and poured it into a wooden basin, and said with some doubts: "Isn't it enough to make pastries with wheat flour?"

Han Qianluo put the picked green vegetables into the wooden basin, filled the wooden basin with water and began to wash the vegetables, and replied, "It's not that simple. What you only need is wheat flour to make steamed buns instead of cakes." As he spoke, he put the washed dish into the basket next to him, and continued, "I have everything else in the house, but the milk is missing."

"Milk, is it the milk of a cow after giving birth?" Han Qingquan asked.

"Yes, brother, do you know where it is?" Han Qingquan asked while washing the vegetables.

Han Qingquan was very surprised and replied: "Why do you need this thing to make pastries, and isn't that thing eaten by livestock, can people eat it too?"

"Of course it can be eaten, and there are many benefits to eating this thing." Han Qianluo said casually, and then explained the benefits of milk in detail.

Unexpectedly, Han Qingquan just asked in surprise: "How do these Xiaoluo know?"

Han Qianluo was startled, how could he be so careless, what should he do if people doubt him, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what excuse would be appropriate, in an instant, many excuses came to mind, and the most common one was what Dreaming about the white-bearded grandfather and the like, but such an excuse is too fake.

"I met a family once before, and their family drank milk every day. They told me all this." Han Qianluo said, after much deliberation, she still felt that such an excuse was more believable.

Sure enough, when Han Qingquan heard the reason, he believed it and didn't ask any more questions. Of course, it is also very possible that he was just asking casually and didn't really suspect anything.

"The milk that Xiaoluo mentioned will definitely not be sold. You can only buy some from someone who has a cow that has given birth, or buy a cow yourself." Han Qingquan's eyes suddenly became brighter when he said this. faded again
Han Qianluo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized why his elder brother had such a reaction when he mentioned buying a cow. If he bought a cow, he would not have to work so hard every year to cultivate the land, and he would not need to ask others for help.

"Brother, now that we have made money, why don't we just buy a cow?" Han Qianluo said, in fact, he had already decided in his heart that he wanted to buy a cow.

Originally, I thought that Han Qingquan would definitely agree immediately, but unexpectedly, he turned his head and said: "Shui'er is already engaged, so let's save the money and leave it to her as the bottom of the box, so that it won't be looked down upon so much after it's over. .”

"Brother, in such a family, even if you are rich, it will be of no use at all. They will still look down on it, and it will not be of any use at all." Han Qianluo said.

Just based on the side I saw during the day, that family must look down on their Han family because they are nobles, and think that their Han family is a commoner, and it is not a matter of money at all.Besides, Han Qianluo was not willing to give the money he had earned so hard to Han Shuier who was against her everywhere.

The next morning, when Han Qianluo went to Maji Restaurant to deliver tofu, he asked the waiter in the shop where there was cattle for sale.

"Miss, are you going to buy a cow?" the shop waiter asked while weighing the tofu.

"That's right. Originally, I just wanted to buy some milk, but after thinking about it, no one would sell it, so I planned to buy a cow back." Han Qianluo replied with a smile.

At this time, Ma Qiaozhong happened to come over, and upon hearing this, she asked, "What does Miss Han want the cow's milk for?" She asked the waiter in the shop to take the tofu after weighing to the back kitchen.

"I'm going to make a new type of pastry, and I need this thing." Han Qianluo said.

Ma Qiaozhong handed three small strings of copper coins to Han Qianluo: "Miss Han, count it right." Han Qianluo took the copper coins and counted them, then put them in his purse: "No problem."

"If Ms. Han wants to buy cattle, she can go to the North Gate. There is a market dedicated to selling livestock. There should be cattle that Ms. Han needs." Ma Qiaozhong said.

After thanking Han Qianluo, he left Maji Restaurant and went to Dongshi to set up a stall. The business was as good as ever, and it was sold out soon. Since he was going to buy cattle at the North Gate, Han Qianluo didn't dare to delay any longer, so he started Pack your things and prepare to leave.

At this time, a young woman came over and stood in front of her booth and asked, "Miss, is there any more tofu?"

"It's sold out today." Han Qianluo replied, not caring, and continued to pack things.

"Is there really none at all?" The young woman asked still unwillingly.

Only then did Han Qianluo raise his head to take a look at this woman. She looked ordinary, but her clothes were not ordinary. Wearing fine silk clothes, she was not ordinary at first glance.

"I'm really sorry, there are indeed none." Han Qianluo said apologetically.

The woman seemed very anxious, turned around twice, and whispered in her mouth: "What can I do?" Then she said beggingly: "Girl, can you make a little now, I will pay three times as much." How about the price?"

Han Qianluo didn't speak for a while, and the woman then said: "I know that my request is a little too much, but my old lady has always been in poor health. In the past two days, I finally fell in love with eating this tofu made by your family. I didn't expect that today After a delay, it was sold out."

"Maji Restaurant in West Market also has tofu dish, you can buy it there." Han Qianluo thought for a while, and finally replied like this.

But the young woman didn't move, she stood there and asked a little worriedly: "Is it also the girl who did it here?"

"Yes, it's the same." After Han Qianluo finished speaking, he packed up his things, ignored the woman, and left.

It took a long time for Han Qianluo to finally reach the north gate. The city wall at the north gate has been completely repaired, and it looks really tall and majestic, full of momentum.

However, Han Qianluo didn't pay too much attention to these. She focused all her attention on searching the market, and finally saw a small market next to the north gate. She also built a wall to surround it, and there were officers and soldiers guarding the gate. , but these officers and soldiers did not conduct interrogation on the people who entered, or charge fees or anything.

Before Han Qianluo went in, he smelled a strong stench. The stench of all kinds of livestock mixed together was very unpleasant. Once he entered the market, the smell became stronger. Han Qianluo felt that I was about to suffocate, and vowed not to come unless necessary in the future.

"Girl, what are you going to buy?"
