Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 103 Great Harvest, Another Earth Recipe (2)
So she inquired about the wages of the parents of the big families in Longquan County. When she learned that there were only ten yuan a day, she immediately decided to increase it by five times and give the women who came to work fifty yuan a day. After going back today, the men in the family can't look down on them.

When paying wages, Tian Liusu explained how the exact amount of wages was calculated. When they learned that they could get [-] Wen for [-] days of work, they were so happy that they almost thought that their ears had something wrong.

The villagers were as excited and pleasantly surprised as they were when the farm house was built. At this time, they were both grateful and ashamed of Tian Liusu. They were grateful that she could detect their thoughts, and ashamed because of what they had done to Tian Liusu. Grass flower and sweet-scented osmanthus are the longest ones.

When the two were receiving their wages, they held the [-] Wen coins they had received. Their hands trembled and they could barely hold the money. They lowered their heads deeply. Tian Liusu's heart was like a mirror. I don't know what they think?

Therefore, people who have enmity with themselves should be punished according to their own conditions. Abusing them is not necessarily the best punishment. Sometimes using tolerance to understand them can poke their hearts.

The reason why Tian Liusu treats them like this and let them work is also out of this consideration. They are just village women, not bad in nature, nor are they scheming and tricky, so she uses such a method to make them realize One's own good, so that he will never stand in a hostile situation with her forever.

"The wages have been paid, and tomorrow I can dig the sweet potatoes in the field. If you are not busy at home, can you help me dig the sweet potatoes?" Tian Liusu and Xue Ling checked the number of working days and wages and paid them out. I told them this before leaving.

"We're fine, we'll definitely help out tomorrow." The women were about to leave, but they turned back after hearing Tian Liusu's words, and said repeatedly.

"We're fine, we'll help out tomorrow." Caohua Osmanthus also expressed her willingness to help.

"Okay, let's go to the field after breakfast tomorrow."

The reason why Tian Liusu asked the whole village to help them was to let them learn how to dig sweet potatoes. They had seen the transplanting of sweet potatoes last time, so it might not be a problem to talk to them after the seedlings came out next time. Sweet potatoes are also learned. The sweet potatoes dug out by inexperienced people will be shoveled or split, and they will not be round and smooth. Therefore, she asked the villagers to dig sweet potatoes tomorrow. After the sweet potato is served, they will serve it.

Tian Liusu hadn't seen Yunluo for two or three days. I don't know what he was busy with. Although he didn't come, he sent Qingli to tell her every day that he was busy these two days and would come back after he was done. help her.

In fact, she didn't believe it, what could he be busy with?They have all told the court for leave, and there is no war in the court, so what else is there to be busy with?Could it be that she didn't dare to come because she ordered her to do housework for a few days?

In fact, Yunluo choked on the smoke that day when he was lighting a fire at Tian Liusu's house, and sucked the soot in his throat. He returned to the small wooden building and couldn't sleep alone because he was lonely and caught a cold in the middle of the night. He has been sick for the past two days.

Old Liangtou has never seen Yunluo since he left the capital and lived in seclusion here. Although he used to be the head of the Imperial Hospital, he secretly recognized Yunqing as the master, and he had long regarded the people in the Chang'an Palace as his masters, so this time After seeing Yunluo, I was very happy and joyful. Now that Yunluo is ill, he can be considered useful. After Qingli asked him to come over to see Yunluo, he lived in a small wooden building to serve Yunluo. lo.

According to Qingli's intention, he wanted to invite Tian Liusu to take care of Yunluo in the small wooden building, but Yunluo stopped him. He knew that Tian Liusu was busy these two days, and it was not a serious problem for him. When Liusu came, not only would he not give him a good face, but would also laugh at him, so he only asked Lao Liangtou to make medicine for himself every day, and asked Qingli to go to Hetian Liusu to report that he had been there all the time.

In the early morning of the second day, Qin Baozhu led several servants from the Qin family village to Tian Liusu's house. They brought their own shovels and hoes and waited for Tian Liusu to go to the field together.

Tian Liusu didn't understand the calendar calculations of the Tianqi Dynasty, but he just thought that the Chinese New Year should be coming soon, so he got up early this morning and asked Xue Ling, Xue Ling thought for a long time before remembering that today is "Laba".

"Laba" was considered a big festival in ancient times, similar to Lidong. The royal family and rich families would hold "La Ba Festival" on this day. The La Ba Festival would offer sacrifices to the God of Valley, cook Laba porridge and offer prayers to the God of Agriculture, begging for good weather and a good harvest in the coming year. , and the folks say that they have to eat "Laba porridge".

So after Qin Baozhu and the others arrived, Tian Liusu asked them to stay at home first, and she and Xue Ling took a basket to the town to buy Penglai rice, glutinous rice, peanuts, red dates, lotus seeds and other ingredients and came back to cook Laba porridge. After eating, she went to dig the sweet potatoes in the field. She thought to herself that something was wrong. The sweet potatoes could have been dug a few days ago, but it took a few days to make the poria cocos paste. It was auspicious to dig it just in time for Laba today. day.

She is good at cooking Laba porridge. In her previous life, she was alone and had no love from her parents since she was a child. She had to do everything by herself, so her ability to cook and do housework has always been relatively strong.

When cooking Laba porridge, there are strict proportions of ingredients. Penglai rice accounts for 40.00%, glutinous rice accounts for 30.00%, and sugar, peanuts, red beans, red dates, etc. account for a total of 30.00%.

The so-called "five flavors are blended, and hundreds of flavors are fragrant." When cooking porridge, wait for the water to boil, then put in peanuts, red beans, and red dates to cook. After the pot is boiled, add Penglai rice and glutinous rice. Then you can start the pot.

When she was cooking the porridge, Qin Baozhu and his servants were gathered around the stove, and they were drooling at the smell of the fragrant porridge. After it was out of the pot, before Tian Liusu could speak, Qin Baozhu couldn't wait to take a bowl and squat Seeing him doing this while eating outside, An An and Le Lele followed suit, and asked Xue Ling to scoop porridge for the two of them and squat beside Qin Baozhu to eat together.

Tian Liusu left the pot outside to cool for a long time before bringing it back, and scooped out a bowl for each of the family members to eat. After all, this is a festival, so they can't let their family eat and let Ji Ding watch eagerly.

She scooped up half a bowl for Xue Linghu to let him eat too. These days, her toxins have been slowly cleared, and there are already some chaotic memories in her mind. These days, she sleeps every day. Not good, always falling asleep and being woken up by disturbing memories, and when I wake up, recalling the things in my mind, but it is disorganized and I can't remember anything.

Xue Linghu has been insisting on taking blood for her these days and has become a lot emaciated. It moves less and less, and nests in the leather mattress all day long. Only when An An and Le Le tease her, she reluctantly gets up to play with them for a while Tian Liusu made delicious food for it in different ways every day, and he never left the meat. One day, Xue Linghu gesticulated to her, and she watched it for a long time before she understood what it meant. It's very happy.
