Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 210

When old Qintou waited for others to go, he told Zhang Shi that Qin Sanshun and his second and third aunts were fanning the flames, and Zhang's family was like a stack of lit firewood, and it burned up.She rushed into Xiuyao's house in one breath, and shouted to Xiuxian: "Erman, you are going to rebel, your grandpa said, you dare to talk back." She didn't dare to bully Liu, but her granddaughter still rushed Pretentious.

Seeing this, Xiuyao immediately went up to meet her. Now she and her mother are more capable of dealing with Mrs. Zhang.Xiuyao said: "Mama, what my second sister means is that you and my grandfather are getting old, so stop working, divide the family quickly, and have fun all day long. Anyway, there are my father and two Dada is taking care of it, and you don’t have to do any work.”

Mingming and Xiuxian were not talking about the same thing, Zhang still wanted to say it, but Xiuyao said again: "Nurse, you divide the family, you can follow whoever you want, or you can stay with my grandfather, and then each family will be together every year. How much money and food are given to you, if you want to eat stewed meat, you can stew meat, if you want to eat stewed chicken, you can stew chicken. You don’t have to worry about who is lazy and greedy, who eats what. You can eat it yourself.”

Having said that, Mrs. Zhang thought of her second sister-in-law, and couldn't help being a little moved, but the old man said that the second and third bedrooms are not enough now, and if they are separated, they are afraid they will starve to death.He had to make plans for them first, let the big house pull them in to make a sum of money and help them, and then they could divide the family.

"Mummy, isn't there a common saying? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't be a horse and an ox for your children and grandchildren. You and my grandfather are so old, why don't you take a good rest, what are you doing? You don't do anything, I We are raising you and grandpa, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food, isn’t that good? You can wear new clothes and eat leek pancakes casually, and my second mother will take care of them only for greedy eyes.”

Xiuyao carried out the second grandma again, this was also Zhang's heart disease, she just wanted to live a better life than the second grandma.

Zhang's heart became alive again, and she kept muttering in her heart.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was not as angry as when she came here, Xiuyao said, "Nurse, you will have a grandson-in-law and a grandson-in-law in the coming year. How can you still work at such an old age? Look at my grandparents." Mother, I just give instructions all day long, so I don’t have to do anything at all.”

Mrs. Zhang muttered, "How can I have the blessing of your grandma?"

Xiuyao said with a smile: "My grandma is blessed, it's because my grandma doesn't want to meddle in her own business."

Mrs. Zhang was moved, and asked, "Then how much will you give me a year?"

Xiuyao said lightly: "I think we can pay as much as the second aunt and the third aunt give, but don't worry, you will know that my mother is well after the family is separated, and I will definitely give you double." She turned around and walked in. House, ignore Zhang.She didn't really want to show kindness to Zhang Shi, but she just wanted to rescue the second sister. Since Zhang Shi's attention was diverted, she naturally didn't bother to talk any more.

Mrs. Zhang originally wanted to settle the score with Xiuxian, but Xiuyao said that she had lost her mind and went back to tell Lao Qintou that she wanted to separate the family.Now that the big house has been divided, it is better to divide it completely.Now that she can still do it, she asks her sons to give her money. She cooks for herself and eats whatever she wants. After two years, when she can’t cook anymore, she will let her sons take care of her.

Old Qintou was not willing to listen to her, instead he scolded her, scolded her for being short-sighted and not thinking about the future of the old Qin family, and made Mrs. Zhang so angry that he refused to pay attention to him for several days.

After a few days, the cellar at home was dug, and a ladder was set up to go down. Everything was placed in it, which was very convenient.Qin Dafu and Qin Ye took turns sleeping and watching the scene.

Now it is no longer a straw hut, but three small rooms, one of which is full of kangs, one for storing things, and a small hall for tables and chairs.

With no other work, Liu Shi and Xiuqin took Xiurong to do needlework at home, but Xiuxian refused and went to work in the workshop as usual.

During this period, Jing Liang came again, paid the previous payment, and bought another hundred catties of melon seeds and fifty catties of blessing beans on credit.Xiuyao took it as a favor to him, and only gave him credit.Jing Liang was naturally grateful.

This day Xiuyao said to Qin Ye: "Brother, let's go to grandma's house to make vermicelli."

As Xiuyao said before, making vermicelli for grandpa to watch, she thinks it's better to go to grandpa's mill.Qin Ye naturally agreed, and told his father to feed the pigs on time, and cover them with straw thatch when it was cold.Although the pig shed in the farm is not as good as my grandfather's house, it is covered with grass thatch to keep warm in winter, and there are vegetable shelves to cool off in summer.It's just that the pigsty is not that good, it's a bit shabby and needs to be cleaned from time to time.

Naturally, Qin Dafu didn't need his son to tell him too much, he would definitely do a good job, besides feeding the piglets well, keeping them warm and ventilated, he also had to shear sheep and rabbit fur to sell.In addition, the sheep also gave birth to lambs, and the rabbits also hugged their lambs, and they all needed to be taken care of.

Xiuyao and Qin Ye drove the donkey cart to the old Qintou's house. Now it was slack time, but the mill was even more busy.Every household is preparing flour for the New Year, and they line up to grind at Liujia Mill, and more and more people from the city come here to buy noodles.

Old Liutou was very happy to see them, and said to Xiuyao: "Boss Wang said that Feng's grain store has reduced prices. Hey, it means that our business is doing well."

Xiuyao was also happy for her grandfather, "Grandpa, will our business be affected?"

Old Liu said: "It will be more or less accepted, but it is better for him to lower the price, and everyone will benefit accordingly. Anyway, there are so many families, our family can't finish these businesses. I heard people say that they are also building a water mill .”

Water mills are not something to be kept secret, they can be seen almost everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, but the water source here is not so convenient, so many animals are still used.If the Feng family wants to open, of course it is free, and Lao Liutou doesn't take it seriously, after all, one mill can't handle all the businesses.

Liu Sheng came over and said, "The Feng family has gone crazy this year, soliciting troubles everywhere. In the past, they just rented land for people, and then opened a few shops, instead of competing with us common people for business. In the second half of the year, they opened a few shops. There are even noodle shops and roasted seeds and nuts shops.”

Originally, Feng's family had a big grocery store selling all kinds of things, but they were not satisfied, and they even got involved in small business, so many people were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to speak out.

Boss Wang's business was slightly affected, but not too much. After all, the Feng family didn't concentrate on doing this, and their craftsmanship was not good.Originally, the old man of the Feng family was the head of the family, and his energy was mainly concentrated on renting land and opening such profitable shops, such as medicine shops, silk shops, porcelain shops, etc. The grain and oil shop was only opened by him for convenience.

Xiuyao said with a smile: "These are people's freedom. Whoever wants to do it can do it. Let's find another way. My brother and I are here today because we want us to make vermicelli."

Old Liu was interested, so he pushed off all the work in his hand and listened to Xiuyao.Xiuyao told them about the process, and then it was better to choose a day than hit the day, and prepare on the same day.

Xiuyao asked her grandpa to find a few women to help. First, she rubbed the fresh sweet potatoes with a grater, and then there were two young men with machetes to chop the sliced ​​sweet potatoes into small pieces.

Seeing this, Liu Fei said: "Yaoyao, this is too troublesome, I have a solution, you can see if it works."

Xiuyao said with a smile: "Brother, I'm in the middle of my head, and I don't know what to do to save my energy."

Liu Fei: "After wiping the fresh and dried sweet potatoes, let's take them to the milling table, then clean the rollers, and use the rollers to crush them like a beating field."

Xiuyao clapped her hands and applauded: "Brother, you are so smart, this is good, it saves a lot of trouble. Just crush the dried sweet potato, and then put it on the water mill to grind it into a paste."

When Liu Sheng heard this, he immediately went to work. He washed the Luke clean, then put the Luke on the milling table, put it on the donkey, and crushed the fresh sweet potato.

For the crushed dried sweet potatoes, Xiuyao asked someone to grind them with water, and then continued to grind them into a paste. Xiuyao tried it with her hands at any time, and asked to grind it again if it was not crushed enough.

Liu Hongmu also came to help, he looked around curiously, and asked Xiuyao: "Yaoyao, where do you know so much?"

Xiuyao smiled and said, "I read it in the book?" She learned about this method of extracting starch from sweet potatoes to make vermicelli from Nongguang Tiandi's program. After all, she is doing technical support on the farm, so she has to learn more thing.Their farm is an institution integrating production, tourism, vacation, and scientific research.

Liu Hongmu admired it very much, there were so many things in the book, he thought he was just shaking his head like a nerd.

After four days of busy work, I pressed a thousand catties of fresh sweet potatoes, and they all turned into a mush.

On the fifth day, Xiuyao told people not to wipe the sweet potatoes anymore, but put all the paste into a shorter jar, then diluted it with clean water, and kept stirring.

Liu Sheng and a few young men took Xiluo and followed Xiuyao's request, continuously filtered the diluted sweet potato paste, and put the remaining slurry in the tank.

Xiuyao was watching all the time, for half a day, the starch sank to the bottom of the water.Liu Hongmu just watched her try it with her hands for a while, and then tasted it a little bit. It looked very mysterious, so she couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

Xiuyao felt that it was almost time, so she said to Liu Fei, "Brother, tell my grandpa to start scooping water."

Liu Fei called Lao Liutou and Liu Wu to pour out the water in the tank, scoop it up, and slowly left a thick starch under the water.Lao Liutou and the others exclaimed: "Oh, what is this?"

Xiuyao explained with a smile: "Grandpa, this is gorgon powder. The book said how to make cable powder, and that's how it is."

Old Liutou didn't understand books, he asked Liu Fei, "Why don't you know?"

Liu Fei scratched his head, "Grandpa, I said I was stupid."
