Nongmen fierce wife, this king depends on you

Chapter 103 Burning Kiln 2
There are pheasants, wild boars, bamboo rats, mushrooms, and fish at home, and some ingredients and side dishes are also bought.

Therefore, Mingpeng came back early.

The snail meat was relatively expensive and troublesome to prepare, so she didn't let it serve.

So Mingpeng bought some beef back, and then there were eggs, silver mushrooms, flour, eggplant, beans, cucumbers and other basic dishes.

She planned to have ten bowls per table. Of course, it was all physical work, and the bowls were all oversized.

What's more, she only had this rice for this meal, and she cooked almost [-] catties, and added another [-] catties of rice to the budget.

"Aunt Liu, is the water ready?"

Seeing that everyone was busy, Xia Mujin brought over the soaked mung beans from last night, and seeing that the water in the pot was boiling, she asked.

"Dongzi, the water is boiling, is it alright?"

The village head Yang Dadong asked her to burn the water, probably for pork. Seeing Xia Mujin, she asked Yang Dadong who was scalding pig hair with iron tongs.

Yang Dadong came over and took a look, then nodded, biting a wire in his mouth, maybe he didn't talk, but he brought a big wooden barrel over, pointed to the pot and pointed to the barrel.

Aunt Six understood immediately, and called Sister Yanzi, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law poured hot water into the wooden bucket.

At this moment, Xia Mujin brought a small bucket of clear water, and seeing that the pot was empty, she poured the water into it, and then went back to fetch the water. In this way, she poured four buckets of water before putting down the bucket with some panting.

Then drain the mung beans and pour them directly into the pot.

"Hijin, are you cooking mung bean porridge again?"

Aunt Six looked at the mung beans in the pot with some distress, and asked Xia Mujin.

This mung bean is two or three times more expensive than rice, and they have never been reluctant to eat it, but this girl is not worth it because of the bricks that make bricks.

After all, it is not easy to earn this money, and it can be said that she paid for it with her life, but it is so kind to herself and the villagers, so good that she feels guilty and distressed.

Looking at her reluctance, Xia Muzhen smiled gratefully, and said: "Auntie, everyone earns hard-earned money. If I suffer from heatstroke or something happens, I will have to feel guilty for the rest of my life. Besides, in this way, everyone will remember En Yuxin, I, Xia Mujin, will be able to find someone to help me in the future!"

Seeing Aunt Six giving her a thumbs up, Xia Mujin smiled, and went to prepare salted ginger water with an empty bucket.

He also asked Ming Peng to buy two catties of brown sugar, and he also prepared a bucket of brown sugar water by the way. When Ming came in, he stopped him and said, "Brother Ming, please help me carry these to the kiln. I am so busy." After a long time, everyone must be thirsty."

Seeing this, Ming Yi readily picked up two buckets and walked towards the kiln.

Xia Mujin gave some instructions to the other aunts, and ran over when she saw that her mother was also helping.

"Mom, you just need to take care of the children. They are still young, and there are hot water knives everywhere, so as not to hurt them by mistake."

Some couples came to help, and some aunts brought their grandchildren at home. Xia Mujin asked them to bring all the children. Four years old, the older ones are probably sensible, so they didn't bring them here, maybe because they saw so many people, they all hid in the corner.

There are many people in the family today, coming and going, it is inevitable that they will not pay attention, besides, this thing is moving around, and I am afraid of bumping into it, and my mother has a big belly, so she is not at ease, so she made an excuse .

Hearing this, Aunt Xia patted her forehead and said: "Look at my memory, children are important, children are important."

As she spoke, she walked towards the children, and she didn't know what she had said to the children, but all the children showed longing expressions and followed their mothers to the side.

Xia Mujin shook her head and smiled, then went to look at the mung bean porridge.

"Jin'er, come and see if this porridge is ready."

Aunt Six was getting up at the moment, perhaps it was Uncle Da Dong who urged her to use hot water again, when she saw Hibiscus coming, she stirred it in the pot with a wooden spoon a few times, and then said out loud.

Xia Mujin walked over quickly, took a look at the wooden spoon, nodded, then found two big wooden buckets, and poured the hot mung bean porridge into the wooden buckets with the cooperation of Aunt Six and Uncle Dadong .

This wooden bucket is extra large, one bucket is enough to hold a hundred catties, Xia Mujin couldn't carry it, Mingpeng waited by the side when he came back, seeing her and that aunt carrying the big pot, he was so frightened that he didn't fall down Well, if it was burning, the boss would have to pull out a layer of skin on him when he came back, but he was still a step too late and didn't help her, but fortunately nothing happened.

Seeing the two buckets steaming hot, he rushed over, one in each hand, and said, "I'll send it over!"

Xia Mujin was a little surprised at his arm strength, but quickly took out a pole, and was about to speak when he saw him carrying two buckets and striding away without breathing.

"Ah, Jin'er, what did this child eat to grow up, why is he so strong and not fat!"

Seeing Aunt Six, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. She didn't come back to her senses until there was a crackling sound in the pot, and hurriedly added water to the pot. There was only a whistling sound, and there was a puff of black smoke from the pot, but Aunt Six was Then he patted his chest in fear.

This pot was borrowed from Hibiscus, if it burns out, it will cost a lot.

Xia Mujin smiled, then took a basket of bowls and chopsticks, and then took a wooden spoon and walked towards the kiln.

By the time she arrived, four roads had already been laid, which was relatively slow, but they were pretty good for a first-timer.

She put the basket next to the wooden barrel, put the wooden spoon into the wooden barrel, looked up at the sky, and guessed that it should be around 10:30 at the moment, but the place where she was standing was the only big tree she left behind. Poplar, this poplar is so big that it fully covers half of the sky here.

Mingpeng was next to them, and behind them was a big wooden basin, which was filled with water. The water was very clear. Xia Mujin reached into it and tried it. It was very cold. It must have just been released from the river, or it might be They are ready to drink.

She asked Mingpeng to put the bucket of mung bean porridge into the wooden basin. After seeing the sweating crowd, she waited for a while and then said loudly, "Everyone, come and drink some mung bean porridge. It may be a bit hot, so you can take a rest."

The conditions at home are not good, and one by one came out early in the morning. At this moment, they are indeed hungry, and they just drank salt and ginger water to cushion their stomachs. They heard that there was mung bean porridge. Everyone was very surprised. His generosity is even more admirable.

They can't eat this thing all year round.

Erdan and the others got used to it by then, wiped off the sweat, put down the tools in their hands and walked over here.

Xia Mujin took the lead to fill a bowl and walked towards her brother.

Then he went around the kiln again, looked here, looked there, and finally said to the resting people: "Everyone has worked hard, it is very good, but please masters, please make this brick tighter, after all, the brick now There is also moisture, and when the moisture dries up during firing, the bricks will become smaller, and when the gaps inside are too large, they will not be firm.”

Xia Mujin tried not to speak so harshly, and was very tactful. After all, the gap between the bricks is really big, and it might fall down. If she said that, everyone would definitely be more nervous. It can be seen that this Brother Er Dan was very reliable in his work, and the people he invited were honest and not good at speaking, but when Xia Mujin said this, the hand holding the bowl stopped.

Xia Mujin was kind and generous, and even let them take their children to eat at home. They couldn't harm her because of their negligence.

Besides, it was obvious that such a serious mistake had been made, not only did she not blame them or scold them, she even said please so politely, which made all the big men feel ashamed.

Besides, people from the Wang family came to watch the joke just now, and so did the Zhou family. The height of the kiln is more than ten meters, and it takes skill to build it up brick by brick, but she is so relieved to leave the matter to them Do.

The group of people looked at each other, quickly finished the mung bean soup in their hands, and started to work.

However, they moved bricks one by one until it seemed as if they had been glued by cement, and they couldn't move half a minute with their hands before they moved another brick.

Seeing this, Xia Mujin was very moved, and with a flick of her sleeves, she joined their team.

Seeing this, everyone worked harder.

Ming Yi and Ming Peng also joined them.

Seeing that everyone was proficient, and that the previous four-way bricks were finished, Xia Mujin clapped her hands and left with confidence.

After returning home, she didn't stay idle, but started to cook the only dish she was going to cook today. This dish is called flour paste, which is also a must-have dish for every banquet in her modern hometown.

The first is to add water to the flour and stir it. The water should be thinner, just like clear porridge. Because there is only one dish, she cooks it on the stove in her house.

"Miss Hibiscus, do you need a fire?"

Mingyi helped to set the table, and seeing Xia Mujin adding firewood and making troubles by himself, he stepped forward and asked.

"Brother Ming, I happen to be in need of help."

Xia Mujin grinned at him, and was busy with the work at hand again, Ming Yi didn't delay, walked in a few strides and squatted down beside the stove.

Xia Mujin didn't allow them to call her by honorific titles, so they kept calling her like that.

Xia Mujin added water to the pot, then washed the soaked Flammulina velutipes, cut them into two pieces with a knife and put them in a large bowl.

Here, when the water boiled, I added some salt to the roux that I just made and stirred it well, then slowly poured it along the wall of the pot, and stirred in the pot with a large wooden spoon in one hand until the whole thing was bubbling. With a gurgling sound, the silver needle mushrooms were evenly sprinkled in, stirred well, and finally ten eggs were slowly cracked in, and some pepper powder was sprinkled in when it came out of the pan.

She didn't put them in bowls, but in wooden barrels, and when the food was served, she brought over eleven large bowls and filled eleven bowls full.

Ming Yi and Ming Peng helped Duan.

"Miss Hibiscus, what is this?"
