Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 43

After noon that day, Wanwan moved the stone nest to the center of the yard, a slanted shadow of himself was reflected on the ground, and his body was also warm.

She looked up, the sky was clear, and at some point the clouds and mists had cleared away, and the sun showed her face.

It's a nice day!

Turning around, he gave Baishou a basket full of fresh chili peppers, and then took a stick and stuffed it to Laisheng.When the two went down the mountain to the river.She just moved the stool, sat by the stone nest, grabbed a handful of cooked peppercorns and threw them into the stone nest, and began to hammer and grind them.

Wash the peppers, and Baishou and the other two carried them back with sticks so as not to wet their clothes.

When the two arrived home, Wanwan had just tried a hammer to grind a little prickly ash powder, she lifted the cloth covering the stone nest, and a numbing smell wafted out.

The powder is a bit harsh, but it's pretty good.She poured the pepper powder into the prepared dry cloth bag.

Baishou knew that this was the prickly ash powder his daughter-in-law was talking about.

He was very curious in his next life, and when he saw things thrown in one after another, they turned into powder in a short while, and they could still emit a numb scent. He suddenly found it very interesting, and he couldn't resist, so he had to step aside and tell him how to hammer and grind peppercorns. method.Standing on the side to make sure that he will, he went to the kitchen to take out the knife, poured some water, and poured the washed peppers on Baishou's prepared chopping board.

After a while, Baishou and Father Yuanbao came up carrying the stone mill.

There was no mill at home, so they had to borrow it from Yuan Bao's house, but Bai Shou stood at the door and just said what he wanted, and before Yuan Bao's father could speak, Grandma Yuan Bao who was sitting in the yard agreed.He also asked Daddy Yuanbao to help carry it back.But Yuanbao's house happened to have a new stone mill, so he asked Baishou not to return it in the future, and he didn't want his money.

Baisong is a surprise and surprise, thank you very much.

After Wanwan found out, he thanked Father Yuanbao again.Seeing Yuan Bao's father looking at the pile of peppers on the chopping board, he explained with a smile: "... I plan to grind these into sauce, and then dry it to eat."

Daddy Yuanbao is different. When Baishou said they wanted to grind beans, he thought they were grinding beans. He had tasted chili peppers, which were found in the dishes made by Wanwan a few times before. What is the smell.

"...The method is quite simple. If Auntie Yang is interested, I can teach her." Yuan Bao's parents are easy-going people, and she would like to make friends with such people more.It doesn't matter if you reveal your little secret recipe.

As soon as Dad Yuanbao left, Wanwan started making red sauce. There was no special equipment for making sauce, so he could only use a stone mill. After cutting the chili into small pieces, he added fresh chili, so it was easy to grind.

Fill the chili slices into the mill with a bend, and push the mill. After the first time, there are still some unground chili skins in the thick sauce, and then pour it into the stone mill for the second time, and repeat until the requirements are met. The sauce should not be too thick, nor too thin.

In the previous life, when Wanwan was a child in the countryside, he only saw people push the mill once to grind beans. At that time, he thought this thing was very interesting, and pulp would come out after two turns.Nai Heren is small and not strong enough, the mill can't move it.Thinking of this, I suddenly had an urge to try it.

"Let me try." Wanwan stood beside him eagerly.

Baishou got out of the way, stood by the side, and bent over with all his strength, the stone mill was pushed, and it didn't make half a turn, and she was already terribly tired.Baishou is a caring husband, he took out the coarse cloth handkerchief that Wanwan sewed for him from his arms and gently wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and said with distress and distress: "Daughter-in-law, this is hard work, let me do it !"

Wanwan raised her small face and smiled at him. If she pushes it a little longer, maybe she will sweat all over her body, which is considered exercise.

The bright eyes are clear and translucent, very beautiful.The red Pupu's face is so alluring that he can see his own face in the eyes of his wife.

Baishou's face was slightly hot.

He really likes his wife's eyes... and her little face... her voice, everything about her...

Baishou was silently and joyfully thinking about his wife's happiness, when he was bumped suddenly, his hand was empty, and the stone mill started to spin quickly.

Wanwan stood aside, dumbfounded.

In the next life, he pushed the stone mill and giggled non-stop. Usually, what was ground was white pulp, but what this mill produced was red sauce. He thought it was amazing.The more you push, the more fun you get.

And Baishou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud yell in the yard.One was chasing after with a cane, and the other ran forward with his head in his arms.

Laisheng jumped out of the yard three times and then ran down the slope.

Wanwan shook his head helplessly, he was afraid of Baishou, but he wanted to provoke Baishou again.What a self-harm.Sit down and continue to hammer grind the peppercorns.

But after a while, the next life came back again, but it was not one person, but four people followed.

"Is the second sister busy?" Shitou Niang greeted Wanwan with a smile when she was only a few steps away from the yard.

"Yes, sister-in-law Ling, where are you going?" Wanwan responded with a smile, doubts flashed in his eyes, and at the same time smiled at Yuan Baoniang as a greeting.

His eyes swept over Lanhuaniang and Jindanniang who were following behind, their faces were full of strangeness and surprise.

She stood up slowly.

Yuan Baoniang walked in the front. She strode into the yard, glanced at the busy Baishou in the yard with a smile, and said to the bend: "Isn't this here to see if there is anyone who needs our help?"

"That's right, I'm idle at home, so what are you busy with?" Shitou Niang looked at Shiwo with a smile, was startled, then squatted down to take a closer look, smelling a smell of numbness, and hurriedly said: "This is you. That shitty thing you said?"

"Yes." Wanwan nodded with a smile, turned to look at Lan Huaniang and the two who were looking around at the fence, and said, "Will the two sister-in-laws come in and sit down?"

"Hehe...well, well." Lan Huaniang and Jindanniang responded with dry smiles, but they didn't lift their feet towards the yard. They took two steps along the wild flowers at the fence and began to praise: "Second sister, Your yard is so beautiful."

"Yeah, look how well this row of flowers and plants grow..."

Shitou Niang in the yard turned her back to the two of them, while Yuan Baoniang quietly moved to the side of Wan Wan, and whispered in a low voice: "I just met these two when I went out, and I have to follow like a follower." He pouted and pouted, as if disappointed.

"Why do you have to hammer it into powder?" No longer caring about the two people outside the courtyard, the two sat down and looked at the prickly ash powder in the stone nest in doubt.

"I don't use much powder for cooking, just in case I need it at any time." Turning around, she wanted to hammer some powder for a long time, but she didn't have time, so she said to the two: "You guys make some later. Let's go back!"

"No, I only used a little of what you gave me last time." Yuan Baoniang said.Ever since he made good friends with the two families, Wanwan gave some of the peppers and Chinese prickly ash at home to them, and at the same time told them how to use them.

"Yeah, I've been eating less of these at home, and I only put a little bit in each time. I don't know why it's not as delicious as yours!" Shitou Niang said.

"Yes, yes, when do you have to teach us, so that every time Yuan Bao doesn't smell right." Yuan Baoniang agreed immediately.

Wanwan pursed his lips and smiled: "As long as you want to."

"That is, of course we are willing. I am afraid that you will not be willing to pass on your real skills to us." Yuan Baoniang joked.Shitou Niang laughed.

The three of them were talking and laughing while sitting in the yard, while the two standing outside the yard were very curious and didn't know anything about the bent hammer.

Yuan Bao's father found Yuan Baoniang in the field after going down the mountain, and told her, knowing that the villagers didn't like to go to Baishou's house, so Yuan Bao's father didn't carry the villagers behind his back. , said for the first time that he wanted to come up and take a look together.

Ever since Wanwan's family started selling cakes, not only has their life gradually improved, but now they not only raise pigs, but also bought chickens.The former Yuan Baoniang also went to pick up some money for nothing.

Who doesn't want such a good thing.

Now I heard that grinding sauce, earning money, eating meat, wearing good clothes, and the happiness of children are the goals of rural people's struggle. Today, I have this good opportunity to come and see, and of course the two of them can't give up.

After some ideological struggle, the two finally stepped into the yard.
