I just want to travel fast

Chapter 159 My mother-in-law is omnipotent 19
In the blink of an eye, it has already entered the twelfth lunar month. After Laba, the school has been on vacation, and Li Yaoxian has already returned home.

I took the time to tell him about the ginseng in the early morning. Li Yaoxian was still calm, but he walked with a limp when he went back to study.

The cabbages and radishes in the field are ready to be harvested. After they are collected, they are all put into the warehouse. When I saw the cabbage, I thought of spicy cabbage in the early morning. Although I can’t make it, I know how to make it. However, the required ingredients are not available, so I had to give up in the early morning. As for sauerkraut. It needs a big tank to store it. I forgot to buy it when I went to the market. It was not worth the trip. I planned to make it next year in the early morning, but now I am busy making soy beans in the early morning.

So she found a day with good weather and started to make it. First, she needed to pick plump beans and soak them in water, then cook them in a pot, then remove them to control the moisture, cover them with gauze and put them in a cool place to let her ferment naturally That's fine.

The two daughters-in-law have never done anything before, so they can only watch and start. This Dingxi has no technical content. I believe that next year, I will not need to do it myself.

After more than ten days, the beans will grow a layer of white hair, and once pulled into shreds, it is a success. At that time, cut some cabbage, shredded ginger, and chopped green onion. This is a good dish for rice.

The taste of soy beans may not be used to it at first, and you will find it smelly, and you will feel that it smells like stinky feet, but it will become fragrant after eating it in your mouth. It is just like stinky tofu and durian, it smells stinky and tastes good.

On the day of Xiaonian, the pig butcher from the next door village came to the village to collect pigs, and sold the pigs at home that had grown to 200 catties in the early morning.

After only half a year of feeding, it has already grown like this. If it takes a year, it will not be fatter. I want to ask if I feel guilty about selling pigs in the early morning?Answer, no.

Because the pig had to keep half of it for home use or as a gift, it was only sold for 2 taels of silver, which is not bad.

The rabbits are also disposed of, and new ones will be raised next year. The main reason is that the winter is too cold and there is nothing to feed them.

The leeks kept in the wooden box can also be eaten, so she plans to cut some at night in the new year and eat them as a rarity.

As for the early morning, she was smearing honey on the Stove Lord's mouth, which is many times more advanced than maltose. She hoped that the Stove Lord would say more good things after he goes to heaven, and her family would be more prosperous in the coming year.

In the evening, a table of dishes was prepared, and the family gathered together to have a meal. The scrambled eggs with leeks was more popular than the meat dishes. After the meal, everyone went to bed early and got up early to go to the county town to purchase new year's goods tomorrow.

There are a lot of things to buy this time. You must prepare rice with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as candy and snacks, fabrics, charcoal fire, wine, and tea. I bought a lot of them.

The next day, only Ms. Zhou was left at home to look after the house and take care of the children. Everyone else went out. There were too many things to buy. In the early morning, Li Dazhu asked Li Dazhu to borrow a bullock cart. After thinking about it in the early morning, he bought the leeks and garlic sprouts from the wooden box. Cut a crop and bring it up, and then sell it to Jufulou. This is a luxury in winter when there are no vegetables.

Sure enough, the price of these two small handfuls of green vegetables was sold for a tael of silver, a hundred times higher than in summer.

Shopkeeper Li got these two handfuls of fresh vegetables, but he was reluctant to eat them. He sent them to the state capital with other New Year gifts overnight, and sent them to the home of Li Songyan, the right servant. It turned out that shopkeeper Li was Li Songyan's slave. He was old. So he returned to his hometown to retire, and Li Songyan gave him a restaurant to take charge of. It didn't matter whether he made more or less.

Fortunately, it's cold now, so the food doesn't go bad easily. When it arrived at Li Songyan's house, it was only a little wilted.

When the housekeeper saw such rare things in the New Year's gift, he immediately returned to Li Songyan. When Li Songyan found out, he quickly asked the kitchen to make a dish of bacon with garlic sprouts and a dish of eggs with leeks and send them to his wife's house.

My mother suffered from a cold after the winter. After she recovered, everything she ate tasted tasteless, so she wanted to eat some vegetables. But in this winter, there are radishes and cabbages. Where can I find these vegetables?

Mother Li looked at the two greens on the dining table, and immediately whetted her appetite. She actually ate a big bowl of rice. If she wasn't stopped by the servants, she could continue to eat.

Strange to say, after Mother Li ate this, her appetite gradually improved and returned to the same level as before.

This Li Songyan is also a filial person. He has lost several pounds because his old mother can't eat, and now he can finally feel relieved.

He found shopkeeper Li, rewarded him generously, and then told him that if he still had any leftovers, he would send them directly to his house, and he would not treat him badly.

Shopkeeper Li returned to Zhenyuan County. He thought about it and decided to go find Li Dazhu in two days.

After the Little New Year, I started to get busy, frying various kinds of meatballs, radish, tofu, meat, and making various kinds of steamed buns. This time I made a message in the early morning. This time, they were all made of white flour. In the past, during the New Year, they were only given to the ancestors. We only use white flour for food, and this year we all eat white flour. I have ginseng, and I am not short of money.

26 On this day, three New Year’s gifts were prepared in the early morning. Tian’s and Zhou’s natal families prepared the same ones, including meat, fish, pastries, some dried vegetables, chestnuts and walnuts. Husband and wife to send.

The other was to replace the dried vegetables with mint tea and give it to the third child to deliver to Mr. Liu in the school. In March next year, the third child will take the imperial examination, so there must be a lot of trouble for the teacher.

As for why mint tea was given, it was also requested by the third child. He said that he gave the wife a little of the can he brought. The wife drank it very well and said that she was very clear-headed when writing the article.

It was too cold, so neither the eldest nor the second child brought their children with them. They played and teased the baby at home in the early morning. Xiaoxi was having fun at this time, so he didn't cry when he got annoyed.

In the afternoon, the sons all returned home, and in the early morning, they ordered the boss to bring some snacks and ran away from the relatives in the village.

When the third child came back, he told Chen Chen that his wife would come to visit him in the next year, but Qing Chen just took it as a normal walk and didn't take it to heart.

As for my parents’ house in the early morning, no one was there.

29 Early in the morning that day, shopkeeper Li knocked on the door of Chen Chen's house and brought many New Year gifts to Chen Chen.

Then they explained the purpose of coming, and the two sides agreed to come to pick up vegetables every half a month, two handfuls each time, one tael of silver per handful, no matter what kind of vegetables, until the vegetables in the field are on the market.

Shopkeeper Li didn't leave empty-handed, he cut a crop of leeks early in the morning, and the family has already saved what he needs to use.

In the afternoon, I asked my boss to make a few more wooden boxes, and she planted all kinds of vegetables. In order to save space, she also built a wooden shelf to put in the kitchen.

On the [-]th day, the eldest and the second child were killing chickens in the yard, the two daughters-in-law were preparing dinner, and the third child was writing Spring Festival couplets. Although their own family could not post them, many others came to ask for them.

In the early morning, I waited for the chicken to be killed and stripped of its feathers. After the feathers were cleaned up, I had to pose the chicken and steam it in a pot, and then put it on the altar table.

A fried fish, some snacks, candies, walnuts, peanuts and the like have been placed on the altar table. Then there is room to put the "corners" in the evening when the ancestors are worshiped in the new year.

As for what "Jiao'er" is, you might as well take a guess.
