Chapter 396 Mid-Autumn Festival

Second update, please find the latest chapter of pink.

****……………****

Lian Man'er was overjoyed. Just now, she thought Shen Liu would at least give her 50% off on her request. After all, if you want to promote corn, you may not be able to say it. You must be a human display of food for life, military rations, feed for war horses, or fine food. Once corn is promoted, seeds become the most important thing. Where to promote it and how to promote it, let alone her, even Shen Liu, may not have the power to make the final decision.

Lian Man'er was even mentally prepared, and Shen Liu left nothing for her.

As a result, Shen Liu not only fully agreed to her request, but also agreed to leave 300 kilograms of corn that could not be kept for her.

When he returned to the shop, Shen Liu ordered someone to pack up. Zhang Qianhu moved the corn onto the carriage. Without Shen Liu's instructions, Zhang Qianhu kept the corn that he promised to Lian Man'er as many as possible. In addition, Zhang Qianhu took away several trucks of corn stalks.

It was getting late, and Shen Liu and his people left in a hurry. Even Chen Qian had only had time to say a few words to Lian Man'er, and the servants were carried onto the carriage.

After everyone left, Lian Man'er's family returned to the threshing farm.

"More than 10,000 kilograms, I have seen this old lot of grain for the first time over the years. This is the yield of twenty acres of land..." Lian Shouxin sighed.

"Not. This corn is really a good thing. If I ask me, it is better than millet." Zhang said.

Looking at the large area that was empty because the corn was moved away, everyone felt a little happy and a little empty. The joy was because of the high yield of corn. There was so much corn that was pulled away in an instant.

However, this feeling of emptiness was only temporary. Shen Liu didn't say anything before leaving. But whether it was Lian Man'er, Lian Shuxin, Zhang and others, they believed that Shen Liu would not take their things in vain.

It's just a waste. Although they felt a little distressed, if they thought about it carefully, they wouldn't think that Shen Liu did too much.

"The seeds of this corn are given to us. At that time, we sold gold corn, and we earned almost the same money." Even keeping trustworthy and simple, it is easy to be content. "It's just this time. Master Liu didn't leave any for us, so we have nothing to say... Master Liu left us three hundred kilograms of food and one thousand kilograms of seeds for us. Master Liu treated us so much, and he was really nothing to say."

Lian Shouxin was only deeply grateful to Shen Liu.

"Isn't that the reason?" Zhang nodded, "We don't know each other's Sixth Master. There is a difference between heaven and earth. Just this, we have borrowed a lot of people's light."

"Yes." Lian Shouxin nodded.

Lian Man'er just smiled. Shen Liu seemed to treat people very harshly, but after a few contacts, Lian Man'er realized that Shen Liu was definitely a person with clear rewards and punishments. If you do things for him, you will give you what you should give to you without you having to ask for, and he will give you very generously.

Now that Shen Liu took away the corn, he didn't give it to the Lian family on the spot. So if you give it to him later, you will only give it more.

This should be one of the reasons why Shen Liuneng obeyed orders and asked his subordinates to serve him with all their heart, and made the officials who were not directly under his jurisdiction respect him and respect him.

The couple Zhang and Lian Shouxin have simple personalities. They are particularly grateful. They are lucky to meet someone who is clearly divided into two different things like Shen Liu. However, in the Lian family, their personality makes them two soft big buns.

Of course, that's already a thing of the past.

…………

Lian Man'er's family has six people, only two adult laborers, Zhang and Lian Shouxin. They have planted more than 50 acres of land this year, but in the autumn harvest season, they are much easier than when they were not separated last year.

First, the corn from twenty acres of land was packed, and only the corn kernels were left to dry and then the corn kernels were dried. After the drying was done, they were stored in the barn.

As for the remaining millet, sorghum, peanuts, beans, etc., it will take a while to dry before threshing, rising, etc. until the particles return to the warehouse.

"I won't need these jobs this year. At that time, we will hire three short-term workers and I will take them to work. In just a few days, everything will be cleaned up." Lian Shouxin planned this way. Obviously, the words of Wu Yugui and Wang that day touched his heart.

"That's OK." Zhang nodded in agreement.

There must be an adult in the shop. Even if Shuxin has to take short work to do farm work, she has to stay in the shop. Now, under the conditions of the family, they can fully afford the wages of hiring a few short work to do their work. This makes it easy for a few children to save lightly, and she is also willing to do it as a mother.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, and I was planning to wait until the festival was over before doing these tasks.

Wu Jiaxing sent another holiday gift two days in advance.

The first part of the Wu family's holiday gift was a stack of high-quality mooncake gift boxes, including one pound of five-nut, jujube paste-filled mooncakes made from Liaodong Prefecture, and one pound of mooncakes made from lotus paste-filled in Nanhuo Shop, and one pound of mooncakes made from ham, a total of five pounds.

The second one is still the ruler, the autumn-scented poplin, the misty red cotton silk, the water-blue plain satin, and the blue-bottomed red cotton cloth.

There are also two jars of Shaoxing rice, ten kilograms of japonica rice, and ten kilograms of high-quality white flour.

Lian Man'er's family put the work of harvesting autumn aside, and the family began to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional family reunion festival. This Mid-Autumn Festival is also the first Mid-Autumn Festival that Lianman's family has had since their family split, and it is in such a harvest autumn day.

"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, we have to spend it well." Zhang said the first time.

Lian Shouxin nodded with a smile.

If you want to celebrate the festival well, it will naturally be a lot of delicious and fun. Lian Man'er, Lian Zhier, Goro and Xiaoqi naturally have no objection.

However, the food and fun things you eat at home must be put behind for the time being, and the first thing you need to prepare is the tribute.

There are only two families who should be dating for the holiday gifts in Lian Man'er's family.

"What should we give to him during the holidays?" Lian Shouxin said first. Zhang Qingshan is an elder and is particularly concerned about their family. Lian Shouxin is grateful to his father-in-law from the bottom of his heart.

"Give it to my grandfather's house, then it's more affordable. How about rice and white flour?" Lian Man'er said.

The merchants and families travel to and from the same family, mainly for affordability, which is a real relative.

"Then let's have ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of white flour." Zhang said.

"Add two more packs of tea, I think his grandfather loves to drink it. In addition, with two jars of bars, it just makes up for four." Lian Shouxin said, "We are busy, so I'm afraid that people can't go there, so I'd better have someone take the gifts over, how about it?"

"Okay, I will listen to you." Zhang smiled with a smile on his lips.

"This is for my grandfather's house, so what gift will we give to my brother Xing's house?" Lian Man'er sat next to the table, holding a pen to record on paper, and asked again.

"The gifts sent by Jiaxing's family this time are thicker than those on May Day... I told Jiaxing's mother last time that the gifts are just that. We are real relatives, and we have a heart, which is better than anything else." Zhang sighed softly and said.

Although he sighed, his expression and tone were all unhidden joy. Not for those things, but for those things, the Wu family valued Lian Zhier and this marriage.

"Mom, give me a gift!" Seeing Zhang a little distracted, Lian Man'er reminded with a smile.

"Yes, give me a gift." Zhang thought for a while, "Didn't Zhier make two pairs of shoes and a set of clothes for Jiaxing? This is the same."

"Send two more hooves." Lian Shouxin said.

"Well, this is the same again." Lian Man'er recorded on the paper, "I think the pomegranate that Manager Wu brought to us from the county town is quite good, and this can be considered the same."

"Yes, pomegranate, this is good." Zhang nodded with a smile, "In addition, I will pick another basket of pickled duck eggs. Jiaxing's child is very interested in eating the pickled duck eggs in our house."

Even Zhi'er didn't say anything. When Zhang heard that, he lowered his head and his face turned a little red.

The main two families have set up their tributes, and the rest is the benefits for the shop’s men.

"Two pounds of pork, one pound of mooncakes, and two pounds of soju." Lian Shouxin said.

"Dad, that shochu is rare. Otherwise, let everyone choose the shochu and the three-foot-haired green cloth." Lian Man'er said.

Mist-green cloth is an excellent thing for farmers. A three-foot-weather blue cloth can make a sturdy trousers and jackets for children, and a pair of shoes for each family.

"Okay. Man'er is more thoughtful than I think." Lian Shouxin said with a smile.

After discussing all this, it was Lian Man'er's family's arrangement for the holiday.

"... I want to buy one carp, and the largest one is the one. Our family has more. I want two pounds of pork belly, braised pork, and pork ribs..." The family said every word, and Lian Man'er recorded the order longer and longer.

"Dad, mother, Ye'er and the others have nothing to do with each other. Just three of them, let's call them all to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with us." Lian Man'er said while holding a pen to record what he wanted to buy.

"You have to say this, I have planned that long ago." Zhang said with a smile.

"Let's spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the old house." Lian Shouxin hesitated for a while and suggested.

Zhang and the children were silent first, and then nodded. Everyone knew in their hearts that this should be the last festival they had spent in the old house.

Because the autumn harvest is busy with farming, the Mid-Autumn Festival of the farmhouses is often easier than that of several other festivals. The reunion dinner is still arranged at noon.

Zhao and Lian Ye'er were in the outer room, working hard with Lian Man'er and others to cook. Several of them were brisk in their steps and burst into laughter from time to time.

Sweet and sour carp, mushroom braised pork... There were a whole table of dishes of all sizes, and Lian Man'er cooked himself and made a shredded sweet potato.

The two families sat down at the table, and a small wine cup was placed in front of each of them. Lian Man'er held a white wine jar and Lian Ye'er held a wine jar, pouring wine one by one.

"Today, we all have to have a drink."
