Chapter 66 Peanuts
After picking up the ears of grain for several days, Chen Xiaopang never appeared again. Lian Man'er felt relieved and a little disappointed. He breathed a sigh of relief because Chen Xiaopang was too difficult, so it was of course a good thing to not meet him. As for Lian Man'er's reluctance, after thinking about it, her handkerchief must have been put away by Chen Xiaopang. If Chen Xiaopang couldn't see Chen Xiaopang, she couldn't get the handkerchief back. The handkerchief cost more than ten cents at that time. Although she didn't know how to embroider, she just locked the edges, but it was also sewn by herself with one stitch at a time.
However, there is nothing more important than Shiqiu. Lian Man'er thought about Chen Xiaopang for two days and then left him behind.
After picking up the ears of grain, they start to scatter peanuts. Peanuts are difficult to harvest. Even the most careful farmers cannot collect every peanut into the warehouse. Some of them will always be left in the soil. A pound of peanuts with skin can be exchanged for more than one pound of good rice. Children from Sanshiliyingzi carried baskets, held small rakes or picks in their hands, and scattered into the ground to find the peanuts that fell in the ground.
Lian Man'er naturally was unwilling to fall behind. Every morning, he went to the ground with Xiaoqi, Lian Zhier and Goro to peanuts.
Although the Lian family planted peanuts, they had to be sold for money. So far, Lian Man'er and the others have eaten no more than ten of them. This does not mean that even the old man is harsh. People in the village are like this. On the contrary, families who give their children peanuts will be said to be spoiled and will not live a life.
If you carefully search the peanut fields of poor families, you will have fewer left. But even these families have careful and careless people. If you find the peanut fields of careless families, you will naturally gain more. In addition, you can also gain a lot in the landlords' fields.
Even if there are not many, it will satisfy your cravings if you find some to eat.
Peanuts are very hard. We have to find the peanuts that have been left in the soil. Everyone has almost turned the whole ground through, so it is called peanuts. Xiaoqi likes to eat peanuts. Brothers and sisters cherish him when they are young, and they will give him the first to find peanuts. Xiaoqi is also very sensible. He will eat a handful of them very carefully. Then he will stop eating them.
Some of the peanuts from the children in the village have to be given to their homes to supplement their household income, while some families are more relaxed, allowing their children to have their own teeth sacrifices or sell them in the town to exchange for candy.
Now Lian Man'er is in charge of many things in the fourth house of Lian'er. Lian Man'er thinks that he still has enough money to keep the peanuts at home and then decides to leave them to eat.
This is like this. Xiaoqi and Shiro have already found a good place to go. After a day, each of them can get seven or eight pounds of peanuts. After a few days, although their faces were tanned, their hands were ground into bubbles, and their arms and legs were sore, but looking at the sacks of peanuts, the joy in their hearts was completely resistant to the fatigue of these days.
When the people in the village saw it, they all said that the children from Lian's fourth house were smart and capable.
Lian Shouxin has been with Mr. Lian these days. Every night, he can fall asleep immediately after touching his head with a pillow, but he doesn’t need to call him in the morning and get up before dawn.
The two old hens sent by Zhang Qingshan and Li, the black hen. On the second day of his arrival, Zhang was reluctant to kill and eat meat, so he made Lian Shouxin circle a small fence and raise the two chickens under the window of the west wing.
Lian Man'er discussed with Zhang and killed the reed chicken. The beans in the backyard were about to be tied up. Lian Man'er and Lian Zhier picked up the tenderer ones and washed a large basket, scooped three kilograms of white flour, mixed them with noodles, and planned to make beans stewed with pork and stewed pork cakes.
Peel the chicken and cut the chicken into pieces. Heat a large iron pot, first add a little oil, add chopped green onion, garlic cloves and sauce to stir-fry to make the aroma. Pour the chicken pieces into the large iron pot and stir-fry. After stir-frying, add the pick-washed and cut into pieces of beans.
Here Lianman'er divides the flour into several even dough pieces, rolls it into thin slices, spreads oil on one side, sprinkles salt and pepper powder, folds it in half, then greases the folded noodles, sprinkles salt and pepper powder, and then folds it in half. In this way, the cake is ready.
Lianzhier has stir-fryed the beans and chicken nuggets, then add water to the pot. The water just ends up with the beans. Lianman'er takes out the Hu cake, spread it evenly on the beans, and then covers the lid tightly. Wuro sets the fire under the stove, and waits to steam the pot, and thick steam comes out from all sides of the lid of the pot, and then boils a handful of fire, and then suffices for a quarter of an hour, and the beans and beans will be cooked. At that time, the Hu cake is soaked in the aroma of chicken and beans, which will make it even more delicious.
Lian Man'er and others were sitting around and joking, waiting for the pot to boil the steamer. When the door curtain sounded, Silang and Liulang jumped in from outside.
"You guys stew chicken again?" Siro sniffed.
"I'm not buying meat when I go to the house, it's better than chicken." Xiao Qi said.
"Man'er, I'll tell you something." Silang rubbed his back of his hand and leaned against Lian Man'er and said.
"What's the matter?"
"Good thing, I'll tell you, you have to give me a chicken leg," Silang said.
"What's the point of being a chicken?" Lian Man'er gave Silang a blank look. A chicken had two legs. They hadn't eaten it yet, so why give it to him?
"Sister Hua'er is going to ruin that for you." Silang said.
"Oh?" Lian Man'er said oh.
"What did she do?" Lian Zhier asked hurriedly.
"Give me chicken legs, I'll tell you." Silang glanced at the big iron pot that was already starting to get angry.
"She is bad, we know, you don't need to tell me." Lian Man'er said indifferently, "Who knows if you want to cheat chicken."
Siro was a little anxious when he smelled the increasingly fragrant chicken smell.
"How could I lie to you? I heard it with my own ears." Silang said, "It was the day Sister Huaer came back, and she and her aunt went to the backyard and said that the flowers in the palace were to be given to her. I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so I gave them to you. My aunt was so angry that she trampled all the cabbage."
Lian Man'er's heart moved and thought that they went to the room that day, Lian Xiu'er stared at what she and Lian Zhi'er looked at.
"They must be talking on their backs. How can you know that?" Lian Man'er looked at Silang with distrust.
"I squatted under the cucumber rack and shitted, and I heard it."
"Ah!" Xiaoqi jumped up, "I knew it was you, why didn't you go to the pit? Learn from the dog. I told me why the cucumber racks are always smelly and I almost stepped on them last time."
"Do you care where I'm shitting." Silang said indifferently.
"Go and go, what's the matter of shit or not? It's so stinking, and I'm still talking." Lian Man'er said dissatisfied, "By the way, you said you're there...ah, that old lady didn't smell it, and she could still let you listen to them."
"I saw that they were coming. Before I could pull it out, I held it in for a while." Silang said, "You don't believe it yet. I asked you two to cook for the eldest uncle, which was what Sister Huaer asked her to say."
No wonder, at that time, even Huaer didn't dare to offend her in person, and said such ambiguous words. If Lian Xiu'er was smart, she could still insist on letting her and Lian Zhi'er go to the room to cook, but Lian Xiu'er had a straight temper and couldn't hear Lian Hua'er's bent mind. She thought that even Huaer was talking for them, so she was so angry that she didn't say anything. After that, both of them should be very depressed.
"I've known about these things for a long time. My aunt listens to Sister Hua'er everything, not a day or two." Lian Man'er said.
When Silang saw that Lian Man'er didn't care, he wouldn't have to eat the chicken legs. Silang frowned and slapped his thighs.
"There's one more thing you certainly don't know."
"What's the matter?"
"Your mother asked my aunt to push her back, and that was also a bad thing from Sister Hua'er." Silang covered her mouth and said mysteriously.
