Chapter 714 Deep Feelings (four more)

But what Lan Ruozhu asked was Shen Qiuhua.

Shen Qiuhua said patiently: "In the past, when the spring came, we had to grow grain and vegetables."

"Wheat must be planted, because the pasta we eat on weekdays is made of wheat flour."

"Usually most of the land is used to grow wheat. In fact, early rice can also be grown, but if there is not much land, we will first plant wheat, then plant rice in summer, and harvest rice in autumn. This is the rice we eat on weekdays... …”

"There are also vegetables. I can grow beans and cucumbers. Cucumbers are delicious when eaten raw. The beans can be used for cooking and can be made into buns. The buns are delicious."

"I don't know if you like to eat steamed buns or not. When the willow tree sprouts, we all go to pick willow leaves. It is also delicious to wrap buns with willow leaves."

Hearing this, Lan Ruozhu's expression changed, "Is willow leaves still edible?"

He had never heard of this.

Willow trees can often be seen. He thought it was just a tree, but he didn’t expect that the leaves of willow could still be eaten.

Shen Qiuhua smiled and said, "Of course you can eat it, it's still delicious. When the willow tree sprouts, I'll go get the willow leaves to make buns, and you can eat them at home."

"If you're busy, I'll have someone bring you something to eat."

Lan Ruozhu nodded and said, "Okay, the buns made by the godmother must be delicious."

The smile on Shen Qiuhua's face thickened, "I can't say it's delicious when doing other things, but I'm really good at making steamed buns."

"But I used to make steamed buns, and I was reluctant to put meat. In fact, pork belly is the most fragrant and delicious when making steamed buns."

Speaking of making buns, Shen Qiuhua wanted to eat buns.

But recently, I have a lot of delicious food at home. During the Chinese New Year, I made a lot of pasta. I eat it first and then make new pasta.

Lan Ruozhu listened, sighing inwardly, "Goddess has worked hard before."

Shen Qiuhua shook his head, "It's all over, now that the days are better, it can be considered a hardship."

"However, although I was poor in the past, the family atmosphere was harmonious. The children were all sensible and knew how to help. The people in the village were simple, and the life was simple and peaceful, but it was nothing."

"But now it's good, now the conditions are good, you can eat and wear warmly, and you don't have to be afraid of being hungry and freezing."

In fact, to put it bluntly, in the past, every household was relatively poor, and I didn’t feel that way.

But now that I can eat and wear warm clothes, thinking about the past, I feel really hard.

But Shen Qiuhua didn't want Lan Ruozhu to worry, so she also showed a relaxed look.

Lan Ruozhu actually felt heavy when he heard these words.

The people in Suteng Village are doing well, but the people in other parts of Dingzhou have not changed much.

In fact, he also hoped that the people of Dingzhou would be well fed and clothed.

He knew he had a lot to do.

Since he is King Ding, he must seek his government in his position.

"Look at what I said here, you ask me what to plant in spring, and corn, and corn must also be planted. The coarse grains we sometimes eat are made of cornmeal."

"After harvesting the corn, it can be boiled with water and eaten very fragrant, but after drying, it is necessary to peel the kernels, and then go to the flour to come out."

"Look, we still have corn on our bungalow, and they haven't been peeled yet."

Lan Ruozhu listened to Shen Qiuhua's words, followed her fingers and looked over, and sure enough, there were a lot of corn hanging on the bungalow.

are all twisted into strings, a lot of corn.

Lan Ruozhu was a little curious, "Is it alright if it's raining and snowing like this?"

Shen Qiuhua explained: "It's okay, the corn kernels are hard and unaffected. After they are completely dried, they can be peeled."

Su Wenzhe couldn't help but said, "We had dinner in the evening, and sometimes we would sit around on the kang and peel corn together."

"But in the past, you would peel corn kernels during the day, sleep when it got dark, and save candles and oil lamps."

"The conditions are better now. My sister bought a lot of candles. We are busy with business affairs in the store during the day. We light candles to peel corn at night, but there is still a lot of corn that has not been peeled. The peeled corn is ground into corn flour and stored in the warehouse. ."

Lan Ruozhu heard this, and then suddenly realized.

Lan Ruozhu said with emotion: "It's very hard and tiring to be busy during the day and at night."

It turns out that it is not easy for farmers to be busy.

He used to think that everyone would relax after the autumn harvest, but now it seems that is not the case.

After harvesting the crops, there are other things to be busy with, such as peeling corn kernels.

Su Wenzhe shook his head and said, "I don't think so. In fact, everyone sits together to peel corn kernels and talk, but it's just like playing."

"Besides, no one cares. If you want to do more, you can peel more. When you are tired, you can rest. It doesn't feel hard."

Feel free to do whatever you want at home.

Su Wen corrected himself and said with deep emotion, "It's much better at home than outside, eat and sleep better."

Lan Ruozhu understood, to put it bluntly, that is, they work at home and are more free.

In fact, if they can eat and wear warm clothes, they will be very content.

Lan Ruozhu felt that the villagers’ minds should be very simple.

said that, after a while, the glutinous rice paste was almost finished.

Su Binglan said, "It's time to start making dumplings."

"Yes, let's make dumplings together."

"I've never made glutinous rice dumplings myself before, sister, you teach us."

Su Binglan smiled and said, "Don't worry."

said, she carried a cloth bag and glutinous rice flour into the house.

Everyone followed into the house.

Su Binglan saw that there were still red beans soaked next to it, looked at it and said, "The red beans are also soaked."

Liu Yinyin asked: "Sister, the red beans have been soaked, what do you do next?"

Su Binglan poured the glutinous rice flour into the large pot and said, "Sister-in-law, you can add water to the pot and then add these red beans. After they are boiled, you can make red bean filling."

"it is good."

This, Liu Yinyin has experience. When making red bean cakes before, he made red bean fillings like this.

Su Wenzhe went to help Liu Yinyin by setting a fire.

Next, Su Binglan started making dumplings.

Su Binglan just poured glutinous rice flour into a large pot, then added boiling water, stirring while adding, then adding warm water and stirring evenly.

Then knead into a ball.

Then knead the surface of the glutinous rice ball to be smoother.

Make sure that it will not be broken when stretched by hand.

Shen Qiuhui had calmed down a little at this time, looked at Shen Qiuhua and said, "Sister, let me help too, I will do something too."

King Ding had already started to help, but he didn't do anything, and felt a little embarrassed.

Shen Qiuhua looked at so many pots of stuffing and said, "Don't worry, we'll wrap the dumplings together in a while."

So much stuffing, you must pack a lot.

It's already half afternoon. There are many people and strength. If we do it together, we should be able to wrap it up quickly.

Shen Qiuhui nodded, "Okay."

Shen Qiuhua saw that Su Binglan still had to knead the dough, so she took out the large panel and placed it on the kang.

The panel is very large, and it directly occupies half of the kang.

Shen Qiuhua said: "Lan Lan, are these doughs going to be made into long strips?"

Su Binglan nodded and said: "Yes, mother, roll these doughs into long strips one by one, and then cut them into small doses of this size, you can use the small doses to wrap each filling."
