When Chen Xiaolai came back from the camp, he heard the news that Chen Xiaomi was pregnant and couldn't help feeling a little excited.
"Brother, do you have it again?" Chen Xiaocai asked excitedly.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "yes
Chen Xiaocai is young and mature, but when he heard that Chen Xiaomi had news again, he was so happy that he was like a child.
Chen Xiaocai some excited way: "great, I want to have a nephew again."
Lu Lin smiles. What people of this era pay attention to is not eugenics and eugenics, but more children and more blessings. If they can have more children, even the poorest families will choose to have more.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaocai, his eyes flashed a bit of banter, "you and Shen Chi will also have."
Chen Xiaocai scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.
Although Chen Xiaocai and Shen Chi got engaged early and married early, Chen Xiaomi asked them to slow down first. Chen Xiaocai listened to Chen Xiaomi very much and had not tasted the forbidden fruit.
Lu Lin looks at Chen Xiaocai and says in secret: this kid should still be a junior brother, but it's right to be a junior brother. He's still a child.
Chen Xiaocai looks at Lu Lin's look. He probably guesses what Lu Lin is thinking. He stares at Lu Lin fiercely.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaolai's look and thought: a hairy child is a hairy child. He can't keep his breath.
After the house was repaired and dried for a few days, Lu Lin and others moved into the new house.
The new house was built in a hurry. Compared with the house that Lu Lin used to live in, it's a little less exquisite. However, it's better than the spacious yamen, where there isn't even a chair. Lu Lin shook his head, thinking that in a few days, he would have to find a carpenter to make some chairs.
Chen Xiaomi helpless way: "perhaps not without, but was secretly moved away."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "it's possible." Lu Lin thought to himself: everyone says it's good to be an official, but it doesn't seem very good to be an official when he comes here. There is no dignity at all. However, since he has chosen this road, he can only go on without hesitation.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin's drawing and said, "this stone mill is so big!"
Lu Lin nodded and said, "the stone mill is big enough, the powder is fine enough, and the tofu is delicious. Small words are useless."
In this era, there are stone mills. A lot of coarse grains are very coarse and need to be ground into flour to taste good. There is a kind of yellow rice which tastes like corn. Many farmers like to make it into yellow rice noodles.
As Lu Lin knows, there are several stone mills in Sha county, which are basically one in each village. If anyone wants to use them, he can borrow them from the village. Lu Lin ordered the stone mill at a cost of one or two silver.
"When can I eat the tofu you said?" Asked Chen Xiaomi.
Chen Xiaomi has a strange appetite recently. He doesn't even have much meat to eat. Lu Lin finally bought meat bones and stewed them into soup. Chen Xiaomi still can't eat them. He just drank some soup.
After listening to Lu Lin's boasting about tofu, he became more curious.
"Don't worry. When the stone mill is finished, you can eat it." Lu Lindao
Chen Xiaomi was disappointed and said, "it's a lot of work to make this stone mill. It's fast." He made it to order in a few days, and it hasn't been finished yet, but it should be ready soon.
"Lingo, this stone mill has been sent here." Qin Ming came in.
Lu Lin nodded and said with pleasure, "OK."
As it happens, I just got up to see Chen Xiaomi. Now I'm happy
Several members of the family worked together to carry the stone mill into the courtyard. The courtyard behind the county government is very large, and a stone mill is more than enough.
the stone mill is not light, and it took a lot of effort to send it to the designated location.
Chen Xiaomi wants to help, but Lu Lin stops him.
Qin Ming some excited way: "brother Lin, want to make delicious?" Lu Shiming had been thinking about the wheat for a long time.
Qin Lang took a look at Qin Ming and said, "I know how to eat."
Qin Ming stuffy way: "big brother, you don't want to eat."
Qin Lang stares at Qin Ming and says in secret: Qin Ming is becoming more and more disrespectful. Tear down his platform.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "yes, when it's back, we can make delicious food. We can make tofu." As far as Lu Lin knows, tofu has appeared in this place, but it has not been fully popularized. Moreover, the way to eat tofu in this place is relatively poor.
Qin Ming was very curious about the new stone mill. Lu Lin said that if you grind the beans into powder, you can make tofu. He volunteered to undertake the task of grinding.
Qin Ming takes the initiative to push the mill, but Chen Mai is not convinced. He drives Qin ming to one side and asks him to push.
Lu Lin is full of speechless, looking at the family of several children around the mill, only feel that the scene in front of some difficult to understand, Lu Lin thought to himself: this push mill is physical work, a few kids in the family, it seems that this work as a fun game, two scramble to push mill, here's the kid, it's really boring, such rough work as a game."Oh, come on." Chen wheat pushes the grinding plate and turns.
Lu Lin looked at Chen wheat circling around the millstone and thought to himself: the strange power of wheat has finally found a place to use. Lu Lin ordered some tofu out of plaster and cooked some soymilk.
"Dad, it's good. It's good." Yuan Baoman is excited.
The soymilk with sugar is very sweet. Yuanbao is very satisfied with it. Chen Mai and Shen Chi are also satisfied with the taste of the soymilk.
When making tofu, Lu Lin did a demonstration for yunniang and made Mapo Tofu. Yunniang soon got started.
"Brother Lin, I didn't expect that this bean could be made into such a delicious food." Qin Mingdao.
Lu Lin laughed and said, "if it's delicious, you can eat more."
Lu Lin thought to himself: it's going to be winter soon. At that time, there will be less food to eat. At that time, tofu brain, Mapo Tofu, stinky tofu, dried tofu, tofu skin, frozen tofu You can eat all kinds of tofu until you feel like vomiting.
Bean curd is not expensive. It's much cheaper than meat. It's full and nutritious. If you do more, you can save money.
Chen Xiaomi ate a mouthful of Mapo Tofu, in his eyes, flashed a bit surprised, "it's delicious."
Lu Lin laughed and said, "just like it."
Chen Xiaomi some excited way: "did not expect beans can be made into such a delicious thing, before I did not like to eat, this tofu there are other ways to eat?"
"Yes, I'll make you tofu fish soup tomorrow."
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "OK."
The millstone was placed in the courtyard and became a new favorite of several children in the family.
Chen wheat behind Chen Xiaocai, some excited way: "second brother, second brother, it's my turn to push the mill, it's my turn."
Chen Xiaocai took a look at Chen wheat and said, "wheat, don't worry. I haven't pushed it for long."
Chen wheat kicks a leg to complain: "second brother, you play naughty, it's my turn, it's my turn..." Chen Xiaocai helpless way: "special line, let you."
Chen wheat replaced Chen Xiaocai, pushing the millstone Hula to turn up.
Lu Lin looked at Chen wheat, and he said to himself that the strength of wheat was not small. It was easy to push such a big stone mill. If they lived in the mountains and depended on hunting for a living, they would be good hunters.
Yuanbao sits beside him, looking at Chen Maimai and others pushing the grinding plate. His eyes are shining, and he is eager to try. He is too small to be pushed, so he has to worry.
Chen Xiaomi came out and saw Lu Lin sitting on one side, watching several people push the grinding plate at home.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin and said, "do you want to push it up?"
Lu Lin shook his head and said, "I'm not that boring."
Chen Xiaomi: "it seems very interesting..."
Lu re mi: I hope everyone can keep their interest for a few minutes.
Lu Lin didn't respond to his expectations. A few days later, several people in his family lost interest in the grinding wheel. The only one who was more interested was Chen Mai. However, Lu Lin thought Chen Mai was losing interest.
Lu Lin thought to himself: children are really half hearted. When this thing was just delivered, several children crouched beside the millstone. Lu Lin could even hear the sound of pulling the millstone in the middle of the night. If he didn't see some ghosts working all night, he would think it was haunted.
Qin Lang came in from the outside and said, "my Lord."
Lu Lin took a look at Qin Lang and said, "I'm back. Have you found the carpenter and blacksmith I want you to find?"
Qin Lang nodded and said, "I found it."
"Bring people over sometime."
"What do you want with carpenters and blacksmiths?" Asked Chen Xiaomi.
Lu Lin laughed and said, "I'm an official now. I think it's necessary to make some contribution to the progress of the times." He came here a few years ago, he came across and patronized money. Now it's time for him to contribute to the progress of science.
Chen Xiaomi takes a look at Lu Lin and thinks that Lu Lin seems a little confused.
Lu Lin took out a drawing and said, "look at this."
Chen Xiaomi looked at the drawing and said, "what's this?"
"This is Qu Yuanli's drawing, but I don't think it's very good." Lulin road.
Chen Xiaomi looked at the drawing and said, "it's a lot easier to farm with this thing." Lu Lin nodded and said, "yes!"
"It looks very complicated. It should take a lot of effort to make it." Chen Xiaomi said.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "yes, it's made. Maybe no one can afford it, but it doesn't matter. Let's get it out first."
Lu Lin also has a lot of silver in his hand. It's OK to spend some.Although his salary is not much, it is almost enough for living.
Luo Wen carries two pieces of tofu and goes home.
During this time, Luo Wen has been doing errands for the county magistrate's office. Sometimes, when he is in time for dinner, Lu Lin will stay Luo Wen for dinner. There are a lot of Lu's family, and Luo Wen is not bad for a meal.
Although Luo Wen was embarrassed, he was so hungry that he often went to the county government at the meal point.
Lu Lin also knew Luo Wen's careful thinking, but he didn't expose it, and his family didn't lack it.
"Ah Wen, come back!" The neighbor's old lady said hello to Rowan.
Rowan nodded and said, "yes!"
"You are working for the county magistrate now!" The old lady said anxiously.
Rowan laughed and said, "it's OK."
Luo Wen thought to himself: the previous officials in Sha county are not good. The old lady should regard Lu Lin as the same person as the previous officials. Luo Wen was also worried before. However, after some contact, she felt that Lu Lin was still very different from the previous officials.
Luo Wen came home, Luo mother looked at Luo Wen, said: "ah Wen back?"
Luo Wen nodded and said, "yes, Niang, I brought you tofu back."
Luo Mu some puzzled way: "what is bean curd?"
"It's a kind of food made by the magistrate. It's delicious with soy sauce." Rowan road.
Luo Mu said helplessly: "how can you take things from the magistrate's house at random? How can you offend the adults?"
Luo Wen calm way: "Niang, is adult think I work well, reward to me, adult is a good person."
"My Lord, you are also a parent official. Don't offend people." Luo Mu tells a way.
Rowan nodded and said, "I'll save it."
