MTL - The Reborn Lady is Farming-Chapter 27 prepare lunch
Mu Yangling saw that her saliva was about to flow out, she shook her hand in front of her, and said with a chuckle, "Hungry? I cook very fast, do you have sauerkraut at home?"
Ma Xiulan blushed, ashamed of her stupidity, and whispered, "There is sauerkraut at home, and grandma pickled a lot."
"That's right, let's stew the pheasant with sauerkraut. It would be even better if we had potatoes."
Ma Xiulan hurriedly said, "We also have potatoes in our house." But why hasn't she heard of pheasant chicken being stewed with sauerkraut and potatoes?
Of course, Ma Xiulan has never heard of it, because it was invented by Mu Yangling. Her way of cooking has always been: pheasants are a bit fishy, don't like ginger, it doesn't matter, put sauerkraut to get rid of the fishy smell, potatoes are delicious to fill your stomach, and then put more Go down and **** the oil.
Mu Yangling said: "Go get the potatoes and sauerkraut, and I'll boil the water to remove the chicken feathers."
Ma Xiulan turned around anxiously and said, "Cousin, let me come, you are a guest."
Mu Yangling waved his hand and said indifferently: "You are still young, not to mention I am not a guest, go ahead, or your grandma won't have a delicious lunch when she comes back."
Ma Xiulan had to run to the vegetable garden to pull potatoes, while Mu Yangling went to the kitchen to boil water.
In the distance, Mr. Ma Zhang, who was secretly paying attention to this side, twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw that Ma Xiulan had only picked up two potatoes and went back. This is stingy from relatives and stingy for entertaining guests. It's better to stop rubbing it for lunch this time. Eat at home.
Ma Zhang turned around and left.
Mu Yangling and Ma Xiulan didn't know that they secretly succeeded in repelling the one who wanted to eat.
Mu Yangling has always been fast at work, so when Ma Xiulan came back, there was already boiling water on the stove, and she even poured water to clean the kitchen.
Ma Xiulan looked at her blankly. Seeing that she was at a loss, Mu Yangling took out the paper bag with the candy, opened it, picked up a piece of candy and put it in her mouth, and put the rest in her hand, saying, "This is for you. With my sister, hurry up and hide."
Ma Xiulan cowardly said: "This, let's cousin eat it."
"My family has it. My parents asked me to bring it to you. Hide it and don't let outsiders see it."
Ma Xiulan clutched the paper bag tightly and looked at Mu Yangling with bright eyes like stars: "Thank you cousin." She turned around and ran back to the room to hide the sugar.
Seeing that she was flushed with excitement when she came out of the room, Mu Yangling turned her eyes away and said, "Where is your rice? Go measure it out and cook, the water is almost ready, I'll help you. Dispose of all four wild animals."
Mu Shi was afraid that his aunt would not eat it when he brought it, so he specifically told Mu Yangling to help them clean it up, so that they would not take it out and sell it, and could only eat it by themselves.
What's more, rabbit skins can be sold individually. A complete rabbit skin can be sold for eight cents. Mu Yangling's skinning skills were learned from Mu Shi, which is not worse than the butcher in the town, so she pinched two. The dead rabbit was cut with scissors in the head, and then peeled down the back.
After a while, a complete rabbit skin appeared in his hand.
Mu Yangling smiled slightly, washed it and dried it on the stone in the yard, and said to Ma Xiulan, who was squatting on the ground washing the pickled vegetables, and said, "This rabbit skin is a good thing, you can dry it, go back and take it. If you go to town and sell it to a butcher, you can sell it for eight cents a piece, and if it’s made from nitrate, you can buy it for twelve cents.”
Ma Xiulan's eyes were sparkling, "Then, can that cousin help us make the nitrile?"
Mu Yangling was stunned for a moment, and said, "You don't have anything made from nitrification, and my nitrification skills are not very good..." The most important thing is that if she does nitrification, the aunt will definitely put it in her hands to let it go. She took her back, which is why Mu Shi brought two rabbits to his daughter before asking her to skin them. He knew his great aunt too well. She was a woman who was unwilling to owe favor and had a strong nature, otherwise he would not Life is so difficult, and I don't go back and beg my brothers and nephews.
Ma Xiulan was only slightly disappointed, and then became very happy.
One egg is one penny, eight penny is eight eggs, how much is two rabbit skins? Anyway, definitely can replace a lot of eggs.
Ma Xiulan's subordinates moved faster, not only washed and cut the sauerkraut, but also peeled and cut the potatoes.
And here, Mu Yangling also shed the feathers of the two pheasants, put one in a bucket and chilled with well water, and chopped the other.
"You keep this one for dinner. Go and make a fire now. It's almost time for lunch. Your grandma and sister should be back soon, right?"
Ma Xiulan looked up at the sun and nodded fiercely, "I'll be back soon."
Ma Liu and their eldest granddaughter are harvesting in the fields. Now is the time of autumn harvest. Although their family has little land, because only the grandparents and grandchildren can work, they are old and weak, and they are very backward. .
Ma Liu only felt dizzy from the sun, looked up at the eldest granddaughter, saw her bowing her head and was harvesting rice in front of her, she couldn't help pursing her lips.
Her health is getting worse and worse, and she doesn't know how long she will live. The eldest granddaughter is only nine years old, but because of malnutrition, she looks like she is only six or seven years old. If she dies, what will happen to the two children As you can imagine.
If only there was a boy among the two children, then the clan would definitely help her raise a child.
Ma Liu shook his head, her grandson had died more than four years ago.
"Okay, let's go back for lunch first, and come back in the afternoon." Ma Liu called his eldest granddaughter, calculated in his heart, and said, "The harvest should be over in two days."
Ma Xiuhong put down the sickle, walked over quietly, straightened up, and said, "I still have to carry it out and thresh it."
Ma Liu sighed, "Take your time, I just hope it won't rain." Their grandparents are old and young, and they can only carry half a load at most each time. The eldest granddaughter and the youngest granddaughter are more It is only possible to pull one basket together. It takes about ten days to harvest each time, and it takes four days to drag it out.
Ma Liushi was afraid of being stolen food, so she slept in the ground with a quilt every night. Even she herself did not know how long she would live.
The grandfather and grandson packed up and headed home. When they passed the valley, they met Ma Zhang who was going home for dinner.
Ma Zhang said with a smile: "Fourth aunt, why did you come back? Today you have a guest at your house, so you have to go back and have a look."
Ma Liu frowned, "What kind of guests can I have in my house?"
"Oh, I heard that it was your grandniece who carried such a big bag."
Ma Liu opened his mouth slightly, took his eldest granddaughter's hand tightly, and quickened his pace, saying, "Thank you, my niece-in-law for telling me."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Mrs. Ma Zhang smiled.
The person next to him couldn't help but lowered his voice and asked, "Aunt Aunt's grandniece really came to see her with a big basket on her back?"
Ma Zhang was overjoyed, "Can I still lie to you? But the basket is full of leaves. I heard her meaning, her mother wanted to eat the pickled sauerkraut from the fourth aunt."
A lot of people around him were listening, and when they heard the words, they all shed tears of sympathy for Mrs. Ma Liu. The relatives of this family have not come to the house for many years, but this visit was an autumn breeze.
There were also people who frowned to fight for Ma Liu's injustice, and said, "Aunt Ma has already suffered enough, why is it still hitting her head with the autumn wind?"
"Maybe it's a relative who has a tougher life."
