Chapter 204 Happiness of Eating And Drinking

"Thank you, uncle. We are blessed tonight! "

"Yes, new rice, but I haven't eaten it in years. "

"Ladies cook, our men are strong, hurry up and pound rice. "

Everyone shouted and got busy. All the families moved out the mortar of the rice.

Many people are easy to work, in half an hour, three bags of white rice were pounded.

The women happily washed the white rice, then stewed it in a large pot.

Cooking rice in an iron pot was definitely the most challenging task for a woman. The iron pot was not the modern electric cooker. If you put less water, rice is raw, more water is rotten porridge. If the fire is big, rice casserole smoke, if the fire is small, a short time can not be cooked.

The family in the village was not rich, and they could not eat a white rice for a year and a half. On the other hand, the lin family had been eating three meals a day for more than a year. Zhao shi and liu shi were used to it, and now they were personally taking care of the seven big pots. The rest of the women were busy cutting vegetables and cutting meat.

After a while, the rice would be cooked and the dishes would be cooked again. The stews would not be able to wait so long. Instead, the vegetables would be fried and the meat would be fresh.

In less than two minutes, the steam released from the big pot carried the smell of rice. The wind blew on it and almost filled the entire village.

The men and women who were squatting under the trees or gossiping in the walls couldn' t help but pick up their noses and sniff.

"The new rice is fragrant. "

"Isn' t that right? I haven' t grown rice for many years, and I don' t even want to cook a pot of rice." Today is meat! "

"Don' t worry. Next year, we will learn to grow rice with brother dahai. If we have more rice, it will be our own. No matter what, it will be enough for us to have a few meals at home." "

"Oh my, I wish I could plant the land in spring right away. "

"This is rare. The laziest second egg in the village actually doesn' t want to live in the winter and is looking forward to spring planting. "

Everyone was bickering with each other. In the kitchen, the lid of the big iron pot had already been opened. Zhao shi fanned the steam on her face and used the wooden spoon in her hand to scoop up some rice to taste it. Finally, under the gaze of the other women, she smiled and said," alright, you can leave the pot now." The children were afraid that they were hungry. The pot at the bottom of the pot was scraped down, and some rice balls were wrapped. "

"Well, well, these boys have been taking advantage of us all this year, and each one of them has gained a round of weight. "

"No, it's all thanks to uncle's family. "

The women smiled and spoke politely.

The servant girls and boys who had been waiting outside the door had happily picked up the rice balls. They did not care about the heat and started to eat.

Jiao Jiao also got one. She took a bite of the crispy rice and the sweet smell of the rice made her squint her eyes happily.

In her previous life, her mother would also pack a few rice balls when the rice was cooked. However, she had never eaten them before. It was said that the girl's family could not eat the rice beside the pot, so it was easy to develop a gluttonous temper. Therefore, all the rice balls were for her brother, and she could only drool.

Now that she had finally eaten the rice ball, it was really delicious. The most important thing was that a part of her heart had been filled.

She turned around and looked at the children who were also grinning and eating the rice balls. She could not help but smile even sweeter. This rice ball was probably the most beautiful part of her memory after they grew up.

Seven big pots filled with rice and meat dishes. The fire was so fast that it was almost ready to start eating in a short while.

They didn' t need to set any tables, and their families didn' t need to be polite.

Each person had a human head in a ceramic bowl, which was about the size of a human head.

The rice grains that had grown on the ears of the rice an hour ago were now steamed white and crystal-clear, but this freshness made people laugh.

The setting sun hung red in the sky, the mountains and villages were covered with a beautiful glow, the autumn wind running freely, singing the joy of the autumn.

Everyone ate a mouthful of rice, a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of food happily.

At this moment, no one was willing to speak, and their mouths were not free. Everyone was immersed in the joy of a bumper harvest and the delicious food.

Jiao Jiao also held the bowl and squatted beside her grandfather. Seeing that her grandfather was smiling so much that his face was wrinkled, she became more and more happy.

Sometimes, happiness is that simple. A lamp waiting for you when you return from a long journey. After fatigue, a foothold. And this bowl of white rice after the harvest ...

After helping the lin family to harvest the precocious rice, every household was still busy as usual. They continued to sharpen their knives and continue to make baskets and fix their poles. Because in half a month, the rest of the crops in the field should be ripe.

The red sorghum, the golden grain, and the sharp wheat were all the hard work of the year.

The lin family didn' t have to wait that long, nor did they dare to wait that long.

As the corn and potatoes in the backyard vat matured, the corn sprouts had already turned yellow, and the corn sprouts a coat, revealing a brown beard. A few pots of potatoes, rice seedlings are also withered in the appearance, it is obvious that the early maturity.

In the past half a month, dalian had almost grown up in the backyard.

Now that she was finally looking forward to the harvest, she heaved a long sigh of relief. Finally, she could eat and sleep at ease.

Lin baozao saw his wife's hard work in his eyes and secretly held her hand. Big lotus was shy and struggled a little, but he didn' t break free, so he let him hold her with a red face.

At this moment, there was still an hour before dinner time, and lin baoer and the other boys were watching the door in the front yard. Lin dahe and his wife, lin dajiang and lin hua were all in the city.

The rest of lin dahai's husband and wife, lin dashan's wife, and elder lin and dong shi were standing in front of the vat holding Jiao Jiao in their arms.

Although they had seen the corn bud that Jiao Jiao had taken out earlier, seeing it grow on the seedling with his own eyes still made everyone surprised.

"The corn is really big. It's like a small tree. It's useful to cook with fire, right? "

This was what zhao shi asked. She was usually busy in the kitchen, and when she saw the corn, she thought of burning it.

Jiao Jiao smiled and praised the old woman." Mother, you are so clever. Bracts, and the husk of the bracts, after the removal of the kernel of the remaining bracts, can be burned, and very easy to burn. But after the corn seedlings are dried, it is best to feed cattle and sheep in winter. "

"Really? "

Old master lin was delighted to hear that and replied," if there are many kinds of corn in the future, we' ll raise a flock of sheep at home. In winter, we won' t have any place to look for pastures. "

"That's a good idea. The new grain is a treasure. Even the seedlings are useful. "Dong shi also praised him.

Jiao Jiao thought of her potatoes and urged the old man," grandfather, hurry up and harvest the corn. There's a plant with two sticks on it." "

Old master lin was a little excited. He rubbed his hands and replied," alright, I' ll take two jars. Dahai dashan and brother bao will take one. "

"Well. "

Lin dahai and the others were delighted as well. They stepped forward and waited for the old man to break the first strike. They also moved their hands.
