Chapter 782: autumn harvest
"It can be paired with many ingredients, such as fresh lotus root just happened to be at home today."
Yang Laner directed Lichun to choose some old lotus root.
Lichun held a section of white lotus root and asked, "Ma'am, do you really want old lotus root? I think these lotus roots are white and tender, and they look delicious."
"Tender lotus root is delicious, but not suitable for stewing soup."
"Why? Isn't it all lotus root?"
Yang Lan'er was more patient with her little maid, "The young lotus root is crispy, the old lotus root is powdery, and the stewed soup is still delicious."
However, according to personal taste, she likes stewed lotus root anyway.
"Oh, I see, I also like lotus root." After Lichun finished speaking, he happily pawed at the pile of lotus root.
"Ma'am, besides lotus root, what other ingredients can I cook with?"
Sister-in-law Wang wants to ask clearly, next time I can change the taste according to the ingredients.
You don’t need to ask your wife about everything every time, it’s a waste of time and you’re afraid that your wife will get impatient when asked.
"Tonight, put a few big bones and stew together with the old lotus root. Next time, it can be paired with dried cuttlefish, pork ribs, peanuts, sugar cane, etc. Many ingredients can be matched."
In the evening, Qi Xiang stayed for dinner, looking at the table full of chicken, duck and fish, the richness made him salivate, and he had to sigh with emotion.
"In this year and month, only your family can prepare such a sumptuous meal to entertain guests."
Yang Lan'er smiled and said, "These are grown on our farm, and they will be delivered every two days. It's very convenient to eat. Don't you have chickens, ducks and pigs in your farm?"
"The poultry and livestock raised in the farms of many wealthy households in the city froze to death last winter, and I see that his house may be similar!" Tan Anjun came in with a jar of wine, and explained his daughter-in-law's doubts by the way.
"It's not far from what Brother Tan said. Damn Xipi, my family can't do whatever they want to eat meat now!"
From today onwards, there is no need for Qi Xiang to hide her true temperament in front of Yang Lan'er.
Now it’s all right, it’s hard for him to live in this ancient times!
The two children shed tears of sympathy for him.
Kun'er moved her buttocks and comforted: "Uncle, it's no big deal, you can come to my house if you want to eat meat in the future. I will ask Aunt Wang to cook meat for you!"
"Really? Then we can talk about it!"
Kun'er stared at her eyes with a very sincere expression: "Well, it's a deal, today our husband taught a gentleman to cultivate his heart, and he is good at sincerity. I am very honest, how could I lie to you!"
"Hey! Your husband taught you well!" He, General Qi, finally had meat to eat.
Next time you see this gentleman, you must thank him well.
"Yes!" Kun'er nodded vigorously, and assured everyone, "I will not lose to the butcher!"
"The butcher?" Qi Xiang was puzzled, what's the matter with the butcher? "Which pig killer in Pengcheng is better than you? You don't belong to the same class at all."
Yang Lan'er and Tan Anjun were also confused and didn't understand the routines of the children.
Puff!
Yu'er listened to the chat between the senior and the junior, and they managed to make him burst out laughing!
Tan Anjun raised his eyebrows, glanced at his eldest son and didn't make a sound.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Yu'er put down the iron and wooden chopsticks, and slowly took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth clean.
Yang Lan'er looked at his son's pretentious appearance, and helplessly helped his forehead.
Her old mother's heart!
"Tan Hanyu!"
Yu'er smiled and shouted at her: "Mother."
He just folded the handkerchief and handed it to the little maid behind him, and swept around the crowd, "Sorry, I couldn't hold back just now, I interrupted Uncle Qi's dinner."
Qi Xiang waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.
"Actually, the pig butcher that Kun'er is talking about is Zeng Zi." Yu'er explained to everyone.
Yang Lan'er buried her head in her meal, this joke was a joke...
Either in the future, their family will still practice not talking when eating or sleeping?
"Zeng Zi?" Qi Xiang.
Tan Anjun's thin lips were slightly raised, and he kindly explained his doubts, "It used to be very beautiful!"
"Ah..." Qi Xiang suddenly realized, then shook his head, and said without blushing, "I don't know, are you famous?"
Yu'er was so panting that she almost choked to death without a mouthful of food!
"Drink some soup!"
Yang Lan'er pushed the soup bowl in front of him. The soup that has been stewed all afternoon has not been eaten yet!
She vowed that the rules on the table must be established in the future!
After washing at night, the couple lay on the bed.
Yang Lan'er asked him: "How much food do you have in your ring? Is there enough clothes and bedding?"
"Yes, I am prepared during this time."
Tan Anjun hugged you sideways, every time he left home, he felt too much reluctance.
"You really don't want me to follow?"
"Is that why you want to enter the military camp?" Tan Anjun couldn't understand what his little wife was thinking. How could a woman want to go to the military camp?
"Ok."
Yang Lan'er mainly wanted to try it on the ancient battlefield, the feeling of 'sweeping thousands of troops at once with a horizontal knife, lying drunk on the battlefield and enjoying themselves'.
"That doesn't work, you just stay at home!"
After finishing speaking, the big cattail palm did not forget to pat her small buttocks a few times.
"Tan Anjun!" Yang Lan'er gritted her teeth!
"Ha ha…"
What he got in exchange was the hearty laughter of the man.
Ahhh! I kill you!
"Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
Tan Anjun grinned his teeth in pain, "If you don't let go, you will be rude to your husband!"
"Don't be polite to me tonight!"
"You said what you said, don't regret it..."
…
After Tan Anjun left, half a month later, the autumn harvest kicked off.
Yang Lan'er and her elder brother bought the wasteland for a whole winter, and this year's weather is good and the weather is good.
Wheat is the first to ripen, so they were the first to reap the wheat.
The various villages plus the wheat field in Huangyuan, nearly 2,000 mu of land, the task is arduous!
Two thousand acres may seem like a lot, but in fact it needs to support hundreds of people from all over the place, so it is not much to share.
Of course, it was impossible for many slaves to feed them fine grains, and they all depended on coarse grains.
It took ten days for all the wheat to enter the granary.
The next step is rice, but it is the first time that rice is planted this year, and the quantity is so small that it will not take a few days.
These fine grains are enough for the family to eat, and the rest will be sold slowly in the grain store.
It is much more cost-effective than selling wheat grains directly!
When the sweet potatoes were ready to be harvested, Mr. Cheng, the magistrate of Pengcheng County, came to him.
"Xiang Jun is well! The next official is here to disturb you."
"Hi, Mr. Cheng, are you here for something?" Yang Lan'er could guess a little bit.
You said it would come sooner or later, and it was time to collect potatoes and sweet potatoes.
"To be honest, the next official came here by order."
Master Cheng is not hypocritical, he explained the purpose of coming here.
He was also ordered in the face of danger. In the past few years, God has really committed crimes. Years of disasters have caused the national treasury to urgently need food to fill.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes are a miracle, how can His Majesty not pay attention to them?
"Xiaguan wants to wait for your potatoes and sweet potatoes to be dug up and then transport them away. These will be the seeds for next year."
Yang Lan'er has no objection, it's best to cash it out directly, she doesn't rely on this food to fill her stomach, let it maximize its benefits, she is happy to see it succeed!
