After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

In the evening, Li Xiangping and the others came back in a bullock cart with obvious smiles on their faces.

Needless to say, today's affairs must have gone smoothly. Before Li Xiangping and the others could report today's situation to Yan Qingqing, village chief Li Kaishan and several elders in the village arrived.

Of course, Mr. Li also came with him. This matter was considered a big deal in both the Li family and Canghe Village. After all, no one in Canghe Village could see the county magistrate.

Yan Qingqing's house is small, and the elders didn't choose. They moved a small bench and sat in the yard.

The village chief was the first to ask: "How's it going? Have you met the county magistrate?"

Li Xiangping nodded and replied: "I saw him, but I just glanced at him from a distance. The county magistrate is very kind."

The magistrate of Chengyang County is from the Ling family, one of the four major families in Beijing. Logically speaking, he should not come to this small place to be the magistrate. There may be some inside story, but of course this is not something Yan Qingqing can know.

However, Magistrate Ling is indeed a good official. He has done a lot of good things for the people since he took office last year and is quite popular among the people.

Li Kaishan was relieved when he heard Li Xiangping say that the county magistrate was kind, and then asked: "Please tell me about the specific situation today, and let us old guys gain some insights."

Mr. Li glanced at Li Kaishan, took a puff of dry cigarette and said, "I told you to let my grandson take a breath. It's not a big deal, why are you in such a hurry."

Li Kaishan:......

Seeing Mr. Li's arrogant look, Li Kaishan couldn't help complaining in his heart, "This is going to be your eldest grandson. I didn't see you so proud when the family was separated."

But it is impossible for Li Kaishan to say this. After all, these children are the grandsons of Mr. Li, and Yan Qingqing is the daughter-in-law of Li Erniu.

In fact, Li Kaishan has clearly seen that the key to whether the Li family can rise is not Li Chengye, but Yan Qingqing and Li Xiangping.

Li Xiangping calmed down and said, "The county magistrate's harvest banquet was held very grandly, and many prominent people in the county attended.

Yuelaiju also makes the best banquet noodles, and one of the popular dishes is our family's Fenghong. The county magistrate hopes that we ordinary people can also live a prosperous life.

Moreover, the county magistrate said that even pigs can be made so delicious, which shows that we have a real business. He hopes that this flip red can be promoted in Chengyang County and become a major specialty food in Chengyang County. "

Yan Qingqing nodded secretly after hearing this. It seemed that Magistrate Ling had some real abilities. Only with its own characteristics can a county stand out and attract more people.

Whether it is landscape or food, as long as others can think of its place of origin, it is undoubtedly a success.

The village chief was also very happy after hearing this. As long as Canghe Village registered with the county magistrate, he would be one step closer to the position of chief.

Thinking of this, Li Kaishan looked at Yan Qingqing, mother and son with even more eager eyes. At the same time, he was glad that he was fair in dealing with things and never bullied Yan Qingqing and his orphans and widowed mother.

After sending Mr. Li and the village chief away, Li Xiangping took out 100 taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them to Yan Qingqing.

Yan Qingqing was stunned when she saw such a large denomination of silver notes. It wasn't that she had never seen the world, and it wasn't that she didn't have 100 taels of silver at home.

But the 100 taels of silver notes suddenly made her feel like a sudden windfall. After all, her current wealth was accumulated bit by bit.

Seeing Yan Qingqing in a daze, Li Xiang'an quickly explained: "Mom, these 100 taels of silver were rewarded by the county magistrate. He said that if our family's flip red becomes the specialty of Chengyang County, then our family will have made a great contribution, even if it fails. By making such delicious food, we have made a contribution to food lovers around the world.”

Yan Qingqing understood that Magistrate Ling was a foodie.

Since it was a reward, she had to accept it. Anyway, she was short of money now. With this money, Yan Qingqing could do a lot of things.

Just when the villagers in Canghe Village were worried that planting crops would be delayed if it didn't rain, it suddenly started raining.

As if to make up for the absence of rain for so many days, the rain came hard and fast. The sound of rain hit the thatched houses, and the entire Canghe Village was looming in the rain and fog.

Yan Qingqing was in good spirits at first. It was rare to have a leisure time on a rainy day. Sitting by the window and listening to the rain was also a kind of enjoyment.

But the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it had no tendency to stop. Not only was it raining heavily outside, but it started to rain lightly inside the house.

Yan Qingqing discovered that the house they lived in actually leaked. Because the rain was too heavy, they could not climb to the roof to repair it.

Yuan Huiniang and Li Xiniang took the basin and placed it in the place where the rain was leaking. Despite this, the room was still wet.

Yan Qingqing's mood suddenly lost its beauty. She felt a little embarrassed for a modern person who had been living in ancient times for so long without even getting a new house.

As Yan Qingqing sighed, the rain finally stopped after two days, and Yan Qingqing's mood improved instantly.

This rain is really timely for the people in Chengyang County, because with this rain, crops can be planted.

Yan Qingqing also attaches great importance to it. After all, no matter how much money you have, it is not as important as having a full stomach. So everyone in the family went to the ground except for the braised pig who went to the city to deliver goods.

Yan Qingqing couldn't sit still and took her whole family to work in the fields. Even her business with Jinsheng Pavilion was suspended.

Yan Qingqing specially asked Li Xiangping to bring the sweet potatoes and potatoes to the field. It had just rained and it was a good time to raise seedlings.

Yuan Huiniang looked at the pregnant Yan Qingqing and said quickly: "Mom, just watch from the side. Just tell us what we need to do."

In ancient rural areas, it was normal to work with a pregnant belly. When the original owner was pregnant with her first few children, she was still working until the day before the birth.

Yan Qingqing smiled and replied: "The doctors have said that more activities are beneficial to production. Besides, this is not a lot of work."

After speaking, Li Xiangping asked Li Xiangping to build a few furrows, then cut the sweet potatoes and potatoes into small pieces, arrange them and put them in the furrows, and finally sealed them with soil.

Li Xiangping looked at Yan Qingqing's simple operation and asked in disbelief: "Mom, is it so easy to grow things in this country?"

Yan Qingqing smiled and replied: "This thing looks simple, but it actually has requirements.

Take this type of pancake for example. The type you choose must be plump and smooth on the outside. This type of pancake is juicy inside when cut into pieces. One pancake can be cut into three or four pieces.

But it is necessary to ensure that there are buds on each piece, so that the banana will grow vigorously in the later period.

And before planting, it is best to dry it in the sun for a day.

There are also certain requirements for the depth of digging holes and the spacing of seeds when raising seedlings.

Of course, this is only the preliminary work of raising seedlings, and transplanting will be carried out after the seedlings emerge. "

When Li Xiangping thought about it, it was true that Yan Qingqing seemed casual, but he was still very organized. I couldn't help but sigh: "Mom, you know so much. I will definitely learn more from my mother in the future."

Yan Qingqing felt a little guilty after hearing this. In fact, all these she knew were theories and she had never actually done anything. It would be a shame if these things didn't sprout by then.
