Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Liu Maoye and others also looked at Liu Yu, waiting for his decision.

"Also, please help A Lan and ask the master if he is willing to exchange. We can't just take it without asking." Liu Yu's attitude was firm.

Pei Lan took a fixed look at Liu Yu and suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask in person right now."

After Pei Lan left, Liu Maoye looked at Liu Yu and wanted to say something. When he finished speaking, he sighed softly and turned to look at the door of the room, hoping that Pei Lan would bring good news when he appeared again.

Liu Maoye said nothing, and Liu Fan and the others did not dare to provoke Liu Yu, who was sitting quietly.

After a while, Pei Lan came in from the outside with a smile on his face.

"The master agreed. He loves to eat game from the mountains very much. In addition to the three hundred kilograms of long-lasting fruit, he will also bring some dried mushrooms and two live pheasants. This means you can do whatever you want. Use Fangzi’s tariff.”

When everyone heard this, they all smiled. These things are not difficult at all. They can prepare three hundred kilograms of longevity fruits in one day. The three families have mushrooms that are dried every year, and each family can have a bag of them. .

Pheasants require some effort, but you can always find them within a day or two of careful searching.

Liu Maoye breathed a sigh of relief. The master who made the dim sum seemed to be a kind person.

Liu Maoye and others all looked at Liu Yu, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Okay!" Liu Yu nodded heavily: "Alan, don't worry, we will never spread this dim sum recipe of chestnut cake to anyone else. If anyone in the family can't keep his mouth shut, I will break his legs."

After that, he looked at Liu Fan emphatically. He still remembered that none of his sister-in-law's family members were economical.

When Liu Fan saw his father and brothers staring at him, he hurriedly complained.

"Go back and keep an eye on your wife. If she lets out a word, I will send her home." It was not easy to talk about family matters in other people's territory, so Liu Maoye warned Liu Fan and stopped talking.

Pei Lan was a little happy to see it. This was what made him like the Liu family. Although the three families were separated, they could still help each other and work together as a team in times of trouble.

If his family was like this, his father would be able to worry less. Thinking of his relatives who took his restaurant as their own, Pei Lan felt sick.

These people thought of marrying him off in a hurry so that they could get married, but he didn't get what they wanted.

It was getting late, so Pei Lan hurriedly ordered a few dishes to be served so that they would not rush on too late and the road would be unsafe, and they talked while eating.

"The most important thing about chestnut shortbread is the crust and fillings. If the crust is well made, the shortbread will be half successful."

Liu Yu Liu Mao Ye Liu Yan When the others heard this, they quickly put down their chopsticks and wrote it down carefully.

“When kneading the skin, we divide it into water-oil skin and puff pastry. Water-oil skin is kneaded with flour, lard, sugar, and warm water, while puff pastry only needs to be kneaded with lard and flour…”

"Then divide the water-oil dough and pastry dough into small pieces, wrap the pastry dough like a steamed bun, roll it out first, then roll it up, let it rest for a while, then roll it into a skin, and then you can wrap the chestnut filling."

Pei Lan explained in detail to several people the ratio of water-oil crust and puff pastry, flour to lard and sugar.

The proportion of lard and sugar added to the chestnut filling is also explained in detail.

When everyone heard that the ratio of chestnuts to sugar and lard in the filling was almost ten to one to four, they understood why Pei Lan's chestnut cake was so sweet and soft.

How can their farmers be willing to put so much sugar and lard.

Pei Lan gave a very detailed and clear explanation, and also highlighted some points that needed attention.

"As the saying goes, it's easy to see flowers but difficult to embroider. You'll get started after trying a few times."

Leading the ox cart, several people said goodbye to Pei Lan at the back door of the restaurant.

Perhaps because of this happy event, several people were very happy along the way.

Driven by this good mood, the tired body became energetic again.

Several people were planning together whether to catch pheasants first or to pick up longevity fruits.

To catch pheasants, one should catch them with bare hands or use traps.

Several topics were discussed over and over again until it got darker and darker. The few people slowly stopped talking, lit torches, and carefully drove the bullock cart on the way back to the village.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Liu Yu heard a faint cry, and there seemed to be a scolding from the village chief.

"Did you hear anything?" Liu Yan whispered.

"Yes!" A few people nodded, carefully led the ox cart across the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, and looked behind a bamboo forest not far away in search of the sound.

Several families lived there, including He Dayong and Tian Jiawang from the village.

The sound of crying reached the ears of several people along with the sound of the wind. Everyone listened attentively. Liu Yu said: "It is the voice of He Dayong's mother-in-law, Mrs. Ren."

I felt a little strange in my heart. Yesterday, this woman was so crazy that she brought her mother-in-law's conspicuous bag to show her nephew at home. How could she cry like this in one day?

Liu Yu was disgusted with this provocative woman. Seeing Liu Shan turn around and turn into the road covered by the bamboo forest, she wanted to watch the excitement, but ignored him and walked home holding a torch.

Liu Maoye and others were also a little curious, but at the moment the things in the car were more important, and the cattle they borrowed had to be returned, so it was not easy to stop here and watch the excitement, and it would be awkward for others to bump into them, so they followed Liu Yu all the way back. Old house.

At home, Liu Fusheng and the old lady were still waiting in the room. When they heard the noise coming from the yard, they hurried out.

Seeing that both the cows and people got home safely, I felt relieved.

"Wash your hands, everyone, and go to the house to rest first." Mrs. Nian took out a basin of water from the kitchen and greeted her grandchildren.

Liu Fusheng and Liu Maoye stopped the cattle cart together and returned the cattle to Huang Laosan's house.

After a few people cleaned up their faces, the old lady led her son and grandson to the east room.

As soon as she sat down, the old lady stretched out her hand: "Bring it here!"

"What are you bringing?" Looking at the old lady's outstretched palm, Liu Maoye didn't react for a moment.

"Today's money." Nian looked at San'er with a smile.

"Oh, oh..." Liu Maoye quickly took out a cloth bag from his arms and put it on the Kang table in front of my mother.

Seeing my mother reaching out to open the cloth bag, Liu Maoye hurriedly explained that most of the money from the sale today was used to buy things.

Nian glanced at Liu Maoye and said nothing. When the cloth bag was completely opened, she looked at the copper coins that were more than half less than yesterday. The old lady said, "Where did you spend it? What did you buy?"

Liu Maoye told the whole story that all three families had bought the paper pattern tools for carving money.

"This is business. It takes a lot of effort to carve this thing. How long will it take you to carve it all if you buy so many." Nian has always supported the family's efforts to make money.

The farmland at home is just enough to make ends meet. If you want to live a better life, besides cutting back on expenditure, you also need to increase revenue.

"Now at the end of September, there are still more than two full months, which is enough."

After Liu Maoye finished speaking, Liu Yu and others nodded in agreement. It would take such a long time to finish the carving.

After explaining the matter of the money, the old lady also counted all the coins on the table.

There were five strings of large coins in total, and a total of thirty-one copper coins.
