Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

While the meat was roasting, Su Ziling made several more jars of hot sauce. This time the jars were smaller, each one as big as a child's fist.

What Su Ziling was thinking about was that a jar of hot sauce would be enough for one pound of vermicelli, and with dried vegetables and meat cubes, it would be enough to sell for 200 Wen per pound. If you don't want condiments, it would be 150 Wen per pound. What do you want? Everyone can choose.

It’s better to buy it with seasonings when eating on the road. If you buy it to eat at home, you don’t need seasonings. You can make your own soup and add some vegetables, etc., which will be even more delicious.

The chili sauce made with lard is always not good. If the weather is too hot, it will be easy to melt. It would be better if there is lacquer oil.

While baking, Su Ziling thought that she should take some time to go to Tianmen Mountain to take a look. If there really is a lacquer tree, it will be almost mature in September, and there will be three months of picking time.

"My eldest niece! I'm back!" Su Ziling's mouth twitched when she heard the voice.

Su Yonghe and his brother Su Yongning came back carrying buckets.

During this period, the two brothers carried tofu from house to house and sold it every day. They sold it in Wangjia Village for three days. When there were fewer people buying it, they changed villages.

It can be sold, but the road is too far, but these two boys have grown up with hardship. The thing they are not afraid of the most is suffering. What they are afraid of is starvation.

So they carried tofu farther away every day to sell it, and within seven or eight days, they gained a lot.

People in the village were buying them, so Su Ziling told him that those who had money would give them money, and those who had no money could exchange them with grain.

The items exchanged are of a complete variety, including dried vegetables, fresh vegetables, or brown rice, buckwheat, corn kernels, soybeans, peas, broad beans, etc. Of course, the most exchanged items are corn.

But no matter what you change, as long as it is food, you can eat brown rice by yourself, buckwheat and corn kernels can be ground into flour to make steamed buns and sold, peas and broad beans can be soaked and boiled with bones until they are soft enough to be eaten. very.

You can save more soybeans, and you can also make white tofu or something like that, which is always edible.

Knowing that Su Ziling's family likes to eat wild garlic and sell it, if they meet them on the way back, the two brothers will stop and dig a handful and bring them back.

Sometimes it was a handful of wild vegetables, sometimes a handful of wild garlic. Didn't he eat cold fungus once at Su Ziling's house? Later he came across a few slices, and he picked them all back and gave them to Su Ziling.

At that time, Su Ziling asked him to take home some food. He scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face and said hesitantly that he didn't know how to cook it, so he just asked her to share a bowl with him when it was ready.

Later, every time Su Ziling cooked the dishes he brought back, he would give him a bowl and take them home to share with the three of them.

Su Ziling also said several times that he should not take it and come back directly after selling it. After all, he had other jobs. After selling the tofu, he had to pick leaves. If he was delayed for too long on the road, he might have to pick leaves when he came back in the afternoon. It was dark.

He said it several times, but he didn't listen. Every time he encountered novel fruits or other wild vegetables, he would not let them go and bring them all back to Su Ziling.

"My eldest niece, look at what good things I have brought you today!"

Before Su Yonghe entered the door, a voice full of joy and excitement came in. Listening to his tone, Su Ziling knew that he must have discovered some wild vegetables.

As soon as the door opened, he greeted skillfully, "Sister-in-law, aunt, are you all at home?"

Mother Su smiled and took the bucket from him, "Yes, I was drying vegetables at home today and didn't go out. Why are you back so early today?"

"Tofu is easy to sell. As soon as we howled, those people came out and robbed everything. There was not enough to sell. We will go to this village tomorrow. Their village is big. I have never seen such tofu. I think it can be sold for several times." Oh my god." Su Yonghe put down the basket and went to pick up Su Yongning's bucket.

Mother Su nodded, "There is cold water in the house, go and drink it yourself!"

"Hey, sister-in-law, go and do your work. You don't need to greet us." The two brothers went towards Su Ziling again, and Su Yongning pulled her, "My eldest niece, come and see what I brought you."

Su Ziling's mouth twitched. If she remembered correctly, she seemed to be one year older than him, right?

"Why are you imitating your brother? Can't you just call me by your name? You have to call me my eldest niece." She curled her lips, "It sounds awful."

Su Yonghe chuckled, "There's nothing you can do about it, why are you so junior?" As he spoke, he twitched his nose and said, "What are you roasting? It smells so good!"

"You have a good nose," Su Ziling opened the door, and the smell of meat filled her nostrils. She turned over the meat cubes and grabbed two for them, "I roasted the meat cubes, come and try them."

The meat is not yet dry, and the skin is slightly browned. There are pepper and sesame seeds on it, and it smells spicy.

Su Ziling tasted one. It was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It was very tasty, salty and mild, and slightly spicy. It would go well with chili sauce and dried vegetables.

"Hmm...it's delicious. Is this another new food you've been thinking about?"

Su Yonghe looked at her curiously.

Su Ziling nodded, "Yes, it will be sold with vermicelli. It will be very convenient. As long as you have boiling water, put the vermicelli, dried vegetables, and meat cubes and chili sauce in, and you can eat it in just a cup of tea."

"Is it so convenient?" The brothers' eyes widened.

Seeing Su Ziling nod, Su Yonghe chuckled and said, "I work hard to make money. When I get rich, I will buy some."

Su Ziling's tone was normal, "You want to eat? I'll bring some back to you later."

"No, no, no!" Su Yong and his hands almost turned into afterimages.

He also knew that the things Su Ziling sold were very expensive and they were all used to make money. How could he be shameless enough to eat them?

Their family didn't have much land, and after paying taxes on the food they grew, there wasn't much left over. Most of the time, they relied on wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

Later, he occasionally caught some hares, but he was reluctant to eat them, so he usually traded them for food.

At this time in previous years, he would have been looking for wild vegetables and fungi in the mountains. Others found them for cooking, but he found them for staple food.

Now both brothers have wages, thirty cents a day, which can be exchanged for more than one hundred kilograms of grains in one month, mixed with wild vegetables, sweet potatoes and the like, which can last three months.

So it doesn't matter if it's hard, tiring, and far away. Su Ziling has helped him so much. He can't be like a tick, only getting in and not getting out.

"You were making such a fuss just now, what good thing did you find again?"

Hearing Su Ziling's voice, he came back to his senses and said, "Come and take a look."

The basket was tightly covered. Before Su Ziling could get closer, she smelled a pungent smell and made a guess in her mind.

"Look, do you recognize me?" He took off the leaves covering the basket and filled it with most of the basket of deer-eared leeks.

"Deer-eared leek?" Su Ziling's eyes lit up, she took a handful and smelled it at the tip of her nose.

Su Yonghe: "You know?"

"Yes," Su Ziling took a look and saw that it was quite young, "Where did you find it? Logically speaking, deer ears and leek are already old at this point."

The best time to eat deer-eared leeks is March, April and May. The deer-eared leeks are already blooming in July.

(I took a day off today. I heard everyone said that the pace was slow and boring, so I thought, I should sort out the main story line and speed up the pace.)
