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

Su Ziling broke off more and peeled the shells. She cut the grass and tied it into a bundle.

The bamboo shoots were of different lengths. She put the long ones outside, sandwiched the short ones in the middle, tied them in a bundle and carried them away.

When he returned to Su Zimu's side, the ghost needle grass on his hair had been removed once, his complexion was obviously much better, and his whole person was much more active.

Su Yonghe carried a basket of ice powder fruits and the bundle of bamboo shoots on his back. Su Ziling, a sister and brother, each carried a basket of ice powder fruits and a sack.

When the three of them returned home, there were already many children selling ice powder fruits in the yard with baskets on their backs.

Su A'nai was a bit busy on her own, so she weighed and settled the money.

"Grandma, let me weigh you." Su Ziling put down her backpack and went to help.

Hearing her voice, Su A'nai noticed that they were back. She glanced at the harvest of the three of them, her eyes full of smiles, "Hey, you're back? The harvest looks pretty good, right?"

"I thought we would come back to cook and make pancakes in the afternoon, so we came back a little early, otherwise we could still look around there." Su Ziling weighed the ice powder fruit with a weight.

"Exactly ten pounds of milk."

"Here, I'll give you money. Go home quickly and don't go out to play, you know?" Su A'nai gave the child a penny and reminded them to go home quickly, for fear that they would lose the money in their fun.

"I know, Azu, if I don't go out to play, my mother-in-law is still waiting for me to go back for dinner." The little girl held the money tightly in her hand, smiled very happily, and jumped up and down with the basket on her back. Just went back.

After weighing several in a row, they all weighed just ten pounds. Su Ziling also understood that they probably weighed them before coming back.

It didn't take much time to weigh all the seven or eight children. Looking at the ice powder fruits drying on the sunbathing mat, Su A'nai thumped her waist.

"This little thing is small but still has a very weak waist. If it is dried in the sun, it probably weighs only a few kilograms. Even if it is picked from the mountains, it only weighs one hundred and eighty kilograms of seeds, and it cannot be sold for much. "

Su Ziling smiled so hard that her eyes were crooked, "One kilogram of ice powder seeds can make thirty kilograms of ice powder, which is about seventy bowls. We sell a bowl for five cents, and one kilogram of ice powder seeds is three hundred and fifty." Wen Zuo."

As she spoke, she pinched her chin and said, "If it's like what you said, grandma, if it weighs a hundred pounds, it can be sold for more than thirty taels of silver."

"How many?"

Before Su A'nai could speak, Su Zimu's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

Su Ziling glanced at him, "If it really weighs a hundred pounds, it would be about thirty-five taels. Anyway, it's almost three hundred and fifty cents per pound."

Su A'nai instantly felt that her waist no longer hurt. She poured out everything Su Ziling and the others had carried back, and spread it thinly on the sunbathing mat.

Then he brought a small stool and rubbed out the dried ones, "I'll rub it for a while, and you can go cook after a while."

Su Ziling: "..."

Su A'nai didn't look like this just now. She had clearly said "I'm quitting my job" on her face just now. In the blink of an eye, it was as if she had been given a shot of blood.

Even Su Zimu's eyes were shining, "I can't believe that this thing is so valuable. In the early years, I only cut it back to feed the chickens..."

Thinking of how he would cut the ice pink tree back in baskets one after another when it was still young and feed it to the chickens, I felt so heartbroken. It was all money. If he hadn't cut it when it was young and kept it till now, it would probably be sold for a lot of money. It’s over.

Mr. Su and the others haven't come back from picking tea yet. Su A'nai is rubbing ice powder seeds, Su Ziling is cooking, and Su Zimu just picked up a basket and planned to go out for a walk again.

If you can pick a little bit, it's all money.

In the afternoon, she was going to make moon cakes and fry tea leaves. Mr. Su and the others were probably going to continue picking tea. The mountains were high and the roads were far away, so they were afraid of starving if they ate sparingly, so Su Ziling made dry rice as their staple food.

I left a few of the thicker August melon skins I ate last night on the table, and cut Su Ziling into shreds for frying the bacon.

She tore off the skin of the remaining taro stalks and used them for frying. Before the pickled fish was finished, she warmed it up casually.

There is half of the spicy crab left, mainly because I caught too much, and there were too many dishes last night so I couldn't finish it.

She exploded it again and fished it out.

She had braised pig head meat and fat intestines last night. She cut a bowl out and steamed them in a steamer.

She cut the newly broken bamboo shoots into slices and blanched them in a pot, fished them out and soaked them in a basin. She cut a piece of pork belly she bought yesterday and used them to make twice-cooked pork and stir-fried bamboo shoots.

After the dishes were out of the pot, no one came back, so she put the spicy crabs outside and put the others in the pot to warm.

She took out a piece of gauze and scooped out two cups of dry ice powder seeds with a cup. While she had time now, she planned to make the ice powder and hang it in the well. Then she would eat it when it was hot during the day, when it would be ice cold. It's cold.

She first poured out the warm water from the kettle and let it dry before looking for ingredients.

There is ready-made maltose at home, and she always uses maltose to make hair cakes. She bought it once before, but the price was too expensive, so she made it herself.

She diluted the maltose with water and set it aside for later use.

I also found some peanuts, walnuts, and sesame seeds and fried them. There was no fruit at home, so I had to add these.

After frying, crush the walnuts and peanuts, add the sesame seeds, mix well and set aside.

Finally, there was lime, but she couldn't find it. "Grandma, do you have any lime at home?"

"Lime?" Su A'nai murmured, "It doesn't seem to exist, but there seems to be gypsum for making tofu. Do you want gypsum? If you want it, I'll look for it."

plaster?

Lime is also used to make tofu. The gypsum and lime that Su A'nai mentioned are actually just different names.

Su Ziling nodded, "Yes."

Grandma Su stood up slowly, "Then I'll look for it. I remember there seems to be some in my cabinet. I don't know if it's still there."

She went back to the house and opened the cabinet. Su Ziling followed her, looking at the old objects in the cabinet with great curiosity.

Su Ah Nai put a lot of things in big and small bags. After searching for a while, she finally dug out a small bag.

"I found it," she handed the lime to Su Ziling, "check to see if it's enough. There's only so much. If it's not enough, go borrow some from another store."

"It's enough. Let's make some and taste it first. We won't use much. I'll ask my fourth uncle and the others to help me buy the rest tomorrow."

Su Ziling returned to the kitchen with the lime. She soaked the lime in water and let it settle. She touched the warm water and it had now cooled down.

She put the ice powder seeds into a cloth bag, briefly rinsed the ash on the surface with water, and then put the cloth bag into cold boiled water and rubbed it.

While rubbing, slippery juice will come out of the gauze. At this time, put the gauze into the water. Rub it repeatedly until it feels very slippery, then put it into the water until the pulp no longer comes out and the water in the basin becomes thick. Just thick enough.

At this time, you can slowly add the precipitated lime water. She took two basins and poured them alternately, mixing the lime water while adding it. She also paid attention to the changes in the color and shape of the slurry.

The success of ice powder is crucially related to the proportion of lime water added. If it is less, the texture will be sticky and shapeless. If it is too much, the color will turn green.

Su Ziling observed while stirring, and it was enough when she felt resistance.

She hung the ice powder in the well to prevent others from touching it when fetching water. She also fetched two buckets of water outside.

Looking at the ice powder hanging in the well, Su Ziling smiled, thinking that she would be able to eat the ice powder in a short while, and the smile on her face became even bigger.

Su A'nai glanced at her and said, "Is this done?"

"Okay, but you can't eat it until the afternoon." Su Ziling took a stool, sat next to Su A's milk, and rubbed it with her.

"Ah Nai, are you hungry? If you are, I'll bring you a bowl of rice and eat it first." Su Ziling ate a sweet potato in the morning, so she's not hungry yet, but Su Ah Nai probably didn't eat much.

"I'm not hungry. I guess your grandpa and the others will be back soon. Let's eat together when they come back."
