In the afternoon, Lin Laosan went to the village, and Lin Yi and Zheng Yu boiled the bamboo shoots at home and soaked them.
The jelly on Zheng Yu's side had also solidified, so Zheng Yu cut it into pieces, found the seasoning, and first made a portion to taste.
Spicy, not as delicate as jelly made from peas. The jelly made from turtledove leaves is edible, but it has a smell of leaves, and the taste can be covered up. Just add more seasoning.
The most practical thing is that the turtledove leaves are convenient to make jelly.
In addition to the spicy flavor, it can also be eaten with sugar. After trying both flavors, Lin Yi still prefers the spicy flavor, while children prefer the sweet one. It seems that no matter what it is, as long as it is sweet They will love it.
Zheng Yu cut the leftover jelly into big pieces and put it in big pieces, mixed a bowl for the children to eat, and didn't give any more, so they couldn't let them eat too much after eating.
It's not easy for them to go out when Lin Lao San is not at home, so they find something to do for themselves, Zheng Yu continues to make his clothes, Lin Yi turned over the herbs and took a few children to dig outside the door The ears are gone.
Now at this time, the sprouts just come out, very tender, delicious, and appetizing, both adults and children like it.
When Lin Yi dug, the children picked it up, and occasionally went to pick wild flowers on the roadside or find a few red fruits to play with, anyway, they were very happy to play.
Lin Laosan didn't come back until it was getting dark, but Lin Yi and the others heard the cry of pigs from a long distance away, Lin Yi hurriedly led a few children to see it, and saw Lin Laosan and one of them catching a piglet go home.
Seeing Lin Yi approaching, Lin Laosan immediately said to him: "Third boy, go and clean up the pigsty."
Lin Yi hurried back and told Zheng Yu to clean up the pigsty. The pigsty was a small room with a wooden pig trough inside, but it hadn't been used since it was put in.
Lin Yi opened the door, Zheng Yu poured water into the pig trough, and waited for Lin Laosan to put the piglet into the pigsty.
The two piglets are both black. There are no white pigs in this era, and they are all black pigs. They are very energetic and weigh only sixty to seventy catties. After going to the pen, I was a little shy, so I found a corner and stood shivering, without even looking at the pig trough.
Lin Laosan asked Zheng Yu to fill him with water in a spoon, put it in his mouth, and asked Lin Yi to use a wooden stick to drive the pig to the middle of the pigsty. Lin Laosan sprayed water on the two pigs, and his mouth He still muttered something, but Lin Yi didn't understand a single word.
Lin Laosan laughed after spraying, "I finally feel at ease now."
Then he turned his head and said to Lin Yi: "Go and pull some pigweed and feed the raw ones first, and cook them tomorrow morning."
The person who brought the pig here was a pig seller, and Lin Yi had seen it before, and he didn't have much contact with him. After saying hello, he went out to pull pigweed.
He doesn't know many pigweeds, but when he was digging Zheergen, he saw a lot of Zheergen leaves, and plantain seed and water celery growing nearby. Pigs can eat things that people can eat, Lin Yi. I thought so, so I cut it vigorously and put it in the basket, and when the basket was almost half full, I carried it back and sent it to the pigsty.
Although the little piglets are afraid of strangers, they can still move around when no one is around. Lin Yi went over to lure them with green pigweed, and then the two little piglets ran over happily.
Lin Yi tossed them in one by one, and seeing the little piglets eating happily, he felt that he was more motivated to cut pigweed.
After feeding, Lin Yi went to cut two baskets and put them in the pot. When he woke up tomorrow morning to cook, Zheng Yu also dug out the sack of corn that was distributed to his family. They used to eat it themselves. But now that the conditions at home are better, there is no shortage of this mouthful of corn paste, and it will be eaten by moths after a long time, so it is better to feed it to pigs.
But you have to grind the corn into cornmeal first.
Lin Laosan didn't object when he saw them doing this. Only by raising the piglets well can they have more pork to eat.
Lin Laosan also said: "This year we will order a variety of sweet potatoes, and only then will pigs eat them."
Sweet potato vines and sweet potatoes are basically fed to pigs when they are planted. If there are more varieties, they don't need to run around to cut pigweed.
During the meal, Lin Laosan told Lin Yi about the situation of the food, "I asked several companies, and they all said that they were sold in the town. It seems that we have to go to the town to buy it ourselves."
Lin Yi said: "It's okay, it's the same if you go to the town to buy. If you buy a lot, you can ask the store to help send it back."
"That's good, I'm afraid we will be troublesome to carry it by ourselves. It's too heavy, and we have to run back and forth several times."
"If we don't give it away, we can still find an ox cart by ourselves!" Lin Yi felt that this was not a problem, and he was even thinking about raising a cow.
Lin Yi told Lin Laosan about this idea, but Lin Yi didn't agree, "Forget about it, the house looks like it is now, and the cattle are not easy to raise, so let's not talk about it for now, third boy, this is building a house in the village What do you think about the matter? The houses in this town have been bought, when will the village start repairing?"
Lin Laosan estimated that the most persistent thing was the house.
It's really not the case to live in thatched cottages in the village all the time, so what should be repaired in this house still needs to be repaired.
Lin Yi said: "Father, how about this, let's choose the place first, and then find someone to start the construction, what do you think?" Since Lin Laosan was so persistent, Lin Yi also felt that it would be better to repair it, so he decided to settle the matter as soon as possible. It's best to come down.
Lin Laosan said: "I have been looking at this place for a long time, and I even asked someone to look at it. There is a vacant lot over there that has been opened up and nothing is planted. I've found someone to be optimistic about it, and it will be at the end of this month."
Lin Yi was a little surprised when he heard Lin Laosan's words, but he didn't expect Lin Laosan to find someone to settle his days quietly.
"Father, since you have arranged everything, let's find someone to start the construction as soon as possible. The bricks and wood must be prepared first. I will buy the bricks and the wood will be handed over to you. Do you think so?"
"Success," Lin Laosan agreed, "I will find someone to go up the mountain to chop wood tomorrow." The wood is used to make the beams of the house. used.
Then Lin Yi also thought of a problem, that is, the problem of wages.
"Father, how much should we pay per day for hiring someone to repair the house?"
Lin Yi really didn't know the market.
Lin Laosan thought for a while and said: "In the past two years, no one has repaired houses in the village. A few years ago, everyone gave ten cents a day, including a lunch at noon. This meal must be indispensable. This is It's the village's rule to invite two more people to cook at that time."
Now it's a question of wages. Ten cents may not seem like a lot, but it's actually not too little.
Lin Yi said: "Then I will go to the town tomorrow to inquire about the news, and then we will talk about the salary when I come back. I guess it will not exceed fifteen yuan a day at most."
Upon hearing the price, Lin Laosan shook his head quickly, "If you don't want it, how can you ask for so much? I think it's only twelve yuan at most. This is enough for meals. From now on, we have to prepare white noodles every day." Steamed buns, you have to eat meat every now and then."
So you have to calculate the cost of meals.
After thinking about it, Lin Yi felt that there was no need to ask, and he made a decision directly, "Father, why don't you just give Twelve Wen a day and include a lunch, do you think so?"
You can't be too picky when asking people to work, otherwise the host will be unhappy, and the workers will also be unhappy, lest you end up offending people by not finishing the work.
But anyone who wants to repair a house must have this preparation in mind when inviting someone to come.
The family is not short of money now, Lin Laosan agreed after thinking about it, "Well, let's make it so, I will go to the village tomorrow to ask."
Basically, people in the village know how to do this kind of work, and they don't invite people from other places to build houses.
The father and son discussed the matter and decided on it.
Lin Yi is going to build a bigger house, and now he can build a small second floor. There is no limit to building a house in a place like them. After all, no matter how well you build it, it will look like that. At most, a large yard and a small second floor , There is no need to think about it if it is too much. If it cannot be repaired, let alone the money is definitely not enough.
The reason why Lin Yi wanted to build the small second floor was that Lin An and his family could move in sometime. They were on the mountain, there were no people around, and the house was not very good, and it was not convenient to do anything on the half slope. , so he thought about letting them move in and live together.
If you are afraid of any conflicts, you don't need to start a fire together, just treat them as neighbors, and the children can have one more playmate.
What's more, if their family goes to the town in the future, there must be people living in the house after it is repaired. It is just right for Lin An and the others to come here, and there is no need to leave the house empty.
After thinking about it for a lifetime, Lin Yi immediately told Lin Laosan, and told him how to repair the house.
Compared with Lin Yi's excitement, Lin Laosan's reaction was not so strong, and he vaguely disagreed, "If you, Brother An, move here to live together, people in this village will probably gossip, but you, Brother An, are fine. I'm afraid that someone will talk about your brother-in-law behind your back."
Lin Yi didn't expect this, but when he thought about it, he felt nothing, "Father, aren't you still there? Brother An is your elder brother, he came here to honor you with me, so what can other people talk about? At that time, please ask Brother An and the others to come over and help, and say that the house was repaired by us together, so it will be fine."
"Well, I'll just talk about this matter. If you think so, then you can decide. If someone says it, let them talk about it!"
Lin Laosan thought about Lin Yi's words, and he also hoped that Lin An would live well. If they lived together, everything would be under their noses, and they would be able to help.
Lin Laosan thought for a while and then said: "But you have to explain this to them first, otherwise, your brother An's temper will not take advantage of you, even if you fix it, he may not agree to come and live. "
Lin Yi waved his hand, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely make it clear to them."
There are many people living in a lively place, and there are not so many twists and turns in everyone's mind. Lin Yi thinks it is good to live together.
As for the other unknown things, he felt that there was no need to think about them, and he couldn't think about them anyway.
The jelly on Zheng Yu's side had also solidified, so Zheng Yu cut it into pieces, found the seasoning, and first made a portion to taste.
Spicy, not as delicate as jelly made from peas. The jelly made from turtledove leaves is edible, but it has a smell of leaves, and the taste can be covered up. Just add more seasoning.
