Through the small days of farming

Mingde was holding a big white steamed bun in his hand, "I'm eating steamed buns for breakfast today, look, isn't it delicious?"

"Pfft, it looks delicious, is this the breakfast that Mingde brought over for brother?" Bai Niannian deliberately teased him.

Mingde: "This is mine, brother is still behind."

Brother Ning actually knew how to make steamed buns, and they looked well fermented. Bai Niannian stretched out his hand to poke them, and they were as soft as imagined.

It's a bit boring to eat porridge for breakfast every day. Perhaps their menu can be changed?

"Brother Ning, your breakfast is here." Before Brother Ning stepped through the door, he heard his voice.

"I didn't expect you to be able to make steamed buns. I don't eat corn buns anymore. Let's make one another day!" Bai Niannian asked aggressively.

"If you like to eat, you can get it yourself." Ning Ge'er is not used to him.

"Forget it, we'll talk about it when we have time." Bai Niannian picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. It would be even more delicious if he had a cup of sweet soy milk to go with it.

When Bai Niannian finished his breakfast, the chestnuts in the pot were cooked.

He and Ning Ge'er worked together to pour them into cold water, and they expanded with heat and contracted with cold, which made it easier to peel.

Then the four of them started working together. The three little guys ran around the house chasing the puppy. Now their little friends all went to the mountains to pick chestnuts. No one played with them, so they just Can play with Baibai at home.

When you are tired from practicing calligraphy, take a break and play with Bai Bai for a while.

The four of them worked very quickly, and they peeled a bunch of chestnuts in a short time, leaving the rest to Mrs. Li Ze. The two of them started to close the kitchen door and make snacks inside. Lift the cooked ones out of the pot for them to peel, and then take the peeled ones back in to continue working.

With two more people, their speed has increased significantly. What they usually can make in one morning can now be made in half a morning.

"Brother Nian, we are back."

"Why did you come back so soon?" According to the normal time, aren't they still selling snacks in the town at this time? ?

Could something have happened? !

Bai Niannian thought worriedly while walking outside.

"A family in the town asked us to order five hundred catties of dim sum." Chen Mingren said happily, "Five hundred catties, we don't have to go to the town for these two days, let's drive out these five hundred catties of dim sum first!"

"He made all the dim sum on our bullock cart."

"Why does he want so many snacks?" Bai Niannian asked curiously.

"I don't know, but he gave us half of the deposit. Even if they don't want it, we can take it to the town and sell it. We can't lose money."

"Uh-huh."

"Then you two can work in the kitchen! Ning Ge'er and I peeled chestnuts with them."

"Okay, no problem." Chen Mingren washed his hands, and walked into the kitchen with Shen Wei.

Four people came together, but the speed of the two men could barely keep up. The result was that the cooked chestnuts couldn't keep up.

Looking at the time, it's almost time to make lunch, "Brother Ning, go back and make lunch! Just leave it to us."

"Well, then I'll go back first." Ge'er Ning washed his hands and went home. The meals for six adults and three children are quite a lot, and the men in his family can eat two for each.

Since noon, people have come to sell chestnuts one after another, but Bai Niannian still accepts as much as he has.

Seeing Mrs. Li Ze peeling chestnuts at their house, I couldn't help asking him a few questions. There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so he would answer honestly.

Many people in the village were moved, and they came to ask if they wanted someone else?

It is enough to invite two people, no matter who comes, Bai Niannian will refuse them all.

It didn't take long for everyone to know about this matter, and there were quite a few people who envied Mrs. Li Ze overtly and secretly.

Even his uncle was jealous, and came to the door with a chestnut, and only after collecting the money did he say, "I heard that you are looking for someone to work here? Fifty coins a day includes two meals?"

"Well, that's right." Bai Niannian admitted generously.

"Brother Nian, you are still young and ignorant. Of course, you have to ask your own family to do this kind of thing. As the saying goes, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. How about my two daughters-in-law?" Chen Li said earnestly. .

Acting as if he really is an elder who really cares for him.

How dare he provoke someone from Uncle's family?

"It's not up to me to decide. Uncle, just ask Mingren! These important matters are all considered by Mingren." Bai Niannian spoke nonsense in a serious manner, trying to fool people away.

He dared not go to Ming Ren.

After sending off Mrs. Chen, Bai Niannian went to Brother Ning's house to get two lunch boxes. These lunch boxes had lids, or his man made them according to what he said.

There is a lid on it to keep it warm as long as it can, and to prevent people in the village from seeing what they bring home.

At noon today, they ate the steamed buns they ate in the morning, and they ate them with white porridge, which was convenient to make and relieve hunger.

The steamed buns just made were still steaming, and he was full after eating one steamed bun and a bowl of porridge.

He went back to look at the fire first. There were still chestnuts boiling in the pot. It was a trivial matter if they were burnt, and he was afraid that the pot would burn out.

When he passed Yuge'er's house, he happened to see a man jumping off the wall of Yuge'er's house.

"Li Sancheng?" Bai Niannian asked himself looking at his running away figure.

It should be him, running to find Brother Yu at noon?

Bai Niannian knocked on the door, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement, "Brother Yu—"

Nothing will happen to Brother Yu, right?The man ran away when he saw him just now. Could it be a problem?

When he was about to find someone to break open the door and was about to break in, the door finally opened from the inside, "What are you doing? It's so loud at noon that I can't sleep."

"Brother Hua, are you at home? I saw a man jumping from the wall next to him just now, and no one answered when he knocked on the door. I thought something was wrong?"

"Brother Yu went to the mountain. The person who jumped off the wall was Li Sancheng. He came to look for Brother Yu. He came to deliver chestnuts just now." Brother Hua yawned and said, "If there is nothing else, I will continue Go back to take a nap."

"It's too unsafe for a big man like Li Sancheng to come in and out of your house. Can't you go through the front door openly?" Bai Niannian said worriedly, "If he has any bad intentions, both of you will suffer. .”

"Okay, okay, I'll tell him, and the door at the back is locked all the time, he can't get in." Brother Hua wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, "I'm going to take a nap."

"Okay, I'll go first." After walking a few steps, he met two Aunt Chen coming out from his house.

Sure enough, as Ning Geer said, he put on new clothes and wore a silver bracelet that he had never seen before?

"Brother Nian, where have you been? Why don't you see you at home?"

"I went to Brother Ning's house for lunch. It's inconvenient to make dim sum at home, so I eat with them these days." Aunt Chen's tone of voice was a bit strange, but Bai Niannian told him the truth without thinking too much.

"Oh okay!"

Seeing that he had something to say but couldn't say it, Bai Niannian asked, "Why is Aunt Chen looking for me?"

"Auntie came here to ask you for help. It's actually a trivial matter. It depends on whether you are willing to help?"

"What's a small matter? I'll definitely help if I can." Bai Niannian asked.

"Actually, it's nothing. Don't you need someone to work in your family? How about my two daughter-in-laws? They work well and quickly." Aunt Chen looked at him enthusiastically.

"This! I really can't help you with this. I have already invited enough people, so I don't need to ask for help for the time being." Bai Niannian looked at him apologetically.

"Can't we just replace them?" Aunt Chen said naturally.

"What did you say?" Bai Niannian wondered if he heard it wrong, how could Aunt Chen say such words.

"No, no, what I mean is that it's better to be familiar with people than unfamiliar people. Who knows if they have bad intentions? But the two in my family are different. One is more honest than the other." Aunt Chen quickly explained, and tried her best to persuade him, "It's more safe for my family to use this work."

"You can't break your word. You have already made an agreement with them. If you invite them to work, you can hire them. What's the point of dismissing them halfway?" Bai Niannian still disagreed.

"Can you just find a reason so that they don't have to come again?"

"This is really not good. They didn't make a mistake. Even if they made a mistake, they can't just drive people away." Bai Niannian insisted on disagreeing.

"Oh, forget it!" Seeing that he was unwilling to help, Aunt Chen dropped this sentence and went home.

"I'll keep it for them next time I have a chance." Bai Niannian shouted to his back, but he didn't know if he heard it, and Aunt Chen didn't respond to the movement he heard.

Is Aunt Chen angry?He must have read it wrong. I've been a little tired recently, and my eyes are blurred. How could Aunt Chen have such an indifferent expression.

He reached out and tapped his head. He was so stupid that he was not making dim sum, yet he suspected that Aunt Chen and the others and Aunt Chen's family were good people.It was so difficult for their family at the beginning, and they survived with the help of their family.

Bai Niannian thought about it for a few seconds, then put this matter behind her, and walked home quickly.
