Little wealth

Josh looked at the two people who were making a lot of calculations. He watched the two people talk to each other, and even helped him find the workman. Well, tomorrow I will ask them if they are willing. There are also lotus roots... I know there are people who grow lotus roots in the village, so I will ask them how many lotus roots they have there."

"Let's make some lotus root candies first. If it sells well, we will continue to make it. If no one buys it, we won't make it. We will save the rest for the Chinese New Year. We can eat it until March and April next year."

"Master, don't worry, the lotus root candy we made will definitely sell well!" Caixia was very confident in the lotus root candy they made.

"I hope it's as you said." Josh didn't think so, he felt that he hadn't tried it yet, so how could he be so sure that what they made would be a good seller.

Of course, he also very much hopes that the things they make can be sold and make money.

"If it's easy to make money, I'll give each of you a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year." Only then did Josh remember that he hadn't given them monthly money since he brought them back. Do you want to give them a little money every month?

The reason why he went to buy people back then was because he thought it would be better to help them work with their deeds of sale. In the end, if they have saved enough money, they can also redeem themselves. Of course, the premise is that they give the other party a chance to make money.

Now that he had this idea today, he felt that he should give Aqiu and the others a little money every month from now on.As for how much to give, I will discuss it with their Master Zhao later.

"Then slave will thank master for everyone first." Caixia thanked their master happily.

Aqiu was not interested in big red envelopes, only interested in food, and said: "Master, I don't want red envelopes, why don't you give me two catties of lotus root candy."

"Promise!" Josh couldn't help reaching out and nodding Aqiu's head. Seeing that Aqiu smiled, he also laughed and said, "You can eat the lotus root candied persimmon cakes at home. If you want to eat, you can eat them yourself." Go and get it, you know where it is, so you don’t need to tell me. But don’t eat too much persimmon cake, it hurts your stomach if you eat too much, just eat one or two a day.”

While they were talking, they saw that Ah Mu came back from the outside with the child, and the two of them didn't know where they went.

The child's face was blown red by the wind. It was as red as a little monkey's butt. It was not ugly, and it looked a little cute, but it just made people feel a little funny.

Normally they would keep the child at home all day long, but it was rare for someone to take this kid out for a run, even if his face was flushed by the wind, the child still had a good time playing.When he came back, he flew to his side like a happy little bird, and when he came back, he hugged his leg affectionately, raised his head and called "Daddy" sweetly.

"Where did you and Ah Mo go to play? Did you have such a good time?" Josh stretched out his hand and scratched the boy's nose, asked Caixia to pour two glasses of water over, took the cup and fed some water for the boy to drink , let his mother also sit down and drink some water.

"Carrot, big!" Ah Nian took a sip of water, pointed outside, and gestured a few times with his hands.

"Is it that big?" Josh looked at his son making this arc, very suspicious.

Zhao Amu also sat down and took a sip of water before adding what his grandson said, "I just took him to the field to look at the radishes. The radishes in our field are growing well, so I pulled out two and came back."

"Oh, so that's the case. I haven't been to the field recently, and I don't know how big our radishes have grown." During this period of time, I was busy with the oil workshop at home, and because I was pregnant again, some time ago I was still pregnant. It's a little uncomfortable, but it's better recently, but people are also prone to fatigue. After finishing the oil shop in the morning, I take a nap with my child at noon and wake up in the afternoon, and the day is almost over.

Josh even forgot how long he hadn't been to the field, so he didn't know how the radishes in their field were growing.

"I picked two big ones and pulled them back in the kitchen. You will find out later when you go and have a look. The big one is quite big, and the small one is even smaller." Zhao Amu compared the size of the two radishes , with a smile on his face, said: "In a few days, let's pick the big radishes and pull them back, and then grow the small ones, and we'll harvest them later."

"I also planted some Chinese cabbages over there, and they will be harvested together at that time. There will be no new vegetables until the beginning of next spring."

"Then when are you going to pull the radishes, call me to go with you, maybe I haven't been to the field for a long time." Josh didn't even know about his family's going to the field, probably because he didn't care much about these things, and they The people in the family never told him that they went to work in the fields, so that he has been in this house for such a long time, and the number of times he went to work in the fields can be counted on the fingers.

If the daughter-in-law of other people's family didn't go down to work, she would have been scolded to death by her mother a long time ago. How can she still be like him, who is the one who sleeps last in the family and wakes up every day.

Thinking of these things, he also knew that he was the most favored one in this family besides their son.

The lotus root candy they had just made was placed on the table. Josh took a piece of lotus root candy for his son to eat, and then gave them a piece of it, "Mu, try it. This is the lotus root candy we just made."

"You don't want to go, you are pregnant now, you should be more careful. We will go and take it back at that time, why do you need a workman?" Zhao Amu took the lotus root candy, took a bite, He nodded involuntarily, thinking that this lotus root candy was quite delicious, and asked, "Is this the lotus root candy you mentioned?"

"Yeah, we just discussed making some lotus root candies to sell. What do you think about it, Eum?" Josh told Eminem what they had discussed just now, and asked Eminem to ask them for help. Is there any family in the village that grows lotus roots, "Let's collect lotus roots in our own village first. If there are not many lotus roots in our village, let people go to other villages to ask."

When they heard that they were going to sell this lotus root candy, Zhao Amu did not object.

After listening to what the daughter-in-law said, Zhao Amu said, "I'll ask you about this later."

"Well, I'll trouble Eminem." Josh said with a smile.

"No trouble, no trouble, just ask a few words." Zhao Amu waved her hand and said.

It was almost noon, and knowing that his son was hungry after going out to play all morning, Josh asked Caixia to prepare their lunch. At noon, they ate fish ball noodles, egg pancakes, and freshly steamed pancakes. Glutinous rice lotus root.

The core of glutinous rice lotus root is filled with glutinous rice and red dates. The whole root is steamed on the pot, then taken off and cut into slices, and sprinkled with a little syrup.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m hungry or if the food is too delicious. I saw their son who was stuffing things into his mouth so much that his cheeks were bulging, and his small mouth could hardly be stuffed in. flushed.

Josh quickly grabbed the child's hand, let the child spit out what was in his mouth, took a little soup with a spoon, fed it to his son, and said, "A Nian, eat slowly, and no one will snatch it from you." , let's eat more politely, so that no one will laugh at us when we go out to eat in the future, understand?"

Zhao Amu felt that what the daughter-in-law said made sense, so she turned to her little grandson and said, "Yes, dear grandson, let's eat slowly, take your time, don't worry."

"Yes." Ah Nian pointed to the sweet glutinous rice and lotus root, and shouted for it.

"Then you have to promise me, eat slowly, chew slowly, understand?" Seeing the child nodding, Josh took a slice of lotus root for the child. He took a slice of lotus root and put it in his mouth.

The lotus root they bought is pink, and it is also pink after steaming. The glutinous rice and red dates inside are a bit sweet and glutinous, and with a little syrup, it tastes very good.

It's just a pity that there is no sweet-scented osmanthus syrup at home, otherwise the taste will be even better when poured with sweet-scented osmanthus syrup.

Josh thought that no one had ever seen an osmanthus tree planted in their village. He wanted to wait for Master Zhao to come back and ask his master Zhao to help him look for it when he went to town tomorrow to see where he could buy osmanthus. .

Recently, his appetite for food has also become better and better. Not only did he finish a large bowl of fish ball noodles, he also ate two or three pieces of egg pancakes, and he ate a lot of glutinous rice and lotus root, so that he was careful about lunch I was a little bit full.

"Are you full?" Seeing that their child had also eaten a lot, and his belly was swollen, Josh touched the child's belly, wiped his hands and face, and let him go to the ground. .

The child ran to the door immediately, and it turned out that Ah Huang had come.

Ah Huang let the little master hug his neck, rubbed his head against the little master's chin, and wagged his tail behind his buttocks happily.

"Ah Huang, why are you here? Why don't you guard your wife and children?" After not seeing A Huang come out for a few days, Josh noticed that A Huang seemed a little thinner?He came out, reached out and touched Ah Huang's head, and asked, "Are you hungry? Shall I get you something to eat?"

Fortunately, there was still leftover meat and vegetables in the kitchen from yesterday, so he asked Caixia to heat up some meat. They still had leftover porridge in the morning, so they poured the meat into the porridge and mixed it with the porridge for the dog to eat.

"Let's eat." When the meal came, he pushed the basin in front of Ah Huang, who knew that Ah Huang smelled it, looked up at him, wagged his tail, and looked back, but he didn't eat. Rice on the ground.

In such an instant, he seemed to understand what A Huang meant, and he was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that A Huang in their family knew how to love his wife.

"Caixia, go and get a basket." Thinking that there is a wolf who is not familiar with their family behind, or a female wolf who has just given birth to a cub, Josh dare not go behind, so he had to ask someone to get it. He picked up a basket and came over, put the rice in the basket, hung the basket around Ah Huang's neck, patted Ah Huang on the head, and said, "Go, take it to your daughter-in-law first, and come to me if you don't have enough."

As if he understood what he said, Ah Huang wagged his tail at him, glanced at him, and went to feed his daughter-in-law with the rice.

Looking at the big yellow dog that ran away, even Zhao Amu was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this dog in our family to be so humane, and even know to come to ask for something to eat for my daughter-in-law."

"Yes, Ah Huang has always understood human nature. It should be that the wolf who just gave birth to cubs was hungry, so Ah Huang came out to ask us for something to eat." After knowing that Ah Huang brought his wife back In the past two days, they gave A Huang some more food, but presumably the mother wolf who gave birth to a cub was so hungry that she wanted to nurse her cub, so A Huang ran out to ask them for food for his daughter-in-law and cub.

From this point of view, their Ah Huang is somewhat similar to their Master Zhao?

Josh remembered a sentence he heard before, things are like masters... and couldn't help laughing.

If they went to the backyard to see at this time, they would see Ah Huang carrying the food back to the door of the small wooden house and putting it down. He got up and got out of the wooden house.

The little wolf cubs in the den lost their mother's warmth and made a whining sound.

Ah Huang poked his head and took a look inside, stretched out his head and licked a few wolf pups. Under his father's comfort, the little wolf pups made a much quieter bark.

The female wolf was eating outside, watching the yellow dog poke its head in, but didn't hear the pups barking, and still ate the food in the basin in a leisurely manner. Got some in the basin.

After I was full, I saw the big yellow dog ran into the den to take care of the cubs, but the female wolf didn't go in, and looked around with her only remaining eye, lying on the outside of the house and guarding.

***

In the afternoon, when the whole family came back together, they were ready to have dinner at home.

There was still some leftover mutton bought the day before yesterday, so I made cumin mutton. The mutton was marinated with cooking wine and five-spice powder. After the oil was fried with aniseed peppercorns, I took out the aniseed peppercorns and put green onions. Ginger, garlic and mutton go in and stir fry.After the meat in the pot is almost fried, add cooking wine, soy sauce, sugar and salt to taste, and finally add a handful of cumin, and sprinkle a handful of sesame seeds when it is cooked, and the fried lamb will be very fragrant.

In addition to the cumin mutton, there is also the lotus root with glutinous rice they made this morning, a large plate of fried lotus root slices in sour vinegar, and some leftover dishes from yesterday, which can be eaten after being heated.

"Well, this fried mutton is really good!" As soon as everyone sat down, Zhao Hu picked up a piece of cumin mutton with his chopsticks, couldn't help but nodded and said yes, took a piece for Fu Lang, and told the others Said: "Brother Amu, you should try it too, this fried mutton is delicious."

"Well, it's not bad." Zhao Amu also took a sip, nodded and said yes.
