The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

In Sun Yi's mind, she just thought that her son had learned it after going to the town to study, so she didn't doubt why his son wanted her to make lotus leaf rice.But before this, Sun Yi had never seen anyone wrap rice in lotus leaves like this.

Women dote on their sons, and the sons will do whatever they want.

With such a pampered family, it is fortunate that Li Wen's soul is upright, otherwise, no matter how smart this child is, if he is so pampered by his grandma and mother, he will be spoiled sooner or later.

But fortunately, the current Li Sanbao will not be raised in a wrong way.

The corn should be soaked first, and soaked for an hour or longer before soaking until soft, and then it will be easier to be steamed after a while.Put the dried lotus leaves in water and wash them. After soaking until soft, put the soaked corn into the lotus leaves and bread them. Put them in a pot and steam them for half a stick of incense.

Cut the pork into cubes, put the oil in the pan and stir-fry, then pour in the cut vegetables, add the seasoning and stir-fry, then put the steamed rice into it, stir-fry with it, and then put it again Put the rice into the lotus leaf, wrap it one by one, and then steam it on high heat for half a stick of incense, and the lotus leaf rice is ready.

Everyone in the stove was burning, and soon the aroma of lotus leaf rice was emitted from the steamer, lingering in the kitchen〇

Li Daya, who set the fire in front of the stove, couldn't help swallowing, and the second girl was also staring at the pot.

Li Siya was drooling with her little finger in her mouth, and asked her brother, "Brother, what's in it?" It smelled so good and I wanted to eat it.

"You'll know in a while, how many times have I said, don't eat your fingers, it's dirty!" Li Wen didn't allow Li Siya to eat her fingers. Put it in your hand and hold it.

"What are you doing that smells so fragrant?" Even Li Wang, who smelled the fragrance outside, couldn't help getting up, walked over to the kitchen, and asked.Sun Yi put her wet hands on the hem of her clothes and wiped her hands. Hearing what her mother-in-law said, she said with a smile, "It's the lotus leaf rice that Sanbao came back to talk about. Shall I make it for Sanbao?"

"Lotus leaf rice, what is it?" Mrs. Li Wang has never heard of this thing in most of her life, and she doesn't know where her grandson heard it.

"That's what Sanbao said. Sanbao said he wanted to eat. He wrapped the rice in lotus leaves and put it in a pot to steam. There was also meat and vegetables in it." Sun Yi roughly explained to her mother-in-law that she was busy. It took half a day to do this.That's why she ran to ask her mother-in-law just now to make meat for food, the meat was all wrapped in rice here.

But there is meat in the rice, so I can cook some vegetable soup tonight, and I don’t need to make anything for dinner.

Mrs. Li understood it when she heard it, and suddenly said, "Oh, so you have been busy for a long time today and you have been busy with this, right? I can smell it outside, so I don't know if it tastes good or not."

"I don't really know. It smells pretty good. It should be okay to eat." For some reason, Sun Yi has a kind of blind trust in her son, and she believes that no matter what he says or does He has his reasons for everything, and his son has never worried her, my mother, since he was a child.

Li Wen waited anxiously, wondering if the lotus leaf rice in the pot would be successful, he was very anxious

"It should be ok. Darling, you don't need to set fire in it, let's lift the lid and have a look." Sun Yi made this lotus leaf rice for the first time, and she didn't quite understand it, but the smell should be delicious. Ripe.

The weather was hot, and the big girl was sweating all over while burning the fire in the kitchen. The little girl didn't care too much, and wiped the sweat off her forehead with her hands casually. "Yes, Ma'am, I won't let it go now." Hearing Madam's words, she didn't put any more firewood into the stove.

In summer, hay is burned, and the fire in the stove will gradually go out as soon as the firewood is cut off.

Mrs. Li Wang also did not go out in the kitchen, and everyone was staring at the steamer.

Sun Yi lifted the lid, and there were steamed lotus leaf rice inside. Once the lid was lifted, the taste became even more fragrant

"Aniang, it should be ok. Let's take one out and open it." Li Wen licked his lips when he saw the steamed lotus leaf rice in the pot, his heart was beating a little fast, and he was nervous...

"Okay." Sun Yi saw her son's hot little red face, she told the child to go outside and wait, and had to keep running into the small kitchen, his little face was red from the heat.

Seeing that the lotus leaf rice that they had been busy all day was ready, they cooked a little too much. Sun Yi took one out with chopsticks, put it in a plate, and took it out.

"Aniang, open it and have a look." Li Wen was anxious.

A group of people gathered around a lotus leaf rice, and the eyes of the little girls were full of wanting to eat.

"All right, don't worry, it's hot." Sun Yi used chopsticks to open the lotus leaf outside, revealing the steamed rice inside, the steamed corn was soft and fragrant, mixed with meat and vegetables, and The scent of lotus leaves.

Sun Yi picked up a bit with chopsticks, handed it to her son's mouth, and said, "Open your mouth."

"Ah..." Li Wen opened his mouth subconsciously, took a bite, and then stopped.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Sun Yi looked at her son, she scooped a little up with a spoon for her mother-in-law to taste, and then she put a little bit into her mouth.Li Wen was completely scalded for the rice, so hot that tears came out of his eyes, he swallowed it after swallowing it twice, and said, "Okay, it's delicious, Mommy, it's delicious!"

This is still made with limited materials, but because the pork is original and very fragrant, the taste is not bad.But it would be better if they made lotus leaf rice with more ingredients!Let's have some shrimp, dried salted fish, etc., with a little more oil, fry them together, it will be more fragrant.

"Grandma, grandma, do you think this lotus leaf rice is delicious?" Li Wen asked.

"Well, it's not bad." Li Wang nodded and said.

She also knows what the usual rice tastes like, but the taste of this rice is completely different after making it like this, and it is more than [-]% delicious.

Sun Yi also nodded with her mother-in-law, looked at her son and said, "It's delicious. I didn't expect that the lotus leaf rice that Sanbao asked my mother to make is so delicious. Haha, next time Sanbao wants to eat, just tell my mother, and my mother will make it. It will be done once, and I will get it for you next time."

The woman thought it was because her son wanted to eat it, so she asked her to cook it. If the son likes it, she will cook it for him next time.

"Aniang, it's not what I want to eat." Li Wen shook his head, looked up at his grandma and grandma and asked, "Grandma, and grandma, if you say this thing is sold, someone will buy it." ?"

"Sell?" Sun Yi asked subconsciously, not quite understanding what his son meant.

"Just take this lotus leaf rice and sell it for money. Auntie, I mean, we make this at home and sell it, and let my dad and second uncle go to the town to sell it. Will anyone buy it?" Li Wen looked at his grandma. With a look on his mother's face, he continued, "If someone buys it, we can make lotus leaf rice at home and sell it, and daddy and second uncle don't have to go to the town to do coolies."

"Mother, you can make lotus leaf rice at home, and let my father and second uncle sell it when it's ready. Isn't this better than my father and second uncle going to the wharf to do coolies?"

Li Wen didn't forget that his father used his shoulders to carry goods every day, and the shoulders and back were red and swollen, all because of the heavy and heavy loads.This is also the reason why he absolutely does not want his father to be punished if he can go to school by himself. It is because he is reluctant, really reluctant...

If they could make a better living, it would definitely be better for them to start a small business by themselves than to do hard work. This was Li Wen's goal.

"This..." Sun Yi was startled, she didn't expect that her son asked her to make this lotus leaf rice with the idea of ​​letting her father and second uncle sell it, she only thought that her son wanted to eat it so she made it.Sun Yi knelt down and hugged her son, her eyes twitched, and she hugged her son and said, "Sambo, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect you..."

"You think so."

Li Wangshi's mind is still clear, she remembered the mouthful of rice she ate just now, and she still wants to eat it again.If they make this lotus leaf rice and sell it, will anyone buy it?

Someone will definitely buy it!Li Wang thought.

"When your father and second uncle come back at night, let's discuss it together." Li Wangshi said calmly.

"Grandma, let's wait for daddy to come back and talk to daddy." Li Wen stretched out his little hand to help his grandma wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Tears wiped away.

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Sun Yi responded, "When everyone comes back in the evening, let's discuss it together.

Each person took a small bite of the remaining lotus leaf rice, and it was quickly eaten up.

The little girls also ate a mouthful each, and everyone wanted to eat more after eating, but thinking that there was still in the pot, each of them could still eat one, which was really great.

When Li Dahua came back from wandering outside, she didn't know what happened at home.

During the recent period, Li Wang saw that the second daughter-in-law's eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not a nose. No matter how she looked at her, she was not pleasing to the eye. It was rare to see this daughter-in-law today and did not pick her faults anymore.

For Li Dahua, it would be even better if her mother-in-law didn't bother her any more. As soon as she came back, she hid in the house to be lazy, saying that she was taking care of the child, and took the child to sleep with her.

"Aniang, it's time to get up and eat." Later, it was the big girl who went to wake her up.

The two younger sisters didn't dare to come and wake up A Niang, for fear of being pinched by A Niang. In fact, Li Daya was also afraid that A Niang would pinch her. It was painful, but pinching her was better than pinching her younger sister.

"Damn girl, what are you shouting for? I'm not dead yet. Come and wake me up as soon as I fall asleep." Li Dahua got up from the bed with a grim expression when she woke up after a short sleep. sleeping.

Go to sleep when you are full all day, and eat when you are full. It would be great if you had a baby with a handle!

But Li Dahua didn't beat her daughter when she heard her eldest daughter said that she had something to eat.
