Chapter 412 Wenhua is attracted to Jiajia, can you tell?
Ding and Li's family had no fields, no land, no mountains and forests, and they didn't raise animals. Naturally, they didn't have potatoes, rabbits, etc., but they had money.
Currently in Shanshui Village, Shuiqing's family is the richest, and they are the second richest, far behind the third richest person.
Not to mention the wealth they earned from selling herbal medicines in the past, and the bits and pieces of dividends from selling yams and Polygonum multiflorum later, the two dividends from the herbal medicine shop alone amounted to more than 600 taels of silver!
Moreover, everyone in the village knows that Shui Qing makes money openly, while the Ding family is a model of making a fortune silently.
Ling Ce casually gave the whole village a thank-you gift earlier. The Ding family also has a donkey. They have no land to cultivate and the three members of the family are devoted to medicinal materials, so they entrust it to Feng Dafeng and the others to feed it together and give it to them during busy farming times. , used occasionally when traveling.
When going to Yuhang this time, Ding Heli is the core person who must go, and his own donkey just comes in handy.
Qin Yilin was not worried about having a donkey when traveling. Thinking of the food on the road, she took her money and headed to Shui Qing's house.
A few years ago, gangsters attacked the village at night, injuring dozens of people and using a lot of styptic powder and gauze. She and the boss were not prepared to collect money at first, but later they collected hundreds of taels from Magistrate Wu and his party. Money, the old village chief said that the three of them as a family have already contributed, and they cannot give out any more money for hemostatic powder and gauze, otherwise in the future, if someone in the village hurts his hand or leg, or if an outsider attacks and gets injured again, they will not be able to pay for the medicine. Cashier?
This example cannot be opened!
I have to say that the old village chief did have a far-sighted view than they did, and he was more understanding of the world between people.
Finally collected forty-two taels.
Not too little, but not overcharged either.
Her family has plenty of money. Needless to say, she can handle everything in the village, including food.
After the flood last year, the head of the family teamed up with the villagers to go to Fucheng and borrowed Shuiqing's family's donkey cart to buy several hundred kilograms of grain, enough to feed the family for a year.
It’s okay if we don’t have enough this year. Shui Qing’s family has the most potatoes in the village, so you can buy them from her. Ling Ce has sent more than ten carts of food, and you can also buy them with money. If you don’t raise chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc., you can still spend money. Bought from Shuiqingjia.
But the dry food Heli wanted to go out put her in trouble.
When in doubt, look for clear water.
Shui Qing is leading Li Dani and Zhou Yu to steam potatoes.
The three large pots in the brewing house came in handy again. In the kitchen, Hu's mother and Yan Qiuxing cooked three meals a day without disturbing each other, which was trouble-free and fast.
"Mrs. Ding is here." Wang Qiuyue saw Qin Yilin first and immediately reminded Shui Qing.
When Shui Qing saw Qin Yilin, she smiled and waved: "Come here quickly, I'll make dried potatoes and preserve them the way you make yams. What do you think?"
In fact, I bought this recipe from the mall and learned from it. It said that potatoes should not be dried raw, but dried potatoes must be cooked.
The cooked dried potatoes can not only be eaten directly, but can also be stewed, stir-fried, stewed, etc. They are delicious, easy to eat, and have a unique flavor. The most important thing is that they can be stored for more than two years if stored normally!
You must know that in rainy and humid seasons, it is extremely important to preserve food with little loss, especially potatoes with such a large yield!
Women in every household are making dried potatoes according to her method.
Not only for men who go out, but also to store food for the winter.
The last time Qin Yilin saw Shuiqing Dani and others making bacon, they started making dried potatoes again just a few days ago.
She looked at it curiously for a while.
I saw Wang Qiuyue and Zhou Yu washing the potatoes, peeling them, and cutting them into slices or blocks. They poured baskets of cut potatoes into a large iron pot, cooked them, fished them out, drained them in a dustpan, and put them in a pot. Exposed to the sun in the yard.
It is indeed similar to making dried yam, but the purpose of making dried yam is to sell well. The potatoes are eaten by the family, so it is so troublesome if you don't pay attention to the appearance.
She looked at Shui Qing and asked, "Can't we just cut it and dry it? It has to be boiled anyway."
Shuiqing explained with a smile: "I've prepared it and given it to them as dry food to eat on the road. Didn't I make a lot of bacon before? I cut it into slices and stir-fried it on the road. Then I added this dried potato to stew. It has meat, soup and staple food. If How long does it take to cook the raw ones?"
Speaking of food on the way, Qin Yilin suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit!
Immediately he patted his head and said cheerfully: "Hey, that's what I came here for! I can only make fried noodles, and the ones I make are not sweet. In the past, I only had a short time to go into the mountains to collect herbs, so I only had to deal with them once. This time I want to After being away for a month or two, I couldn’t bear it when others ate delicious food while others ate unpalatable food, so why didn’t I come here to find you?”
In the past, their family of three would just eat unpalatable food at home every day. Anyway, it was a problem to have enough to eat in the village at that time. Even if the food at home was poor, at least the ingredients were good, their hearts were still balanced, and their lives were easy.
After eating the food from Shui Qing's family later, I couldn't eat my own food anymore.
When I went out, Shuiqing had fried noodles and bacon, and I also made dried potatoes, which made me want to die!
The key point is that in the past, you could spend money to buy a few steamed buns and sesame cakes to eat when you went to the city as a gift. If you go to Yuhang, you must take the official road. If you don’t go to the city during meal time, then everyone in the village will take out delicious food. What will happen? I feel aggrieved just thinking about it.
Shui Qing looked up in surprise, "What are you talking about? Can you still make Uncle Ding hungry? Of course I prepared his share!
Don't worry, Uncle Ding will eat whatever Wenhua eats, he won't be hungry.
I told Wenhua, but Jiajia didn't tell you? "
Not to mention that she would definitely prepare Ding Heli's portion, but she didn't prepare it. Wenhua would rather not eat it himself, so she would have to give it to Ding Heli!
If you like someone's daughter, you have to treat the girl's father better.
After arranging Ding Heli's meal out, Qin Yilin felt relaxed, but then she was stunned when she heard the last sentence.
Shuiqing had said to Wenhua, why did she ask Jiajia if she had told her?
She looked at Shuiqing in surprise, only to see the latter walking towards the tea room.
She immediately understood that this was to avoid Dani and her group, and it was also Shuiqing who deliberately revealed the news.
She hurried to catch up, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind along the way.
Shuiqing waited until Qin Yilin entered the tea room, she closed the door, poured a cup of tea, and after the two sat down, she was very cautious and finally chose to ask directly: "Wenhua likes Jiajia, can you see it?"
These days, parents' orders and matchmaker's words are important. According to the rules, she shouldn't ask about Wenhua's affairs, but after discussing with her mother and father, they unanimously decided that she would ask the woman's opinion. If she was interested, they would find a matchmaker to propose. If she didn't like Wenhua, they would pretend that nothing had happened, and the two families would interact as usual.
Qin Yilin opened her mouth, bewildered.
She didn't see it.
Wasn't it that Jiajia liked Wenhua? And Wenhua was very caring towards Jiajia?
She remembered that she had given him a hairpin last year, and he came back with a gift saying that Wenhua had no romantic feelings for Jiajia!
