The Prestigious Family’s Young lady and the Farmer

Chapter 44 First Step: Start a Stove

Lin Qingwan came back this time and found that the food at home had deteriorated again. It was worse than before. There was no oil in the food. The rice was also a multi-grain rice, and the portion seemed to be much smaller.

She didn't know it was because Yang Tiezhu was injured this time and didn't get back the money. In order to make up the 50 taels for Yang Xuezhang, Mr. He and Mr. Yang sold a lot of food at home. He's private house was almost emptied, so they stuck with the food at home. It's stuck very hard.

Yang Tiezhu smiled bitterly, expecting He to give him a small stove?That's harder than reaching the sky.

When Lin Qingwan ate by herself, she was thinking about various issues while eating.Finally made up my mind--

"Let's start a small stove ourselves."

Yang Tiezhu glanced at his wife and didn't know what to say.

Lin Qingwan didn't wait for Yang Tiezhu to give any advice. She usually thinks things that she must do.

"It just happens that we have a stove in our cubicle. It should be no problem to bring you a small stove."

Yang Tiezhu thought for a while and thought it was okay.Although he feels that it doesn't matter what he eats, but his wife is worried about his body, he can't object.Moreover, he felt that the food at home was not very good after eating today's lunch, and after thinking about it, he would understand what was going on.

"Let's see what to do. Then I will tell my third brother and let him help you."

The matter of opening a small stove was so decided.

After Lin Qingwan thought it over, she went to the main house and talked to Mr. Yang and the He family.

Lin Qingwan repeated what the old doctor said to Old Yang, saying that Yang Tiezhu was escaping from the dead this time. He was badly injured and had lost too much blood. He had to make up for it, so they wanted to make a small stove for Yang Tiezhu.

After Grandpa Yang listened, he agreed, but did not ask Lin Qingwan if they had any money for such a small stove.He's face was stretched, and he didn't say any objections, only said that there is nothing in the house for them.

Lin Qingwan ignored her and got the consent of Mrs. Yang, so she turned to look for Yang Tiegen.During the whole process, Lin Qingwan's face remained stiff, she was not ready to laugh at the old couple like before, reluctant to come, and did not want to force herself.

She wondered how to turn on the small stove to make it more convenient. She wanted to reorganize the stove in the cubicle, because at that time Yang Tiezhu just wanted to leave a stove to make hot water easier, so there was only one stove in the cubicle. The stove, if you want to cook in it, it's definitely not enough. Anyway, the open space in the cubicle is quite big, so she wants to make it bigger.

Yao Shi listened to her plan, discussed with Yang Tiegen, and decided to renovate Sanfang and Erfang together.She had already planned to use a small cubicle like the second room, and it happened to be a mason together this time.

The mason was still the one that Yang Tiezhu asked last time. Although Yang Tiegen couldn't build the stove by himself, it was still possible to hit the stove, so the stove in the second room was made quickly.

Lin Qingwan thought about it, and laid out the layout of the cubicle again. There was no major change, except that a small wall was built next to the stove to separate the position of the toilet from the position of the stove. A curtain was hung there, and a small wall was built where the bath barrel was placed, and a cloth curtain was hung as a partition.In this way, a convenient place for bathing and bathing is separated.

Then she found a carpenter in the village and made a row of simple shelves next to the wall, where she could put some things for the stove.

The mason remodeled the second room, so he went to remodel the third room.

He saw that Sanfang was also fighting in the house, and his expression was very bad. After calling Yang Tiegen to ask, he realized that Sanfang was a cubicle room for bathing. He couldn't help cursing hypocrisy-squandering money.But the mason had already started work, and He couldn't drive the people back.Knowing that this was brought out by the second child's daughter-in-law, this made the He family even more ugly to Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan didn't care if He had a good face to her, anyway, He didn't have a good face to her before.If in order for He to have a good face to her, she would wrong herself to wrong her man, she would rather not.What's more, she didn't want any good faces from the He family, including Mr. Yang. They are now living their lives by themselves. The reason why they are still wrong here is only forced by the situation.

The stove was set up, but there were not many things on the stove, so Lin Qingwan decided to go to town.

The Yao family went with Lin Qingwan, one was to accompany Lin Qingwan, and the other was to deliver the goods after her work was done.Lin Qingwan's purse was finished, so she took it with her.

The two went to town together, first to Jinxiufang to hand in work, and then took some purses back.Lin Qingwan received 360 renminbi, and Yao received 120 renminbi.

Lin Qingwan looked at the small bag of copper coins in her hand, and felt it was a drop in the bucket.

Although all the money she and Yang Tiezhu had combined was less than 40 taels of silver, Lin Qingwan couldn't help feeling a bit of crisis.Yang Tiezhu still doesn't know when he can fully recover. He can't go out to make money for the time being. The home has changed the stove and ordered a wooden shelf. The things on the stove have not been bought yet. Lin Qingwan estimates that it will cost about 4 or 5 taels together.There is also a small stove for Yang Tiezhu, the ingredients must be bought at his own expense, which is another expense.

With no income at all for at least three months in the future, Lin Qingwan can't help but think of increasing income and reducing expenditure.Throttling can't be done. These are all things that must be done, so we must increase revenue.

Lin Qingwan thought and thought, but Jinxiufang bought some good embroidery thread, a high-quality ruler, and a pair of embroidery frames.The Yao family didn't understand why Lin Qingwan had to spend the money, but the shopkeeper Su of Jinxiufang understood it after thinking about it. He couldn't help but look forward to what kind of embroidery Lin Qingwan could bring her.

After receiving the embroidery work and buying the embroidery thread ruler, Lin Qingwan took Yao to buy the guys to use on the stove.Some things were bought, because most of them were made of iron, so they were more expensive, and they cost more than a couple of silver.

After shopping, the two women couldn't lift them, so they had to put them at the iron shop owner.Lin Qingwan went to the town market again to buy some rice noodles, bowls and chopsticks, as well as condiments, etc., and bought two trotters, two chickens and some vegetables.

Today Yao received 120 yuan and was very excited, and he rarely bought some sweets, pastries and sweets for the two children in the family.

It was already past noon after all this was busy.

Lin Qingwan took Yao's to find a noodle stall and sat down, preparing to have lunch before talking.

The noodles are clear soup noodles, just put a few green leaves, and a small bowl of noodles cost 3 cents.

Yao thought it was not a good deal, so he told Lin Qingwan to buy two steamed buns to eat, so what would he do with the wrong money?

Lin Qingwan didn't listen to her, and forced her to sit down.Said that eating is secondary, the key is to have a rest here.

Indeed, people who eat steamed buns don’t have tables, chairs and benches for you to use. They can only squat in the corner with steamed buns to eat. It’s so ugly that two women squatted on the corner to eat steamed buns... As long as Lin Qingwan thinks about that picture, she definitely gives up. The idea of ​​saving money.

Yao's thought about it, he was really tired after shopping all morning, and he didn't object anymore.

After a while, the boss brought two bowls of noodles.

The two began to eat. Lin Qingwan thought what to say about the noodles, and they were just plain. They put a few leafs and didn't even have a whistle, but the noodles were made with white flour, which was not bad.Yao thinks it is delicious, because the Yang family eats coarse grains all the year round and all the wheat they grow is used in exchange for cash.

After eating the noodles and sitting for a while, Lin Qingwan felt that she was almost rested, so she paid for the noodles and got up with Yao.

I went to the market and bought some things I didn't buy in the morning, and then I rented an ox cart at the special rental car place in the market.

Lin Qingwan bought too many items and they were heavy, and they couldn't move them without renting a car.I talked about the price with the owner of the bullock cart, agreed with the 20-word wallet to put their things in the cart, and then sent them back to Luoxia Village.

I went to the iron shop to get things, and the owner of the bullock cart helped them to get them on the cart. Lin Qingwan and Yao went back to Luxia Village in the bullock cart.

When they arrived at the gate of Yang's house, Yang Tiegen greeted them when they came back and helped Lin Qingwan take things to the second house.When Wang saw that Lin Qingwan had bought so many things, he greeted him.

"Oh, my second sibling, have you bought so many things?"

Lin Qingwan tugged at her without a smile, and said, "No way, I'm going to make a small stove for Tie Zhu, and I will cook every day at home. I can't occupy the stove at home, so let you eat. , It’s more convenient to buy it yourself."

"Oh, so many guys, don't you get a lot of money?"

Lin Qingwan ignored her, but turned around and paid the owner of the bullock cart.At this moment, Yang Tiegen had already moved everything in.

Lin Qingwan and the Yao family walked into the courtyard, and the Wang family walked along with them.

"Oh, my third younger siblings are also rich, so I bought so many things to come back?" Wang looked at Lin Qingwan's ignorance of her, and then aimed at the small burden in Yao's hand.

That was the embroidery work that Yao received back, and some sweets and snacks she bought for her children.

Lin Qingwan rolled her eyes secretly, turned around and took the baggage in Yao's hand, and said to Wang's: "Sister-in-law, this is not something from the third younger siblings, it was taken for me."

Wang cocked her lips angrily, and she knew that Sanfang was poor, and where she was willing to buy something back.

Then I thought about it again, Erfang bought these things, but spent a lot of money.Where does the money come from?And Yang Tiezhu's medicine money didn't seem to ask for money from his family. Where did the second room come from?

Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Second brother and sister, there are so many private rooms in your second room. If you didn't find the medicine money for the second brother, you have bought so many things."

He, who has been standing at the door of the main room and looking at the movement, heard Wang's pot or not, and suddenly shouted: "Wang, you are okay if you are full, can you do it? Come and help me The clothes with your father are washed!"

When Lin Qingwan heard this, she said loudly to Wang's anger: "Sister-in-law, you care about our second room? Would you like to lend us some money? It just so happens that we are short of money and'famine' now."

Wang thought of the large amount of medicine money in the second room and waved his hand quickly, "Where do I have the money."

"Why do you care about us so much without money?"

Wang's eyes rolled, and he fought back: "I think the second room has spent so much money and never asked for it. How much private money should you save?"

"Sister-in-law, you don’t know how hard we were some time ago. The family didn’t use money to treat Tie Zhu’s doctor. That’s a critical moment for burning eyebrows. No way, I had to borrow some from my aunt and became my silver hairpin. , I reluctantly paid Tie Zhu’s medicine money." Lin Qingwan slanted her eyes to the He family who was listening to them at the entrance of the main room, turned and asked her: "Mother, when do you think you can give us some money? Aunt’s account has been paid back? I won’t talk about my own hairpin. Aunt’s money must be paid back!"

He stared at Wang clanly, then glared at Lin Qingwan.

"I don't have money here to pay you back!" After saying that, he turned and hurriedly entered the main room, still staring at Wang and shouted, "Wang, come over to me, come and take your father and mine. The clothes are washed."

When Wang saw He's face, he realized that he was in trouble.Lin Qingwan couldn't help but glared at Lin Qingwan, then turned and ran towards the main room.

Lin Qingwan poked her mouth and went into her room and said to Yao Shi: "Third siblings, put your things here first, and then come and pick them up later at night, lest they see you and find you again."

Yao nodded gratefully, and she was stared at by Wang at that time, but she was so nervous, for fear that Wang knew that she was picking up the job outside and quarreled with her again. Fortunately, the second sister-in-law helped her cover the past.

Yang Tiegen put the things together and went out. He was still busy laying hands on the masons to transform the house.Yao did not see anything wrong, and went back to his room.

Lin Qingwan sat down and poured herself a glass of water first, and drank it in her hand.

Yang Tiezhu on the kang looked at her, looking very pitiful.

"Daughter-in-law, you have been there for so long."

Lin Qingwan held the cup amusedly and sat down by the Kang.

"What's wrong? Miss me?"

Yang Tiezhu nodded hurriedly, his eyes as wet and cute as a newborn puppy.

Lin Qingwan laughed and touched his head.Just when Yang Tiezhu was about to become angry, he kissed him on the cheek.

Suddenly, all negative emotions turned into sweetness.

Yang Tiezhu felt that after he was injured, his heart was particularly fragile. He always wanted his wife to come over to kiss him, soothe him, or coax him, so that he would be able to lie on the kang alone and be happy all day.

Lin Qingwan also knows Yang Tiezhu's psychology. After all, the patient's little mind is fragile, especially when lying on the kang all day long, he can't go anywhere, because he is bored and bored, so he doesn't hesitate to comfort him.

It's just that the strong man who used to be honest and honest suddenly turned into a thick-skinned puppy, really surprised Lin Qingwan, but she was surprised that she squinted her eyes and felt that the distance between their hearts was closer, and She also liked his change.

After comforting Shun Maojia's personal comfort, Yang Tiezhu's fragile little mind was properly settled, and Lin Qingwan was going to be busy too.

She wants to put everything on the stove and clean it with hot water.There is also a big iron pot she bought for cooking, which needs to be'opened'.

In Lin Qingwan's last life, she cooked by herself.So the craftsmanship is generally good, but she has a quirk when she cooks. She never uses non-stick pans and no fume-free pans. That kind of pan cooking is not delicious. She likes to use iron pans.

Because the fried dishes in an iron wok are only fragrant, it is very troublesome to use. At first, I will worry about rusting.But it’s fine after using it for a long time. Just like what others say, iron pans are pot-like. If you use them for a long time and maintain them well, they won’t rust even if you put water in them and throw them there for a whole day. .

Lin Qingwan first put the iron pots, bamboo baskets, clay pots, tableware, kitchen knives, etc. she bought back on the stove, and boiled them in boiling water for a while.Then he went to the well and cleaned it again.After cleaning, put everything in place, and you're ready to "boiling" the wok first.

"Boiling the pot" is actually quite simple. This is what Lin Qingwan learned from the elderly in her last life. It is to use a small piece of fat, refine a little oil in the pot, and then use the fat to wipe the iron pot vigorously. The whole pot must be wiped carefully. , Wipe hardly several times.

Once the pot is opened, throw the big iron pot there, let the oil slowly seep into the iron, and wash it with water when it is used.

She was going to stew the trotters first, so that Yang Tiezhu could drink the trotters soup during dinner.

The pig's knuckles have been chopped up by the pork sellers, and they only need to be washed.After washing, first blanch the water in a crock pot, pour the blanched water, and then put it in clean water to simmer.

There was ginger, spring onion, star anise, cinnamon, boiled on high heat, and Lin Qingwan put a few red dates and wolfberry in it, which she had bought in advance in the hospital.Then pound the fire in the stove twice to make it smaller so that the soup that is slowly simmered over a small fire will be fragrant enough.

After finishing all these tasks, she washed her hands and went to speak with Yang Tiezhu.

Yang Tiezhu asked her to lie in the Kang for a rest, Lin Qing Wan took off her clothes outside and climbed onto the Kang.

The two of them were nestled on the kang, covered with quilts, talking with each other.

After more than an hour, Lin Qingwan put on her clothes again and put the chopped lotus root into the clay pot, and put a handful of firewood into the stove, just ignore it.

In an instant, it was dark.Lin Qingwan got up and put on clothes to see the trotters soup.The pig's feet soup has been simmered, the lotus root is so crispy, and the pig's feet are smashed and scattered.

There was a voice calling for dinner. Lin Qingwan opened the door and went to the stove, brought two bowls of rice, picked up some vegetables, and then returned to her house.

Smelling the scent of stew in Erfang, Wang sniffed, eyes full of salivation.But today it was her who was cooking, so she could only quickly bring the food to the main house.

He had already smelled the scent of Erfang stew, and didn't know what was in it, smelling a strange smell.But no matter how fragrant, He could only smell it, and did not see Erfang bring her a bowl, thinking that He's face was even darker here.

During the meal in the main room, the food was unsuccessful.Adults and children smell the aroma of the yard.In fact, it’s not that exaggerated. After all, Lin Qingwan didn’t put anything. It was just a very ordinary stewed pig’s trotters soup. It was just because He’s stuck with the family’s meals every day, and he didn’t see any meat or fish for a long time. When he smelled the meat, the talents in the family were particularly exciting. .

Lin Qingwan brought the food back, and filled a big soup bowl full of trotter and lotus root soup.Moved Yang Tiezhu inside, put the small kang table on the kang, and set the vegetable rice and pig's trotters soup, the two were ready to eat.

Lin Qingwan wanted to feed Yang Tiezhu, but Yang Tiezhu refused.After all, he only injured his left shoulder, and he couldn't use the left half, but the right was still good.Lin Qingwan had to prop him up, let him sit down, and put two quilts behind him for him to sit on, and then gave him a pair of chopsticks.

Yang Tiezhu's posture was very weird, because his shoulders couldn't force him to bend over, so his movements were very stiff, and he had a strange posture when eating.But in general, it was still edible, Lin Qingwan relaxed.

For the convenience of Yang Tiezhu, Lin Qingwan also took a small bowl and gave him a bowl of soup and put it beside him.

Yang Tiezhu ate a few mouthfuls of food, took another piece of stewed pig's feet, and drank a mouthful of soup, and suddenly felt that his sweat pores were open.

"Daughter-in-law, it's delicious, your craftsmanship is so good."

Lin Qingwan gave him a funny look. When did this honest man become so proficient in sweet talk?

"If it tastes good, drink more to replenish the shape, add more calcium, and your bones will heal faster." As he said, he took another pig's foot and put it in his bowl.

Although Yang Tiezhu didn't know what calcium was, he also knew that it was specially stewed for him by his daughter-in-law and used for bones, so he drank the soup and ate the meat.

Lin Qingwan has been a bit greedy recently, but she has a small appetite. After eating two pieces of pig's feet and a few lotus roots, she was full after drinking a small bowl of soup.

After a meal, Yang Tiezhu felt that he was comfortable inside and out, and couldn't help feeling that his wife's decision to start a small stove was correct.

He is injured and can't hunt for his wife to make a tooth sacrifice. It is okay to spend some money to open a small stove, just in the name of opening a small stove for him, so that his wife can make up for it.Yang Tiezhu was busy watching his daughter-in-law during this period of time, and she lost a lot of weight and felt very distressed.

After eating, Lin Qingwan went to the well to wash the dishes and chopsticks.The main room also finished their supper, and went away, even the main room door was closed.

She went back to the house, put the tableware and chopsticks away, took a big soup bowl and filled a big bowl of pig's trotters soup, covered the lid, put it in a basket, took Yao's baggage, and came to the entrance of Sanfang .

After knocking softly on the door a few times, Yao immediately came to open the door. Seeing that Lin Qingwan had brought her a burden, she wanted to take her in and sit down.

Lin Qingwan made a wave of hands at Yao's family, made a mouth shape, then handed her the baggage and raised the small basket.

Yao Shi quickly waved her hand to signal that she did not want the basket, Lin Qingwan stared, put the basket into Yao Shi's hand, and turned away.

Yao took the baggage and carried the basket into the house.

Yang Tiegen knew that his daughter-in-law had come back to work outside just like the second sister-in-law, and Yao also showed him the copper coins he got today.

Yang Tiegen couldn't help feeling a little sad when he was happy. He understood what his wife meant, and wanted to make some money to buy some delicious supplements for the two children.

Yao picked up the burden and put it away, then brought out the big soup bowl from the basket.There were a few small bowls and a few pairs of chopsticks beside the big soup bowl. Yao couldn't help but red eyes, and he was moved.

She knew that the second sister-in-law was here to give them soup, she didn't want it. Knowing that it was all money bought back, the second sister-in-law forced it to her.But I didn't expect to even prepare the tableware for them, lest they go to the stove to get them, and disturb He.

"Second sister-in-law is really nice, even to two Niuniu, they are so careful." Yao wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.

Yang Tiegen also nodded silently.There are only two couples in this room who really treats their family well.

Yao wiped his tears and smiled, put the things on the kang table, and called the two children over to eat.

Lin Qingwan went back to the room and packed everything. Just as she was about to get the embroidery work and embroider two stitches, she heard someone knock on the door.

Lin Qingwan opened the door, and Wang's standing outside the door.I saw Wang standing there with a smile on his face, rubbing his hands in excitement.
