Chapter three hundred and ninety second eating corn

Second update, please find the latest chapter of pink.

********

In just one day, even Man'er's family harvested all the crops in the field. Zhang Qingshan originally wanted to help his daughter and son-in-law work for two days, but when the situation changed, his family also had to help harvest crops and pick fruits, so he stayed for only one night. Early the next morning, he took his son, wife and granddaughter back to Shaoguotun.

Lian Shouli then returned to the mountain to work.

Because it was the autumn harvest season, the private school had another busy farming holiday, and Wulang and Xiaoqi did not go to school. Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing first handed over the family's crops and came to help Lian Man'er's house. Lian Shouxin took Wulang and Xiaoqi and went to help two more workers for the Wu family.

Xiaoqi is still young, and Wulang is not old. This helper is just a relationship between the two families, and no one will make the two children tired, especially Xiaoqi, who is well taken care of by Wu Jiaxing.

Wang also called Lian Zhier and Lian Man'er to go to the house to help cook. When he was having a meal, he also called Zhang.

While having dinner at the Wu family, Lian Man'er's family discussed with Wu Yugui and asked him to recommend two reliable short-term workers to help thresh the grain and raise the farm in a few days.

"It should have been like this long ago." Wang strongly agreed with this, "Zhi'er's mother's work at home and in the shop every day is enough. Wulang and Xiaoqi have more free time and are not studying well. There are Zhi'er and Man'er, two delicate and tender daughters who go down to the ground to do the rough work. I feel distressed when I see it. Our family is different now than before, and it is not that we can't afford to invite people. If you want to invite them, you should invite two more, so that Zhi'er's father can also be careless."

"Look at my aunt's excitement," Lian Man'er sat on the kang and smiled, "Auntie, I feel sorry for my sister. We are all together."

Both families laughed and read the full text.

Wang laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth, and grabbed the tenderest flesh on a large piece of fish's belly to Lian Man'er.

"Auntie doesn't feel sorry for anyone, I just feel sorry for you."

…………

In autumn, the climate is dry. Especially the afternoon sun shines on people, which is even more roasted than in summer. After the Lian family harvests the autumn, it happens to be sunny, which is suitable for drying grains.

That evening, Lian Man'er stepped on a stool and picked up a corn cob from the corn grille to check it out. The corn was already a little dry, so it was easy to remove the corn kernels.

Five days later, early in the morning, Lian Man'er's family arrived at the threshing ground. Lian Shouli, Zhao, Lian Ye'er, Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing, both came to help. As for Zhang Qingshan, he came to Zhang. One reason was because he was far away, and the other reason was because he knew that Zhang Qianhu would bring people to help today.

Lian Shouxin carefully cleaned the threshing ground. Wu Yugui and others placed the dustpan, large basket, small stool, and straw mat on the threshing ground. Before they finished preparing, Zhang Qianhu arrived with his men.

This time, Zhang Qianhu came earlier than when he harvested corn, and brought twice as many people.

Lian Man'er knew that Zhang Qianhu, or Shen Liu, meant that he wanted to beat out all the corn kernels on this day.

"Sixth Master led the mansion and the county officials were behind. Let's do it first." Zhang Qianhu took a stance and said.

In Lian Man'er's previous life, there was a machine that specialized in machining corn, but there was no machine here, so it was all up to the hand. In fact, in Lian Man'er's previous life, the mechanization was not long. In her grandfather's generation, machining corn kernels was also up to manual to pull the corn kernels down.

I know that there are many people working today. In addition to their own large baskets and dustpans, Lian Man'er's family borrowed some from the village, with a total of ten large baskets. Lian Man'er distributed all the people, and four to five people sat down around a basket. The stools and cushions were not enough, so Zhang Qianhu and others didn't care about it, so they just sat on the ground.

Then he sent out his men and used a dustpan to transport the corn cob from the corn grille to the basket, and the big guy started to pick up the corn.

The first corn is completely done by hand, and the second one has a simple method. Using the corn core that removes corn kernels as a helper can make it easier to remove corn kernels.

The soldiers brought by Zhang Qianhu were all thick-handed and strong, and worked very quickly. After getting a certain amount of corn kernels, someone used a dustpan to collect the corn kernels from the dustpan, and pushed them hard against the wind to push the corn kernels. This was equivalent to raising the field, which was to use the power of the wind to remove the impurities inside, mainly the slag and corn beard that fell from the corn core.

In this way, the remaining clean corn was put into sacks by the people brought by Zhang Qianhu.

Lian Man'er's family also prepared sacks, but Zhang Qianhu was useless. This time he brought a lot of sacks, each of which was the same size, and there was also a military man's note on it. It was obvious that it was a standard bag for military rations.

The sack full of corn was placed in one place by Zhang Qianhu and his people.

Lian Man'er saw this in her eyes. She rubbed the red palms because of the corn, and her eyes twitched. She had a premonition that the corn would probably leave her soon. She was still happy and could not stop her.

When it was almost lunch time, Zhang Qianhu took the initiative to ask that they brought their own dry food, and as long as Lian Man'er's family prepared some hot water for them to drink.

Zhang Qianhu and his men left the basket, lined up in the open space next to him, sat down one by one, and then took out dry food from his pocket to prepare for food.

In this situation, Lian Man'er's family had to give up when they wanted to prepare meals and let everyone have a good meal. Moreover, even their own family members were not too delicious and had to work in a hurry.

Zhang Qianhu said that it would be enough to use hot water to dry food, but Lian Man'er's family would not really only prepare hot water. Zhang and his men cooked two large pots of thick shredded pickles and broth, and used a bucket of porridge and soup in the morning to Zhang Qianhu.

Zhang Qianhu and others were naturally grateful.

Even Man'er's lunch was frugal, just the steamed buns of Sanhe noodles, the broth, and the dish was just a simple dish of pickles, which was dried tofu rolls and green onions.

After lunch in a hurry, the big guy returned to the threshing farm to work.

Before the beginning, Shen Liu, who had been saying that he was coming, finally arrived late.

It seems wrong to say this. Although Shen Liu appeared much later than Lian Man'er's estimated time, his appearance cannot be described as "late".

The speed of the chariots and horses was only slightly slower than that of Zhang Qianhu's team. And this slower should be to take care of the group of officials following behind him. After all, in Liaodong Prefecture, no one in any family could have faster and better horses and chariots than the former general of the expedition and General Shen Da.

Shen Liu got out of the car, and everyone hurried forward to salute.

"Get up." Shen Liu stood there, looked around, then waved his hand casually and said.

Someone moved tables and chairs and asked Shen Liu to sit down. As for the officials in Liaodong Prefecture and Jinyang County, they could only stand on their own.

Only Lord Li and another middle-aged civil servant, someone moved a stool and asked them to sit down at Shen Liu's lower head.

Lian Man'er stood in the crowd and looked at Shen Liu. Compared to the last time she met, Shen Liu's face seemed to be thinner. It seemed that he was really busy recently, but his energy seemed to be better.

Today, Shen Liu wore a royal blue brocade robe, his black hair was wrapped in a brocade crown, and his waist was covered with a jade belt. Even the man was far away, and he could feel the clear and softness of the pieces of jasper.

"All the corn is here?" Shen Liu asked with a quick glance in the crowd.

"Go back to Master Liu, yes." Even Shouxin and Zhang Qianhu answered one after another.

Shen Liu nodded.

"Okay, keep doing it."

Everyone returned to their original place and then plucked the corn.

A coachman drove Shen Liu's carriage out, and two horses were tied behind the carriage. One was white and there was no trace of miscellaneous hair. The other was blue, slightly shorter than the white horse, but fatter and stronger than all the horses around. One was calculated and one was fatter.

Lian Man'er has an impression of these two horses. The white one should be Shen Liu's mount, while the blue fat horse seems to have been ridden by Chen Xiaopang?

Chen Xiaopang is here too, why didn’t he see him?

Lian Man'er was thinking this way when she saw the curtain of Shen Liu's car move, and a round bun's face popped out from it.

Chen Xiaopang's eyes were slender, but this did not affect his eyes. It can be said that his eyes were even better than ordinary people. Just as he looked through his head, he could see Lian Man'er at a glance.

Chen Qian hurriedly waved to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er held the corn in her hand, raised it slightly, and then put it back. Sure enough, the little fat tail was Shen Liu, he would go wherever he went.

A servant rushed to the carriage, and Chen Qian said a few words to the servant. The servant shook his head first, but later he seemed helpless, but he still carried the fat man out of the car.

Chen Qian got out of the car, left the servant and ran to Shen Liu.

Shen Liu raised his hand and touched Chen Qian's head, waved to the side, and someone moved a stool and carried Chen Qian up and sat down.

Lian Man'er was grinding corn. She thought to herself, what's the point of just looking at these people? Why don't they want to try grinding corn by themselves?

What disappointed Lian Man'er was that no one seemed to want to try it out.

They were brining corn here, and someone had already transported a large scale to weigh it and started weighing the corn.

Lian Man'er thought about it and whispered a few words to Goro beside her. Goro stood up, walked to Shen Liu's side, and whispered a few words.

Shen Liu nodded.

Wulang waved to Wu Jiaxing. The two of them carried a bag of corn with a slightly different taste and could not be kept for seeds. They caught the car, left the threshing farm, and went straight to the mill in the town.

This was discussed by their family. After all, everyone has only eaten the tender corn that has been cooked. Everyone doesn’t know what the taste of this fully mature corn is. While Shen Liu and others have all come, they will grind some cornmeal and make some corn cakes for everyone to taste.

Lian Man'er was eagerly looking forward to Goro coming back soon because she was greedy for the corn pancakes.
