The second update is to ask for the latest chapter of pink.

The cakes posted by Zhang are round in shape, uniform in size and moderate in thickness. Among the daughters-in-law of the Lian family, when it comes to cooking skills, Zhang is the most capable. There are the ones that are the ones that are the worst. For example, now, Lian Man'er thinks of He when he looks at the cakes posted by Zhang.

When we were not separated, it was He's turn to cook and paste pancakes. The children were looking forward to it because there were jokes every time. The shape of He's pancakes was quite abstract, and they were all kinds of things. In Zhou's words, it was "Zhilingbacha".

Generally, when pasting cakes, you should put a pot ring made of sorghum stalks around the iron pot to prevent the cake from slipping down the wall of the pot. If you have good skills, you don’t need this pot ring at all. If you have poor skills, you will use the pot ring and the cake will still slip into the bottom of the pot.

As a result, the pancakes were not well pasted, and they ruined the taste of the stew at the bottom of the pot.

Zhang put a pot of pancakes in a circle, covered the lid, continued to heat the bottom of the stove, and then boiled another pot, and then no longer needed to cook. Use the remaining heat at the bottom of the pot to warm for another quarter of an hour, and the pot can be cooked with all the soup, including the staple food and vegetables.

…………

On the lunch table, in addition to a basin of kelp stewed tofu, there was also a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks and a plate of melon seeds. Zhang also cooked a few salted duck eggs for several children to eat.

When the hot cornmeal and elm seed cake was served, Lian Man'er couldn't help but take a deep breath. The golden cornmeal and green elm seeds made the cake look very beautiful. The fragrance of cornmeal and the sweet fragrance of elm seeds is simply hot and fragrant, making people's index fingers very excited.

Lian Man'er took a pancake and took a bite. The cornmeal and elm seed cake tasted a little rough, but this did not affect its fragrance.

Zhang kowtowed a few salted duck eggs and put the oily ones in front of several children and Lian Shuixun. She kept the smallest and worst ones herself.

Almost every housewife in a housekeeper is like this. At the dinner table, give the best meals to men and children, and eat only the worst ones or the leftovers from the previous meal.

Even Man'er didn't rush to eat salted duck eggs or pick up food. Instead, she took a small bowl and picked up a large piece of melon seeds from the plate and put them into a small bowl.

The seeds of melon seeds should be read lightly. They are not watermelon seeds or sunflower seeds, but pickled lumps. That is, mustard lumps are put into a large jar and pickled for winter.

At this time, fresh vegetables have not yet come down, and the cabbage, sauerkraut, potatoes, dried vegetables and so on that winter are gone. On the dinner table of the village households, pickled vegetables and melon seeds are usually the protagonist.

The so-called loss does not necessarily mean that there are not enough cabbage. The sauerkraut is left until this time, but the season is here. These things can no longer be stored, and even if there are still, they cannot be eaten. The same is true for the same. Once the spring is in full swing, if there are still cabbages at home, they will usually become moldy and can never be eaten again.

Lian Man'er's house has a cellar, and some cabbage, potatoes, and dried vegetables are preserved. However, they still cooked a jar of pickles and melon seeds according to their customs over the years.

After pickles and melon seeds are ripe, they are placed in the sun and dried. They can usually be used to survive the green and yellow stage until fresh fruits and vegetables come down.

After being cooked, dried pickles and melon seeds are extremely salty and fragrant. Some children from the village households even don’t eat and like to grab these things. Of course, they will inevitably drink a few more bowls of water afterwards.

The ripe melon seeds are completely gone from the astringent taste of the mustard lumps. The fibers are as if they have melted. With a light press, you can make a mud. Sprinkle a little sesame oil on it. The deliciousness is hard to express in words.

Lian Man'er drizzled sesame oil on the melon seeds, a bite of corn cake, and a bite of melon seeds, and ate it with relish.

Even Shouxin likes to eat this. He even dipped green onions into melon seed paste and ate it in big mouthfuls with cakes.

Lianzhier, Goro and Xiaoqi also ate melon seeds.

"You guys are really easy to support." Zhang laughed.

The family's conditions are better and the food is often improved, but both adults and children are not disgusted with the food they used to eating in poverty. No one picks for food, which is simply what Zhang does, and they can eat happily.

Of course, this has something to do with Zhang's good cooking skills and always thinking of ways to make the food delicious.

…………

Since Qingming Festival, it has been raining a few times. Even Man'er's vegetable garden has been planted, and no waste of land at any corner. After entering the Grain Rain, two rainfalls have occurred in Sanshiliyingzi. Every household has started preparing and spring plowing is about to begin.

Zhang Qingshan took Zhang Qingnian to come to Chunfen. The two of them drove two big trucks. One of them was from the Zhang family's own house, while the other was to Lian Man'er's house. They were sending new mules and big trucks to Lian Man'er's house.

Last year, he said he wanted to buy a mule. Zhang Qingshan agreed, but he didn't rush to buy it, but slowly stroking it. According to Zhang Qingshan's words, winter is free, and even Man'er's house has a calves cart, which is usually enough. He hurriedly bought a mule and a cart, which was also placed there, but the forage and labor for care must not be missing.

And now, facing spring plowing, it is really time for the mule and cart to come.

The two big green mules, both three years old and very strong. Zhang Qingshan specially led Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi to see the mule's teeth and hooves, and also told them how to choose a top-notch mule.

"I have been working for a year and I can go to the ground to pull the plow stick immediately." Zhang Qingshan told Lian Shouxin.

In addition to two mules and a large cart, Zhang Qingshan also helped buy another plow stick.

"You have a lot of land now, and you have hired a long-term worker to avoid laziness." Zhang Qingshan said.

Mules, carts, plow sticks, and supporting whips, gangs, etc. are all complete, and a total of twenty-three hangs were spent. This was bought by Zhang Qingshan for many years in the mule and horse market at the price of the industry. If Lian Shouxin and others went to the market to buy them, they would not be able to buy these things at all.

At noon, Zhang Qingshan and his son stayed for dinner. Even Shouxin went to the town specially, invited the old man of the Lu family, and also invited Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing and his son.

When Zhang Qingshan met the old man of the Lu family, one was called the little brother and the other was called the big brother. The two old man came with a bear hug. They were very intimate, which made Lian Man'er giggle outside the door.

"You young people don't understand. We were the first to sell horses, coming and going in the wind and snow, and those who came together were all living together." Zhang Qingshan said generously.

The men were left to talk in the front hall, and Zhang took Lian Zhier and Lian Man'er to the kitchen to cook.

The staple food prepared at noon was white flour pancakes, which were filled with tender spring leeks, and meat fillings were added to the leeks, chopped eggs, and also added shrimp skin and meat pancakes, and finally seasoned with salt and fresh soup. The aroma of pancakes almost drifted a few miles along the wind.

The dishes prepared include mushroom stewed meat, fried eggs with black fungus, fried meat with bean sprouts, fried meat with garlic sprouts, ready-made mutton offals and roast chicken bought in the town. In addition, Lian Man'er also made a large plate of shredded pork with shredded pork with scallion slices and dried tofu.

The wine is a jar of sorghum brought by the old man of the Lu family.

When the food was served, the wine jar was opened. Lian Shouxin took the cup and wanted to pour the wine, but was stopped by Zhang Qingshan.

"This is not happy, I need a big bowl."

When I was drinking at Lian Man'er's house, Zhang Qingshan never asked for a big bowl. Today I met my partner who used to be a horse seller. The two of them were happy to chat and remembered those heroic years. At that time, the horse seller slept in the open air, and when it was cold, he drank a big bowl of sorghum to warm up his body and become bolder.

It is said that their group of people had also crossed the hills where tigers were entrenched.

"... After passing the pine forest, I heard the roar of the tiger. To be honest, at that time, I had to rely on this soju to boost my courage."

Xiaoqi listened beside him with eyes wide open, his big eyes full of envy and yearning.

Needless to say, the meal was quite lively.

A few people drank all the wine jar, and the ones who drank the most were Zhang Qingshan and the old man of the Lu family. The old man of the Lu family had a little wine and was taken home by his son, but Zhang Qingshan became more and more energetic as he drank. According to what he said, it was the amount of alcohol he practiced when he was young.

After dinner, Zhang Qingshan said he wanted to leave.

Lian Shouxin and Zhang were worried that after he had drunk wine, they would keep him and Zhang Qingnian for a night before leaving.

"It's okay, this little wine is wherever you go." Zhang Qingshan waved his hand. When it was time to plow in spring, no one had time to do it. Unlike the slack farm, he could stay for one night. However, Zhang Qingshan still lay on the kang with Zhang, and had a short sleep before leaving.

Lian Man'er paid twenty-three taels of silver and handed it over to Zhang Qingnian.

Zhang Qingnian collected the silver, put it carefully in his purse, and placed it close to his body.

Zhang took a stack of pancakes and wrapped them in cloth, and then took half a basket of salted duck eggs and a bag of corn seeds, so that Zhang Qingnian could take them back to the family to eat.

"Grandpa, uncle, the wild grape vines and fruit saplings." Lian Man'er sent Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingnian out, and did not forget to give instructing him.

"Don't worry, your uncle and I have remembered it for you." Zhang Qingshan said, "When the time comes, I will definitely be selected and sent it to you."

"How many sweet potato seedlings do you want?" Lian Shouxin asked Zhang Qingnian again.

The mountains in Shaoguotun, the open space in the fruit forest, and the planting of sweet potatoes are very suitable.

"Just plant two acres or three acres." Zhang Qingnian said.

"Then I will leave you three acres of seedlings." Lian Shouxin said.

"OK."

Two more mules, a carriage and a plowing stick, Lian Man'er's house started spring plowing the next day.

The first thing to plant is wheat.
