Chapter 034 Let’s establish a contract with the delicious food
It looks so pitiful that I really can’t bear to refuse.
But Qin Xiaomi had a heart of stone and asked: "You said you won't force me, but you won't force me to marry you? Are you serious?"
Jiang Dalang is extremely sincere. Nodding: "Yeah. We've known each other since we were kids. , escaped together again, experienced several lives and deaths, so no matter what, I will not force you."
After hearing this, Qin Xiaomi immediately ran back to the house, and ran out again. Light the torch and write something on the paper with a brush.
After a while, Qin Xiaomi came over with the written paper and looked up at him with a smile on his face: "Brother Dalang, you are so kind to me. There is no proof, so let's establish evidence as proof."< br>
Sheng Ting wanted to pull out his tongue. Why did he say that just now? !
Seeing that he did not agree immediately, Qin Xiaomi threw out a bait: "As long as Brother Dalang signs and presses his fingerprints, I promise that you will not force me to marry you, and you will be included in any business I make in the future. "
Sheng Ting had calmed down and returned to being Jiang Dalang. He showed a helpless smile to her, took the pen in her hand, signed and fingerprinted it, and said again: "Xiaomi , I won't force you, but I will always wait for you."
"Say such silly things." Qin Xiaomi started to fool him: "Brother Dalang, we have to go to higher places. After you make money from business, you can continue to study, and in the future, you will be admitted to the imperial examination and marry a noble daughter of an official family. With the help of your father-in-law, you will surely have a prosperous official career and become a third-rank official. "
Anyone who is not stupid will choose a noble lady from an official family or a country girl.
Jiang Dalang looked upright: "Xiaomi, don't say anything anymore, I will not be the unfaithful person who betrays the engagement!"
Qin Xiaomi: "..."
Are you scolding me?
"Xiaomi, it's cold in the morning. Go back to the house and wait while I pour water and make powder." Jiang Dalang ran to do his work.
Not long after, Qin Xiaomi also came to help. The two worked for half an hour before finally picking up the wet arrowroot powder, putting it into three wooden barrels, and pressing it with stones to squeeze out the water.
Qin Xiaomi: "It can be spread out after pressing for an hour, and after drying, it can be made into various kinds of food."
She told him several kinds of food made from arrowroot powder. Jiang Dalang was a little greedy after hearing this. : "It must be delicious. Xiaomi, I'm going to work in the fields first. When I get back from work, I'll eat the arrowroot delicacies you mentioned."
After giving Qin Xiaomi a few words, he rushed to the fields. Work with Grandpa Qin and others to hoe the land and clear up wasteland.
I was almost dead from exhaustion, and I didn’t get much land.
But he had no choice. He couldn't let Xiaomi discover his identity. Even if he had a way to make money, he didn't dare to use it easily. He could only pretend to be a stupid boy with no ability!
However, he still had to make money secretly, hide the money, and then find a suitable opportunity to take it out later.
......
Qin Xiaomi was not idle either. After draining the water from the wet arrowroot powder, he spread it out to dry.
Qin Mei and the others were shocked when they saw the kudzu powder: "Xiaomi, is this the kudzu powder you made with kudzu wood? It's white, like white flour."
Qin Liupo had just returned from delivering breakfast to the people who opened up the wasteland. When she heard this, she hurried to take a look. When she saw the white arrowroot powder, she exclaimed: "White flour? Fifth sister-in-law, your family is already eating this kind of refined grain." ? ”
Qin Grandma was happy, but she didn’t scold Mrs. Qin Liu. She just smiled and said: “What white noodles? That’s kudzu powder made by Xiaomi.” The firewood was made into white flour.
"What, this is kudzu powder? My one tael of silver!" Qin Liupo felt as if her heart and liver had been taken out. She was in terrible pain, but she refused to admit defeat and continued to fight: "Oh, just some It's just like flour from white flour, I don’t know if I can eat it. If I can’t make food, Xiaomi girl will have to pay me to carry water.”
Qin Xiaomi: “If it’s really edible, you’d better not eat it!” br>
After saying that, he stopped talking to Grandma Qin and ran to help Grandma Qin make straw sandals.
Straw sandals are expensive to open up wasteland, so you have to make more. Otherwise, if the straw sandals are broken and there is no replacement, the soles of the feet will be easily punctured. This was a serious injury that could kill people in ancient times.
Qin Liupo couldn't sit still and didn't make straw sandals. Instead, she took Qin Dashi's daughter-in-law and Qin Dayan's daughter-in-law to the mountains to look for mountain products. After working hard for a long time, I only dug some wild vegetables. As soon as I entered the door, I scolded: "Everyone is scared of hunger. Even if we can't eat them all, we have to dig up a mountain of wild vegetables and take them home. We are almost exhausted." The wild vegetables are eaten!”
Ask Qin Xiaomi again: “It’s getting dark, can you make the arrowroot powder? Just do it. I’m hungry.”
Grandma Qin was also wondering whether the arrowroot powder could be used for eating. She stood up and said, "Xiaomi, let's go. Grandma will accompany you to make arrowroot powder for eating."
"Okay." Qin Xiaomi went to collect the arrowroot powder and gave it to the arrowroot powder first. After weighing it, I took it to the kitchen and made three kinds of arrowroot delicacies in one go.
Kudzu powder and shepherd's purse cake... Dissolve the dried arrowroot starch with water, pour in a large amount of chopped shepherd's purse, and then sprinkle a handful of chopped wild boar oil residue. After making a watery paste, put it in the pot and cook for a while. In no time, a piece of arrowroot powder, oil residue and shepherd's purse cake was out of the pan.
“It’s done, it’s really done, God bless me, my Xiaomi is indeed a blessed girl!” Grandma Qin couldn’t be happier.
Qin Liupo raised her chin and said, "It looks like a pancake. I don't know if it may be inedible... I'll take a risk and help you guys try it first."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab it, and bang, he was hit back by Qin Xiaomi with a wooden shovel.
"Try this kind of heavy work, so you won't bother Liu Po." Qin Xiaomi looked at Qin Liu Po, tore a piece of arrowroot powder cake, and ate it with relish: "It's fragrant and glutinous, delicious, better than meat. "
Gudong, Qin Liu Po was so greedy that she swallowed her saliva and said hurriedly: "Little girl Xiaomi, Liu Po is wrong... Liu Po will go to work now. When the next pot of arrowroot cakes comes out, you can let Liu Po have a taste." br>
Able to bend and stretch, and don’t care about face at all.
Qin Xiaomi continued to bake arrowroot powder cakes. He was busy for more than a quarter of an hour and baked thirty pieces of arrowroot powder and shepherd's purse cakes with oil residue.
Qin Liupo was shocked: "Oh my God, I've eaten this arrowroot powder too much. A spoonful of powder and a bowl of water can bake a big cake." : "If I had known that this thing was a fine grain, even if it was killed by a wild boar, I would have dug up all the kudzu wood on the mountain and stream slopes!"
Qin Xiaomi said: "Six Didn’t grandma say that no one eats these kudzu sticks? Maybe they are still there. Let’s go take a look tomorrow. If they are still there, dig them out and continue making kudzu powder.”
Qin Liupo: “Oh, Xiaomi girl is still smart. . I listened to Xiaomi and went to the mountains early tomorrow morning to dig kudzu wood.”
Everyone was very happy because the kudzu powder was really made.
Especially the little ones like Qin Maimai squatted under the kitchen eaves, inhaling the fragrance, and said: "We are not greedy, we can bear it, and we will eat the fragrant arrowroot powder cake after dinner is served."
Qin Xiaomi laughed to death and felt very distressed. She gave them a piece of arrowroot cake: "You share it... We still have a lot of arrowroot, which can be eaten for several days. Don't worry about running out of food."
He also called to Qin Xiaogu, Jiang Erlang, Qin Dashi and Qin Dayan’s sons: “You guys come over to eat too.”
They were all nine or ten years old. They understood the rules and hurriedly waved their hands. : "No, let's wait for the adults to come back before eating."
"Okay." Qin Xiaomi turned and went into the kitchen and made another arrowroot crystal cake and arrowroot red bean cake.
"It smells so good. What delicious food did you make?" Grandpa Qin and the others asked in surprise as soon as they entered the door.
Qin Maimai and the others rushed to answer: "It's arrowroot starch. Sister Xiaomi has made a lot of pancakes and pastries with arrowroot starch. They are delicious... Grandpa, come and see us."
Qin Maimai He pulled Grandpa Qin into the main room, pointed to the dining table made of door leaves, and said, "Look, grandpa, there are so many delicious foods."
Grandpa Qin was stunned.
Qin Dashi and the others were also shocked: "Is this really food made by Ge Chai?"
"Exactly." His daughter-in-law, Mrs. He, smiled and said, "Girl Xiaomi is so capable. She turned the Ge Chai that even pigs wouldn't eat into something as good as white flour."
At first, her family chose to follow Qin Wu Uncle Yizong, you really made the right choice.
