The scented chestnuts were given to her by Zhao Xialan, because Su Hui gave her some bamboo shoots, so she grabbed a handful of dried chestnuts saved last year and gave them to her.
When Su Hui brought it back, she planned to have a stewed chestnut with minced meat. The aroma of the meat mixed with the aroma of the chestnut. When she took a bite, the glutinous and meat flavor mixed, the aroma was tangy.
Sure enough, after adding meat, all dishes are delicious, and she has eaten chestnuts before. How can they be so fragrant? Zhang Fenghua swallowed, and she put down the bowl in her hand: "Second Aunt, this is the rice field eel that Grandpa caught. I'll send some here, have you cut the meat? This meat is delicious." It's even more fragrant than rice field eel.
"No, I dug out some of the meat sauce I made earlier." Su Hui lied without changing his expression.
Second aunt's meat sauce... She reluctantly glanced at the minced chestnut meat on the dining table. She also ate it when second aunt sent the meat sauce before. Although she only ate it once, she still remembers the taste clearly It was clear that later her mother came to ask the second aunt for sauce, but there was no meat sauce, but soybean paste and peanut butter, although they were delicious, they were not as fragrant as meat.
Su Hui picked out two chopsticks for her: "Try it and see how it tastes."
As for letting her take it there, the total amount is not too much, the food is just right for their family, and there is not enough money to go there.
After eating two chopsticks, Zhang Fenghua showed a satisfied look on his face, happily swallowing the food inside, she was reluctant to swallow it too quickly.
However, Su Hui didn't let her go back empty-handed. He took the bowl containing the rice field eel into the kitchen and put it in his own bowl. After washing it, he filled it with some jam: "This is the jam that Second Aunt made with wild fruits. Take it back and give it to everyone to taste."
This jam is sour and sweet. She and the two young ones like it in their family. The two big ones don't like it. There are three girls over there, so they should like it too.
"Okay, thank you Second Aunt, then I'll go back." After two bites, Zhang Fenghua had some meat, and Zhang Fenghua was about to go back, and there would be meat to eat when he went back!
When Zhang Fenghua went back, he was smelled as soon as he spoke: "What did you eat? It smells so good, what did the second sister-in-law ask you to bring?"
Zhang Gui is the closest and has a good nose.
"Or did you steal it on the way?"
"I didn't steal it. Second aunt made chestnuts and added a little meat sauce, which is very fragrant. This is the jam that second aunt asked me to bring. She said it was made from wild fruits."
Zhang Gui was disappointed, wild fruit, he doesn't like to eat it.
"She still has meat sauce." Zhao Laidi curled her lips and asked her eldest daughter, "What else is on the table? Have you seen it?"
When she asked this, Zhang Gui also pricked up his ears, he also wanted to eat roasted chestnuts with minced meat, what else was on the second sister-in-law's table
Besides this, what else is on Second Aunt's dining table
Except for roasting chestnuts with minced meat, Zhang Fenghua didn't think about the rest at all. She tried her best to recall: "I didn't see it clearly, but it seems that there is a roasted mushroom and a wild vegetable."
Those dishes were not brought out, she smelled them out, Second Aunt's craftsmanship is really good.
Zhao Laidi curled her lips again. Which one doesn't have mushrooms now? There are a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain, all of which are common dishes. If there is nothing new, Zhao Laidi loses interest: "Okay, it's time to eat, come and help."
"Next time someone comes, you should call ahead, otherwise they will be talked about when they see the things on our dining table." Su Hui told them.
When I noticed someone coming, I brought out the source of the aroma, the minced chestnut meat, and put the other dishes in it. If you don’t go into the kitchen, you won’t be able to see carefully.
If Zhang Fenghua saw that their home cooked a vegetable with so much oil, and the whole plate was oily, after returning home, adults would ask, what do children know? She must have answered whatever was asked.
Nowadays, most people cook vegetables like her. When they put a spoonful of oil in, they wipe it with chopsticks or an oilcloth.
Zhang Baoguo was stunned for a moment. Usually, he would pay special attention when someone came to dig well water, but today it was his cousin, so he forgot to remind his mother: "Okay, Mom, it won't happen in the future."
On the dining table, there is a dish of minced meat and chestnuts, a dish of roasted mushrooms, a dish of hot wild vegetables, a dish of stir-fried bamboo shoots, and a bowl of roasted eel over there, and the last dish is goji berry egg drop soup.
Zhang Weiguo ate the rice field eel slowly. The rice field eel had thorns, so he could eat it by himself, but he ate very slowly. The twins needed Su Wei to help pick out the thorns before they could eat.
Su Hui felt that the taste was good after eating it: "I'll go and see if there is any."
…
When Zhang Chengye assigned tasks to everyone in the morning, he told everyone in advance that a village meeting would be held in the afternoon, and the heads of each family would come to the meeting.
The weather was good recently, Xie Rui tried again, and the finished product was more than the first time, and the shape and hardness were improved to a higher level. After seeing it with his own eyes, Zhang Chengye planned to share the joy with everyone.
Su Hui went to class in the morning, but Zhao Xialan didn't hear it. It was Zhao Xialan who came over to tell her at noon.
Later, Zhang Fenghua also came over, and Zhang Gen also knew that his daughter-in-law did not go to work in the morning, so he informed her.
Su Hui guessed what was going on, and she had already done it in the mustard space. Her naked eyes could clearly see the effect of temperature, and then adjusted in time. The more experiments she did, the more she could count.
After she succeeded, she made some and piled them there without moving. After she knew how to do it, she lost interest.
The sun was scorching hot, and everyone gathered in the public cafeteria before, standing together in twos and threes.
Seeing that people were almost here, Zhang Chengye walked up to the stage holding a few tiles: "I have something to tell everyone, let's take a look, what is this?"
"Isn't that just tiles?"
"It's tiles, what's wrong?"
"Yes, these are tiles, but the tiles were fired by the people in our village. What do you think this represents?" As soon as Zhang Chengye said this, the people below were buzzing.
"What, people in our village burned it, who has the ability?"
"Why didn't I hear it before, has anyone returned from being an apprentice?"
"Can we buy tiles from our own village? Can it be cheaper?"
"It's been raining recently, and I've had enough of using wooden basins and buckets to catch water every day."
"If it is, that's the best."
…
Zhang Chengye cleared his throat on it: "The people in our village burned this. Who was it? It was the educated youth Xie Rui who came to the village last year! He asked for leave to study some time ago, and he plans to build a small fire in our village. Kiln, burn paper tiles with our villagers! I have already gone to the town to report to the people above that we can develop a sideline business and improve everyone’s living standards. Make corresponding preparations, and when the weather gets better, we will officially put the burning of tiles on the agenda, what do you think?"
"I agree, but." Some people asked, "How about working when the time comes?"
"What if we have to pay for it?"
This Zhang Chengye has already thought about it: "At that time, adult men will be transferred to work and get 10 work points. People in our village can buy this tile with a certain amount of work points. After the proportion is exceeded, money will be used." Contribute to the enthusiasm of everyone's work.
"If people in other villages want to buy it, they will sell it at a uniform price. When the time comes, the money will be distributed to everyone according to work points!"
The unanimous vote was passed, and the annoying rainy season has not yet passed. It is the time when the problem of water leakage in rainy days is the most annoying. The problem is expected to be solved, and it can also generate income for everyone. If anyone disagrees, they will probably be stared at by everyone. speechless.
Zhang Chengye was named the person in charge, and Xie Rui was his deputy. However, Zhang Chengye was only the head of the job, and he was responsible for all the details. He was only responsible for arranging the manpower.
The first problem that needs to be solved is to make the mold first, select the location of the kiln, and build the kiln when the weather is good.
Zhang Chengye also specially asked people to go to the mountain to collect firewood, and charcoal and coal would be used at that time.
Coal is hard to buy, but charcoal can be solved by themselves.
The continuous rainy season finally came to an end, the scorching sun grilled the earth, and everyone in Li Village was in full swing.
Most people are still working in the fields peacefully, earning income without affecting the farm work. Summer is the time for earing. If people are all transferred to the side of the tiles, who will do the farm work in the field? Woolen cloth? At that time, who will take care of everyone's belly
However, Zhang Chengye would not stop someone from going to see something new after work, and they would not be able to see anything.
The educated youths benefited a lot. Xie Rui brought Chen Donghua and Lin Jingnan together, and the others did not go to work there, but because the idea and craftsmanship belonged to the educated youths, they were highly regarded by the villagers. At a glance, many people usually ignore it, but now they will take the initiative to say hello and give a smile.

The package, which was delayed for a long time by the rainy day, arrived. This time, in addition to seafood, it also added some other things. Su Hui ate diligently, the food sent last time was almost finished, and this time it just happened to be filled.
Guan Shaoli listened to his boss's opinion, there are special products from other places in it, and the reason is also written in the letter, this is a special product from his colleague's hometown, after eating the sauce, he found it delicious, so he specially sent some to thank her, these special products Inside, there are raisins from the frontier, thick skins from the north, and medicinal materials rich in a certain place, all of which are not available in their place. These things are not available in the market at all.
Su Hui accepted it happily.
The things he sent, Su Hui divided into several parts and sent them to Zhang Gen, Zhang Chengye, and her natal family respectively, but the bulk was still hers, enough for their family to eat for a while.
The four brothers wanted her to cook a delicious meal right away when they received the package. Su Wei stuffed a pot of paella, with clear grains and crystal clear rice, served with shredded squid, scallops, and shrimps, and then served with kelp and soybean soup. To eat is to enjoy.
However, Li Manfen was not willing to make such a fuss. When she received it, she took out a large bag of dried mushrooms and gave them to Zhang Baoguo. If there was any exchange, she would make a lot of money by exchanging the mushrooms she picked up on the mountain.
She cooked a pot of soup to satisfy everyone's cravings, and then locked it in the cabinet. She will not move until the Chinese New Year or to entertain guests.
Even if her younger son and grandson pester her to eat, she won't move.

I heard that Su Hui saved a man with a lot of money. After saving him, he got a radio! No heat saw it with his own eyes, but this kind of news always spread quickly. It was said that the man came from the city. It seemed that some leader rescued him and gave Su Hui the most precious radio on his body.
Others don't know if it's true or not, but when they see the radio in Su Hui's house, it's a sure thing!
There really is a radio!
This radio is a bit old, but it doesn't affect its use. What does it matter if it is old
After someone went to see it, the whole village knew about it.
The radio makes a sound. Their home is relatively remote, but because there is a well in the house and there is a small hill behind, children often go to pick wild vegetables and kill pigweed. Su An can arrange formations in the yard of the house, Let the taste hardly spread outside, but the sound can't be hidden once it comes in, and there are 4 children in the family, there is no guarantee that they will not leak their mouths, and the food is easy to explain. If it is conspicuous, it is better to pass the Ming Road.
Zhang Gen didn't believe it when he heard other people's gossip at the beginning, and Li Manfen didn't believe it either, but when Zhang Baoguo went over and said this on purpose, they couldn't sit still anymore, and the whole family came over, Just look fresh.
When they arrived, there were already a lot of people around here, all of them came to see something new. There was a somewhat worn-out radio in the middle of the table, and some rustling and well-spoken words were transmitted through it.
"This iron box is a radio, it's amazing!"
"It speaks for itself."
"This is very expensive. I heard it costs more than 100 yuan."
"I still need coupons, and I may not be able to buy them if I want to buy them."
"Su Hui met a nobleman this time."
"It doesn't matter who is noble. Su Hui saved his life in a trap."
"Whoever is so pitiful, set traps on the side of the road."
"What side of the road, there is almost no one going there, it has long been deserted."
"It's not a coincidence, but fortunately, people are fine."
"Yes, for them, life must be more precious than the radio."
"That's what I said, I'm really envious." Why didn't I encounter such a good thing? Not to mention that the radio can get more meat.
"Isn't it? Maybe there will be others in the future."
"It can't be, it's very expensive to have a radio."
"It's true, but who knows, maybe they will help them enter the city."
"It's impossible, how difficult it is to have a registered permanent residence in the city."
"I didn't say that I have a registered permanent residence in the city. Does it count as entering the city if you invite someone to play in the city..."
Su Hui was a little helpless. In fact, she only said that she was a great help, and then once she wore it, she changed. There was a process, a plot, flesh and blood, and the credibility was extremely high. Su Hui simply gave up, so let's just treat it like this. .
Looking at this radio, Zhang Gen's eyes froze. Zhang Chengye also had one. He had seen it before, and it was like this!
He sat on the stool pushed over by Zhang Baoguo, leaning on the front seat, and listened intently to the news from the radio.
Zhang Weiguo watched from the side, not letting anyone touch it, and pointed to introduce to everyone: "This one can change the channel, this one can adjust the volume of the sound, this one is a switch..."
"Don't talk too loudly, you can't hear me!" The people standing in front were dissatisfied, and the people behind were talking nonsense until they couldn't hear anything on the radio.
After being told, the discussion became quieter.
Zhang Chengye has a radio, but his precious one is not allowed to be touched at all, and they are too embarrassed to go to the captain's house to listen to the radio, so few people have listened to it.
Li Manfen's eyes were fixed on the radio, this is a radio! Listen to what others say, it's worth more than a hundred dollars! It's a bit old, but if you take it out and sell it, you can sell it for a hundred yuan, right
There was some confusion on her face, she really wanted to take this to her room and lock it, but so many people knew the origin of this radio, she did that, as two separated families, she maintained it for so many years Her reputation is going to be ruined, and it will affect the following children to say clearly, for example, her youngest son Zhang Gui, now is the time to talk about kissing, but if he has this radio, his son's conditions for finding a partner can be improved Steps, but Zhang Gen should not agree...
Compared to her entanglements, Zhao Laidi was purely jealous, why couldn't she encounter such a good thing
This is a radio, a radio that not everyone in the city has, so what can she do!
At the beginning, the man in her family was more promising than her own, and relying on that allowance, she dared not speak up. Later, when her man died, she got a house, and now, she even met a nobleman and got a radio! And she is still under the eyes of her parents-in-law, so it is difficult to save some private money!
Zhang Quan and Zhang Gui were watching from the side. They were also very interested, but there were too many people, and they were no older than Zhang Gen and Li Manfen. go in.
A group of people gathered around to watch the excitement, Su Hui looked at it and turned off the radio: "I will play it another day, the batteries of the radio are not cheap."
She took it into the room and locked it in the cabinet.
There is no radio to listen to, and other people don't want to go back, so they just talk at her house. The stools have been divided up long ago, and those who don't have stools stand and chat.
Some people specially teased a few children with candies, wanting to know more details, but when they asked, they didn’t know anything, they really didn’t know, Su Wei didn’t tell them at all, they didn’t know more than they did.
Some people came to congratulate Zhang Gen: "Your daughter-in-law is so lucky, you can come here anytime you want to listen."
"With this, you don't have to worry about your grandson marrying a wife in the future."
"That's right, people in the city may not have it."
"You are elders, you can take it home." This is a bit malicious.
Zhang Gen was listening with a smile at first, but when he heard this, he lowered his face: "That's no good, just come here to listen when you have time, it's for the second daughter-in-law, not for us, if they come back later Take a look, is there still face to face people?"
Li Manfen originally wanted to say something, but when she heard him say this, she closed her mouth tightly. It was difficult for others to congratulate her, and it was difficult to squeeze out a happy smile.
Although she knew her man well and knew that he would not agree, but he really said that, she still couldn't accept it.
It was nothing but a radio!
With this, the youngest son and daughter-in-law in the city can talk about it!
Her distress is naturally seen by caring people. Anyone who is a mother-in-law can actually understand it in her heart. Correspondingly, it is the grievance of being a daughter-in-law. Afterwards, she is happy for Su Hui. They have separated.
There are so many people here, it is inevitable that some people will touch their hands, some children are not supervised by adults at all, it is even more natural to touch and touch, but Su Wei has already expected this situation, and things that should not appear She put it away, locked it, and put it outside, and it doesn't feel bad to be fished in troubled waters.
Although the act of locking was mentioned, Su Hui pretended not to hear it.
Su Hui picked a good time. After dealing with their enthusiasm for two days, not many people came from her place. After all, many of them couldn't understand what was said in the news.
There is a difference between the local language and the national language. It is difficult to persist for a long time without understanding. Another reason is that the first furnace of tiles in their village is about to be out of the kiln, and everyone gathers there , if it really burns, they will have to act first and lay tiles on their own homes. Since they can use their work points to pay for it, they don’t need to pay for it themselves. As long as they work hard, they can get it, big guy The enthusiasm of Zhang Chengye is very high. For a while, Zhang Chengye assigned tasks very smoothly.
Everyone gathered around there, looking forward to it. Xie Rui was also sweating, facing the expectant eyes of so many people. If the situation inside is too bad, although he will be forgiven to a certain extent, critics are inevitable. I don't know if the captain will continue to support him unconditionally...
Chen Donghua and Lin Jingnan were also very nervous, and this was also their hope.
Everyone in the village went to the kiln, Su Hui didn't go, she didn't plan to show her face in front of everyone recently, but she didn't restrain the four children, they went to see if they wanted.
Dawei originally wanted to go out with him, but was stopped by Su Hui. Su Hui took advantage of the time when they were leaving to prepare medicine for him. Then mix it in the food it eats and let it eat together.
She had raised a spirit pet before, and she gave it this medicine before, but at that time, she used spirit plants, and now there are no spirit plants, so she used herbs with similar medicinal properties, and made a low-grade version, and the effect is sure Not so good, but for Dawei, the effect is not small. After long-term persistence, Dawei grows taller than dogs of the same age, with smooth and shiny fur, strong limbs, and a bit more cleverness.
At this time, people are not rich, and there are very few people who keep dogs, not only because they need to eat more, but also because people who keep dogs are often beaten by those who are too hungry to eat dog meat. Dawei has also been targeted before, but it runs fast and nothing has happened so far.
After feeding it, Su Hui gave it a massage to promote absorption, and then started training, holding a wooden plate to train his alertness.
Su Hui didn't stop until it was out of breath, went into the room, and turned on the radio.
Although a lot of the news on the radio is very "positive energy", there will also be some dry news, about important matters in the international and domestic situation, this is the main purpose of her wanting to buy the radio, living in this place, the newspapers are delivered to them The town has been lagging behind for so many days, and it is impossible to get online with the outside world in time. With the radio, there is finally a way to listen.
At the other end, it was about the same as what Su Hui estimated. The grades of this kiln were neither bad nor bad. As the person in charge of the first independent teacher, the grades were already considered acceptable, and nearly one-third of them were usable.
When the tap came out, there was cheers there, and the atmosphere was as enthusiastic as the New Year.
Then Zhang Chengye was surrounded by villagers.
"Captain, I want to buy tiles."
"Me too, my house is too leaky."
"And I!"
Zhang Chengye had to calm everyone down: "Line up, line up, don't worry, there will be one sooner or later!"
All of a sudden, the matter of Su Hui's family quickly became a thing of the past under the comparison of everyone's common interests. Not many people have been staring at him all the time. Everyone is calculating how many tiles they need for their roof. How much, and according to this speed and order, when will their family be able to replace...
Still, those with a stake will keep in mind.
But without waiting for Li Manfen and Zhao Laidi to do something, Su Hui found some footprints around their yard. Looking at the traces, someone stood on tiptoe and looked inside the fence.
who is it? Or... Su Hui raised her eyebrows, could it be that the thief missed her
