A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Thanks to Chen Dafu and Chen Erlu's diligent watering in the past few days, the originally dry paddy fields have been moisturized, and the seedlings in the ground have all begun to turn green.

Looking at the situation of his own land, Chen Changsheng doesn't have to worry about water shortage for the time being, but after a while, it will be the irrigation and drainage period, and water will always be needed.

She stepped into the field, bent down and looked carefully. There were a few insects lying on some young seedlings, and several small holes were chewed out of the leaves. She walked a few steps deeper into the ground and found that there were still insects. young.

The insecticide plan must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, especially during the period when the seedlings turn green, and attention must be paid to the bites of leaf miners.

Chen Changsheng planned to buy a book on rice cultivation to study, and also bought some pesticides to kill insects. Although there are chickens at home, they are all chickens and cannot eat a few worms.

Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng decided to go to the city tomorrow to buy some adult chickens and ducks. Firstly, they can eat insects, and secondly, they can lay eggs. The eggs can be used to nourish several children.

After this paddy field is the mountain they often go to. Chen Dafu carries water at this mountain pass every day. Chen Changsheng squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and an idea appeared in his mind.

"Look, isn't that the eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family? She doesn't know what she does every day. She leaves the family fields to her children. I really envy the eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family. It's good to have more children."

Aunt Zhang, who was working in the fields, straightened up and saw Chen Changsheng standing on the road. She originally wanted to scold Chen Changsheng for being lazy and not working.

Before Chen Changsheng could speak, he heard Mrs. Chen's voice coming from the field of the Chen family's old house, "I say Zhang Juhua, your control is too lenient. You plant your family's land, but you still manage it." Someone else's family is coming. If you don't want to work in the fields, why not go home and have more sons with your man, and if you have more sons, they will work for you."

Mrs. Chen kept blaring her words, leaving Zhang Juhua speechless.

Zhang Juhua was so angry that her orifices were filled with smoke and her face turned red. This old lady Chen is really brave and dares to say anything. She goes home to give birth to her children in the clear sky and is not ashamed.

It's not that she doesn't want to give birth, but her stomach has to live up to her expectations.

In the more than ten years since Zhang Juhua married to Chenjiacun, for some reason, she couldn't give birth to a son, but the girl gave birth to two.

Although her man is not a patriarchal person, he is also very kind to the two girls. But Zhang Juhua is not convinced. She wants to have a son, not only for her man, but also for several of her old relatives in Zhangjiacun.

When the old sisters-in-law and old men working in other fields heard this, they all whispered and laughed at Aunt Zhang.

Chen Changsheng knew that this old lady Chen was speaking for him, so he pursed his lips slightly to express his gratitude. Looking up, he saw that the sky was getting gloomier. Chen Changsheng reminded Mrs. Chen and her family to go home early. If it was late, it might rain.

The Chen family didn't bring raincoats and rain gear with them when they went out. If they got caught in the rain, they would inevitably get headaches and fever, and they would have to spend money to see a doctor. They felt that what the eldest daughter-in-law said seemed reasonable, so they went back on the main road.

Aunt Zhang couldn't help but murmured behind her, "The Chen family is really a lazy family. At what time are you rushing home and not doing any work in the fields? Let's see how much food you can receive this year."

While he was talking, the rain started to fall, and the drops fell on Aunt Zhang's head. Aunt Zhang's face was covered with rain, her eyes were squinted, and she was cursing in her heart that the rain was falling so quickly.

Chen Changsheng had just run home, and his second son Chen Erlu had just arrived in the courtyard. Several children cooperated and stacked firewood against the wall to protect them from the rain. After driving all the chickens into the chicken coop, they all ran back to the house.

It was raining heavily outside, and there was not much work to be done. The mother and son stayed in the main room.

Chen Erlu put down his backpack and gave his mother the spices and two kilograms of soybeans to keep. He also took out several packets of winter melon candies, one for each person.

"It's winter melon candies. Second brother also brought us winter melon candies." Si Xi ate a small piece and happily distributed candies to everyone. Even Chen Changsheng had a pack.

"The second son has become sensible. He thinks about his family when he goes out and brings gifts for everyone." Chen Changsheng praised his second son.

Chen Erlu scratched the back of his head and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't earn the money himself. It was money given by his mother. After all, it was a gift that his mother bought for everyone.

He secretly vowed that he would make money early and use his own money to buy gifts for his family.

Then, he handed Chen Changsheng the food money he collected today from his pocket, and reported how much he spent on shopping today. He explained everything, except that he didn't mention the encounter with the gangster in the gambling house. The main thing was I'm afraid that my mother will be worried.

Chen Changsheng was very relieved about her children. She accepted the money, put away all the supplies, and brought out the tofu noodles that had been frozen in a bucket at noon, one bowl for each person.

A few people were drinking tofu nao in the main room while listening to the sound of rain outside, which also had a unique flavor.

"Mom, is this the new tofu puff made today? It's even more delicious than last night. If you have a bowl like this in the summer, it will definitely cool you down immediately." Chen Erlu was hot and thirsty after a day's journey. Yes, when I came back indoors from the scorching heat outside, I immediately felt a lot cooler after taking this cold mouthful of tofu.

"I also think that the tofu puffs my mother made last night was delicious to me, but she said it was not delicious. I also wanted to say that my mother is really picky, but I didn't expect that the tofu made by my mother today tastes better and is more tender. It's slippery." Sanshou also chirped.

"I feel like my bowl tastes better and has a sweet taste." Chen Sixi ate the winter melon candy and drank it, feeling sweet in her mouth.

Chen Sanshou glanced sideways, "Sisixi, that's because you had a piece of winter melon candy in your mouth and drank some tofu curd. Mixing them together, it must be sweet."

Sanshou's words reminded Chen Changsheng again. She put down the bowl in her hand, stood up and said sternly to the children, "Mom plans to make this tofu brain to eat in the summer. What Sanshou and Sixi just said reminded me , our tofu brain can also add some ingredients.

Don’t you kids like to eat sweets? Then Mom will make some sweet tofu and sell them to customers like your kids. Some people like to eat salty food, so let’s make some salty tofu puffs. What do you think? "

"Okay, great. We all like to eat sweets, and sweet tofu curd is delicious as soon as we hear it. It's just a waste to use sugar to make tofu curd." As the eldest brother, Chen Dafu's first consideration was The price.

There was no white sugar at this time, and all the condiment shops in the city sold were brown sugar, which cost fifteen cents per pound, which was about to catch up with the price of meat.

The average family only buys one pound of brown sugar a year, just for entertaining guests. When a guest comes to the door, he is given a cup of brown sugar water, which is the best treatment. Ordinary people's homes are filled with ordinary and meaningless hospitality.

Using brown sugar to make tofu puffs is a bit too luxurious, so no one would be willing to buy it.

Chen Changsheng took the children's concerns into consideration, and she thought about it, "Let's test the effect with one pound first. If the effect is good, we will price based on cost. If the effect of adding brown sugar is not good, we will not sell it. What do you think?"

She only said this to reassure the children. Chen Changsheng knew that her salty and sweet tofu puffs would definitely be sold.

"You can also make something spicy. The spicy and refreshing ground vegetables made by my mother are very delicious. Maybe some people like spicy food." Chen Erlu was full of confidence.

Chen Changsheng nodded, approving of his second son's words, "The recipe for this tofu noodle has been basically determined, the only thing left is how to make it cold.

Eat hot in winter and cool in summer. It's May now, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. It would be great if this tofu puff could be iced. "

Chilling is easy to achieve in modern times, just find a freezer to keep it cold. But in ancient times, ice cubes could only be enjoyed by officials in the capital.

Not to mention Chenjia Village, even in the entire Baishui County, you may not be able to find a single store with ice cubes.
