Chen Changsheng chose a clay ground with strong stickiness and poked hard with a wooden stick. The soil began to loosen and the soil quality was suitable.

She dug out a strip of mud and removed the mixed pebbles to ensure purity. Then I went to the river to fish out half a large tank of sand. When I returned to my yard, I started mixing the mud and sand with water.

In order to increase the hardness of the bricks, Chen Changsheng dug out some charcoal ash from the stove and added it to it.

This time she was making experimental bricks, and the shape was not strict. She simply shaped them into a rectangle with her hands and did not make a mold.

Chen Changsheng made a total of six bricks. As long as these bricks are dry, he can proceed to the next step.

I looked at the weather on the wristband. It will be sunny tomorrow and the temperature will be 27-32 degrees. It will be quite cool in the morning and evening, but it will be the hottest at noon.

After finishing all this work, I just arrived at Youshi. It is estimated that the children will go home in a while.

Chen Changsheng decided to eat dumplings tonight. There was some flour left at home. She originally wanted to make white flour dumplings, but after thinking about eating white rice and white noodles every day, it would be bad if Sanshou and Sixi spilled the beans, so she scooped it up again. Mix in two tablespoons of brown flour.

Chen Changsheng was well versed in making noodles. After making up, he held a basin upside down and waited for the noodles to wake up. The next step was to prepare the dumpling fillings.

These days, there are ground vegetables every day at home, and I’m a little tired of eating them, so let’s make shepherd’s purse stuffed with pork.

There is a store selling shepherd's purse in the bracelet. The vegetables are fresh and delivered to your door with free shipping. They are also cheap, with a handful costing only three pennies.

Chen Changsheng bought two handfuls and spent 60 calories, and currently has 1,900 calories left.

Wash the shepherd's purse, blanch it and chop it into pieces, chop a pound of pork into small pieces, mash a few fresh mushrooms left at home, mix them with the pork, add oil, salt, thirteen-spice chili powder and other seasonings, and make dumplings. The stuffing is ready.

Just as I was about to make dumplings, I heard the voices of several children playing at the door, "Mom, we are back!"

Chen Sanshou sniffed and smelled the aroma of the stuffing. He put down his tools and ran straight over like a puppy.

Looking at the dough rolled out by Chen Changsheng and the fillings in the basin, Sanshou couldn't help but exclaimed, "Mom, shall we eat dumplings today?"

Chen Changsheng looked at his son with a smile, "Yes, it's still stuffed with pork. Go and ask your two brothers to wash their hands and come over to wrap them together."

Chen Sanshou rushed out, yelling, "Big brother, second brother, our family is eating dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork tonight. Mom asked us to wash our hands and go over to make them."

It was still daylight, so several members of the Chen family continued to wrap things outside the hospital. A few children did not know how to wrap things, so they followed Chen Changsheng and learned how to wrap them.

"Look at this, how is it wrapped?" Chen Dafu held a dumpling that was swaying in his hand, with a hole in the skin.

Chen Changsheng frowned as he looked at it, "Dafu, your skills are not good. You have wasted the skin and stuffing. Forget it, you should do something else." After saying that, he started to drive away his eldest son.

Chen Dafu scratched his head and smiled innocently, "Such a delicate job is really not suitable for a rough guy like me. I'd better do some rough work like chopping wood and carrying water."

He saw the square bricks stacked on the ground and couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what are these?"

"Those are the bricks my mother tried to make this afternoon. If it succeeds, our village will be able to make some bricks ourselves, and we can start building a reservoir once the canal is dug."

Chen Erlu seemed to be remembering something, "Mom, guess how many channels we dug today? Nine steps! Nine steps in total, which is more than we dug all day yesterday!"

He counted on his fingers, "Including yesterday's digging, our family has dug a total of twenty-five steps, which is the fastest digging in the village."

"Yeah, Grandpa Li Zheng also said that the eldest brother and the second brother don't have to go to the fields tomorrow. He said that he would find someone to dig the remaining five steps for us. I don't know what happened." Chen Sanshou made a dumpling and showed it to Chen Chang Sheng looked and spoke.

Chen Changsheng looked at the dumplings made by the third child. They were pretty good and basically qualified. As for what the third child said about not having to dig ditches anymore, she already knew that in the afternoon.

"How great is this? Then the four of us can go to the city with my mother tomorrow to sell tofu pudding. Should we be divided into two groups? Should I continue to collect money?" Chen Sixi was thinking about selling tofu pudding.

"Tomorrow Sanshou and I will be at the pier. The three of you will go to the market. Dafu and Erlu will be responsible for loading the tofu and washing the dishes, while Sixi will be responsible for collecting the money. I will tell you what to say later. Sixi should also be there today. I learned something." Chen Changsheng assigned the task.

After a while, all the dumplings were wrapped, Chen Dafu also lit a fire, and the water in the pot boiled.

"Let's put down the dumplings!" Chen Changsheng put down all the dumplings at once. She turned around and ordered the boss and the second, "Dafu and Erlu, please move those bricks to the stove."

These bricks will be baked next to the stove tonight, and they will be ready to dry for another day tomorrow.

After the water boiled, Chen Changsheng added water to the pot three more times until all the white and fat dumplings floated to the surface. The dumplings were cooked.

She took out all the dumplings, fifteen for each person, added a little vinegar to each one, and brought them to the table in the main room.

"Fresh, so fresh!" Chen Dafu took a sip and almost lost his eyebrows due to the shepherd's purse. "Mom, where did you pick this vegetable? I'll pick some tomorrow too."

Chen Changsheng would not say that he bought it from the bracelet, "As long as it tastes good, we have to go to the city early tomorrow and don't have time to go to the mountains to pick vegetables."

"If we don't go into the mountains, what will we do with the local vegetables? We don't have much left at home." Chen Sanshou and Chen Sixi said in unison with dumplings stuffed in their mouths.

In the past, the two little ones went to the mountains to pick ground vegetables every day. Now that they suddenly said they would not pick them, could it be that people in the city don't want this vegetable anymore? It's a business that has just started.

Chen Changsheng picked up a dumpling, dipped it in vinegar, put it into his mouth and tasted it leisurely, "Mom has contracted out the work of picking vegetables. From now on, I will leave them to others to wash. I will only be responsible for frying and delivering. When you are older, Okay, I'll leave the delivery to you.

Our business will definitely expand in the future, and just relying on a few of us is not enough. Well, these dumplings are really good. "

contract? Business expansion? The children seem to understand.

But what they know is that the dumplings made by my mother are really delicious.

After eating, Chen Changsheng took out the six candied haws he bought in the afternoon and went out to his old house.

Dinner has been finished in the old house. Mrs. Chen is still weaving rattan baskets. Mrs. Liu is responsible for cleaning the stove. Mrs. Cui urges the children to wash up. The men only have to do some simple work of lighting the fire because they dug ditches during the day.

"Mom, sister-in-law is here." Mrs. Liu, who was still sharp-eyed, spotted Chen Changsheng outside the door first.

"Bring your sister-in-law a bowl of water." Mrs. Chen told Mrs. Liu to go inside and get the braided rattan basket.

She had been knitting non-stop whenever she had free time in the past few days, and her fingers were about to catch fire. It was not until today that she had finished knitting them all. She also trimmed the corners of her fingers to prevent them from injuring the ladies and gentlemen. their hands.

Chen Changsheng put down the bowl and looked carefully at the rattan baskets. Some had buckles, some had handles, and the custom-made triangular doghouse was neatly woven inside and out, and even had a small door.

I have to admit that her mother-in-law's craftsmanship is indeed very good. As long as she explains the process and requirements clearly, she can make it.

If you send these high-end rattan baskets to Liang Mansion, you will definitely be satisfied.
