After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

Erya finally couldn't resist Guangdan'er's lobbying, and said that as long as Comrade Cuihua agreed, she would let Guangdan'er prepare dinner with her in the evening.

After hearing this, Guangdan immediately took action.

He boiled some hot water on the charcoal stove, then went out with the kettle and cup in his hand, looking very proud.

In order to ensure a 100% success on this trip, Guangdaner put two cents in his pocket.

If you can’t impress Ms. Cuihua with your emotions, then you can just give her money.

Of course, in the end, Ms. Cuihua decisively took the money. Talking about feelings? That's impossible!

Those who can talk about money will never talk about feelings!

I used two cents to exchange some soybeans from home, and then put the soybeans in a small cloth bag and went to the tofu lady's house at the village entrance to exchange for a piece of tofu. (Another day of losing money!)

This is how the ingredients for dinner are prepared.

After preparing all these, I got home and found that the fish had already been cut open and cleaned by my aunt.

It’s no wonder that in later generations, little girls would scream in fear when killing fish and chickens, but his younger aunt and second sister were all experts in slaughtering with a wield of a kitchen knife. I don’t know if they were influenced by Ms. Fang Cuihua!

Guangdan stared at the river shrimp for a long time and was a little hesitant for a moment. How should he eat this thing?

There wasn't enough left to fill a whole plate, but I couldn't bear to throw it away, so after much thought, I finally found a perfect solution.

Clean the small river shrimps, then bake them directly on a charcoal stove over low heat, and finally grind them into shrimp powder.

It not only enhances the flavor but also provides calcium, making it a great supplement for little kids!

Thinking of this, Guangdan'er started to take action. He didn't care that his second sister and younger sister-in-law were still beating clothes in the yard. He scooped water and started to peel shrimps.

The river shrimps are so small that they appear even smaller once you remove their heads and clean the shrimp threads.

But Guangdan'er was not disappointed at all, because there were too few seasonings at home. Apart from grandma's precious sauce board, what else was there?

The baking process is not easy. After all, the charcoal fire is very strong and the river shrimps will be burnt if you are not careful.

After drying the shrimps, I put the eggs directly into a small jar and wait to get more and grind them into powder next time.

In fact, at this time, she had already thought of the flavor-enhancing powder that her grandmother had made in her previous life.

At that time, the elderly paid great attention to health preservation and were somewhat resistant to things bought outside, always saying that they contained too many additives.

So I bought some wild shrimps and mushrooms, dried them, ground them into powder, and used them as MSG in cooking.

My grandma has been using this homemade flavoring powder for many years.

After being in a daze for a long time, Guangdan finally pulled himself out of his memory. He could do all these things too!

Although we haven’t found shiitake mushrooms yet, small river shrimps will do!

After the little river shrimps turned into dried shrimps, Guangdaner ran back to the yard.

I saw two large basins full of clothes in the sun, and my younger aunt and second sister were beating them hard with mallets.

The clothes were not soft to begin with, and the linen material became harder after getting soaked with water, so the two girls had to beat them very hard.

Guangdan squatted on the side, stretched his head and asked: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

He really wanted to help because besides his grandparents who were not feeling well, there were only Goudan and a few other kids left at home.

Those who were able to exert themselves went to dig and turn the soil.

As for why Erya and Xiaogu stayed at home?

One reason is that they are both young and not very strong, and the other is that there are not that many hoes at home.

Even Second Aunt and Gouwei used shovels, so there were not enough hoes when it came to spring plowing.

What, you said borrow?

Who should I borrow from?

At this time, almost all the people in the village were in the fields. After a whole winter of silence, they were digging the ground and chatting about family matters. There were no spare farm tools at all.

Guangdan finally followed them to the pond. This pond in the village was actually dug by the ancestors of the Lin family when they moved here.

But in the following drought years, the pond dried up, and the villagers organized people to continue digging, so now the bottom of the pond is filled with various puddles.

As a result, the villagers have difficulty in determining the depth of the pool.

After all, the depth below is extremely different.

It was the time when the afternoon sun was at its strongest, and many people were squatting beside the long rocks by the pond.

Most of them are teenage girls, and there are also some young wives.

Seeing Erya and others coming over, they greeted them warmly. Guangdan shamelessly mingled with a group of young ladies who were washing clothes.

The water in the pond was not as icy as it was in the morning. The sunlight raised the water temperature slightly, but Guangdan still felt that this was not a job for human beings.

But in fact, every household has people washing clothes. Looking at those little hands shaking the clothes in the water, each of them is red and swollen.

In all his time in this world, he has never seen a pair of hands without frostbite.

In fact, there wasn't much for him to do around them, and Erya and Taohua would never let him do the laundry.

Because boys would be laughed at if they washed clothes at home.

Even Erya and Taohua felt that he was a hindrance, but Guangdan insisted on staying here, washing some of Yaya's clothes in the water.

Only in this way will he feel better.

The pond was filled with the sounds of young girls talking and laughing, while Guangdan squatted on a small rock in silence.

He often feels that life here is too hard, but look at these little girls washing clothes, each of them has a smile on their face.

Physical pain seems to be nothing to be afraid of, they have their own happiness.

Guangdan couldn't help but feel that he was being pretentious. It might be that Lin Xiaoxi was used to a good life, and now she felt too disappointed to become Lin Guangdan.

His only role now is to help his second sister and younger sister-in-law carry the clothes back after they finish washing them.

On the way back, I saw that my second sister and my younger sister were in a good mood. Guangdan even asked curiously, "Are your hands cold?"

Erya rolled her eyes: "What do you think?"

"Oh." Guangdaner remained silent, thinking that he should buy two pieces of tofu today. How could one piece be enough? There were so many people at home?

So after returning home, while Erya and her little sister were hanging out clothes, she slipped straight into the cellar and took out two white radishes.

These were the few radishes left in the house, so he decided to stew them in fish soup in the evening!

When the sun sets, Erya starts preparing dinner. She first boils some black goo in a coarse earthenware pot and then simmers it slowly on the charcoal stove.

Next is the main dish for tonight, which is a few small fish the size of a palm.

Guangdan lit the fire under the stove, then washed his hands and quickly took a small spoon and scooped half a spoonful of lard from the oil can.

"You're still digging for oil!!" Erya's eyes widened, she took a breath, and looked at Guangdan with a look of "I want you to die".
