Little Scholar's Circle of Husbands

Following Yan Yan's suggestion, Lu Fangzhou searched Shengxian County and other counties other than Shengxian County. The prices are indeed very different, and there are also certain differences between different years and heights.

Two feet high, that is, sixty centimeters, 2-3 years old seedlings, Shengxian County has five plants for a penny, Hengxi next door can have seven plants for a penny, and one mu of land can generally plant 45 to 60 plants. Fangzhou asked Yan Yan to help estimate that the five hills facing the sun were all turned into tea gardens, at least fifty acres, and after taking into account the loss per acre, it cost [-] taels to buy tea seedlings from Hengxi, and [-] taels to buy tea seedlings from Shengxian County. It costs [-] taels.

The planting is done by the seller of tea seedlings. The price in Hengxi is 15 taels, and in Shengxian County it is [-] taels. Calculated, Hengxi is [-] taels cheaper than Shengxian.

Twelve taels is enough for an ordinary family to eat for half a year, so Lu Fangzhou decisively chose the one from Hengxi, and there is another one in Hengxi.The people over there don't know much about Lu Fangzhou. Unlike Sheng County, when they heard that Lu Fangzhou was going to build a tea garden, most of them didn't believe it. They asked for full payment before starting work. Hengxi only asked them to pay first. A deposit of 20 taels for tea seedlings, and the rest will be settled after finishing.

On the day when the construction started, Lu Fangzhou deliberately checked the calendar and picked it. On an auspicious day, firecrackers were set off early in the morning, and all the masters were invited into the mountain, and a large amount of fish was prepared in advance.

The meat is ordinary pork, but the fish is different. It is not the stream fish in the stream, but the lake fish that people drive out of the mountain and buy in Shanyin County. Only adult men can hold snail green, grass carp, and fat-headed silver carp. fish.

Planting tea trees is a labor-intensive job, and eating small fish like crucian carp has thin bones and is easy to get stuck, and there is not much meat.

The cooking stove for the masters is set directly on the ground, and the master of the stove is also specially invited. How to do it? Lu Fangzhou discussed with him the day before. The grass carp is fat and braised directly; ; Fat head silver carp, the head is made into fish head tofu, and the body is fried to make crispy fish.

Fish is a kind of food material, and it will emit a particularly wonderful fragrance after passing through the oil pan, not to mention the hard work of the master.The villagers of Xiaotan Village who were watching on the sidelines also swallowed hard, feeling extremely disappointed.

Lu Xiucai opened a mountain to build a tea garden, but he didn't even think of calling them to work. Why did he invite masters from other counties all the way?It made them miss such a delicious fish.

Lu Fangzhou deliberately did not invite the villagers of Xiaotan Village. He is not the Holy Mother, and he forgot how those people beat his family Qiufeng in the first few months?

I just want you to smell it but not eat it!I regret it!

Thinking about landing, Fangzhou picked up a fried fish fillet and stuffed it into Er Niu's hand: "Try it, be careful of it being hot!"

Er Niu nodded and took it, took a bite of the snack and said immediately: "It's delicious."

The method of this crispy fish is a new method of the era that Lu Fangzhou lived in. After the fish is deep-fried in the pan, it is immediately soaked in the prepared juice. The juice is made of soy sauce, chopped green onion, sugar, etc. The juice is immediately integrated into the meat, the meat will not harden, and it tastes very fresh.

Er Niu couldn't help but asked for the second piece, Lu Fangzhou directly took a bowl for Er Niu to eat as a snack, and a group of half-grown boys on the side were envious for a while, Lu Fangzhou also pointed to Lushan and said to Er Niu: "Go eat next to your Uncle Lu Qing."

"Hey." Er Niu agreed, Lu Qing has a strong body, even if the group of half-grown boys wanted to attack Er Niu, they didn't dare to make a move.

As for Lu Qing's share, when Lu Fangzhou was trying to make the juice last night, Lu Qing ate a lot, but today there are too many people, so he stopped eating, so as not to cause gossip.

The place where the masters lived was the original Zhang Facai’s house. In the middle of the village, the villagers might be a little stumbling block. Lu Fangzhou asked Yan Yan, and Yan Yan handed over the matter to Lu Shui, who was a secret camp in Lou’s army. , responsible for going to the enemy camp to interrupt, or assassinate the enemy leader and the like.

When the figure of Lu Shui was not in the darkness, no one could notice that there were indeed a few people in Xiaotan village who deliberately made trouble, and before they approached Zhang Facai's house, they were silently acupointed by Lu Shui and dragged away. .

As a result, rumors of ghosts were secretly spread among the villagers, and everyone was too scared to go out at night, and no one made trouble.

In less than a month, the [-] acres of tea gardens were transplanted one by one, and Lu Fangzhou gave another delicious meal to the masters. The masters were moved by Lu Fangzhou, and they all expressed their concern when the tea gardens needed maintenance. Even if you look for them, the price is easy to say.

Lu Fangzhou thanked him repeatedly.

The masters really did what they said. This winter, there was a lot of snow, and the bamboo was cracked a lot, not to mention the newly planted tea seedlings. Lu Fangzhou was so worried that he could not wait all day long. Stay in the tea garden.

The masters came in unison on the second day of snowfall, and the tea saplings in their hands quickly came back to their senses. They also picked a load of straw and wrapped them around the tea saplings, telling them Lu Fangzhou uses this method, no matter how heavy the snow falls, he doesn't have to worry about it.

It was already the twelfth lunar month at that time, and neither the twelfth lunar month nor the first lunar month in the mountains would allow people to live. It would be bad luck if they had to live, which indicated that they would work harder next year.

Lu Fangzhou was moved by seeing it, and quickly packed up the preserved meat that he was preparing and gave it to the masters one by one. He also added some extra money. The masters accepted it politely, and went back happily with the preserved meat.

On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Fangzhou was grinding tofu in the mill in the village. The mill in the mountain village is shared. There are mainly bellows in it, which dehull the millet; Used for rice cakes; pounding mortar, used for making rice cakes and glutinous rice cakes.

Food like tofu is not often made in the mountains, but it is available in the county town, but it is cheap and delicious. It is sold out early in the morning, and it is even more difficult to grab it during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Fangzhou thought it would be troublesome to go to the county to buy in the cold weather, so he made his own in the village, not limited to tofu, tofu skin, thousand sheets, white tofu, red tofu, fried tofu, plain tofu, pressed board tofu, old I also make some tofu. Now that it's freezing, I can make some frozen tofu.

He had already found a place to set up a hot pot, and when he came back, he brought Er Niu and Yan Yan to eat hot pot, and the hot pot naturally couldn't be without frozen tofu.

For this reason, Lu Fangzhou bought [-] catties of soybeans in one go, and ground two full buckets of soybean milk. The volume of the tofu bucket is not small, about the size of a bath tub for a lady in the official family.

This scene attracted a lot of onlookers from the villagers of Xiaotan Village. Compared with the silent swallowing when the tea garden was opened last time, some people started to say good things: "Master Xiucai, you have worked hard this year, and you have made a mountain. , and it’s the one who opened the tea garden. God has eyes too, and he knows that people who endure hardships and stand hard work are not treated badly.”

Lu Fangzhou heard the praise in his words, thinking that since the opening of the tea garden, this group of people has settled down a lot, and did not go to his tea garden to make trouble. Occasionally, they would help pull out some weeds when they passed by. I will help you a little bit, so I followed his words: "Thank you, thank you."

As soon as the man heard something interesting, he hurriedly continued to boast: "Master Xiucai is modest, look at so many beans to grind tofu, not to mention tofu, even those bean dregs can be eaten until the first month, master is amazing."

"Soy bean dregs?" Lu Fangzhou deliberately made trouble, and glanced at that person. Be good, not only that person, but the people around him stretched their necks when they heard him mention bean dregs.

The bean dregs can still be eaten after being deep-fried. It seems that there are similar famous dishes. However, when Lu Fangzhou was a child, he ate soy milk without draining the bean dregs. He didn’t like the bean dregs very much. He didn't make things difficult, and said straightforwardly, "I don't like to eat this food. If you like it, you can share it equally according to each household. You are not allowed to grab it or mess it up."

"Master Xie Xiucai! Master Xie Xiucai!" The villagers thanked repeatedly. According to Lu Fangzhou's words, they immediately nominated one person to share the bean dregs, and the rest waited patiently.

At this time, an uninvited visitor came to Xiaotan Village, a servant of Master Lu's family in the county town, who looked in surprise at the villagers who were guarding the order and distributing the bean dregs.

Then he gave the post in his hand to Lu Fangzhou: "Young master, the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month is the master's birthday, the master invites the young master and Miss Sun (the second girl) back."

Master Lu invited him back?Lu Fangzhou is strange. After half a year, he has more or less found out the relationship between the previous Lu Fangzhou and the Lu family. After Lu Fangzhou got married, he was sent to Xiaotan Village. Whether it was the birth of the granddaughter or the death of the daughter-in-law, the master of the Lu family didn't care about it, and never let Lu Fangzhou go back during the holidays.

Why did you think of letting him go back this year?

Lu Fangzhou was puzzled.
