《Ancient Wife [ DANMEI MTL ]》5: Looking For Rapeseed
Advertisement
After Zhang Qingzhu finished eating a bowl of noodles, he was actually only half full, and felt very unsatisfied.
He went to the kitchen with a clean bowl, ready to see if there was any noodles left. Anyway, he came here to make Liang Han uncomfortable, so naturally he wouldn't feel embarrassed to eat more.
Entering the kitchen, Zhang Qingzhu saw that Liang Han was burning the fire and was mixing the noodles with a scoop, so he asked directly, "Hey, Liang ruffian, do you still have any noodles? I'm not full yet."
Liang Han looked back at Zhang Qingzhu, he said to him, "No, I didn't expect you to come. I don't make much. I'm making salty soup with lumps. I'll be able to eat it in a while."
Seeing that both pots were burning, Zhang Qingzhu knew that he wasn't lying, and put the bowl away.
After putting it on the chopping board, he said to Liang Han with a grand expression. "Send it to me when it's ready."
What else can be done, Liang Han can only agree. "Okay."
"Humph——" Zhang Qingzhu snorted with a sound, he left leisurely.
Liang Han smiled helplessly and shook his head, thinking, "He'll go back when he has tossed enough."
After breakfast, Zhang Qingzhu didn't sleep well last night, and he couldn't help yawning after eating.
Seeing this, Liang Han wanted to persuade him to go home, but he got up and went into the back room, and put down a threatening sentence, "If you dare to come in, I will let my brother beat you."
After that, he closed the door and went into the room to sleep.
Seeing this, Liang Han thought to himself. "It seems that he won't stop unless he tossed for a few days. Whatever he wants, I have to bring some grain to the mill to grind noodles today, and then ask the villagers for some vegetable seeds and some vegetables at home. There are none."
Although out-of-season vegetables are not popular here, even if he grows them, he only dares to eat them secretly, but he can't bear to let him live a winter without fresh vegetables like the villagers.

Liang Han glanced at the closed back door, then got up and went to the room to the west where the grain was kept. Because the old man is moisture-proof, the food at home is kept in the tank.
Less than 400 catties of grain, 50 to 60 catties of soybeans, and a bag of cotton. Looking at the cotton, he thought he needed to make a new quilt.
When you are ready to grind the wheat, you will pick some cottonseeds yourself. After you have planted a crop of wheat, you will plant cotton.
After Liang Han carried the wheat out of the room, he carefully locked the room where the grain was stored.
Thinking that he had to tell Zhang Qingzhu to go out, he entered the main room, patted the closed door, and rushed inside and said, "There's no food at home, so I'm going to grind the noodles. Do you want me to lock the door?"
There were two sleepy hums, knowing that the other party was sleeping in a daze. Although most people in the village do not like to lock the door when they go out, but because there are many people in the family, there are people from time to time. As a modern person, Liang Han thought that he should lock the door for safety.
After locking the gate, Liang Han walked towards the east of the village with the food on his back. His family lived in the west of the village, which was outside the village and farther from the mill.
Occasionally he meet someone on the road, and he don't mean to say hello to Liang Han when he see them. Due to what the original owner had done, it was not easy for him to take the initiative to greet people, lest people be surprised that he was trying to make a bad idea.
Thinking of the original owner, Liang Han couldn't help but look up at the sky, the work of whitewashing is more difficult.
When he came to the entrance of the mill, Liang Han shouted from inside, "Is Uncle Lu at home?"

Uncle Lu's name was Liang Dalu, and he opened a mill in the village. It is said that the mill is actually a family workshop, and the place of work is in his home.
After Liang Han finished shouting, an old woman's voice came out after a while, "He is not at home, what are you looking for?"
Liang Han said through the door. "I'm grinding noodles."
The old woman heard him say that, then said. "Come in."
Liang Han pushed open the door and went in, and saw a woman in her fifties coming out of the room.
Seeing that it was Liang Han, Mrs. Zhang didn't have a smile on his face, unlike other villagers who came over to welcome him warmly.
She said to him without expression: "Come on, go into this room and weigh."
Liang Han didn't care about her attitude, and followed Mrs. Zhang into a longer house on the west wall. Put down the food according to Zhang's instructions and watch the other party weigh it.
After Mrs Zhang weighed the jin liang, she said to Liang Han, "Fifty-three jin, give me five cents of money."
Liang Han gave her the money readily. This money is still the savings of the original owner, a total of 113 pennies, which is really poor.
After receiving the money, Mrs Zhang said to him, "Go back, come and get it in the evening."
Liang Han could see that the other party didn't want to see him, but thinking that he needed vegetable seeds, he asked with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, you Do you have any rapeseeds at home, how about some of them?"
The so-called 'don't slap a smiling face', Zhang Shi did not continue to show his face. She asked curiously,"In such a cold day, what do you want rapeseed for?"
Liang Han said with a smile, "I plan to order a variety of dishes in the coming year, thinking of taking the opportunity to find the rapeseed first."
"You grow vegetables?" No wonder she was so surprised, after all, the original owner didn't bother to grow vegetables.
The original owner used to pluck some from someone's vegetable garden whenever he wanted to eat it. He didn't only pick up in one family, so because there weren't many picks, everyone was not very comfortable, but they didn't care too much about him.
Liang Han naturally knew what the original owner had done before, so he could only laugh and explain embarrassingly, "Well, I will grow vegetables next year, and I want to make some money by selling them."
Seeing the other party thinking about planting vegetables, it was considered a change for the better, so she said, "Let's go, go get the rapeseed with me."
Liang Han hurriedly followed.
The number of rapeseeds given by Mr. Zhang was not large, there were eight kinds in total.
Cucumbers, winter melons, radishes, small greens, gourds, cranberries, green onions, and water spinach are also water spinach. Depending on the situation, Liang Han can only find a few more, and he prefers cabbage seeds.
He shamelessly ran to several houses, and in the surprise of the other party, Liang Han considered enough seeds.
There are not many kinds of vegetables here. In addition to the eight kinds of vegetable seeds that Zhang found, he also found four kinds of vegetables: cabbage, eggplant, cowpea, and celery, plus a kind of vegetable seeds called black and white cabbage.
Of course, there are also garlic and leeks, two kinds of vegetables that he didn't look for, because if you want to grow garlic, you need a lot of seeds.
As for leeks, he will ask someone for some leeks to plant a clump of leeks in the coming year.
There are also people who grow loofah here, but they are all bitter loofah.
They are used for bathing and washing dishes, but they cannot be eaten.
