The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1313 [1312] The story of the buried female farming 40 (5000)

Two days later, Wei Ying and Xiangzi returned with a full load. They not only hunted three pheasants and four hares, but also brought back a basket of crabs, river prawns, tomba and river mussels.

"Did you go to the river this time? So many hard goods?"

Xiangzi excitedly pointed at the big bastards in the basket and said.

"Most of the animals are hibernating, so it's not easy to find game, but I didn't expect to find so many good things in the river."

"Hey, the size of this crab is not small, alas, this old turtle is also big, and this river clam, is it dug out of the mud? It's so big!"

"Brother Ying took off his clothes and went into the water holding his breath. I was afraid that he would catch a cold. In the end, you see, he seems to be fine, and his body is very strong!"

Cui Xiang looked at Wei Ying with admiration, and Wei Ying subconsciously looked at Bai He, seeing that she was looking at the fresh fish in the basket with excitement, somewhat disappointed.

Bai He is a quick person, immediately found some pots, and sorted the river fish. Seeing San'er reaching out to catch crabs, she hurriedly told Xiangzi.

"Just take the kid aside and let him play with the river shrimp, but don't let him put it in his mouth. These old turtles and crabs can bite people."

These fish are not completely dead yet, at least the crabs and turtles are still alive, and the mussels spit out some bubbles from time to time, but the prawns don’t jump around very much. They are not as big as sea prawns, but one is as big as a little finger. It can be regarded as hard goods, but this kind of shrimp is more suitable for frying.

Wei Ying waved his hand at Cui Xiang, he knelt down to help Baihe sort out the freshwater fish, put some water in each basin, clean the crabs with a brush, spit sand from the mussels, and the old turtles are still alive and can be raised .

The rabbit was still alive, and it was thrown directly into the rabbit nest. The two pheasants were limp, with their legs tied, and were thrown into the yard without any care.

Anyway, these are still alive, it doesn’t matter if you don’t eat them today, just find a good weather to boil a pot of water to solve them.

"You just came back and didn't you go to rest? You too, what are you doing in the river in such a cold day, are you afraid of freezing?"

Hearing Bai He's concern, Wei Ying's heart warmed up.

"You are a doctor, what am I afraid of, besides, it's okay to catch a cold, but I found a chance for you to take care of me."

Bai He saw that he was still acting like a rascal, and she was a little speechless: "You are so grown up, why are you still acting like a child? After a while, I will pry open these clams, and together with these river prawns, I will bake some river fresh green onion pancakes for you to eat." It just so happened that godfather came over at noon and brought tofu, and then stewed a soup with spicy cabbage and tofu, and you are warm and full, so go to bed quickly and sweat a little."

Bai He hasn't pried clams for a long time, Wei Ying wanted to help, but she quickly refused: "No, I just enjoy this process, it's super healing, oops, you don't understand, anyway, I can do it by myself, if you really feel free , go and clean up those shrimps. Cut off their tentacles, useless arms and legs."

Baihe found a piece of iron that was handy, and went to the big basin to count. There were about a dozen mussels, each weighing half a catty. They were really big. The fishy smell of the river, like this kind of thing, must be marinated well, otherwise it will not taste good.

When the mussel opens its mouth slightly, throw the iron piece into it, and then pry its butt, hard, eh~ it opens!
The milky white meat inside was exposed, and after digging out the internal organs, the meat was directly thrown into the prepared porcelain basin next to it.

One, two, three, within a quarter of an hour, all thirteen mussels were opened, and a small basin full of mussel meat was harvested.

She got up and took the gourd ladle to the water tank to scoop some water. After cleaning the mussel meat, she took it directly to the chopping board and cut it into small cubes with a knife.

After Wei Ying cleaned up the river prawns, she mixed the two kinds of meat, cracked two eggs, poured in some flour to make a paste, then sprinkled some seasonings and put it aside to marinate.

Then I went down to the cellar and got a lot of shallots enclosed inside. These shallots are so green and eye-catching. They were said to be planted, but in fact they were all produced in space. They were buried here while they were fresh, and she came over to increase them every once in a while. Once, so as to ensure the freshness of vegetables.

If it weren't for the fact that there is no plastic sheeting in this era, plastic greenhouses can't be built, and it wouldn't be so troublesome to grow vegetables. I always feel sneaky. I'm afraid these people will ask, but in the end, I think too much, like this common vegetable. Breed, they never thought to ask.

In addition to green onions, I also took out a spicy cabbage from the pickle tank. After putting it up, slice the cabbage part of the spicy cabbage into the casserole, then add tofu and mountain spring water, and start to stew. The remaining cabbage leaves are chopped Add to the batter you just stirred.

Heat the oil in a pan, pour the river fresh batter, and spread a layer of washed shallots on the top. When the bottom is almost cooked and turn over, pour a layer of batter on top of the shallots. When the bottom is browned, turn the shallot pan over until When browned on both sides, transfer to a plate.

After the tofu and cabbage in the casserole were thoroughly blended, the soup turned red and white, which was very beautiful. At this time, she added some washed and dried kelp to stew together, and the taste would be even more delicious.

After the browned scallion pancakes are baked, throw the chopped scallions and coriander into the casserole, turn the spoon up and down twice, and the delicious kimchi tofu soup is ready.

"Okay, it's time to eat."

The scallion pancakes were cut into convenient sizes and placed on a large bamboo plate. The casserole pots were all oversized, enough for their whole family to eat. They were served bowl by bowl and served on the table.

The marinated black bean fish and the spicy jerky are also served as side dishes.

I filled San'er with two small pieces of tofu and rinsed them in plain water to wash away the spicy taste, and the tofu was ready to eat.

The appetite of the three big men is astonishing. Not only did they finish all the baked scallion pancakes, but they also ate up all the steamed wild vegetable buns yesterday, not to mention the tofu soup. After enjoying the experience, tiny beads of sweat appeared on everyone's forehead.

After the meal, Cui Xiang went to tidy up the stove, Wei Ying went to boil hot water to kill the chicken, the rabbit was in good spirits, so he will not kill it for now, the two pheasants are male, they were wounded by arrows while hunting, It's already hiccupped, so I have to kill it quickly.

Before slaughtering chickens, water must be boiled, and the hairs that have been scalded by hot water can be pulled out.

After Bai He coaxed San'er to sleep, she also picked up eight eggs and twelve quail eggs, of course one had to be kept in the nest, otherwise it wouldn't lay.

The two sheep have been milked in the morning, and they will be milked again in the evening to complete today's target.

In the afternoon, Ji Xiaomang and Liu'er drove the donkey cart home with a smile on their faces. Liu'er said happily when he saw her.

"Sister, I sold ten copper coins and three cents. The owner of the shop also said that in the future, as long as we embroider it, she will want it, and I can do as much embroidery as I want. I also brought back a lot of red thread this time. Five copper coins are enough for me to spend the Chinese New Year."

Bai He rubbed her head: "It's very good, don't give it to me, you keep it yourself, did Xiaomang's brother receive it?"

"I got it, I got it, but he asked us to come back first, and he still has to help people deliver things. Maybe he will be home in the evening. He is riding a horse, and he asked Brother Wei Ying."

Wei Ying used to be a soldier, and they are from the same village, so they naturally know each other!

Xiaomang led the donkey to the backyard, fed the donkey with hay, turned around and went up the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back.

"Master, I'll go get some grass and come back."

"Oh no, it's the same if you call again tomorrow, you'd better go home and rest, you're not tired after driving all the way!"

"It's okay, why am I tired, there is an annual gift prepared by my mother for you over there, remember to put it away."

Xiaomang went up the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back. There was no fresh grass in this season, but there was a lot of hay. Donkeys, rabbits, and sheep all needed to eat grass, so their family had to threw every day to make enough grass. Well, she's been lazy for the past few days, and she's been feeding with plant poles from space. Now that they're back, they're picking up the work again.

"The godmother also prepared a New Year's gift for us? What kind of New Year's gift?"

When Bai He curiously opened the cloth on the bamboo basket and four living creatures came out from inside, Bai He was startled.

"This is... a duck and a white goose?" When Bai He looked at Liu Er, Liu Er pursed her lips and smiled.

"Yeah, it's more than two months old. The godmother said that our family has no shortage of meat, so she gave us four hens to lay eggs in spring."

Bai He glanced at the chicken coop that was almost full, and then at the four new members who kept themselves safe. He lowered his head and patted their necks, finally getting them to cry out in dissatisfaction.

"It turns out that you all know how to bark. I thought they were all dumb. That's fine. Now that you have given them, let's keep them. You can throw them into the chicken coop and release them when they are mature."

Flash forward to the eve of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and people in later generations will always eat biscuits and sesame candies.

She made some sesame candies with sucrose, and Cui Xiang and his sister made sesame seed cakes with various fillings in the yard, including spiced, spicy, and dates filled with dried persimmon and bean paste.

I gave some of the prepared sesame candies to my mother-in-law's family, and kept the rest for myself to eat. It was crispy, crispy and sweet, and with sesame seeds as the auxiliary material, it was delicious and sticky to the teeth.

"Sister, I learned another trick from you, but the cost of this thing is too high, so it's not suitable for sale."

Sugar in ancient times was more expensive than salt, and this kind of sesame candy is only suitable for my family. This is because there is sugar cane in the space. If she is asked to buy it, she is not willing to buy it. She also buys wild honey at home in summer. It's time to make a big pot of herbal tea for everyone, and I won't eat it if it's not necessary in winter. Wild honey is too hard to get.

In fact, the mountains are very suitable for raising bees by herself, but she hasn't messed around, and she has to go around to catch the flowering period. It is not easy to earn money, and it is unnecessary.

After the small year is the new year, and on the 24th, the stove is worshiped. When the stove is held, the New Year's picture paper of the king of the stove is pasted, and the incense table is placed on the place of the ancestral tablet at home, and the more precious offerings such as fruits, snacks, dumplings, and sesame candies are placed. They are all eight dishes, and the dim sum after offering incense is the best. As for how good it is, maybe it is blessed by the Kitchen King and the blessings of the ancestors, but Baihe has no ancestors, so the one at home is Cui Mu As for Father Cui, the brothers and sisters symbolically ignored it.

If it weren't for the fact that the mother's surname was not mentioned in ancient times, it is estimated that the two of them would also want to change their surnames. This is why Bai Yusheng took her surname. In Cui Xiang's view, Yusheng was born and raised by her. Without her, there would be no This little guy's future, so he took her surname as a matter of course.

On the day of offering sacrifices to the stove, they had to clean the house. They had a lot of family members. They first cleaned their own house, and then went up the mountain to Wei's house together.

It belongs to Baihe Qingqian, there is no need to do any work, just wait for three children.

The firewood stacks at home are neatly arranged, and the poultry manure in the yard is also cleaned up. The manure from the chicken coop, rabbit coop, sheep pen, and donkey shed is all cleaned up in the backyard. almost.

When cleaning every year, the kitchen is the hardest-hit area. Fortunately, there is her special dish soap and loofah brushes, and it is kept clean on weekdays, basically leaving no stains.

25 steamed dumpling, fermented all kinds of dough at home the night before, and began to adjust the stuffing the next morning, steamed buns, bean buns, steamed buns, steamed buns, there are many people in the family, several stoves will not be idle a day, what Sorghum noodles, millet noodles, sweet potato noodles, buckwheat noodles, sweet potato noodles, white noodles, etc. Baihe also stewed a large pot of glutinous rice and poured it into a stone mortar for Wei Ying to smash rice cakes. These are all necessary foods for the New Year. No.

It's another busy day at 26, steaming yesterday, frying and stewing today.

Fried fruit, sesame candy, meatballs, fish, chicken, rabbit, quail, lotus clip, green pepper meat box, eggplant meat box and so on.

Stewed pork head, pig innards, pig intestines, elbows, trotters, etc.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, stew pork skin jelly, put the food made a few days ago into the cellar, the temperature of the cellar is low, and it can keep fresh to the greatest extent.

During the two days of the 28th and 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the food in their kitchen was basically ready. After finishing their work, Wei Ying and Xiangzi went down the mountain to help others butcher pigs, and bought another twenty or thirty catties of ribs, two Pig trotters, ten catties of large intestine, plus ten catties of pig blood.

These days, Xiaomang's family is really busy. The two sons help the family to make tofu. Who doesn't eat tofu during the Chinese New Year, so their family is super busy. The villagers come to get the tofu. Set the amount, just come and take it when the time comes.

The tofu is always deep-fried when you take it home, so that it can be stored for a longer period of time. Bai He’s family not only fried tofu, but also fermented stinky tofu and rot. Pork bowl.

Pig blood is a good thing. Although it is not as delicate as duck blood, it is indispensable for Chinese New Year stews.

An Xiaoguang didn't go up the mountain until it was too late when he came home, and he came to Wei Ying early in the morning to challenge Wei Ying. The two of them ran to the mountain and sweated profusely, and came to report to her with stinky sweat all over their bodies. .

"I've heard that my mother recognized me as a god-sister. I also heard that you and Wei Ying are already engaged. It's really gratifying. Our family is also thanks to my sister for taking care of me. I won't say more if I am grateful. If you need help, just ask."

Compared with Xiaomang, Xiaoguang is indeed much more mature and stable, and he also has a more vigorous aura, which is an instinct honed in the military camp for many years. Occasionally, she can still find it in Wei Ying. As a hunter, sometimes he is more like a professional soldier with keen five senses.

So some people's momentum, even if they are not born with it, can be exercised the day after tomorrow.

An Xiaoguang's vacation this time is one month. He wanted to see several girls years ago, but he has not met a suitable one so far. The godmother said that he will continue to see each other after the next year. Before he leaves, he must make a decision. Let's make this marriage, or else I don't know how long it will be delayed!

"Decided, what does the godmother mean to get married directly?"

Mrs. An was noncommittal: "Forget it, our wedding here is very simple, just have a meal with relatives, and when the child is full moon, it will be a big deal, that's serious business, and they got married I have already prepared the things, as long as he is willing, and the girl is also willing, then we can exchange Geng Tie directly, and choose a good day and auspicious day to consummate the house before he leaves."

Bai He clucked her tongue after hearing this: "Isn't this too fast? We got married without getting to know each other well, what if the two of you are not suitable?"

After a moment of silence, Mrs. An looked at Bai He: "If it's not suitable, it's a lifetime. Look at me and your uncle, is it suitable? During the years I've lived with him, there hasn't been a single day where we haven't quarreled, and it's been decades. ? Do you think everyone is like Wei Ying, giving you enough time to prepare? Silly girl, get married when the time comes. Well, what do you think your Uncle Wei must be in such a hurry!"

Bai He was a little speechless: "He didn't look for me before I came, and now I'm anxious, that's not my reason, godmother, don't say that, I can't bear it."

Bai He has always been a girl with her own ideas. Of course, she also has abilities. Ordinary people can't catch her eyes, and she can admire them. Naturally, other girls can't compete with her. Wei Ying has various conditions He has always been very good, but it was because of his high vision that he was delayed to this age. Although what Bai He said was correct, in a world where men are superior to women, it is not pleasant to talk like that.

Aunt An also had good intentions, but Baihe's words went in her left ear and out her right ear. She didn't want to get married, but she didn't want to get married. If Wei Ying couldn't wait, he could find someone to marry by himself, and she didn't stop her.

"Look, the more you say it, the more outrageous it is. That's fine, I don't want to interfere too much, as long as you have a steelyard in your heart."

On New Year’s Eve, every household has to post Spring Festival couplets. This year, the Spring Festival couplets of Wei’s, Bai’s and An’s families are all written by Bai He. This is the first time I wrote Spring Festival couplets, I put my heart into it. Although it can't compare with Baihe's, at least the fonts I have practiced are much better than those written by the village chief and patriarch.

Wei Yingjia and the Spring Festival couplets pasted on doors, yards, and trees in their home were practiced by brothers and sisters of the Cui family and Wei Ying. You can post your work on the gate.
