Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 174 Baked Pumpkin with Salted Egg Yolk
Mu Tianrun wears a bellyband every morning, and like the children of Zhu's family, he helps drive with a small bamboo pole.

In just a few days, a white bun that was originally white and tender has been dried into a buckwheat bun.

But all the children in rural farms are like this, no one cares about them, they are as black as loaches, and their skin is very solid.

Mu Tianrun played with the children of Zhu's family for a few days, and became familiar with them, but he didn't nest in the yard every day, and just followed Mu Yue and Mu Tianrun as little tails.

Instead, after eating, as soon as the bowl and chopsticks were lost, he went to look for the friends of Zhu's family.

Mu Yue and Mu Tianze were a little worried at first, but after watching Mu Tianrun go out to play for a few days, apart from getting a little tanned, there was nothing wrong with him, and he even spoke a lot more fluently, and could speak long sentences.

Not to mention, he is much more agile now, even Mu Tianze can't catch him in a short time when he runs.

Seeing him happy every day, I simply let him go.

After the wheat was dried and the grains returned to the warehouse, both the Zhu family and the Li family delivered the renters as agreed at the time.

The newly plucked wheat is ground into flour. Although it is not white, it has a slight yellowish color. When making steamed buns and noodles, it has the unique fragrance of wheat.

The freshly steamed steamed buns are steaming hot, soft and fragrant, chew a few more times in the mouth, and still have a slight sweetness. You don’t need to have side dishes, you can eat several of these steamed buns.

The noodles are also chewy and smooth. The tomatoes are already ripe at this time. Cook a bowl of egg noodles with tomatoes and sprinkle a little green onion on top. It is sour and fresh, and it is the most appetizing.

Or make stewed noodles, mixed noodles, and eat them for several days before changing the taste.

Only Shen Jiayan dared to be so extravagant. If it were another family, the population would be too large, and at most, new wheat would be harvested. I would make some for the elderly or children in the family, and let them try something new. For adults, Erhe noodles or black noodles would make do. , It would be great to not be hungry.

After harvesting the wheat, it is time to prepare for transplanting rice seedlings.

As soon as the sky is dawn, the women will go to the seedling fields, pull out the seedlings, and tie them with straw one by one.

At dawn, after breakfast, all men, women and children, all have to go to the fields.

Before transplanting rice seedlings, grids must be made first. A piece of brown hemp thread is wrapped around two sticks that are one foot long and pointed at one end. Insert one stick at one end of the field, spread the thread to the opposite side, and then insert another stick. into a line.Usually every three feet or so, lay another line.

The rice transplanter stands in the grid made of lines, and only needs to insert this grid.

After laying the grid, the man will pick the seedlings tied by the woman to the ridge of the field, and throw the seedlings at a certain distance.

They are all old-fashioned farmers for many years, and they can know at a glance, how far away it is appropriate to throw a handful of seedlings, and how many seedlings should be thrown, depending on the size of a paddy field.

After throwing away the seedling handles, the men, women, and children in the family stand on a grid and start planting rice seedlings.

Such a grid about three feet can be inserted exactly six plants, two plants on the left and right sides, two plants between the two feet, hold the seedling handle in the left hand, and separate the roots of two or three seedlings with the three fingers of the right hand, insert them into the mud, and insert them at the same time. Back off.

Because one person occupies one grid, whoever inserts quickly and well can be seen at a glance.

There are many people in the family and not many fields, and all can be planted in a day or two. In the paddy field with muddy water, it is full of green seedlings horizontally and vertically.

When transplanting seedlings, there are not only leeches in the paddy fields, but also loaches and eels.

Those half-grown boys, who can't plant many rice seedlings, call for friends. When they see eel holes on the edge of the field, they dig eels.

Mu Tianze was fine during this period of time, he was called by Li Goudan to dig eels, after thinking about it, he followed suit.

If you are lucky, if you dig out a few, you can go home to add meals to the family and make a tooth sacrifice.

There are also those who regard the snake hole as the eel hole, and then pull out a water snake.

The children of the farmer's family were not afraid, but they cheered happily. One by one, they rushed to catch the water snake, and went home to cook and eat it.

Mu Tianze's arm isn't completely healed yet, and he doesn't have the skills to catch eels from the ground, but he is smart. After watching it a few times, he folded the small bamboo pole by himself, asked Shen Jiayan for a sewing needle, and after it burned red, Pinch and bend it into a fishhook shape, and then dig a few earthworms on the string.

See eel holes on the field ridge. Generally, there are two eel holes, one near the water surface and one near the shore. Put the fishhook and earthworms near the hole on the water surface.

Then shake the bamboo pole to attract the eel out of the hole.

At the end of the day, Mu Tianze can also catch three or five fish and go home.

Rice field eel is a great supplement, especially there is a dish in the farmhouse, which is stewed cucumber with rice field eel. You need slightly older cucumbers, no seeds, no peeling, and cut into sections.The eel fell unconscious, then peeled and washed, and cut into sections.

Put ginger, garlic and peppercorns until fragrant, then add the eel section and stir fry for a while, add homemade bean paste and stir fry, then pour in water and cook for a while, then add the sliced ​​cucumber section and cook for a while It takes about [-] minutes to come out of the pot, sprinkle with chopped green onion, the fresh fragrance is delicious, the eel meat is tender and smooth, the cucumber absorbs the deliciousness of the eel, and it melts in the mouth.

Incredibly fragrant.

The three brothers and sister Mu Tianze swallowed their saliva as they smelled the smell of the eel.

Fortunately, Shen Jiayan reciprocated, and he didn't eat this eel for nothing. He made egg custard for the three brothers and sisters, a baked pumpkin stick with salted egg yolk, and a stir-fried vegetable miscellaneous mushroom. All the oil was gone.

The three brothers and sisters of the Mu family were so happy that their mouths were full of oil.

It was the child from Zhu's family next door who couldn't stand the smell, so he ran to the gate of Mu's courtyard to look inside, and asked Mu Tianrun what made his food so delicious?

Mu Tianrun's small mouth was full of oil, and he gnawed on the pumpkin strips, showing off: "My mother's salted egg pumpkin is delicious——"

The children of Zhu's family had a good relationship with Mu Tianrun these days, so they coaxed Mu Tianrun to give him a taste.

Mu Tianrun was extremely reluctant to hand over the remaining half of a pumpkin stick in his hand. It didn't grow long at first, and the child of Zhu's family swallowed it and it was gone.

Mu Tianrun was stunned for a while, looking at his empty hand, he burst into tears, and chased after Zhu's child, telling him to spit it out and return it to him.

The children of the Zhu family ran away, how could they vomit back to him?
Mu Tianrun was so wronged that he pursed his mouth and went back to the yard to complain to Mu Tianze: "Brother, at [-] cents next door, he ran away after eating my salted egg pumpkin sticks, go help me get it back, wow -"

Before Mu Tianze could speak, Mu Yue snorted and poked Mu Tianrun's forehead with his finger: "You deserve it, who made you fall in love? Besides, half a pumpkin stick is worth your tears." Is it like this? You don’t even think about it, the fifty cents have been eaten in your stomach, even if he vomits it out and give it back to you, do you dare to take it? Isn’t it disgusting?”

Mu Tianrun's crying stopped abruptly, and after thinking for a while, "Dirty, I don't want it anymore!"

After thinking about it again, he said resentfully, "I'm not going to be with Wumao!"

Still feeling angry after speaking, he stuffed another pumpkin stick into his mouth.
