The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 96 The Joy of Harvesting

The [-] acres of broad beans in Dali Village have matured. This is the raw material for making bean paste. Steward Li has organized a manpower to return all the broad beans in his family to the warehouse.

In Sichuan and Chongqing, almost every family can make bean paste, and Cuihua is especially good at it. Their family's bean paste can be used directly as a dipping dish, and you can eat a big bowl.

In the restaurant of Cuihua's family back then, dipped bean curd was a must, and the old diners would panic if they didn't eat it for three days.

Isn't the soul of Sichuan cuisine just bean paste?Those peppers grown by Cuihua are mainly intended to be used to make bean paste.

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu’s first birthday party will come soon, because the peppers will be ripe at this time, the couple thinks that it will be more lively in Dali Village, so they decide to hold the banquet in Dali Village. Have a simple longevity noodles at noon.

Because in the past half a year, many people have sent messages to his family, and they had to invite people back for this child's first birthday party. It was the first time that Uncle Zhongqin's mansion took the initiative to treat guests, but the place was still Yuan Mansion in Dali Village.

General Yan Zhong, the second-rank hussar, also received the invitation. The last time General Yan was in the northern border, the right-hand army led by him became the terminator of the Tatars.

At the welfare conference at the beginning of this year, Xia Hongdi granted him the official position of a second-rank "Hussar General".

He was also transferred back to the capital to train troops in the suburban barracks, and also to defend the capital every day, and he had to go to court every day.

Yan Zhong can be regarded as a person who worked hard at the grassroots level. He has no roots. The daughter-in-law he married is the younger sister of Tongpao. She came to the capital later than Cuihua and the others, and she is also a loner.

Mrs. Yan took the post and asked General Yan: "This is a post from Uncle Zhongqin's residence, catch the Zhou Banquet, shall we go?"

General Yan nodded affirmatively: "Why don't you go? This Uncle Zhongqin doesn't look like he came from a farming family, but how many people who fought with the new emperor have a better life than him? There are quite a few people who take the initiative to send posts to his family , let’s not talk about catching up, and we can’t offend him.”

"Then how should I give this gift?"

The Crown Prince and Princess Jingyao also wanted to go, but this time there were not many people at the banquet, Empress Gao still did not agree with them.

He was so troubled that he couldn't help but coaxed his daughter: "Yaoyao, be obedient, there were too many people that day, brother Ertou and the others couldn't entertain you well, or, after they return to the city, I will let the nanny go Let’s go, please ask Madam Yuan to set up another table for you, okay?”

The crown prince is greedy, but he doesn't like to join in the fun, he is too lazy to listen to those flattery words, so he readily agrees, as long as he can go to Yuan's mansion and have a meal, he will be fine. He has eaten two meals in Yuan's mansion, and every time The meals are different, which is very exciting.

On the first day Niu Changshui and Niu Xier arrived in the capital, they caught up with Xiaowu and Xiaoliu's weekly banquet.

Niu Damei looked at her natal nephew and niece, and she was not happy at first, but when she heard that the rest of her family had been killed by refugees, she cried and passed out.

The brothers and sisters who were at a loss looked at their aunt dumbfounded. Fortunately, their cousin Xiao Chuan took the initiative to greet them and served a big table of good food for the brothers and sisters in the yard of Hu Erniu's house.

Looking at these chickens, ducks and fish, Niu Changshui finally believed that his aunt's family really lived a good life and felt at ease.

The bustling scene in the village, after inquiring, it turns out that their Hu family is not the most powerful, but Xiao Chuan's aunt's family is awesome, my God, uncle's house, this is a noble man in the capital, no wonder they send special personnel to find them , But I thought again: Why did I go to them so late?
There are quite a lot of distinguished guests from the capital today, Heiwa entertained the gentlemen in the front yard, Cuihua and a few nuns entertained the ladies in the back yard.

Mrs. Gao has the highest status, and she came to the Yuan Mansion in person. Cuihua was frightened. Isn't this too much face?

The old lady said cheerfully: "I'm tired of staying in the city. I heard that your family is holding a banquet in the village this time, and you came here to join in the fun. You can lead me around."

"Thanks to you, old lady, you don't dislike our village. After lunch, I'll take you to have a good look." Leading old lady Gao and several high-ranking ladies into the waiting room of the main courtyard.

Mrs. Yan was also among them. She greeted Cuihua and watched her deal with these women. Well, she is a generous person, and she is not fake in words and deeds, which suits her taste.

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu came out to meet guests in bright red clothes and trousers, which were made by their mother-in-law, and their mother changed them into them early in the morning, like two moving red envelopes.

Xiao Wu wrinkled his face and pulled the clothes on his body, as if he didn't like the color, almost made him tear the fabric, and the little girl who followed him hurriedly stopped him.

Xiao Liu was elated, he is the most beautiful kid in the audience today, so many people came to see him, he was so excited, people are going crazy, people are going crazy.

Cuihua asked them to bow to the wives in the hall to thank them. The two children moved in unison, holding small fists, and saluted the wives, "Thank you, grandma, aunt, thank you!"

A group of people laughed and said, "Oh, little darlings, grandma is going to take her home!"

Xiao Wu immediately changed his face, looked at Cuihua, saw that his mother didn't answer, and was anxious: "No, no!"

"Hahaha, my little boy understands it, and you don't like it!" Everyone laughed again. They didn't expect this year-old doll to be so smart and good-looking, which is really rare.

Xiao Liu was very enthusiastic about hospitality, grabbed the red dates in the fruit plate, gave them to everyone, divided two for each, and kept saying, "Eat, eat!"

This generosity has spoiled a group of people. Mrs. Gao really likes these two children, and she will never let go of one of them. His grandchildren have all grown up, the youngest is six years old, naughty Very, how can a one-year-old doll be cute.

During Catch Week, the two babies were taken to the hall in the front yard, and a group of wives followed to join in the fun.

The two babies didn't know how to be afraid, so they were carried by their father to a large table, which was full of small objects: seals, books, pens, ink, paper, inkstone, abacus, small gold ingots, flowers, food, small bows and arrows, small knives, etc. , I don't know that the bad guy even put a rouge box.

The two children looked at their father, and Hei Wa smiled and said to the child: "Go inside and get one, take the one you like the most, and only take one!" He also raised a finger, one.

The two babies walked to the front of this pile of gadgets neatly and began to study. There was no practice for the two at home, so they just thought about it casually, just a form, let them play by themselves.

Xiao Wu looked at it for a long time, and pulled out a long knife from a pile of things. This is a wooden toy knife for children. It was made by Lao Yuantou. It was polished very smooth, and the handle was wrapped with cloth. .

Xiao Wu pulled out the knife at once, held the long knife, and said to his mother, "Mother, knife!"

This kid, seeing his mother playing with a knife in the morning, was very envious and wanted to imitate it.

A group of people immediately congratulated Hei Wa: "Uncle now has a successor, it seems that your son will be a general in the future!"

Xiao Liu and his elder brother have different hobbies. They looked at it for a long time, ah, why is this gold ingot so beautiful?Without hesitation, he chose the gold ingot, holding it with a smile and blooming.

Although a group of people couldn't hide the gloating in their eyes: Uncle Zhongqin's mansion is going to produce a merchant, this is it!Hahaha!
But Cuihua and his wife didn't care, they smiled and helped themselves: This is a little money fan, who likes bright things.

He was also complimented by others, that your son has a good way of making money, and he will not be short of money to spend in the future.

Wealthy families are so duplicitous, they look down on merchants, but they also understand the beauty of money. To maintain a decent life, how can they spend less money?

In addition to the birthday noodles with various toppings, Yuan Fu always likes to use the ingredients and table noodles produced in the village.

Because of the convenience of the oven, a roast suckling pig was directly served on the table, and the suckling pig was marinated in the ice cellar for one night with more than 20 kinds of spices. After: shaping → scalding → crispy syrup → crisp Leather syrup → roasting and other processes.

Cut into pieces, but also completely restore the pig's body, this big plate is very shocking!The imported ones are even more crispy and fragrant, and the mouth is full of oil.

The golden salt-baked chicken, cut into pieces, looks like a whole chicken when placed on a plate, with a salty aroma that makes it impossible to ignore it.

The sweet-skinned duck sprinkled with sesame seeds is a classic delicacy in Leshan, Sichuan. The stewed duck is brushed with maltose and the skin is drizzled with oil. When you eat it, the skin is sweet and the meat is fragrant. .

The fish is made into squirrel fish. There is no tomato sauce, and sour plum sauce is used instead. It is also very good, and the shape is even more beautiful.

Spicy eel shreds, many people who eat chili for the first time, are opened up by this overbearing spiciness to a new world, so good.

Lantern tofu and mapo tofu are indispensable. The bean sprouts in the soup are very small and fresh, and the sugar garlic and appetizing kimchi are so delicious that everyone can't stop eating.

After the meal, I also ate the honey cake baked by Cuihua. No diner was dissatisfied. Even if it is a common dish eaten in the village, the taste is so delicious!

Not to mention the men in the front yard, even the ladies in the backyard don't care about their image, and eat a lot. Mrs. Yan is a child of a general, and she eats it very boldly. She loves this sweet-skinned duck so much!

Cuihua simply packed a box of honey cakes for every wife. Who doesn’t have a few children who love pastries?

Mrs. Gao stayed at the end, and Cuihua led her to visit the noodle workshop in Dali Village, and also saw the peppers grown in the village: "Old lady, these are the peppers, and the spiciness in today's dishes comes from them .”

Mrs. Gao knows a lot about the peppers in the Yuan Mansion. Looking at the red peppers all over the ground, she happily asked: "Your production is not low this year, but next year will you plant it on a large scale? Can you give us some seeds?" Is it?"

Cuihua nodded: "Next year, I will definitely be able to plant a large number of them. Old madam, I don't need to give you seeds. Next year, we will raise more seedlings. You can come directly to pick up the seedlings. It will be very easy to feed."

"That's great. You have a lot of chili peppers. I like them very much when they are hot. You agreed to save me some Miaoha next year."

"You have someone measure out the land to be planted, and I'll get the seedlings for you!"

Mrs. Gao smiled and narrowed her eyes. This Mrs. Yuan is a generous person. She wants to go back and ask the housekeeper. They also have a lot of Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. This pepper is very good, and she is very optimistic about it.

There are quite a few people who will give away the pepper seedlings of Cuihua next year. In addition to her husband's family, her mother's family, and old villagers, Huangzhuang will also plant [-] acres of pepper seedlings, and she has promised to help raise the seedlings.

After next year, Daxia's peppers will be planted on a large scale, and what will be added to the Daxia Dynasty will be a strong flavor.

After the lively Chow Chow Ceremony was over, the Yuan Mansion hired women from the village to start picking chili peppers for a hundred cash a day.

After picking the peppers, it’s time to cut the wheat again. After the wheat is harvested, we’ll start making dried noodles again, and we won’t be able to stop until the Chinese New Year. The daughters-in-law of the three villages have been looking forward to this day for a long time, laughing and laughing as they start working.
