Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 194
In the early morning, Gu Siwei was idle here for a long time, and Hu Yanqiu and Sicui seemed to have endless things to say when they got together. In addition, feeding Da Mao from time to time, and going to the vegetable garden to work, it seemed quite busy.

After lunch at noon on the second day, Gu Siwei waited for the sun to dip slightly to the west, and then drove the boat to the pier of Liu Guo's family. He wanted to talk to Liu Fulin, so he went to the village to pick him up. Entering the valley, I saw Sun Qiumei and her new husband, Zhao Fangming, who I was going to pick up, helping Liu Fulin and his family to dry new food.

"Why are you here? I said I would pick you up in the village." Gu Siwei greeted the two of them with a loud smile.

Hearing Gu Siwei's voice, Sun Qiumei leaned on the wheat paddle in her hand and replied, "We have nothing to do at home. We just came here with Brother Shengshou's boat. I was thinking about where you will go later. I didn't expect You arrived first."

Gu Siwei invited these two couples because he wanted to help others. After all, these two couples have no land and can't produce much food. Zhao Fangming's family must not count on it. I really don't know what to say to such an old man at the stall. good.

Although it is also a way to make a living by running a factory to sell some goods, but this business is not so easy to do. In the nearby villages, many people live by the factory. It is not so easy for you to make a lot of money.

As the old saying goes, money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat.

The difficulty of making money is not reflected in these things.

Gu Siwei asked Zhao Fangming and his wife to come here today, mainly because he wanted them to help cook for seven or eight people.

Gu Siwei didn't plan to wake up the big guy this time to eat and drink.

The food standard that the big guys were invited to eat when they planted seeds last time was obviously a bit too high, and it was not only a question of whether it was suitable or not, but in the eyes of others, he was the biggest bully.

Why do you say that, and with this way of eating, Gu Siwei's current crops in the fields must be planted by the villagers who came to sow and harvest.

That is to say, Gu Siwei didn't have much idea at first, but now as the life here gets deeper and deeper, Gu Siwei has gradually integrated into everyone's life.

Although I can't fully integrate into it, it's not the time when I first came after all.

So Gu Siwei is going to make it simpler this time. There is no such thing as braised pork, and it is impossible to have such super hard dishes such as rice seedlings in the future.

What is there?
This time, the big guys are invited to help collect the grain. You can't let everyone work hungry. This is not Gu Siwei's style, nor is it the style of any family.

This matter is quite easy to solve. There is a thing called the mouth under the nose. If you don’t understand, just ask. First, Gu Siwei asked Wu Daorong, a cheap cousin, and then specifically asked Liu Fulin for advice.

Liu Fulin was very relieved to hear Gu Siwei's question, and he praised that Gu Siwei finally started to live a real life.

This made Gu Siwei a little embarrassed.

As for Liu Fulin and Wu Daorong, the two of them agreed on this point surprisingly: they are just a hodgepodge, saving time and money.

It's very simple, whatever grows in the vegetable garden of Gu Siwei's house, the big guy eats it!Vegetables, radishes, and long beans are stewed in one pot.

What is the most important thing in this hodgepodge?
It's not because there are too many dishes, nor the taste of the dishes, but because of the use of oil. As long as the oil is used enough, any chowder will be delicious in the world. What the folks lack now is oil.

The reason why I eat seven or eight steamed buns in one meal is not only because I can eat it, but also because there is no oil and water in my stomach, and I have to do heavy work to eat only carbohydrates, so I can't live without seven or eight steamed buns.

Therefore, Gu Siwei's idea is also very simple, just use lard directly. Anyway, he has stored two large jars of this thing in his own space, and he is worried about how his brother and sister will eat it.

It's not that Gu Siwei doesn't like to eat lard, but the lard of wild boar. Gu Siwei always feels that there is a smell and it's not fragrant enough!Even if it is the oil boiled from the wild boar produced in the space, Gu Siwei also feels that it tastes wrong.

This time I just took this opportunity to deal with it.

If you have vegetables, you must have a staple food. This time, I don’t eat steamed buns. I eat pancakes, which are also noodles but are made in a different way. This kind of pancakes is baked and not as soft as the steamed buns last time. Big belly guys One person can eat five or six, or even a dozen.

This time I invited Sun Qiumei to come over to make pancakes. The main thing is that they are hard. I heard that after they are made, they are so hard that they can be hit like a stone.

This kind of pancake has little water in it and can be stored for a long time. Even if it is baked in summer, as long as this kind of pancake is not wet or damp, it will be fine for seven or eight days.

"I just wanted to go to the village to pick you up, so I won't run away now," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

As he spoke, he greeted Zhao Fangming, Liu Fulin and others.

Liu Fulin saw that Gu Siwei was holding things and wanted to help with work, so he quickly said, "Don't come in, we are almost busy here, just raise the sundries and so on."

Gu Siwei was not too polite after hearing this, and retreated outside the rice drying place, standing outside and continuing to chat with everyone.

"By the way, Siwei, you have to collect your sweet potatoes too, right?"

Guo Shengshou thought for a while and asked.

"Collect everything, this time together." Liu Fulin continued with a smile, "Don't tell me, Siwei's farming skills are not good, but the crops he grows are really first-class. Last time I went to I took out a sweet potato from the edge of the field and looked at it, and there was a bunch of bald lumps on each root, if all of them were harvested like this, it would be quite a lot!"

"It's just right if there are too many, and it will take a long time to dry the rice and dried sweet potatoes together," Guo Shengshou said with a smile.

After hearing this, Gu Siwei said: "I don't like to eat dried sweet potatoes. I'm going to make all the sweet potatoes into vermicelli. This way is convenient to eat, and I like it too, and it's easy to place."

When he started eating dried sweet potatoes, Gu Siwei was quite interested, but after eating porridge and boiled dried sweet potatoes a few times, Gu Siwei became less interested in it, because he felt that eating dried sweet potatoes is better than eating roasted sweet potatoes It's sweet.

Originally, cellaring is also possible, but Gu Siwei prefers to eat vermicelli. When it comes to winter, a pot of pork stewed vermicelli will be served. It will be warm and served with rice.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Siwei decided to make all the sweet potatoes into vermicelli.

"All leaked into vermicelli?"

Liu Fulin was a little dazed when he heard that, he really didn't know that Gu Siwei was going to turn all the sweet potatoes into vermicelli.

Why did Liu Fulin say that the noodles were leaking? It was because the noodles were all made by hand at this time. It would be a bit nonsense to hire someone to make a machine. The villagers are really reluctant to spend the money. Usually, the sweet potatoes are dried and put in the village. Grind it into powder, and then the big guys work together to make vermicelli.

An omission shows the most important step in the production, that is, the dough is put into a container, and there is a small hole in the bottom of the container, and the dough is hammered with a wooden hammer. These fine pores are sprayed out.

It falls into the hot water pot under the container, and after taking it out and passing through the cold water, you get the common vermicelli.

Among them, if you spend a penny, it seems that your popularity in the village must not be very good, otherwise, why would you spend money to leak fans.

"all!"

Liu Fulin said: "This work is hard work, probably more difficult than collecting them from the field."

Thinking of the sweet potatoes brought up last time, Liu Fulin felt that the output of Gu Siwei's field would not be small, and it was really a job to make all of them into vermicelli.

"I'm good at milling strips, Siwei, take one of us with you"

As soon as Zhao Fangming heard that there was a job, he immediately opened his mouth to sign up.

The couple now think that as long as they have a job, even if they don’t give any money, they can still earn money by working in other people’s homes, not to mention that this family is still Gu Siwei, and it is impossible to save this person like other families of.

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "If you are willing, you will be considered as a couple."

Someone has to do the work anyway, so who is not a good one to invite?

"That's a deal," Zhao Fangming said happily.

Zhao Fangming is really not as dull now as he was when we first met. Gu Siwei saw that he was much more mature in dealing with people and things than before, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional, wondering if getting married can make a man mature all at once.

"You two put your things down, we will do the rest of the work ourselves, you should go to Siwei's house earlier, his work is tighter than ours."

At this time, Liu Fulin suddenly said something.

Zhao Fangming and Sun Qiumei looked at each other, and then Sun Xiaomei said to Liu Fulin, "Master Fulin, let's go."

"Go, go, just a wisecrack, besides, if you stay a little longer, I will have to invite you to dinner. Our dinner is really not as good as Siwei's... Hahaha" Liu Fulin was half joking Seriously.

Sun Xiaomei laughed happily when she heard this: "Who can compare, or you need knowledge to do anything!"

After a few words on both sides, Gu Siwei and the three went out of the valley, boarded the boat, and were dragged by grass flowers and squares towards Yinsong Cliff.

The couple have been here more than once, so the interest in grass flowers and cubes has long since passed, and the two discussed with Gu Siwei how to do the next work along the way.

Gu Siwei is very bachelor: everything is arranged by the couple.

When they arrived at the place, the couple didn't rest for a while. Zhao Fangming asked where the bag of flour from Gu Siwei's house was, and immediately started kneading the dough. Sun Xiaomei took Hu Yanqiu and Sicui into the vegetable garden with a basket. Take a trip to the home to transport the vegetables that can be picked.

Gu Siwei is here to help Zhao Fangming make peace.

Kneading noodles with a large number of people is not a pot at all, but a small ceramic vat that is directly used, and the noodles are tens of kilograms in size at once, and the pancake noodles have to be hard when baked. It is really not something that one person can do, at least Gu After working on Siwei's side for a while, he felt his arms sore.

"You don't need it, I can do it by myself. This job requires skill, you don't do it often, and you really can't do it."

Seeing Gu Siwei rubbing his arms, Zhao Fangming said with a smile.
