Who understands? I took the library with me to farm

Chapter 17 Roast Goose

Zheng Laoliu is indeed brave enough and cheap enough, but he is not afraid of death.

He knew that breaking into the boudoir and doing inappropriate things violated the laws of Dayan. If he really made a big fuss, he would be slapped with a plank and squatted on a "fence".

It was only because the beauty was alluring and someone happened to take the initiative to "give me some advice" that I dared to take the risk and come here.

If he succeeds in what happened today, the defiled woman will definitely not dare to speak out. In the future, he will be able to use this as a threat to manipulate He Miao unscrupulously.

It's just that he never expected that not to mention that he lost his hand and was seriously injured, it was simply a waste of money.

The "baby pimple" that he was born with and that he thinks is great may not be useful in the future.

The evildoers deserve their own consequences!
  ……

He Miao sipped the light water-like tea brewed from the tea residue and pondered over it.

Only her family knew that she was recuperating from a sprained foot at home. If outsiders didn't keep a close eye on her for a long time, they wouldn't be able to seize the opportunity when there was no one at home.

The most important thing is that since she was injured, Feng Yuanlang had been guarding her almost every step of the way, but suddenly he disappeared. Then the thief "happened" to push the door in at this time.

Even if Zheng Laoliu was extremely cowardly, he would not dare to do such an evil thing openly in broad daylight. He obviously knew the details and came prepared.

All the events became entangled in He Miao's mind, and then she sorted them out piece by piece.

Someone must have cooperated inside and outside, deducted Feng Yuanlang, tipped off the news to Zheng Laoliu, and gave him the opportunity to break in and ruin her reputation.

In this family, the only people who have such evil intentions towards her and want to make her unhappy are Li Huahua and Chen Xiu'e's sisters-in-law.

He Miao thought of this and asked about Yuen Long's sudden disappearance at noon, and he naturally had the answer in his mind.

Li Huahua is arrogant and willful, loves to eat and is lazy. He can't stand He Miao being favored, so he has long wanted to do evil. This is obvious.

But she has a stupid mind and a rough heart, so she probably can't think of such a dirty trick.

As for Chen Xiu'e, it's different. She usually says "the older brother and younger sister are younger than the younger brother and younger brother" more beautifully than she sings, but in reality she is treacherous and sinister.

It was almost because she set up a trap and used the silly elder sister Li Huahua as a gunman, and colluded with Zheng Laoliu, who had long coveted her, that she staged such a "dirty drama".

It’s so childish!
  Although He Miao escaped this time and was not seriously harmed, she has always wanted to take revenge, and this matter will never end until the culprit is uncovered.

As for who the ghost in the house is, don't worry, the garbage will surface soon.

……

He Miao cleared her thoughts, poured the tea in the cup onto the dirt floor, and stretched her shoulders a few times to relieve her fatigue.

"GuluGulu——"

My stomach rumbled unsatisfactorily.

The food at home was so bad at this time that I ate bran vegetables all day long, and just the pot of melons I ate for lunch made my stomach suffer.

Sweet potatoes are good for laxatives, and if you eat too much, you will have the tendency to "relax".

The toilet at home is He Miao's biggest nightmare since time travel.

The pit is wide and deep, with two wooden boards padding it. Once you step on it, it will sway softly.

She squatted down carefully every time, held her breath, and tried not to look at the "soft gold" below. She also had to deal with the swarms of flies in her ears, not to mention the collapse.

The scariest thing is what happens after it ends. The use of straw paper is not popular in the village, and they are accustomed to using local materials. Wooden sticks, corn sticks, stones, and hay leaves are all commonly used tools. For He Miao, they are also "instruments of torture."

If she continued to eat sweet potatoes tonight, she really wanted to roll out noodles and hang herself from the beam like the original owner.

After a long day of work, the first thing is to satisfy the stomach.

"Let's go! Yuen Long, go to the yard and get me a matza, and let's go make some delicious food!"

She tiptoed into the kitchen and sat on the pony. Feng Yuanlang was busy hurriedly, although he couldn't do anything well, his expression was extremely focused and serious.

There was a stack of tofu skins stored in the cupboard. They were leftovers from Aunt Wang’s tofu shop and asked Feng Xiaoxi to take them back and eat them.

He Miao licked her fingers and looked through the "Suiyuan Food List", planning to make a vegetarian roast goose, which is tofu skin wrapped in yam paste.

First pour a little white vinegar and salt into a porcelain bowl, dilute it with water, put your hand in and soak it for a while.

Yam mucus contains plant alkaloids, which will itch the skin directly. Soaking it in vinegar and salt water will make it much better.

Use a knife to peel the yam skin cleanly, then cut the yam meat into pieces and soak them in the vinegar and salt water just now to prevent oxidation. During this period, cook the tofu skin.

Vinegar is made from pure grain and is very valuable, and salt is not cheap, so the water cannot be thrown away after use and should be kept aside.

The craftsmanship of this era was rough, and the tofu skin produced was hard and scummy. It had to be boiled in boiling water until it was soft and shaped before use.

Boil the yam cubes in the remaining hot water, mash them with a mortar and pestle, and wrap them in tofu skin.

The amber translucent bean skin is wrapped in the fragrant and soft yam paste, which looks delicious.

He Miao asked Feng Yuanlang to go out and fold a few small wooden branches of uniform thickness, break them into small pieces, clean them, use them as toothpicks to poke into the tofu skin rolls, fix them into small bundles, and put them in a pot to steam.

The highlight is making the sauce, which requires soy sauce, sugar, black bean paste, and cornel powder, which is made from dried and ground cornel fruits picked in the mountains.

The dogwood fruit was picked by Huandi and Dabao when they went to the mountains to play. It looked good. He Miao found out about the wonderful uses of this fruit in the "Wild Things Illustrated Book" and made a small jar while recuperating.

Cornus officinalis powder is sweet and sour with a bit of bitterness, fragrant and slightly spicy. It relieves greasiness and removes fishy smell, and is perfect for seasoning.

After steaming, take it out of the pot, pour the sauce on it, and a vegetarian roast goose that is as delicious as a meat dish is ready.

After finishing this dish, there are still some bean skins left in the pot, cut into shreds, mixed with the newly picked fine-leaf spinach in the backyard, poured with the vinegar and salt water and coarsely minced chili peppers, and it becomes a refreshing cold dish.

Then make a big pot of yellow rice porridge, using the millet stored in the granary, which can stretch your belly and make you full.

After the sun went down, the family dragged their tired bodies back.

As soon as Chen Xiu'e entered the house, she looked anxiously towards the west room and found that it was pitch dark inside, with only the kitchen light on.

She hurriedly put down the farm tools, washed her hands, and immediately got into the kitchen.

Seeing the water vapor floating in the pot, the firewood in the stove was burning brightly. Beside the stove, He Miao was sitting on a pony, calmly stirring the hot porridge.

Did nothing happen this afternoon? Otherwise, how could this little girl be so calm and composed?

Chen Xiu'e was stunned for a moment, then showed her usual enthusiasm and went over to snatch the wooden spoon from He Miao's hand.

"Third brother and sister, my feet haven't healed yet, so why are you cooking in the fields? Look at you, it's a good thing to be able to do it, but you can't not cherish yourself too much! I'll look at the pot, and you go back to the house to rest. Bar."
