Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 66

When Puhuang returned, Hong Haoan had already processed the peach blossom fishes, and was mixing the spices with a wooden barrel, and there was a strong fragrance in the air.

Puhuang cleaned up the bought fish, put them in a basin and put them on the stove. Hong Haoan was still holding the wooden bucket and stirring it clockwise with a wooden stick. It was thick and mushy, and it was impossible to see what the ingredients were, let alone smell it. So many kinds of spices were mixed together, and it had already become another unscented smell.

"Do you want me to help?" Pu Huang lifted his chin slightly and motioned to Hong Hao'an.

"No, the lady has worked hard, let's take a nap." Hong Haoan shook his head, the speed in his hand was still stirring at a constant speed.

Puhuang didn't disturb Hong Hao'an's work, Mirror went to fetch the fine hemp thread, twisted it into a fine hemp rope, and waited for the next fish to be skewered. As for where the fish was hung, it was very simple, of course it was the roof of the kitchen.The bamboo pole was cut down before, and it will be weighed and put on, and the fine hemp rope will be tied up later.

Hong Haoan finished mixing, stopped his soft hands, wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and rested for a while, then picked up the fish that had been skewered with hemp rope by Puhuang, and put them all in the wooden barrel, with the rope exposed outside.

It would take about six hours to soak in this way. Hong Haoan put the barrel aside and breathed a sigh of relief.After the preliminary work is done, it is time to look at the later stage. The fish should be hung to dry in the shade. As long as the surface does not turn white and moldy, it is a success. As long as it is not damp, it can be stored for two or three years.

After such a toss, the sky became dark, Puhuang neatly peeled off the rabbit skin, processed the minced meat, and hung it up to dry in the shade. She doesn't know how to tan the skin, so the rabbit skin can only be saved first. When you become a neighbor with Liu Orion, you can ask him for help if you can't learn skills.

After processing the fish, Hong Haoan wanted to try braised meat. This is easier than making the dried fish. The seasoning was already prepared. After eating, Puhuang also processed the pheasants and threw them to Hong at once. Hao'an dealt with it, anyway, she was not very interested in making marinade or anything.

Before going to bed at night, the two cooperated tacitly to take out the fish that had been soaked almost, and hung them one by one on the bamboo pole in the kitchen. Looking at the dozen or so fish hanging, it was quite a sense of accomplishment. The two smiled similarly.Especially Hong Hao'an, he seems to have found the goal of life, his whole mental state has undergone a qualitative change from before, and his whole feeling has become different.

On the second day, Hong Hao'an got up and went to look at the lo mei. He smelled the fragrance carefully, tasted it, and kept frowning.Pu Huang felt strange, "Is there something wrong?" She ate it by herself, it was quite delicious, of course, it was not up to the top level, but she blamed this on Hong Haoan's unfamiliarity with the ratio.

"The ingredients are not quite right, I have to study more." Hong Hao'an's brow creases could almost kill several mosquitoes. He finally found a starting point and didn't want to give up easily.

"That's okay, take your time. Uncle Wang and the others are going to continue to build houses today. I'll go and have a look." Pu Huang didn't interfere with Hong Hao'an's affairs. It was exposed to the sun, but the construction site was too wet and inconvenient to work. According to Carpenter Wang, it was necessary to dry it to let the moisture on the surface of the wall dissipate.

When Puhuang went, Hong Haoping was helping to build the corner frame. When he saw Puhuang, he just nodded and called his sister-in-law, and then he buried his head in hard work. Huang was a little surprised, what happened?
But she didn't ask too much. Carpenter Wang refused to ask Puhuang to help as usual, which made Puhuang guess whether women were not allowed to participate in building a house, otherwise there would be something unknown?

Turned over those vegetable fields again, and then started to put the soaked manure in the compost pool into the vegetable field, and then stirred evenly. During the process, she accidentally cut several earthworms in half. Of course, she didn't mean it.

She didn't expect that the earthworms hadn't run away yet. After all, the compost pond was full of water, and earthworms didn't like places that were too humid.

The retting fertilizer in a small pond is definitely not enough for the vegetable field. After cleaning it up, Puhuang went to get the perishable weeds and fallen leaves and threw them in. It will be added continuously in the future, and it can be used as fertilizer again after a month.

Another half month passed, and the walls of the house were almost built. At this time, Carpenter Wang was leading people to apply yellow mud to the outer layer of the mud bricks, and then lime. After all this was done, the beams could be erected. The tiles are on.

The beams of the house were gradually brought over, and the number of people coming and going every day gradually increased. Puhuang would burn many barrels of tea and provide them every day. She could hear some movements in the room, and often, she could hear Wu Shi and Hong Xiaomei scolding Chen Shi and Chen's children together, and the words were as ugly as they were.

Thinking of Hong Haoping's abnormality in the past half month, could it have something to do with it?
Pu Huang didn't think much about it, and didn't want to intervene in this matter. If Hong Haoping didn't fight himself, then his wife and children would always be wronged.

Before raising the beam, there is still a sacrifice, so there are many things to prepare. After Pu Huang asked Mrs. Guan, he hurriedly prepared. Little waxy and red paper, for this, she even ran a trip to the town.

After Hong Haoan presided over the worship, Carpenter Wang sprinkled glutinous rice in bowls in several important corners of the house, and then wrapped a few brand new coins in red paper and placed them on the main beam of the hall, and then wrapped them in red paper. Glutinous rice wrapped in paper was pressed on it, and as soon as the main girder was installed, firecrackers sounded outside the house, which told everyone that Hong Hao'an now had his own house.

Pu Huang looked at the cheering children, and then at the people in the house who were going up to other beams in full swing. He felt a strange feeling in his heart. The body had a home, but what about the heart?
Feeling emotional, Puhuang turned his head and saw Hong Haoping looking at his room with misty eyes, "Second brother, what do you think?"

"Brother and sister-in-law have their own house, congratulations." Hong Haoping tried his best to speak calmly, but he couldn't hide the depression in his words.

Pu Huang thought for a while, and decided to tell Hong Haoping that in the past few days, every time she passed by the door of Hong's house, she could hear Wu's yelling and cursing. Didn't Chen tell Hong Haoping?Maybe she wanted to wait for Hong Haoping to find out by herself, but she didn't know that this was the most stupid behavior.

"Second brother, I think you'd better go back and have a look. I'm afraid the second brother and sister will be having a hard time recently." Pu Huang looked at the bright smile on Hong Haoan's face, and said lightly, seeing that Hong Haoping took the initiative to help build the house, Just help Mrs. Chen, this bitter trick is really good.

Hong Haoping was shocked, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

"You already guessed it, why do you still ask me?" Seeing Hong Haoping running home suddenly after hearing what he said, Pu Huang smiled faintly.

While Puhuang's side was filled with joy and laughter, the Hong's side was in low pressure and looked like a storm was about to come.

It's not scary for irritable people to get angry, but the most fearful thing is for honest people to get angry. After listening to Puhuang's words, Hong Haoping seemed to think of something. He ran home and heard his mother and sister talking to his wife and children. All kinds of cynicism.

Especially Mrs. Wu, all sorts of supporters asked Mrs. Chen to do things, and she was asked to kneel from the kitchen to deliver the footwashing water to the door of the room, and if she was not satisfied, she would poke her with the real thing... After standing at the door for a while, Hong Haoping witnessed The bad behavior of his mother and sister, but his wife remained silent, and the two children shrank in the room and wept in a low voice.

Hong Haoping only felt that his lungs were going to explode with anger. No wonder his wife became more and more silent, saying nothing. He thought she was angry with him. dare not say.

"Mother, little sister, you really are my good mother and good sister!" Hong Haoping's eyes turned red like thunder, and the thunderous roar rang in the ears of the two mothers and daughters in the fantasy that he was his wife and young lady. side, frightened them to stagger.
