Farmer's happy event

Chapter 74 Eating Frozen Fish

The lotus seeds have already developed antibodies to Li's and can be filtered automatically.Even if it was something more obscene, she had no doubt that Mrs. Li could do it.

I'm too lazy to argue with them, it's useless to argue any more, the persimmon trees on the left and right can't survive.

Lianzi took two steps back, and then looked at the three persimmon trees intently.

The autumn wind is blowing, and the still green leaves are whirling slightly, as if greeting the lotus seeds, and as if telling the grief in their hearts.

Lianzi couldn't bear to look at it anymore, maybe it was because she had devoted almost all of her thoughts to the agriculture and forestry industry in the first half of her life. At this time, she really had feelings for this persimmon tree.Thinking that in a few days, they would slowly wither until they died, she felt empty and uncomfortable.

"Let's go, no matter how hard you touch the tree, you won't survive." Lianzi said, turned and walked out.

Several children followed suit, Zhang Zihe turned his head and said angrily at them, "Look at what you've done!"

Just leave?all right?Mrs. Zheng looked at Liu Changsheng and thought there was going to be a big scene.

But, what kind of character is that Lianzi Xiaonizi?Why do these sons and daughters of rich and noble families listen to her so much?
Suddenly, she remembered that Mrs. Li often talked to her, saying that this girl is a hard-working girl, and she can control her.

It turned out that she was an ominous person. It seemed that she would stay far away from her in the future, so as not to be implicated by her ominous person.

"Can't this tree live?" Zheng looked at the persimmon tree and suddenly asked Liu Changsheng.

Liu Changsheng yelled directly: "Which eye of yours can see that you can't live? Isn't this a good life? Don't listen to those bastards talking nonsense, what a bird?"

That's right, Mrs. Zheng looked left and right, the tree was indeed in good shape, and there was nothing wrong with it, the lotus seeds must have been bluffing her.Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng scolded Lianzi a few more words.

Last night, after Mrs. Li left, Mrs. Zheng discussed the matter of moving the tree with Liu Changsheng.Liu Changsheng naturally agreed. Although he was lazy, he gave all the money to his door, so there was no reason why he didn't want it.

So, before dawn today, I went up the mountain with my wife, planed up the three persimmon trees, dragged them to the cart at the bottom of the mountain, and moved them to my yard to plant them.

Everything is unconscious, and after the tree is planted, the genius is bright.

There were still many fruits on the tree, and Mrs. Zheng picked the yellow and ripe fruits and took a bite eagerly.Unexpectedly, this bite made her frown deeply.

Of course she knew that the persimmons were astringent, so these trees grew on the mountain, and no one picked them when they were full of fruits.But when she went to the market last time in the town, she clearly saw Liu Jingren carrying lotus seeds, and selling persimmons was very popular.So she thought, it should be that the persimmons sold by Lianzi's family are different from other varieties of persimmons, and the persimmons sold by their family are not astringent.It was also a coincidence that she happened to know where the persimmons from Lianzi's house came from, so she moved the persimmon tree back to her yard without any scruples.

But no, if her persimmons were astringent, no one would buy them.Therefore, there must be some mystery in it, she must go and see.

In this way, there will be the one that came out early this morning.She sneaked and sneaked at the door of Lianzi's house, looked in through the crack of the door, and saw only a big vat, Yang Shi and Liu Jingren were pouring hot water into the vat.She came a little late, so she couldn't see what was in the jar.

It wasn't until Lianzi walked over and picked one out of the vat to look at the sun that she could see clearly that it was a persimmon.

It was only then that Mrs. Zheng understood, and it seemed that this was the mystery. The persimmons had to be scalded with hot water before they would lose their astringency.

Just when she was very excited, who would have thought that she would run into Zhang Zihe and be forced into the house by him.

That's what happened after that.But it doesn't matter, Zuo Zuo now has not only persimmons, but also trees in his family, and he also knows how to remove the astringency from the persimmons, so he is afraid that he will not be able to make more money.

When the time comes to make money, Mrs. Li must not know how much she has earned. She just came to help pick persimmons and sell persimmons, and she will give her half of them. Mrs. Zheng feels distressed when she thinks about it. She really shouldn't have done so so quickly promise her.In fact, Mrs. Zheng also had selfish intentions, thinking that if something happened and Lianzi's family came to her, she could use Mrs. Li as a shield.

After tossing all morning, it was almost noon.Mrs. Zheng was still immersed in the excitement of making a lot of money. She didn't even bother to make lunch, so she went directly to the kitchen to boil a large pot of hot water, and poured all the ripe persimmons into the house to wash clothes. in the big basin.

She thought to herself, since persimmons are very astringent, the hotter the water must be, the better.So, she poured all the scalding hot water into the big basin without leaking, and then, under Liu Changsheng's urging, happily went to the kitchen to cook.

After the meal was ready, Mrs. Zheng wanted to see how the persimmons were doing and whether the astringency had gone away.

Unexpectedly, when she looked into the big basin, her heart suddenly became cold.There seems to be something wrong with this situation.

The last time she saw the persimmons sold by the Lianzi family, although the color was not as bright as when it was just picked, it was still a darker golden yellow.However, the persimmons that she scalded with hot water now turned brown?

Maybe it's because of the hot water, maybe wait a while, and when the water cools down, the color of the persimmons will change back.

She was consoling herself self-righteously again.

After eating, Mrs. Zheng went to see the persimmons again.At this time, the water is almost completely cool, but why is the color getting darker and darker?

Mrs. Zheng fished one out of the water, and it was a little soft when pinched.Take another bite, still astringent.

What can I do?She suddenly panicked.She saw it clearly, it was obviously pouring hot water on the persimmons, how could it be like this?Could it be that there are so many persimmons?

No matter how anxious Zheng was, after Lianzi returned home, she told her family about the matter.

Although Mrs. Yang has a temperament that never suffers, the persimmon tree does not belong to her family after all. They have moved it back to their own home. Except for the village chief, no one else can say anything clearly.Although she has a violent temper, she has always been a reasonable person.

This matter can only be like this.Perhaps in the future we will no longer be able to sell persimmons.

But from this incident, Lianzi has also learned a lesson, no matter what she wants to get, she must make it completely belong to her own home, so that no one can come up with ideas!
The last batch of persimmons were sold out, and the matter was over.

Winter is coming soon, and the first snow falls a little late this year, a full month later than in previous years.But the heavy snow fell heavily, and it took two days and two nights to stop.

There is no work in the field, and the preserved fruit to be sent to shopkeeper Zhang has been delivered continuously during the off-season, so even though it is the peak season, it will not be very busy.

The sauce made for shopkeeper Dong's restaurant is relatively simple to make, and you can make a lot of it in a short time, and someone will come to pick it up, so you don't have to worry too much.

It's just that this year's peanut harvest is bumper again, and Mrs. Yang peels it again when she is free.Hurry up and finish peeling, and you can make snacks early to sell.

It's icy and snowy outside, it's okay if it freezes in the morning and at night, but if the sun comes out during the day, the snow will melt and the road will be muddy, let alone a carriage, it will be very difficult for people to walk on the road.

These few days, Lianzi's family didn't go out, they warmed up around the stove in the main room.

After the snow, the weather has been very fine, the sun was shining brightly.It's freezing outside, but inside it's warm as spring.

Sitting by the stove, Lianzi couldn't help but recall that in winter, the whole family often sat around the stove, and the frozen fish was simmering on the stove. The smell was fragrant, and there was no fishy smell at all.

It would be great if there were frozen fish, Lianzi couldn't help thinking.With this solar term and this temperature, there should be frozen fish in the river, but it would take a lot of effort to dig holes in the ice to fish them.

"Mother, can we go to the river to catch frozen fish?" Lianzi asked Yang.

After the snow fell, there must be some frozen fish. At noon, I smashed a hole in the ice, took some nets to pocket some, and stewed them for the children to eat.

"Wait until noon," said Yang, "Let your father take you to fish."

"Oh, let's go fishing!" Li Zi cheered excitedly when he heard that he was going to go fishing at noon.

It had just snowed, and no one had chiseled the river yet.After lunch, Liu Jingren took the four children, took the tools, and went to the riverside.

He first chose a place where the ice was thinner, and smashed it hard with a big stone a few times, the ice surface soon cracked, then picked up the stone, smashed it a few times, and an ice hole appeared.On the edge of the ice hole, there were indeed several frozen fish.

Where the ice is thin, there will be more oxygen, and fish will definitely swim here.But as the temperature drops, the freezing area will become larger and larger, and the fish will be frozen and become frozen fish.

Liu Jingren smashed several holes in the ice and caught seven or eight frozen fish before returning home.

There is no need to prepare anything else for dinner, just put the white flour steamed buns steamed a few days ago in the pot and eat fish.

After Liu Jingren returned home, he took three smaller fish, disemboweled them, cleaned them up, and handed them over to Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang first heated up the big pot, fried the pot with onion, ginger, garlic, chili, peppercorns and bean paste, then put the fish into the pot and fried it until both sides turned golden brown, then added water and covered it. Cover and simmer carefully.

After the pot was boiled, white waves surged in the pot, and at the same time, there was a burst of fragrance, and Lian Zi couldn't help rubbing his belly, feeling even hungrier.

After finally waiting for the fish to be stewed, Mrs. Yang put the fish meat in a big bowl, and a bowl of fish soup for everyone in a small bowl, and started to eat deliciously with white flour steamed buns.

Lianzi didn't like fish very much before, mainly because she couldn't stand the fishy smell.But this frozen fish is different, the fishy smell is not strong, and the thorns are easy to remove.

The family ate up all three fish, and even drank the fish soup to the last drop.

After eating the chestnuts, he patted his chubby belly through the thick padded jacket: "Why do you think this year's fish is particularly delicious?"

"That's because you're greedy." Yang said with a smile.

After eating, it is not advisable to go to bed immediately.The whole family sat by the stove and warmed up for a while, Yang was still peeling peanuts, and Liu Jingren was helping her.

Guzi and Douzi are doing embroidery work, and they are very good at embroidery now.Mrs. Yang said that Chunzi would be leaving the cabinet soon, and he was busy with this and other things all day long, so he had no time at all, so he asked Guzi and Douzi to work hard and make some embroidery, and Chunzi would be out of the cabinet at that time Sometimes, it is not impossible to produce embroidery work.

Li Zi hated sewing at first, but for some reason, she fell in love with sewing with scissors, tailoring and sewing, and making clothes by herself.It's just that she is young after all, and she looks very beautiful, but the stitches are very horrible.

Lianzi doesn't like needlework. In her previous life, someone told her that she was not good at needlework. She just smiled and said, "How can someone who handles crops all day can do fine work?"

When I had nothing to do, I took a book and read it under the lamp.What she was reading was the book that Zhang Zihe gave her before.

In the past few years, perhaps because she really wanted to make money to get rid of poverty, the books Lianzi read were all purposeful, either about medicine or farming.At the beginning, when he saw that what Zhang Zihe gave was actually a strange story, he complained a lot in his heart, who has the time to read stories at home all day like him.

Therefore, this book has been kept on Lianzi's bedside, and I haven't read it much.I just turned it over when I was sorting things out recently. I read two pages, but I didn't expect it to be really interesting.

Lianzi was reading with great interest, when she suddenly heard Lizi say, "Mother, when are we going to the market?"

While peeling the peanuts, Mrs. Yang said leisurely: "Today is the third day of November, and the sixth day is the fair, but the snow won't melt, and the road is not easy to walk. Otherwise, let's wait until the eleventh day to see. Let's go, let's go."

Lizi agreed, with a big smile on his face, and he could go to the market again.
