Chapter 20 Stewed Bones
Qin Miao's father and elder brother and second brother both came, Er Gou's father came from Er Gou's house.Ergou's father looks very ordinary, but he is good at farm work. No wonder he was able to marry a villager like Ergouniang back then.

The sweet potatoes, radishes and cabbage in the middle of the mountain, plus a large slice of scallions, and a fat wild boar, as long as these things can be brought home, they are all their own, so everyone is particularly motivated.Seeing that it was getting late, everyone worked hard to dig the crops, bagged them, and stacked them next to them.

It was also during such a busy process that Qin Miao saw with her own eyes the ability of the second dog father. He alone was more capable than the three fathers and sons of the Qin family combined!

The sun fell to the horizon, and when the setting sun dyed half of the sky red, everyone finally packed all the crops into bags and began to carry them down the mountain.Qin Miao once again found out in amazement that the second dog father could actually carry two big cloth bags by himself!And my father and elder brother are two people carrying a big cloth bag.

It was because of the second dog father that everyone was able to leave Shanqing Village in the ox cart at dusk.If there were only the three fathers and sons of the Qin family, they would have to be busy until dark to finish the calculation.

Qin Miao was small and sat on the bullock cart, while the others followed the bullock cart on foot.The people passing by the ox cart saw the wild boar on the ox cart and envied and envied them, but there was no way, the things in the mountains were given by God, and whoever had the ability could eat them. Thinking that there was a hunter who died in the mountains before, those people envied them. There is only helplessness left.

When the bullock cart returned to Tangjiazhuang Qin's house, it was already dark.The second dog's father, Tang Shuan, helped the Qin family unload more than half of the things on the bullock cart.Logically speaking, Ergou and Qin Miao discovered these things together, and the average score would be good, but Ergou's father insisted on giving more than half to the Qin family, because the Qin family's family is poorer than the Tang family.

Mrs. Li kept the second dog father for dinner, and the second dog father said that he would rush home to kill wild boars.So Li didn't insist, and took the whole family to stand at the door to watch Ergou Daddy and Ergou drive the ox cart home.

Because there are a lot of things harvested today, those radishes, cabbages, and sweet potatoes almost fill up the open space in the kitchen.The whole family is in a good mood.After dinner, Mrs. Li specially lit the oil lamp, and while she was doing her needlework, she listened to a few children chatting and amusing.

Qin Shaolian said: "Tomorrow I will start digging the cellar, and hide all the things I brought back today in the cellar, so that the wicked woman next door can't snatch them away."

After hearing what the second brother said, Qin Miao began to think, what is the best way to punish the shrew next door?Anyway, she won't be given a second chance to come to grab something.

Qin Shaoxian thought for a while and said, "I don't know how long those foods can be stored in the cellar. Now there are several months before next spring."

Qin Miao nodded: "Brother is still very thoughtful, the food in the cellar can't be stored until next spring. It will go bad after a period of time. Otherwise... let's transport some to the town to sell and exchange for it." Copper coins are used to buy grain, and grain can be stored for a long time.”

Qin Shaoxian agreed: "Alright, in a few days all the rocks in our field will be picked up, and I can go to the town then."

Father Qin Feng did not speak, it should be a tacit consent.

Qin Miao heard Aunt Liu say that she was going to the town to exchange copper coins for needlework these days, and today she heard He Hua talking about doing embroidery work and going to the town for copper coins. What is the town like?She was very curious, so she asked her father, "Dad, I want to go to the town to sell sweet potatoes with my eldest brother."

As soon as Qin Shaolian heard this, he immediately joined forces: "Father, I want to go too!"

Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, and said, "The eldest boy is going to sell things in the town, and the second boy will follow me to plant wheat in the fields." The fields are finally ready, and the season will be missed if we don't sow seeds.

As for the little girl, Qin Feng looked at Qin Miao kindly, and always felt that this daughter was a bit confused since she was not stupid. I stopped talking about those words I didn't understand, but the luck was surprisingly good, and I found so much food for the family twice before and after.

Since this little girl is extraordinary, it's not good to stay at home all the time, so she nodded and said, "Miaomiao wants to go to town, so go, but follow your elder brother closely, don't be kidnapped by a kidnapper."

"Okay, Dad, I will definitely listen to what Eldest Brother says." Qin Miao was very happy because she never thought that Dad would agree so smoothly.

After she was happy, Qin Miao tugged at her mother's sleeves and acted like a baby: "Mother, buy some food after changing the copper coin, let's stop eating chaff cake, okay?"

Mrs. Li inserted the pin on the sole of the shoe, and freed her hand to caress Qin Miao's small face: "Okay, listen to Miaomiao, she can buy whatever she wants. You found the food." , this time you have the final say."

"Okay, okay, great!" Qin Miao was so happy that she planned to secretly replenish some from the space on the day when the sweet potatoes were shipped to the town for sale, exchange for more copper coins, and then buy fine grains, a lot of them. flour and rice!Never eat that nasty chaffy cake again.

The family was talking and laughing lively, and there was a knock on the door outside the yard.Qin Shaoxian went out of the house and opened the courtyard door, only to see Ergou and his father walking in carrying half a wild boar.

It was rare to see such pristine wild boar meat, Qin Miao ran out in a hurry.

For a while, the small courtyard was full of people.Dad was busy thanking Ergou Dad.Ergou said to his mother: "Auntie, the meat must be marinated quickly, and it can't be left for too long. My mother asked me to bring you half a bag of salt." He took out a greased paper bag from his arms.

Seeing that the family finally had meat to eat, the second brother was very happy. He tugged on Er Gou's arm and asked, "Brother Er Gou, has the wild pork in your family been marinated? Does the wild pork taste particularly delicious?"

Er Gou smiled kindly: "The half wild boar meat in our family has been distributed to relatives in the clan. There is not much left. My mother has already marinated it. Goudan is greedy. Stewing big bones, Shaolian, come to my house to eat together later."

Qin Shaolian quickly waved his hands: "No, no, tomorrow I will ask my mother to stew bones for me."

Hearing that the pork from Ergou's family was distributed to relatives in the clan, Mrs. Li insisted on giving half of the pork to Ergou's family, but Ergou and his father refused.

It was getting late, and Ergou and his father left after a short stay.The small courtyard is much quieter.Qin Shaolian felt like he was in a dream. A few days ago, eating eggs from Brother Ergou at home felt like Chinese New Year, but today he was able to eat wild pork!He walked around the half fan of pork in the yard many times, swallowing his saliva with greed.

Qin Shaoxian had already sharpened his knife on the whetstone, and Mrs. Li put on an apron and poured half a pack of salt from Ergou into a coarse porcelain bowl, ready to start pickling wild pork after the knife was sharpened.

Qin Miao carried the oil lamp to the yard, the kitchen was too small and the room was not big, it seemed that wild pork could only be marinated in the yard, fortunately today was a sunny day with a half moon hanging in the sky, the air in the mountains was very cold Fresh, the only downside is that the weather is a bit cold.She looked up at the stars in the sky. It was late autumn and winter was coming soon.

The eldest brother sharpened the knife, and the father began to use the knife to cut up the wild pork, and the bones were picked out, and the meat was cut into long strips, so that it could be marinated and hung to dry.I have to say that this wild boar is really fat, and my father couldn't help suggesting: "Let's keep a few pieces of meat at home, and the rest will be sold in the town together with sweet potatoes?"

Qin Miao shook her head: "If you don't sell it, just keep it at home and eat it slowly. Anyway, the meat won't spoil if it's marinated and dried."

Qin Miao's words immediately got the support of second elder brother Qin Shaolian.There are five mouths in the family, and only a few pieces of pork are left to eat?This wild boar was hunted on the mountain and didn't cost money, so why can't it open its belly and eat as much as it wants?
Unexpectedly, the eldest brother Qin Shaoxian also agreed with Qin Miao's words: "Father and mother, it is better not to sell these meats. When the second brother and younger sister are growing, they should make more supplements. After the left and right sides are marinated, they will not spoil. Lose."

"I just said a word, you guys are just waiting for me with so many words, well, then I won't sell them, I will keep them at home, and I will satisfy your greed." Dad is easy to talk, so he agreed immediately. means three children.

Mrs. Li rolled up her sleeves and was busy marinating pork in the rough porcelain basin. She didn't speak, but she had a faint smile on her face.For some reason, she always felt that life at home would get better and better, and it wasn't that there was no hope at all as she thought before.

Qin Miao was small and couldn't help, so she quietly went back to the house while everyone was busy around the wild boar.After entering the space, all the vegetables on the open ground in the space have been removed, leaving the wheat and rice for trial planting.At this moment, the wheat and rice are ripe, and she harvests these crops.

It is found that every grain is full and the yield is very good.It can be seen that the grains in the space are very good.Thinking that in a few days the Susukida at home would be planted with wheat, Qin Miao went to the grain storage in the attic, found some wheat seeds, and replaced the half bag of wheat seeds hanging from the beams of the house.

After finishing these, I saw my parents and two elder brothers still busy in the yard.He didn't intend to go into the house to sleep for the time being, so he entered the space again and came to the grain depot to find the treasure.

There are two large piles of polished rice and fine noodles in the grain depot of the space. In addition, soybeans, mung beans, millet, corn kernels, cornmeal, sesame, peanuts, unthreshed rice, and wheat are also piled up separately. There is no polished rice and fine noodles. That's a lot.There are some small cloth bags in the corner, which contain seeds.

Qin Miao wanted to find some cotton seeds, winter was coming soon, the cotton clothes of the family were all worn out, they had to make new ones, there was no cotton.The cotton produced inside the space should be warmer and softer than the one outside.

When Qin Miao was looking for seeds, she discovered a strange thing, the bulk vegetable seeds that were not bagged, some of which she had used up before, seemed to be replenished automatically.Could it be that all the grain in the granary can be recovered automatically after consumption?Wouldn't it be inexhaustible?
