Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 325 Provoking the Old One (Part [-])

Mu Ai moved the house and cabin out of the space, and Kong Xi and the others were busy packing up the carriages and horses, looking around the terrain.Xiao An likes the sun to be extremely warm, so she took a few maids to take the clothes that everyone changed to the lake to wash, and then spread them on the grass to dry.Seeing the fun, Xing'er also took some of her handkerchiefs and followed along to join in the fun.

Xia Lie, who finally woke up, happily took Dayu and Simba into the woods to hunt some wild animals and add vegetables, but Mu Ai didn't stop her, and said with a smile that she would cook it herself, which made people feel angry. Simba clamored to lead the wild boar back.Dabai and his wife were basking in the sun in front of the house, but he coaxed and dragged them into the woods together.

Mu Ai went back to her room and changed into a set of water-blue homely clothes and came out. She sat on the wooden porch in front of the door and drank tea. At the same time, she had snacks and tea with her little daughter who ran back, and discussed the evening menu by the way.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, everyone was busy in an orderly manner like camping as usual, and it seemed that no one took the coming questioner to heart.

The warm sun hanging obliquely in the west makes people feel lazy. Mu Ai looks at the lake surface reflected by the sun in the distance, which appears to be sparkling. On a whim, she pulls out the easel from the space and guides her little daughter to learn painting.

Xing'er is the most gifted in painting among the children. She has not been teaching them seriously in the past few years, but she is able to draw well, especially the characters and scenes are the best. Seeing it was like seeing it in person at the time.

Last year, their mother and daughter visited the Chu Mansion, and heard Mrs. Chu chatting that Yier missed her parents and siblings very much. She didn't care about it at the time. Draw the scene of children eating snacks with them.Mrs. Chu's kindness, and the cleverness and mischief of the Chu family's children are all vividly drawn.

Mu Ai was happy to see her for a while, so she sent someone to Mrs. Chu, and Mrs. Chu sent someone to Liancheng, but Yi'er fainted from crying. The doctor found out that it was the happy pulse that the Yang family had been looking forward to for two years.Now Xing'er has become a big hit in the Chu family. Mrs. Chu will send some food and clothing here from time to time. Occasionally they will go to Suiyuan for a short stay, and they will pick them up to live at home for two days. There is no hypocrisy. Full of genuine love.In Liancheng, if Yi'er brings things to the family, there will definitely be a lucky one.

Reciprocity is a gift, and Mu Ai occasionally takes a couple of children from the Chu family to stay at home. The children are easy to get to know each other. Liao Yun'er kicked the shuttlecock, and also had a great time playing rubber band jumping. For a while, the already close relationship between the two families became even better.

Just finished painting a picture of the lake and spring, the two mothers and daughters were talking and laughing, the hunter team that entered the forest came back, although they didn’t bring back a wild boar, but the harvest was very rich, five pheasants, four hares, after all, it’s not a high mountain Dangerous peaks, big wild animals are still rare.

Mu Ai praised a few words, and called the children to go in to change clothes and wash hands.Kong Xi took pheasants and hares to deal with them.Looking up, he saw Xia Lie standing aside with his arms around his shoulders, his eyes were a little playful, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master Xia, do you have something to say?"
Xia Lie shrugged his shoulders, "You don't seem to be worried at all, it is Tianyi School, which has been passed down for more than 200 years, with nine generations of disciples, one of the eight famous schools of the Four Great Schools, if they really forge an enmity with us, I am afraid that the road will not be peaceful in the future gone."

"What's wrong with the famous sect, isn't it unreasonable? If they really come to seek revenge, they will just spread the name for me, the Shadowless Needle, and this name may change everyone's face after hearing it." Mu Ai The tone was slightly teasing, and he dug out a jar of top-quality wine from the space without paying attention, and threw it at Xia Lie casually, "I will pay you a jar of good wine in advance, and I will have delicious food later."

Xia Lie took it steadily from a sideways position, lowered his head and sniffed at the mouth of the jar, and immediately saluted with a smile, "Mrs. Xie." Then he hugged the wine jar and shouted at Kong Xi and others who were setting a fire in the distance, "Brother Kong , Madam rewarded me with good wine, let's have a few bowls together later."

Kong Xi and Yan Li laughed and shouted, Mu Ai shook her head, looked up at the half-set sun, took Xiao An and others into the kitchen to prepare dinner, and gave some light dishes to Xifu and the others.

Then he dug out the seasonings in the space, carefully selected a few, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to cook the wild game by himself.

On the long table, the pheasants and hares have been stripped of their fur and placed naked on a large white disk.

Take out three pheasants, use soy sauce cooking wine and salt, spread evenly on the inside and outside, put aside to marinate.Instruct Xiaoan to clean a small iron pot and put it on a high fire, add lard and heat it until it is [-]% hot, add chopped green onion and ginger and sauté until fragrant, then fry the chopped lean pork, shrimp, and shiitake mushrooms in the pot separately. Put it in a bowl and divide it into three parts, then stuff it into the chicken belly, and tie it with embroidery thread.

Finally, I took out three large lotus leaves that were originally stored in the space for making lotus leaf rice for the children, wrapped the chicken, and tied it tightly with fine hemp rope.

Xiaoan looked at the lotus leaf buns, his eyes were full of surprise, Xifu and the others beside him were also smiling while chopping vegetables while looking back, almost cutting their fingers several times.

Mu Ai clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Xiao An took out these three chickens and told Wuhu Sihai to go to the lake to dig some mud and wrap them into mud balls, then throw them into the fire and burn them. Don't forget to turn them over occasionally."

Xiyuan exclaimed, "Ma'am, the mud is so dirty, can I still eat it?" Although Xifu and the others didn't make a sound, they also grinned in surprise.

"You don't have to eat it if you think it's dirty, but don't regret it when the time comes." Mu Ai laughed and brought another two chickens.

Xiao An smiled and said, "I don't think it's dirty, I want to eat it. My wife made a lot of weird things before, but they all taste delicious." After speaking, she took the tray and went out to find someone to wrap the mud balls.

Xiyuan hurriedly shouted, "Ah, I want to eat too, and I don't think it's dirty." It made Xifu and the others laugh.

Muai called Xifu to find two of the largest casserole pots in the cupboard, then peeled a few raw chestnuts and garlic, mixed with half a bowl of glutinous rice, stuffed them into the chicken belly, tied them tightly with a thin thread, and put them in the casserole pots separately In it, add a lot of spring water and a few jujubes.Finally, I chose the smallest wild ginseng in the space, threw half of each pot, put it on the stove, boiled it for a quarter of an hour, and then simmered it slowly.

The few remaining rabbits simply didn't do any tricks. They were all cut into mahjong-sized pieces, boiled in a pot of clean water, and then taken out to rinse off the blood foam.

Put the oil in a large iron pot and heat it up, put the rabbit meat into it and fry it dry, add cooking wine, soy sauce, refined salt, green onion and ginger, sugar, star anise and spring water soaked in flat meat, bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam and cover the pot Cover, and simmer over low heat until the rabbit meat is cooked, then collect the juice on high heat, and then sprinkle some minced green garlic and pepper noodles.

While filling the big blue and white bowl with rabbit meat, Xifu joked, "It tastes so delicious. Wherever we camp in the future, the rabbits will suffer."

Xi Yuan stretched her head and looked out the glass window, and said, "There are still pheasants, I don't know if Brother Wuhu and the others can cook them well, but don't burn them into black charcoal."

Mu Ai added salt to the two casserole pots, and then, wearing thick cotton gloves with both hands, carried them from the stove to the tray, which made Xiao An come over in a hurry, "Ma'am, be careful, I'll carry them."

"You are not as strong as I am. Go out and order the table and lanterns to be placed, and then call two people to come in and take out this big casserole."

Xiao An responded, opened the door and ran out through the hall, and shouted at the people around the fire who were watching the novelty, "Madam ordered the table to be set up and the lanterns to be set up. If Master Yan and Master Lu are not busy, they can help you." Get the casserole."

Everyone cheerfully agreed, and began to move tables, brackets, hang lanterns, and get busy.

When Mu Ai washed her hands and came out after changing into clean clothes, the two long tables were already filled with all kinds of delicacies, and everyone stood by the tables to greet each other.

Simba ran up, pointed to the fire with a smile and said, "Mom, Wuhu said that chickens were wrapped in those mud balls, is that true?"

"Of course it's true." Mu Ai smiled and patted the corner of his youngest son's clothes that were stained with firewood, called all over the world to push some mud balls from the fire to one side to cool down, and then ordered everyone to sit down and eat.

A few maids have been at the table with the master since they left the house, so it is convenient for them to take care of the dishes and serve meals. The remaining Xia Lie and Kong Xi are at the table for nine people, of course it is also convenient for them to get together to drink and chat.

The casserole has been kept warm for a long time, and it is almost half a stick of incense when it comes out, and there is still a gurgling sound inside.

Mu Ai stroked her temples, glanced at the nearby woods, and smiled at Xia Lie who was also looking over.

She waved her hand and took out the large glass bottle floating in the pond water. It contained the ginseng wine that she had soaked with a 500-year-old mountain ginseng last year. Turned into a golden yellow sticky shape.Xiao Xiao poured out a cup, then signaled Xiao An to open the lid of the casserole, raised her hand and poured the ginseng wine, immediately a refreshing ginseng fragrance rose up, causing everyone to sniff.

Mu Ai poured another glass and asked Xiao An to send it to another table, took the bottle and said, "It was rainy and humid a few days ago, everyone should drink a bowl of ginseng chicken soup to get rid of the cold, be careful to leave the root of the disease, and suffer from old age .”

Everyone felt as if they were filled with hot charcoal, and they were so hot that they wanted to shed tears. They could all see the one-foot-long giant ginseng in the bottle just now, it was simply the most precious treasure in the world.And my master actually used such precious ginseng wine to cook for them, just because they were on their way in a drizzle, afraid that they would stay damp...

Kong Xi took the lead and stood up to salute, thanking, "Thank you Madam for your generous reward."

Mu Ai waved her hand indifferently, "When you're away from home, there are so many rules. Just drink the soup. It won't taste good when it gets cold. There is still some glutinous rice in the chicken belly. It tastes great when you pour it into the soup."

Everyone also knew that their master didn't like these rules, so they sat down again and began to eat meat and soup in a lively manner.

Mu Ai poured half a bowl of soup for each of the three children with her own hands, "You are young, half a bowl is enough, if you make up too much, you will easily get nosebleeds."

Simba finished the soup in a few sips, feeling a little unsatisfied, so he ran to the side of the three mud balls to test the temperature and said, "Mom, these mud balls are cold."
