On the correct posture for farming in the last days

Chapter 4 Stewed Pork Ribs with Iron Rod Yam

The new house has three floors, and the first floor is reserved for two elderly people, who like to be grounded.

Liu Ya lived on the second floor.The third floor is temporarily used for storing things, and there is also a basement here, which is also used for storing things. The basement in the northwest is very dry and will not be wet.

Liu Ya simply asked the village workers to build a square shed with a roof with all the things she left behind from building a house, and they said it was for raising livestock.

But in the end it was all charcoal.

In September, we couldn't get through without a fire.

Liu Ya officially started to fire the boiler, and the third floor was not open for the occupants. The two floors alone were still warm.

The easternmost room on the first floor has good lighting, so it is natural for the old couple to live there.She lives in the upstairs room.

Hehe, the two live in the small room on the west side, and they are considered to have lived a good life.

After all, growing up is also a labor of the family, so I can't help feeling distressed.

After moving, it is reasonable to say that there should be a banquet, but there are too many things in the house, what Liu Ya means is not to have a big banquet, if you really want to, invite someone to the city to have a meal?
Dad waved his hand: "No one has time now, those who reclaim land, those who buy things, forget it."

"Okay, by the way, Dad, did you say that someone in Liangzi of the Han family wants to sell sheep?"

"Ah, your Fourth Uncle Han's house." Father Zhou nodded.

"Still buying sheep? Are you afraid of exhausting us both?" Mom became excited.

"It's not that you can't buy it. If the world is not good, you can buy a few." Father Zhou sighed: "It's just that I'm worried. Our family is very eye-catching now. The girl is a girl. If someone has evil intentions, we It's okay for you two to be old, what if something happened to the girl?"

Mom Ma Fen also sighed: "Then you say this girl listens to me?"

"Mom and Dad, if life is hard, can't we just make do with it? If you are worried, don't worry, I have learned Taekwondo. Besides, I am looking for a professional team for the house, and all the materials used are good. The house is very safe .It’s not that you have two dogs. Then you can’t live just because you’re worried about it, right?”

"You girl." Ma Fen could only sigh.

"You think the world is going to be chaotic?" Ma Fen asked her husband.

"It's hard to say. The earthquake didn't end there before. This tsunami flooded all the big cities and the wealthiest ones. Look at this month, how many grain collectors have come to the village? Now the corn What's the price? You've seen this price in half your life?"

Ma Fen shook his head, indeed, it is already ten times as high as before, but the more it is like this, the less people will sell it.

"Then what should we do!" Ma Fen was worried.

"Okay, I'm going to cook, mom, you can lie down. Don't get back hurt." Liu Ya got up.

Ma Fen slumped when carrying things yesterday. It wasn't serious, but he was still lying down.

Ma Fen didn't insist, and waved his hand in agreement.

Zhou Zhigao also got up: "I'll go to light the fire, our fire girl can't."

The couple likes the heated kang, so there is naturally a heated kang on the first floor, which is connected to a large stove.

The father and daughter got busy, and Liu Ya went to the south room to chop up a few ribs, and took two yams and two carrots.

Stuff the rice directly in the rice cooker.

In fact, people in Northwest China don't like to eat rice, but now there is no special statement about what not to eat in all parts of the country.So I sometimes eat at home.

Liu Ya first boiled the water and blanch the pork ribs. These are fresh pork ribs, pigs that were slaughtered the day before yesterday.It's too cold these days to put it in the south room and it will freeze.

Wear plastic gloves to peel the yam and cut into pieces.

Wash carrots and cut into pieces.

Then cut the onion, ginger, garlic and pepper, and control the water of the pork ribs after blanching. Wash the cauldron and add oil. When the oil is boiled, first throw in the pepper star anise, then the ginger slices, and fry for a while.

Then chili, onion and garlic are served together with the ribs.

Fry until golden, then add soy sauce.salt.

Add a little bit of sugar, cooking wine, and then throw in the carrots and fry for a while before pouring water.

Add yam at the end, otherwise the yam has a lot of starch and is easy to paste.

"Dad, a small fire will do." Liu Ya covered the pot.

Zhou Zhigao nodded, and covered the fire with ashes around the stove, and the fire became smaller.

Cover the pot and cook slowly. The willow sprouts washed two tomatoes and two cucumbers.

Today's tomatoes and cucumbers were planted by the old house, and they were picked in time for the winter, and the remaining tomatoes were not even red.

It was also this summer that she made hundreds of bottles of ketchup with her mother, otherwise I don't know what will happen next year.

Although I bought tomato seeds, I don't know if they can grow.

Liu Ya took out the electric pot and made a simple tomato and egg soup.

She also made jellyfish mixed with cucumber. She bought this jellyfish online and stocked up a lot.

Finally, she fried a plate of peanuts for her dad in the electric cooker.

She is very good at making peanuts, and she cooks them as soon as they don't change color. When they come out like this, she quickly sprinkles salt on them, and then chokes them with strong wine.

The remaining temperature after mixing just makes the peanuts have a burnt aroma. If it is too much, it will be mushy, and if it is too little, it will not be crispy.

Zhou Zhigao loves to eat her to make this.

The old man was already smiling.

Facing Ma Fen who was through the window, he said, "The peanuts you make are good."

"Do you want to drink?" Ma Fen snorted.

"Just drink, just drink less. My dad doesn't smoke or gamble, and he doesn't drink too much. What is this?" Liu Ya laughed.

"Girl's cooking is delicious, and the old man liked it back then." Zhou Zhigao got up and took the wine and laughed.

"The mutton made by her grandfather is delicious, but it's a pity that I can't eat it anymore. Hey." Ma Fen also got up and washed her hands.

"I'll do it myself later, there's nothing to eat." Zhou Zhigao smiled.

"The ribs will take a while, come on, girl, have a drink with Dad."

Liu Ya sighed and had no choice but to drink with her, but she didn't like baijiu, so she took out a bottle of Sprite.

Zhou Zhigao just laughed and didn't talk about her.

"Girl, then, this is our deposit." Zhou Zhigao took out the passbook from under the mat on the kang.

"Hey?" Ma Fen wanted to grab it, but Zhou Zhigao stopped him: "Why did you grab it?"

"What are you doing? During this time, this girl is about to lose her life. Are you going to lose her life? That's it?" Ma Fen was anxious.

"Sit and listen first, what's the rush?" Zhou Zhigao shook his head: "Look at the current prices, what's the use of money?"

"Why is it useless!"

"Mom, how much do you think it cost to pull two tons of charcoal from Grandpa's house last Wednesday?"

They moved yesterday, so of course they didn't know.

"How much?" Ma Fen raised his mind.

"Six thousand. Mom, that's ten times more." Liu Ya sighed.

"God, this is not letting people live." Ma Fen was petrified.

"I don't intend to spend your money, but it's really useless if you leave it alone."

"What are you talking about? The whole family is talking about this. You gave us most of the money in the past few years. You have to live up to it." Zhou Zhigao put down the passbook: "It's all spent, buy what you can."

"Old Zhou!" Ma Fen was still anxious.

"Listen to me, even if life gets better in the future, if my daughter goes back to the city, will she still be able to make money?"

　exist?Have a meal.
