On the correct posture for farming in the last days

Chapter 42
"Uncle, I will also farm next year." Zhou Ning said.

He generally speaks little and rarely says anything.

"That's for sure, you must be labor." Zhou Zhigao smiled.

After the family ate, they went to clean up the old house.

There are all the furniture here, and there is no shortage of quilts at home. It happens that there is a lot of charcoal piled up here, which is just right.

It's not small here. Thinking about it, it was built when the old man was still alive. It was the old lady who lived in the old man and had two sons, and it is estimated that both sons got married here.

However, this house does not have a west room, it is the size of a courtyard, but without a west room, the yard would be even bigger.

Before, I asked Zhou Zhijuan's family to pull away a flat cart, which was an old one, but now there is a newer one in the gate of the yard.

It's still big, and it can be used in the spring.

Most of Zhou Zhigao's previous household furniture is still there, as are the pots and stoves.

After burning the kang, lighting the fire again, checking the roof and so on, there is basically no problem.

Soon the room warmed up.

Both Lord Wednesday and Grandma Wednesday came to see them, and soon, Wang Qin boiled water and cleaned the house.

Liu Ya mother and daughter help.

"It's good to be back, let's go in spring." Grandma said on Wednesday.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to live there for that long." Wang Qin sighed, "It's a huge stall."

"Whether the weather is good or not, drive to get some back, and leave the house alone. Can it be more important than people?" Grandma said on Wednesday.

Wang Qin didn't speak for a while, it was true.

Looking at the living conditions of the elders last night, it is indeed more comfortable in the village.

It's just something to consider.

It's almost cleaned up, and I'm cooking here today. Of course, his family doesn't have enough food.

It definitely needs Zhou Zhigao to give it.

Soon Zhou Zhiqiang and his family settled down.

Ma Fen was still behind: "Or let the boy live in my house, it's not good to live on the same kang." After all, the old house did not have the luxury to burn two rooms.

"No, he can sleep in the back room, and this house has a back room. If it doesn't work, just burn two stoves. There is no shortage of charcoal." Zhou Zhiqiang was not polite to his brother.

He would be embarrassed if he went to live at his brother's house, but his son could eat it.

It would be nice to have one to eat at my brother's house, but it would be inappropriate to go to another one.

He has already figured it out. When it is warmer, he will ask his niece to drive into the city, and pull back what needs to be done first.In case the coming year is better, go back again.

If the spring is not good.If you can't farm, it's better to stay in the village and be safer.

After all, it is impossible to send them home while they are waiting to receive relief in the city. Their family is ordinary people, and there is nothing they can do when they encounter people who rob things.

I ate dumplings here, of course, most of the ingredients were brought by Liu Ya's family.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, although the village will definitely not be able to hold a lot of fun this year, but there are still many people who should steam steamed buns and make New Year's goods.

The village chief made the decision again, and the family shared a bag of flour and other things.

Before there was no one in the house, some of the food from those people was confiscated, but some of them were not good for long-term storage, such as meat, potatoes and radishes, which were distributed to everyone.

Just in time for Chinese New Year.

Liu Ya's family is making meatballs. The locally made radish meatballs are made by rubbing white radish into shreds with a grater, boiling them in super hot water, then taking them out, wrapping them in gauze and wringing out the water. Be sure to wring them out.Then mince.

The reason for blanching is to get rid of the pungent taste of radish.

But the blanched water is a good thing. I can drink a bowl of it since I was a child. It is spicy, and with a little brown sugar, it is very exciting.

The meat is minced, mixed with a certain proportion of potato powder, and various seasonings, and then mixed with chopped radish.After mixing well, knead into small balls.

Put on a plate and bring to the top.

Then open a big pot to steam. Of course, if there are meatballs, there will be steamed meat.

Local steamed meat is made with meat mixed with starch and mashed potatoes or turnips.

Pour the batter into a deeper plate or bowl, smooth it out, and steam it together.

At least an hour.

After it comes out of the pot, the steamed meat is pressed hard through a layer of plastic cloth.

The steamed meat just out of the pot is soft and can be eaten directly with a spoon. It mainly depends on how much seasoning you put in. As long as the proportion is good, it will be delicious when eaten this way.

But it’s just such a meal, and it won’t taste like this when it’s steamed later.

Zhou Zhigao made a casserole dish on the stove.

At the bottom is soybean sprouts, on top is a layer of cabbage, and then there is a layer of pork belly, which is cooked in large pieces, but not yet cooked.Must be the layered pork belly.Drizzle more soy sauce, sprinkle with salt and seasonings.

On top is potato vermicelli, and on top is a layer of white tofu, but there is no white tofu at this time, so this step is omitted.

If the meatballs are frozen at this time, they should be put in, but don't worry if they are just out of the pan.

When the dishes are almost ready, put the balls in and sprinkle some seasonings on top.

The casserole is simmering on low heat, bubbling and bubbling. If there is tofu at this time, it should start to vibrate slowly.

But it's also delicious.

When the stew was ready, the last pot of steamed meat came out.

Just cut it in the bowl with a knife while it's hot, piece by piece.

This thing can be cut into very thin slices after it is cold, and then it will be delicious with seasoning water.

Xiao Chen was hungry, he watched eagerly, he had never eaten this before.

Zhou Jing cleverly handed over a pair of chopsticks: "Brother-in-law, take a few bites first."

Xiao Chen couldn't care less about being polite, so he really picked up a piece of steamed meat, and praised: "Mmm, it's delicious."

Liu Ya pushed him to sit down, there are too many people in the family today, so he won't go to the kang.

It is eaten at the large dining table in the living room.

Soon everyone was on the table, of course, Xiao Chen didn't start eating, he just put down his chopsticks after eating a piece.

He still has no lack of etiquette.

But there were too many people, so I didn't rush to get up and carry things.

Soon the dishes were served, and everyone started to eat.

The two brothers were still drinking, and Xiao Chen and Zhou Ning took a sip with them.

Zhou Ning also raised his glass to drink alone with Xiao Chen: "Brother-in-law, I respect you."

Xiao Chen drank it with a smile, but he didn't like to drink alcohol, especially white wine.

It's still Erguotou, he said that he really liked the name.

So just eat something.

On the contrary, Ma Fen and Wang Qin also poured in, and the old sisters obviously wanted to drink.

The kids didn't like it anyway.

Each speaks their own words, and the children mainly eat.

I didn't cook rice for Xiao Chen today, Ma Fen looked at him: "Let's make do with it, I'll get you what you like tonight."

"It's okay, mom, you can drink. I'll just have a meal every few days." Xiao Chen laughed.

"What's wrong?" Wang Qin didn't understand.

"This kid is a serious southerner, and he can't get used to our diet. Other things are fine, he will feel uncomfortable if he can't eat rice." Ma Fen smiled and poured himself another sip of wine.

"Hey, he's here. You're talking about the people in the village. You used to talk about BJ in the past. How many children from Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou have gone out. How many have returned? Those who live by the sea don't know how it is."
