My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 338 Famous, Badgers and Tomb Raiders

   worked at Wang Lixian's house for two days, and waited until after the lively marriage of Sini'er.

   After three days, it was time to return home.

   is on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

  Early in the morning, the sound of mincing minced meat came from Wang Lixian's house.

  Today's homecoming banquet, I used the venison given by Chen Ling to chop stuffing and make venison dumplings.

  The weather is cold, and the meat is kept fresh for a long time. Everyone knows that when Si Nier returns home today, she makes venison dumplings, and relatives from Shili Baxiang also came early.

   When you go back to the door to banquet, eat meat dumplings, this standard is not low.

  Once you are willing to make dumplings, no matter what kind of meat, it means that the relatives and friends who come here have enough control, not worse than those who come to the banquet.

   The dumpling stuffing on this day is mainly made of sika deer meat. When Liu Yuzhi chopped the stuffing, he also cut a lot of chopped green onion inside.

   When making the minced meat, I did not add water directly as usual, but added the bone broth that Chen Ling brought to me, and mixed it into the minced meat several times.

  This bone soup is boiled on the bones of the two sika deer made by Chen Ling.

   It is said to be a frame of bones, but it cannot simply be no meat at all.

  The tick is not so clean.

   Meat, bones and bones, but after a long time of cooking, they all melted into the broth.

   So blended into the meat stuffing, after the dumplings are boiled, it is like a bite of a hot and fragrant oil soup, eating hot mouth and tongue, but no one is willing to put it down, they are all holding the bowl and burying their heads to eat.

   For a while, the yard was full of the sound of sucking the dumpling soup, all of them gushing out of breath and sweating all over.

   After eating, they all said that the venison dumplings are fragrant. I took a bite of the dumpling skin, sucked the soup inside, and the rest was a meatball.

   Eat into your mouth, and it's full of meat, that's a cool thing.

  Sini'er's husband was also extremely satisfied.

  Wang Lixian led him to Chen Ling and asked him to call someone: "This is your rich and noble uncle, and he gave the venison."

This kid is from Yangtougou. The people over there are basically surnamed Yang. This kid with the surname Yang has obviously heard of Chen Ling. When he walks up to him, he is more nervous than staying by Wang Lixian's old husband's side, fighting with both hands. Shivering, he also stuttered and called Uncle Fugui twice.

  Chen Ling thought he was cold and told him to drink some dumpling soup to warm up.

   He was drinking in the kitchen himself, and by the way, he served this kid a bowl.

   The dumpling soup made from this venison dumpling is not worse than the mutton soup. Drinking a bowl in winter will make your body especially warm.

Later in the afternoon, the boy took Sini'er back to Yangtougou, only to listen to Wang Lixian's sister Wang Lihui, saying: "Fugui, you did it, and Sini's son-in-law thought that our family was deliberately teasing. How can he make dumpling soup according to others?"

   The custom on their side is that the daughter-in-law will put something in the dumplings to trick the son-in-law at the homecoming banquet of the daughter, or when she returns to her parents’ home in the first year.

   and dumplings put coins, eating is almost a blessing.

   But this trickster might put something like chili peppers, and put a mark on it and put several at a time.

  Most sons-in-law are nervous and reserved at their mother-in-law’s house, and they don’t dare to make a sound when they eat. They often sweat profusely and pant heavily.

  When he was eating dumplings at noon, the boy was very nervous when he saw Chen Ling.

  Chen Ling said to let him drink dumpling soup and gave him a bowl, he was embarrassed to say no, and even made two big bowls.

   When I left, my stomach was still firm.

   Now hearing what Wang Lihui said, everyone could not stand upright with laughter.

  Chen Ling was also a little speechless, "Hey, this kid, just talk if you don't drink, it seems that you are still too restrained in my father-in-law's family."

Wang Lixian's eldest sister, Wang Lijuan, said, "Why are you being restrained by my father-in-law, and Sini's son-in-law is shivering only when he talks to you. Don't you know anything about yourself? It's a great skill to pass on you outside. Those who fight wolves and capture leopards are still so good at making money, and they drive cars every three to five.

   If you don't believe me, go outside and ask. Who doesn't know about Chen Wangzhuang and Chen Fugui?

   It’s just that many of you still don’t know what you look like, and your reputation is already out there.

   Our county magistrate in Lingyun may not know what it is called, but Chen Fugui from Chenwangzhuang can really say one, two or three if you ask anyone..."

   He was stunned when he heard Chen Ling, thinking that he was talking about him? So exaggerated?

  Wang Susu was also surprised for a moment, but thinking that the people who were far away all came from the farm with dogs, she thought that maybe her husband was really famous now.

  The people who came here today are not outsiders. The relatives of Wang Lixian's family are also familiar with Chen Ling. Seeing his reaction, they all joked, "Isn't it pretending?"

   "Where are you pretending? I really don't know, and I don't go out very often, except that I spend a lot of time in the village or in the mountains, and besides, it's not a big deal..."

  Chen Ling spread out his hands: "In the future, we have more capable and rich people than there are fish in the reservoir."

   It will be 1997 soon, and there will be more and more local people who go out to earn money and become bosses.

  He is not lying.

   But now no one believes him, and of course no one thinks he is hypocritical.

   This has something to do with the fact that their young couple are usually low-key and approachable.

  I never felt like I was so, so I was superior to others.

So after everyone made a few jokes, some relatives who were far away caught him and asked, "Would you like to visit your farm? I've been here a few times, but I haven't been there. Haven't seen anything."

   "Go, there's nothing wrong with that, let's go now and have dinner at my house in the evening."

   Chen Ling waved his hand and got up to take them there.

   Everyone liked his openness, so they followed him to the farm one by one.

  Wang Lixian's family also joined in the fun.

   When we arrived at the farm, one by one, it was like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Looking east and west, I felt strange here, and there was another burst of admiration.

  A lot of people who have never been there, thought this farm was like a farm before coming here.

   I didn’t expect the building to be so beautiful.

   I used to think that Xiaoyanglou was so foreign and beautiful.

   As soon as I walked into the farm, I suddenly felt that the Xiaoyanglou was not very good.

   But let them brag, and they won't brag, just keep saying yes.

   turned around, and a group of women followed Wang Susu to the house to watch TV. A group of men still looked around and stood outside talking.

   "Fugui, the fish in this pond should be caught. I saw such a big one just now. You have good fish here. You can eat fish this New Year..."

   Wang Lixian said by the lotus pond.

   "Yeah, there are a lot of fish here. It's cold, and all the fish in the canal ran back to the pond. I also thought I'd go out and pickle some fish when I had time."

  Chen Ling has this plan. He has been cooking pickled fish at home for the past two days, and then discussed with Wang Lixian and others about buying fireworks and firecrackers.

  The old man, I have played gun battles since I was a child, from firecrackers to cannons and fireworks. I like to play this when I have nothing to do during the New Year. Those who open factories and make money also buy one car and one car. Every day, it is fun.

   "Speaking of this, the brigade in the village seems to want to buy fireworks too. It is said that the county allocated money to buy fireworks. Let people come to see them. We will have a temple fair here next year. Let everyone watch the fireworks and know about it."

  Chen Wangzhuang set up the temple fair. After watching the movie and the big play, we discussed the day.

   At that time, Chen Ling also went to stand and pomp, and also raised his hands to vote for a better life.

   was finally set on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month.

   This is also a coincidence, and it is together with the Qixi Festival.

   On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, it will rain in the local area, and next to this day, it may happen that the old turtle comes out.

   This is naturally wishful thinking.

   Those big guys in the reservoir couldn't get out. One was to see if Chen Ling would let them show up, and the other was to see that the giant sturgeon in the reservoir was restless.

  Anyway, when Chen Ling walked around the reservoir in the past two months, he didn't notice any movement from the big fish, because their reaction was very dull.

   "How far is it now from the eighth day of July next year, what about fireworks? It's better to have a dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival next year. This has not been done for two years in a row."

   "Well, it's good to set off fireworks anyway, but it's not good to be able to watch fireworks? Is it rich and noble?"

   "Haha, that's true."

   While chatting, although everyone knew that the village was going to set off fireworks this year, they still had to buy some for themselves, so they could play with them, so it was agreed that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, if there was time, they would go to Wangbacheng to buy them together.

   There used to be mines over there, so there are many such factories, and there are many types of fireworks and firecrackers, which are new things that they can't find in their county.

   is just the same. It is prone to accidents. Last year, a factory exploded, and they could feel the vibration here.

   Every time I talk about this, I have to take it out and talk about it.

   These people stayed at the farm until nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, and then left one after another. Chen Ling let them stay for dinner and no one really stayed. Many relatives said they would go home before dark.

   For the next two days, everyone had nothing to do, so they drove the tractor and went to Wangbacheng to buy some fireworks.

After buying   , Chen Ling plans to pick up some fish to marinate and fry some quail the next day.

   As a result, that night, the trap caught another grass deer.

  Although the grass deer is also a deer, but unlike the sika deer, most grass deer are solitary in winter, and both male and female like to live alone.

   is a wild deer that is not very easy to catch.

   But the meat quality is not bad. After Chen Ling killed it, he was not in a hurry to stew.

   The young couple made venison buns and steamed them in a large pot.

  This time, Heiwa and Xiaojin are all there, and two bald boys have also flown back in the past two days. There are two dogs and an eagle guarding. Chen Ling will set off some fireworks at night.

  So they handled the venison very casually, even in the early hours of the night, the smell of blood wafted out.

   "Uncle Fugui, Ida called you to dig out the badger..."

   At around nine o'clock in the morning, after Chen Ling and his wife got up, they just wrapped the venison buns and steamed them. Before they could eat it, Liu Nier came over.

   "It's really time for your baby to come, come, come in quickly, the venison buns that your aunt and I made early in the morning are delicious."

Chen Ling called Liu Ni'er into the kitchen, stuffed him with a big hot bun, and asked, "What badger are you digging for in winter, it's such a cold day, it's overcast these two days, it's probably snowing soon. Now, if the Badger is not in the nest, Cat Dong, can he still escape?"

   Badgers hibernate and disappear in winter.

Liu Nier took a bite of the bun, and he narrowed his eyes so sweetly, took another bite, stuffed his mouth full, and said, "I don't know who dug the vegetable garden in the east of my house. The badger’s den was dug in the hole, and Anda and I got up early to look at the shed, and when we saw the badger protruding from the hole, we quickly asked me to come and call you.”

   "Uncle Fugui, venison is delicious, so is badger meat. Can badger meat make dumplings?"

   "Badger meat can't make dumplings."

  Chen Ling shook his head, but he thought to himself, whoever digs holes in the vegetable garden is not the group of thieves who robbed the tomb again.
