Chapter 49 - delicious harvest season (1)
When Song Zhi returned home at night, he detoured to the water room behind the kitchen to wash Xian’s muddy feet.
Tao Tao stood aside and asked him worriedly, “Has your wealth corrupted you?”
“no!”
Song Zhi smiled and said: “After all, he is still young, I think Li Cui’er is usually partial to the two older ones and ignores him, and he also has a good heart… I would like to call on him, if he himself Lazy, let’s pull him, but if we can’t pull him… then we’ll leave him alone, okay?”
“We?” Tao Tao sharply grasped the key words.
Song Zhi said “um”, “Let’s do it.”
Tao Tao hates the family of four.
but–
She sighed and muttered, “People are really complicated! It’s really hard to understand!”
In the past life, Taotao met few people. After accidentally falling into the world, she encountered evil people. Fortunately, she was picked up by the passing master… In addition, she had no good and evil herself, and she always felt that the people she met were either good or bad. It’s bad, such as those mortals who want to talk about her; or it’s good people, such as the masters and uncles in the sect, and those beautiful sisters and sisters!
Although the sisters and sisters were not very friendly to her at first, they were just jealous and envious. After getting along for a while, they were also very good to Taotao.
Now coming to the world, Taotao is not afraid of being poor or tired, she just feels—
People here are not as good as plants!
Plants are very kind, look at the grandpa ginkgo and the little grapes, they never take the initiative to attack, they never lie, they grow quietly, produce flowers, bear fruits, and provide animals and plants. Food and oxygen, always without complaint.
People are too complicated!
There are brothers like Nan Sheng, who were originally good people, but became ruthless in the harsh environment created by Chen Juxiang, good people turned bad, and they only knew how to use violence to overcome violence. There are people who are honest and honest like White Pearl, but they hurt people for the evil of one thought. Like Chen Lanfen, everyone has tried their best to help her, but she is someone who can’t stand up on her own. There is also a pure bad guy like Chen Juxiang!
Fortunately, there are still many kind and upright people like her parents in the world.
Song Zhi heard Tao Tao’s muttering.
He smiled, washed his feet, and his hands. After drying them with a towel, he patted Taotao’s head, “Humans are really complicated, so we have to… learn how to be human.”
——He had heard of it, and he knew that she used to be ignorant and ignorant, and it was only recently that she got better.
Song Zhi felt that he was equally unreasonable.
The indifference of his biological father, the chicken feathers in his adoptive parents’ house… all he wanted to escape. It was not until he came to Ruyi Village and lived in Taotao’s house for a while, and after seeing a lot of parents in the past six months, he felt that… Such a life rich in fireworks is the real world.
Far more splendid and more human than the place where he lived.
So when he saw the precious wealth that was in the quagmire, with good intentions but full of confusion, it was like seeing himself when he was a child, and he couldn’t help but say a few words about the precious wealth.
Taotao squinted her eyes halfway, enjoying Song zhi’s touch with satisfaction, feeling the comfort of the fragrance and aura, the little bit of unpleasantness in her heart suddenly disappeared!
Well, if you don’t make a fool of yourself, she can help him too.
Tao Tao said happily, “Song zhi, I made something delicious today, guess what… what is it?”
In fact, as soon as Song Zhi entered the yard, he could smell the rich aroma of fried pork dregs with dried plums and vegetables.
He thought for a while, “Fried red peppers with green peppers?”
The girls in the Bai family are so ingenious, they can cook the few kinds of vegetarian dishes in the vegetable garden with great taste.
——Green pepper and Xihong scorpion, one is domineering and cold, and the other is slightly sour and sweet. They are two kinds of ingredients that do not match.
The girls will fry the green peppers in the oil pan, add chopped red scorpion, mix with water and cook it into a paste, add minced garlic and salt to taste.
Such a simple dish, but the rice is top-notch. As soon as you enter it, you can feel the strong firework pot gas and the spiciness of the strong, after the spiciness is over, it is the extremely lingering sweet and sour, as well as the gentle and refreshing taste of sand. Mixed on sweet rice… Just this one dish, Song Zhi can eat a big bowl of rice!
Tao Tao, “No, change one!”
The girl’s sweet and charming voice was like a ripe peach, sweet enough to squeeze out the juice, so tired that Song Zhi’s brows stretched, but he couldn’t help wanting to tease her on purpose, “Then…it must be fried dried fish with perilla It’s gone!”
This is also a good dish for a meal.
The dried small fish is fished by Taotao and the red and soybeans to the river, and it is processed by pinching the head and tail, and then sun-dried and collected. From time to time, grab two large handfuls, soak them in water, pick two large handfuls of basil leaves from the vegetable garden, saute them with a little oil, and then add dried fish and fry until fragrant.
The dried small fish is very crispy, and when you chew it in the mouth, even the bones melt, and the special aroma of basil is especially delicious.
Tao Tao was a little anxious, “Oh, you’re so stupid! No, no, another one!”
Song zhi held back his smile, “I see, is it celery fried ginkgo fruit?”
Ginkgo fruit is slightly bitter. After blanching, it is fried with tender parsley. It has a very special soft and glutinous taste. Although it is not as stunning as fried red peppers with green peppers, it is not as good as fried fish with perilla, but the color is elegant and self-evident. There is a very calm taste, which Song Zhi likes.
Taotao got impatient, “No, no! I’m telling you… I burned the fungus tofu! You wash it quickly, I’m going to set the meal.”
With that said, she rushed to the kitchen.
Song Zhi smiled.
Fungus tofu is also his favorite dish. The old tofu is fried until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Then it is cooked with red fungus and black fungus. After the juice is collected, white tofu, red Western red soup, and black fungus are sprinkled on top. A little green onion…
Both delicious and eye-catching.
It’s just that only the thirteen uncles and the couple in the village can make tofu. Now that the farming is busy, Song Zhi feels that they may not have time to make tofu…
Thinking that he would be able to eat delicious fungus tofu later, Song Zhi was in a better mood, went back to the house to get a change of clothes, and went to the water room to take a bath.
When he came out after washing his hair, showering and changing his clothes, only to see Tao Tao and Xing Xing still busy in the kitchen?
“Still cooking now?” Song Zhi asked.
-Aren’t you ready to eat?
Tao Tao replied: “Second uncle is coming up for dinner, let’s add a dish! You go over to say hello first… We’ll be ready soon.”
Song Zhi went to the main room.
Sure enough, Uncle Bai came up.
Song Zhi greeted everyone.
The Bai family didn’t treat him as an outsider, and Tang Liren called him to sit on the kang and sit where he used to sit. Uncle Bai was a guest and sat on the chair in front of the kang bed.
The table is already full of dishes.
——Sure enough, there is a large pot of fried plum and dried vegetables with pork slag, a large pot of stewed tofu and fungus with soup and water, a salad of lettuce with shrimp and spicy sauce, and a large pot of dried shrimp and bamboo shoots.
Three dishes and one soup is actually quite good.
Maybe Tao Tao and the others went to add vegetables to entertain guests.
Second Uncle Bai was talking, and after saying hello to Song Zhi, he continued to say—
“…The third child is now married and divorced, and he has lost a child. With the work points he earned, it’s hard to say that he can eat meat every day. , there is no problem in raising him himself, and it is more than enough to raise one more Chen family. I guess Chen family knows that, so he desperately begged the third child and asked him to think about her life and support. “
“But Mrs. Chen never gave him a good look before. After the third child got married, she gave birth to four daughters in a row. Mrs. Chen called him for divorce, but he refused. Mrs. Chen never gave him a good face. He still beats and scolds those four girls every day. Doesn’t the third child feel bad for him? He also feels bad for him, but he just doesn’t care, doesn’t know how to…”
“…Now that the fourth child has made it clear that he does not want to support her and wants to send her back to Chen’s house, Chen scolded the fourth child for having no conscience. After she finished scolding her, she wanted to follow the third child again. She also refused to leave, saying She was born with the Bai family and died as a ghost of the Bai family. She wanted her to go back to the Chen family unless she died. The third child went to find a rope, threw it to her, and said, ‘You die now! The rope is for you, you hang it, We’ll send you back to the Chen family when you’re cold… You have the guts to say that you belong to the Bai family? I think you were born from the Chen family and died as a ghost from the Chen family, right?’ At that time, the Chen family fainted… “
While speaking, Tao Tao Xing Xing came over to serve.
Everyone looked closely, and there were two more dishes, a large plate of steamed meat rolls, a large bowl of scrambled duck eggs with spicy rings, and a large bowl of dried noodles.
Tang Liren was very satisfied, each gave Taotao Xingxing a look of approval, and warmly greeted everyone for dinner.
Second Uncle Bai stared at the large plate of steamed meat rolls, “This, this… is meat?” No way, if it was really meat, such a large plate would have to weigh at least four or five pounds!
Taotao pursed her lips and said with a smile: “On the outside layer is meat, and the inside is covered with fungus. I would like to thank the red bean and soybean for the fungus that I picked up on the mountain today!”
Red Bean Soya grinned.
“Sigu, we’ll go pick it up tomorrow! Today, we found a wild shepherd’s purse near the place where we picked up the fungus! It’s too late to stay here for too long. We will dig the shepherd’s purse tomorrow and come back… Sigu, how can I eat the shepherd’s purse? Huh?” Red Bean asked.
Soybean: “Dumpling-zi!”
Taotao smiled and said, “The tofu I bought today still has half a plate left. I’m immersed in the water. If you dig up the shepherd’s purse and come back, then we will eat the shepherd’s purse tofu dumplings tomorrow night, okay?”
Soybean was very happy and said loudly: “Okay!”
Tang Liren asked: “By the way, I want to ask, where did this tofu come from?”
Taotao replied: “The village chief said that everyone has worked hard, and asked Aunt Thirteen to bring everyone to make tofu. We took the dried soybeans at home and went back to exchange for a plate of tofu. Today we ate a small half plate and kept one. Most of it will be eaten tomorrow.”
Bai Lili, “It’s so troublesome to eat dumplings, you have to knead the noodles to wake up.”
Taotao, “Third sister, don’t wash clothes tomorrow, you knead the dough, Xingzi and I are washing clothes?!”
“Success!” Bai Lili replied.
Lili, “Okay, okay, I’m doing laundry the fastest!”
Tan Fenghui also said, “Tomorrow, during the lunch break at noon tomorrow, Taotao Xingxing and I will come back to make dumplings. Even if we can only rest for an hour, it should be about the same. “
Song Zhi couldn’t help but interjected, “When the autumn harvest is over, I’ll see if I can make a laundry tub. It shouldn’t be so troublesome to do laundry in the future.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Song Zhi in unison.
“What is a laundry tub?”
“Why is there a washing tub, so it’s not troublesome to do laundry?”
“The laundry tub can do the laundry by itself or what?”
“I heard that people in the city have washing machines! Is this washing machine the same as a washing tub?”
“But there is no electricity in our village, can I use the washing machine?”
Song Zhi smiled, “When it is made in the future, everyone will know.”
At this time, everyone took turns to prepare meals——
However, red beans and soybeans are children, and they prefer to eat noodles with soup and water, so they are clamoring for noodles instead of rice.
Seeing that everyone was holding the bowls filled with rice and noodles in their hands, Bai Zheng picked up his chopsticks and shouted, “Rice!”
In an instant, seven or eight pairs of chopsticks pointed to the large plate of steamed pork rolls.
Song Zhi also took one.
Pork belly, which he and Tao Tao brought back from the city last time. Because she was afraid of bad things, Tang Liren marinated this piece of pork belly with salt, so that… the pork belly still has the fat, moist and sweet aroma of fresh pigs, and the weak ham is salty and salty.
The pork belly is very thinly sliced. Although it is a long strip, it is actually not much. The fresh and tender oyster mushroom meat is rolled in the middle.
Everyone has been tired for a whole day, and now they are holding a bowl and eating happily, it is so comfortable!
After a quarter of an hour, everyone was full of food and soup.
Second Uncle Bai is bringing back the old things.
This is also the reason why he came to eat today – tell his brother and sister-in-law about Chen Juxiang.
“…Chen passed out, but who knows whether she is really faint or fake! When we were in the village committee in the morning, wasn’t she fake! Maybe she thought she was faint, and the third and fourth wouldn’t. Let’s talk about sending her back to Chen’s house! The third and fourth didn’t care about her. They found two bamboo poles, tied a sheet, and carried the Chen family. They went to Chen without having lunch. Family……”
“After finishing work just now, I went to the ancestral house to take a look. The third and fourth have come back! Both of them were injured, and they should have had trouble with the Chen family… Sister-in-law, please get a Tong Ye packed up these leftovers, and I took it to the third and fourth to eat, I’m afraid they won’t have to eat yet!”
Second Uncle Bai also said that when he saw that there was a little rice left on the table.
Tang Liren was irritated, “You don’t know if you want to eat rice earlier! It’s also delicious to save it before the meal. Now the meal is almost finished… Xingzi, go and pick a few tung leaves!”
Tao Tao Xing Xing ran outside the yard, picked a few huge and complete tung leaves, took them home, washed them with water, and sent them to the main room. Tang Liren divided the rest of the rice and vegetables into two halves and placed them in separate stacks. On the two large tung leaves, they were wrapped and tied with straw ropes.
Uncle Bai continued: “…I see that they have injuries on their bodies, and they are not in good spirits. Their eyes are swollen like walnuts, and they seem to be crying a lot, so I asked the fourth child, where is it? What do you mean, the fourth child said that the Chen family didn’t recognize him at all, because Chen Daxiong and Chen Erxiong (Chen Juxiang’s elder brother) died early, and Chen Sanxiong was still alive. But Chen Sanxiong kept silent and ignored the Chen family…”
“Later Chen Dahu (Chen Daniu’s father) came back after hearing the news, and he didn’t accept Chen’s life or death. The third and fourth fought with them, and both sides were hooked! The third and fourth may be even more powerful. When the house was smashed and people were injured, he came back. Mrs. Chen wanted to run back with the two of them. Didn’t come back with them.”
Bai Zhenggan said, “Do your own sin, you can’t live.”
Uncle Bai asked again, “Brother, do you really want to eliminate the third and fourth from the clan?”
Bai Zhenggan glanced at Tang Liren and said to the second child, “I discussed it with your sister-in-law, the Chen family is the Chen family, and the brother is the brother…Chen family wants to do bad things, but the brothers don’t. , it’s not necessary, after all, they didn’t make any big mistakes, let’s talk about it later!”
Uncle Bai breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, “Brother and sister-in-law, then I… I went to tell the third and the fourth. When I came, the third told me that he didn’t have a son, and if he was expelled, he would In the future, I don’t know what to do when I get old. The fourth child is also worried about this problem… Said that he raised three sons, all of whom are retired, and he will definitely be unreliable in the future… Okay, I’m leaving!”
After all, he left with two packets of Tong Ye rice.
Tao Tao Xing Xing went to collect the bowls, and Tang Liren asked Song Zhi, “I think you brought your precious wealth to work today? How is he?”
Song Zhi replied: “It’s good, he’s doing a good job, and the old master gave him three divisions of labor, and he has all collected on time. He told me that he wants to try five divisions of labor tomorrow…”
Tang Liren was a little relieved, “That’s a bit of progress!”
Bai Zhenggan said: “He’s still young, don’t let him do 5 divisions of labor, it’s not enough to damage his body at a young age, and he has to grow taller! Let him still do 3 divisions of labor tomorrow, he has already given him a full meal. Not bad.”
Song Zhi said, “If he wants to try it, let him try it. He has to know where his limits are.”
Tang Liren was very happy, “As long as you are willing to change and improve… this child will be saved!”
On the second day, Uncle Bai’s family all appeared in the production team neatly.
However, apart from Gui Cai being happy, Li Cuier’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, Fu Gui’er’s face had a very clear print of the sole of the red liberation shoes, and Fu Gui’er’s eye socket was blue…
Li Cuier didn’t dare to look up, but Fu Gui’er and Fu Gui’er glared at Fourth Uncle Bai angrily.
Uncle Bai showed a look even more cruel than them, and the two of them lowered their heads unwillingly.
Gui Cai ran to look for the old man, “Grandpa Shiba today, you give me a field with 5 divisions of labor!”
Old-fashioned, “What? You are an eight-year-old baby, you have to do 5 divisions of labor? That’s not good, you still have to grow!”
“No, no! Yesterday’s 3 division of labor, I did my work too lightly! Today I must try 5 division of labor!” Gui Cai shouted.
“No, you can talk about it later!”
Gui Cai pointed at Zhou Xiaoni unhappily, “Then why can she do 5 divisions of labor?”
The old-fashioned hasn’t answered yet–
Zhou Xiaoni glared at Gui Cai, “I’m thirteen, are you ten?”
Not to be outdone, Gui Cai said, “I’m eight years old, but I weigh one hundred and twenty pounds. How many pounds are you?”
Zhou Xiaoni: …
Fourth Uncle Bai spoke, “Uncle Eighteen, you should give the baby a 5-part division of labor. If it doesn’t work, you will return to the 3-part division of labor tomorrow.”
“Get it!”
Fourth Uncle Bai said again: “…then give Fu Gui’er and Fu Gui’er five fields each!”
The old man looked at Fu Gui’er and Fu Gui’er’s figures, “They can do 12 divisions of labor!”
Fourth Uncle Bai smiled bitterly, “Two wastes, let’s give each of them 5 divisions of labor!”
In this way, the family of four families all went to work.
Li Cuier wept and joined the team of women feeding the pigs and cooking.
However, she seemed quite reluctant.
When I asked her to cut and feed pig grass, her back and hands hurt for a while; I asked her to clean the pigsty, sweep the duck excrement, and pick the pig excrement and duck excrement into the vegetable garden for composting. She said dizziness, chest tightness, and nausea; She went to cook and wash vegetables, she said that she can’t that can’t…
Aunt Xiuhong, who was in charge, became angry, “Are you not good at anything? Or don’t want to do anything? If you really don’t want to do it, get out of here! I’ve never seen such a lazy daughter-in-law! It’s a shame that the fourth child married you. Eight lifetimes of mold!”
Then Li Cui’er quit again, akimbo and retorted, “You are talking nonsense! Hmph, I’m one of the few in the village who only have sons and not daughters, I’m a good husband!”
“Pooh!”
Aunt Xiuhong scolded: “The sons born are all rice buckets! If you can’t afford them, why do you have to give birth! Get out! We don’t welcome you here, and we won’t care about your meals at noon! You go home and eat wild vegetables by yourself. Go to the chaff!”
Li Cuier said stubbornly, “Don’t talk nonsense, our family’s food is very good! Otherwise, how can my three precious sons be supported so fat!”
At this time, the women in charge of cooking went to the warehouse to pick up the rice for today’s cooking, and carried several loads of rice in baskets…
Li Cuier’s eyes straightened, “Aunt Xiuhong! Is this, so much rice?”
“None of your business, you don’t work!”
Li Cui’er was anxious, “Well, then I’ll take some back!” As she said that, she reached out and wanted to grab the rice.
“If you dare to touch the rice, I will send you to the police station in the town right away! This is for the people who are working today, and you don’t have any work, so what qualifications do you have to take away the rice? You? Do you want to scoop up the collective wool? Do you want to steal the chicken or try to speculate?” Aunt Xiuhong asked sharply.
Li Cuier retracted her hand embarrassingly.
Just at this moment, Taotao came over with a bucket of oil…
When Xiuhong saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward to give her a hand, and asked with concern, “Why did you carry it alone? Where’s your Xingzi?”
Taotao panted and said, “Xingzi is behind, she is holding something heavier than me… Auntie don’t mind me, I will move over slowly. If you can spare a hand, give Xingzi a hand.”
Aunt Xiuhong really let go, and went behind to help Xingzi carry things.
Li Cui’er hurried forward, helped Taotao lift the bucket of oil, and asked, “Tao Tao, is this bucket of oil today’s weight?”
It’s so heavy, I’m afraid it weighs forty or fifty pounds!
Taotao glanced at Li Cui’er, “You think too much, today we will cook 460 people, and it is stipulated that only 20 catties of oil can be used at most, and we have to make three dishes and one soup! This oil will be weighed later, and I will have to cook it for 460 people. It’s back!”
Li Cuier’s eyes lit up – three dishes and one soup! And those women just brought in so much rice, it looks like they are not going to mix beans, could it be… is it white rice?
“Tao Tao, do people who go to work today eat all white rice?” Li Cuier asked again.
Taotao, “Yeah, but I don’t have your share! You should go home and lie down! Don’t tire you out.” As she spoke, she snatched the oil drum from Li Cui’er, staggering. Staggeringly carried the oil barrels and walked towards the temporary housing.
After a while, Aunt Xiuhong and Xing Xing struggled to carry a wooden rack that was as tall as a person and filled with tofu.
Li Cui’er suddenly smelled the strong tofu fragrance.
——My God, there is still tofu to eat! ! !
Li Cui’er immediately rushed up and grabbed Xiuhong’s hand, “Sister-in-law, I can do it! I can do anything, you let me stay… If you have one more person for lunch, count me… “
“You let it go!” Aunt Xiuhong was scolded in anger, “Don’t touch me, if you collapse this tofu to the ground, I can’t spare you!”
Li Cuier was so frightened that she stepped back several steps.
Xiuhong helped transport the tofu into the kitchen, and then ordered Li Cuier to go in and help wash the vegetables.
Li Cui’er was washing vegetables when she suddenly saw a group of daughters-in-law surrounded Tao Tao, wondering what they were saying?
She pointed to Taotao and said to Xiuhong, “Sister-in-law, why don’t they work?”
Xiuhong frowned and scolded: “The chefs are discussing what to cook at the moment! Li Cui’er, do your own work, okay? Look at others all day long! Let you wash Cai, look at what you grinded by foreign craftsmen… They have washed several pots, and you are still grinding here!”
Li Cui’er touched her nose and mumbled unhappily, “It’s not good to ask? Hmph, why don’t you ask me about this, I’m the best at commanding… It’s better to stop cooking and give everyone money, According to the head of the whole village…”
Xiu Hong gave Li Cui’er a white look and didn’t bother to pay attention to her.
And Tao Tao on the other side was indeed discussing the dishes with several aunts and sisters-in-law.
Tao Tao said: “Today’s main dish is braised duck with perilla Return the tofu to the pot, stir-fry it with garlic leaves, and then add dried shrimp and braised winter melon, and the three dishes are complete. The soup is made of pumpkin soup, just add some salt. The main thing is to cook the pumpkin, press mud, and stir well. The soup will be thicker and the taste will be delicious!”
Of course, other daughters-in-law also proposed other dishes based on today’s ingredients.
The guys discussed it for a while, and thought that peach and peach would be the best match.
But it’s-
A daughter-in-law said, “The dried shrimp braised winter melon…but we don’t have dried shrimp!”
Tao Tao said: “We have dried shrimp in our family, but we also worked hard to fish the red beans in the small river and saved it for a whole year. If the aunts and sisters-in-law agree, then our family will take a pound of dried shrimp and exchange it for another one. Ducks. But if it’s not suitable, then our family will produce a pound of shrimp and dry it, it doesn’t matter.”
This is called retreating as advancing, and people will not allow such a thing to happen.
Sure enough, the chef’s aunt Yuejuan clapped the board, “Then I will give you a duck. After all, it is a catty of shrimp, at least four catties of fresh small river shrimp! One of the ducks on our production team is also It only weighs two pounds!”
Taotao pursed her lips and smiled, and hurriedly called for the red beans to come over, let him bring a duck back, and then go home and bring a pound of dried shrimp over.
In this way, the people who went to work this day ate a rare meat dish: Braised Duck with Perilla. The duck meat is definitely not enough, so I also mixed half of the taro sticks. The taste of the taro stick is a bit like yuba. It is soft and highly absorbent. It is full of the delicious soup of the braised duck. When you bite it down, it is almost like eating duck meat!
In addition, fried tofu with garlic leaves is also delicious! The oily fried tofu is very tasty, it is really fragrant! Braised wax gourd with dried shrimp is also delicious, mainly because the villagers don’t usually do this, and they are often used to make soup, or stewed directly… After adding dried shrimp, the wax melon has a very unique salty aroma, which is really delicious.
After the meal, have a bowl of thick pumpkin soup like a soup. The taste is soft and salty with a little natural sweetness.
And the provider of the recipe, Tao Tao, also changed to a fat duck, which is also very happy.
What’s even more gratifying is that the duck laid an egg as soon as it entered the house…
Hongdou couldn’t bear it anymore, hugged the duck and begged Taotao, “Si Gu, don’t kill the duck, let it lay eggs, and play with me and soybean!”
——Because this duck was exchanged for the shrimps she and soybeans caught!
There is nothing wrong with Tao Tao.
That night, Tao Tao’s dinner was: shepherd’s purse, minced meat and tofu dumplings, with shepherd’s purse soup and duck egg soup.
Although it is very simple, it takes a lot of work, and the dumplings are particularly delicious.
——The tofu was cooked by Tao Tao and the others when they came back at noon with bacon and dried shrimp. The tofu had already tasted good and could be used for cooling; the soup was reserved for cooking the shepherd’s purse soup at night.
When I came back in the evening, the tofu was already cold, so it was crushed into pieces. The shepherd’s purse, which had been blanched in water and marinated in salt, was cut into pieces, and the tofu was squeezed together with the tofu as a stuffing, and then wrapped into dumplings.
The chubby, plump dumplings are eaten in the mouth, and although they are plain stuffed, they still taste very delicious.
With a bowl of hot shepherd’s purse soup…
It’s really comfortable on this cool autumn night!
The family talked about the situation of the four-bedroom family going to work today.
Tang Liren said, “Fu Gui’er and Fu Gui’er can’t do it! If they were asked to work, they would be foreign workers. No matter how much they shouted, they would not listen. It was tied to a tree with a rope. When the village delivers the meal… oh, the meal at noon today… so good!”
She turned her head and asked Taotao, “Peach, is it the menu you tinkered with?”
Tao Tao nodded proudly, “Is it good for me?”
Tang Liren, “I told your third sister at the time, it must be the meal arranged by Taotao! Why… In the past, the harvest was harvested every autumn, and the village also managed lunch every year. No other year has eaten as well as this year!”
Xing Xing couldn’t wait to ask, “Mom! Hurry up, what happens after Fourth Uncle ties Fu Gui’er and Fu Gui’er to the tree?”
When Tang Liren heard this, she laughed so hard that she couldn’t stand up.
Lili also smiled and replied: “Then they both saw that the food was open so well, their eyes were red! They shouted like slaughtering pigs, ‘Eat a bowl of rice, I promise to work hard in the afternoon’, and ‘Quickly I’m starving to death, so give me something to eat’, the fourth uncle just ignores them and only greets the wealthy to eat.”
“Gui Cai is also cheap. He will deliberately sit in front of Fu Gui’er and Fu Gui’er and show them bite by bite. He will say that the duck meat is delicious! He will say that the tofu is delicious, and the pumpkin is delicious. He also sipped the soup as if he was drinking chicken soup… so angry that Fu Gui’er and Fu Gui’er had green eyes.”
“After the food delivery person left, the fourth uncle released Fu Gui’er and Fu Gui’er. The two first chased after Gui Cai for two laps, and after being beaten by the fourth uncle, they went honestly. The rice is harvested. Today they are okay, they have finished the 5 divisions of labor. But it is… The village doesn’t care about dinner hahahahahaha…”
“They were so angry that they ran after Gui Cai again, and they couldn’t get angry if they didn’t fight! Later, the fourth uncle lied to them and said that if they wanted to eat the village food, they had to do the afternoon work the day before, and then the next day’s work. They work in the morning, and they can only eat at noon the next day, and the two of them foolishly believed it, and that’s it!”
Everyone burst out laughing.
Tang Liren asked Taotao again, “Where’s Li Cui’er? Are you still lazy today?”
Taotao said: “How can you not be lazy! But when I heard that I was eating duck today, I immediately got excited. At noon, she ate two big bowls of rice, and they all vomited… In the afternoon, she wanted to hang out. Xiu. Aunt Hong assigned her work, and told her not to come to dinner tomorrow if she didn’t finish her work, and she was too aggrieved, but when I saw it, I was still forced to do the work.”
The next morning, Uncle Bai came home in a hurry, knocked on the door looking for Tao Tao, and handed Tao Tao a dime?
Tao Tao’s eyes widened in surprise, “Fourth Uncle, what is this for?”
Uncle Bai was a little embarrassed, “Peach, it’s like this. Yesterday, I agreed with Fu Gui’er and Fu Gui’er that if they can complete the 12 divisions of work today, the village will praise the first time they got 12 work points. People, I will reward them with a fried egg, but I don’t have duck eggs there, so I’ll give you this dime, buy two duck eggs from your house, and bother you with fried eggs, and give them to them at lunch!”
Taotao held back her smile, “Okay! It’s just two duck eggs, no problem… Uncle, but I won’t accept the money!”
Fourth Uncle Bai, “Nonsense, brothers have to settle accounts… Hurry up! By the way, don’t let them know that I’ve been here!” After speaking, he put a dime in Tao Tao’s hand and hurried away.
Tang Liren asked in the yard, “Peach, what is your fourth uncle doing with you?”
Tao Tao said with a smile.
It made the whole family laugh.
On this day, the lunch of the production team is still a recipe designed by Taotao.
– The main course is roux fried eggplant and boiled chicken.
– It’s fried beans with celery and green peppers.
——There is another one is fresh corn kernels, edamame kernels, carrot kernels and green and red peppers stir-fried, named Wucai Ding, sweet, spicy and salty, very delicious.
Plus a chicken bone soup.
Of course, Tao Tao didn’t forget to fry two duck eggs, and told the whole story to the sisters-in-law who delivered the meals.
When the sisters-in-law heard it, they were naturally willing to help the panic.
As a result, when the daughters-in-law went to deliver meals that day, it caused another sensation.
The eggplant of the main dish is first boiled in salt water, cooled, then dipped in the batter and fried in the oil pan. Finally, the chicken and the fried eggplant are simmered together. The fried food is already heavy and delicious, and then mixed with chicken… Although the amount of chicken is small, it is still delicious!
The villagers are boiling!
In fact, yesterday and the day before yesterday, people in the village who did not work also heard that the food in the production team was very good. After eating the perilla duck yesterday, Min Yuan reached the climax.
So today, almost all the people in the village were dispatched…except for the old people who couldn’t move on the bed, and the dolls under the age of five or six who didn’t come.
In the village of more than 600 people, more than 570 people came to call in the morning!
Since they have signed up to eat, the village committee will manage the meals and distribute work points, and the villagers will have to work…
Seeing that today’s food is so good, the villagers are excited – I can’t wait to harvest every autumn!
Later, when the Taotao family had dinner, Tang Liren thought about it again and said with a smile: “At this rate, it is estimated that in two days, the millet will be finished! Go back and collect the cornfield, and this year’s task will be completed. !”
Bai Zhenggan also smiled, “If our village had such enthusiasm in the past, we would be able to reclaim more wasteland and have more food, so that our children and grandchildren could be fed a little more!”
The couple’s eyes fell on Taotao, and then they smiled at each other, and they thought in unison: I really didn’t expect everyone to be attracted by the recipes designed by Taotao, so that such a strong cohesion and centripetal force erupted!
In this way, in the next few days, the villagers will be able to eat a bite of the meals arranged by the village, no matter what kind of labor, as long as they hear about the management of meals, everyone will respond enthusiastically.
For a time, the men and women in the village were beaming with laughter, old and young laughing and laughing.
Every day before dawn, everyone hurried out the door and went to the village committee to report by name. The greetings turned into “How many jobs do you remember today” or “I don’t know what to eat at noon”…
But there was also bad news.
For example, Chen Juxiang, who was sent back to Chen’s house by the third and fourth Bai, heard that after staying at the Chen’s house for two or three days, she was hurriedly sent to the old widower in the next township. On the same day, the marriage certificate of Chen Juxiang and the old widower was ready. The Chen family also ran over to give wedding candy, but were beaten away by the fourth…
This news caught the Bai family off guard.
Chen Juxiang is already sixty years old, how could she still marry three times?
Later, I heard that it was the old widower who was willing to give fifty yuan as a dowry!
Therefore, the Chen family married Chen Juxiang for fifty dollars and to prevent Chen Juxiang from having free meals at home?
the crowd simply
