The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1041 [1040] Heroines of the Republic of China 14 (six thousand)
In the past few days of learning to make tofu, An Yi brought the ingredients to cook together, because trying to make tofu will produce many finished products, some failed, some succeeded, she took away the failed ones and processed them, and kept them She eats it by herself, and if she succeeds, she takes it out and gives it to the people in the village to taste. She puts the excess bean dregs into the space, and there is no waste at all.

Since the beans were hers, she had the right to deal with them, and neither of them would say anything.

Even if she was curious about what she wanted so much bean dregs for, she didn't dare to ask. The two of them have learned nothing in their lives in the world over the years, so they learned to shut up.

It took about three or four days of learning to master the ratio. In An Yi's words, it can be sold.

Under her supervision, beans from the space were mixed in, so the taste of the finished product was really good, and no one said it was bad for the tofu that was sent out for tasting. I hope that the folks will be able to help some time.

Not everyone will receive tofu from their family, and who to send it to is all summed up by the two sisters over the years.

Only people who know how to be grateful and have a simple and gentle personality will receive their gifts. As for others, even their relatives, they are not eligible.

Of course, the branch secretary and accountant in the village also received it. These are all officials, so I dare not be vague.

"Hey, Qiuxia, when did you two get so close to that woman? Seeing how busy you are, you don't even bother to talk to us."

"That's right, your family is repairing the house, but you talk, you don't even say hello, the three girls just tidy up the house, it's good, it's just a little strange, isn't it?"

"You don't know, your mother always says that you have no heart, that you know how to make tofu but you don't give it to your mother's family, it's useless to love you all these years, and it's useless to raise you so much."

"When will you know how to make tofu? Is it possible that you will be able to make tofu after living in Liu Doufu's house? Or did you find some secret recipe in their house?"

"Quickly, tell my aunt secretly, did someone give you a dream? Tell you the secret recipe for making tofu?"

……

Making tofu is hard work, and it is also a technical job. Not everyone has the patience to do it well. If it is ordinary tofu, they would not ask such questions. It is because the taste of the tofu is better than the one they bought. feeling.

As long as the two of them go out or carry water, they will be stopped and asked.

It's easy to talk about dreaming, finding the secret recipe, etc., just say 'destroy the four olds' and dismiss it.

But when it comes to An Yi, they will be extremely vigilant, and they can't get past it by keeping silent, which proves their resistance.

"Ever since you moved into Liu Doufu's house, you've lived alone. You're as withdrawn as that An Yi. Let me tell you, this is not good, very bad. After a long time, the relationship between our neighbors has weakened. You say How come no one speaks about such a big matter as building a house in your family?"

Every time they encountered such a problem, Liu Caihua and Liu Caihua responded with a half-hearted smile.

"Auntie, when our house was being repaired, only An Yi came to help us. Neither of us begged or invited anyone, but only An Yi helped us with the repairs and bought us pots and pans. If we didn't If she helps, the house won't get up, and we won't start over."

"It's not that we don't say it, it's that we can't say it. If we leave home, we are just individuals, unmarried girls. Even a girl whose reputation has been ruined is still a girl. Anyone who speaks more than a few words in the village will be left behind." Back poking the spine, what are we doing with that? If you really have the heart, you don’t need to say anything at all and you will come.”

"That is, when we moved out of the house, everyone was watching jokes, only An Yi helped us sincerely. Don't say that she is alone, she just doesn't want to get in touch with too many people. After all, once in contact, it will be ironic and sarcasm Why? The two of us were rescued by her. It is normal for us to talk a few more words with her, live together, and get close. You guys should take time to care about your own life. worry."

……

Those who can get out like this are all gossips in the village, the kind of people that the three sisters don't care about, so they are not polite at all.

They posted it because they couldn't get anything out of it. There's no need to talk to people like this.

If you really want to help them, you don't need to ask at all, even if you come up to ask, they will be grateful.

Just like the tofu sent out, which one didn't come to ask them when they needed help?

It was because they didn't want to burden them, and thought they could do it slowly and well, so they didn't say that.

But when people come to care, it proves that they have the meaning of helping, whether it is sincere or genuine, at least the surface is in place, and that is enough.

How do you look like your own mother's family?
Hehe, they started scolding from the first night they moved in, and have been scolding until now, as long as they pass by, they scold at the same time. sentence.

"My old lady raised you so big for nothing, you should eat and wear, you want to treat us like this? You would rather give others than let your mother's family get the slightest benefit. If you have the ability, don't enter that house for the rest of your life!"

The two sisters left their own house and learned to make tofu right away. They were stimulated, especially when they saw that the renovated Liu Doufu's house was even better and bigger than their own. When the hall was bright, they were jealous. What's even more hateful is that the two daughters became more and more moist after they separated.

No one would feel comfortable with this. Isn't this a disguised irony that the family's life was not good?
People often throw feces at the door of An Yi's house. For this, she silently shovels it up and throws it into the ground as fertilizer. She never says anything, let alone swears by a shrew.

From her point of view, it was all typical of being jealous of her.

In the early 50s, the three provinces in Northeast China were very busy. They were busy opening farms and vigorously developing agriculture. Her village was only a little-known place in the Northeast. It would take twenty or thirty miles of land to go to the nearest town. You had to rely on two With one leg, it is possible to go until dark.

Now the village is talking about agricultural cooperatives. The surrounding villages are not like the mountains in the past, and the eighteen bends of the mountain road may not be accessible. Five or six villages in the vicinity are connected and not far apart. Cooperatives must belong to one society.

The era of cracking down on landlords is over, but there are still only a handful of families with cows and donkeys. She doesn't want to show off, so the cow can't be pulled out, so what kind of cart do they use to sell tofu?
Thirty to forty catties of tofu every day are not too heavy. She chose a shelf cart unique to the rural areas of southern Henan Province from the space. The top is a cart, and there is a bearing on the bottom that connects two wheels. The person carries a shoulder strap. Just pull it in front.

When she packed the car out, the two sisters were very pleasantly surprised: "My God, Sister An, are you really thoughtful?"

Li Qiuxia was a little embarrassed: "Actually, there are only [-] to [-] catties of tofu every day. We each carry a basket on our backs and walk around the streets, and we sell them out. Why do you need to spend a lot of time to get a rack cart? "

"Don't you have to exchange for food? It's much more convenient to have a car. Take it and use it. Now that you have left the teacher, you have to walk the next road by yourself, and I won't participate much."

We used to eat together because they had no food, couldn’t make ends meet, and needed to be taken care of. After a month or so of adaptation, they were building houses, growing vegetables, and learning to make tofu. They are not what they were a month ago. There is no hope for life, girls with depressed and hopeless faces. Now they are busy every day, with smiles of satisfaction and hope on their faces. With such a change, An Yi is very relieved to give back the life that originally belonged to them. two people.

"I'll arrange a home for you to help with, vegetables, food, and handicrafts. Don't want too much. When you turn around, you can give me [-] catties of food per person. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and sorghum are all fine, and shells are fine. I don't choose. But you have to give it, after all, it’s not easy for me to toss all these things by myself.”

"You guys use the rack cart, and bring me some tofu every now and then, and you can give me the extra bean dregs, and I'll pay for your tuition. Are you willing to do this?"

When the two sisters heard it, it meant that they planned to separate from them!

"Sister, if you want to be willing, it's just that you don't want to eat with us in the same pot?"

Anyi nodded: "You guys are busy with your work, I'm busy with mine, as long as we don't bother each other, far away smells like near stink, put them together, it's easy to cause conflicts, if you need help, just ask, you two just need to work harder and sell tofu Enough to support myself, just be careful when walking in the streets and alleys on weekdays, and pay attention to safety."

Although Li Qiuxia and Liu Caihua regretted it, they also knew in their hearts that it would be good for them to draw a clear line of boundaries, and brothers would still settle accounts clearly, let alone if they were not relatives for no reason?It is already great luck that people are willing to help them, and they should be content, so no matter what conditions she puts forward, they have to meet them.

In this way, after being together for a month, An Yi resumed her regular and comfortable old-age life in September when the autumn weather turned cool and clear.

The previous few decades were full of vigor and vitality, but the next few decades, I just wanted to be as comfortable as possible. In this era, the countryside is definitely better than the city.

In fact, based on her situation at the time, she could have a formal job if she made a lot of contributions. Even if she was assigned to be an ordinary worker in a food factory or a match factory, that would be a solid job, right?
Eh?
She did the opposite and chose the current life. Look, now she lives in a villa and raises pets. She eats and drinks. These days, there are so many beautiful things that she doesn't even trade for meat.

The two cows in the space, one male and one female, were adopted by her after the system was upgraded. They can be sold to the system to earn gold coins, or they can be dragged out and killed for meat.

It is only now that a small scalper has been bred, so it will definitely not work if it is killed and eaten. The work in the space does not require the cow to do it, and the living things outside the space cannot enter.

The chickens, ducks and geese in the space are also bred step by step after adoption. They can be killed for meat or sold for gold coins.

And the six hens that were carefully selected outside were fertilized eggs she sold in the village and hatched with space chickens. I just tried it, but I didn't expect it to be successful. Six out of ten eggs hatched. Coincidentally, they are all hens.

Now that the chick has grown up, she can harvest five or six eggs every day. The feed for the chicken is wheat bran, rice bran, and corn bran that have been shelled in space, mixed with rotten vegetables and leaves picked in the yard, sweet potato seedlings, chopped After being broken, it is very good to feed chickens.

The bean dregs were fed to pigs and cows, and the pig's family of three could eat them all, but she was a little bit reluctant, especially killing her parents in front of the pig, which was too cruel, so until now she had only eaten meat Chickens, ducks and geese, because there are more poultry and less livestock, so if there are more, there will be less psychological burden.

The time in the space is one to two compared with the outside world, so every day she can receive about twenty or thirty duck eggs, ten or twenty goose eggs, and thirty or forty eggs.

With so many eggs, she couldn't eat them all by herself, so she pickled salted duck eggs. She didn't like goose eggs, and there were eggs outside, so except for duck eggs, the others were sold into the space to earn gold coins.

The duck eggs she marinated with yellow mud are not very salty, super delicious, and there is room to store them. It really tastes more blissful than eggs.

The town is too far away, she does have bicycles in her space, there are about a dozen of them, but she is too lazy to ride them.

These bicycles are all saved from traveling in the northeast and west in the past few years. There are new and old ones, which are enough for her to ride for a lifetime.

Now that I don't lack money, I don't plan to go out and sell it. When I run out of money in the future, it's not too late to think about going out to make money.

Anyway, the space can slowly accumulate things, and she has nothing to do, just tossing the fields inside and outside the space every day is enough to be busy.

The crops in the field are about to be harvested in one month. The weather in the Northeast is much colder than that in the central part. After entering September, the feeling is particularly deep. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and it is only hot at noon.

The leaves also turn yellow at a rate visible to the naked eye.

When she was jogging in the morning in early September, she stopped by the river for a while, looking for a low-lying area with stones on the back of the mountain. She wanted to wash the nuts, but she found the "northeast crayfish" crayfish in the crevices of the rocks in the stream. ?
As we all know, crickets have very high requirements on water quality, which shows how good the water quality is in this era. She took out a frame she woven from corn husks from the space, and began to bend down to look for crickets in the stream.

Because crayfish must live in the crevices of stones with flowing water, its taste is much more delicious than that of crayfish that needs heavy oil and salt to cover up the fishy smell. There is a famous dish in Northeast China, 'cricket tofu soup', just think about it, she He began to swallow saliva between his lips and teeth.

The crayfish are red, while the crayfish are blue, and they are not big. Because of the slow growth rate, the size of the crayfish that can be eaten by ordinary farming in six or seven years, the price of this stuff has soared to hundreds of dollars in later generations One catty, because it is not easy to breed, so there is a price but no market, and you can't buy it at all.

Even in this mountain stream, it can't be seen everywhere. She bent down to search for two or three hours, and estimated that she could only touch less than five catties.

She didn't plan to share the rare five catties with others, she wanted to keep it for herself and eat it slowly.

There are still a lot of field snails and apple snails in the stream. Taking advantage of the water, she threw the two kinds of snails into a box and picked them at home. Humans couldn't eat apple snails, so they chopped them up and fed them to the chickens.

She also caught a lot of fish in the downstream river. When she was at the seaside, she also got a lot of fishing nets and fish baskets, but today the ingredients are quite abundant, so she didn’t continue to toss and hide the two baskets of ingredients in the space. , called Nut, and wandered back home.

From afar, I saw sisters Li Qiuxia and Liu Caihua who came back from selling tofu, and saw her waving fiercely.

Not long after, Li Qiuxia came running over with a basin, she thought it was leftover tofu for her, but she just needed tofu, but it turned out to be two squids?

"Sister, here you are. Today, someone caught fish from the river and exchanged ten catties of tofu for us. Their family is doing business and needs a lot of tofu. I think this fish is good, so I'll bring you two. We have more What, are you coming back from the river?"

The two gnats are not big, so they add up to two or three catties. I don’t know how many fish I exchanged for ten catties of tofu. I wanted to order some tofu, but it seems that they are sold out. Forget it, I won’t open this mouth, what are you waiting for? When the time is left, she will bring it up again.

"Yeah, it's time for Nut to take a bath. Taking advantage of the warmth at noon, I took it to the river to take a bath. Are you tired? Why don't you come to eat at my place at noon?"

"No need, sister, don't delay your rest, let's go home and make something casually. Today the tofu is all sold out, and five or six catties of fish, three catties of rice, five catties of potatoes, and a big pumpkin are left behind. Not too young, haha, then let's go back to Ang!"

The two sisters knew that An Yi's lunch break would not be affected even if the sky fell. She liked to be quiet, and the two of them were tired enough, so they didn't bother to be polite, and went back to their respective houses.

Without tofu, she might as well eat Ga Ya Zi at noon.

When I got home, I killed Ga Yazi first. This thing is not slippery. Although there are no fish scales, there is a yellow sticky protective film on the surface. She found some plant ash and rubbed it in her hands. It's almost time to start killing, kill and clean, and then marinate with scallion and ginger.

After that, I went to pick the snails, one basket for apple snails, one basket for field snails, and a dozen of apple snails were smashed with a hammer and thrown into the chicken coop.

The snails are put in a basin to spit out the silt. After spitting out the silt, they have to be brushed with a brush before being pickled.

She picked up a lot, enough for her to talk a lot.

After marinating Gayazi, stir-fry it with chili, miso, onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings, add water to stew, and put some cornmeal pancakes on the edge of the big iron pot. This is a typical Northeast iron pot stew, saving trouble It's delicious, two fish and four pancakes, full of satiety.

After I’m full, I wash it off after three or two strokes. Because there’s not much oil and water, it’s especially easy to clean up. The cleaner in this era is plant ash, which is not dirty. It’s very convenient to collect and do laundry. She doesn’t have time, so wait. It's empty, you can make some soap.

Wearing coarse clothes every day, sitting in the yard to wash and brush, weeding in the field with a hoe, facing the autumn wind, picking sesame leaves before harvest, blanching them and drying them in the sun, it is another delicacy in winter.

Because it was the harvest season, the clothes became thicker and thicker, so before it snowed, she kept going to the back mountain to collect firewood, and at night, she went to the space to sew and mend the washed clothes. Make your own padded coats and trousers.

A total of two sets were made, one set of new cotton and one set of old cotton. The covers on the bed were made of old cotton, but the quilts and quilts were all cleaned and dried several times, so they were very clean.

From late September to mid-October, the crops in the Northeast began to recycle.

The two sisters also came to help, and it took four afternoons for the two acres of land to take them home.

For example, corn stalks, soybean stalks, and sesame stalks can be used as firewood when dried.

The peanuts were harvested a month earlier, and the sweet potatoes and soybeans were the last to be harvested, and if they were not harvested, the land would be frozen.

The sweet potato flesh is taken home, and the sweet potato leaves and stems are kept for stir-frying. If they can’t finish eating, they are put in the space, and the sweet potato vines are chopped up and fed to the chickens.

The good land is left vacant like this. If it is placed in the Central Plains, wheat can be grown as soon as the corn is harvested. But the winter here is too cold, and winter wheat can't survive. It's minus [-] degrees. What can survive?Only Maodong is at home.

She harvested a hundred catties of soybeans, and the soybean leaves were still slightly green, so she plucked them out. Fortunately, the seeds had hardened, and it would be too late if they fell to the ground with a light touch.

The soybeans she harvested were not given to the sisters, because she waited for them to dry in the sun, saved them, and started making soy sauce and miso next spring.

Bringing the grain back home does not mean the end, it has to be processed again, such as connecting the husks of the ears of corn, building them up in the yard and stacking them for drying, tearing off the rain cloth outside when the weather is good, and covering them when the weather is bad.

Which of peanuts, soybeans, and sesame does not need to be dried?
She directly received the potatoes and sweet potatoes for storage, and the cellar was filled with radishes and cabbages from the backyard.

In October, she hurriedly processed those cabbages, made sour cabbage, spicy cabbage, dried radishes to make spicy radishes, and she saved a lot of pickle jars in her space, just to store these vegetables. When pickling vegetables, the sisters also came Help, after marinating, I took a large tank away.

Anyi marinated a total of three jars, one jar for the sisters, and two jars for herself, one jar of sour cabbage and one jar of spicy cabbage.

Dried radishes are pickled in small jars, a total of two small jars.

But her cellar has more than a dozen large and small vats. These are all kinds of dishes cooked in summer when there are many vegetables.

Such as hot and sour cowpea, pickled cucumber, chopped pepper sauce, tomato sauce, watermelon soybean paste, etc. In addition, there is a jar of wine. The grapes are wild grapes picked from the body. Wild grapes are sour, but a lot of sugar is spent in it .

Many persimmons were picked from the persimmon tree in Li Qiuxia’s house. After the persimmons are picked, they can be eaten slowly in the cellar. In winter, they can directly eat frozen persimmons and pears, because after October, the temperature starts to drop. It started to go below zero, and it would freeze naturally, very quickly.

As soon as winter came, the people in the village began to discuss going out to find work. Because the winter in Northeast China was too long, it was impossible to stay at home all the time, so they started looking for odd jobs everywhere, and some even wrote letters of introduction to go to other places. Part-time jobs, those who have skills in their hands are not afraid, but those who rely on selling their strength.

Although every family has stored enough food and vegetables before the winter, no one wants to sit at home and wait to die. If there is a chance to earn extra money, they will go for it. After all, from now until April next year Before, for half a year, Maodong!
　Regarding the inadequacy of Northeast's writing, please leave a message to tell me in time.

　　In addition, thanks again for a wave of blocking rewards, [Beautiful Tomorrow] [Orange] [End], thank you three, huh!
