Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

The renovation project of Mao Xi's Liu Family Courtyard was finally completed before the year, despite the scolding and various trouble-making from the old lady Zou.

The small slope in front of the door is also paved with stones to facilitate the entry and exit of donkey carts.

Mu Zhiyuan and Lu Da helped plant two persimmon trees next to the lemon tree outside the courtyard.

Lemons were growing all over the branches, and Xiaodouzi and Ajiao picked two big baskets full of them.

At noon, Mrs. Chen called Chunsheng and Aunt Shen to her home and set off firecrackers at the door. They all had dinner together and briefly celebrated.

Mao Xi bought twenty kilograms of yellow beef from the space, took some to make boiled beef, and the rest she would use to make beef balls in the afternoon.

Liuxiang Snacks was not open during the day today. Early in the morning, Mu Zhiyuan and Mao Xi went to the Savage Valley in the back mountain to feed the panda Huahua, and also picked a lot of Ganoderma lucidum, dendrobium and wild mushrooms to take home.

There was still some sausage left from the last time, so Mao Xi took two pieces and fried them with milky mushrooms to make a plate of wild mushroom fried sausage. Although the ingredients were simple, the farm-style cooking pot was full of flavor and went well with rice.

Before dinner started, the family's three native dogs were circling around the dining table.

Mrs. Chen poured some cooked dog food into a basin and fed them first. Dahuang lay aside wagging his tail, watching the preserved egg and Yuanbao fighting for food.

Ajiao was eating the brown sugar jujube cake sent by Aunt Shen and refused to eat. After a lot of coaxing, Ms. Chen called her back to the dining table.

Before lunch was finished, the old woman Zou, the neighbor at the side door on the slope, dragged Li Zheng to Mao Xi's house to make a noise.

"Li Zheng, you come to judge. They are building a house in the front section of their house. They are knocking and knocking all day long. It's noisy and our family can't sleep well. Now they have to open a slope in front of our house. This is not a curse on our house." Downhill?”

The courtyard of Shu Xi's house and Aunt Shen's house are on a lower ground than that of Old Mrs. Zou's house. There used to be a gravel path connecting the main gate of Old Mrs. Zou's house and the side entrance of Shun Xi's house.

Whenever it rains, this slope is difficult to walk on. While Mao Xi was repairing the house, she asked workers to pave the slope with stones to make it easier for everyone to enter and exit.

Although this slope faces the door of Mrs. Zou's house, it is not the main entrance of her house, and it is also connected to the main road of the village.

But the old woman just didn't want to, so she just pulled Li Zheng over and insisted on settling the dispute. "

Chen and Ma Xi explained to Li Zheng that they paved the slope to facilitate everyone's entry and exit, and they bought the stones with their own money.

Old Mrs. Zou refused to give up. She took a big hoe from her house and kept saying that she wanted to pry up the stone slope.

Li Zheng stepped forward to stop her and said, "Mrs. Zou, don't be unreasonable. Let's all step back. Building roads is a good deed. Besides, this is the land in front of Boss Liu and his family. What are you doing with your hoe? Hurry up and put it away for me."

Old Mrs. Zou retorted: "Bah! This slope has been repaired. Do you want me to take the Huangquan Road? If you don't let me demolish it, seal it up for me. Don't let me see it all day long. It's bad luck!"

Li Zheng saw that the old woman had no intention of discussing, so he said to Mrs. Chen: "Pei Rong, it's hard to discuss with Mrs. Zou. Since she doesn't want to see her, how about we work harder and install a bamboo fence gate?"

Chen had no choice but to nod in agreement.

In the afternoon, Lu Da came back with some bamboo and helped Chen drive piles on the top of the slope to make a fence gate.

Mao Xi and Lou Lan'er were a little reluctant, but Mrs. Chen said that the Chinese New Year was coming, so she asked them to endure it. At most, they would have to open and close multiple doors when going out in the future.

The two returned to the kitchen, Lou Laner helped her process the beef, and they made meatballs together.

Remove the fascia of the beef in advance, beat it by hand with a wooden stick, add salt and ice water, add it to the meat in three batches, beat it into a paste, then beat it hard with your hands, finally squeeze the meatballs out of the tiger's mouth, pour them into warm water and cook Shape it into shape, take it out and put it into the prepared ice water.

I cooked a pot of beef balls and millet rice for everyone to snack on, and put the rest in the space to freeze for future use.

Lu Da was making a fence on the top of the slope at the door. Before he started making the door, villager Liu San ran over and knocked out the newly driven wooden stakes.

He yelled at the top of his lungs, fearing that no one in the village would hear him.

"My land is still at the bottom of the slope. Why do you want to build a fence gate for me? How will I get to the ground in the future? Just tear it down!"

The villagers who were watching the excitement went out one after another and came to Shu Xi's house to watch the excitement.

Seeing that someone was looking for trouble again, Mao Xi came to Chen's side and hit back at Liu San: "Uncle Liu, you haven't planted any vegetables on the land down there. It's all grass. It's lying there, and I don't see you taking care of it on weekdays! "

"I don't care. My land is mine. I still have to go in and out. What do you mean by opening a fence? Do you want to take that land as your own?"

At the bottom of the slope, in addition to Mian Xi's family and Brother Chunsheng's family, there are two small pieces of wasteland, which belong to villager Liu San. They have been there for several years since Mian Xi was sensible.

Such a quarrel between the two families put Chen and Shu Xi in trouble.

Mu Zhiyuan said, "Mr. Liu, your piece of land is also unused. Since it is not used, how about we buy it?"

Liu San disagreed and said: "That land is what I will leave to my descendants in the future. I can sell it wherever I can. Anyway, you can't build this fence!"

Aunt Shen came over to help persuade: "Old man Liu, you have moved to live near the ancestral hall, and I haven't seen you grow vegetables on this land. Since it is uncultivated and there is no access, it's not like they opened a fence to seal it up. , why not? Besides, there is a way, don’t be so unreasonable!"

Liu San still disagreed, and Aunt Shen's persuasion was useless. His wife Zhao also followed, and the two of them started to tear down the half-built fence!

The fence had just been demolished, but old woman Zou disagreed. She rushed out of the door, picked up a hoe and was about to knock on the slope.

Fortunately, Lu Da was strong and stood there watching with Mu Zhiyuan, so she didn't make a move.

But Poe couldn't knock, so she started to curse, first she scolded Shui Xi's family, and then she started to attack Liu Sanliang's parents-in-law.

Old Mrs. Zhao was the best at cursing in the village. How could Old Mrs. Zou have the upper hand? The two old ladies started greeting each other like their ancestors.

Li Zheng and the clan leader rushed over, and the noise stopped.

The three families sat together, and Li Zheng and the clan leader finally decided to let Mao Xi's family change the newly repaired slope into stone steps.

Mao Xi disagreed: "The stone steps and stone slopes are the main roads leading to the village. Why can't they be sloped?"

Old Mrs. Zou said proudly: "I don't care anyway, so you can't build a stone slope in front of my house. I agree with the decision of Li Zheng and the clan leader. I have no objection to changing the stone steps!"

Liu San echoed: "I don't have any objection to the stone steps. As long as the door is not repaired and the road is not sealed, it can be repaired no matter what."

Mao Xi had no choice but to lift the paved stones together and pile them aside.

On weekdays, when you bring food to Lihua Town, you have to drive a donkey cart. It is impossible to build stone steps. The newly paved stone slope has been knocked back to its original shape and turned into a gravel and mud road.
