No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

Li Aweng went out early in the morning to pay off the cart. Li Erlang and Li Sanlang got dressed and put on their hoods and went to pick up things from the old house in the village.

It was dawn, and the two of them were walking side by side on the road. Li Erlang rarely felt guilty. "Sanlang, didn't you agree not to ask first?"

"Even Shiro and A-sao know about it. Well, A-sao knows that there are extenuating circumstances, but you two are like excluding me. Second brother, I feel uncomfortable."

Li Sanlang rarely showed his childish side since he went to private school in the county. Li Erlang couldn't help but feel distressed for a moment, and then comforted him: "It's not that I don't want you to see him, it's whether he wants to see you. He told me However, meeting Shiro and my sister-in-law was forced by the situation. He is a kind and sincere person, and he was worried that he would mistrust our family because of his kindness. I knew that I had not gained his trust, so I made an agreement with Shiro and his sister-in-law to keep it secret. . If one day he is willing to see you, I will definitely be happier than you."

Li Sanlang also knew this and lowered his head: "Okay... Then I'll wait for him to see me."

The two walked slowly to the village. After only one night, Shi Liang's story had already spread throughout Shandan County, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it spread throughout Ganzhou.

This era worshiped resourceful and brave people, followed by literati. It was a rare occasion when Li Erlang's limelight overshadowed his younger brother's and became the subject of discussion among people.

People on the road greeted him warmly. When he passed the door of the house, the children inside would run out to ask him about Shi Liang.

"If you have nothing to do, go to my house and find Shiro. He can tell stories better than me!"

So a group of children gathered together and ran to Li Erlang's house.

Normally, not only children, but also adults would have to pester and ask questions, but today it is not possible. Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, and every household is busy killing sheep and pigs, preparing snacks, and paying homage to the ancestral hall. They are very busy. . The children have all run out, which saves them the trouble of shouting about this and that.

Soon, the brothers came to Murakami's old house.

Aunt Li Liu saw Li Erlang's face covered with bruises, put down the things in his hands, and greeted his two nephews to come into the house with distressed eyes. Two twins, who were about the same age as Li Silang, came over with a smaller one. Open your mouth and let him tell a story.

Just like the pomegranate tree in the yard of the old house, Mrs. Li Liu is now a grandmother, but in addition to having many grandchildren, she also has many children.

The eldest daughter-in-law married the eldest son when he was seventeen. She gave birth to a son the next year, and now she has another son in her belly, waiting for his birth next year. The second daughter-in-law came into the family when the second son was nineteen, and the child was a few days shy of turning one year old. The third daughter-in-law only came to this home at the beginning of last year. The baby in her belly is just four months old and she will give birth next year.

When the twins get older, she will also have to consider splitting up the family, and the old house will really become unlivable.

The two of them greeted the sisters-in-law together, and then saw the things Li Liu brought for them to take back.

"Don't make trouble with your cousins. I'll help you deliver the things with your sister later." Mrs. Li Liu had prepared mutton and pork early, and also packed some fruit snacks and cabbage: "Erlang, what's on your body?" If you are injured, please carry these snacks to save these two boys from struggling to get them."

"Sanlang, please pull the cart. There is a sheep, ten kilograms of pork, and three fish on the cart. Be careful when you go back." Aunt Li was waiting for the food to go back. Mrs. Li Liu could not keep the two of them for a long time, so she asked Li Sanlang quickly pulled the cart back.

The twins Douding and Ajie followed Li Erlang to listen to the story.

In front of returning home, Li Erlang froze on the spot holding the snack box. Seeing the scene in front of him, he was dumbfounded.

This...could it be possible that all the children in the village are here?

There was a large group of children standing in front of his courtyard, and among the crowd was Li Silang, who was standing on a bench!

The two little beans who came to listen to the story hurriedly ran into the yard and put down their things, then hurried out and mingled with the children. Li Silang suddenly pointed at Li Erlang: "Look at my second brother's face! Just to fool him." The bandits sneaked into the village and learned how to smash it themselves!"

Seeing is believing, the children unanimously echoed: "Oh——"

Li Erlang shook his head helplessly, too lazy to listen to the child's bragging, so he went in with Sanlang and his cousin Fangniang.

Fang Niang and Jin Niang are about the same age, and they often play together. After saying hello to Grandma Li and Grandma Li, she put down her things and went to find Li Jinniang.

The whole sheep on the cart had been shaved, disemboweled, and cleaned. Li Aweng had already sent the money back. He picked up the sheep and bumped it around. It weighed thirty or forty kilograms.

While Li Aweng was processing the mutton, Li Aniang asked Li Erlang to cut some pork and mince it into minced meat, while Li Sanlang went to kill the fish. They were busy washing vegetables, boiling water, killing chickens and ducks!

Li Aniang felt that they should have a grander New Year and Little New Year this year to wash away the family's bad luck and ensure that the whole family would be safe in the coming year.

Ji Qingyue's face in the painting is full of questions, what day is today?

First, a large group of chirping children came, and the whole courtyard suddenly boiled, like an explosion, making him unable to sleep anymore. Finally, Aniang Li couldn't bear it anymore, and drove the protagonist Li Silang out of the courtyard. Now The children also ran out of the yard, and then the yard was filled with the sound of "dong dong dong" chopping, as if they were chopping things.

He took a look at the calendar he made, and every day he made a mark on a pillar. It had been almost three months since he came here, and as the New Year was approaching, he responded with a poem: During the festive season, I miss my loved ones even more.

When he was free, he would think about random things. Ji Qingyue rubbed his face, went to the kitchen to scoop a ladle of hot water, mixed it with cold water to wash his face, and then hurried to the vegetable patch to observe the growth of vegetables.

The wheat has begun to ear, and at this rate, he will be able to harvest wheat after the year.

As for vegetables, it will take less than three to five days to fully enter the maturity stage. Most of them will be given to Li Erlang and the others, while he will keep a small part for himself to continue breeding.

Seeing that the wheat was about to mature, he had to prepare tools for shelling.

Nianzi.

In order to avoid detours, he chose to ask Li Erlang directly about the appropriate weight of stones to use for stone milling. If it was too heavy, it would easily crush the grains too much. If it was too light, it would not be crushed. Every step he made was wrong. It takes time, so he should be more cautious.

In the yard, Li Erlang held up the kitchen knife and quickly left an afterimage. The pork on the cutting board was quickly chopped into minced meat. He turned his head and saw that Aweng's method of cutting the sheep was clean and neat, shaving all the meat along the bones. , keep the bones and make soup. "Rinse the sheep's head and put it into the pot to cook!"

Li Sanlang squatted on the ground with a short knife to handle a big grass carp. Each one was very big: "Mom, let's make a fresh fish soup and a fish soup!"

Li Aniang was killing the chicken on the side and said angrily: "You can slice the fish by yourself. I can't learn your slow knife technique."

Li Silang told the story countless times, running in and out to drink water several times, and new children kept joining in. He had no choice but to tell the story over and over again, until Aunt Li called him and the two twins to come back for lunch. , the others reluctantly dispersed.

I believe these children will tell their stories to adults when they get home.

They were busy all morning just processing ingredients, and they had to continue working in the afternoon. At noon, the family made do, each scooping a bowl of soup with sheep head and mutton to make pancakes to eat.

Now the two kitchens in the house are in use, one is used to cook sheep head and steamed pork, and the other is used to roast duck and chicken.

In the cold winter, a bunch of green and fresh vegetables in the basket are more expensive than meat. Cowpeas can be used to stew sliced ​​meat, radish can be used to cook mutton soup, and a handful of celery can be thrown in when it is out of the pot. The flavor will come out immediately, and it is fragrant and delicious. Fresh, cabbage and spinach can be mixed into the meat, then stir-fry some flax seeds and put them into the pancakes!

After lunch, Li Fangniang took her two younger brothers home. Li Aniang stuffed a lot of fresh vegetables into the basket they brought, saying that she had bought them in the county before and asked Fangniang to take them back and give them a try tonight. .

Li Sanlang pulled the cart to send them back, while Li Aniang and others continued to work on the next dish - Lao Wan.

Making Lao Wan requires a lot of flour and cannot be mixed with mixed flour, so ordinary people only make Lao Wan once during the holidays.

While Li Aniang was mixing stuffing, Li Erlang took the opportunity to sneak into the study. "Yuelang!"

Ji Qingyue was thinking about a lightweight water mill. He found that if it were to be used to push a stone mill weighing hundreds of kilograms, it would probably not be able to push it based on the impact of the stream.

"What's wrong?" It happened that he also wanted to find Li Erlang.

"I would like to ask, how to make leek and egg filling?"

oh?

Ji Qingyue was overjoyed: "Are you going to make dumplings?"

Li Erlang originally wanted to make it a surprise, but he never expected to be stumped by the fillings. "Well, tomorrow is the New Year's Day. Grandma is going to make Laowan. The leek and pork filling has been mixed. How should I mix the egg filling?"

Ji Qingyue wanted to say scrambled eggs, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly discovered that their cooking method did not seem to include frying, and there was no iron pot. How to stir-fry? Clay pots may not be able to withstand stir-frying.

Seeing that Ji Qing Yue didn't speak for a while, Li Erlang asked, "Is it possible that you don't know Yue Lang?"

Um? This is insulting! Ji Qingyue doesn't allow anyone to question his eating skills!

"I know, you just need to scramble the eggs and mix them with leeks for seasoning. But we don't have an iron pot, how can we scramble the eggs?"

When Li Erlang heard this, he realized that Ji Qingyue was worried about this. He thought it was just scrambled eggs!

"Although we don't often cook fried food, it's not because we don't have iron pots. It's because sesame oil is expensive and we can't bear to use it for frying at home. Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, and I wanted to do it grandly to get rid of the mold in the house. Good luck, use more oil to scramble the eggs, I think grandma will agree to it, not to mention this is the labor pill that Yue Lang wants to eat!"

oh……

"If there is no iron pot, do you want to use a clay pot to scramble eggs?" Are you afraid that the bottom of the pot will fall off halfway through frying?

Li Erlang pretended to be mysterious: "Just wait and eat the pills stuffed with chives and eggs!"

After asking clearly, Li Erlang returned to the kitchen and took out a stone slab from somewhere, which was as big as seven or eight of his hands. The stone slab was polished and smooth.

He brushed it twice with water to remove the dust, and then placed the stone slab on the small medicine stove.

Some of the stone slabs were dug into the middle to form a recess, just enough to hold things without leaking out easily.

Seeing this, Aniang Li was confused: "You want to fry meat?"

"No, I want scrambled eggs. After the scrambled eggs are mixed with leeks, it will be leek and egg filling."

"Is this what that person said?"

"Ah."

Li Aniang stopped kneading the dough for a moment: "What a strange way to eat it. You go and touch ten eggs in the basket, and everyone will have a taste later."

The three women kneaded thirty kilograms of noodles, and the whole family was expected to be busy until late at night.

You can save a lot of time by preparing the difficult ingredients today and cooking them directly tomorrow. After all, you have to worship gods and ancestral halls tomorrow!

More work.

There are six kinds of fillings prepared, two of which were ordered by Ji Qingyue, and the portions are smaller than others. The remaining four kinds are one of mutton and one of pork, there is also a sweet bean paste filling, and a vegetarian filling, which contains some spinach, spinach, and radish. Plant vegetables and mix them together. Thanks to Ji Qingyue, these vegetables are all provided by him, and there is a whole big pot.

The whole family gathered around the big dining table. Grandma Li and Grandma Li rolled out the dough, while the others rolled out the dough. Each person could roll out more than a dozen pieces of dough at a time. No matter how fast the others worked, they could still supply the dough and wrap it up. There are various kinds of labor pills, whether it’s fun for the whole family or not!

The wrapped pills only need to be placed under the eaves of the yard, covered with a cover, and then they will freeze solid.

Lao Wan can be steamed, boiled or fried. You can make it however you want. In addition to the oil required for frying, Li Aniang fried some on a stone slab, mixed several kinds of fillings together, steamed and boiled enough to make a big pot, and put it into a bowl. , pour the sheep head and mutton soup into it, add a little sesame oil, sprinkle a handful of celery leaves, and the fragrance will come out.

Li Erlang counted the bowls on the table, ten.

But there are only nine people in their family now, seven of them use large bowls, and two small ones use ordinary rice bowls. So what is the remaining large bowl...?

Li Aniang followed the same pattern as before, scooping half boiled and half steamed lao balls into a bowl, pouring mutton soup on it, and adding a few fried lao balls in another plate, and handed them to Li Erlang: "Send them over. , let’s eat together, it won’t taste good when it’s cold!”

Li Silang observed for a moment, then spontaneously took Xiaodiezi and poured some soy sauce and vinegar on the Jianlao Pills: "I'll go too!"

Li Erlang silently took the big bowl: "I'll take care of it."

The two of them were afraid that the prison pill would be cold, so they quickly opened the curtain and walked out of the main room. After the curtain was lowered, no one in the room could see the two of them, but everyone in the room seemed to have guessed where they would go.

In the study, Ji Qingyue was squatting in front of the house to warm himself by the fire. He saw a stone in the stream that had been washed flat by the water. Later he planned to pick up the stone and make a dish of garlic-roasted eggplant and stir-fried vegetables.

He has already conceived the structure of a simplified version of the water mill, and plans to go to the mountains tomorrow to see if there are suitable stones.

Silently, he sighed. From morning to now, the Li family has been busy preparing food. Li Erlang's mother shouted "Baoluowan" several times at noon.

When he thought about the possibility of eating dumplings tonight, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

I really want to go home.

"Brother Ji!"

"Yuelang!"

Ji Qingyue picked up the slate, and just as he was about to put it on the stove, he heard the voices of the two brothers, so he hurried to the bridge: "Aren't you going to have dinner? Why are you here?"

Li Erlang explained: "My mother asked me to deliver this. She wants you to eat it while it's hot with us."

I don't know what words suddenly stimulated Ji Qingyue. When he found out, his eyes were filled with tears. He was afraid that Li Erlang and the others would find out, so he could only reply with a dull "hmm"...

Li Erlang still heard his mood and knew his sadness, but he didn't say anything, and he and Li Silang sent the prison pills in and left.

Ji Qingyue looked at a large bowl full of dumplings, with different shapes, including round, curved and flowery ones. In short, all the fillings were well wrapped in the dough.

The scent of sesame oil and celery became more and more appealing, and he quickly took the bowl back and ate it while warming the fire.

It tastes bad when it's cold.

The mutton soup is rich and full of spices, and the mutton is fresh and well-prepared, not fishy at all.

He took a sip of the soup first, picked up a round dumpling, put it in his mouth and bit into half of it. It turned out to be pure mutton!

In the whole bowl, he ate the leek pork and leek egg dumplings that he had been craving for. There were also pure meat and vegetarian ones. To his surprise, there were sweet fillings. A mouthful of fresh and salty lamb soup paired with bean paste filling dumplings. It was so strange, but it unexpectedly diluted the melancholy in his heart.

Desserts are indeed suitable to be enjoyed when one is feeling down.

There was a large bowl of soup dumplings mixed with boiled and steamed dumplings, and a small plate of fried dumplings. In the end, Ji Qing couldn't hold it any longer, so he rubbed his belly and left the slate-roasted vegetables for later!

In the evening, Li Erlang came anyway. He called Ji Qingyue: "Yue Lang, the things you asked me to buy before were not given to you because my injury has not healed in the past few days. Now I can finally deliver them to you."

A large bathtub, two buckets and a basin. He took the initiative and bought some bathing supplies and other daily necessities. He was very thoughtful and put everything in the bathtub. "I've put spatulas, bath beans and other things inside. In addition, I also bought a few sets of changes of clothes. My sister-in-law also made two sets of robes, which should be enough."

Ji Qingyue received the bathtub and nodded, "That's enough!"

Finally I can take a hot bath!

That night, Ji Qingyue boiled half a bucket of water in the largest clay pot, mixed some cold water and sat in the bathtub. The bathtub was not big enough for him to sit and soak in. It seemed that Li Erlang chose one when he made the choice. It is economical and does not require him to spend too much effort on boiling water.

The bath bean didn't look like a bean found in nature. He twisted it open and saw that it was broken into a pile of powder, exuding a faint floral fragrance. Although it didn't foam much after pouring water and rubbing it, it still had the ability to cleanse. The most important thing was The one he wanted was Liuxiang. Although he had no need for it, it was something Li Erlang bought with great effort, so it was hard to displease him.

His hair had long reached his shoulders. He rubbed his hair with bath beans, and now his whole body was exuding the fragrance of flowers.

This sparked another need: soap.

After taking a shower, he took out his cell phone, which had been out of battery for a long time. If bricks couldn't be made, he made a mirror, and shaved himself according to the reflected mirror.

He couldn't stand his unkempt appearance for a long time. He had to clean himself every day because he had to clean his face every day. He was too tired.

After shaving off his beard, he felt that his head felt lighter.

However, the scraper was too sharp and it was the first time I used it, so I inevitably made a few shallow cuts.
