Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

As we entered mid-December, Baihua Cave became completely bustling.

Many families are raising pigs this year, and some don’t. But after counting their earnings at the end of the year, they find that they have made a lot of money, so they will buy a pig.

So, as soon as the middle of the month comes, everyone starts to invite guests to slaughter the New Year pig and eat the New Year pig dinner.

One family after another ate from the 15th to the 28th.

The only one who slaughtered the New Year pig on the 28th was Lu Yan. By the end of November, the matter was completely settled.

Daliang was beaten back. The neighboring State of Chu was just trying to join in the fun. If they could take down Daliang, they would get a piece of the pie. If they couldn't, or the situation wasn't right, they would withdraw.

They probably didn't expect that Daliang was so weak that Shen Hongyin could beat them to a pulp. If they hadn't surrendered, he would have beaten them right to their doorsteps.

The second prince was also confirmed to have connections with the two countries and was imprisoned in a dungeon. Su Ziling did not pay attention to what happened afterwards.

After the matter was settled, Lu Yan returned to Baihua Cave, and Qing Yi was in charge of the matters there.

His house was built in Baihua Cave. This year was the first year, so he followed the local customs and bought two pigs. He slaughtered them for the New Year and invited villagers to have a meal together. This meant he had completely integrated into the village.

New Year's Eve is here in a blink of an eye. This year is more lively than in previous years. There are more people setting off firecrackers in the village. Unlike previous years, when there were only two or three, this year every household is setting off firecrackers.

The firecrackers crackled all night long. Every household had surplus food, and the children received more New Year's money. When they received copper coins, the whole village was filled with the cheers of children.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people eat glutinous rice dumplings. Everyone gets up very early. From the hour of Chen to the hour of Si, the firecrackers at the mountain god temple never stop. When you hear the firecrackers, you know that someone has gone to offer sacrifices to the mountain god and their glutinous rice dumplings are ready.

After eating the dumplings, everyone started visiting each other. The Su family’s house was very lively, with people filling the yard and laughter that could be heard from far away.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, people have to go back to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings. In the past two years, everyone's conditions have improved, and almost every household has prepared rice cakes, bait blocks, and glutinous rice cakes.

Early in the morning, after eating rice noodles, everyone would carry their baba hammers back to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings.

Su Ziling also went to his uncle's house, mainly to see their tea trees.

Bai Wei carried Shi Liu and took A Xiu and Su Chuanbai back to Shishuping. This year was different from previous years.

Bai Shu became the head of the family and made some money from selling mushrooms. This year he earned some more money from growing bitter melons. Life at home has improved and the family atmosphere has also improved.

Everyone was wearing new clothes, even Yaya and the other girls had gained some weight. Compared to last year, they looked very different.

When he came back, Bai Shu gave each of A Xiu and her brother fifty copper coins.

A basket of persimmon cakes was filled for them. Su Ziling taught them how to make them. Their village was not called Shishuping for nothing.

There are many steamed persimmons and soaked persimmons in the village. Steamed persimmons can be cooked by putting a few sour papayas in them and then eaten ripe. They are especially sweet. Soaked persimmons also need to be soaked in hot water and salt.

When the persimmons turn yellow but are not yet soft, they should be cut and soaked. After soaking for four or five days, they can be eaten. Not only will the persimmons not be astringent, but they will also be particularly crisp and sweet.

Since they couldn't eat so many persimmons, they picked them, peeled them and made persimmon cakes. Worried that they wouldn't be able to sell them, Su Ziling promised them that they could bring them to the valley to sell.

With so many caravans coming and going every day, many people would buy and then sell in the next city.

Knowing that the col belonged to her, many people from the neighborhood came to ask her if they could set up a stall there to sell homemade dried sweet potatoes or dried fruits.

Su Ziling didn't stop them and didn't collect any money. Everyone was welcome to come if they wanted to. It wasn't long before the valley became extremely lively.

There are stalls everywhere from beginning to end. People from nearby villages no longer go to the town or county to attend the market, but come here. Not only is it close, but the goods are also complete, with all kinds of daily necessities and delicacies.

Of course, the most popular ones are from Su Ziling's shop, including tea stalls, ice jelly stalls, as well as tofu, soy milk, tofu pudding, soy flour, shredded rabbit, air-dried rabbit, sweet potato flour, steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, steamed cakes, pickled papaya, pickled olives, mushroom sauce, pickled radish, Qinglong Guohai soup, pickled islet fruit, ginger taro soup...

And so on, all kinds of snacks, even hairy tofu are now on sale, pickled, cold, steamed, or stewed, the methods are simple and fast. For steamed and stewed, just add a handful of wild onions or garlic sprouts, and some salt and pepper, it will be very delicious, no need to add anything else.

The taste is a bit overbearing. Once it comes out of the pot, half the street is filled with the smell of this tofu.

Of course, there are many people who like to eat it. Many people nearby will come to buy two kilograms. They don’t have to cook any dishes when they get home. They can have a full meal by just making some cold tofu or steaming it.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, Lu Yan brought the betrothal gifts to the Su family to propose marriage, and the wedding date was set for March 12.
