Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

"Uncle Daguo, can the educated youth raise chickens? We also want to raise a few chickens in the yard so that we can have eggs to eat from time to time."

"According to the regulations, you can raise chickens. One person can raise two chickens, so the three of you can raise six.

At this time, several families in our village have chicks. If you want to raise them, you can ask my wife or your Aunt Qiao to take you to ask tomorrow.

In fact, you can buy 10. Many families in the village do this, and not every chick can be raised.

When the chickens are half grown, you can kill a few for yourself. This is tacitly agreed upon by the village, but you can’t tell anyone else, okay?”

"Don't worry! Uncle, we know we won't say anything nonsense. Thank you for telling us this. They are both seated. Let's go back!"

Fan Daguo glanced behind him before swinging the rope in his hand. Ouyang Qing originally wanted to ride his bicycle first,

After thinking about it, I followed the ox cart slowly. Although the weather was bad, I didn't feel too cold when riding a bicycle and it was acceptable.

After a while, Ouyang Yan and the other girl asked her if she was tired. If she was, they would help ride for a while, but Ouyang Qing refused.

Following the swaying ox cart, we finally arrived at the village entrance when it was getting dark.

Fortunately, the weather was very cold, and the adults and children in the village had gone back to eat, so there was no crowd. There were too many things on the ox cart.

Fan Daguo drove the ox cart to the gate of the courtyard and helped them move the water jar into the courtyard under the eaves.

It was already completely dark and there were only three female comrades at home, so it was not appropriate for a grown man like him to follow them into the kitchen.

Rice and flour were also placed under the eaves. He put the things down and turned around to leave.

Ouyang Qing quickly opened the door and took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from the cupboard.

She placed it directly on his hand and spoke before he could open his mouth.

"Uncle, it's so late now. You've been busy with us all day and even came back to help us unload our things.

Take these candies back and give them to the children to sweeten their mouths. Don't say anything else.

Otherwise, I won’t dare ask you for help next time if I need anything.”

We have already accepted so many delicious foods today, so this little bit is not a big deal. These young educated youth have never said anything to them, and they always have a lot of little reasons to talk about.

He thanked them anyway and drove the ox cart away slowly. After the people were far away, Ouyang Qing closed and locked the door.

The three of them worked together to move all the things into the kitchen. Once they entered the kitchen, they collapsed on the bench. Ouyang Qing thought to himself that it was fortunate that he was smart.

I packed the food for dinner in advance, and when I thought of this, I stood up and started to unpack.

The dried bacon, sausage, vacuum-cooked duck, salt-baked chicken, vacuum-cooked beef and pork were all placed on the table one by one.

The other two who were originally sitting couldn't help but stand up when they saw so many good things, their eyes shining.

"Qingqing~Are these all sent to you by your aunt? This is too much!"

Ouyang Yan was not surprised at all by these things. Before she went to the countryside, her uncle and aunt often brought all kinds of delicious meat to their home.

It can be said that there was never a shortage of meat at home, and I helped to clear away everything on the table.

After a pause, he still felt that it was not appropriate: "Qingqing~ You can't put all this meat in the cabinet, put some in the room,

If someone comes to visit us and accidentally sees so many things, it will be too eye-catching. We still have too few cabinets.

Let's ask a carpenter to make two more tomorrow. We can lock them in our house at other times. What do you think?"

Yes~ This is something I hadn’t considered. It’s not like there are no shelves in the cellar like at home, so I can only put things outside.

"Xiao Qing, your room is next to the kitchen, can you put it in your room first? You can go and have a look tomorrow. There are no ready-made cabinets to buy.

I'd better lock it up separately with a key in the future. If educated youth or villagers come to visit,

It wouldn't be nice if someone accidentally saw all these good things in our kitchen."

For the sake of her future plan of eating meat, Xiang Xiaoqing agreed without hesitation.

She now remembered the package she had touched at the beginning, and couldn't wait to open it.

I saw several small bags inside. I opened the bags one by one and then I saw mung beans, red beans, red dates, walnuts, and a large bag of white sugar inside.

"Qingqing~ I love you so much. You actually bought all the things I wanted, and bought so many.

Don't worry, I'll soak the beans in a moment, and make you some delicious cakes tomorrow, and some walnut crisps to fill your stomach."

After saying that, he went to soak the beans excitedly. After the beans were soaked, he brought a big bowl and sat down to prepare to peel the walnuts.

The two sisters looked at each other and decided that there was no need to be so anxious. They should just pack up their things first!

The rice and flour were placed in the cupboard, and Ouyang Qing took out the meat from the bottom of the basket.

This is also what shocked Ouyang Yan and Xiang Xiaoqing the most. This amount of meat is simply not comparable to the half pound of meat they bought!

Although Ouyang Yan had seen so much meat when she was at home, it was all brought by her uncle and aunt. But now they have moved to the countryside.

Ouyang Yan saw that she had already thought about how to eat the meat. "Qingqing, it's you who came up with this. I suddenly want to eat the mutton soup cooked by my aunt.

How happy it would be to have a bowl of mutton soup in such cold weather!

Unfortunately, we don’t have the skills of my aunt, so we can only think about it.”

Speaking of this, Ouyang Qing finally remembered that he had asked his mother to write a simple recipe for him last time.

If you follow the recipe, there won't be much difference.

"Sister Yanyan, wait until you finish cleaning up here, and I'll go look for it in the house for you.

My mother wrote down all the tips for making soups and stews on paper, and also gave us a lot of spices.

I can guarantee that the mutton soup will be cooked tonight, and you can drink the mutton soup you've been craving for tomorrow morning."

"My aunt is really thoughtful. Don't worry, I will be the one to make the soup from now on.

You guys just need to eat. I'll clean up here. You should go find the food in the house first.

I'll stew the soup first. Do you want to eat dumplings or steamed buns tomorrow morning?

In such a cold day, we can make the dough rise the night before. We already have bacon, so should we cut up the fresh meat first?

Put it outside and freeze. The weather is so cold. Did you notice that the small ditch near the well in the yard is frozen?

The ice has not melted since this morning. Tomorrow we must find a carpenter and ask him to make a wooden box for us.

You can put it in the backyard and cover it with dry firewood so that no one can find it.

If you want to eat, just take a piece. Do you think this is a good idea?"

Is it ok? Of course it is. I heard that dumplings can be frozen outdoors in winter. It would be perfect if I could make some more dumplings tomorrow.

"Sister Yanyan, leave one piece of meat aside so we can make dumplings tomorrow night.

I also bought 10 meat buns today. If we want to eat steamed buns tomorrow, we can freeze them first.

Let’s wait a few days before eating. I’ll go find the food in the house first, and you clean up first.”

Ouyang Yan was already in a hurry to wash the stew pot and returned to her room.

Ouyang Qing first closed the door and entered the space. Her mother had written down the methods of making soup and stewing meat on paper, but the spices were not prepared.

Now she entered the space just to get some big news out first and then fool the other party."

When I returned to the kitchen, the meat on the stove had already been cut up and the mutton had been put into the stew pot.

He handed over the thing in his hand, "Sister Yanyan, this is what my mother wrote in advance, take a look first.

But I often follow my mother, and I see that no matter she is stewing soup or meat, she always boils the fresh meat in boiling water to remove the foam.

She put it in the pot and started stewing it at the end. I don't understand why, but she always does it this way.

You study this first. We will have rice for dinner tonight. I will steam the rice first, and we will have braised pork in brown sauce tonight."
