Dress like a farmer

Now the stalls at home only have steamed buns with shrimp paste and five-spice tea eggs. The portion of braised pork has been reduced to ten catties a day, and a pair of braised pig’s trotters is served every day. .

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Yuping got up early, and he made up his mind to roll up his sleeves for the Mid-Autumn Festival to set up a table with a sumptuous meal.

Father Chen finished his chores inside and outside the house, and then went to the second son's house next door to help tidy up the house. After finishing the work, he went home with Brother Cao in his arms and guarded in front of his stall.

Thinking about celebrating the festival today, every household will eat and drink well.

Therefore, the portions of the food at the stall were halved, [-] steamed buns with shrimp paste, [-] spiced tea eggs, [-] catties of braised pork and a pair of stewed trotters.

If the stalls are sold out early and the stalls are closed early, you can also breathe a sigh of relief.

"Second Uncle, where's Brother Ping?"

"Busy at the stove."

"Brother Cao looks fat again, it's still the second uncle who can take care of the children."

Seeing that he didn't look like he was going to buy food, Old Man Chen asked, "Is there something to find brother Ping? I'll call him out."

"Brother Ping said earlier that he wants to know who is willing to sell the cattle. If he has a letter, let him come and tell him, and he will send some food he made himself."

"That's right." Chen Yuping greeted him with a smile: "Who wants to sell a cow? I want to buy a stronger cow that can go directly to work in the field."

"Yes, the next door to my Helang family wants to sell their cattle that have been raised for more than two years. The cattle are young, strong and fat, and they work hard whether they are harnessed to a cart or work in the fields. His family doesn't want to sell them at all. It's because the old man in the family is sick and urgently needs money, so he gave up the pain to give up his love. The price is also a little more expensive, and he needs seven taels of silver to pay. If Brother Ping has an idea and is free right now, he can follow my Helang Go to the village and look around, the price is a bit expensive, but the cow is a good cow, I'm afraid someone will buy it if it's too late."

My women call me daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, and my brother usually calls Alang or just by his name. It can be seen that this person loves my brother very much, and the words are intimately called He Lang.He is the name of his elder brother.

There are still a lot of things to be busy in the kitchen, Chen Yuping really doesn't have time, and he doesn't know what is a good cow and what is a bad cow: "Father, let my father go and have a look?"

"Let your father handle this matter. He knows how to look after cattle. I'll call him back."

Old man Chen came back soon, took the money and went together to the village where the cattle were sold.

About half an hour later, old man Chen returned home with a proud expression on the head of the strong cow.

"This cow is a good cow. Let's pick up the treasure! Seven taels of silver is not a loss." He touched the cow's head while talking, and his eyes were full of satisfaction and joy.

"It's a good thing we didn't delay, if we were a little later, we wouldn't be able to buy it." The man said with a happy expression on his face: "Brother Ping, you see, this cow has been bought, and I have a small request, Listen, if you think it's troublesome, it's okay, I bought two catties of pork belly, can you please make me a piece of braised pork, so I don't need to eat the rest."

Chen Yuping smiled and nodded: "Okay, you can bring the meat here, and you can get it in the afternoon."

"Okay, thank you Ping, I'm sorry."

Chen Yuping sent the man away, turned around and saw that Father and Niu were gone: "Where is the man?"

Father Chen pointed to the back of the house, with a teasing smile on his face: "They said they were going to clean up the cowshed."

"The cowshed that was built just now, there is no need to tidy it up."

"Who knows him."

As soon as Chen Yuanqiu entered the house, he was caught alive by the excited old man Chen: "Youngest, go and come back from cutting fresh green grass."

"Father, I will take the cow out to eat, and it will eat as much as it wants."

"No, you go and cut it back."

"Okay."

"I've been raring about this cow for the past few days. Just wait and see, I'll lead it wherever I go." Father Chen didn't even have to guess, "When I sleep tonight, he will definitely be nagging in my ear."

Chen Yuping's brows and eyes were crooked with a smile. My father always said that the youngest was out of tune. This is probably due to my father himself.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, pay attention to a round reunion.

Chen Yuandong and his wife brought Qiao Niuer to the old house to have dinner with their gifts.

Two pairs of cloth shoes, one catty of wine, one catty of honey cake, one catty of meat and one fish, this ritual is considered heavy.

Father and father usually treat them well, and they are always caring for them. Liu Guixiang is thinking of love, so naturally he also puts father and father on his mind.What it is like for the natal family, the husband's side is the same, regardless of each other's bowl of water.

Originally, he wanted to buy mooncakes, but Chen Yuping talked to his second brother in advance, don't buy mooncakes from the town, he was going to make them himself, and changed to get mooncakes directly from the old house when the second sister-in-law went back to her mother's house tomorrow.

That's why moon cakes were replaced with honey cakes.

When the snowy mooncakes were put on the table, Chen Yuping didn't say clearly that they were mooncakes, he didn't say anything.

The family thought it was his new Mid-Autumn Festival food.

"It's so beautiful. How did Brother Ping make it? It's so beautiful." Liu Guixiang endured a little hard. Sweet, as if there is a strong meaty smell? A faint eggy smell, and lotus fragrance? What exactly is it?"

Chen Yuanqiu stared at the dish without taking his eyes off it: "I don't know, it seems delicious." The saliva was about to flow out, so he quickly wiped his mouth.

Even Cao Geer and Qiao Niuer, the two milk dolls are also very interested in the snow skin mooncakes, looking at them with their small heads, twitching their chubby little arms, they look very cute.

"Brother Ping, what kind of food is this?" Old Man Chen asked.

Father Chen helped, he had some guesses, but he didn't say anything, letting the third son pretend to be mysterious, which whetted everyone's appetite.

The meals are all on the table, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important festival, so the meals should naturally be plentiful.

Normally, this delicious food must have attracted the attention of everyone, but today is different.Everyone looked at the plate in the middle. There were cakes stacked on top of the plate. I didn’t know if it was cakes. It looked a bit similar, but the ones sold in the store were not as good-looking and beautiful at all. The transparent exterior can faintly see the inside, but it is not very clear, and the haze is more attractive.

"What day is it today?" Chen Yuping said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, what do you want to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Chen Yuandong's eyes widened: "Mooncake! Third brother, this is the mooncake you made? I said the flowers on it looked familiar, like the usual pattern of mooncakes, but how could the mooncake made by third brother be so different?"

"The mooncakes I made are not only different from the ones bought in the town, but even the fillings inside are different from heaven and earth. Try them all. There are several kinds of fillings. I have been working on them since yesterday. It woke up at dawn, and it took a lot of effort, but it was not in vain, and the taste is very good."

"This is moon cake." Liu Guixiang was a little dazed.Such a beautiful moon cake, she can take it back to her mother's house as a gift, she is a little dizzy, the third brother is too kind!

Chen Yuanqiu had sharp eyes and quick hands. He reached out for one, held it in his hand, and took a bite: "Sweet! It's so tender, smooth, fragrant and soft, my God! What kind of fairy mooncake is this? Third brother, what kind of filling is this? I heard It is fragrant with lotus seeds, but I have never eaten such fragrant lotus seeds, sweet but not greasy, fresh and delicious, delicious, so delicious."

"Salty, salty?" Old man Chen looked confused, and chewed twice: "Meat?" He looked at the mooncake in his hand in a confused way: "Is this meat?" Jin: "Is it a little sweet?" Swallowing it in one gulp, he slammed it into his mouth, with endless aftertaste: "It's really delicious."

"I ate bean paste mooncakes. It's soft and glutinous, with a hint of sweetness. It's also delicious." Father Chen smiled cheerfully. He likes to eat this bean paste mooncake, which suits his taste.

Chen Yuandong thought for a while, but he was not sure: "My mooncake has a lot of fillings, including peanuts, walnuts, almonds, and sesame seeds, and... I don't know what it is, it tastes strange! The more you eat, the more delicious it is, crispy and refreshing. Mouth full of fragrance and delicious."

"The youngest eats lotus paste stuffing, my father eats meat floss stuffing, my father eats red bean paste stuffing, and the second brother eats five-nut stuffing, besides peanuts, walnuts, almonds, and sesame seeds, there are also pine nuts." Chen Yuping raised his eyebrows. He took a bite out of the mooncake, revealing the golden egg yolk. Just looking at it made him very appetizing: "My egg yolk filling. There are also stewed meat fillings, jujube paste fillings, sweet-scented osmanthus fillings, and ham fillings." He made everything he wanted Come out, ham is not cheap, I felt a little distressed when I bought it, but when I ate ham mooncakes, I felt it was very worthwhile.

It's worth the money!
