I am old in the Han Dynasty

When Xie Lang said it, he couldn't help but slap himself on the head. Such a convenient and simple method can be forgotten.

"What are you beating yourself for?" Qin Hong asked hastily.

Xie Lang pointed to the amaranth jar, "I should have thought of it earlier."

"Because of this?" Qin Hong burst out laughing, "What else should I do. You have so many things every day, how can you think of everything. Besides, it may not be possible."

Xie Lang: "It must be okay if it smells so bad. Sister-in-law, pour me a small jar, and save me a plate of tofu tomorrow, I'll try it."

"Okay." Qin Hong agreed without thinking.

The next morning, Xie Guang sent him the tofu.

Xie Lang cut half of it and put it in the jar of smelly amaranth water, cut the other half into small pieces and put it in the cabinet, then sent the tofu board to Xie Bowen.

Feng Ying saw what was in Xie Lang's hands, and when she got home, she told Yao Guizhi that Xie Guang had brought tofu to Xie Lang again.

A moment later, Yao Guizhi brought a plate of tofu and vegetarian chicken to Xie Lang.

Xie Lang was very surprised, "Why do you give me this if it's not a year or a festival?"

"I'm here to let you eat." Yao Guizhi looked into the kitchen as he said that, but he didn't see the tofu, so he mistakenly thought that Xie Lang had eaten it, "It can be left for a few days in cold weather, eat slowly." Put it down and leave.

Xie Lang frowned slightly, what the hell was going on.

How can he and Xiao Qi eat so much?

Xie Lang let out a long sigh, and put the tofu on the sink, and the vegetarian chicken in the stove.

When cooking at noon, Xie Lang fried the sliced ​​vegetarian chicken with sauce.When frying, Xie Lang put a lot of oil. Considering the sauce itself is salty, no salt was added.When it is done, just sprinkle a little chopped green onion from Jiangshan map.

Xie Lang called his family's four little ones over, he and Xiao Qi got a bowl, the golden monkey got a bowl, and the tiger and little wolf each got a bowl.Xie Lang said only after dividing, "I'll eat this today."

The golden monkey stood up and looked around.

Xie Lang raised his hand and handed it a piece of bread, and asked intentionally, "Are you looking for this? Here it is."

The golden monkey turned his head and gave him a side face. Whoever wants to eat noodles, it wants fish soup, and it wants broth.

"No." Xie Lang pointed to its pot, "Today only this one is."

The golden monkey sniffed and turned to stare at Xie Lang, really?

"Forget it if you don't eat." Xie Lang waved the cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

The golden monkey hastily stretched out his hand.

Xie Lang gave it the cake.

The golden monkey took a big bite of the pancake and glanced at Xie Lang, what happened to this magical weirdo?There is obviously fish in the cabinet, why doesn't he cook it.

"Brother Monkey, this is delicious." Xiao Qi picked up a piece of vegetarian chicken, turned to face the golden monkey, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing that the children also eat vegetarian chicken, the golden monkey stretched out his hand to grab a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, intending to gulp it down, his eyes widened in surprise, delicious?

The unbelieving golden monkey grabbed another piece, smashed it and smacked his lips, this magical human being is really amazing, can a vegetarian chicken with no taste be so delicious?

"Is it delicious?" Xie Lang looked at the golden monkey.

The golden monkey couldn't speak, so he just grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xiao Qi said in surprise, "Third Master, Brother Hou really likes the dishes that Third Master cooks."

Iron pan, lard and sauce, when these three things come together, everything is delicious when fried.Even green vegetables or white rice.

"Do you like it?" Xie Lang asked.

The child nodded and grinned, "I like it."

"Eat it if you like it. Don't eat it if you feel full. If you eat too much of this food, your stomach will swell." Xie Lang reminded him.

The child held up the cake, "I eat the cake."

Xie Lang looked at the thin bread, and his heart moved, he broke off a small piece and dipped it in vegetable juice and put it into the child's mouth, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious G." The child opened his eyes wide, and put the bread in his hand into the vegetable bowl.

Hearing the exclamation, the golden monkey raised his head. Seeing the child's action, he also imitated the child by wrapping vegetable juice on the bread and stuffing it into his mouth, so he couldn't help but smack his mouth.

Human beings are too smart, too good at eating.

Is this the difference between humans and them?

definitely is!

The golden monkey swallowed the bread, stretched out its hand again and screamed at Xie Lang, and gave another piece, but it didn't taste good.

Xie Lang handed it over and pointed to the dish bowl, "Eat this up."

The golden monkey glanced at him, and I was eating.He lowered his head and grabbed a handful of vegetarian chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, then put the noodles into the basin.

Seeing its movements, Xie Lang couldn't help but said, "Monkey spirit, monkey spirit, I'm really right about you."

"Brother Monkey is the best." Xiao Qi said.

Xie Lang nodded, "Yes! Eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

The child suddenly stopped talking.When he was full, he wiped his mouth and went to sleep in the bedroom without looking for Xie Lang.

Xie Lang tidied up the inside and outside before picking up the child and not letting him sleep.Otherwise, I toss and turn at night and cannot sleep.

Leading him out for a walk, Xie Lang asked Xiao Qi to find other children to play with. When he returned home, he dug a deep pit in the open space between the toilet and the cattle pen, which was also a cellar, and dumped the sweet potatoes he had piled in the stove into. .

Xie Lang didn't want the villagers to know that earlier, when it was getting dark or getting dark, he would go to dig sweet potatoes behind the house or on the mountain.After digging four baskets, enough to make seeds next year, Xie Lang didn't go to the mountains again.

The ones on the mountain can be kept until next year, and Xie Lang doesn't need to find a reason when he grows sweet potatoes next year, just say that he can find them on the mountain.If he was frozen to death when it was snowing, then Xie Lang could only find out the old man who saw him planting sweet potatoes and ask him to prove that he got them from the mountain.Otherwise, those gossiping women in the village who have nothing to do will have to mutter again.

After the sweet potatoes were stored in the cellar, it was getting dark, Xie Lang called Xiaoqi home, steamed five bowls of egg custard, one bowl for each of the five members of the family, and went back to sleep in their respective rooms after eating.

The next day, Xie Lang opened the door and saw that it was bright outside, he was startled, did he sleep again?

Opening the door of the main room, he opened his mouth wide in shock, "Xiaoqi, get up, it's snowing."

"Ah?" The child turned over and sat up, a gust of cold wind hit the bedding, and the child hurriedly lay down, "Master, my clothes."

Xie Lang dressed him up, took the child outside, and made a creaking sound when his feet stepped on the snow. Xie Lang couldn't help but bent down and used his hands to push it away. .Next year must be a good year.

"Do you want to build a snowman?" Xie Lang stood up and looked at the child and asked.

"What is a snowman?" When it snowed in previous years, children in thin clothes would hide under the blankets.This year was the first time he stood in the snow since he was born, and he was very curious, "Is it Xiao Qi?"

Xie Lang smiled and said, "It's Xiao Qi. You step back, and the third master will make you a Xiao Qi."

Xie Lang hasn't built a snowman for many years, but the one Xie Lang made is nothing like it.But when Xiao Qi saw that he was acting like a human being, she couldn't help shouting, "Master, it's me! It's me!"

"Not yet." Xie Lang went to the kitchen to get some ashes from the pot, made eyes and eyebrows for the snowman, and made him a nose and mouth with snow, then took a step back and let the child see for himself, "Does it look like it? "

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Qi said, "Like!"

"Your third master makes a puppy, and you say it does."

Xie Lang turned his head to look, Yao Guizhi was standing at the door, "What's the matter? Auntie."

"I'll get the tofu board, your second brother needs to use it," Yao Guizhi said.

Xie Lang looked at the sky and then at the ground, "Still going?"

"The snow hasn't melted, so it's easy to walk on the road. I will send you a few more times today, and I won't go before New Year's Eve." Yao Guizhi said about New Year's Eve, and suddenly remembered something, "You didn't want you to spend with us last year. By yourself?"

Xie Lang shook his head, and pointed at Xiao Qi before she could speak, "We, and them." He pointed at the golden monkey, tiger and little wolf who ran out upon hearing the noise.

Yao Guizhi followed his fingers and couldn't help laughing, "I forgot."

"Normal. After all, I'm the only one raising them in our village." Xie Lang gave her the board, "Have you bought the vegetables and meat for New Year's Eve?"

Yao Guizhi: "Go shopping today. We will live with your elder brother and second brother this year. Are you sure you won't live with us?"

"I've eaten at your house, but I have to come back and cook for them. It's too troublesome." Xie Lang wanted to make durian stewed chicken, then chestnut roasted chicken, braised mutton and steamed fish.

When Xie Lang came to her house, he could only drink cabbage, radish and mutton soup.If he doesn't keep the three and Xiaoqi, he won't go either.

Yao Guizhi had no doubt about him, but couldn't help but said, "How long do you plan to keep him?"

"When I can't afford it. With the three of them, Xiaoqi and I can sleep soundly."

Once Xie Lang said this, Yao Guizhi was speechless.

Not to mention that "Prince Prince" gave Xie Lang ten pennies, even if he didn't, his yard is quite eye-catching.

Xie Lang locked the door after sending Yao Guizhi out, so that no one would come in without knocking.

After dinner, Xie Lang opened the door and asked Xiao Qi to go and play with the pony, and he went to the mountain for a walk.

Seeing him going up the mountain, Xie Bowen couldn't help asking, "What are you doing up the mountain at this time?"

"Last night it snowed heavily, maybe there were things that froze to death, pick up a few for the little ones to eat. Save the skins to make shoes or clothes." Xie Lang said.

Xie Guang immediately ran out of the house.

Xie Lang couldn't help laughing, "Let's go. Let's go together."

Everyone who heard this came over.

Xie Langyu sighed inwardly, but did not push them away.However, just because he was soft-hearted for a moment, he had followed a group of people behind the head of the village.Some of them are even in their teens, and they haven't thanked Da Guang.

Xie Lang didn't go into the mountain either, he crossed the simple wooden bridge they built to the other side of the mountain, and turned southeast to the bamboo forest.

Some people don't understand, "Is there something over there too?"

"There are a few pits and traps that Xie Guang and I dug before. It snowed all night, and the traps should be covered by snow. Wild boars or other things can't be seen. If you fall into it, you won't be able to get out." Xie Lang said, and turned to the crowd, "Don't go into the mountains without me or Xie Guang leading you. There are also many traps inside. The trap openings are covered with weeds, if you fall into it, you will be killed."

"How deep are you digging?"

Xie Guang continued, "There are bamboo arrows underneath."

Everyone shuddered.Without Xie Lang needing to say more, they didn't dare to go up secretly.

Xie Lang's guess was right, the heavy snow covered up the truth, and he got two big wild boars as he wished.Everyone pulled up together, and the wild boar was already frozen.

Xie Lang estimated the weight of the wild boar, and after cleaning it up, each family could share a few catties, so they went straight home.

When everyone heard that he was going to divide the meat, they didn't say they would go up the mountain to have a look.

When he arrived in the village, Xie Lang watched the crowd clean up the pig with his hands in his hands, and then went home with two strings of ribs and a piece of fat.

When they got home, Xie Lang stewed all the ribs with big ingredients. After the stew was done, he took them out and gave them to the golden monkey, the tiger and the little wolf, and there was still a clay pot left.

Xie Lang pointed at the meat, "These are also your rations." Put them on the cupboard and go to wash the pot and boil the oil.

Xie Lang didn't know how to cook much pasta, and he wanted to make something for his children, so he took a piece of noodles, rolled them to the thickness of noodles, cut them into rhombus shapes and pressed them in an oil pan.

The scent wafted outside the gate and no one came.Gein thought he was cooking lard, and every household was busy stewing pork and cooking lard.

In this atmosphere, New Year's Eve passed and People's Day ushered in, which is the seventh day of the first lunar month.

At this time, those who did not visit their relatives on the first day of the first lunar month did so on the seventh day of the first lunar month.

The relatives of Xie Lang's family were all broken, so he brought two fish to Xie Bowen and sat there for a while, then went back with Xiaoqi.

"Xiaoqi, what do you want to eat today?" Xie Lang smiled and looked at the bouncing children in front of him.

The child blurted out, "Green vegetables."

"You are getting better and better at eating." Xie Bowen, who was sweeping snow at the door, couldn't help laughing, "Where will your third master find vegetables for you this day?"

The child tilted his head, "My family has it."

"Yes?" Xie Bowen looked at Xie Lang.

Xie Lang nodded, "The plants in my yard didn't freeze to death."

"Frozen to death? By the way, Sanlang, go and see if your Maizi is still alive." Xie Bowen quickly put down the shovel and wanted to go with him.

"Is this Bowen's house?"

Xie Lang followed the sound and saw a woman in her fifties, "Who is it?" Seeing Xie Bowen's face change suddenly, "No, can't you?"

Xie Bowen ran into the house, "Qin Hong, Xiao Guang, hurry up, hide the meat, put away the white flour cake, clothes, clothes, it's too late, put on the old clothes—"

"Brother Bowen, what are you doing? There are guests at your house." Seeing that the woman was about to enter, Xie Lang hurriedly shouted.
