The poor man grows watermelon

A large piece of land was planed clean by everyone. Not only did not a single radish fall, even the leaves of radish and spicy cabbage were picked up by everyone.

The tender tassels are picked out and blanched with water, then dried, and can be left to eat slowly throughout the winter; even the old ones will not be wasted, and feeding chickens and ducks are very popular.

At this time, Su Ya'er was squatting in front of the "radish mountain", picking out the radishes with "wounds" on the surface first, and putting those with intact skins into the kiln.

Yu Feng put the ones picked out by Su Ya'er into a bucket, washed them one by one, and handed them to Su Qingzhu to slice.

Su Ye deliberately boiled water and poured it into the wooden barrel.

Yu Feng was afraid that he would be troubled, so he hurriedly said: "The well water is not cold, so there is no need to burn it."

Su Ye shook his head, and said seriously: "It's winter, you can't soak in cold water for a long time, it's easy to get sick."

Although he was taught a lesson, Yu Feng grinned happily.

The rough palms were soaked in warm water, warming to the bottom of my heart.

Su Qingzhu is the most impatient, and gets annoyed after cutting for a while, "Is there any peerless martial arts that can cut up all these radishes in one go? When will it be a head when chopping like this!"

Yu Feng grabbed a slender carrot and knocked on his forehead, and said helplessly, "How can you get married if you're so uncertain?"

Su Qingzhu shook his head indifferently, "I'm only eighteen, so why worry!"

Su Ya'er couldn't help screaming when she heard the words.

The three of them looked over one after another, and Su Ye asked with concern, "What's wrong? But there are bugs?"

Su Ya'er shook her head, staring at Su Qingzhu with a complicated expression.

Su Qingzhu touched his face subconsciously, wondering: "Why are you looking at me like that? There are no bugs on my face."

Su Ya'er pursed her lips and said after a while, "You're only eighteen?"

"Ah, why did you lie to you?" Su Qingzhu said naturally.

Su Ya'er was confused again.

Others didn't understand why, but Su Ye suddenly reacted.

When Marquis Yong'an bought Su Ya'er back home, he seemed to have said that he was two years older than Su Yelan, so he could just take care of him.It's just that Su Yelan was withdrawn since she was a child, and she wasn't close to Su Ya'er.

I don't know how the two of them communicated. During these days, Su Ya'er called "Brother Xiaozhu, Brother Xiaozhu" every day, and I think she was annoyed at this time!

Fortunately, Su Qingzhu didn't pursue it, and turned his attention to the pile of white and skinny radishes again, "Ah - so many, when will it be cut?!"

Seeing his worried look, Su Ye couldn't help but think of the artifact of later generations.

"If you are not afraid of getting tired, you can go to the blacksmith's shop and buy a few blades, have them welded in a row and place them on a wooden board. With one stroke, the whole radish can be cut."

Su Qingzhu was most interested in this new gadget, and asked several questions one after another until he understood how to make the slicer before he gave up.

"You don't need to cut the radish after it's washed. Wait until I come back to get it done. I'll show you how good I am!" Su Qingzhu said, throwing away the knife, riding on his horse excitedly, and went to the blacksmith's shop in Lincun.

Su Ya'er was so startled by his actions that her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but read: "He just went as soon as he said? Even if he can buy ready-made ones, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth!"

Su Ye admired his vigorous temperament very much, and said with a smile: "Sharpening a knife is not the same as cutting firewood."

"Sharpening a knife is not a woodcutter by mistake?" Yu Feng pondered this sentence secretly, nodding his head again and again, "It really makes sense!"

Since both Su Ye and Yu Feng agreed, Su Ya'er was relieved and continued to pick carrots seriously.

Su Qingzhu didn't come back until Su Ye had ground all the beans and boiled the bean curd sticks one by one to dry on the rack.

Excitedly, he brought the things to Su Ye, and asked like offering a treasure, "Look, how are you doing?"

Su Ye took a look and was slightly taken aback.

The object in front of me was about a foot long, similar in appearance to a guillotine, the difference was that it was not a single piece, but a row of side-by-side blades.These blades are mounted on a wooden base with a handle that moves the blade up and down to cut.

I have to say that both the polishing technique and the fineness of the carpentry are better than Su Ye imagined.

He couldn't help sighing: "It's amazing to be able to do this in such a short time."

Yu Feng said with a smile: "Zhang Laotie is the best blacksmith in Wannian County. We entrust him to make all the agricultural tools in our village, and they are better than others!"

Su Qingzhu was obviously very satisfied, but said: "What's so good, I said it for a long time before he understood, if I didn't draw it on the ground with a wooden stick, I might not be able to do it well until now!"

Su Ya'er looked at him adoringly, "Brother Zhu is really amazing!"

Su Qingzhu raised his chin and replied without humility: "That is!"

Su Ye couldn't help laughing, and asked, "How much did it cost?"

"Well, no money."

Yu Feng frowned, "Didn't you bully others?"

Su Qingzhu was unhappy when he heard it, "Am I that kind of person!"

"Yes." Yu Feng said mercilessly.

"You are the one!" Su Qingzhu ignored him, angrily moved the guy to the side of the water tank to rinse.

Su Ye glanced at Yu Feng disapprovingly, and Yu Feng smiled as if showing weakness.

When Su Qingzhu came back, he asked nicely, "Tell me, little Zhuzi, what's going on?"

Su Qingzhu couldn't hold back after all, and explained angrily.

It turned out that Blacksmith Zhang was attracted to this appearance, so he discussed with Su Qingzhu to give him one for free, and he could call and sell it in his own shop in the future. Su Qingzhu agreed without thinking.

Before Yu Feng could say anything, Su Ye took the lead and said, "This is a good thing, I got a slicing artifact for nothing!"

"Slicing Artifact? That's a good name! Try it now!" Su Qingzhu's temper came and went quickly, and when he heard the name, he suddenly became interested.

I have to say, this guy really did not insult the name, with a single cut, the whole radish instantly became a uniform thin slice.

"Haha, how's it going? Great!" Su Qingzhu was as proud as if he had won a lottery, completely forgetting that Su Ye actually came up with this idea.

Su Ya'er's eyes widened, as if seeing a trick, she shouted excitedly: "Cut one more, cut another!"

"okay!"

Su Qingzhu cut one after another with great interest, but within a few sticks of incense time, he finished cutting up all the piled radishes.

In the end, even Yu Feng couldn't hold back, he went up and competed with him to cut several pieces.

-

Su Ye stewed the pork skin and bones in the pot early in the morning, and by noon, it was fragrant and soft, just right to eat.

The freshly made yuba was cut into sections and put into the soup, and the four of them had a delicious meal.

After the meal, Su Qingzhu slumped on the mat and rubbed his stomach, "This food is really delicious, no wonder even the county magistrate is thinking about it!"

These words reminded Su Ye that in the last big fair, he got a lot of meat for nothing, but he didn't have time to make yuba.

Yu Feng also thought about it, and his expression was not very good, "I cooked the meat and salted it, and put it under the south wall. I want to wait for you to come back and eat it together."

Su Ye thought of the reason why he left, and patted Yu Feng on the shoulder comfortingly, "Let's put it away for now, and eat it after the Chinese New Year. Then cut it into thin slices and fry it with dried radish. It smells like bacon, but it's delicious. .”

"Success!" Yu Feng happily agreed.

The two discussed taking time to go to the county to send some stewed bean curd sticks to Mu Feng, Jia Ding, and Bian Huan, and thank them for their care some time ago.

However, there is still a lot of work at home, and Su Ye is still thinking about building a firewall to distribute beans, so she won't be able to get out for a while.

Su Qingzhu volunteered and said: "I'll send it off, I have nothing to do tomorrow."

"Okay, then you'll have to take a trip." Su Ye agreed without even thinking about it. This guy can ride a horse, and he speaks and does things in front of outsiders, which is reassuring.

Su Qingzhu hummed: "If you can often eat such delicious food, let me do anything!"

Yu Feng glanced at him, and said angrily, "Sooner or later, he will be betrayed!"

"If it's delicious and delicious every day, it's okay to sell it!"

The three of them laughed.

-

The last can of soybeans at home was used up when making bean curd sticks. Su Ye originally thought of going to the village to buy some to make bean paste and soy sauce.

But Yu Feng said: "Anyone who wants something will do it. Even if you give money, everyone will not accept it. If you are too outsider, it will hurt your friendship."

Su Ye thought about it, making sauce for everyone to eat together is the same.

After soybeans are coming back,

Su Ye and Yu Feng discussed building a firewall in the kitchen.

"To make bean paste, you need to ferment the beans. It's cold in winter and the beans can't ferment. If you want to raise the temperature, building a fire wall is the easiest and feasible way."

Yu Feng said with a smile: "Just tell me how to build the small page, and I will do it."

Su Ye couldn't help laughing, "Aren't you against it?"

Yu Feng said without hesitation: "You can do whatever Xiaoyezi says, and I will listen to you!"

Su Ye glared at him angrily, and Yu Feng smiled kindly.

Su Ya'er was listening outside the house, blushing involuntarily, he put the radish slices in a sunny place with a sullen head, and left quietly.

In this era, blue bricks can be bought, but they are very expensive, and it is too wasteful to use them to build walls.

Yu Feng picked up a cart of small pieces of gravel from the mountain, and put them together tirelessly. The gaps were filled tightly with thatch and mud.

Su Ye learned about the practice of firewalls while watching a reality show. It is said that some areas in Northeast China use them for heating in winter, and the effect is better than heating.

Since it was used to distribute beans, bamboo baskets needed to be placed on top of the fire wall, so Su Ye deliberately made Yufeng build it only half a person high.The middle is empty, one end is connected to the stove, and the other end leads to the outside, which is used to escape the smoke.

When a fire is lit on the stove, the smoke and heat will flow into the fire wall, and the whole house will be warmed up.

After the fire wall is built, it needs to be aired for two days, and the mud can be used after it dries in the shade.

Meanwhile, Yu Feng washed all the remaining radishes and rubbed them into pieces, and took advantage of the good weather to dry them outside.

Su Ye chose some full-grained beans, soaked them in warm water, and steamed them in the drawer after they swelled.

For the first time, he didn't dare to do too much to avoid wasting food.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, wait for the fire wall to dry, and then you can make fat beans and sauce!

Su Ye couldn't wait any longer.
