Xiaofulang's farming space

Xia Qingming rubbed his hair gently with his eyes, "Whatever you need to buy, I'll buy it after the new year"

"I need some ingredients. Star anise, pepper, pepper, cinnamon, and ginger are all needed. Last time I made it myself, I found what I used at home. Brother Xu bought it with money. Naturally, I will do it with my heart. There are also clay pots. Buy three first." Ten, let’s add more after looking at Brother Xu’s sales.”

"Okay, when the time comes you write it down and I'll do it"

"Yeah" Luo Xiaohan nodded happily

The next day was the New Year's Eve, the family got up early and started posting couplets. Xia Qingming and Xiao Man came in after a few firecrackers.

The two chickens were raised by Xiaoxue in the backyard. Xiaoxue usually collects some vegetable leaves and feeds them, and now they are already ripe, and they are running around in the yard. The annoying black horse and yellow mule Just kicking the fence added a lot of fun to Xiaoxue who was feeding the chickens and horses. The black horse hadn't run away for a long time and was very angry. Ride him for a run in the mountains.

After simply eating breakfast, the family started the big project of the New Year's Eve dinner.

The dumplings here are also called Bianshi, which is consistent with Chinese history, but Nirvana is different from modern times. Luo Xiaohan put a little cabbage to relieve the greasy, and the rest are filled with meat. Xia Qingming helped chop the stuffing, put the noodles aside when the noodles were reconciled.

I marinated a pot of sauced meat bones and square meat, and I was going to fry chicken, stew fish, and stir-fry meat dishes with two cold dishes. There are quite a few of them, especially Xia Qingming and Xiaoman, who have amazing appetites and try to ensure that there are no leftovers in every meal.

The dishes were all prepared, and they started to make dumplings. Luo Xiaohan rolled the skins, Xia's brothers and sisters made them, and Xiaoman and Xiaoxue were able to make them. Xia Qingming's big hand made the stuffing as long as it didn't burst out. The man laughed for a while, and then the cat went to light the fire.

Luo Xiaohan looked at the siblings with a smile in his eyes, "Don't bully your elder brother, or my brother-in-law won't give you food."

Xia Qingming immediately straightened his back, "Cough, do you hear me, do more work and less talk"

The whole family finished the meal while laughing and laughing. Luo Xiaohan originally thought about making some fried food for Chinese New Year, but the first thing he thought of was croquettes. Xiaoman occasionally gets hungry when he reads at night, thinking that the croquettes can be put outside When he wanted to eat, he boiled the eggs with some oil and salt, and it was a bowl of nutritious hot soup, which was convenient for hungry, but he also noticed that there was no grater here, so the meatballs could not be made, and finally steamed a few Mash a potato and add some noodles into it, and fry a small pot of pasta, which can also be made like meatballs, and the taste of sweetness is also good. Naturally, this fresh pasta has been highly praised by the whole family.

I fried the pork chops I bought in a hot pan, sprinkled some salt and crushed peppercorns on the oil residue, and the mouths of several people were full of oil, and lunch was settled like this.

"Fill out the meat and ingredients with a strainer, put the soup in a pot, and you can eat the meat aspic tomorrow." The meat is cooked, and there is still a small pot of soup left. He bought the meat and left the pigskin. Thinking about cooking the soup tomorrow, I can eat frozen pork skin, and it’s another dish to go with wine. After I’m done, I can send some to each family to get closer to each other. It’s not a precious thing, and others will naturally It is refusal.

It was the end of Shenshi when all the dishes were ready and on the table, and the sun was about to set. The whole family put the food on the table, wished each other a happy new year, and began to feast on it.

"It's the first time I've eaten such a delicious flat food." Xiao Man's eyes widened in surprise after eating a flat food

"Eat more if it tastes good." Xia Qingming picked up a piece of meat for him, and the fattest fish belly meat for Xiaoxue. "You have worked hard all these years. Xiaoman must study hard, and Xiaoxue must grow up happily."

The two brothers and sisters were so touched, they nodded with warm eyes and gave Xia Qingming the dish they thought was the best.

Xia Qingming took another piece of mutton for Luo Xiaohan and said with a gentle smile, "You too, grow up quickly."

Luo Xiaohan pinched him a fish tail with puffed cheeks.

Xia Qingming smiled, picked it up and ate it carefully.

On New Year’s Eve, there is a night watch for their parents. Although there is no reason for them to watch the night in the two families, they still follow this custom. The five of them sit on the kang and surround the table. The dinner was full, only one of them was eating melon seeds, and nothing else was moving. The kang was very hot, and it was very comfortable to sit on.

Two lamps were lit on the table, and two more were lit in other parts of the room. The room was very bright, Xiao Man was sitting upright reading a book, and Xiao Xue was embroidering a handkerchief with her neck hooked. The pattern Luo Xiaohan had drawn for her was very beautiful. A group of smart white kittens fluttered butterflies among the flowers. The colors were bright, the flowers were overlapping, and there were dozens of beautiful butterflies in the sky. Xiaoxue liked it, so it was done very quickly.

Under the lamp, Luo Xiaohan and Xia Qingming were drawing sketches of the new house to be built, how to build the front yard, how to divide the back yard, how to design the kitchen, and how to design the bedrooms. They use white paper.

After midnight, everyone was sleepy. Xia Qingming said that it was fine to pass the midnight, and let them go to sleep. They also turned off the lights and got under the covers.

"Qingming, after the new year, it's time to build a house. I've read a lot of books about architecture, and I want to ask you, can we build a house with geothermal heat or fire walls?"

"How did you come up with this?"

"What I think is that when we build a house, we can't have three houses with heated kangs. Not to mention Fei Chai, the other two are laborious to heat the kangs that are not connected to the stove, and the charcoal basin is not safe. , you don’t have to think about it in winter.”

"I think if we want to build it, let's build the best one to live in, lest we have to flip it when we have money"

"The big families in the town also use geothermal heat or firewalls. I think someone knows how to build them. I'll go and find out after the new year." Xia Qingming agreed almost without hesitation.

"There is also a bathing room. Xiaoxue must be a sister, and now she can share the same bathing room with us, but no matter how big it is, it will not work. Therefore, each living room needs to have a separate bathing place, and each room must have a separate door. "

"It's better if you are thoughtful, just do it like this, don't have to think about the money, just earn it back."

"Yeah" finished what he wanted to say, Luo Xiaohan felt relieved, and soon fell asleep

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the juniors all wanted to pay New Year's greetings to the elders. The five of them packed up and went to Xia's house to pay New Year's greetings. They ignored Tian Yujiao's yin and yang aura, gave red envelopes to the three younger siblings, and quickly found a reason to say goodbye.

I went to the village chief’s house and went to other elders and friends’ houses. When I came back, some children came to pay New Year’s greetings. Luo Xiaohan filled their pockets with food and fruit, and happily sent them out. Qin Qing came alone, he dared not come in until he saw other children leaving outside the door.

His mother told him that other families don't have to go, but the village chief's and brother Luo's can come.

Seeing him coming in, Luo Xiaohan hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him into the room. Xia Qingming also gave him a red envelope after he shyly greeted him. He talked for a while, and seeing that he was interested in the handkerchief embroidered by Xiaoxue, he asked Xiaoxue to find rags and needles and threads to draw simple patterns for him to learn how to show.

Qin's sister-in-law came to have lunch. Although she intended to keep the two of them for dinner, it was not good on the first day of the new year. Luo Xiaohan brought out a bowl of meat jelly and put it in a basket for Qin's wife to take away. Qing sent a large bowl of fried tofu.

In more than a month, Xiaoman and Xiaoxue's complexion has improved a lot, it is no longer sallow, but whiter, Luo Xiaohan has also gained a little weight, Xia Qingming is satisfied with this.

He himself has already settled down and hasn't changed much. Although he eats well at home, he has to practice boxing every morning, and all he does is physical work, and there is no fat belly.

After the Spring Festival, Xia Qingming went to buy what Luo Xiaohan needed, and asked Xiaoxue to make bean paste with him, but Luo Xiaohan secretly exchanged the onion, ginger, garlic, etc. in the space for what Xia Qingming bought, and secretly added space to the sauce brook.

The news that Xia Qingming was going to build a house was known to everyone in the village. The weather in the south was warm early, and it would be cold sooner or later, so he could stretch his hands. If he was tired from working and sweated, he didn't feel anything in wearing unlined clothes.

The seeds have not been planted yet, so the villagers have plenty of time, and if they have a good relationship, they will come to ask for help. Xia Qingming naturally agreed, and after discussing with Luo Xiaohan, he went to the village chief.

"Twenty copper coins a day, plus a lunch, that's good. Now everyone is at home, and people are easy to gather." "I just need the village head to help me find some workers who are not lazy."

"You can rest assured"

"Also, I found a supervisor and came back. I want to build a house with geothermal heating. When the time comes, I want everyone to listen to the supervisor. I have to explain these things in advance to avoid disputes."

After hearing this, the village chief asked, "Your father also knows about houses with geothermal heat and fire walls. He has worked in the town for many years and is considered experienced. Why didn't you ask your father for help and save the laborers' money?"

Xia Qingming sneered, "How many days have the news of my building a house spread, and how many times have I passed in front of his door to build blue bricks, blue tiles, and blue stone slabs? Did he come to ask me, Xiaohan said it was Dad, is it embarrassing?" I took the initiative to come over, so I went home and asked him. He said he was not in good health and had a cold. The stepmother also told me how much it would cost my father to build a house for others. I didn’t think of using it for nothing. He, after hearing this, I am afraid that he will not help me wholeheartedly under Tian Yujiao's instigation, so I might as well find an outsider to talk to me."

The village chief sighed, "Don't worry, I'll help you watch over this matter, and I won't let him sneak by and cheat."

Xia Qingming took a step back and bowed respectfully, "This house is not only the place where I will settle down in the future, but also a new start for Xiaoman and Xiaoxue. It is also the newlywed house for me and Xiaohan. I don't want anyone to defile it. Please, Uncle Xia bother"

The village chief smiled and waved his hands, "I just need you to put me in the main seat when you set out the wine, and toast me a few more glasses of wine with Fu Lang."

Xia Qingming said seriously, "That's what it should be."
