Through the small days of farming

There were some dried mushrooms at home, Bai Niannian found them out, soaked them in hot water for a while, washed them, cut them in half, and used them to cook chicken soup.

The inedible parts of the pheasant are removed, and it looks like four or five catties. It is full of fat, and there is not much lard in the house. He peeled off all the fat from the chicken and put it in a small bowl for him to eat. The bowl used is half the size of the bowl, and it is used for frying oil. The oil can be used for cooking, and the oil residue can also be eaten as a snack, or added to the dish and fried together. It tastes good.

Put half of the chicken that is going to be bacon into the cabinet, then divide the remaining half into two, use a quarter to cook chicken soup, and fry the other quarter directly.

The chicken with perilla, onion, ginger and garlic is so fragrant that the two cubs are drooling, and they stare at the pot without blinking.

"Little greedy cat, wash your hands quickly, you can eat later." Holding the spatula in one hand, Bai Niannian tapped the noses of the two cubs with the other, and said, "Go and get two bowls after washing your hands."

"Brother, bowl!" The two cubs each held a bowl, Mingde raised his little face and looked at him with sparkling eyes, Mingli also looked at him silently.

Bai Niannian took the bowl and said, "Good boy, I will reward you with two more pieces of chicken later, we will eat it tomorrow."

"Give brother two rewards too!" Mingde clenched his fist and said excitedly, "Brother is the best, brother, don't you think so?"

"En!" Ming Li also blushed with excitement, and nodded heavily.

Bai Niannian smiled and nodded, expressing that he understood, and quickly put the fried chicken in the pot into two bowls, and asked the two cubs in the family to send the bowl with a little more to Aunt Chen. At home, I burned a fire and fried a vegetable, fried the vegetables, served the rice, cleaned the pot, and was watching how the chicken soup boiled in the pot was. When adding charcoal, the two little guys came back holding hands. There was also a small basket in his hand.

"Come in, it's cold outside." Bai Niannian took the basket in his hand, closed the door, and blocked the cold wind outside, "What is this?"

"This is the dried vegetables that Aunt Chen gave us."

"Dried vegetables?"

"Aunt Chen said that if we don't want it, they don't want our chicken either, so we brought it back." Seeing that his brother didn't speak, Chen Mingli quickly explained.

"It's okay, bro, I didn't blame you, bro, I was just thinking about something just now." Bai Niannian took off the top lid, and there were three bundles of well-preserved dried vegetables inside. He remembered that when he was young, his grandmother made ribs soup Sometimes, I always like to put some dried vegetables in it, it tastes good.

He let the two cubs go to eat first, and he took a small bundle of dried vegetables to wash, cut into small pieces, and added them to the jar.

Seeing that the two cubs were still waiting for him to eat, he was happy, and said, "Didn't I let you eat first? Next time, you don't have to wait for me, you can eat first when you are hungry."

The two little guys gave an 'hmm' and smiled at each other.

Bai Niannian pretended not to notice their small movements, picked up a few pieces of chicken for the two cubs, looked at their sallow and thin faces, the plan to make money must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

As for the cubs, they should be raised to be fat and fat.

There is no such thing as bean sprouts here. Although it is not the time when there are no green vegetables, it is still a fresh ingredient. There should be a market for selling it in the town, right?It also takes a few days to germinate bean sprouts, so he will prepare them later.

When he went to the town, he also saw some people selling some fruits and fresh mushrooms from the mountain, but this season, there are basically no mushrooms on the mountain. The person who sells mushrooms may know a certain place that still grows mushrooms at this time Yes, there are some on Yeguozi Mountain, but they are not worth a lot of money.

However, he has space, and this deal can be done.

After the meal, the two cubs rushed to help wash the dishes, Bai Niannian thought about it, and let them go, good man quality should be cultivated from an early age.

He went to dig out the mung beans and soybeans in the house and found them. They didn't grow soybeans. The two catties of soybeans were given to them by Aunt Chen for a taste. The mung beans were grown by themselves. A lot, about ten catties.

When it comes to growing soybeans, it is too hard to harvest soybeans. One brother and two cubs of him can't do the job, so they all grow mung beans.

Pick out the shriveled or damaged mung beans little by little, leaving only plump mung beans.

After the two cubs finished washing the dishes, they also came to help Chen Mingde asked curiously, "Brother, why did we choose this?"

Bai Niannian smiled, showing two small white teeth, "You will know in a few days, whether our family can eat meat every day depends on them. When you are ready, when brother is not at home, remember Water once in the morning and evening, don’t need to water too much, I’ll teach you when I’m done.”

"Yeah, we will study hard!" Thinking of the days when he could eat meat every day in the future, Chen Mingli and Chen Mingde made up his mind to take good care of them!

The speed of the three picking together was much faster than Bai Niannian's alone. He directed the two cubs to wash them clean, while he went to find the two big jars in the house, and he even took the rice container. Not letting go, the bathtub where the two cubs bathed was also requisitioned.

However, even if he found all the containers in the house, he found that it was not enough.

There are not so many places to put five catties of mung beans, what a mistake.

In the end, he tried to use branches to layer the containers, so he barely prepared all the mung beans. On the top, he used the clean cloth removed from their old clothes, wet them and spread them on the mung beans, and put them in a ventilated and cool place. place.

I dipped my hands in water and sprinkled it on. There should not be too much water at the bottom. It is enough to pour some water in the morning and evening. I taught the two cubs and watered each of the three together.

When Bai Niannian was looking through the roasted sweet potatoes, the two little guys, one was feeding the chicken, the other was adding charcoal to the chicken soup, and they were working together.

Bai Niannian smiled, and turned over the roasted sweet potato so that one side would not be burnt and the other side would not be dry.

After eating and drinking enough to finish the work, take a bath, and lie on the bed with two cubs lying beside him, Bai Niannian was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep.

The two cubs also looked more energetic. No one was sleepy yet. He peeled off all the oil from the chicken and did not add oil when frying the chicken. The half-fried and half-boiled chicken was not very greasy, and the two This little guy is also very measured, and they can control themselves when there is not much chicken. They eat a few pieces by themselves, and they don't want to eat anything.Bai Niannian thought not to eat too much greasy food at once, so he did as they wanted.

It was originally half a bowl of chicken, and there was still half a bowl left.

In this kind of weather, I am not afraid that the vegetables will be spoiled. It is no problem to leave them for a day or two.

The chicken soup has been simmered for several hours, and it can be eaten when I get up tomorrow. If I eat noodles for breakfast and cook them in chicken soup, he thinks he can eat two big bowls of the delicious taste.

The problem is that there is no fine and precious thing like fine flour at home.Thinking of the thirty Wen money left at home, he felt a little sad.

The quilt that is covered now is clean, but when it was covered, it was hard and not warm enough. Their house also needs a new quilt. Thinking about all kinds of messy things, the things to be sold add up to [-] Wen It is estimated that it is enough. If you can still use it now, you will have to endure it for a while. When the mung bean sprouts grow well, their family will have money.

After thinking about it, Bai Niannian fell asleep.Wake up early the next morning, brush your teeth and wash your face, heat up chicken soup, cook porridge, put the dried sweet potatoes back to the place where the charcoal fire is strong, and go out to pick vegetables.

As soon as the door was opened, the mist outside hadn't disappeared, Bai Niannian shuddered, closed the door, held the basket, endured the chill when the dew touched his hands, and picked the green vegetables that he ate at night , to save the two cubs from having to come out in the evening.

After picking most of the vegetables in the bamboo basket, Bai Niannian felt that his hands were going to be numb from the cold, and he was relieved when he returned to the house. He wiped off the dew on his hands, and only washed the vegetables with warm water when his hands were not so cold.

I went to check the growth of mung bean sprouts again, and sat on a small wooden stool to watch the fire and cook porridge.

Half an hour had passed since the porridge was cooked, and the two cubs hadn't gotten up yet, so Bai Niannian took the opportunity to put two bamboo baskets from home into the space.

When the two little ones got up, he started cooking, had a full meal, drank hot chicken soup before going out, explained the family affairs, and Bai Niannian went out.

You can't go in the deep mountains, but you can go to the nearby mountains. People often go to pick chestnuts and hawthorns. The family doesn't have much money, so it's not bad to pick them up as snacks for the children.

No, Bai Niannian met a few of the same companions at the entrance of the village.

"Mingren's family, are you also going to pick chestnuts on the mountain?" Li Shenshi, the daughter-in-law of Li Daniu who lives in the village, greeted warmly.

"Well, Maverick's is so early." Bai Niannian responded.

"It's getting late, the sun is coming out soon, let's go together, there are multiple people to take care of us."

"Well," Bai Niannian replied generously, "I may not be back so early, I want to pick more and bring them to the town to sell tomorrow to make some money for my family."

"It's nothing." Li Chenshi waved his hand indifferently, "It's not far from the village. If you shout, you can hear it in the village."

When the last person arrived, the five of them set off together, chatting and laughing along the way, Bai Niannian occasionally said a word or two, and most of the time he quietly listened to their gossip about the village.

There were three or four tall and big chestnut trees growing in that place. They didn't need to knock the chestnuts down with bamboo poles, and the chestnuts blown down by the wind were enough for them to pick up.

There is a layer of sharp thorns on the outside of the chestnut, which can stab your hand if you are not careful, so people in the village don't like to pick chestnuts very much.

At the beginning, Bai Niannian had a rough hand and was stabbed several times. Later, he became more careful and careful, so he didn't get stabbed, only occasionally.

The others picked up half a basket of chestnuts and went back, only Bai Niannian was left here to pick up the chestnuts. He took out the chestnuts and put some chestnuts into the space.

The bamboo basket was almost full, and a large pile was piled up in the space. He took out the cloth bag he brought from home, went to the nearby hawthorn tree, and picked a hawthorn to eat. It was sweet and sour, and the taste was not bad. A large area next to it is hawthorn trees, and the cloth bag is half full, and the space is almost filled secretly.

Bai Niannian crossed her hips, looking at the space and the bags and bamboo baskets at her feet, feeling a sense of accomplishment in her heart, these are all money!
