The daily life of a farmer through farming

When Baishui was guarding the door, the first person who came into view was Xiao Lan, who was trembling on the spot with his arms around his shoulders, and smiled. This young master probably hasn't suffered from the cold yet.

"Ouch, you are an enemy, you still have time to laugh at me, I'm almost freezing to death!" Xiao Lan pushed Baishui away and ran to the back room of Bai's house.

Bai Shui looked at Xiao Lan's trembling back, no matter how much he shouted, he couldn't stop Xiao Lan's determination to rush into the back room.

After all, Jingchuan is still a remote mountain village. Even if everyone is out on weekdays, it is not as lively as the morning market in the town. Now it is colder in the cold winter months, especially at night when the air-conditioning soars. No wonder Xiao Lan would be so restless.

"If you think it's cold, tell me when I go to town tomorrow, why did you come here?" Bai Shui took the ginger water brought by Lu Yu, and handed it to Xiao who was sitting on the kang and shivering. Lan.

Today's Xiao Lan wished he could root himself on the kang, and he spoke to Bai Shui with a bit of resentment, and snorted softly, "Aren't I afraid of delaying your work? Why does it seem like I did something wrong. "Xiao Lan looked at Lu Yu, who had been silent all the time, and laughed, "Look how good your little fish husbandman is, and he knows how to cook ginger water for me, which is completely different from those relatives in your family."

Hearing what Xiao Lan said later, Bai Shui became serious just now, and asked, "But the thing I asked you to pay attention to has progressed?"

Xiao Lan snorted softly, took a few sips of ginger water, and then began to speak slowly, "I was thinking of going to the theater to see a play this afternoon, but who would have thought that your relative came to see me. "

"Is it the two women I told you about earlier?"

Xiao Lan shook her head, "There is a woman who told you about the appearance. She is short and fat, and her eyes are not too big, but she is very fast. However, she is not a woman, but a young man who is about our age." Xiao Lan recalled After what happened this afternoon, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, patted the table, and said, "The woman called that guy a big tiger."

Hearing what Xiao Lan said, Bai Shui guessed a thing or two in his heart, maybe this Wang Zhaodi couldn't believe him, so he secretly took Lu Dahu to the town to find out what Xiao Lan said.

This Wang Zhaodi must be crazy because she wants to make money. She just reached an agreement with herself this morning, so she went to town this afternoon.

Thinking about it carefully, as long as Xiao Lan does not make mistakes, this Wang Zhaodi must have fallen into the circle.

Bai Shui watched his Lu Yu go to play with the lumps of wood again, and he devoted himself to the conversation just now, and asked Xiao Lan nervously, "Are you talking as I told you earlier?"

After getting along with this Xiao Lan for a long time, Bai Shui could no longer classify this funny man as the same person as the previous arrogant and shrewd young master, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Xiao Lan could naturally hear the uneasiness in Bai Shui's words, curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and said, "The woman asked me, but she wanted to charge a hundred catties of dried fish? I'll do as you said, and I definitely didn't make any mistakes for you. .”

Seeing Xiao Lan's dissatisfied expression, Bai Shui also knew that he had gone too far, so he quickly apologized with a smile, "Since you're here, I'll treat you to dinner."

Xiao Lan's complexion improved when he heard that Bai Shui was cooking in person, and said with a smile, "I'm not leaving tonight, let's have a good drink!"

Bai Shui was about to get up and go to the kitchen, but suddenly became frozen in mid-air because of Xiao Lan's words, so funny, he turned his head mechanically and asked Xiao Lan, "What did you just say?"

Xiao Lan thought that Bai Shui really just didn't hear clearly, so she repeated her words in a good mood, "I said I'm not leaving, I'm staying here tonight."

Bai Shui played back the words Xiao Lan said infinitely in his mind, and went to the kitchen with a wooden face. Why does this person play and kiss his fish at night here?How can you play and cuddle with your own fish?Also how to communicate with. . .

As soon as Lu Yu walked into the kitchen, he saw Bai Shui's face that seemed to be collapsing, and felt distressed. It must be because of Wang Zhaodi's affairs these past few days that made Bai Shui tired. He couldn't let Bai Shui mess around at night. He heard Zhao Shu say that such a thing Although comfortable, but too much will hurt the body.

"Why don't you carve wood carvings?" Bai Shui watched Lu Yu walk to him in silence, and said softly, "I'll make you a lion head tonight."

"Lion's head?" Lu Yu heard such a strange food name from Bai Shui's mouth for the first time, and couldn't help following behind Bai Shui curiously, watching Bai Shui cook.

Bai Shui went down to the cellar alone, and took out the water chestnuts that he bought in the town as early as autumn. Water chestnuts are a common food in the paddy fields, and can be used as fruits or vegetables.

Water chestnuts grow in paddy fields, and there are many dry fields in Jingchuan, so few people eat them. Baishui was wandering in the town that day, and it was also a coincidence that he met a vendor and bought some as a winter snack.

The wild water chestnuts are dark purple. Due to the winter collection, the freezing weather increases the sugar content of the water chestnuts. It is extremely sweet in the mouth. You can smell the fresh earthy aroma when you cut it with a knife. The taste is even more crunchy and delicious when you bite it many.

During the period, Bai Shui accidentally caught sight of the greedy expression of his own fish with his eyes, and secretly gave that silly fish a piece to try.

"This food tastes better hot than cold, so I haven't brought it out. If you like it, there is still in the cellar. If you get hungry, go wash it and eat it for fun."

After Lu Yu finished eating a piece, he gave him some white water, but he refused, "No, since this food will taste better, I won't eat it like this."

After finishing speaking, he helped Bai Shui to fight, and didn't ask for Xiaozao anymore.

Seeing the raised eyebrows, Bai Shui began to prepare his own dishes. Chop the water chestnuts with a knife, mix them into the minced meat that had already been minced by Lu Yu, add a little egg white, rice wine, starch, a little salt, and add scallions and ginger. To enhance the flavor, knead into meatballs.

Put the kneaded meatballs into the oil pan and fry until both sides are yellow, add the broth.During the period, do not forget to add soy sauce, sugar, etc., and then simmer over low heat, then put it on a plate, and use the Chinese cabbage in the cellar as a foil. The combination of red and green is a visual enjoyment.

"Hey, Baishui, you have hidden your special skills!" After Xiao Lan woke up on the heated kang, he smelled the scent of water chestnuts and lion heads brought by Baishui and put them on the dining table, and his warmed body instantly became energetic. , jumped down from the heated kang with a stride, and said with a little bitterness on his mouth, "How come I haven't seen you bring such a fragrant thing to Yipinzhai to sell! You are a ghost, how did the gods put Xiaoyu Fu Lang gave you a ration, I really have pity on him."

"No, my Baishui is not as bad as Mr. Xiao said, he, he is fine." Hearing Xiao Lan's half-joking words, Lu Yu was a little dissatisfied. His own Baishui is so good, God gave himself to him, it was him Luyu's greatest happiness!

Hearing Lu Yu's words of protecting the calf, Bai Shui moved him into his arms, and said to the joking Xiao Lan, "The quantity of these water chestnuts is too small, I think my husband must like to eat them, if I take them to town again , can’t sell for much, and my husband still can’t eat it.”

After hearing this, Xiao Lan waved her hands quickly, and said, "I'm just joking, don't be angry, little fish husbandman." If you make your uncle angry, can he still get Wenyue?Xiao Lan secretly wished she could slap her mouth.

"Haha, it's okay, but Xiao Lan, you have to be careful in the future. If you continue to make trouble, you may not be able to come to my house." Bai Shui settled Lu Yu and Xiao Lan, and then sat down, "Come on, have a taste .”

Bai Shui took the lead in clipping a lion's head to Lu Yu, watched the fish move its nose and sniff the smell of the lion's head in the bowl, and then took a bite, his eyes lit up, nodded at Bai Shui, and started to eat again .

Xiao Lan here also tasted it, and kept nagging, "I'll buy more water chestnuts next autumn, so just do it, and it will be popular."

The time passed quickly, and Bai Shui, who had eaten and drank wine, carried Xiao Lan, who was already drunk like mud, into his main room.

In that room, when Bai Shui and Xiao Lan were drinking, Lu Yu manually built a wooden bed. According to Lu Yu's idea, Xiao Lan slept on the kang, so where would he and Bai Shui sleep?Although the visitor is a guest, anyone who says that their white water is not good is a bad person.

Therefore, Xiao Lan spent his drunken night in the main room, and Bai Shui was not much better. Although no one disturbed him to be intimate with Lu Yu, Lu Yu was very uncooperative tonight.

Said that he was afraid that Bai Shui would hurt himself if he often did those things, and he let Bai Shui act coquettishly or act softly, Lu Yu was determined, and Bai Shui had no choice but to fall asleep pitifully with his own fish in his arms.

In the morning, when Bai Shui got up, Xiao Lan had disappeared, only a note was found on the table, the general meaning of the note was to thank Bai Shui for his hospitality and in order not to make Wang Zhaodi suspicious, he left first to avoid trouble .

Because Aunt Mi's house made rice cakes, Lu Yu went to Aunt Mi's house after breakfast, and Bai Shui went to Yipinzhai to cook as usual.

After three days of neither salty nor bland, Wang Zhaodi couldn't wait to find Baishui.

This morning, the sky was gray and the clear sunlight was gone. Occasionally, fine snow drifted in. The smoke from houses made the sky even more dull, like a sleepy night.

After Bai Shui cleared the snow in his yard, he thought about taking Lu Yu for a stroll around the town. There were only a few days before the new year, and Bai Shui was planning to buy some unprepared New Year's goods, and quietly and Lu Yu After this is his first year in Jingchuan.

"Am I overdressed?" Lu Yu stepped onto his own oxcart with difficult steps, because the clothes were too heavy, his movements were as slow as a puppet's.

Bai Shui told Lu Yu, "It seems that the weather is going to change, you should wear more clothes to avoid catching cold."

"How could I catch a cold casually, and I'm not a child." Lu Yu said with an awkward tone.

Bai Shui raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and said, "Hey, I can't control you anymore, you can do whatever you want, don't catch a cold during the Chinese New Year, you won't be able to eat anything, then don't blame me."

As soon as Bai Shui said this, Lu Yu, who usually loves to eat, became completely quiet, and finally wrapped his mouth with a scarf, his clumsy appearance was very cute.

When they arrived at Yipinzhai, Bai Shui asked Lu Yu to learn how to manage the accounts with shopkeeper Xu, while Bai Shui did the usual work.

It was supposed to be a quiet day, but because of Wang Zhaodi's arrival, it became extremely irritable.

"Lu Yu, I'm still looking for you. There's no one in your house, so I just wanted to come here." As soon as Wang Zhaodi entered Yipinzhai, she found a good seat and sat down. At the same time, she didn't forget to stamp the snow on her feet. Seeing that Lu Yu didn't speak, he rolled his eyes and called Bai Shui's name, "Bai Shui, I'm here with something, you kid won't lie to me!"

Zhang Shi and Lu Dahu who followed behind Wang Zhaodi were much quieter, just sitting at the table drinking hot water, with embarrassment on their faces, as if they wanted to distance themselves from such a rude woman like Wang Zhaodi.

Hearing Wang Zhaodi's voice, Baishui washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen, "Auntie, what are you doing today?" The matter was still going on, and Baishui knew that it was not time to tear up his face, so he also treated Wang Zhaodi politely when he spoke.

Upon hearing Bai Shui's words, Wang Zhaodi instructed Lu Dahu to open the big sack on the ground.

When Baishui saw the contents in the sack, he was shocked.
