The daily life of a farmer through farming

A huge folded cotton pad appeared in front of Bai Shui.

"This is for you, sit under your butt, I'm afraid you won't get used to the bumpy road down the mountain." Lu Yu never dared to look directly at Baishui when speaking, wandering around with dark eyes, and then thought of something and continued, "This is a blessing Uncle told me in the morning."

"Oh, thank you." Bai Shui took the cushion and sat directly under his buttocks. The soft touch felt like sitting on a sofa. Looking at Lu Yu who was a little embarrassed, he chatted with him without saying a word. Uncle Liu also came to chime in.

"Bai Shui, do you feel comfortable staying in Jingchuan now?" Uncle Liu swung his whip at the cow's buttocks and beat it hard, only to hear the old cow mooing pitifully, and walked faster.

"Well, this place is good, where there are mountains and waters." He just didn't know if the Lu family would come to make trouble in the future, but he still remembered the gossip woman Wang Zhaodi he met that day.

Uncle Liu took the gourd from his waist, drank the water with a "gudong" and "gudong", and then said, "That's good, live a good life, you two must be the same, this luyu is the big one I saw when I was young." , conduct is much better than those relatives in their family, and you need to treat him well."

Bai Shui glanced at Lu Yu, the fish was still looking in another direction, but the tender ears were red, maybe it was hot, so he withdrew his thoughts.

"Hey, I definitely want to treat him well." That fish is so honest, if he doesn't take good care of him, he will definitely be bullied. It's fine if he was bullied before, because he wasn't by his side. Now if someone else When he bullies this honest man in Baishui's face, he will be the first to not let him go!

These people chatted a lot about the village along the way, and Bai Shui also learned more about Jingchuan, but Bai Shui was still a little at a loss for this silent and honest man in front of him.

"Here, I'll go buy clothes for my mother-in-law. You young couple can go to work. I'll be here waiting for you two at noon."

After saying goodbye to Uncle Liu, Bai Shui and Lu Yu went to the town together.

The town is not as sparsely populated as Jingchuan, and now the bustling crowd, as well as the various hawking noises, make Bai Shui confused. This is the first time he "sees the world" since he traveled here.

He and Lu Yu found a good place to sell, and began to help Lu Yu open the package that he had been holding in his arms all the time, and placed the wood carvings one by one on the paved ground.

Looking at the lifelike wood carvings, Bai Shui couldn't help admiring Lu Yu's careful and exquisite knife workmanship. After time, the ordinary wood bumps were moistened, and the carving knife's fine cutting became one by one. Extraordinary work.

"We just stand like this?"

"Otherwise?" Lu Yu was stunned by Bai Shui's question, but he thought of something, and whispered, "If you are tired, find a teahouse or a theater to have a rest. You don't have to pay for it until I sell it out." Just go to you and give them some money." Why is he so careless, Bai Shui, a man who was born as a young master, has never shown his face before, so it's good to be calm.

"I don't mean that, I mean you shouldn't do this in your business." Bai Shui was almost speechless, why did this honest Lu Yu have so many thoughts, and asked himself to go to the theater and drink tea, be good, I'm afraid if I go, I'm afraid Today's morning is white again, and there is a possibility of losing some money, "Look at those peddlers next to you, who is standing there stupidly like you, you have to learn how to sell, just watch."

Sure enough, under the sound of Baishui's yelling, more and more people came to see Lu Yu's small stall with wooden carvings, playing and admiring them, and some rich people came to ask.Speaking of this woodcarving, if these small peasants are allowed to buy it, I am afraid that they will not be able to sell it for the rest of their lives. More importantly, they should focus on those wealthy merchants and wealthy merchants.

Bai Shui was originally good at doing business, but now he is like a fish in water in ancient times. In the past, Lu Yu worked so hard to sell three woodcarvings for silver coins, but now Bai Shui only needs to sell one to pay for him. He couldn't help but look at the handsome man beside him in surprise. It is said that good-looking men only spend money?How can this man make money so well?

"Why are you so good? I never thought that my woodcarvings could be sold for a tael of silver." Only five woodcarvings were sold for so much silver. It seems that there will be more carvings in the future, so that he can make money every day. Now that he has eaten food worthy of him, he has always been concerned about the way Bai Shui ate black-faced steamed buns that day.

"It's not my strength, it's your things that are valuable."

"I've only sold a few pennies in the past, and this is the first time I've received silver, so keep it for you!" As he spoke, he was about to take out the silver hidden in his robe.

"Wait a minute, this family always needs someone to take care of the money. From now on, you take care of the money and I make money. It's good." Bai Shui smiled, but found that Lu Yu was stunned, and said, "Take me to see the biggest place here. restaurant!"

That's the purpose of this trip.

Lu Yu and Bai Shui walked to the largest restaurant in the town, "Yipinzhai", before they entered, they heard the quarrel inside, so they couldn't help but went to have a look.

"Fortunately, you are still the biggest restaurant here. The steamed fish is so unpalatable, is it to bully us outsiders who don't know how to eat?"

Before approaching Yipinzhai, Baishui heard the noisy quarrels in the room, and the voice of the little boy apologizing from time to time.

When I went in, I saw a group of middle-aged men pointing at a small plate of steamed fish and making irresponsible remarks. There were more and more people watching the fun, and they turned their heads and said to Lu Yu, "Follow me closely. , don’t lose it.” Leaving this sentence behind, he walked straight forward, without seeing Lu Yu’s outstretched little white hand.

"This fish is so unpalatable, are you willing to put it up? You still charge us so much money." The man with the toughest appearance among the group of diners still refused to let go, and the scar on his face moved according to his generous speech. , entrenched on that dark face like a poisonous insect alive.

"I'm really sorry, guest officer, our cook has not returned home after taking leave of absence. Now it's the chef's apprentices who are doing things, and there will inevitably be mistakes. Please bear with me." The shop waiter said to everyone. Explaining, while wiping his face with a long face towel hanging around his neck, and seeing the sweat on his face like a waterfall, he was afraid that he was frightened by the battle, "Our shopkeeper said, we will pay for whatever we want .”

"Joke, did we come to this restaurant to extort money? It's nothing more than wanting to eat something good with the brothers." It seemed that the words of the shop waiter insulted the knife-scarred man and his group, and everyone looked angrily and kept wiping Khan's shop waiter.

The shop waiter didn't know what to say, neither up nor down, the whole situation was so embarrassing, just when the shopkeeper was about to come over, Bai Shui took a step ahead, took out a pair of clean chopsticks from the chopstick cage, and put a piece of fish in it. In his mouth, regardless of everyone's reaction, he raised his eyebrows and tasted it.

This taste is indeed missing something, which makes such a delicious catfish lack the fat and smoothness it should have, and a good food is wasted.

"If this fish is steamed instead of stewed, it will have a different taste." Bai Shui had been in Shanghai before, and he had seen many people, so he was not afraid of everyone's scrutiny, calm and composed, with a smile on his face. Full of ambition.

"Heh! It's as if you, a poor scholar, know a lot. It's not that the elder brother looks down on you. Have you ever been in the kitchen with your innocent appearance?"

Everyone laughed, they were all laughing at this handsome scholar who could only talk about the truths in books, who would live by books in this ordinary family, naturally they all regarded Bai Shui's words as a joke

It's just that Lu Yu next to him is uncomfortable, and he is busy going forward to argue, but Bai Shui holds his hand. Seeing Bai Shui is not annoyed, but he himself is angry. Thinking about his hands being wrapped in Bai Shui's palms, the roots of his ears It's getting hot again.

"How do you know I've never cooked before?" Bai Shui smiled and said to the shopkeeper next to him, "Shopkeeper, can I borrow the kitchen for a while? Don't be too busy looking down on me. Wait until I finish this meal. It’s not too late to draw conclusions.”

The blue and white body of catfish is born in running water, while the blue and yellow body is born in still water. The best choice for stewed catfish is the blue and white body.

Bai Shui picked out a blue-white catfish from a large pot of live fish in the kitchen. He heated the oil in the pot and fried it for a while, then poured a small bowl of rice wine into the pot to saute until fragrant. Sweeping the entire kitchen, it also invaded the noses of the spectators. There were a few applause at the beginning, and then bamboo shoots, cabbage, eggplant and other vegetables were thrown in. Finally, refined salt, fine sugar, and a little ginger were used to collect the juice at high temperature, and covered Put the lid on and simmer for half an hour.

As time passed, the smell of catfish in the big iron pot drifted out along the cracks of the lid, and fell on the tip of people's noses one by one. Everyone no longer looked down on Baishui, but looked at it with admiration. Especially the guys who laughed at Baishui before were a little bit embarrassed, but they were still waiting for the catfish to come out of the pot.

"Wait a little longer and the pot will come out. We'll go home after we're done." Bai Shui looked at Lu Yu who had been sitting quietly at the table, walked up to him and poured him a bowl of tea, fearing that Lu Yu would be in a hurry. up.

"I still need to buy some things." Lu Yu spoke concisely, and then slowly drank the bowl of tea poured with white water.

Bai Shui was thinking about the time, thinking that it should be time to open the pot and put it into the pot. He opened the pot under everyone's inquisitive eyes. When the lid was lifted, everyone seemed to stop breathing. Fragrant smell.

Since it was served on the table, the big man took a bite of the fish with chopsticks. During this time, everyone turned their eyes to the fastidious big man, waiting for the big man's reply.Especially Luyu next to Baishui, not as relaxed and confident as Baishui, as if he made the stewed catfish.

The big man took a mouthful first, and then another mouthful after another. The shopkeeper couldn't stand it any longer, so he also took a chopstick. His originally tense eyebrows relaxed, and he took another mouthful.

"Wonderful! Really wonderful! This fish is smooth and tender, elegant but not greasy, it is absolutely delicious!" The shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Bai Shui. He didn't expect this man with a book-like appearance to be so good at cooking. The taste of this fish is enough. Absolutely!He is more powerful than the chef who has worked in his family for decades, and he is calculating.
