Portable Space: Dressing Up as a Little Brother

Shen Yun, Shen Qing and their uncles are also preparing to go home.Before leaving, Shen Daniu also gave them all their wages, including the cousins ​​who also helped a lot and got the money.The others didn't refuse, they all took it.When they left, the family asked them to bring some things back.Xiao Yuer also likes these relatives very much, so he decided to go into the space, take out some of the wine he brewed and the eggs in the space, and distribute them to these families along with other things prepared by Dad and the others. take away.

Because there are not many vegetables sold recently, after the vegetables in the vegetable garden at home were eaten by the people who came to help recently, there was still a little left, so Ah Mo picked them all and shared them with Shen Yun and his family.They can't eat much at home, and it won't take long for them to grow out.In winter, more Chinese cabbage is planted, and some other types of vegetables are no longer suitable for growing in this season.Therefore, the types of vegetables in the vegetable garden at home have decreased a lot recently.

After everyone went back, the house became quiet again.The past month has been really hectic, and the family is exhausted enough.So I took a good rest at home for a few days.There are no other things at home that need to be done immediately, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the family should make preparations a few years ago.

Xiao Yu'er also took a good rest in these few days.Recently, the family has been busy, and he has been busy with it. Even the younger brothers are sometimes assigned a little work.Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and Xiao Yu'er has been lying in bed for the past few days.It is often when the morning food at home is ready that he and his younger brothers get up and eat together.

After a few days of being lazy like this, the family will start preparing for the New Year.The two pigs in the family have been fed for almost a year. Originally, they planned to sell one before the year and kill the other for the Chinese New Year.However, one of them was killed when building the workshop and opening up wasteland this time, and now there are almost half of the head left after eating.Everyone in the family felt that it would be no problem to eat during the Chinese New Year, and the other end would be saved for next spring to be killed again.

Now there is no need to kill pigs in the twelfth lunar month, but there are still things to do.I want to make some tofu at home, otherwise I have to go out and buy it, which is too expensive.This time when Uncle and the others came to help, Grandma asked them to carry some soybeans to Xiao Yuer's house.So there is no need to buy soybeans for making tofu.It's just that the family had discussed some time ago that they would go to the town to buy a cow before the year.

This time the construction of the workshop, because there was no pork to buy, the money previously reserved for the construction of the workshop was not used up.In addition, the materials needed to build the house are all from the mountains, and basically there is no money paid except labor costs, so the family still has some money left.

Years ago, in addition to buying cattle, I had to buy two piglets to raise.And I should also go to the carpenter in the village to help make the ox carts. There will definitely be many places where ox carts will be used next year.This year, I often go to the village head's house to borrow an ox cart. Next year, it will be much more convenient for my own family to have one.

After everyone in the Shen family sat down and sorted out what they had to do recently, they were ready to split up.Grandpa first went to the carpenter in the village to make an ox cart, hoping to do it well before the end of the year.Shen Daniu took Shen Erniu and his brother to the town to buy cows and piglets.Because none of them are very good at picking, they heard that Shen Ning, the youngest son of the village chief's family, would also go to the town, so they wanted to ask him to help take a look.Shen Ning has cattle at home, so he knows what kind of cattle can work.

Shen Daniu and the others rode into the town together in a bullock cart with Shen Ning.Xiao Yu'er is helping Dad, Ah Mo and Uncle at home, and is about to start making tofu.There are many people in the family, so more tofu should be made.We soaked the soybeans first, and used several barrels to soak them.Because a bucket can only soak half a bucket of dry soybeans, and after the soybeans are swollen, there is almost a bucket.

The soaked soybeans will be ground into pulp with water and stone mills.This work is quite tiring, and several people in the family took turns to grind it for two days before finishing it.The soy milk that is ground every day is put into the pot to boil on the same day, and then the forged gypsum is put into it, and it is all made into tofu.In the town, there is a special sale of gypsum that has been forged and then ground into powder, which is specially used to make tofu.On the day Shen Daniu and the others bought the cow, Ah Mo asked him to buy plaster and came back.

When ordering tofu at home, the operator is Ah Mo, who has rich experience.The tofu ordered by Ah Mo was solidified very well, and the old tofu made in the end were very good.Xiao Yu'er just watched from the side, helping pass the spatula from time to time.When the tender tofu is ready, I make a bowl for the children who are watching. If you want to eat sweet, you can add some coarse sugar. If you want to eat salty, you can add some salt, coriander, chili water and other seasonings.

Seeing that everyone likes to eat it, Ah Mo simply used a pot to make tender tofu and saved it for them to eat.Others are made into old tofu, which is easy to store and can be eaten in many ways.

While Xiao Yu'er and the others were busy grinding soybean milk to make tofu, Father and the others also came back from shopping in town that day.They bought a cow that was in the prime of life, and Shen Ning helped to pick it out. After buying it, everyone thought it was very good.The grandfather of the family has already sorted out the chicken pens in the ear room, and is going to use them as cattle pens.There are only a few laying hens left in the big chickens raised at home, so they are all raised in the back mountain with other chickens.

Grandpa spread a thick layer of yellow stalks in the freshly baked cow pens, which can keep warm in winter, and the cows can eat directly when they are hungry.A wooden trough was also set up at the entrance of the pen to feed and water the cattle.Xiao Yu'er felt relieved when she saw that Grandpa was feeding the cows with water from the water tank at home.Most of the water in the water tank at home is the spring water he put in, and only a small part is the water picked up from outside.He would often add space spring water to the water tank that my father and the others had filled up after using up part of it.

Xiao Yu'er thought, if the cow keeps drinking the water from the house after being raised at home, it will definitely become stronger.By next spring, I will have the strength to help the family with work.Father and the others also bought two piglets and put them into the pigpen to raise them.This is the year of the pig next year.

On the day Shen Daniu and the others came back, they told everyone about it during dinner at night.They went to town and stopped by to meet the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper brought back the letter from Lin Zhengze, and also told him the follow-up of the incident of stealing the preserved fruit formula some time ago.

Shen Daniu first gave the letter to Xiao Yu'er and his elder brother, and then started talking about that matter.

According to the shopkeeper, they found out later.Manager Xiong of that casino is the brother-in-law of Chen Fugui, the owner of Fugui Restaurant.That casino has nothing to do with Chen Fugui.It's just that Guanshi Xiong often hears his brother-in-law say that since Jingrong Restaurant started selling preserved fruit, it has robbed many customers of Fugui Restaurant, making Fugui Restaurant more and more deserted.Guanshi Xiong heard a lot, and asked him to find out that Jingrong Restaurant went to Shenjia Village every time it bought goods, so the following things happened.

It's just that if this matter is grasped, Guanshi Xiong will definitely refuse to admit it. Even with Li Qiang's identification, it won't have much effect.So I simply used this matter to find Chen Fugui and have a good talk.I told him that the formula of this preserved fruit has been bought by Jingrong Restaurant.Shen Daniu's family in Shenjia Village is only helping with the production, so if you want to start with the preserved fruit formula, you are really making an enemy of Jingrong Restaurant.

The final result of the negotiation was that Chen Fugui took out 20 taels of silver to compensate Shen Da Niu's family for what his brother-in-law had done.In the future, he will also restrain the members of his family, and no one will provoke the Shen family anymore.Fugui Restaurant and Jingrong Restaurant have been fighting in the arena these years, but it has always been Jingrong Restaurant that wins more and loses less.Fugui Restaurant has always been unable to compete, but Jingrong Restaurant did not think about crowding out other restaurants to survive, so Fugui Restaurant still has customers, but the business is not as good as Jingrong Restaurant.So Chen Fugui didn't want to really break up with Jingrong Restaurant.

Finally, the shopkeeper said to Shen Daniu: "I told Chen Fugui, don't take it to heart that the formula of preserved fruit is here. We will not force you to buy the formula. You only sell preserved fruit at home. Our restaurant is fine. If your family wants to open your own shop to sell candied fruit in the future, there will be no problem. We just hope that other people’s restaurants will not buy from your house. This is what the young master means. The young master knows After the matter of stealing the formula, I was asked to deal with it like this very quickly. I could have let you know as soon as it was finished, but I heard that your family is busy recently, so I didn’t go there for the time being.”

Shen Daniu thanked the shopkeeper, and said: "We won't have any ideas, this time we are helping our Shen family to say this, I can understand. Please thank Mr. Lin for me. Our Shen family has already got him and Shopkeeper, you have taken care of me a lot. In this way, this time we mainly came to buy cattle, and we came in a hurry, so we only brought you some wine, and nothing else. It made you tired and ran up and down , take the 20 taels of silver as a chariot money."

Seeing what he said, the shopkeeper quickly refused.He dare not take money from Shen Daniu now.He didn't even look at how much the Young Master's family attached great importance to the Shen family's affairs, and when he went home, he often kept in touch with the two younger members of the Shen family.It all passed through his hands, and he is quite clear about it.So in matters concerning the Shen family, he will definitely do his best, and he will definitely not take money.
