The time is getting colder day by day, and when we wake up in the morning, the dew outside begins to turn into hoarfrost.

This morning, Zhao Shanshi woke up and stretched out his arms to test the temperature outside. As soon as his fingertips felt the cold air outside, he quickly retracted them.

Li Ping looked at him and laughed lightly, Zhao Shanshi slept next to him, feeling the vibration of his chest very clearly.

Zhao Shanshi stretched out his foot and kicked him, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm not laughing." Li Ping looked at him, "Sleep a little longer?"

"Forget it, I don't want to sleep anymore, lest Erhua and the others come over later, and I haven't gotten up yet." Zhao Danshi stretched out the tip of his arm again, and then retracted it, lying under the quilt and sighing, "Winter under the quilt It’s so comfortable, I really want to grow up in the bed.”

"Excellence!" Li Ping scolded with a smile, he reached out and took out the remote control from the drawer, turned on the air conditioner, and waited for the temperature to warm up before they got up again.

"It's just so promising, what's the matter?" Zhao Danshi reached into Li Ping's pajamas and touched his tight abdominal muscles, "By the way, senior brother, when you pick vegetables later, remind Uncle Mingzhi to deliver them to us tomorrow." Come five pigs."

There are a lot of them now, and Zhao Danshi plans to make more bacon and sausages. It doesn't matter if you can't finish them. When the time comes, relatives and friends will send some, and then give some to fans, and it's basically over.

"Ah."

The two of them waited for the temperature of the room to rise before they began to put on their clothes and get up.

Zhao Danshi glanced at DouDou, DouDou was still sleeping, with his small fists on his side, his mouth slightly open, sound asleep.

The two of them went out to wash up side by side, Zhao Danshi let out a long breath, and white air came out of his mouth.

He looked at the weather, "I guess I can go up the mountain to dig winter bamboo shoots in two days."

In this season, dig a few fresh and tender winter bamboo shoots, stir-fry them with meat, and simply sprinkle some fresh salt on them to serve with rice.To make it more complicated, various ingredients such as diced bamboo shoots, diced chicken, diced peppers, and celery segments are fried in a pan and stored in a small jar, and a little bit is added to the porridge, which tastes very delicious.

"It's true that bamboo shoots can be dug, and the lotus root in our pond can almost be dug."

"Yes." Zhao Shanshi counted with his fingers, "We have almost eaten up the rice flower fish in the rice fields. I think we can catch the fish in the pond and start eating."

After they talked, they finished washing, Li Ping went to pick vegetables in the vegetable field, and Zhao Danshi stayed at home to make breakfast.Yao Jingming also got up after a while. After washing in a hurry, he took a basket from the utility room and went to pick vegetables in the vegetable field.

Yao Jingming likes to pick vegetables very much now. In his words, picking vegetables can bring him a different sense of accomplishment.

After a while, the three apprentices also came, and Zhao Shanshi called them back, "When you are going to feed the goats, squeeze some goat milk and drink goat milk porridge in the morning."

Several ewes ate well and slept well with them. Not only the quality of milk production has improved, but also the amount of milk has also increased. Up to now, the amount of milk has not decreased at all.

They usually squeeze in the morning and evening every day. In the morning, after breakfast, Ya Zimei goes to feed the chickens and pick up eggs, and squeezes the goat milk by the way. If Zhao Danshi wants to cook goat milk porridge, he will also let them milk the milk.

"Understood, Master." Zhao Mingtai leaned over, "Master, what else do we eat besides goat milk porridge in the morning?"

"What do you want to eat?"

Zhao Mingtai came over, "Quicksand buns. Master, let's make some quicksand buns. I haven't eaten that for a long time."

"That won't work," Zhao Shanshi glanced at him, "It's too late today, I don't have time to make that, and I soaked rice, so I'll eat rice sausage this morning."

Rice sausage is quite troublesome, and Zhao Danshi doesn't make it often.

Their rice sausages are also delicious. The good rice grown in the paddy fields, add some glutinous rice, and the rice pulp is sweet and smooth. It is made into rice sausages, with eggs, diced eggplant, or Capers, or shredded radish, no matter which flavor it is, it is so delicious that people can't wait to swallow their tongues together.

As soon as Zhao Mingtai heard about eating this in the morning, Zhao Mingtai had no objection, and he happily responded, "Okay, Master, I'll feed the sheep right away, and I'll come down later to grind the rice milk for you."

"You don't need it, just come down after feeding the sheep."

There is a small stone mill in the courtyard of the Zhao family, which is very convenient for grinding some soybeans and rice grains. His rice is swollen again, so just grind it casually.

After sending his apprentices up the mountain to feed the sheep, Zhao Shanshi went to see if Doudou was awake.

Just in time, as soon as he walked in, Doudou woke up rubbing his eyes.Seeing his sleepy look, Zhao Danshi rubbed his soft hair and kissed him on the forehead, "Good morning, Dou Zai."

Doudou giggled, showing six teeth, looked at Zhao Danshi, and suddenly said, "Dad."

This time he spoke clearly, and it was obvious that he was calling Dad.

"Huh?" Zhao Danshi lifted his spirits, lifted Doudou up to his eyes, and met his bright black eyes, "Douzi, what did you call me?"

Thinking that his father was playing with him, DouDou let out a short "ha" sound and giggled.

Zhao Shanshi lifted him up, "My dear son! Call again. Come, Dad."

Babbling around, "Dad."

"Good boy!" Zhao Danshi hugged Doudou excitedly and spun around in circles. He couldn't wait to run out to find the old man: "Grandpa, grandpa, DouDou will call you Dad now!"

The old man raised his head and regained his energy, "Oh?"

Zhao Danshi shook the Doudou in his hand, "Doudou, call again, come, call Dad."

Doudou tilted his little head, looked at Zhao Danshi for a while, and spoke again, articulate, "Dad!"

Zhao Danshi smiled excitedly at the old man, "Grandpa, did you hear that? Doudou really knows how to call Dad."

"I heard it." The old man's wrinkles stretched out, and he stretched out his hand to take Doudou, "We Doudou are so good, come on, call Grandpa to come and listen."

DouDou looked at the old man, opened his mouth, and finally spit out a bubble of saliva.

Zhao Danshi laughed heartily, he reached out to take Doudou, took him to change the diaper, and coaxed him to urinate by the way.

Doudou is still young and doesn't know how to brush his teeth by himself. Every morning and evening, Zhao Danshi needs to wash his hands and wipe his teeth with clean gauze to avoid causing milk caries.

DouDou thought that his father was playing games with him again, so he opened his mouth and bit Zhao Danshi's finger with a whirring sound. Zhao Danshi had to squeeze DouDou's little cheek and took out his finger, "You can't bite, Doudou."

In peacetime, Zhao Danshi must have slapped Doudou's little butt to help him get rid of this bad habit. Today's Doudou is so cute, Zhao Danshi's stupid father's heart is ready to move, and he has been reluctant to deal with his son.

This day, I even put the rice grinder beside me, watching my precious son from time to time while grinding.

The old man was helping him scoop up the rice. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What's the matter? Finally tasted a little bit of the addiction of being a father?"

"It's a bit." Zhao Danshi glanced at the little Doudou next to him, "Grandpa, why do you think Doudou is so cute? No matter how you look at it, you are so cute."

"That is, your own son." The old man smiled, "When you watch him learn to walk, run, and pester you to ask questions, you should take good care of him and teach him, and gradually you will find him more and more cute."

Zhao Shanshi nodded with a smile, "I will definitely teach him well."

He is most fortunate now that he gritted his teeth and left DouDou back then, and now he has this little DouDou cub who can be called Dad by people around him.

The silly father, who was full of fatherly love, finished grinding the rice milk, and personally steamed a sweet rice soup for Xiao Doudou.

This rice soup is steamed with goat's milk, and honey is put in it. The steamed rice soup is fragrant and sweet, let alone go around, even Zhao Danshi and the others feel greedy when they look at this rice soup.

"Master, why don't we have some rice soup sometime?"

"You are such a big man, eat a fart."

"That's not what you said. Master, didn't you say that rice soup is the most nourishing, let's steam it and try it?"

Zhao Danshi was in a good mood today, so he couldn't help but toss it softly, and finally diverted a little rice milk to steam the rice soup.

When Li Ping and the others came back from picking the vegetables, Yao Jingming saw the big and small dishes on the table. There were only four kinds of sauerkraut. He couldn't help but said, "What's the happy event this morning? It's so rich."

Zhao Danshi chuckled, "Doudou will call you Dad now."

"Really?" Li Ping walked over quickly, bent down and touched DouDou's smooth little face, and coaxed him gently, "DouDou, call me Dad."

DouDou is playing with the doll on the small bed, he is still teething, his teeth may be a little itchy, he likes to bite things very much, the doll on his bed has been bitten out several holes by him.Hearing Li Bing's words, he spat out the doll in his mouth, tilted his head and looked at his father.

Zhao Danshi also came over and patted Doudou's little butt lightly, "Doudou, call me Dad."

Seeing his father's face, DouDou grinned, revealing his millet teeth, and called out brightly and loudly, "Dad!"

After calling, Doudou looked at Zhao Danshi expectantly, waiting for him to bring something to eat.

Sure enough, Zhao Danshi didn't expect anything, immediately picked him up, and stuffed a small marshmallow smaller than a mung bean into his mouth.

Doudou giggled.

Li Ping touched his son's little face and said in a warm voice, "Call him Daddy."

Doudou hadn't learned this yet, looked at Li Ping with big bright eyes, and shouted loudly: "Many!"

"Not much, it's dad."

"many."

Li Ping smiled helplessly yet tenderly, kissed Doudou's forehead, "Little rascal."

Others set the table, set the table, serve the dishes, and whoever walked by smiled and cast a glance at them.

When eating breakfast, Zhao Danshi took the bag to the table with a smile still on his face.

It's rare for Doudou to eat so full, and his two fathers are willing to give him a little bit of whatever he wants to eat.

While eating, Peng Yuyun asked: "Shan Shi, the plastic film we ordered will be delivered this morning, shall we send it directly to the field?"

"So fast?" Zhao Danshi was a little surprised, he and Li Ping looked at each other, "Okay, let's send it to the field, everyone works harder today, and put up the plastic greenhouse as soon as possible."

The weather is cold now, and some vegetables can't stand the low temperature, such as peppers, etc., and they will wither after frost. Zhao Danshi had asked them to put up a greenhouse earlier.

The rest of the fields, such as strawberry fields, have to use the greenhouses as soon as possible to avoid frost damage and reduce production at that time.

They made preparations in advance, and all the bamboo branches for the greenhouse were cut.

They didn't go out to buy it, but went directly to the mountain to cut local bamboo branches, and cut the two ends into sharp shapes, so that they could put up the greenhouse when they were inserted in the ground.

After the greenhouse is set up this time, when the weather is warmer next spring, the plastic film will be removed and the bamboo branches will be removed and harvested in bundles, which can be used again next winter.

Today we have to build a greenhouse, and there is a lot of work. Zhao Danshi and Li Ping go to the field together.

They ate some casually at noon, two pieces of meat, one piece of fish, some stir-fried pickles and some green vegetables, for a simple meal, and in the afternoon they went to the field to build a greenhouse.

They have already prepared the bamboo branches, and the plastic film only needs to be covered. This job is not difficult, and everyone started to do it by hand after five o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhao Shanshi was tired all day. When he got home, he washed his hands and feet first, then hugged his son in his arms and played back and forth.

There were not so many people eating at night, so Zhao Shanshi asked his disciples to dig two lotus roots in the pond in the back mountain to eat, and kill a chicken.

Zhao Mingtai and Zhao Fushun were energetic as long as they had something to eat. They specially picked out a big rooster and killed it with great interest. They ate stewed chicken soup, fried chicken breast, pickled vegetables and chicken offal.

Yao Jingming slumped on the chair, sniffed the air vigorously, "Shan Shi, I think your apprentice has already learned the basics."

"I think so too." Zhao Danshi smiled, "I've been tired all day today, shall we go to the county town to sell vegetables tomorrow?"

Yao Jingming showed interest, Peng Yuyun also came over, Li Ping looked at the two of them, then at Dahei and Maozai squatting on the ground, feeling a little amused.

The old man followed Li Bing's gaze and couldn't help laughing.

"Shan Shi, tell me first, what's so interesting about selling vegetables?"

"Aren't we going to slaughter pigs tomorrow? There are five pigs. What we really need to use are pork intestines, etc. The remaining pig heads, pig feet, and ribs won't be consumed for a while. Why don't we go to the county town to sell a la carte and earn some cash."

Yao Jingming squinted at him, "You are not short of money now."

"There is no shortage, but I don't mind money biting my hand. How about going?" Zhao Danshi bewitched them, "Brother Yao, you can help with weighing, Yu Yun will help collect money, Erhua and the others sell vegetables. "

"What about you?"

"Senior brother and I will help guide the customers." Zhao Shanshi smiled.

Li Bing listened to it, and couldn't help showing a smile in his eyes. The meaning of guiding customers by the side is to play jokes and chat with customers, and ask customers for their opinions and suggestions.

Yao Jingming has been here for so long, but he really hasn't sold vegetables with them. He only knows that Zhao Danshi and Li Ping often went out to sell vegetables in the first half of the year, and they were photographed by passers-by and posted on popular searches.

"Okay, what are you selling?"

"Just sell stewed vegetables, tofu and pig's blood."

"What kind of strange combination is this?" Yao Jingming was puzzled.

Zhao Danshi smiled mysteriously, "You will know tomorrow."

After the people in the first courtyard finished their meal, Zhao Shanshi asked the disciples to soak soybeans.

Zhao Mingtai put down the bowl and went, "Master, how much soybeans do you want to soak?"

"Look at the amount, it's about twenty catties."

"Hey!" Zhao Mingtai responded loudly, and excitedly went inside to get the soybeans.

The few of them haven't gone to the county town to sell things for a long time, and they all miss them a little.

After soaking the soybeans and washing the dishes, they almost went back to rest. They had to come over early tomorrow morning to help grind the beans to make tofu.

Yao Jingming and Peng Yuyun heard that pig blood and tofu were mixed together for the first time, and they never knew what Zhao Danshi was up to.

Zhao Danshi was mysterious and refused to say more.

The next day, Liu Erhua and the three of them came very early, and it was still dark when they arrived at Zhao's house.

Zhao Danshi just woke up, he rubbed his eyes, his eyes were sleepy, he exhaled white air as soon as he came out, he rubbed his hands and instructed his apprentices, "Wash our household items, first grind the tofu, Later, we will make soft tofu. I will only teach you this snack once, so you should study hard, and this shop will disappear after passing this village."

"Understood, thank you Master, let's get it right now."

The three apprentices are very interested in this new skill. The tofu is ground more frequently in the yard, and they have just used it recently. They don't need to wash it, just find it and rinse it with well water twice, and it will be clean.

The soybeans have been soaked overnight, and they have already been soaked. When you gently crush them with your fingers, the two petals of soybeans will be separated, and your fingers can directly pinch fingerprints.The three of them worked together in a division of labor, and after a while they grinded out the two barrels of soy milk.

Zhao Shanshi led them to cook the soy milk, threw the freshly picked vegetables into the soy milk to get rid of the beany smell, and then put the soy milk into the big tank.They had to order the tofu, and the snacks to be made today had to be made of tender tofu. After the tofu was ordered, Zhao Shanshi let it sit aside.

The amount of tofu produced from twenty catties of soybeans is not too much, and a large tank is already full.

As soon as they finished this end, Zhao Zhiming had already driven the pig over.

The yard began to slaughter pigs and release pig blood, and then the pigs were cleaned up, and the pig's feet, pig's skull, and pork ribs were stewed.

It was the first time for Yao Jingming and Peng Yuyun to participate in this kind of work, and they were full of surprises. Zhao Danshi ordered them to do some work.

The fresh pork is ground with a meat grinder, and then various seasonings are added to cooperate with the machine for making sausages. But in the morning, they have already filled all the pig farms with five pigs into sausages.

The stuffed sausage fell in the yard. Zhao Danshi led Yao Jingming and Peng Yuyun to poke small eyes on the sausage with a needle to prevent the sausage from becoming bloated.

They were busy from five o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the morning. Their sausages were ready, and the remaining pork was still being marinated. At least it had to be salted for a day and a night, and it could be hung out to dry tomorrow.

Li Ping drove a small tricycle, and they took the stewed vegetables and congealed pork blood and pig tofu to work on the tricycle, and it took them two trips before they all were transported to the county town.

Yao Jingming was a little confused, "Sell it like this? Don't use anything, just take a large disposable plastic bowl? Don't we need to file a record? Don't need to greet customers? Don't need to set up tables and chairs for customers to use."

"No need." Li Ping patted him on the shoulder, "Listen to us, we have experience."

Zhao Mingtai grinned, "Uncle Yao, don't be nervous, our customers are very friendly, you'll know what you're selling, just sell whatever you want."

While talking like this, customers have already gathered around, watching them move big and small boxes, big vats and small vats, and can’t help asking: Just now Huang Shumei said that you are coming to sell some fresh food, we asked her what she sells , she still didn't say anything, you guys have pig's blood and tofu, what are you selling? "

Zhao Shanshi directed his apprentices to move down the two stoves, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "It's just pig's blood and tofu. As for the taste, I'm afraid you'll have to taste it. No matter how well you say it, you won't believe it."

"Are these two things delicious?"

Zhao Danshi smiled confidently, "We sell so many things, what is not delicious?"

Zhao Mingtai joked, "If you want to know what it tastes like, hurry up and queue up to taste it first. Wait a minute, there will be too many people, if you don't queue up, you can only listen to us if you can't taste it. Look at our house. Here, I brought so much, probably enough for a thousand people."

"Hey, so I have to try it quickly."

Zhao Shanshi counted everything, and then the apprentices lit a fire to wash the pot, ready to cook something to eat.

"Why is this thing so fragrant, isn't it pig's blood? Why is there no fishy smell at all, only the aroma?"

"Don't say that these things look so good together. White tofu, red pig's blood, mung beans and scallions are lively, and the bowl is full of steam. It's the most comfortable to eat such a bowl in cold weather."

"How much is a bowl?"

Zhao Danshi just picked up the written sign, heard the words and said with a smile: "A bowl of ten yuan is all farm pigs. The pigs were slaughtered this morning and the pig blood was collected. Our family killed the pigs and used them to make sausages. , Pig blood is not good for what to do, so I think of this fresh food."

As he spoke, Zhao Danshi slightly raised his voice to attract customers, "I'll only sell this one time, and I don't know when I will sell it next time. If you want to eat, hurry up and try it!"

"It's a one-time business. I see that you have a lot of delicious food. Why don't you try to do a long-term business? You set up a stall here to sell food, and it's not as easy as farming to make money."

"That's right, don't think that our county is not rich, but there are quite a lot of people who are willing to eat. If you set up stalls here for a long time, you will definitely earn a lot of money."

"How about it? Boss Zhao, if you don't have time, you can also teach your apprentices. Let the apprentices come here to set up a stall."

Zhao Danshi pointed out, "I already have apprentices, and these three are my apprentices."

Zhao Mingtai answered with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry. When we leave the teacher, if we are idle and bored, maybe we will come here to set up a stall to sell pig's blood."

"Go, look at how busy you are. You don't know how many years you have to wait before you become a teacher. I don't even know if I'm going to die or not."

Zhao Mingtai grinned, "Don't talk despondently. I see that you are full of energy. Longevity is not a problem."

"This mouth can speak, I think you seem to be a person who can do business."

"I think so too. Among Boss Zhao's three apprentices, you are the most slippery."

Zhao Danshi reminded, "The first bowl of pork blood and tofu brain is out. Do you have any taboos? How spicy can chili be eaten?"

While chatting, the customer took the time to answer, "No taboo, normal spiciness."

Zhao Danshi commanded his disciples to prepare the first bowl of fresh and hot tofu nao for the customer.

As soon as the guest received the bean curd in his hand, he took it aside, picked up a disposable spoon and ate it. After taking a bite, the expression on his face changed.

The person next to him who could not eat was anxious, and kept asking: "What is the taste of this tofu nao? Don't eat it alone, but tell us quickly!"

"Is it delicious?"

"Does the smell of pig blood be strong? Is it fishy?"

Each person swallowed the food in their mouths one by one, and then often exhaled a mouthful of hot air, saying with emotion: "It's hot!"

"anything else?"

"Fresh! Fragrant! Spicy! Oh my mother, the smell of this pig's blood is so delicious. If I hadn't told me in advance, I would never have thought it was pig's blood. Pig's blood is tender and slippery when added to tofu, hot and delicious." Fragrant, ouch, I really can't describe the taste, you will know after a taste."

Once these words come out, who is not hungry?

Everyone rushed forward, "Young man, be quicker and quicker, and give me a bowl."

"Hey, I want it too!"

"Come here, give you the money, I want a bowl too!"
