Farming. Farmhouse Daily

After the twelfth lunar month, the taste of the new year gradually becomes stronger. After the radishes in the field can be pulled home in large quantities, there will be an extra fresh food at home. The radishes are good for stewing meat or stir-fried vegetables alone.

People in the southwestern part of Dayan Kingdom are not fond of Laba, but Wan's family decided to have a meal together as a family on this day, so Wan's family has to be busy all day again.What Wan Jiahe likes most is the days when several family members work together to cook together. They don’t have to work and can still eat the specialty dishes of the aunts and sisters-in-law, and they can stay with the whole family for a whole day.

"Aniang, everyone is going to eat at Uncle's house today. You can go help out at noon first, and just cook a few dishes that Aniang is good at." Wan Jiahe found the machete and a small carving knife early in the morning. I didn't know what he was going to do, Yang Sheng was used to watching Wan Jiahe and talking about it, so he thought about watching him for a while to see what the hell he was up to.

Wan Jiahe really had something to do, since yesterday when the family said they were going to have dinner together, he had thought of this, and he hadn't done it for almost a year, not only his mouth was hungry, but his hands were itchy.

"Aniang, you and uncle and the others are going to cook, and Yang Sheng and I will take our two nieces to prepare delicious food for you." Three months after Yang Sheng passed away, Wan Jiahe saw that he looked really good, He no longer restrained him as much as before, and some small things went with Yang Sheng.

"Yang Sheng, have you ever eaten bamboo rice?"

"Bamboo rice? No, I've never heard of it." Master can still cook?That would be unpalatable and a waste of white rice.When Wan Jiahe asked this question, Yang Sheng felt that Wan Jiahe was really a free-spirited young master who only knew how to eat ready-made food, and really knew nothing else.

"Hey, I know you haven't eaten it. I learned it from people in Beijing when I went to see my elder brother in previous years. You must not know it. Today I will let you try my handicraft. I'm sure you will like it, young master I don’t know how to cook anything.” Wan Jiahe was very playful since he was a child, and he didn’t get much better when he grew up, so his family members are always worried about his marriage, just like the expression on his face when he talked about the so-called “bamboo tube rice” Yang Sheng also felt that he looked like a child who discovered something new.

"Okay." Seeing Wan Jiahe's excited look, Yang Sheng agreed without hesitation.But for the sake of the whole family's stomach, Yang Sheng asked again: "Jiahe, do you need to prepare anything?"

"I will prepare the things. You go and call Zhen'er and Zhu'er first, and we will set off when you come here."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

After Yang Sheng went out, the Wan family and herself started to prepare things. Aunt Yang watched him walk into the kitchen and asked him what he wanted for him. She never saw him go into the kitchen twice. Where did he put his things? I don't know, please don't know, but Wan Jiahe seems to be determined to do everything by himself, let Aunt Yang go to the uncle's house first, and he will figure it out.Aniang Yang smiled and shook her head as she watched Wan's family and their backs entering the kitchen, so she didn't bother anymore, and she had to go to work herself.

Last year, Wan Jiahe made rice in bamboo tubes, which included potatoes and bacon bamboo shoots that he brought back from Beijing, but the potatoes were exchanged from vendors in Beijing, and they were not available at home, so how about finding something at home instead?That thing is very fragrant and also pink, what to put without that?sweet potato?No, sweet potatoes are sweet, and they don't taste as good as bacon and bamboo shoots. Otherwise, two dishes should be prepared, and they should be delicious.

The bacon at home is almost eaten, but it's time to smoke the bacon soon, and it doesn't matter if it's finished.Because there was not much meat left, Wan Jiahe worked hard for a long time to get a few pieces of pure lean meat, one of which still had some fat on it.Because it took a while to fight the meat, Yang Sheng and the others came back before Wan Jiahe had prepared everything.

"Jiahe, can we go?"

"Wait, I'm looking for a basket."

"What are you doing with the basket?" Now Yang Sheng puts many things in the house, so he finds things faster than Wan Jiahe. After asking clearly, he helps to find them, and he can go out in a while.

"The weather is not very good today, so we won't light the fire outside, just come back, so we don't need to take anything special out, but we need a basket and a hoe to dig the winter bamboo shoots. Now my grandson can't dig without a hoe." Yes. At that time, we will have to chop an old bamboo, so we need to find a machete that is stronger."

While Wan Jiahe was talking, Yang Sheng went to find what he said. Although Yang Sheng didn't know how to make the rice in bamboo tubes, but after hearing what Wan Jiahe said, it should be different from what he thought. Originally, my first reaction was to cook the rice with the bamboo, but that shouldn’t be the case. By the way, the bamboo is empty. Would you put the rice in the bamboo tube?So it's bamboo rice?

After getting everything ready, they set off. Wan Zhu'er ran ahead with the basket, Wan Zhen'er carried a hoe, Yang Sheng walked behind them empty-handed, and Wan Jiahe walked away with a machete. at the end.Originally, if the weather was nicer, it would be interesting to light a fire outside to clean up the rice before taking it back home, but today the weather is really bad, the cold wind keeps blowing and there is no sun, it is too cold outside, it is better to go back honestly .

The place they went to was completely different from a few months ago. Because of the construction of a new house, the fortress in front of the Wanjia was widened a lot from the gate of the Wanjia. When they reached the bamboo forest, there was a small The steep slope, now the steep slope is gone, and it has become a high wall. If they want to enter the wall, they have to walk down the paved stone steps at the ridge of the fort and walk to the gate of the yard to enter the bamboo forest.

"Uncle, why did you build such a big yard? Many places are empty, the same as before. Why do you surround them?" Wan Zhen'er really couldn't figure it out, the place was actually not that big. The change is just to build a big wall to enclose the bamboo forest and the pond, but the interior has not been repaired much. There is still a small slope between the bamboo forest and the pond, and the way down is still difficult. Oh, and, There is a new house in this big wall, but it has not been taken care of yet. Not only is there no furniture in it, but it is also messy everywhere.

"I'll live there when you go back to your mother's house." Wan Zhen'er will go out soon, and she will be ashamed when people at home talk about this topic, and this time it's the same. Having said that, she blushed and ran to the front.

Seeing Wan Zhen'er blushing and running away, Yang Sheng blamed Wan Jiahe and said a few words to Wan Jiahe. He thought Wan Jiahe was Zhen'er's elder. That's good, it's not good to say that they are elders.

"Jiahe, you are an uncle, how can you talk nonsense? You are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future." Although he knew that Wan Jiahe was not a serious person, Yang Sheng still had to bring up some things.

"I know, I know." Even though he knew it was useless to say it, he knew it just by listening to it, and he definitely didn't listen to it at all.

Because of what happened last time, Yang Sheng felt that the digging of bamboo shoots was left to Wan Jiahe and his two nieces. He was in charge of chopping bamboo, and it was more time-saving to do what he was good at.

"Yang Sheng, when you cut bamboo, try to find ones with longer tubes, which look like they are more mature. Old bamboos are resistant to roasting, and later the bamboo will be roasted on the fire."

"Understood, you go find the bamboo shoots, I'll help you after I've finished the bamboo."

"Be careful yourself, don't fall."

"Understood, go find it quickly, winter bamboo shoots are not easy to find, it will take a lot of time."

In winter, the fallen leaves in the bamboo forest become thicker. If you want to find bamboo shoots, you have to push aside the thick fallen leaves first, and then remove the layer of soil on the surface before you can see the winter bamboo shoots in the ground. There are bamboo shoots under the soil when things are dug, it still depends on experience and luck.

After Yang Sheng selected the bamboo to be cut, he found the position of the knife before starting to move the knife. After the position was selected, the bamboo could be cut down before falling to the position he wanted, otherwise it would fall to another place. Or if it is directly stuck in the middle of the staggered bamboo forest, it will be troublesome, and it will take a lot of effort to pull it out.

After felling the bamboo, Yang Sheng didn't move it. He didn't know how to cut the bamboo tube, and he had to wait until Wan Jiahe came out, otherwise he would waste a bamboo if he cut it wrong.

Seeing the three people groping in the bamboo grove, Yang Sheng himself went in. In view of what happened last time when he stepped on a bamboo shoot and fell, he went in very carefully, and only set his foot when he was sure of the ground.

"How? Got it?"

"Why did you come in? Be careful yourself." Wan Jiahe still remembers the last time Yang Sheng fell in the bamboo forest. Although there were some reasons for him that time, it was also because the not-so-smart idiot fell down. normal.

"Understood, what's the matter, how much did you dig?" While answering Wan Jiahe's words, Yang Sheng also walked towards the few people carefully, and only when he got closer did he see that there were two or three in the small basket. Winter bamboo shoots.

"Jiahe, it should be enough, isn't this stuff just to add some flavor to the rice, it should be enough."

"It's okay. Anyway, it's good to dig some more bacon and fry it when you have time. There's still a little bacon left at home. Let's take it out and fry it today. Anyway, the New Year pig will be killed in a few days." One pig, the rest of the meat was fried, because it was not a good time to make bacon. More than half of the meat of the pigs killed for the New Year now have to be used to smoke bacon, and the meat of the whole year next year has to be smoked. So from the twelfth lunar month to February, the family will burn a fire in the kitchen every day. This time is also the coldest time. The fire at home is also convenient for the family members to enjoy the fire. It kills two birds with one stone.
