The fairy of space also farms

The night in the country is so quiet that people who are used to the noise can't adapt to it. The voice of the autumn insects is infinitely amplified, and every twitch is clearly distinguishable. It seems that the whispers of the stars can be heard.The fourteenth moon is very bright and clear, without the interference of artificial lights, it becomes very pure, and the whole world is shrouded in silver, quiet and elegant.

Everyone fell asleep in the boundless silence, woke up in the awakening of the world, and returned to the most authentic and primitive state of life. It is a blessing in life to have such a few days of leisure in a year.

Xu Ning and Xun Xu got up early in the morning to deliver food, while Zhou Shusen got up early in the morning to make breakfast.For breakfast, I made crab roe soup dumplings. To make crab roe dumplings, Zhou Shusen started preparing the skin jelly yesterday.Get up in the morning and knead the noodles. When you wake up, start processing the crabs.Guo Shanshan also got up to help. The two of them dismantled a dozen or two crabs, then fried the crab meat with minced ginger and green onions, chopped them, mixed them with minced meat jelly, wrapped them into buns, and steamed them in a steamer.

Delicious production process is always tedious and long.When Xu Ning and Xun Xu came back, the buns had just come out of the steamer.Everyone was not at home, and they all went for a walk in the back mountain. Xu Ning called everyone and urged them to come back for breakfast.

Not long after, everyone came back, with grass clippings, dust and dew all over their trouser legs and shoes. Everyone had some fruit in their hands, and only Luo Jianfei held a bunch of chestnut thorns in his hand.

Ge Ying carried a bag of kiwis, opened the bag and asked Shan Ding to help: "Old Jiu, help me pick something edible."

Shan Ding looked at Ge Ying speechlessly: "Sister, I really don't know about this, I rarely eat this."

Ge Ying looked at him: "You don't care about the macaque?"

Xu Ning suppressed a smile: "Third sister, let me help you." He pinched a few and picked up a softer one, "This one is fine. Try it."

Ge Ying teased Shan Ding with a smile: "You can't do it, Lao Jiu, you are not as good as Xu Ning."

Shan Ding was a little furious: "Sister, don't bring people who run on people like this."

Xun Xu said: "Okay, it's time for breakfast, let's all come and eat."

Guo Shanshan brought out drawers of steamed buns: "Crab dumpling in soup, please enjoy slowly, don't burn your mouth."

Tan Yu was the first to run to the table and sit down: "Every time I come to Starling's house, there are delicious food, and every meal is not the same, so happy. I'll eat first."

Crab roe buns are also eaten in the same way as soup dumplings, except that there are more delicious crab roe fillings inside. Tan Yu can't wait to put the crab roe buns on the plate, poke a hole with chopsticks, and the aroma of the crab roe filling will follow. As the hot air rose, Tan Yu took a deep breath: "It's really fragrant." After waiting for a while, he began to lower his head to sip the soup in the soup bag, and then raised his head in satisfaction, "It's so beautiful."

Seeing him like this, everyone put down the fruits they had just picked, washed their hands and sat down to eat breakfast.For a while, no one spoke in the whole room. Everyone was immersed in eating crab roe soup dumplings, and the only sound in the room was the sizzle of sipping soup.Obviously, Zhou Shusen successfully conquered everyone's stomach.

After eating two crab roe buns, Ji Xia raised his head: "Xu Ning's food is so delicious, I don't want to leave."

Xu Ning laughed: "Then play here for a few more days."

"It's a pity, there are too many things to do, it would be nice to have a few days of leisure." Ji Xia shook his head lightly, and then put the third bun into the plate.

Tan Yu ate five steamed buns in one go. Seeing that the drawer on the table was almost empty, he said loudly, "A Sen, have you cooked enough? Haven't you eaten enough?"

Zhou Shusen said: "There is still something else, it is steaming, just wait for a minute."

Rao Ben said: "Unfortunately, we only come here once a year. If we go here twice in three days, I guess it will make Lao Ba and Xu Ning poor."

Xu Ning smiled: "I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you, don't worry if you are poor, I have raised 100 crabs and more than [-] million shrimp, how much can you eat?"

"Then your annual income is not low." Yin Feng, who had been silent all this time, said.

Shan Ding then said: "Sure, you didn't see the BMW parked in the garage, it's a million dollars. Starling is also a rich man now." After buying the BMW, Xu Ning built a garage on the side of the yard, The car is parked in the garage.

Xun Xu glared at him: "Old Jiu, you are mocking me. I can't make a lot of money here. It's true that I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I can still have a few mouthfuls of delicious food. The environment is also good and very Comfortable and at ease."

Ji Xia said: "You are already a fairy day."

Everyone laughed: "That is more carefree than the days of the gods."

Luo Jianfei also said: "It's not that I have never experienced farming, but there are not many successful ones like you."

Xu Ning just laughed: "That's because we are lucky."

After a group of people had breakfast, everyone was satisfied.This made Xu Ning, the owner, and Zhou Shusen, the chef, very happy. Zhou Shusen has been thinking about the dishes all day long. There are good things at home, but how can we make dishes that make everyone's eyes shine? It takes a little effort and thought.

In the morning, this group of guests from Beijing went to Yantang to fish for shrimps.The daytime in September is still very hot, and the sun is scorching. Xu Ning has parasols here. He put up parasols on the edge of the Yantang. Everyone is wearing leather shoes and sunglasses and sitting under the parasols to fish. They are very cool and handsome. But when you see the fishing rods in their hands, you will feel like adults playing house, because except for Luo Jianfei and Ji Xia, the rest of them are holding a simple fishing rod, and the scene looks quite funny.

There is not much water in Beijing, and there are not many places where you can fish. Ge Ying and the others don't have a fishing hobby, so they don't have any equipment.As for Ji Xia and Luo Jianfei, it is because there is a pond in front of their house. When the pond is full at the beginning of each year, Luo Jianfei will buy some fish fry to release. In summer and autumn, he will call a few friends to fish.I bought this fishing rod by the way, and I heard that I can catch shrimps this time, so I brought it along with me.

In fact, if you want to catch shrimp, the fishing rods of Luo Jianfei and Ji Xia are not as good as the simple fishing rods in Rao Ben's hands. The simple fishing rods have no hooks and the fishing line is not too long. They just use a rope to tie the bait, and there are shrimps to eat the bait, just pull it up. .As for Luo Jianfei and Ji Xia's fishing rods, because of the hooks, every time the float moves, most of the fish that are pulled up are carp.

After Ji Xia caught carp a few times, he abandoned his fishing rod: "I'll get a simple one too. Shrimp fishing is more interesting."

It takes a long time to fish and there are few harvests. Fishing shrimp is different. There are many shrimps in the weir pond, and this thing is relatively greedy. You will get the bait every few minutes, which is more rewarding.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Luo Jianfei stared motionlessly at the float in the water. He had nothing else to do, but his patience to wait for his prey to take the bait was excellent.Feidian was very good, lying between the two fathers like a good child, quietly staring at the water in a daze, and when tired of watching, he yawned and went to sleep.

For them, the purpose of fishing is not to fish, but to catch and enjoy the process of fishing.

Shan Ding was restless by nature and couldn't sit still. He fished for a while, and then went to the trestle to look at the sturgeon in the net cage: "Youngest, let's catch this and eat. The sturgeon at noon yesterday tastes good, you What do you think?"

Tan Yu said: "Didn't you realize that those fish are too small, not enough for a catty, and they are still fry, how to eat them?"

Shan Ding said: "Then why is the one we ate at noon yesterday so big?"

"That's a few three-year-old big fish that Xu Ning and his boss bought at a big price, and he raised them for another year. Otherwise, you thought you'd be able to eat sturgeon by now? If you want to eat it, come this time next year. These fish are almost enough." Wen Jiankun said.

Shan Ding said: "Then let's come again next year."

Tan Yu said: "Actually, I really want to live with Lao Ba for a month or two, without the troubles of silk and bamboo, without the trouble of paperwork, a real fairy life, look at Beijing, what is it like now, is it still the capital city?" , where the old emperor lives, the air quality and climate conditions are so bad, and I don’t want to improve it.”

Rao Ben blew smoke rings, and said slowly: "You said you can change it if you want to? It didn't happen overnight, and it's impossible to change it overnight. So I can only endure it."

While listening to everyone talking, Ji Xia casually pulled up the fishing rod. On the other end of the fishing line, there was a prawn hanging: "Hey, Brother Fei, look, I caught a prawn."

Luo Jianfei bit the cigarette and glanced sideways: "Hurry up and pull it up—" The word "" fell silent, and the shrimp on Ji Xia's fishing rod loosened its grip and fell back into the water.

Luo Jianfei laughed, and the cigarettes fell to the ground. He took a look at the cigarettes on the ground, raised his foot and crushed the end of the cigarette. In fact, he doesn't smoke very often, but he would smoke one when he has nothing to do.

Ji Xia cried out depressingly: "Why did you fall!"

He yelled, waking up the sleeping Feidian. It turned around and looked around blankly, and then looked up at the two fathers, bewildered.

Luo Jianfei comforted Feidian with one hand, and said, "Don't pay attention to your father, Feidian, he's insane. Who told you to stay on the water for so long, and the shrimp wasn't hooked, so it's no wonder you didn't escape."

Ji Xia checked the bait, it was still hanging, and said unwillingly, "Come again, I don't believe I can't catch it."

When it was almost noon, Xu Ning came over and told them to go back for dinner.He took a look at the fish and shrimps that everyone caught. There were quite a lot of them. The shrimps probably weighed more than ten kilograms.In the end, Luo Jianfei still didn't catch a few fish, nor did he catch the big fish he was expecting, because there were no big fish in the pond at all.

Xu Ning said: "Let's roast the whole lamb after dinner, and eat the lamb while watching the moon. We will make mooncakes in the afternoon. What flavor do you want?"

Shan Ding smiled slyly: "Moon cake with five kernels!"

Several people laughed: "Don't listen to Lao Jiu's nonsense, he wants to eat, and he will eat it after cooking."

Xu Ning said: "Is the egg yolk moon cake okay? My family happens to have salted duck eggs, and I made them from my own duck eggs. I haven't started them yet."

Ji Xia asked in surprise: "Are there any salted duck eggs? I love salted duck eggs. I used to eat salted duck eggs from Gaoyou. The yolks were so delicious that the oil came out from the yolks. Duck eggs."

"I'll go back and give you a taste later. Asen happened to cook a pot of salted duck eggs for making mooncakes," Xu Ning said.

Ge Ying said, "I'll just eat some bean paste mooncakes."

Xu Ning said: "You can have this. I happen to have new red beans at home. I made some red bean paste. I went to make red bean paste this morning. And I have already made some red bean paste mooncakes."

"Then I'm going to try it later."

Yin Feng asked, "Do you have lotus paste?"

Xu Ning shook his head: "There are also lotus seeds. I picked some lotus seeds myself. They are all local materials, but there are not many of them."

Yin Feng waved his hand: "That's enough, it's just a meaning."

The lunch was relatively simple. Zhou Shusen said that he was busy making moon cakes in the morning and didn't have time to cook, so everyone settled down and had a big meal in the evening.Everyone agrees, after all, I have eaten a few fatty meals, and I need something light to relieve the burden on my stomach, not to mention that there will be a big meal at night.Zhou Shusen, as a chef, is naturally well versed in the principle of reasonable diet.

At Ji Xia's request, Xu Ning cut two salted duck eggs for him. The red yolks could catch up with the rising sun, and there was also oozing duck fat. They were placed on a plate, which made people appetite open.

Xu Ning asked, "Would you like to try salted duck eggs?"

Tan Yu said, "Quickly cut a piece and taste it."

So Xu Ning brought a few more, and they were all in two, half for each person. Xu Ning and Zheng Xiuzhi learned how to salt the salted duck eggs. Although it was the first time, the effect was very good.The taste is rusty, the marinating time is not long, and it is not very salty. Everyone says it is delicious.

Now salted duck eggs and preserved eggs are about to become another major feature of their village, because many people grow organic rice, and many people have hundreds of ducks in their homes.Fresh duck eggs are not easy to preserve, so everyone salts them into salted duck eggs and preserved eggs. Every tourist who comes to the village will buy some duck eggs back. After all, eggs that do not eat feed are very rare.

Xu Ning said: "If you like to eat, I will bring some back. I have a group of ducks at home, and I can pick up more than a dozen duck eggs every day. I can't finish eating them. I use them to marinate them into salted duck eggs and preserved eggs." , Don’t be afraid to let this thing go, take some back home and eat slowly.”

Ji Xia just laughed: "Why do I feel that we are like devils entering the village, and want to wipe out everything in your house."

"It's so rare for you to come here once. You traveled thousands of miles. If you didn't come here on purpose, who would come here in this corner of ours? It just so happened that you came, so you took it with you. Otherwise, you have to send it by express, and it is not convenient for some things to be delivered by express." , they were all crushed," Xu Ning said.

This is the truth. For example, if the salted duck eggs are sent by express, [-]% of them will be broken.

Ge Ying said: "Xu Ning has always been hospitable, so we will not be polite, and we will take it with us when we can."

Xun Xu said: "When we go to Beijing next time, you just treat us well."

"Okay, if you come to Beijing, you must come to our dog training ground." Ji Xia said.

Xu Ning nodded: "Definitely."
