Farmer's Notes from Another World

Black pork has more lean meat and less fat. Such pigs are cheaper than large white pigs.Fang Zhiyuan liked the black pork very much, and the black pork tasted much more fragrant than the meat of the big white pig.The meal at noon was stewed pork. Lin Zheng's family brought large chunks of pork stewed with sauerkraut, fried liver, blood, and intestines.

The four dishes were all served in large pots, and Lin Xin's main spoon had a more rural taste than Fang Zhiyuan's cooking.The pork in the sauerkraut was cut as big as a child's palm, and the thickness was as thick as a finger. Fang Zhiyuan thought it would be greasy after eating it, but after eating a large piece of meat, he felt fat but not greasy. It tasted salty and fragrant. A big piece of sauerkraut, well, he just ate three bowls of rice.

The big and small are also eating happily, and their mouths are full of oil.Lin Cheng's family was happier seeing their grandson eating than eating it themselves.Seeing that Xiao Zhuang dripped the broth on the collar of his clothes, he quickly wiped him with a damp cloth, and said to Lin Zheng's family angrily: "Second brother's family, Xiao Zhuang can't eat well, you Why didn't you bring him a bag, the food is greasy, and you have to waste your clothes if you wash it diligently."

Lin Zheng's family left in a hurry today without any pockets, and was a little unhappy when his mother said that.He was always facing his father-in-law, and the nanny was uncomfortable with Lin Shuang. At this time, Lin Cheng's family said that he didn't bring a pocket bag, and he subconsciously felt that it was Lin Cheng's family who were picking on his faults, saying that he was living a life Don't know thrift.

He looked at Xiao Zhuang, he was reluctant to talk about the child, and he was unhappy, so he showed it on his face.Looking at it, Fang Zhiyuan sighed in his heart, every family has its own hard-to-recite scriptures, the principle that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are born enemies seems to be axiom in any world.

Fang Zeng was about to go to town after dinner, and asked Fang Zhiyuan what he wanted, and said he would bring it back.Fang Zhiyuan had food and drink at home, so he didn't need anything, so he didn't open his mouth.Seeing that his nephew remained silent, Fang Zeng thought in his heart that Fang Zhiyuan was concerned about money, and thought that he should buy some snacks for his nephew on his own.

After eating, the big and small Zhuang followed their aunts to make glutinous rice cakes. The adults mixed the glutinous rice flour. They washed their hands, took the molds, stuffed the dough into it and smoothed it out, imitating the adults. Take a few shots on the table.Fang Zhiyuan didn't do anything, but watched them do it.Da Zhuang made a round pancake, which looked decent. Xiao Zhuang insisted on making a turtle, but after he finished shooting, the glutinous rice balls stuck to the mold. He patted hard, and the glutinous rice balls were patterned The wind does not move.Xiao Zhuang was in such a hurry that he finally picked it up with his hands. Of course, the tortoise's papa was also treated horribly.

When Lin Zheng's family saw it, they hurried forward to take a look, only to find out that he hadn't sprinkled dry glutinous rice flour when putting on the mould.In this way, the glutinous rice sticks to the mold.Lin Zheng's family has a quick temper, and he gave Xiao Zhuang a tiger's face, strictly forbidding him to play with glutinous rice cakes.Lin Cheng's family just said a few words to him, and the atmosphere in the room was suddenly depressed.

Although Xiao Zhuang was small, seeing his grandma and nanny's expressions were not good, he didn't dare to move, standing in the room at a loss, not knowing what to do.Resigned to his fate, Fang Zhiyuan took his little hand out, and coaxed him to eat a dried persimmon, which made the snack food regain his energy.

Da Zhuang also came over after a while, his eyes lit up as he looked at the persimmon in Xiao Zhuang's hand.Maybe it was the education of the elders in the family that made him embarrassed to ask Fang Zhiyuan for something to eat, so he could only watch eagerly, his small eyes looking at the jagged persimmon bitten by Xiao Zhuang from time to time.

Fang Zhiyuan didn't favor one person over another, he went in and took another one for Da Zhuang.Da Zhuang was embarrassed, lowered his head, and Fang Zhiyuan simply stuffed it into his hand.After the first basket of glutinous rice was steamed, Big Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang dragged Fang Zhiyuan into the kitchen.

The freshly steamed glutinous rice cakes exuded a delicate fragrance, big and small looked at the steamer eagerly, and Fang Zhiyuan felt a little hungry after smelling it.Lin Cheng's family looked at it, lifted the steaming cloth, and put three turtles in the bowl with a spatula.Because the glutinous rice was steaming hot just out of the pot, Lin Cheng's family didn't dare to just serve it to them.Fang Zhiyuan thought about icing it with cold water, and he was also whetted by the little white turtle's appetite.

Seeing Fang Zhiyuan's actions, Lin Cheng's family quickly stopped him and said, "Huzi, you can't eat glutinous rice just out of the pot with cold water. The glutinous rice is cold on the outside and hot in the middle. If you eat it, you will get heartburn. Eat it in a hurry. No hot glutinous rice, you can remember it next time."

When Lin Cheng's family thought it was ready to eat, Fang Zhiyuan and the three of them all held a bowl and sat in a row waiting to eat.To be honest, the glutinous rice Baba Bar without sugar and stuffing is not as delicious as imagined, but it is very fragrant.The glutinous rice is honest, one can satisfy the hunger.Fang Zhiyuan finished his meal and felt that he could skip a bowl for dinner.

Not far away, the unique sound of the wheels of the mule cart came from a distance, Fang Zhiyuan could already recognize that it was his uncle's mule cart, and excitedly brought big and small Zhuang to meet his uncle at the door.Fang Zeng bought a lot of things when he went, and brought a lot of things with him when he came.

Looking at Fang Zhiyuan and Da Zhuang Xiao Zhuang, he stopped the mule cart and got out, took out three candied haws from the back basket in the cart, and gave three of them to them.Lin Cheng's family saw them from the door, and they called out, "Nephew, what are you doing? You brought food for the two of our family. Why are you spending this money for no reason?"

Fang Zeng said indifferently: "It's nothing, big and small, calling me uncle is for nothing. I don't want to get some food. Auntie, I go back to the town to bring some meat to others, and the shopkeeper Chen has to give it to me." I brought back ten catties of sauced beef, and I can make a dish for the banquet. You can also try it tonight. I have a piece of cloth here. I want to make clothes for Huzi, but I have to trouble my aunt to make it. "

Lin Cheng hurriedly responded with a smile, and said, "Okay, as long as my nephew doesn't think my aunt's clothes don't look good. When the time comes, my aunt will add some leather to the clothes, so that they will be warm and light, and will keep them warm even in cold weather." Huzi can't be cold."

Fang Zeng went to the town and brought back more than these things. Shopkeeper Chen brought ten catties of beef and a box of snacks.And to go to Chen Laosan, Chen Laosan made a lot of money selling persimmons these days, seeing that Fang Zeng gave him pork, he insisted on giving Fang Zeng a basket of tangerines and a piece of cloth to bring back to him.Those tangerines are a thing from the south, they will be sold here for two to three cents a catty, and this basket must be at least ten catties.

When he brought the tangerines down, his eyes were bulging. They had seen tangerines before, but the number of times they had eaten them could be counted on one hand.All he knew was that tangerines were delicious, and his eyes followed the basket that Fang Zeng was carrying, running around Fang Zeng.

Fang Zeng likes children, and he is not stingy, so he took two of them and let them eat first.When Lin Cheng's family saw it, they quickly stopped him.These tangerines are not candied haws. One costs four to five yuan, and two of them cost ten dollars.Their family is not happy to take advantage of others like this, and they don't want people to say that their family has shallow eyes.

Although Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang wanted to eat it very much, they still listened to their mother's words very much. Even if they were reluctant, they had no choice but to put down the tangerines and never touch them again.Fang Zeng said: "Auntie, what does it matter if the children eat something? I'm not happy if you stop me like this. Don't you treat me as an outsider? Come on, big and small, you eat it. If your mother turns around and tells you, don't be afraid, just come to Uncle's house, and Uncle will take care of it for you." Then he stuffed the tangerines to Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang.

After Fang Zeng said this, Lin Cheng's family couldn't say anything more, but he was thinking about what he had at home that he could give to Fang Zeng's family.No matter what, my own family has to express it, otherwise I can only go in and out, what will it be like.

Big Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang saw that his mother didn't stop them, cheered, took the tangerines and ran away, afraid that his mother would go back on their word and wouldn't let them eat them.Fang Zhiyuan didn't go with them, he gave things to his uncle, saw a basket of eggs, and asked his uncle: "Uncle, there are two chickens laying eggs at home, why do you buy eggs?"

Fang Zeng looked at the egg and said with a smile, "I didn't buy it. I invited him to our house for a drink at my brother's house in Liujia Village, and he stuffed it in from his house."

Fang Zhiyuan asked curiously: "Uncle, which uncle is it? I don't seem to have any impression."

Fang once thought about it, his senior brother came to his house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of junior high school, and he never stayed at home for dinner.His brother brought his nephew back from the second year of junior high school, as if the nephew had never met his senior brother.Thinking about it this way, I hurriedly said it in detail, so as to save myself the embarrassment of not knowing that person.

Fang Zeng said: "My senior brother learned hunting skills from your grandfather back then. He has been out and running for a few years, and his skills are better than mine. Since your grandfather passed away, he has come to our house to pay New Year's greetings every first day of the new year. The four rituals are all in order. When I got older, I also learned hunting skills from him. This year is your birthday, and I want to invite him to have fun."

Fang Zhiyuan understood after hearing this.

The steamed glutinous rice was ready, and Lin Zheng's family of Lin Xin's family was unwilling to have dinner at Fang's house any more. Fang Zeng brought ten tangerines to each of them, but they didn't take them anyway, and ran away.Fang Zhiyuan had to go door-to-door to deliver them. Of course, when he came back, his hand was not empty, and the small basket in his hand was full of eggs.Fang Zhiyuan was depressed looking at the two small baskets of eggs, is it popular to give eggs now.

Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang are Fang Zhiyuan's little tails, and Fang Zeng stayed at his home for dinner at this time.The adults left, and they were more open-minded. They ran over and threw a chestnut that they didn't know they had never taken into the pot, and buried a sweet potato in the stove. Dusty.

Fang Zhiyuan was also happy when he saw it, as long as he and Fang Zeng were at home, but today there were two more children, the popularity was much more lively.He just liked it when he saw it, and he didn't care about the big and small dark hands and gray face. He led two snacks to wash the little hands and face with hot water.

In the evening, Lin Zheng came to take care of the big and small, and made an agreement with Fang Zeng that Fang Zhiyuan would pick up Liu Amo the day before Fang Zhiyuan's birthday.He came over to take a look, and it was easy to start the next day.Carefully told Fang Zeng the address of Ama Liu's house, carried Xiao Zhuang in his arms, and led Da Zhuang back home.

In the following days, Fang Zeng and Fang Zhiyuan sent the pickled spicy cabbage to the grocery store in the town, bought cabbage from Lin Xin's family, and cooked it again.It was the day before Fang Zhiyuan's birthday. Fang Zeng borrowed tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, bought most of the ingredients, and picked up Liu Amo.

Ah Liu looked like a thin old Ah, when he got out of the car, he was accompanied by a boy who was a head taller than Fang Zhiyuan.Fang Zeng introduced the situation tomorrow to Ah Liu and asked him to make up his mind to cook.

Liu Ahma looked at the ingredients prepared by Fang's family, and knew it well.And that young man was stunned by Fang Zhiyuan, and came down with two cauldrons in his hands.Fang Zeng hurried to take over and said: "Son, don't do it, this Shen, you are still young, don't get tired."

Liu Amo gave up with a smile, and said, "This is my grandson Liu Zhuang. He has been very strong since he was a child. These two troubles are nothing to him. It doesn't matter. Fang is the head of the family. Don't worry. "

At this time, Fang Zhiyuan took a closer look at the young man in front of him.He is a head taller than him, and his facial features are not as delicate as the brother here, but more like a man.From the current point of view, he is handsome, very tough, his face is very angular, his nose is high and straight, and he looks relatively taciturn, he is the embryonic form of a tough guy in the future.If it is now, it will definitely attract many girls.

It's a pity that it was in this era that he sadly gave birth to a brother. According to his appearance, he was somewhat similar to his own aunt.In the aesthetics of the men here, I am afraid that he has suffered a little bit. Thinking about it this way, Fang Zhiyuan felt a little sorry for this young man in his heart.

Liu Ama said to Fang Zeng: "Boss Fang, your kitchen is not small, but the stove can't burn three tables of banquets. If you want to build another big stove, you don't have to bother, just build a stove in the yard, and use it up again." Just take it apart."

As soon as Fang Zeng heard this, he went to move the bricks, and Fang Zhiyuan also went to help.Liu Zhuang also followed behind to help move, Fang Zhiyuan looked a little embarrassed, and quickly said: "Well, you don't have to move, just move this for me and uncle. You are my brother, go and rest with your mother, Just leave it to us to do it.”

Liu Zhuang looked at Fang Zhiyuan who was talking to him in surprise, and followed his mother to work in other houses. Everyone thought that they would naturally ask them to do more work after giving money, and he was helping his mother to rest more now.Now that Fang Zhiyuan said this to him, he was a little surprised, but more grateful to others for their kindness.

He shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm used to this stove, so it's nothing." He sped up his movements as he spoke.
