Farmer's Notes from Another World

The three of them worked quickly, and the stove was set up in less than an hour. Ama Liu arranged the ingredients at home, sliced ​​the slices, and shredded the slices.In a short time, Fang Zeng reported the names of ten dishes to Fang Zeng, so that he can cook without rushing.

Fang Zhiyuan listened to Liu Ah Mo's energetic words: "Boss Fang, I see that your ingredients have ordered these dishes for you. Take a look. One sauced beef, one braised pork, and one eight-treasure duck , a crystal hoof, a braised crucian carp, a sour dragon and phoenix silk, a belly chicken, a tofu ball soup, a dry-boiled cabbage, and a cold fungus. In this way, there are chicken, duck and fish meat, not to mention decent, your family The ready-made half-pig can also be used, so you don’t need to buy anything else. I think you have a lot of fungus and cabbage, and four hooves are enough, as well as fish and eels, so you only need to buy three more. Ducks and three chickens are enough, and by the way, you have to bring three pork bellies. This way, you can match them together and keep your banquet decent and delicious."

Liu Ahmay also saw that Zhong Fang was a straightforward person with a generous hand, so he made such an order.If it was an ordinary family, he wouldn't make so many meat dishes. The elder brothers of those families would definitely be reluctant to share these dishes with others, but if they wanted to raise it themselves, they were afraid of losing face and refused to say it clearly. Instead, it would be him Inside and outside are not people.This is also the experience of cooking for so many years.

Fang Zeng sounded good, but he didn't taste the food, so he didn't know how it tasted?But just by hearing the name of the dish, I feel that Liu Ah is different from the brothers and mothers who are usually invited to cook. It seems that the money is not wasted, and he really has two brushes.Thinking about it this way, he waved his hand and said to Liu Ah, "Liu Ah, you are the master, you have the final say. I will leave tomorrow's banquet to you, just tell me what is missing, as long as let It’s enough for the guests to eat and drink well.”

Liu Ama said with a smile: "Master Fang, don't worry, this table will not be defeated even if you go to the town, and it will not embarrass you to keep it. You invited me all the way, and you have to live up to it You are not. I have brought out the ability to press the bottom of the box."

After Liu Ah set up the pot, she prepared to prepare some big dishes today, so as to save some time tomorrow.The first thing to do is the crystal hoof. After the hoof is cooked, it has to be frozen overnight.The hoof was just bought, and Liu Zhuang burned the hoof to clean the hair on the hoof.Looking at the skilled movements, he knew that he often helped his mother.

Liu Ama cooked the pork belly for braised pork again, skillfully cooked the seasoning for braised pork, and started to simmer slowly in a large clay pot.Waiting for Liu Zhuang to finish chopping the pig's trotters, Liu Ama stewed the braised pork.Seeing the grandparent and grandson cooking in tacit understanding, Fang Zhiyuan suddenly felt that he was too industrious.

Obviously he and Liu Zhuang are not much different in age, but he is not inferior to adults in doing things.Watching him cut the shredded eel with the knife in his hand, that knife skill, that posture, professional level.This person is afraid of comparisons. He used to cook with his uncle, and he was more proud of his cooking skills. After all, at home, his cooking skills are still very good. Brother is not much better than him.But looking at the shredded eel that was cut thicker than a hair, Fang Zhiyuan had to admit that even if he didn't know how Liu Zhuang's cooking tasted, his knife skills were as good as his.

Fang Zeng saw that it was already noon, so he planned to tell Liu Ah Mo that everyone should have dinner first.To be honest, although the grandparents and grandchildren are old and young, they can do things with agility that is not inferior to others.Anyway, their uncle and nephew are useless.

The lunch was also simple, with Liu Ahma's stewed braised pork, Fang Zeng cut another plate of sauced beef, pickled radish and spicy cabbage from home, and pasted white flour pancakes.Originally, Ah Liu wanted to eat separately from Fang Zeng and the others, but Fang Zeng said it was fine.Two and a half older and younger, although he is in his prime, Ahma Liu is already so old, so he is not afraid of any bad rumors.The four of them sat at a table, and Fang Zhiyuan even made egg and carrot soup.

Liu Ah's braised pork is bright red in color and has a compelling aroma. They are all about the same size.Fang Zhiyuan looked at the first chopsticks and ate them, and then he didn't stop the chopsticks. The meat melted in his mouth, the lean meat was not dry but delicious, the fat meat was not greasy but soft and delicious, the skin was not old but firm tasty.Fang Zhiyuan ate more than half of the bowl in one go before stopping his chopsticks. Fang Zeng ate, and the chopsticks also pinched up.Liu Ahma was relieved to see Fang Zeng's uncle and nephew eating happily. It seemed that he was satisfied with his craftsmanship. If he was not satisfied, he would lose his position to the person who introduced him.

A bowl of meat bottomed out under the chopsticks of the uncle and nephew.At this time, Fang Zeng and Fang Zhiyuan were a little embarrassed to see it.There is no shortage of meat in his family, but the taste is not so good. Now it is too embarrassing to eat so much in front of others.It was also because Fang Zhiyuan and Fang Zeng were used to being lazy at home, so they forgot about the other people at the table.

In fact, the two of them can't be blamed, Liu Ama picked a few pieces of beef for Liu Zhuang, soaked it in soup, and picked some radishes to eat, Liu Zhuang's chopsticks didn't even stick out on the table.The grandparents and grandchildren sat on the other side as if they were little transparent, Fang Zhiyuan's uncle and nephew were too embarrassed to talk to them, and they didn't even look over there.

When Ama Liu saw it, she pushed the untouched bowl of braised pork to the uncle and nephew, meaning to give them to eat.Fang Zeng and Fang Zhiyuan were even more embarrassed. When they first ate, in order to avoid their embarrassment, they divided the beef and braised pork into two portions, each with one in front of them.

Now, they had finished eating, and they hadn't moved, even Fang Zhiyuan, who had a cheeky face, would feel a little burned.However, Fang Zhiyuan was the youngest among these few people by virtue of his age, so he said to Aunt Liu, "Mother Liu, the meat you cook is so delicious that I ate it all up. Uncle, you should let me know." Mother Liu will make me some braised pork, and save it for me to eat slowly."

Fang Zeng was a little embarrassed at first, and after hearing what his nephew said, he said to Liu Ah, "Liu Ah, the dishes you cook are really amazing, and I still have a lot of pork at home, please Liu Ah, please cook more for me." Braised pork, I don’t have a brother in my family, and I don’t usually cook well, but this time I tried Liu Ah’s cooking skills, my nephew will never forget it.”

When Liu Amo was told by his uncle and nephew, his face wrinkled from laughter, and he said with a smile: "It's no trouble, I will make more delicious food for your nephew today, so that he can eat well. It's rare Mr. Fang thinks highly of my craftsmanship, so I cook more dishes that can last, and it doesn't matter if I eat them for ten days and half a month in this cold weather."

Fang Zeng quickly thanked him, and Fang Zhiyuan quickly went to fill up another bowl of braised pork and brought it up.Seeing that Liu Zhuang didn't eat anything, he knew that he couldn't let it go at other people's homes, so he just took a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it in his bowl.Liu Zhuang raised his head and looked at Fang Zhiyuan in surprise, Fang Zhiyuan said with a cheeky smile, "I see you have a taste if you haven't eaten it, it's delicious." .

Liu Zhuang wanted to say that he knew that his aunt's cooking was delicious without having to taste it, but looking at Fang Zhiyuan who was full of kindness towards him, he said in a strange way: "Thank you!"

Fang Zhiyuan smiled, then gave him a few mouthfuls of braised pork, and said to Liu Zhuang, "Eat it quickly, or it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Liu Zhuang looked at Fang Zhiyuan and smiled, Fang Zhiyuan suddenly found that Liu Zhuang's smile was very cute, with two dimples, he looked like a silly giant panda.I didn't expect Liu Zhuang, who looked like a tough guy, to smile so much, it was so fun.

Fang Zhiyuan said to Liu Zhuang: "You look beautiful when you smile, you should smile more."

Liu Zhuang was taken aback, this was the first time someone used good looks to describe him.What he hears the most is "sensible, capable, and strong."He has never had anything to do with good looks. He himself knows that he looks like a man. His mother always said that he and his deceased father are carved out of the same mold.I also often worry that I won't be able to find a good family in the future, and I will suffer when talking about others.

He was also shunned by the little brothers in the village because of his great strength and strong body. He couldn't learn the softness and love of other brothers, so naturally he was kept at a respectful distance by other little guys.This was the first time someone said that he had a pretty smile, even though he knew that Fang Zhiyuan should be speaking politely, Liu Zhuang's ears were still red.

After lunch, Liu Ahma brought Liu Zhuang to cook other dishes, while Fang Zhiyuan and Fang Zeng prepared things for tomorrow's birthday.Lin Cheng's family sent over Fang Zhiyuan's new clothes a few days ago, a padded jacket and cotton trousers, the clothes were all sewn with rabbit skin brought over from Fang's house, it looked light and tight, not bulging It's cumbersome to wear.

Lin Cheng's family also sewed a hat and gloves with extra leather. They are fluffy, white and soft. They look good-looking, but Fang Zhiyuan feels too feminine when he looks at them, and he refuses to wear them anyway.Fang Zeng didn't force it, so he put it in Fang Zhiyuan's box.

Fang Zhiyuan tidied up his room. Someone will come tomorrow, maybe they will come to his room to have a look. Although he is not lazy usually, it is not spotless.In order not to be called sloppy tomorrow, Fang Zhiyuan was going to clean every corner and corner today until he couldn't find a single hair.

The same is true for Fang Zeng, cleaning his room in full swing.Liu Zhuang prepared all the ingredients that his mother would use.Amo Liu felt sorry for her grandson, so she asked him to rest and play outside, and the rest of Liu Zhuang couldn't help much.

Liu Zhuang thought about it and went out. When he came here, he saw wild rabbits on the mountain here. He went out for a while and said that he might not be able to get a rabbit back.He has learned kung fu from the Liu family uncle in the village for several years, and with his natural strength, it doesn't take much trouble to hunt a rabbit or a pheasant.Even though he is 12 years old, he is not as skilled as an ordinary hunter, so he dares to go up the mountain alone to find treasures and play with rabbits.If his mother never allowed him to go to the deep mountains, big prey could be obtained, so his mother would not have to work so hard.

He brought a sickle and was just about to go out for a walk when he saw Fang Zhiyuan playing dust on the top of the gate with a feather duster. Unfortunately, he was not tall enough and did not move a stool, so he played on the tiptoes.Seeing him, Liu Zhuang stepped forward to move a stool, and said to Fang Zhiyuan, "Well, use the stool to stand up and play. I'll support you, and you can play it more cleanly."

Fang Zhiyuan heard Liu Zhuang's voice, and then saw how stupid his toes were on the mat, he immediately felt embarrassed.He had no choice but to laugh and say, "Thank you, I forgot to say my name. My name is Fang Zhiyuan, so you can call me Huzi." After finishing speaking, he quickly climbed onto the stool brought by Liu Zhuang Liu Zhuang was afraid that he would fall, so he supported him steadily underneath.

Fang Zhiyuan flicked the top of the door to dust, and came down to thank Liu Zhuang: "Thank you! If it weren't for you, I would have had to fix it for a while. By the way, where did you want to go just now?"

Liu Zhuang didn't hide it, and said to Fang Zhiyuan: "When I came here, I saw rabbits on this mountain, and I wanted to go up the mountain to have a look."

As soon as Fang Zhiyuan heard that he was interested, his uncle never took him into the mountains except that time to pick some wild fruits.He knew that although there were no big prey on the mountain here, he had to follow his uncle, who was distracted from taking care of him, which delayed the hunting.He didn't mention it again, and when it came to winter, he was afraid of the cold and didn't want to move.Listening to Liu Zhuang's words today, aroused some thoughts in my heart.

However, he still said: "Well, Liu Zhuang, there are wild animals on the mountain, only old hunters like my uncle can go for a walk, otherwise it may be unsafe. You are still young, if you really want to go, wait until my uncle has time Now, take us there again." Fang Zhiyuan said that he looked like an old-fashioned little adult, which made Liu Zhuang feel amused.

But Liu Zhuang thought so too, after all, he came to someone else, so it's fine to go wandering around the mountain and nothing happens, but if something happens, it's still ugly to him and others in the end.He didn't have to cause trouble because of a rabbit, so he didn't tell Fang Zhiyuan about his good skills.

Fang Zhiyuan saw that Liu Zhuang stopped talking about going up the mountain, and thought that his own words had an effect, so he stopped Liu Zhuang.Thinking about it this way, he was afraid that Liu Zhuang would lose his energy, so he habitually used the method of coaxing Xiao Zhuang to coax Liu Zhuang, took out two tangerines from his pocket, stuffed them to Liu Zhuang, and said, "Come on, let's eat first." Get something, I'll take you to see my newly hatched chicks later, it's fun."

Liu Zhuang is still the first to eat tangerines. The mother in the family lives frugally. Although she loves him, she is not willing to buy tangerines for him to eat. However, the farmer’s family is fine and no one will buy such a rare thing. They can buy both. It's a catty of meat, it's too late.

Liu Zhuang refused to ask for it, so how could he say more than Fang Zhiyuan, eating tangerines, looking at the fluffy chicken cubs, and then looking at Fang Zhiyuan who was smiling happily, Liu Zhuang thought, this is what Brother Xiaoqiu said friends.
