My family has fields waiting to be cultivated

On the second day, Mourning woke up with bouts of headaches, as if countless horses were galloping past in his head, trampling on his brain nerves, frowning and opening his eyes with great difficulty, the enthusiastic sun rushed towards him with teeth and claws Coming over, he closed his eyes again uncomfortably, and it took him a while to open them again.

The familiar environment came into view. He rubbed his painful head and sat up from the bed. There was a moment of blankness in his mind, and he couldn't remember what happened before. The room was quiet and familiar to him. The environment is the environment he would see when he wakes up every morning, but this time it seems to be different, firstly, he has never woken up with such a headache in the morning, secondly, he found that he was wearing clothes, It was the same suit as yesterday, which meant that he went to bed without a shower last night.

In the end, Momo, who has always been the most clingy to him, did not stay on the bed to wait for him to wake up this time. There was no one in the room except him, and the bed next to him did not look like he had slept on it. He held his head and tried his best He couldn't help thinking about what happened yesterday, but the result was not satisfactory. His memory only stayed in his happy conversation with Nangong Ye, and then what?

The following memory was blank, he couldn't even recall how he returned to the room, and when did Nangong Ye leave?He has no impression of any of this.Combined with the pain in his head that seemed to be splitting open, no matter how unwilling he was, he still had to admit that he was drunk last night!

This realization made his entire face collapse. It was really rude. As the host who invited people to dinner, he drank so much that he didn't know what was going on in the end. It was really rude!

When he was still in the real Mourning's body in modern times, his alcohol capacity was very good. He participated in a few parties, and he was the one who was drunk the most each time, but he was the one with the most sober mind in the end. Still him.Because of this, he forgot for a moment that he had changed his body now, and when he was not sure how his current body could hold alcohol, he took it for granted that his alcohol holding capacity was still good...

Really, what a miscalculation!

After a brief grooming, Mourning walked out of the room with his head still in pain. When he walked to the yard, he happened to see Mrs. Niu who had just washed the dishes in the kitchen. I asked anxiously: "Ah Ning finally woke up? Is the head still hurting?" Generally, people who wake up from a hangover will have a headache. Go and bring you a bowl, and you won't feel so uncomfortable after drinking it."

"Please, Mrs. Niu." Mourning frowned and nodded. He had never tasted the taste of a hangover. Now he finally knew the taste of a hangover. .

Mrs. Niu went to the kitchen to serve hangover soup. Mourning originally planned to go to the restaurant to have a look, but his head was so uncomfortable that he couldn't stand it, so he had to give up that idea and sit down in a gazebo in the yard. , A gust of cool wind blew over, slightly relieving his discomfort.

"Come on, let's drink it quickly." The old lady has already brought over the hangover soup, and Mo Ning took it according to her words. It's made of raw materials, but at this moment, he didn't care about the taste anymore, he pinched his nose and forced himself to gulp it down, just hoping to make the discomfort go away quickly.

After drinking the hangover soup, Mrs. Niu immediately put a maltose on the ground in a considerate manner. Mourning quickly took it and put it in her mouth. I know you won't like this taste, but luckily I was prepared for it."

Faced with Mrs. Niu's joking words, Mourning was a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, put the empty bowl on the table in the gazebo, suddenly remembered what happened last night, and hurriedly asked: "What did Nangong Ye go back last night?" ?”

Mrs. Niu replied: "Last night, Ah Niu got drunk very early. I took Ah Niu back to the room to settle him down, and when I went back, I didn't see Master Nangong, and Ah Ning was no longer there. The man in blue was there to pack up, so I quickly stopped him and cleaned up by myself."

Hearing this, Mourning was even more helpless, he let out a long breath, and his voice was a little helpless, "I was so rude yesterday, not only did I get so drunk, but I even asked the guests to pack up."

Aunt Niu comforted him, "Don't worry too much about Ah Ning, it's just because Ah Ning doesn't drink well, besides, I didn't ask the guests to pack up."

Mourning nodded, his face still a little decadent.

"That's right!" Mrs. Niu suddenly remembered the person in the blue dress who she asked him to hand over to Mourning yesterday. She took out the stack of papers from her sleeve and handed it to Mourning, "This is yesterday's paper." Master Nangong said he would give it to you." Nangong Ye originally planned to give it to Mourning after the meal, but he didn't expect that the other party would get drunk in the middle of the meal, so in the end he had to give it to Zhuqing and let him Zhuqing gave it to the other party.

"What is this?" Mourning was surprised, that's for sure, he never thought that the other party would have something to give him.

Seeing that Mourning had already picked it up, Mrs. Niu replied, "The person in the blue clothes said it was a little gift from Master Nangong." For these little people, this is simply a big wish.

"Be careful?" Mourning repeated in surprise, and opened the folded paper. After reading it back and forth several times, his eyes widened involuntarily, even though the paper was written in traditional Chinese characters. Yes, although the content on it is a bit like classical Chinese, and there are a few fonts that he can't quite read, but after he read it back and forth several times, he still understands it, and he understands the general meaning on the paper. what is the content.

Three thin pieces of paper helped him solve a big problem at once. He has changed from a black household without household registration to a legal resident of Licheng.When he first came to this strange place before, he didn't understand anything, and he didn't even think about the most important household registration issue, so he rashly prepared for the opening of Momo Restaurant. Halfway through the household registration, Momo Restaurant was ready to open soon. As a last resort, he temporarily postponed the household registration process, planning to wait for Momo Restaurant to open before handling this matter, but I didn't expect to encounter that kind of thing, and in desperation, I had to postpone the household registration again.

But now the other party has already done it for him, and even sent him Chen Chen's deed of selling himself!He was so flattered by such a big gift!

He stood up abruptly, "No, this gift is too heavy, I must thank him properly." But in just a few days, he felt as if he owed the other party a lot, so much that it made him He had an illusion that he could never clear up in his life.

Mrs. Niu nodded, "This gift is indeed a bit heavy, but Ah Ning, Ah Niu said that Master Nangong has a huge influence in Licheng, this gift is indeed very heavy in our eyes, but in Nangong In the eyes of the young master, this is not worth mentioning at all."

"Whether it is important or light in his eyes, at least this gift has done me a huge favor at this time. I feel that I owe a huge favor." This made him feel uneasy and panicked inside. Yes, what he is most afraid of in his life is to owe favors to others. If he can, he doesn't want to owe any kind of favors.Money is easy to repay, but debt of favor is hard to repay!

"That's true." Mrs. Niu nodded, "If you say this, you really owe Master Nangong a huge favor."

"And—" Mourning frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, "—I find it very strange, I am not related to him, why did he help me like this?" Probably because he has seen so many people in modern times. He lost that indifference, which is why he now wonders about other people's acts of kindness.

"Maybe it's because Young Master Nangong is more enthusiastic?" Mrs. Niu is a very simple countryman, her idea is very simple, she thinks that Nangong Ye will help Mourning, it must be out of enthusiasm just like their husband and wife.She thinks that Nangong Ye should be a rare good person. Although his status is respected, he doesn't have the aloofness of those rich families in the drama. That's why he is so enthusiastic to help Mourning, and he is so kind to ordinary people like them. They ate at the same table without any intention of looking down on them.

Thinking about it now, it was like a dream when I ate that meal yesterday. Mrs. Niu knew who she was, but she was just a woman from the countryside. Seeing some important person, she never thought about meeting any important person, but she never thought that the only person in her life who had the opportunity to eat at the same table would be such a person who looks like a banished fairy!

Mrs. Niu has never read a book, and she doesn't know how to describe a person's appearance and temperament, so no matter how shocking and amazing she is, she can only describe it as beautiful. She has lived most of her life. I have never seen a person who is more beautiful than Nangong Ye, and I have never seen a person with more temperament than Nangong Ye, and she just looked at him like that, but it made her feel a sense of fear. A kind of sincerity and fear that dare not look directly.

There is no intersection between people with intuition and people like them, but just last night, they sat at the same table with him and ate the same meals. Like her, Ah Niu also had memories of last night, and Mrs. Niu almost thought she was just having a dream.

"Maybe." Unaware that Mrs. Niu's mind had turned to other places, Mourning nodded vaguely, not wanting to dwell on this issue anymore, and made up her mind that she would only do this no matter what purpose Nangong Ye was in. Anyway, the other party did help him a lot, so he must thank the other party properly.

Thinking of this, he was slightly relieved, and then he was in the mood to think about other things, and immediately realized that the little baby who had always been tired of being by his side as long as he stayed in the backyard had disappeared, and turned his head to look Looking around, he asked suspiciously: "Where's Momo? Why didn't you see him? And Xiaochen? Where did they go?" This kind of situation is rare, Xiaowaer and Chen Chen have been staying in the yard all the time Playing, why is it gone now?

"Today there is an opera in the town, I see that Momo and Xiaochen have stayed in the yard and never went out, so I asked A Niu to take them out to see the excitement, children just need to go outside to play more, every day You'd be a fool to stay in the yard."

Mourning nodded, "Oh, that's fine." That's true. During the time since Mo Mo Restaurant opened, he really spent too little time on Xiaowaer, so it's hard for Xiaowaer to be so obedient, yes He didn't cry or make trouble in the cold, he just played with himself in the yard, fortunately there was Chen Chen to accompany him.

"By the way, Mrs. Niu, I plan to let Xiaochen learn cooking with me, but considering that he is too young now, I plan to let him go to a private school to study first, let him read and write first, and wait until later." I will start teaching him cooking in a few years, help me to find out where there is a private school nearby, right?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Niu frowned disapprovingly, "Ah Ning, I'm not talking about you, but if Xiaochen goes to school, who will take care of Momo? Momo is so small, if there is no one to accompany her No way." She originally thought that Mo Ning brought Chen Chen back because he wanted him to help take care of Momo, but hearing what he said now, it seemed that it was not the case.

Mourning shook his head, "Xiao Chen is still young, and he may not even be able to take good care of himself." Of course, he didn't even believe it himself. Chen Chen was indeed only eight years old, but his mind was not at all. It's not like what an eight-year-old child should have. It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Chen is definitely a young adult. His thinking is very mature and he is very sensible. Maybe this is the last thing he would agree to let Chen Chen stay. The main reason.

Moreover, after just a few days of getting along with each other, Mourning already knew that Chen Chen was a very smart kid, no matter what he was able to respond quickly, and even draw inferences from one instance, he believed that as long as someone trained him, he would definitely To become a very outstanding talent, just because of this, he also wants to be Chen Chen's Bole.

"But—" Mourning's words could not completely convince Aunt Niu, she frowned and wanted to continue to refute, but Mourning shook her head to stop her, "The restaurant is busy because it just opened Point, when the business stabilizes after a while, it won't be so busy, and Momo will be taken care of by me. Besides, if the restaurant's business is really good, I plan to hire one or two more guys. That way, everyone won’t have to work so hard.”

"What about your daily dish?" Mrs. Niu was still worried.

Mourning laughed, "One dish a day is only a hundred servings a day, I can handle it with my busy schedule."

In the end, Mrs. Niu reluctantly agreed with Mourning's words, and promised him that she would pay attention to the private school nearby.Next, Mourning asked about the business of Momo Restaurant today. After receiving the news that the restaurant's business was still very good and it was not greatly affected by yesterday's incident, he finally felt relieved, and then Mrs. Niu I asked him what was the daily dish today, because today's [-] servings have already been ordered for nearly [-] servings, and this time the morning has not yet passed, if there is no accident, before noon, the [-] servings of daily dishes One dish per day will be ordered.

Mourning told her that today's daily dish is the mushroom tofu soup they ate last night, because this mushroom tofu soup was prepared for yesterday, and it was postponed for a day after something like that happened up.

Tofu needs to be bought again. Fortunately, my head, which is suffering from hangover, is much better after drinking the hangover soup. After Mourning told Mrs. Niu, he went out by himself. Sliced ​​tofu soup needs two pieces of tofu, so one hundred servings of tofu soup with mushrooms and tofu needs 200 yuan of tofu. A lot of tofu, one happily said that he would deliver it to the door himself, telling him not to worry.This Mourning is naturally what he wished for. After telling the location of Momo Restaurant, the stall owner picked up the burden and sent it there.

And Mourning didn't go back immediately, but turned around and went in the opposite direction. He had been obsessed with making peanut oil by himself and cooking with lard every day. It was always too greasy and the cost was a bit high. I have a little time today, let's make peanut oil!

Some time ago, he had already found out where he could buy high-quality peanuts, so today he went directly to that place, and found the shop that everyone was talking about without any effort. He went in and planned to take a look, but unexpectedly The owner of the store actually patronized Mo Mo Restaurant, and recognized him immediately. The other party was very enthusiastic, which made Mourning bewildered. After that, he finally explained the real purpose. It turned out that the other party was because of the good business today He couldn't get away, and when he finally had time to go to Mo Mo Restaurant, the daily dish had already been ordered, and he went late, so seeing Mourning coming in at this moment, he wanted to ask Mourning if he could give him an extra meal. He made up an extra.

Mourning couldn't laugh or cry for a while, nodding and shaking his head, the other party seemed to know that his request was a little funny, so he smiled bitterly, and then told Mourning embarrassingly that it was actually because his wife had eaten the lotus he brought back. After Ye Fen steamed the chicken, he couldn't forget it all the time. He especially told him to bring her a daily dish every day. He was worrying about how to explain to his wife today when Mourning just came in. It was like It's like they came here to save him.

After listening to the other party's words, Mourning shook his head with a smile. He thought he was a foodie, but he never thought he was a strict wife. He shook his head amusedly. Mourning agreed to his request, "Just this time, don't make an example!" He ordered Said, the other party hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Definitely, definitely." Then he remembered that Mourning must have come here to buy something, "Are you here to buy something this time?"

Mourning nodded, "I want to see Peanut."

As soon as the other party heard this, he immediately led Mourning to the place where the peanuts were placed, and said that he would definitely give him the most affordable price. Mourning smiled, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of peanuts. Next, it really is a high-quality product with plump grains. Mourning can already imagine how fragrant the peanut oil made from these peanuts will be.

Generally speaking, three to five taels of peanut oil can be squeezed out of a pound of peanuts. This kind of high-quality peanuts should be able to squeeze out five taels of peanut oil. Mourning calculated that a pound of peanuts can squeeze out five taels of oil. In other words, ten catties is five catties, and restaurants generally use a lot of oil. When the business is good, they can use up to several catties of oil a day. After thinking about it, he finally decided to buy fifty catties of peanuts to go back. If it is 25 catties, it should be able to make between [-] catties and [-] catties of oil, which should be enough for a few days.

So in the end he bought fifty catties of peanuts, and the other party did not dare to miscalculate the money, and sold him fifty catties of peanuts at a very fair price, and offered to help him deliver the goods to his door, Mourning naturally He will not refuse, so he is still happy and relaxed!While waiting for the boss to weigh the peanuts, he looked around and accidentally found that the other party not only sold peanuts, but also sesame seeds. He froze for a moment, then slapped his head suddenly, yes, he has always ignored the very important thing One point, sesame oil is very fragrant, and many foods will be more fragrant when seasoned with sesame oil. He has been using lard and vegetable oil instead of peanut oil and sesame oil. If he makes peanut oil and sesame oil by himself, he does not need to use lard and vegetable oil to replace.

One catty of sesame seeds can probably squeeze out more than three to four taels of sesame oil. After thinking about it, he bought another ten catties of sesame seeds. He paid the money, and the boss happily took the money and pushed a small cart Come out, put fifty catties of peanuts and ten catties of sesame seeds on it, and head towards Momo Restaurant, Mourning followed behind him empty-handed, talking and laughing, and went back together.

Mushroom Tofu Soup is easy to make, and you can make several servings at one time, so by the evening, Mourning has almost finished the [-] servings of Mushroom Tofu Soup, only a few people have not yet come so it is not finished In consideration of making peanut oil later, Mourning asked Auntie Niu to take out a large pot and make the remaining few portions of soup with mushrooms, tofu and pork slices, put them in the large pot, and heat them over low heat. In case the soup was cold, and after telling Xiaoyu how much mushroom tofu soup should be filled, Mourning went back to the backyard.

He plans to make peanut oil tonight.

The fifty catties of peanuts had all been shelled. He used the dustpan brought by Mrs. Niu to dust out the peanut shells and firewood, and then sifted out other debris, such as sand and dirt Kind of sundries, the fewer peanut kernel magazines after screening, the better.After completing these prelude work, Mourning had to give a sigh of relief. As expected of a seller with a good reputation, he sifted for a long time with a circle and a dustpan, and the amount of impurities sifted out was so small that it was almost negligible.

Pour the sieved peanuts on the ground covered with a layer of clean cloth, fiddle with it so that the peanut kernels are evenly spread on the clean cloth in a thin layer, and then use a stone mill to crush the peanut kernels vigorously. Before crushing the peanut kernels, he boiled the water first, and then went to grind the peanut kernels. When he had crushed the peanut kernels to a similar degree, the water was almost boiled, and then he evenly spread the crushed peanut kernels on the ground. An iron pan drawer, waiting to steam the crushed peanut kernels.

The crushed peanut kernels after steaming are already oily, and then he quickly packs the cakes and stacks, but because he actually has a little knowledge of making peanut oil, he knows that the cakes can be wrapped in a single circle, while the cake circles It is also necessary to align the upper and lower mouths. He is not very familiar with this link, and he did it according to his own understanding, so after wrapping the steamed crushed peanut kernels in cloth, he followed his vague memory to wrap the wrapped cakes. The crushed peanut kernels are compacted and flattened so that the middle is slightly higher.

After the cakes are stacked, they must be squeezed immediately, and they should be pressed step by step, lightly and frequently, until the oil yield reaches about 90%. At this time, you can stop, and then carefully scrape off the edges of the cake with a machete, and finally Crush the cake that has been scraped off the edge of the cake with a stone mill until the cake can pass through a three-mesh sieve, then follow the previous steps again for the crushed peanut kernels obtained again, and combine and filter the crude oil obtained by pressing twice At this time, the filtered peanut oil is ready to eat.He looked at the peanut oil he had just made, and felt a little joy in his heart. The few peanut oils are light yellow, somewhat transparent, and have a strong fragrance. There is no doubt that the dishes fried with such peanut oil will be very delicious .

When he thought of this, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth, and then the filtered residue was mixed into raw crushed peanut kernels and squeezed repeatedly. stop.At this time, the sky was completely dark, and it was already past dinner time.

It turned out that it had been so long, no wonder he was so hungry.Maybe it was because he had already told Mrs. Niu not to let others disturb him, so no one came to call him during this period. He was very hungry, but he was very happy in his heart. He touched the sweat on his forehead with a smile, bent over Go down and pour all the squeezed peanut oil into a wooden barrel, carry it to the kitchen, cover it with a pot lid, and tell Master Zhang tomorrow that you can start cooking with peanut oil.

At that time, it will become a major feature of Mo Mo Restaurant again. He is making wishful thinking and has great expectations for the business of Mo Mo Restaurant in the future. He believes that the business of Mo Mo Restaurant will be very good!

Putting away the prepared peanut oil, he found something casually in the kitchen to cushion his stomach, and he planned to go back to his room to find Momo. The process of making sesame oil is much more troublesome than that of peanut oil, and it also takes longer , so he doesn’t plan to go back to make sesame oil. If he wants to make sesame oil, he won’t be able to do it for a day, and he will have to let it settle for a few days after he finishes it. Not all dishes are used, and it doesn't matter if you take a while.

When he returned to the room, Momo was lying on the bed with his chin propped up on his hands, facing the door, gazing intently at the little boy sitting by the bed, and the little boy was holding a long grass in his hand, short His short and thin fingers flipped over and over again, skillfully and quickly, almost making his movements invisible, but following his movements, a vivid grasshopper was about to take shape. Mourning was speechless.

Don't look at the little boy, he knows a lot of things!

"Momo, Xiaochen—"

Before his voice fell, the little baby had already turned his head quickly, staring at Mourning with a pair of big round eyes, his cheeks were puffed up, and his small mouth was tightly pursed, looking angry. Even the little boy stopped what he was doing, and looked at him quietly with a pair of black eyes like ink.

Mourning touched his head, a little puzzled by their reaction, "What's wrong?" Didn't the little baby fly towards him earlier at this time?Why is his reaction so strange today?Even Xiao Chen's reaction was very strange, usually he would at least call him master, but today he just stared at him without saying a word, what happened?
