The fertile water of farming does not flow to outsiders' fields

After all, Father Xue hadn't been in the field for a long time. After digging for a day, his back was so sore. After eating, he hummed on the bed and pretended to be disabled.

Xue Yinsong washed the dishes in twos and twos, lit an oil lamp and entered the room: "Don't pretend, you pick up your coat and I'll make you some wine."

Father Xue lay on the bed, and while being rubbed comfortably, he complained: "The land in Chenjia Village is not good, and the soil doesn't look very fertile. If you want to grow good crops, you have to spend a lot of effort to change the land, which is a troublesome thing! It is comparable to our Tianba Village. The land in our Tianba Village is all authentic black soil. The soil is so fertile that it is almost bleeding oil. Can... ouch, baby, take it easy!"

Xue Yinsong replied angrily: "When you come to Chenjia Village, you should accept the reality. No matter how thin the soil is, you have to grow crops. There is nothing to complain about."

"Hey, just to miss it." Father Xue stretched his back. It is rented out, and the rent is not high, and I only grow two acres of land, which is only enough for food and clothing, and if I want to make a fortune, I have to think of other ways."

"I thought about it too, but when those tenants came to plead for mercy, he relented and renewed the rent, and I could only stare blankly. Now that I have added another person, let alone food and clothing, I am worried about how to live this winter." , I wonder if Dad has any good ideas?"

Going around and going back to the old problem of raising oneself, this dead cub is a threat in disguise, Xue old man pouted his lips and thought for a while and said: "Is there any fish in the river near here? What kind of mountain products come out of the mountain? You can rely on the mountain to eat the mountain." Relying on water to eat water is an old custom of farmers."

"There is a river, but it's not too big. I heard that the mountain is rich, but I dare not go too deep. It is said that there is a goblin cave in the deep mountain. Goblins like to turn into young and beautiful women to seduce men. Before and after Four or five people went in but didn't come out."

"Bah! Just fucking nonsense, people who enter the mountain are afraid of getting lost, big beasts, and not having enough dry food and water, and other fears of being a ghost? Goblins? There are hundreds of households in the Chen family village, why don't you see goblins coming down the mountain to hook up with you? What about men?" As an ancient atheist, Father Xue didn't believe in that at all.

Xue Yinsong is very superstitious. For example, he believes that there are gods and ghosts who repay the world for reincarnation, but he doesn't believe in ghosts and ghosts. He said with a smile: "After two days, the vegetables are planted. How about my father and son going up to the mountain to see?"

Father Xue fell silent, breathing calmly as if in a deep sleep.Xue Yinsong held back his laughter and said to himself for a long time: "Sleep, it's good to sleep, I wanted to discuss the matter of killing chickens tomorrow, so let's talk about it another day."

Father Xue shook twice, and finally jumped up impatiently and cursed: "You bastard, what's the matter with killing a chicken for your father to eat!" Xue Yinsong replied with a smile: "Kill it, anyway. Those capons don’t lay eggs, go to the village tomorrow to buy a few, and you can choose.”

Father Xue shook his head and said, "I don't know what you learned from me before. You don't even know capon. It's really embarrassing to you."

After dinner early in the morning, Father Xue was dragged to the village to buy chickens.There are more than 200 households in Chenjia Village, which is considered a large village. There is a small market in a small open space next to the village every two days.

Father Xue walked into the row where the chickens were sold, grabbed a few to have a look, put them down and left without saying a word, then went to another house, grabbed a few, put them down and left.

A woman with a pointed chin next to her stretched her face: "After touching it and not buying it, what kind of virtue is it! This chicken is the most stingy, the hands are hot, and it is easy to die if you touch it!"

Father Xue pretended not to hear, and walked a few more steps and stopped when he saw the black and yellow-haired chickens in front of him: "How do you sell your chickens?"

The stall owner is a young man in his seventeens and eighteens, wearing a single shirt, his lips are blue and his face is black with cold: "Ten coins and three pieces."

Father Xue counted a total of 15, and he was satisfied: "I bought all 45 papers, how about it?" The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Take it! I will rush to take the money to see a doctor for my mother." Xue Yinsong listened Then he counted 50 wen and said: "It's still 50 wen, please go and ask the doctor."

The young man was stunned, took Qian Xi and said, "Thank you, big brother. My name is Chen Zhi and I live in the south of the village. I go to the seventh house. My family's reed chickens are the most willing to lay eggs. If you want to buy chickens in the future, come to me directly." .” As he said, he grabbed the money and hurried to leave, but he was stopped by a tough man next to him: “Chen Xiaoer, how about the rules!”

Chen Zhi took out five cents with a face of reluctance and said: "I am in a hurry to see a doctor for my mother, but I forgot." After finishing speaking, he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xue Yinsong: "Wait a minute, the money for selling chickens will be paid to you." What is he doing? Dare to rob in broad daylight, there is no law!"

Chen Zhi hurriedly grabbed Xue Yinsong and said in a low voice: "Are you new here? Stop shouting. You can go ask Li Zheng and you will know, this person is not easy to mess with!" He tightened his purse and ran away from the crowd.

The burly man was amused, weighed the five coins in his hand and squinted and said: "What, you want to break the rules? If you want to break the rules, first ask Mr. Li Zheng, this is what Mr. Li Zheng personally agreed to!"

After all, old man Xue has grown into a smart man. He knew that this man was in power when he saw him, so he grabbed Xue Yinsong and shouted in a low voice: "Tiger, don't cause trouble! We have bought it, let's go!" Xue Yinsong followed outside without making a sound, only Hearing the big man scolding: "What kind of bear, mother! How dare you control me!"

Father Xue pulled Xue Yinsong out, and walked a few steps forward to meet a pork stall.The stall owner was a man in his forties, with a few pieces of meat piled up on the chopping board, and the pork offal was threaded through a bamboo strip and hung aside.

Chenjia Village belongs to the south, and is generally richer, and they don't like to eat offal.

When Mr. Xue asked, it only cost [-] Wen, and he immediately paid for it.Xue Yinsong thought of his father's cooking skills, and was also a little fascinated. He quickly wrapped it in a lotus leaf and hugged it in his arms, saying, "Father, I see that you are in a good mood today. I'll call you a bar."

Father Xue rolled his eyes with a smile, and even praised him for his filial piety.

The two brought chickens and wine back home, and Father Xue set up an iron pot to boil the water and said, "Tiger, come and fetch water for me." He took out the intestines and soaked them on the side, and took out the heart and liver first. , Just rub it with water and wash it twice.

Cleaning pig lungs is a bit more troublesome. You have to use a funnel to fill the lungs with water, and wash them repeatedly until they are white.

The large intestine and pork belly were scalded with boiling water, and then slowly scraped and washed with a knife. After repeated scraping twice, they were rinsed with water three times before washing was completed.

Pork lungs and large intestines are made into spicy lung sausages, pork livers are finely sliced ​​into fried livers, pig hearts and tripe are rubbed with salt and hung under the eaves to be eaten tomorrow.

Changhui waited and waited until it was time to eat, his eyes became straight when he saw a table of meat and vegetables, and the chopsticks seemed to have eyes, and he kept eating between them.Xiao Xiucai ate a couple of mouthfuls and laughed, "Isn't this the meal cooked by Brother Xue?"

Xue Yinsong kept silent, but Father Xue narrowed his eyes with a smile and boasted: "I will cook it every day after I like it!"

As soon as the words fell, Father Xue immediately regretted it, but Xiao Xiucai and Changhui applauded at the same time, and Xiao Xiucai said: "Uncle Xue's craftsmanship is much better than Brother Xue's. It would be great if I could enjoy Uncle Xue's craftsmanship every day." Changhui is the dog's leg the most: "Grandpa Xue, Changhui likes to eat the dishes made by Grandpa Xue the most."

Father Xue was about to repent, but he heard Xue Yinsong squint his eyes and said: "Tomorrow father and Mr. Pei will go to register together..."

Father Xue grabbed a piece of fat intestines in grief and anger, and chewed them silently and repeatedly.
