clang farming notes

This day was the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, because the Du family was still on the road for the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. At that time, they were only on the road and didn't care about any festivals, and they didn't even eat a piece of mooncake.Counting a few more years, there are still some dirty things, and I haven't lived this festival well. Now that I have settled down in Beidi, Du Zhongping already has some reputation in the village, and Du'an has his own career. Even Jin'er It has been the happiest year to have some good playmates.Not to mention that there are two more brothers who are always supporting and helping the family, which means that the festival of reunion must be well spent.

Duan still has a small thought in private: Although he was considered a family during the holidays before, he was still a milk brother. Now Brother Ping is willing to let him hold his hand. Although he didn't say it, he is actually a family member. By default, it's the matter between himself and him.How can this not make myself elated?Now, I can be regarded as Ping'er's closest person, and I really form a family with Ping'er and Jin'er. This Mid-Autumn Festival of reunion is even more meaningful.

As the saying goes: women do not sacrifice to the stove, and men do not worship the moon.So the two families that didn't even have a hen didn't have to worry about anything else. The only thing Duan could do was let everyone eat well.

If it's in the south, needless to say, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, holding pincers to appreciate osmanthus is indispensable, but in Yanbei, Duan has never seen the shadow of a crab, let alone an osmanthus tree.But it's okay, it's not bad for us to eat cakes and admire chrysanthemums.I made the mooncakes by myself, because I was too busy, and Duan only made one kind of mooncakes, which was green silk roses with ground sesame seeds and peanuts, and the sugar was rock sugar. The fillings were full, except for the aroma of dried fruit , and the unique taste of Qingsi rose. Although it is ordinary and there is nothing precious in it, it tastes very good.

To say that this blue-haired rose can be regarded as a local characteristic.The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, and there is always some mooncakes to eat. No matter how simple the mooncakes are, they still need flour, sugar, oil, etc. For farmers, it is more cost-effective to make them themselves.Therefore, there are things selling moon cake fillings in the market recently.When Duan was visiting the market, he found that many people were selling them, so he couldn't help but ask.It turns out that the green silk is the dried apricot pulp, which is cut into thin silk when making the stuffing; and the rose is the thorn rose flower that can be seen in many places in Yanbei, pickled with sugar or honey , There are many colors of plum blossoms, but most people like to use the bright red one, which looks festive and beautiful. When eating, just shred it and mix it into the filling.Duan has also seen thorn roses in the wild. The flowers are extremely lively, colorful and fragrant, but the sharp thorns on the branches make people stay away.Duan secretly made up his mind that he must marinate a little during the Chinese New Year. I heard that this is also very good for the Lantern Festival.

A lot of mooncakes were made, and Duan thought about giving a few pieces to each of the children who helped out. He has been busy these days, and he hasn't thanked him yet.Although the money earned in the future must be distributed to the children, and it is best to let them talk sweetly for this big festival.There is also Lizheng's family, and I want to give a few yuan, which is more or less a wish.

For the rest of the dishes, Duan also decided to use the caught fish, shrimp, loach, etc.The few people in the family, Du Zhongping, Fang Sheng and Xiao Jiner are all cats. They love these things very much. Generally, Zhao Ba has no problem as long as there is something to eat. Of course, it would be better if there is a large piece of meat. As for Duane himself, as long as he saw them eating happily, he felt at ease, besides, he was not picky about food.

Thinking that someone has a special liking for fruit, Duan went around and bought grapes that were in season, because he was eating them himself, so don’t give them as pictures. How about it, it's actually much sweeter than the tightly packed ones.

The person who bought the grapes was an acquaintance who had worked in Du's house.It should be said that most of the Du family hired people who cultivated the land later, but this person is an out-and-out householder, but he only gave birth to a son in his 30s. Now that he is in his 40s, most people can be grandpas. Come out to work to save money for your son.Compared with young people, this man in his 40s is naturally weaker in physical strength. He is afraid of being fired, so he asks his wife to make cakes made of corn flour mixed with vegetable leaves every day, and eats it almost every other hour. It depends on this to hold it up so that it will not be pulled down.Neither Du An nor Zhao Ba had a cold heart, so they resigned when they saw him like this, and even restrained a few helpers from gossiping about him.People's hearts are full of meat, and the master's attitude towards him is not bad. Unlike before, some people refused to use him or deducted wages when they saw that he was too old. There is also prepared mung bean soup to drink every day, so this person treats him well. The Du family had a good impression, even when they returned to their village, they did not say bad things about the Du family.

Today, I saw Duan deliberately picking out the bad-looking ones, thinking that he wanted to help him on purpose, and actually stopped him for a while. After hearing Duan explain the reason, he let go: "If you eat it by yourself, it's the best skewer. Grapes are big and sweet. If you want to make offerings or give them away, you have to pick the ones that look good.”

Duan built a grape trellis at home if he wanted to, and asked where to buy grape seedlings by the way.The man said: "I just bought it wherever I want? I'll plant a few for you when I go back, and I'll bring it to you in the spring of the new year, just plant it!"

Thinking in my heart that I had almost bought enough things, I wanted to go back, but I ran into Dazhu, who was out of breath, head on.

"Uncle An, Uncle Eight said that there are guests at home, so he asked you to buy more meat to go home! He said that people can't get used to your small fish and shrimps. Well, I want some snacks. Uncle Eight said that he wants to drink at night. !"

"Who's here?" Duan was a little puzzled. They usually don't go out during this big festival. Like today's market, it's only half a day. In the afternoon, everyone went home to celebrate the festival.

"It's Uncle Yu Qian from last time. He came here on a horse. He said that he won't be free in the future, so I'll find Uncle Ba for a drink or something." Uncle called out to deliver the letter.

As soon as Duan heard that it was the person who came during the Chinese New Year, he had a deep understanding of the food and drink capacity of those soldiers, so he gave the things in his hand to Da Zhu and asked him to take them back first: "I'll buy some more Things, take them back for me first. By the way, if I haven’t returned after school, you can tell your husband, just like I said, let you share the mooncakes you made and take them back. Try something new. You have followed me up the mountain and down the river these days, but you are exhausted."

Dazhu chuckled twice: "Uncle An really loves us, next time you tell me, we will go with you even if we go into the old forest!"

Duan angrily gave him a brain collapse: "I'll take you to the old forest, can your father spare me? You brat will pick nice things to say. Tell you, eating is not for free. Wait until tomorrow Work hard for me!" Da Zhu was so honest when he first came to Du's house to study, he didn't say a word for a long time.Now I don't know who to learn from to be so talkative, but this is how I look like a child, and I was too old before!Du An curled his lips and turned to go shopping. He didn't expect Da Zhu to study with Du Zhongping in the morning and run around the mountains with him in the afternoon. He talked too much and couldn't blame others.

Yesterday Duan took some fish and shrimp back to raise, thinking that it would be nice to eat fresh without crabs.It's just that it's not appropriate to treat guests with this little fish and shrimp.I turned around and bought a few catties of high-quality pork belly. After thinking about it, I bought another elbow. This one was marinated when I went home, but it can be served with wine. Finally, I found a fat chicken. I still have some mushrooms at home. I will stew the chicken again. Bar.How can I say that mynah's former friends are here, so I have to make a face for mynah, and I must not be called stingy.

Originally, the family prepared fruit wine with a mild taste. Thinking that Brother Ping and Fang Sheng could also drink a few sips, Duan made a big circle and bought a few catties of shochu and went back.

Sure enough, when Du An arrived home, Du Zhongping had dismissed the students from school and was busy distributing mooncakes to everyone.Some children took the mooncakes wrapped in oil paper, jumped all the way out, bumped into Duan who came in, saw Duan, smiled and thanked him.Duane was carrying things in his hands, and he really couldn't free his hand, or he really wanted to rub the child's head.After being with these children for a long time, I can't help but love them, all of them are good.

Entering the yard, I saw Zhao Ba and Du Zhongping talking with Yu Qian who had been here once, and hurriedly greeted them.Seeing that Yu Qian was proud of himself, he also stood up and returned the gift: "I'm going to trouble little brother Du again. Little brother's craftsmanship is nothing to say, let me satisfy my greed."

Fang Sheng put a plate of sliced ​​watermelon on the table, then came over to pick up what Duan was holding and put it in the kitchen.Only then did Duan free his hand to return the salute: "It's not troublesome, coming here is the same as going to the starling's house, just don't be polite."

Yu Qian was really not polite: "These days I was thinking about eating leek and egg stuffed water pie." Turning to Zhao Ba, he said: "You don't know, there are only one or two food sellers in Jinyang City. If you eat whole meat, you can still eat it, but it’s rare to eat this dish.”

Duan responded, "Since that's the case, let's eat this at noon and eat it in the evening." He made a plea and went to work.Duan had a good impression of this surplus money, and he could tell during the Chinese New Year that his relationship with Zhao Ba was stronger than others.Later, when I went to the city again, when I met the extra money on duty, I never charged them.Duane still accepted his kindness.

Fang Sheng also followed to help, after all, he was here for Zhao Ba, and it was inappropriate for Du An to be busy alone.

The rest of the money was originally with Zhao Ba, and after knowing that Zhao Bafang won the two, it is still the same, and Zhao Ba is very good.Because he has received other errands recently, unlike before, Zhao Ba can meet him as soon as he enters the city, and just in time for the holidays, he came to talk to Zhao Ba.In fact, it’s also a bit like returning home. It’s like going out at night when you get a good job and don’t talk to your acquaintances.Therefore, I rushed to Zhao Ba's house early this morning.Originally, he planned to talk to Zhao Ba, but he was attracted by the sound of reading in the yard.Zhao Ba brought him over and sat down.

Yu Qian was quite in awe of reading and so on, and was startled at Zhao Ba: "I'm afraid that there won't be a few scholars in your village in the future? This guy, these dolls will be great in the future."

Like the people in the village, Zhao Ba felt very proud of this matter, and said a few words of humility: "Where are you, you don't expect to be a scholar, but you can learn a few characters and calculate a few accounts."

Yu Qian sneered: "You still come with me? Let me tell you, it's different for a guy who has studied, how much more will the first guy in the city who can read and write get paid more than the guy who can't do anything? You I don’t know, how much money did Wang Quan spend on it, and he was even frightened, so he learned a little from an old man. His handwriting is almost as rare as a chicken’s paw. How is he doing now? I got an errand as an official, and I’m waiting for the caravan to come, and I’m going to take it to the other side of Lengshui City. Look, that guy’s hands are black, and he must get his money back, maybe how to make a fortune!”

Zhao Ba just laughed: "Don't talk about others, talk about your own height. Look at you, you walk with the wind, you can't go wrong!"

"That's it," Yu Qian said with a bit of complacency, "We have to have a sip tonight before we can say that. I'm not leaving today, I'll talk to you all night. Take me to see it first." Look at that little scholar, maybe we can get some spiritual energy too!"

Zhao Ba is used to him showing off when he has something to do. At this time, the more you ask him, the more complacent he will be. After drinking a few sips of wine, if you don't ask him, he will talk like a bean, and you can't do it if you don't listen.I stopped asking now, and took him to wait for Du Zhongping to leave school.To be honest, he also wanted to take advantage of this time to let him and the Du family get to know each other well. There were too many people last time, and the other two were just for saving face.
