butcher's cook

??Bai Ning himself is a person who can do whatever he wants. He wants to keep bees on his front foot, and then he starts to ask which houses have bees to feed them.

?? Not to mention, I really asked him about a family that feeds bees.

??Bai Ning very unconscionably threw Xiao Tuantuan home and went to buy bees.

??The beekeepers are not far from their place, but the address is two villages behind, deep in the mountains.

?? Shopkeeper Li was worried that his young brother would go to the mountains, so he asked his second cousin Xu to go with him.

?? Cousin Xu has learned a lot from shopkeeper Li, and he has grown stronger, not quite the same as he looked at first.The Xu family is generally not tall. The second cousin Xu is only fifteen this year, and he is only about 1.5 meters tall. He looks like a simple and honest guy.

?? "Hey, Xuewen, did your aunt say goodbye to you?"

??The young man's face turned red immediately, "Cousin, stop laughing at me."

"What's there to be shy about? Didn't everyone start talking about kissing at fifteen?" If he remembered correctly, sister-in-law Yu said a while ago that someone had already talked about kissing her.He also asked obliquely about learning literature, how old is Da Ya?Fourteen or Thirteen?

?? Speaking of this age, alas, let alone the two are quite suitable.

?? If you want to find a job, Bai Ning thinks it is not difficult, but asking him to talk about kissing, Bai Ning thinks it is too difficult.

?? If he goes to talk to people about his marriage, if he wants to have a better life for the two of them, he will be able to give his head a big headache when he hears people talking about it in the future.

?? What's more, the former family and the latter family are all relatives. Isn't this an embarrassing situation?

??He didn't want to wade in this muddy water anymore.

"Cousin, I'm only a little older, so don't be in a hurry." Xu Xuewen shook his head, "Cousin, why are you so good-looking, why do you want to raise bees?"

?? "My family grows fruit trees. Is it normal to keep bees? When the bees gather honey, the fruit can turn into climate. How wonderful is that?"

"Cousin, do you think my family can also grow fruit trees?"

"Why do you ask that? Fruit trees are good, but it's not as practical as growing food. No matter how you grow food, you can't starve to death. Fruit trees are considered cash crops. If they can't be sold, or it rains when they bloom, Then there is not much harvest. If you want more income, you can plant some goji berries or honeysuckle in unimportant fields or on the side of the mountain. This is not very demanding on the weather, and at most it will cost some labor, which is a loss. It’s a loss of money.”

?? "Cousin, you and grandpa think of a place to go. Grandpa lived in your house for a month and started planting honeysuckle and goji berries. Didn't I go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival? Those honeysuckle and goji berries are all alive."

??Bai Ning was taken aback. Is Grandpa Xu so economical?Still so strong.

"Then how much did he plant? Where did he find the seeds?"

?? "I don't know, and I didn't ask. He said he found it in the mountains."

?? "He didn't say he wanted to grow it. If he knew it, he would cut the seed strips from me and go back. The seed strips I planted are very good, with more knots and good taste."

??Seeing that Bai Ning's mind was on the fruit tree, Xu Xuewen breathed a sigh of relief. What is the matter of getting married?It's true that my grandma told my father that when I came here, there was my second aunt and cousin, it was scary!

??It was a coincidence that they came to the hive, and the beekeeper had fed three hives.One litter is divided into four litters.

??Bai Ning said he wanted to buy two nests, but the beekeeper hesitated and sold them anyway.He still has a nest of bees, and it looks like he will divide the bees next year. In this way, he still has three nests.

?? Bought two nests of bees and went back. One nest of bees is not expensive, and two nests are only three taels of silver.But the beekeeper's service is so thoughtful, and it can be seen that he likes bees very much. He used him to help Bai Ning and the others put the bees back, and taught them how to raise them. They should keep warm and sometimes use honey water Hey, lest the bees starve to death or freeze to death when there is no honey to gather.

??Bai Ning specially built a shed for the bees, and went to Uncle Tan to make two new hives for them, so that the little bees could also live in the new house.

?? There is nothing exciting to watch at this time.

??Especially after the autumn harvest, there is no busy work in the field, and wherever there is a little lively thing, they all run away in a swarm.The villagers heard that Bai Ning had raised bees again, so a swarm of bees came over to watch the excitement.

??Only two empty boxes, a bunch of people read it carefully and interestingly, and commented from time to time.

?? After seeing the bees, I always go to see the pigs in the pigsty.

??Anyway, Bai Ning's pigs are raised well. Everyone in the village knows that the land in the pigsty is almost stronger than that on the main road after a long time.

??Bai Ning was not stingy. When people asked him why he raised the pigs so well, Bai Ning said they were castrated, and he even said how to castrate them.

?? Even Zhang Xiucai was amazed. I feel that the head husband of this family is a bit more talented, and he doesn't hide his secrets at all. He is really a person of high moral character.

??What should Bai Ning say? Apart from his own abilities, all these things were taught to him by others.For example, the issue of castrated pigs existed in the ancient times of their world. I heard that it existed in the Shang Dynasty, and there are still written records. Bai Ning does not know why it has not been handed down on a large scale.

?? There are also those seeds, the problems of those seeds, it is better to explain, just to make it easier to see.

?? Therefore, it has nothing to do with being virtuous.

??After a few days, Bai Ning started harvesting watermelons. Eating watermelons at this time is a bit cool.It is still a watermelon with more than three acres of land. This time, it has enough abilities, raised pigs, and enough fertilizer, so the watermelon grows better and tastes better.

??A total of more than 6000 catties were collected, and in terms of the number, it was more than 500.

?? This time Bai Ning was stingy, and no one gave it to anyone except his relatives, so they repeatedly packed up a room and put it away.

?? Bai Ning was waiting for the porcelain pots from the porcelain kiln to arrive.

?? But in October, seeing that the cabbage had been turned into sauerkraut, there was still no news from the porcelain kiln, so Bai Ning couldn't sit still.

??The owner of the porcelain kiln is also in a dilemma. Standing in the kiln is full of firewood, but this year is cold and needs to burn charcoal to keep warm. Not to mention the high price of firewood, the rate of porcelain production is also low up.

?? In half a month, he made more than 600 porcelain pots and fired the kiln four times, but less than [-]% of them were successful.

??Seeing that the porcelain clay was used up and the next batch hadn't been delivered yet, he was about to go to Bai Ning to explain the situation.

??The temperature is not enough, Bai Ning knows it.

?? "Have you ever tried to use black charcoal to fire a kiln? I heard that the temperature of the black charcoal fired kiln is extremely high, and the price is cheaper than firewood charcoal."

?? "Black charcoal?" The kiln owner remembered that he seemed to have heard of this thing, but after a long time, he forgot it.

?? "Black charcoal is a kind of black carbon, harder than charcoal, somewhat like a stone, can burn, and is not easy to ignite, but it is more durable than charcoal, but it has a smell of not too high temperature when burned. If it is burned in a confined space Black charcoal, people may suffocate to death."

?? Hearing Bai Ning's explanation, the owner of the porcelain kiln understood. He once heard that someone used black charcoal for heating in winter and died as a result.

?? "But if it's used to fire a kiln, then it doesn't matter."

??The owner of the porcelain kiln doesn't really believe it, but the failure rate this year is too high, and he has no other choice. "Then I'll try."

?? Then the owner of the porcelain kiln told Bai Ning that there was no porcelain clay. His porcelain clay was excavated in a fixed place. It was going to snow, and the kiln could not be opened this year.

?? Although Bai Ning was a little disappointed, he brought back all the remaining porcelain pots, more than 300, which is fine.

??Bai Ning started making canned food when he returned home, and made more than 300 canned watermelons.

??The canned food this time is used to test the water, in preparation for the future canned food, all of which are sterilized at high temperature, and then sealed with beeswax, trying to be the best.

??The canned food was made for three days. After it was ready, Bai Ning put it in the cellar.

??Tan Ming started to store charcoal fires at home, and also started to keep the seedlings in the field warm. Anyway, the seedlings were covered with straw curtains, and the larger fruit trees were tied with hay.

??Just a few days after the canned food was ready, the first snow of the year fell.

?? Snowflakes as big as goose feathers are falling down one after another. In less than a day, when you look up, you will see a vast expanse of whiteness.

?? Mrs. Li lit a charcoal fire in Zhang Xiucai's room, and burned two more in the hall, and then the whole room sat in the hall to enjoy the fire.

?? Not to mention, after setting up two stoves, the temperature rises immediately. The outside is a few degrees below zero, and the house is seven or eight degrees. It is not too cold if you wear thicker clothes.

?? "Boss, with such heavy snow, will the business of the restaurant be affected?"

?? "There must be some influence. I will go to the street to see in a few days. If the business is not good and there are no people, I will close the restaurant and wait until tomorrow."

??Tan Ming said, "No, the snow won't last long, and the temperature will drop in the future, but the snow won't fall much."

?? "So, after the snow is over, let's kill pigs!"

??It’s cold, stew the big bones, then throw away the sauerkraut and order vermicelli. It tastes absolutely delicious.

??It's a pity that there is no sweet potato now. If there is sweet potato, you can make starch, and then you can make vermicelli.

??Wait, there are no sweet potatoes, potatoes are fine, thinking that they will be next year's seeds, Bai Ning doesn't plan to eat them anymore.

??Thinking of the end, Bai Ning finally thought of a solution.

?? There is cassava!He remembered that he had made tapioca starch, which is still used in the restaurant. Why did he forget that tapioca starch can also be used to make tapioca vermicelli.

??I do it when I think of it. The cassava at the restaurant is bought from the villagers.Cassava is poisonous and unpalatable, and it is sold cheaply, at a price of one copper plate per catty.

?? Bai Ning didn't care about the heavy snow, so he went out with a copper plate and a bamboo hat.

??Seeing Bai Ning who ran out in a hurry, the others yelled, "Mr. Tan, why didn't you call my boss? It's such a cold day, how can this little guy like my boss stand it! If I catch a cold later It's not that you feel bad."

??Tan Ming opened his mouth, he said that he was wronged, Bai Ning put the child in his arms directly, he actually just wanted to ask, but the little brother disappeared.

??Little Si clicked twice, "Li Po, don't you think the boss is the healthiest in our family? It's been more than a year, and I haven't even heard him cough."

??The others nodded, yes, it seems to be the case. Even Tan Ming, who looks the strongest in the whole family, has also taken two doses of medicine for catching a cold.

?? Xiao Si didn’t say it, no one felt it, but Xiao Si said it, it felt really bad. Not only did Bai Ning never take medicine for illness, but the only time he took medicine was the last time the couple quarreled and almost hurt the child that time.

"There are also Master Xiaobao and Young Master, these two are also strong." Granny Li looked at Xiao Tuantuan in Tan Ming's arms. Logically speaking, children before one year old are always careful in serving them, and they don't pay attention. If you have a fever and a cold, you will easily die. As a result, the young master didn't respond to anything except eating and drinking.

??I didn't respond well, I still didn't respond well, Granny Li thought to herself.

?? When Xiao Tuantuan found out that Li Po was looking at him, he immediately became excited. Li Po nursed him every day, so Xiao Tuantuan habitually opened his mouth to smile when he saw her.

?? "Hey, you know how to recognize people. You know that you will have milk when Mrs. Li comes." Tan Ming teased him, and at the same time felt a little sad. This little thing didn't see Li when he saw him. The mother-in-law reacted greatly!

?? Xiao Tuantuan seemed to understand, and danced more happily.

?? "Hey, I'm going to boil milk for him, and it's almost time for him to eat milk now."

?? "Grandma Li, I'll light a fire for you." Little Treasure didn't practice martial arts and went to study, so Little Four was free.

?? Now Xiaosi's face is basically healed, the ugly scars are gone, and now there are only thin red incisions, which can still be seen from a close distance, and she is still a bright and beautiful girl from a distance.

??Not long after, Bai Ning came back with a basket of cassava on his back.

??Tan Ming heard the movement, "What are you doing in such a hurry? It's still snowing!"

?? "I went to buy cassava, it's okay, I'm wearing a bamboo hat."

??Bai Ning put the cassava in the kitchen. Po Li and the others were very surprised when they saw the cassava, "Boss, why are you buying cassava, it's not delicious!"

?? "It's not delicious now, but it will be delicious later, Xiaosi, come and help me."

??"coming."

??Wash the cassava and put it aside. The millstone is also under the eaves, and it is directly crushed on the millstone.

??Xiao Sizai cassava's sword skills are good, Bai Ning suspects that she has taught double swords before, and the two swords in one hand make the tiger look like a tiger.

?? "Boss, you are making tapioca flour!"

?? "Yes, let's eat vermicelli today."

?? "Vermicelli?"

?? "Come on, Xiaosi is looking at yours."

"Here we come." Xiaosi slaughtered the cassava and went to push the stone mill.

??The [-] catties of cassava that Bai Ning bought took quite a while to grind. By the time it was ground and washed, it was already afternoon.

?? "Boss, I'm exhausted."

?? It has only been connected to her for a few months, so it is estimated that it is not completely healed yet.

??That night, they ate hot and sour rice noodles, which are sour and appetizing.

??Hot and sour noodles, especially when eaten in cold weather, the more you eat, the better.

"Boss, why are you making such a delicious thing now?"

??Bai Ning took a sip of powder, and sighed in satisfaction, "It's comfortable."

??Everyone is almost in the same movement, and they all take a mouthful of noodles. It is spicy and hot. There is nothing more comfortable than eating this.

??Even Zhang Xiucai did not have the style of a literati in the past, and he ate heartily.

?? "Grandma Li, let's eat this again tomorrow!"

??Li Po is old and dare not eat too spicy food, so she held a bowl and ate a bowl of mildly spicy food. She also broke out in a sweat. She looked at Bai Ning, "Master, do you want to eat this tomorrow?"

?? "I won't eat, I often feel tired of eating, eat something light tomorrow morning, if you still want to eat, eat it at noon or at night."

??I heard that I would not eat it, everyone was a little disappointed, but when Bai Ning said that I would eat it at noon, everyone became excited again.
