Little wealth

The fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival.

As far as Josh knew, they also had the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival here, but the Dragon Boat Festival here was not to commemorate the poet who jumped into the river.May is an evil month, and the Dragon Boat Festival is a day to drive away evil and avoid evil, and pray for good weather and a good harvest.

When he got up early in the morning and opened the door of the yard, he inserted the wormwood that he picked yesterday and put it in a wooden barrel into the door.

The man in the family got up in the morning and went out to fetch water. He was responsible for cooking breakfast, feeding the chickens, ducks and rabbits at home, and watering the vegetables in the yard.The vegetables in the vegetable garden are lush and lush, and small cucumbers grow on the vines. The freshly grown cucumbers are tender and delicious. He often can’t help but pick one and eat it. He washes it and bites it directly. Crisp and delicious.

Fist-sized small gourds grow on the cattail vines, and each small gourd is very beautiful.

Josh had only seen dried gourds before, but this was the first time he saw fresh gourds growing on melon vines. Small gourds hung on the vines, looking very cute.Therefore, their son picked several small gourds while he was not paying attention.

In the morning, he was going into the vegetable garden to water the vegetables and melons, and a little follower came into the vegetable garden behind him, and he had to warn: "You are not allowed to pick pumpkins anymore, if you pick anything indiscriminately, you will be beaten." I got it." There was a string of dried gourds hanging in front of their house, all of which were picked by their son.

At this time, the small gourds are not edible at all. Apart from playing with the children, they are dried and hung outside.When these pumpkins grow up, they can be fried and eaten, but now they can’t be eaten after picking them off. Isn’t it a waste!

"Hee hee~" Xiao Wa'er had an innocent look on her face, and hid her two little hands behind her back.

Seeing their son's eyes rolling around like this, Josh guessed that he was trying to do something bad, so he pulled out his little hand hidden behind him, and it was holding a small pumpkin, "..."

"You'd better go out and play outside, don't come in. We haven't even eaten the pugua, you picked it all up." He was so angry that he carried his son out, closed the little gate of the fence, All they had to do was hang a sign at the door, and it said: "Under three years old are not allowed to enter!"

"Em~" The little baby was circling around the fence outside, trying to get in.

"You wait outside, I'll be out soon." Josh took a water spoon to water the vegetables, glanced at his son wandering around outside, and told himself not to be fooled by this son!He was deceived by this innocent and lovely son not once or twice.

The little baby was holding the little gourd outside, trying to return the little gourd so that Eminem would not be angry.

"Knock Knock-"

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of their house.

"Who is it?" Hearing the knock on the door, Josh went out from the vegetable garden, and he didn't forget to close the little gate of the fence when he went out.After walking a few steps outside, he saw Chen Yan standing at the door with half a leaf of pork on his back. He was taken aback and asked, "Chen Yan, why are you carrying pork here?"

"Where?"

Before Josh could call him in, Chen Yan entered the yard with the pork on his back. Seeing a platform in the yard, he threw half of the pork on his back onto the platform.

His clothes were still stained with sewage, which made him feel a little embarrassed. Standing in front of Josh, he felt a little ashamed of himself, and said with his head down: "Today, my family killed a pig, and Dad asked me to send you some pork." Come here." Knowing that they were eating at Josh's side this afternoon, he directly carried the pork here.

In fact, he didn't want Zhao Hu to see him like this, so he didn't go over to Zhao Amu.

"But you don't have to send so much, do you?" Josh planned to go to the entrance of the village to buy vegetables later, but Chen Yan sent him the pork first.But looking at half a piece of pork on the table, he couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "This is too much, you can take it back and sell it, we can't finish eating so much meat you sent us."

"Keep it for you to eat." Brother Chen poked his neck, obviously he didn't want to take it back, and he was ready to leave when the things were delivered, "Daddy is still busy there, I'll go back first."

"Hey...Chen Yan, wait a minute!" Josh wanted to stretch out his hand to grab someone, but he couldn't pull him back. He chased after Chen Yan, stood at the door and looked out, and there was no one outside, "... "

"This man!" But it really is!

It's too much to send three or two catties over here, and half a pig?The father and son are not going to lose money by doing business like this!

When I went back, I saw his son touching the pork with his hands, and smiled at him when he came in.

"..." Josh's heart was so angry that he wanted to grab his son and beat him up!

"Zhao Xiaonian, did you owe me a beating?" He grabbed his son's dirty hands to wash, rinsed the water several times, and finally washed a pair of little paws.

When Zhao He came back with the last load of water, he saw half a fan of pork on the table, took the water into the kitchen, and asked Fu Lang who was cooking, "Where did the pork outside the yard come from?"

"Where did it come from? Brother Chen sent it over just now, saying it was sent by his father." Josh stuffed the two sticks of firewood into the stove, stood up, and clapped his hands. , asked: "Shall we send the meat back? This is too much!"

Fortunately, their mother and brother-in-law also came at this time, so he asked them how to deal with this matter.

Zhao Amu thought about it, and felt that it was inappropriate for them to send back the first time the in-laws delivered something, so she said, "Since they sent it, let's keep it. I'll talk to them later. , don’t send so much meat in the future. Let’s make more zongzi later and let them take some back.”

"Well, well, I want to tell them that if you are in business, if you keep giving them this way, the business will not lose money."

"That's it, it belongs to the father and son."

Since his mother said to keep the meat, Josh asked the child's father to deal with the outer half of the meat, "You save the pig's trotters for me, and cut out the pork belly, which will be used for making zongzi later." , and make another braised pork tonight."

"The rest of the meat should be cut into strips, rubbed with salt, marinated, and hung outside to dry."

The weather is hot at this time, and they don't have anything like a refrigerator here, so the meat is not easy to store, and the only way is to make bacon.Fortunately, he bought two catties of salt from the town last time, and most of it was there, which should be enough.

"Yeah." Zhao He was cutting the meat with a knife, separating the bones one by one.

Seeing this, Zhao He and Zhao Amu also went to help.

"Breakfast is already prepared on the stove. I'll go to the entrance of the village to see what's on sale, and I'll buy something when I come back." There is only pork and vegetables at home, which is too monotonous, so Josh wants to go to the entrance of the village to see if there is any fish. Everyone likes the pickled fish and braised tofu that he made last time. He wants to go to the village entrance to see if there is any fish for sale and buy a fish back.

"Well, you can go. Brother Chen and his father should be selling pork at the entrance of the village. You can tell them to come over for dinner early in the afternoon, and we will prepare earlier then." Zhao Amu I was rubbing salt on the meat, and I didn't have time to go out at the moment.

Seeing that her grandson was about to go out with her, Zhao Amu said, "Why don't my grandsons stay at home? Go early and return early."

"Do you want to stay home?" Josh asked, looking at the little follower who was following him.

Seeing his son looking up at him, with one hand still grabbing his clothes, without the child answering, he knew that the child was going out with him.

"Let me take him with me, so that you won't be able to see him if he stays at home." This brat has been making troubles several times since he got up in the morning. He was afraid that he would not be able to watch the child at home, so Josh took the child with him when he went out. out.

Coming out of the house, the child ran outside with two short legs, as if flying a kite.

They walked the road to the entrance of the village several times, and the children knew where they were going without him leading the way, let alone their family Ah Huang following them.

The morning market at the entrance of the village today is more crowded than when they came back a few days ago, especially there is a stall selling pork in front of it. Many people in the village are gathered around to buy meat, and the business seems to be good.

Josh was not in a hurry to go over there, it was probably the holiday today, the old man who sold the tofu didn't come, and their son was a bit reluctant to leave at the place where the old man who sold the tofu usually set up a stall, so he knew that the boy insisted on following him When I came out, I must be thinking about eating tofu!

This is also his fault, every time he takes his son out to buy vegetables, and when the old man who sells tofu is there, he will bring his son to eat a bowl of tofu flower.

But the old man who sold tofu didn't come today, and they couldn't buy tofu flowers.

"Uncle didn't come today, let's go buy fish." Seeing someone selling fish not far away, there were several fish buyers standing there, fearing that all the fish would be sold out, Josh hurriedly coaxed The son who refused to leave directly picked up the little guy.

Seeing the little guy's aggrieved face, ready to cry, he felt a little distressed and couldn't laugh or cry.

"Uncle will come to sell tofu when he is free some other day. Let's eat tofu flower at that time. Let's make zongzi today, and we will eat zongzi later. Today's Dragon Boat Festival, we don't eat tofu flower, but zongzi. May I?"

After he kissed the little guy's face twice, the little guy finally nodded and hummed lightly.

Fortunately, there were still fish for sale when they arrived, and the big ones were picked away, and there were still a few that were not too big.

There was already meat at home today, but there were two more people eating, so Josh asked the fish seller to pick out two big ones and three or four small ones for him. All the fish were skewered and handed to him.

After paying the money, he carried the fish he bought, and when he went back, he didn't forget the pork stall in the past, approached Chen Yan and told him to let them come over for dinner early in the afternoon.

"Okay, I will go there with my father later." Chen Yan replied.

"Okay, remember to come, I won't hinder you from being busy." Seeing that they were busy here, Josh didn't disturb others, and took the child back first.
