Farmhouse Chronicle [Farming]

Chapter 67

Both Yang Tianlin and Mantou are not very good at cooking, while Dr. Xin is not good at cooking. After Yang Tianlin and the others caught the fish and went back, they didn't know what to do.

"Brother Lin, let's grill it too. That chicken is used for grilling, and this fish should be grilled too. Didn't we buy a lot of seasonings? Just put them all on." Mantou and his father also Cooked and ate outside the house, but at that time his father and father basically finished everything, and he was playing with his younger brother. Now let him think about how his father's food is made, he really doesn't know Know.

"Well, listen to you, let's use it for baking."

"Brother Lin, my family used to have a restaurant, and now we still have recipes from the restaurant. I'll go over and get them back tomorrow. I can learn from them when I'm at home. When Brother Lin goes out, I'll cook for Dad." Yang Tianlin likes the layout of Mantou's house, so when building this house, he also referred to the layout of Mantou's house. Except that there is only a big courtyard outside, they live in a small courtyard surrounded by a road outside the small courtyard. A creek running along the wall.The creek is the spring water in the mountains. The spring water is warm in winter and cool in summer. People in the village use this spring water for food and drink.

After the two packed up their things, they hadn't officially started cooking yet, but the steamed buns were a little hungry. Yang Tianlin had to cook some simple meals first, let everyone fill their stomachs, and then prepare to cook after noon.

Maizi also came at noon, and as soon as he arrived, he took over the work in the hand of the steamed bun, and began to set up a fire stake to prepare for the fire.

"Brother An, Brother Lin said that we have to call you like this in the future, don't feel uncomfortable." Mantou squatted next to Maizi, talking to Maizi, and at the same time gave him twigs.He and Maizi are about the same age and are cousins. They grew up together and have a good relationship, so they usually talk and do things very casually, and Maizi likes to play with steamed buns since he was a child. This older brother was even more relaxed, and he didn't even regard Maizi as an older brother, but just as a playmate.Now Mantou has to call Maizi Ange in a serious manner. Mantou is actually a bit awkward, but after thinking about it, they are really not small, and they are just called. They get used to it after calling them a few times, so they called them that way.

When Maizi heard that Mantou called himself Brother An, he still didn't realize it. Mantou called himself Brother Maizi when he was a child, but when he grew up, he removed the older brother and called him Maizi directly.On the day Mantou got married, he still called himself Maizi, and it hasn't been too long now, why did he suddenly call him Brother An?

"Brother An, didn't I tell you? Brother Lin said it, and Brother Lin said it well. Aren't you and your uncle taking care of most things at home now? If you still call you Maizi in the future, let It's not good for others to hear."

"Would that Mantou mind if I call you Mantou?" Maizi's fire had already been lit, and now the firewood that was going to be thicker slowly went in.Seeing that the fire had already started, Maizi signaled for Mantou to sit aside.

"Of course not, don't you always call me that, and you are my brother! But, it's not okay for others to call me that." It's okay for family members to call themselves that.

"You, well, I'll listen to you, you can call it whatever you want."

"Yeah, of course you have to listen to me, what I said makes sense." Mantou saw that the fire had already started, so he ran away and asked Yang Tianlin to bring over the seasoned chicken and fish.

"Brother Lin, hurry up, the fire is ready."

"Steamed buns, this thing can't be baked like this. I think there is a piece of barbed wire at home. You go and take it out and put it on the fire stake." Yang Tianlin specially went to the blacksmith's shop to make the barbed wire. He originally wanted to use it as the base of the yard wall I'm afraid that something will be washed away when it's too late to pick it up, but now it's just used for baking.

"Brother Lin, why do you want to spread that? Just throw it into the fire." It's like roasting sweet potatoes... Ah, that's right! "Brother Lin, it seems that you can't use fire to bake things. You have to use charcoal. When the fire goes out, use the charcoal on your face to grill. The grilled food will be delicious. My father roasts sweet potatoes like that."

"Well, let's bake it like that. You and Brother An bake the steamed buns first. I'll make soup. There are fat beans at home. I use bacon to cook fat bean soup. I'll eat and drink later."

"it is good."

Like Mantou, Maizi grew up spoiled by his family, but since he was always with Mantou’s younger brother, he can do a lot of things. Basically, when he is around, Mantou doesn’t need to do anything. thing.

Mantou watched the firewood sticks in the fire pile grow bigger and bigger, and then a big fire broke out, and his body gradually heated up, and he kept retreating.

"Brother An, it's so hot, I'll go indoors for a while, and I'll come out later." Go in and see what Brother Lin is doing.

"Mantou, move out some more stools and let your father come out to warm up." Maizi squatted by the fire, his head was already sweating, and Dr. Xin was asked to come out to warm up because the old people are generally afraid. It is cold, and I like to stay by the fire in winter, and I don’t want the old man to stay in the room alone.

"it is good."

Dr. Xin was tinkering with a few old books. Even the cover of the book was broken, and he didn't know what it was. After the steamed bun went in, Dr. Xin put down the book in his hand and followed the steamed bun out.

"Father, sit down first, I'll make you some tea."

"Well, I'm done with my work, go in and help Linzi, what is he doing inside?" Dr. Xin has a good impression of Mantou, but he still feels that Mantou, as a little brother, can do a little less housework, and it's okay now There are only three adults in the family. If there are children in the future, how can Mantou behave like a child.

"Father, brother Lin is cooking soup inside, and it will come out in a while. Let me bring some radishes out of my cellar. I will mix a shredded radish cold and eat it with grilled food. It must be very refreshing."

"Go."

After Mantou went into the cellar, Yang Tianlin also came out, knowing that Mantou had gone to the cellar, he went in too.

"Steamed buns, let me get them."

"Okay, take it out and peel the skin for me, and then I will make shredded radish myself. Brother Lin, you don't know, my grandmother's radish sticks are delicious, and I also make shredded radish It’s very good, you haven’t eaten it yet, after you eat it later, you will definitely ask me to make it for you.” I don’t have confidence in making steamed buns, but I am very confident in making shredded radish in cold salad. My father who ate the food made by my father said it was delicious.

"It's okay, everything made by steamed buns is delicious."

"Brother Lin! It's really delicious!" Mantou could hear Yang Tianlin's distrust of him, but he was not angry. Although the tone of his answer was a little serious, it was just to emphasize what he said just now. It's all about authenticity, but actually I still like to hear what brother Lin said haha.

"Okay, okay, it's true. But, Mantou, we have invited Brother An over here, have you thought about how to speak later?" Yang Tianlin and Maizi are not familiar, so this kind of talk about getting married He really didn't know how to speak about his private matters.

"How should I speak? Just ask directly."

"Ask directly?" Wouldn't that be a little bad?

"Of course, Maizi doesn't like other people beating around the bush, and brother Lin, don't worry, Maizi won't get angry with me." Mantou has never met Maizi getting angry with him before, Yang Tianlin looked at Mantou with a confident look on his face, He didn't say anything more, so when the two of them talked about this with Maizi, Mantou was a little dazed by Maizi's reaction.

"Mantou, I don't want to talk about this matter, can we make it if we don't talk about it?" Although it was a negotiable sentence, there was no room for discussion, and Maizi looked like he didn't want to talk about it at all.

"No! Maizi, you don't even know how much Uncle and the others are worried about you. How can you do this? Even if you don't want to get married, you have to give the family a reason. If you keep procrastinating like this and don't tell your family why, who can I understand you!" Mantou was a little angry, not only because of Maizi's resolute refusal to discuss, but also because of the elders in the family, who were really worried about Maizi's marriage.

When Mantou was in a hurry, Yang Tianlin was also in a hurry, he was afraid that Mantou and Maizi would quarrel, then not only could this matter not be discussed today, but also in the future.

Mantou didn't know why Maizi didn't say anything, he deliberately chose Dad to ask when he was out for a walk after eating, why didn't he say anything!

"Maizi, tell me honestly, is it because you don't want to get married, or is it because you still miss that woman? If you still miss that woman, then I will beat that woman up and beat you hard. Stop!" Mantou felt that it was all the fault of that woman, she was already engaged to Maizi, why would she want to marry someone else?Is the wheat bad?Maizi is much better than the man she married!

"Mantou, don't be impulsive, just listen to Brother An speak slowly."

"Brother Lin, I'm not impulsive. If I had been impulsive, I would have beat up that woman as early as when she regretted her marriage!" Mantou really couldn't be more angry!Maizi's marriage was arranged before him, and now he is married, but Maizi doesn't even have a partner.

"Brother An, Mantou said that you still go to your uncle's house all the time. What's going on?" Yang Tianlin himself used to go to Wanjiaba all the time. His purpose of coming here is naturally Mantou, not Uncle Yang Sheng. Yang Tianlin felt that maybe Maizi always went to his uncle's house because of someone.

"Ah, yes, I didn't ask about this. It's very strange. Didn't that girl marry in another village? You're still old!" Yang Tianlin mentioned this, and Mantou remembered to ask, too. When they talked about this, there was a trace of tension on Maizi's face.

Because they were talking about Maizi, Yang Tianlin and Mantou both paid attention to Maizi, and now that Maizi's mood changed, both of them would naturally notice it, and Yang Tianlin felt that Maizi's marriage might not be far away.
