farming in ancient times

Xiao Er solved the important matter on his mind, and the county magistrate told Xiao Er to wait for Xiao Er to finish the new plow and show his colleagues, and then he asked Bai Fu to send the calf over.

Thinking that in a few days, the family will have a new import, Xiaoer walked all the way laughing, when he was stopped by the village chief when he arrived at the entrance of the village, Xiaoer smiled and said, "Uncle village chief, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." The village head didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiao Er didn't care much, "I'll go home if it's okay." Said, bypassing the village chief.

Now that the village chief knew that the county magistrate was very kind to Xiao Er, he didn't dare to act like a village chief, so he grabbed Xiao Er's arm, "Xiao Er, don't worry, what are you doing in such a hurry."

"Uncle, it's time for my family to eat." Xiaoer saw that the neighbors who passed by them from time to time looked at him and the village chief, "Is there something wrong with Uncle? If you have something, just tell me."

"Then can I tell you?" The village chief looked at Xiaoer and saw him nodding, "Why did the county magistrate come to our Wangjia Village all of a sudden, why didn't anyone come to tell us in advance?"

Just because of this. "Uncle, I can't tell you now, but you'll know in four or five days." Seeing that the village chief still didn't let go, "It's a good thing, my lord doesn't allow me to say it."

"Then how do you know the adults?"

As soon as Xiaoer heard this, he looked at the village head carefully, and saw curiosity, anxiety, and expectations in his eyes that he couldn't understand.Xiao Er didn't even think about it, and said, "I don't know you, I know your servant, the one who came with you today."

Telling too many lies, Xiaoer fooled the village chief into his hand, and let the village chief know without any effort. He was just lucky enough to meet Bai Fu, and then helped the county magistrate with some errands.

The village head tried his best, but he couldn't figure out what the county magistrate could find a cheapskate to do, but the county magistrate ordered that Xiao Er was not allowed to speak out. In addition to asking the family to pay more attention to the three brothers of the Wang family, they were doing it every day. What, I can only wait slowly.

And this episode of the encounter at the entrance of the village, when Xiao Er returned home, Xiao Er was forgotten by Xiao Er in the corner.

Looking at the man sitting opposite to the elder brother, Xiaoer rubbed his eyes vigorously, and shouted in disbelief, "Butcher Gao?"

"Huh? Xiao Er is back?" Butcher Gao turned his head and saw Xiao Er standing behind him with wide-eyed eyes. As soon as his eyes lit up, he stood up, "I just told Da Lang that if you don't come back, I will go out. Looking for you."

Xiaoer was startled when he heard this. Why is this person in his house? This person seems to be very familiar with elder brother. This person must not tell elder brother everything that should be said and should not be said.

"When did you come? It's getting dark, why don't you go back?" Xiaoer said and dragged him out of the kitchen.

"Xiao Er, Brother Gao will live in our house from now on." Da Lang said happily.

Xiao Er staggered and almost fell on Butcher Gao.The butcher noticed Xiao Er's abnormal height immediately, "Xiao Er, what's wrong with you?"

"It's all right. Are you staying at my house?" Xiao Er asked with difficulty swallowing her saliva.

"Yes." It was dark in the yard, and Xiao Er's face turned blacker than the ashes of the bottom of the pot. Butcher Gao didn't see Xiao Er's expression clearly, and said with a smile to himself, "Xiao Er, Da Lang He is so polite, and let me sleep in your bed..."

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Er interrupted him and asked, "What are you talking about? Are you sleeping in my bed?"

"Yes." Butcher Gao laughed a few times in embarrassment.Xiao Er jumped up all of a sudden, grabbed his skirt and asked angrily, "You sleep in mine, where should I sleep?"

"Xiaoer, you, you let go first." Gao Butcher was strangled by Xiaoer, almost out of breath, and hurriedly broke his hand, "Da Lang said you slept with Xiaoshan, if you don't want to, I will sleep with Xiaoshan." sleep!"

"Xiao Er, let go!" Da Lang ran out in a hurry when he heard Xiao Er's words, and saw that he was still grabbing Butcher Gao's clothes, "I can't speak well if I have something to say!"

"What are you talking about, you just give up my bed when I'm not at home for a while, and I won't go home for three days, you still remember me?" No matter what you say, you can't let Butcher Gao stay in his house ,Too dangerous.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Da Lang pulled his skinny younger brother aside with all his strength, "Dad and mother taught you when they were alive, why are you acting like a white-eyed wolf!"

"I, I'm a white-eyed wolf?" Xiao Er blinked hard, pointing at himself in disbelief.

"It's not who you are! How much brother Gao has helped our family, why can't I sleep in your bed, that plow..."

"Stop! Brother, don't talk about it! Go to bed and sleep, I don't want to talk about it!" As soon as the younger brother heard the elder brother mentioning the plow, he hurriedly cut off the conversation, and then looked at Butcher Gao, "It's fine to sleep at my house. My food is not enough. Duo, you can't leave my house for dinner!"

"I'll beat you to death, bastard!" Before Butcher Gao could speak, Da Lang raised his leg and gave Xiao Er a kick, kicking Xiao Er to his knees.

Butcher Gao's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly picked Xiao Er up from the ground, "What's the matter, Xiao Er, does it hurt? Da Lang, why are you beating me!" Butcher Gao's face changed, and his momentum suddenly changed. The evil spirit leaked out, and Da Lang took a step back unconsciously.

Now Xiaoer's knees hurt, his butt hurts, and his heart hurts even more. He didn't notice the abnormality of his elder brother. When he stood firm with the strength of Gao Butcher's hand, he pushed Gao Butcher away, "You don't need to be stupid!"

Unsuspecting Butcher Gao staggered when Xiao Er pushed him, and Da Lang didn't care about how scary Butcher Gao was just now, he reached out and grabbed Xiao Er by the ears, and dragged him into the kitchen.

"Open your eyes and see, Brother Gao just left us to stay at home for a few days, he used meat and rice, and this noodle, if you can see it clearly, it's all white flour, there's no wheat bran at all... ..”

"Da Lang, don't talk about it." Butcher Gao came in afterward, leaning against the fire to see Xiao Er grinning in pain and gasping for breath, he hurriedly rescued him from Da Lang's grasp, "Xiao Er just came home and didn't know I'm bringing so many things."

"There are more of these?" Xiaoer stared, "Is this bag of noodles enough for you to eat for three days?"

"Well, if it's not enough, I'll ask Fangzheng to send it." Anyway, the gold given to him by the emperor is enough for him to last for three lifetimes, so he's not afraid.

"That's what you said." Seeing the elder brother's stare, Xiaoer pouted and said, "I didn't let him ask for it, but Butcher Gao himself wanted to give it."

"Yes, yes, Da Lang, it's me." Butcher Gao nodded hurriedly.

Da Lang said, "Don't listen to Xiao Erhun, it's just a few meals."

"What do you mean a few meals?" Xiaoer opened his eyes, "Brother, you are so light-hearted. A half-sized man eats a poor old man, but the butcher is tall and strong, and two half-sized men can't eat him alone. I How much food is there for him to eat."

"I don't care about it, I'll just ask who are you?" Da Lang raised his arm as he spoke.

Butcher Gao hurriedly pulled Xiao Er behind him, "Da Lang, didn't you just say that you are waiting for Xiao Er to come back to cook, let him cook quickly."

"I want you to tell me." Xiao Er shook off Butcher Gao's arm and went to fetch water to wash his hands.

Seeing that Xiao Er turned around and went out, Da Lang asked feebly, "Brother Gao, why are you stopping me?" Who was he beating his own brother for? Look at this, people who don't know think he is an outsider.

"Da Lang, well, we should tell Xiao Er first before I can sleep in his bed." Butcher Gao whispered.

"What are you talking about? I'm his elder brother, so I can't be the master of this!" The farmer didn't pay much attention to it. Butcher Gao could think of informing Xiao Er in advance because he had been with the Marshal of the Army and Horse for six years. Well, when the marshal taught him the art of war and martial arts, he would also teach him various etiquette rules, mainly because he was afraid that he would see the emperor prostrate on the ground directly at the Golden Luan Hall.

Although the voices of the two were low, Xiao Er heard everything he should have heard and what he shouldn't have heard.Hearing Butcher Gao's words, Xiao Er curled her lips, thinking what to do, now I know I should tell him first.

Walking into the kitchen and seeing the flour brought by Butcher Gao, I still couldn't help blinking. This butcher is not simple, but he can get such pure flour.

Xiao Er's eyes rolled, didn't the elder brother want to know how much Butcher Gao eats in one meal, let the elder brother take a good look at how much Butcher Gao can eat in one meal today.

Wang's washbasin is a big wooden basin, and Xiao Er directly poured a quarter of the noodles that Butcher Gao got into it. Xiao Er roughly estimated that it should weigh six to seven catties.

As soon as Wang Hanshi met him, he was a little less familiar, and exclaimed, "Little Er, why are you meeting so much?"

"I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat." Xiao Er said pointedly.

"Hey, Xiaoer, you." Wang Hanshi poured water into the basin when he saw him carrying water, "Should I cook first or make pancakes first."

"Sister-in-law, try to see if you can cut the bamboo shoots into thin strips, and then cut the lean meat brought by the butcher into thin strips."

"Don't call me a butcher, Brother Gao is older than us." While talking, Wang Hanshi heard Xiao Er's "hum", shook his head helplessly, and asked, "Why do you eat this?"

"Cut it into thin strips and it will cook quickly." Xiao Er kneaded the dough after finishing speaking.Seeing the elder brother and Butcher Gao chatting outside, the younger brother was afraid that they would get involved in the plow, "Butcher Gao, come in!"

"What's the matter?" As soon as Xiao Er finished speaking, Butcher Gao ran up to Xiao Er.

Xiao Er's eyes dimmed, and he waved his hands, "Don't leave it here, let's start the fire."

"Brother, I'll just burn it." Xiao Shan said hurriedly.

"You take Niu Niu to play." Xiao Er said, standing up straight, "I'll call you when I turn around for dinner." Xiao Shan, 15 years old, is just a middle school student in Xiao Er's eyes, and he should be a playful and mischievous boy.

Probably because of the early death of his parents, the 15-year-old boy is very sensible and well-behaved.Thinking of the little boy secretly following his eldest brother to work in other places, Xiaoer felt aggrieved.Seeing Butcher Gao still standing in front of him, "What's wrong? Can't make a fire?"

"Yes, yes!" Butcher Gao grinned, turned around and lifted Xiao Shan up, then patted him on the head, "Go out and play, I'll burn it."

"Brother Gao, you are amazing!" Xiao Shan's eyes were as big as bull's eyes as soon as his feet touched the ground, and he touched his arm tentatively, "Wow! Brother Gao, your arm is harder than a rock!"

"Of course it's hard to eat too much." Xiaoer glanced at the two of them lightly.

When Xiao Shan heard this, he secretly made a face at Butcher Gao, with the meaning of "take care of yourself", and ran out.At this time, Wang Hanshi, who had cut the vegetables, also went out with an excuse, and she didn't want to hear Xiaoer's words that running on a dead man would not pay for her life.

As soon as she left, only Butcher Gao and Xiaoer were left in the kitchen.

Xiaoer didn't even look at Butcher Gao. He poured two scoops of water into the pot, put the grate in the pot, and said, "Bring the water to a boil!"

"Alright!" Butcher Gao replied loudly.Xiao Er moved her lips up and down, and said silently, "My brain is not normal."

"What do you say?"

"Tell me to eat more later." Xiaoer gave him a blank look, then looked outside, seeing that her elder brother and sister-in-law were not there, she presumably went out with Xiao Shan.

People who eat early at night, if they can't sleep, the whole family will go to the open space in the village to play and chat.Knowing where to call for someone later, Xiao Er didn't care, then bent down and started rolling the dough.

When Butcher Gao saw that Xiao Er rolled out the noodles so thinly that one piece of dough was almost as big as the grate in the pot, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Xiao Er, what are you cooking today?"

"Water baked bun!"

"What?" It was another one who hadn't heard of it, butcher Gao poked his ears and eyes, "Is it delicious? How do you make it?"

"Nonsense, can I make it delicious?" Xiao Er turned to stare at him, "I'll tell you how to make it, so you can learn it?"

"Well, I should be able to do it." Butcher Gao wanted to say that his hands were not as dexterous as Xiao Er's, but then he felt that he was too incompetent compared to Xiao Er, so he simply closed his mouth.

He doesn't speak, and Xiao Er, who is very focused when doing things, doesn't talk too much.

I saw him pulling the noodles for a while, rolling the noodles for a while, and when Butcher Gao boiled the water in the pot, Xiao Er had already rolled out a thick layer of dough.To prevent them from sticking together, Xiao Er sprinkled a little flour between the dough and the dough.

Seeing Butcher Gao lifted the lid of the pot, Xiao Er put the freshly rolled dough on the grate.Waiting for the dough on the grate to change color, Xiaoer puts the second dough on it.

Butcher Gao saw that Xiao Er put all the dough he rolled out on the grate and folded it into a thick pile, so he finally couldn't help asking, "How do you eat this?"

"Hungry?" Xiao Er looked up at him.

Butcher Gao shook his head repeatedly, "Not hungry!"

As soon as his words fell, Xiaoer heard a "grunt" and curled his lips, "True or false!"

"Hey..." Butcher Gao smiled foolishly, his eyes staring at Xiao Er were full of deep scrutiny.A young farmer can make a curved plow, pot cakes, steamed buns, and stir-fry vegetables. I really want to know what else he can do.

There are many little sophomores.

Seeing that Butcher Gao brought a lot of meat, the sister-in-law only cut a little bit, and she didn't feel bad if it wasn't her own, so the little girl simply cut all the lean meat into shreds.

Put the steamed steamed buns in the pot into the steamed bun basket, cover with a clean sackcloth, and Xiao Er starts to cook.

The shredded pork and bamboo shoots are rolled in a hot oil pan, and they are almost ready to come out of the pan.Afraid that the meat would not be cooked, Xiao Er added a little water, "Hey, butcher, don't boil the pot when the water is dry."

"What are you doing?" Butcher Gao asked quickly when he saw that he was going out.

"Call Big Brother to eat!" After leaving this sentence, Xiao Er ran outside.

"We're back." Da Lang blocked Xiao Er's way, smelling the aroma of vegetables in the kitchen, "Xiao Er, your cooking skills are getting better and better, and you're almost catching up with our mother."

"My cooking is so delicious and you will beat me up every now and then. If you dare to kick me again next time, I will never cook again." Xiao Er said, turning around and turning over the pot, frying it a few more times before saying ,"alright."

Butcher Gao ran out in a hurry, startling Da Lang with his quick movements, "Brother Gao, what are you doing?"

"Wash your hands." Xiao Er said and nodded, "This butcher Gao doesn't look good, but he likes to be clean."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Hanshi hugged Niuniu and went to wash his hands, Xiao Shan followed closely behind, Wang Dalang saw Xiao Er staring at him, turned around and left.

Xiaoer is satisfied with this.It seems that there are some benefits to butcher Gao living in his house. At least, the elder brother and Xiao Shan who brought him are also hygienic.

When everyone entered the kitchen room and leaned against the fire to see the contents of the steamed bun basket, everyone except Butcher Gao was dumbfounded, "Hey, why do you eat this?"

"Look at me." As he said, Xiao Er picked up a piece of steamed bun, spread some shredded meat and bamboo shoots on top of the steamed bun, rolled it up and took a bite, "It's delicious, just as I thought. "The key is that the high butcher's flour is good.

If it's the noodles with wheat bran sandwiched in his home, no matter how good his craftsmanship is, the cakes he makes won't taste right.

Butcher Gao misses Xiao Er's cooking and almost becomes lovesick. Hearing Xiao Er's words, he picks up a steamed bun and imitates what Xiao Er did just now. As soon as he takes a bite, the chewiness of the dough wraps the freshness of the bamboo shoots and the aroma of the meat. Before Dalang finished rolling one cake, Butcher Gao started to eat the second one.

Xiaoer helped his forehead, "Can't you eat more slowly?"

"I don't eat fast!" Butcher Gao puffed his mouth and said, "Didn't you see me when I was fighting at the border, soldiers and young generals never chewed their meals, they just swallowed them!"

"Pretend I didn't say it." Xiao Er drooped his head, taking a bite of the taste of his previous life.

Xiao Shan raised his neck and asked, "Brother Gao, have you ever killed an enemy?"

"Eh?" Butcher Gao stifled, seeing that Xiao Er was still bowing his head and Da Lang was feeding Niuniu buns, he said with confidence, "Of course I did. If I hadn't killed him, he would have killed me."

"Then are you afraid?" Xiao Shan asked curiously.

"Scared! The first time I went to battle to kill the enemy, I was so scared that I didn't dare to sleep for several days." Gao Butcher ate while talking. He didn't know how many pieces he ate for a while. Steamed bun basket.

"Hmph!" Seeing him being silly with the steamed bun basket, Xiaoer turned his face away and asked with a half-smile, "Brother, have you counted how many Butcher Gao ate?"

"Didn't you just keep it for us to eat!" Da Lang glanced at the clean steamed bun basket, then at Butcher Gao's belly, "Brother Gao, I didn't see how fat you are?" Eat, I have four adults and one child together in my family, so the butcher eats a lot. What kind of stomach is this.

Once again, he ate up the other people's steamed bun baskets, butcher Gao was so ashamed that he didn't want to find a crack in the ground, "Well, I kill pigs every day, and with great strength, I eat a little too much."

"You don't kill pigs now, you should turn them into pigs later!" Xiao Er glanced at Butcher Gao's thin waist, and absolutely refused to admit that he was envious of his good figure.

"No, I won't get fat from eating." Butcher Gao said affirmatively.

Hearing these words in the ears of Da Lang and Wang Hanshi, the couple thought of Butcher Gao's past, remembered his aunt, and immediately let go of the fact that Butcher Gao could eat, because they were hungry when they were young.Otherwise, there is no one who can't eat fat.

"Okay, it's getting late, go to sleep." Da Lang said and stood up.

Xiao Shan hurriedly went to help Xiao Er clean up the bowls, but Butcher Gao went to get the water basin with a wink, and poured the hot water from the clay pot into the water basin, "Xiao Er, you go and wash, and I will clean the pot."

"Go, get out, there's no use for you here." Wang Hanshi stuffed Niu Niu into Da Lang's arms, "I'll do it."

Xiaoer likes to cook, but hates washing the pots the most. She always feels that men are not doing the work of cleaning the pots and tables, and as soon as she hears what her sister-in-law says, she goes out in a hurry.

As soon as he walked high, Butcher and Xiaoshan followed.

Xiao Er was tired all day, and fell asleep when he climbed onto Xiaoshan's bed. Butcher Gao wanted to tell Xiao Er that we should change, but before he could speak, he heard Xiao Er's snoring.

Lying on Xiao Er's bed, covered with a coarse linen quilt, and the underclothes are all silky high butchers don't think the linen quilt hurts.Hearing Xiao Shan's snoring, Butcher Gao felt unexpectedly relieved, he was finally not alone.

Although Ren Yuan and Fang Zheng are usually the same as Butcher Gao, Fangzheng said that he bought the pork shop, but he still reserved the best room for Butcher Gao, and he never entered without Butcher Gao’s permission. High butcher's room.Ren Yuan called Brother Gao, but in fact he always regarded Butcher Gao as his master and general in his heart.

It is also because of this that Butcher Gao is extremely tolerant of Xiao Er's mouth and temper.Because, he felt that Xiao Er didn't save face for him when talking to him, because he didn't treat him as an outsider.

Butcher Gao was thinking about all kinds of good things about Xiao Er, when he heard a "plop", the alert general sat up all of a sudden, and saw a person standing up from the ground.
