I farmed in ancient times

Uncle Shi and Aunt Shi wentssiped for a while in the room, and went out to prepare for the full moon wine for Xiao Shitou tomorrow.

Uncle Shi went down from the foot of the mountain, went to the butcher's house in the village, and bought a whole pig directly from Hu Tutu. He made an appointment to kill it in the morning, and then went to ask if anyone in the village would sell his chickens. mountain to.

The family who raises chickens is very happy to make this deal with Uncle Shi. Not only can the chickens be sold, but it can also save a few steps. After a while, Uncle Shi took in ten chickens and seven or eight ducks.

There are still live chickens and ducks they sent some time ago at home, which is enough for tomorrow.

Putting the chickens and ducks at home, Uncle Shi went to town and bought some mutton for home.

After returning home, Uncle Shi still had to deal with the chickens and ducks, and Xiaohua was helping to boil water in the East Kitchen, when she suddenly remembered that there was still a basket in the yard, so she raised her head from behind the stove.

Xiaohua: "Father, what happened to the basket in the yard? Did Cen Jueming leave it here?"

It's been a long time, even if it falls, it should be found.

Xiaohua didn't say anything, Uncle Shi really didn't pay attention, put down the knife in his hand, Uncle Shi walked into the yard, and he saw the small bamboo basket of Cassia standing by the wall.

Uncle Shi walked over and lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket, revealing the dark grapes under the cloth.

Uncle Shi: "?!"

"Grapes?!" Uncle Shi raised a bunch of grapes in disbelief. The grapes were covered with a layer of hoarfrost, all round, purple and black.

How could there be grapes in this season?Even if there is, a bunch of grapes is very expensive in Yang County.

Uncle Shi didn't dare to touch the grapes, so he picked up the basket, went to the door of Cen's house, and knocked on the door with his hand.

The gate of the courtyard was quickly opened. Seeing that Uncle Shi brought back the basket and the grapes in his hands, Jueming hurriedly pushed him out of the door, "Hey? Uncle Shi, why did you bring them back?"

"Caiming, you forgot this in my yard." Uncle Shi put the basket at the door, and carefully told Caesar: "Put it away properly, don't take it out randomly, if you forget it on the street and someone takes it away, Where are you looking for it?"

Jueming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Uncle Shi, didn't I just say that? This is for Little Shitou. He will have a full moon tomorrow, so I will eat this after dinner."

Uncle Shi stared at people with big bluffing eyes and said, "No, I can't take it!"

Jueming had no choice but to persuade: "These are new grapes from Shiwen Liangpu, I still have a bunch of them at home!"

"The people from the Shiwen Grain Shop said to let them taste the difference between these grapes and ordinary grapes, and sent several baskets."

As he spoke, Caesar took out two more baskets of grapes for Uncle Shi to see.

"If it's not enough, add another basket. Anyway, there are only two of us at home, and we can't eat a few grapes." As Jueming said, he made a gesture to carry a basket of grapes on his back, but Uncle Shi hurriedly stopped him, "Okay Alright! I see, I, Old Shi, have the audacity to accept the grapes today."

Uneasy, Uncle Shi took the grapes home again, washed a bunch and put them on the plate.

After Shi Xiaohua boiled the water, when she saw the grapes, she thought it was her own illusion, and took a closer look, it was really grapes!

How can there be any grapes in this season! ?I'm afraid it's not a fake grape made by some strange person, it looks good on display, right?

Xiaohua took a closer look, and found that the grapes were stained with water droplets and could not smell any fragrance, which made her even more certain that the grapes were fake.

Uncle Shi went to the backyard to slaughter chickens and ducks. When he came back, he saw his lovely little daughter looking around the grapes. He put down the chicken in his hand, stood by the well and washed his hands, saying: "Eat as much as you want, there are many more."

"Eat?" Xiao Hua twisted a grape with her hand in amazement, the soft touch was really a grape!

"Didn't you know that there is a greenhouse? It is probably raised in a greenhouse in Bizhou." Uncle Shi thought of the most appropriate explanation.

Indeed, at this time there are already out-of-season vegetables and fruits, but very few are grown, and they are only eaten by some wealthy businessmen or people with high official positions.

Especially in winter, when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, off-season vegetables and fruits are very expensive, how can ordinary people afford them?Nice to see you.

Xiaohua once heard her mother tell how the people in the big mansions thought about buying some fresh vegetables and fruits for the officials to eat in winter, so it is reasonable to see grapes now.

However, this grape is probably worth a lot of copper coins, right?Xiao Hua took the grapes and hurried to the West Wing.

Uncle Shi saw his daughter in a hurry, shook his head, wiped his hands and followed to the west chamber with a plate of grapes.

Aunt Shi was surprised that there were grapes at this time, and even more surprised that it was sent by Cassia Ming.

Being able to send so many whole grapes at this season, I am afraid that Cassia played a very important role in Shiwen Grain Shop.

There is only such a stupid Caesar who casually handed over a basket of gold to others. I'm afraid he still doesn't know what a basket of May grapes means.

The three of them ate a plate, the grapes were sour and sweet, Uncle Shi thought it was sweeter than the grapes he usually ate, and Xiao Hua and Aunt Shi felt the same way.

Uncle Shi went to the yard, scalded the chicken feathers with hot water, plucked the chicken feathers, cut open the belly, cleaned it, and put the washed chicken together in a large wooden basin for later use.

The cook who will come to cook tomorrow has already come over to look around the earthen stove built a few days ago and help Uncle Shi process the ingredients.

Several people work together, and a dozen chickens and ducks are processed quickly. The cook picks out a few, cooks them, removes the meat, and tears them into chicken shreds.

The pre-ordered fish was also delivered. Uncle Shi paid for it and carried it to the yard together with the fish in buckets, and waited for the next morning to kill and prepare fresh fish. The fish produced in this way are delicious.

A stranger was at home, Uncle Shi wouldn't let Xiao Hua go out, so Xiao Hua sat in the room embroidering, and waited for her father to call before going to see what help she could do.

Aunt Shi was anxious and wished she could go down to the ground to help herself, but Xiao Hua stopped her.

The midwife said that after giving birth, it is best for a woman to take good care of her during the confinement period, otherwise if the root cause of the disease falls, it will be a lifetime matter.

After the dishes were selected, the ingredients and seasonings were all ready, and several cooks drove the carriage back to the residence.Uncle Shi closed the courtyard door, closed his clothes and fell asleep in a hurry.

The next day at Yinshizheng (four o'clock sharp), the oil lamp in the main room was lit before dawn.

Uncle Shi hurriedly washed his face, shaved his beard, and went to Hu Tutu's house to urge the slaughter of pigs.

Hu Tutu was afraid that the pig would howl when the pig was slaughtered, so he gave it a good time while the pig was not paying attention, and then carried the pig to the board in the yard with his brothers, shaved the pig's hair and killed the pig.

When Uncle Shi arrived, the two of them had already cut up a whole pig and put it in a bamboo basket, putting it on the ox cart.

Seeing this, Uncle Shi hurried to help and put the meat on the cart. Not long after it was transported to the house, several cooks also came with the carriage.

The cook cooked the meal, and several people ate breakfast lively, and began to pack the ingredients in and out of the courtyard.

Near noon, the smell of meat wafted from the foot of the mountain. The people who had just returned from the fields couldn’t hold back and went to Uncle Shi’s house one after another, helping to lift the table, and squatting outside the courtyard to make jokes.

At noon, the guests were all assembled. From the main room to the courtyard, and from the courtyard to the outside, ten tables of banquets were set up, implying perfection.

Uncle Shi also invited Master Hua and Li Zheng to sit in the main room.

Before the meal was ready, Mr. Hua slowly ate the melon seeds on the table, and peeled them gracefully with his hands. When he was about to peel a small pile, a brat popped up next to him, rubbed them into his hands, and threw them into his mouth. Crunched and ate.

Hua Fuzi and the bear child stared at each other with wide eyes.

Li Zheng looked at his great-great-grandson with a headache, and pulled him to apologize to Master Hua.

The bear boy apologized insincerely to this person who seemed to be bullying, and ran into the yard in a blink of an eye, looking for other friends to play,

Hua Fuzi stared at his back, thinking: Now Xiong can, don't let me teach you, or you will cry.

The bear boy was just an episode, and soon, Mr. Hua was attracted by the dishes served on the plate.

When he came, he brought a cook with him. Except for Li Zheng's family, he had never eaten village food, let alone a village banquet.

If it hadn't been for hearing that Cen... he and this Shi Feng had a great friendship, he wouldn't have come to eat the full moon wine. What's so good about the dishes in the village?

Wafuzi is ready to call himself full as soon as he picks up a chopstick or two.

The first plate came up with a plate of spring rolls, and the waffle rolls were eaten. The sauce and parsley were crispy, and the pancakes were soft and chewy.

Really fragrant.

The dishes in the village are surprisingly delicious!

At the end of the meal, it was supposed to be roasted chicken, but it was replaced with stewed chicken with mushrooms. Mr. Wa thought that no matter how delicious it was, it would be as delicious as Bianjing's dishes. When he dropped his chopsticks, he couldn't control his hand reaching for the plate.

This chicken and mushroom tastes different.

Waffle took a closer look. In addition to chicken and mushrooms, there were a lot of leaves and beans on the plate, presumably for seasoning.

It was the big plate chicken recipe that Cassia Ming gave Uncle Shi. After tasting it, Uncle Shi was astonished and decided to make this dish on the full moon wine.

Mr. Hua originally planned to stop with two chopsticks, but now he couldn't help eating more. He drank while eating, and from time to time had to toast back and forth with Li Zheng, senior elder, and household head at the same table.

In the middle of the meal, a bowl of egg noodles was served. This is the custom of the full moon wine in Damo Township. Eat longevity noodles and pray that the full moon child will be healthy and happy for a lifetime.

At the end of the meal, the people outside suddenly became restless.

Master Hua sat in the main room reservedly, watching his nose, nose, and heart, and cultivated his body and mind.

Halfway through the repair, he suddenly saw that the cook who was serving the dishes was actually carrying a plate of grapes.

Hua Fuzi dropped his jaw in shock.

Could it be that this desert township is actually a place where dragons and tigers are hidden? !

Grapes, which are rare on weekdays, are even rarer in this season. People outside the door all lamented that Lao Shi really spent a lot of money this time, not to mention serving so many meat dishes, and there are still grapes to eat.

Regarding this, Uncle Shi smiled slightly, deeply hiding the merit and fame of Cassia Ming.

Thinking of the person who delivered the grapes, Uncle Shi looked towards the corner of the yard, and Jue Ming happened to look over. The master and apprentice looked at each other, and Jue Ming raised the rice wine as a signal, and bowed his head to take a sip.

It is said to be rice wine, but it is actually very light and not very sweet.

The author has something to say: Master Hua: Even if I starve to death today, Master Hua, I will not eat the food in the village!

...It smells so good!
