my backyard farm [system]

When Lan Yu and the others arrived, Grandpa Zhang's house was busy.

A simple tent was set up in front of the house. Under the first three tents, three high benches were placed side by side, with large wooden boards on them, and a chopping board on the wooden boards. Several uncles were standing behind the wooden boards, chatting and swinging Cutting bones with a kitchen knife.

Under the other tents was a simple wood-burning stove made of iron sheets. After stuffing dry firewood into it, the door of the stove was closed, and the fire was turned on again. Lan Yu saw that Lin Jianguo was frying ribs, and the uncles beside him were also busy cooking.

Near the wall, a simple clay stove was set up with bricks, with a charcoal fire inside, and a small pot on it was simmering various soups.

"Lin Dayong, do you still have glutinous rice flour at home?" An old lady poked her head out of the kitchen window and shouted.

"Yes!" Lin Dayong, who was chopping off the leg bone, answered with a knife in his hand. Just as he was done with his work, he put down the knife and walked out without untiing his apron. "I'll get it, how much do you want?"

"Fried candied dates still lack glutinous rice flour, so just pack them in two bamboo tubes."

Lin Dayong waved his hands, "Okay, I'll go first."

Everyone was busy, and Lan Yu didn't see the village chief or Grandpa Zhang.

Que Ganhua and others saw this kind of scene for the first time. Everyone was busy with the things in hand in an orderly manner. When they saw the strange young man, they just smiled kindly, and then lowered their heads and continued to work.

Although Que Ganhua would run around with his father, it was the first time he had seen this kind of scene where he prepared a banquet by himself in the countryside.

Looking at the various ingredients and semi-finished products in the tent, Que Ganhua was dumbfounded, "Make it all by yourself?"

Lan Yu walked to the kitchen with the wine and sweet potato slices, and replied, "You can make it yourself, but if you have a lot of people to entertain, please invite a mobile restaurant."

Grandpa Zhang was just celebrating his grandson's return home, and he was just inviting people from the village. There was no need for a mobile restaurant.

"Grandpa Zhang killed a pig, and then killed a few chickens. When the time is almost up, the uncles in the village will come to the door with gifts to help, and when the cooking is done, everyone will have a lively meal."

Pigs are usually prepared by the owner himself, and seafood has to be ordered, and some people will order some fish plates, and the rest of the villagers will come to the door with their own ingredients.

However, because there is no agreement in advance, sometimes there will be a shortage of certain materials. At this time, the person in charge of making this delicacy will ask who has more and borrow it first.

Lan Yu came to the kitchen with a few curious people looking around behind her.

The kitchen is very big. Compared with Lan Yu's house, which was partitioned, the kitchen of Grandpa Zhang's house can be seen at a glance except for a few pillars blocking the view.

On the east wall are two large double-pot earthen stoves. Sister Zhou is lighting fires on both sides, and the aunt who called out just now is frying fried cakes. On the other side, my aunt is lifting the wooden cover, and white smoke instantly fills the entire kitchen.

Lan Yu smelled the aroma of the nine-layer cake, and leaned forward, and sure enough, the nine-layer cake was steaming in the pot.

Que Ganhua and the others also leaned forward one by one, watching the smoke dissipate. There was a round iron pan in the pot, the height of which was only five centimeters.

They looked intently, and on the iron plate, only a thin layer of nine-layer cake was crystal clear.

The aunt was busy adding rice milk, smiled at Lan Yu and the others, scooped up a spoonful of seasoned rice milk, poured a thin layer on the nine-layer cake, and then covered it.

Uncover the rear pot, and after the smoke is filled again, pour the remaining half spoon in the spoon onto another round iron plate.

After the wooden lid is closed, a huge iron spoon is stirred twice in the wooden bucket filled with rice milk, and the wooden lid of the front pot is opened again. The rice milk poured just now has solidified, and the layer is so thin that the bottom layer can be seen. A layer of dried shrimp and some vermicelli pork.

It looked mouth-watering, especially with the various aromas from the kitchen, Que Ganhua admitted that he was drooling.

The aunt scooped up the rice milk and poured it on again familiarly, then covered it, and opened the lid of the rear pot.

Sister Zhou stuffed two sticks of dry firewood on each side, and seeing Que Ganhua and the others staring intently at it as a nine-layer cake, she said with a smile: "This is a nine-layer cake, and there are freshly baked ones on the table behind you, go and get some to eat." .”

Just as Lan Yu was about to say no, she turned her head and saw pairs of expectant eyes. Feeling amused but also a little greedy, she handed the golden cherry wine and a basket of sweet potato slices to Sister Zhou, "Sister Zhou, this is yours. Here, I'll take them to make some nine-layer cakes."

"Okay, go, what's in the basket"

Sister Zhou untied the cloth on the basket curiously, saw the hardened sweet potato slices, and smiled, "This came in time. Just now, the children were asking if there were any fried sweet potato slices today."

Then he turned his head and said to the aunt who was frying fried cakes, "Fry some sweet potato slices later."

The aunt looked down and was amused, "Isn't this the sweet potato slices I gave Lan Yu last year? I haven't finished eating yet."

"Not yet." Lan Yu replied holding up the knife, "I was too lazy to pick up the frying pan when I remembered it, and I forgot about it."

The aunt laughed loudly, "Then I'll blow it all up, and I'll have a good time eating it."

Sister Zhou accosted from the side, "Fry more, I'm hungry too."

"Okay!" The aunt readily agreed.

Lan Yu led a few people around the big round table next to the pillar, and was carefully cutting the hot and slightly sticky nine-layer cake with a knife, and put it on a small clean plate aside, one pair per person Chopsticks let them eat by themselves.

Ever since Gu Kai and the others stepped into the kitchen, their noses have been filled with the aroma of various foods, especially the round pancakes being fried in the oil pan. The smell is really overbearing.

Que Ganhua had eaten the nine-layer cake before, but it was cold, but it was the first time to eat the hot cake just out of the pan, and Gu Kai and the others had already eaten it.

He waited for Lan Yu to cut a piece himself, and carefully picked up the top of the nine-layer cake with chopsticks. With a slight lift of the chopsticks, a layer of translucent nine-layer cake was peeled off.

Lan Yu held the plate in one hand, and sent the nine-layer cake with the chopsticks in the other hand to his mouth. He ate small dried shrimps and small pieces of pork belly.

"Delicious!" Gu Kai took a bite of the triangular-shaped nine-layer cake, and couldn't bear to spit it out even though it was hot.

Que Ganhua imitated Lan Yu to eat layer by layer, it was not hot, but he always felt that it was not as refreshing as Gu Kai, so he lowered his head and took a big bite.

Not to mention, although it is hot, the taste is really different, and it will not choke if you take a big bite. Instead, because of the unique structure of the nine-layer cake, it is separated bit by bit in the mouth, and the aroma of dried shrimp and pork bursts out instantly. .

Lan Yu likes to eat layer by layer.

The bored Que Ganhua took a bite and ate one layer after another, "This is more than nine layers?"

Lan Yu: "Nine layers of base layer, good workmanship, five centimeters in height, can be stacked more than ten layers, and each layer can be opened without breaking."

Brother Que and the others suddenly realized, and then began to count how many floors there were.

After Lan Yu finished eating the last layer, she turned her head and opened the fried cake next to it which was steaming through the bamboo woven lid. She picked up a piece with chopsticks and bit into her mouth. Garnish with fresh garlic leaves.

"What is this?" Gu Kai finished eating the nine-layer cake, saw Lan Yu eating fried cake, curiously picked one up, it was a little hot, it looked oily, and tentatively took a bite.

With a sound of "click", the fried cake was bitten out. Gu Kai looked down while chewing. The round fried cake was opened. The outside was golden after frying, and the inside was white. There are bean sprouts in it.

"Fried cake."

Gu Kai gave a thumbs up, "It's delicious!"

Que Ganhua and the others silently followed Lan Yu to eat, and nodded in agreement when they heard this. The freshly cooked food is delicious!

After Lan Yu finished eating the fried cake, she turned her head and opened the other cover. Inside was a maroon sugar cake board. She cut a small piece with a special knife and inserted a chopstick into it. The sugar cake board trembled on the chopsticks. Weiwei trembled, the cut surface looked smooth, and the overall feeling was very heavy.

The taste of the nine-layer cake is gentle, so the deep-fried cake is domineering. After eating one, I want to have another one. Just as Gu Kai wanted to eat another one, he saw Lan Yu eating another delicacy, and came up curiously.

Lan Yu also cut a piece for everyone.

Gu Kai also imitated Lan Yu and used a chopstick to eat; Que Ganhua and the others also set up their chopsticks one after another, and Lan Yu had no choice but to stick them all.

After the three lids were closed, Gu Kai wanted to see how the fried cake was made.

So a group of adults held the sugar cake board with Q bombs on the chopsticks and came behind the aunt to watch the fried fried cakes.

The raw materials for fried cakes were also in the wooden barrel. Que Ganhua and the others looked down and saw that the two wooden barrels were filled with white sticky rice milk, with garlic leaves and bean sprouts added respectively.

The aunt scooped up the rice milk with garlic leaves with a spoon, and picked up a special tool that was air-fried in the oil pan. The whole tool was made of iron. , the iron bar is curved, and the handle is wood.

Put the rice milk on the discus, spread it with a spoon, and then put it in the oil pan.

The sound of "sizzling" sounded with the bubbling of the oil pan. The aunt stuck the handle on the iron pan, then picked up another tool, and stuck it on the iron pan after doing the same. Put the spoon back into the bucket and grab the first tool Press down on the pan.

After a while, the roughly formed fried cake floated up, and then the aunt didn't use chopsticks, so she turned the fried cake with the tools in her hand.

Gu Kai and the others watched intently, taking a bite of the sugar cake board from time to time, watching the fried cake turn from white rice milk into a golden delicacy.

"This smells too good."

The aunt was praised, and she narrowed her eyes with a smile, "My craftsmanship is first-class. Not everyone can make non-stick rice milk. I can remove the mold without using chopsticks."

Gu Kai Haibao applauded, his eyes showed admiration, "Auntie is great!"

"Oh, this kid has a sweet mouth!"

"No, I'm telling the truth!" Gu Kai said seriously.

"I'll fry sweet potato slices for you to eat!" The aunt was even more happy, and quickly put all the fried cakes in the pan aside to drip oil, then picked up the sweet potato slices brought by Lan Yu, and stretched her hand on the oil , felt the temperature, scooped up a handful of sweet potato slices with a spoon and threw them down.

Gu Kai quickly took a slice of sweet potato and put it in his mouth. He bit it hard and almost broke his teeth. He covered his cheek and said in pain, "What is this, so hard?"

"Sweet potato slices can't be eaten directly. This one is like shrimp slices. It will swell into a large piece after frying." Lan Yu handed Gu Kai a tissue, pointing to the sweet potato slices that were decomposing in the oil pan.

Gu Kai gnawed on the sweet potato slices and found the sweetness. He was reluctant to spit it out. He stuffed the paper towels in his pocket and finished the sugar cake board. He held the chopsticks in his hands and looked at the sweet potato slices that swelled in an instant in amazement.

"Wow, that's bigger than fried shrimp crackers."

Xie Jia and the others also exclaimed again and again, and then got the fried sweet potato slices just out of the pan.

Lan Yu and Er Que had already been squeezed out.

Que Ganhua patted his belly after eating the candy cake, "I'm half full."

"These are all made from glutinous rice or rice, and they will definitely fill your stomach." Lan Yu took the chopsticks to wash, and while washing, Gu Kai couldn't get out holding the bowl.

Gu Kai took a bite of the fried shrimp chips just out of the pan, and sighed, "There are so many delicious ones, I'm so happy!"

"I didn't eat it every day. This time you happened to meet Zhao Xun Zhaohua and the others back home. Usually, they only make such a complete meal during the Chinese New Year." Lan Yu explained.

"It's really happy during the Chinese New Year, I will come back then!" Gu Kai clicked his mouth, planning in his heart.

Lan Yu happened to see twins and Wen Yufei who came down from upstairs, and greeted them politely, "Aunt Wen."

Wen Yufei also heard Zhao Xun talk about Lan Yu, and had chatted with Grandpa Zhang before, and got to know Lan Yu for a while, and smiled and stepped forward to stuff a red envelope, "Aunt Wen gave it, you must not accept it."

When Gu Kai saw the goddess's eyes lit up, he stepped forward and said sweetly, "Aunt Wen, I'm Lan Yu's good friend Gu Kai!"

Wen Yufei chatted with the kid Gu Kai for a while before, knowing that the kid was probably a fan of hers, so she rolled her eyes and handed over a red envelope, "Good kids have red envelopes!"

Lan Yu didn't expect that she could still receive red envelopes. Wen Yufei had already gone to stuff red envelopes for other children in a daze. When she turned her head, she saw Gu Kai smiling silly at the red envelopes.

Gu Kai: "Hey~"

The village head came in from the door, greeted Lan Yu, and then looked at Gu Kai. Que Ganhua, who just came out, hurriedly took his little friend to introduce to the village head. After the introduction, the village head took Que Ganhua and the others to the front hall for a drink. tea.

Lan Yu didn't follow, turned around and greeted Zhaoxun and Zhaohua obediently with the villagers who came and went. The eyes of the two sisters were still red, but judging by the expressions on their faces, the result was very good.

Some seniors stuffed red envelopes for the dragon and phoenix twins, and the two rushed to collect the red envelopes, and it took a while before they were free.

When he was free, Zhao Xun jumped in front of Lan Yu, raised his head and laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "Brother Lan Yu!"

"Are you relieved now?" Lan Yu touched Zhao Xun's head, which was approaching, and put the red envelope in his hand into his pocket.

Zhao Xun nodded again and again, "Yeah, grandpa even praised me!"

Zhaohua's head also leaned over, his eyes sparkling and he said, "Praise me too!"

"Good boy!" Lan Yu smiled, and seeing Zhao Xun's eyes fixed on Ah Hu, she said with a smile, "Want to hug me?"

Zhao Xun nodded, looking expectantly, Lan Yu turned to look at Ah Hu.

Ah Hu meowed depressed, "It's really troublesome, it's too cute to be so bad."

Then he jumped into the arms of Zhao Xun, who was full of surprises, and squinted his eyes to enjoy Shun Mao's service.

Zhaohua's gaze was fixed on Qin You, with love shining in his eyes, "This puppet is so good!"

Lan Yu looked at Qin You.

Qin You used his spiritual sense to convey a no word to Lan Yu.

"Ah~ Thank you for the compliment." Lan Yu said.

Zhaohua immediately understood, this one won't be hugged, and she covered her mouth and giggled.

Lan Yu also laughed, "This one won't work, but other puppets at home can."

"Understood, just like the doll I just brought home, my brother is absolutely not allowed to touch it!" Zhaohua said with his eyes bent.

Zhao Xun stroked the cat with peace of mind, muttering in a low voice, "I never touch the cat randomly, okay?"

At the gate, several boys and girls who were about the same age as twins were muttering in low voices, and finally the one who lost in the boxing game asked Zhaohua to come out to play.

"Mmmmmmmmmm!"

Lan Yu followed Zhaohua's line of sight and saw the young generation of Lin Family Village who was poking around the door. She nodded at Zhaohua, "Go, I just happened to go to your grandpa and give you a message."

Zhaohua thanked him and went, but Zhaoxun didn't go, he carried Ahu and followed Lan Yu up the second floor to Grandpa Zhang's room.

Grandpa Zhang's old house has a different layout from Lan Yu's house. Lan Yu led Zhaoxun around the dark stairwell to Grandpa Zhang's bedroom. The door was ajar, and Lan Yu knocked.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." Grandpa Zhang's hoarse voice sounded.

"It's me, Lan Yu." Lan Yu said as he opened the door and walked in.

The lights in the house are still turned on during the day, and the lights are not very bright, but you can still see the panorama of the house with the sunlight coming in from the open door.

Lan Yu's old house was remodeled by Lan Qiao, the layout is relatively modern, and every room except the master bedroom is relatively spacious and bright.

This bedroom was still the same layout as before, a long room with a partition in the middle, which blocked the light coming in from the windows at the back, causing the lights in the front room to be turned on.

There is a 1.2-meter small bed next to the partition, a pulp-coated table in front, and three or two high wooden stools. On Lan Yu's right hand is a tall wooden shelf on which various tools are stacked.

There is an electric kettle on the table, and there is a ceramic pot belly pot and cups of boiled water beside it.

Lan Yu pushed the door open and came in. Grandpa Zhang was putting away the photos on his hands and was about to get up, "Did someone call me?"

Lan Yu shook her head and sat opposite Grandpa Zhang, "No, but the banquet is about to begin."

Grandpa Zhang groaned, then lowered his head to think about something, Lan Yu didn't say anything, and hugged Qin You to braid his hair.

Qin You quarreled with Ah Hu again, and Ah Hu quarreled with Qin You while being touched by Zhao Xun.

"Lan Yu." After a while, Grandpa Zhang sighed and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Tell me." Lan Yu straightened her back.

Grandpa Zhang took out the photo from under the pillow, and rubbed his rough fingers over the son in the photo, "It's fine for me to live alone. Now that the child comes back to school, Xiao Wen will come back when he recovers from his illness. My old house is worth living." Change it."

Zhao Xun stopped stroking the cat, hugged Ah Hu and pursed his lips without speaking.

Grandpa Zhang showed a happy smile, "I originally wanted to tear down a small villa, but Xiao Wen and the children all said that they like the original appearance of my old house."

Lan Yu shook her head and said, "There's no need to push it down."

"If the child likes it, it is necessary to tear it down. After all, the house exists for people to live in." Grandpa Zhang retorted.

Lan Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

In Grandpa Zhang's heart, the house is a dead thing after all, and the loved ones come first.

Grandpa Zhang took out a faded file folder, opened it, and inside was a stack of blueprints in immature handwriting, and pushed it to Lan Yu, "I am old and lack energy, and I can't understand these blueprints, please help me to get someone to follow these blueprints." remodel the house."

Zhao Xun was a little surprised when he saw the blueprint. He raised his head and smiled shyly at Grandpa's cloudy and loving eyes.

Lan Yu saw everything in his eyes, flipped through two pages of blueprints, and guessed that these blueprints were made by Zhao Xun and Zhao Hua.

Some of the drawing lines inside are crooked, but it can be seen that both of them are trying their best to retain the original style of the house.

Grandpa Zhang narrowed his eyes and continued: "Money is not a problem, the old man still has some savings."

Lan Yu put away the folder and said with a smile: "It just so happens that Guan Tong and I are going to build a house, and then the buying station will also be set up. I will discuss it with the village chief and hire a reliable engineering team. It will definitely be done well by then. of."

Seeing that Grandpa Zhang wanted to get the passbook, he hurriedly stopped him, "I'm not in a hurry for the money. I'll ask the engineering team how much it costs before I come back. We can negotiate a price together."

"Hey! I'll leave it to you, I'm at ease!" Grandpa Zhang smiled and took Lan Yu's hand, and patted it vigorously.

Dinner is served at 11:30.

As soon as Grandpa Zhang came down, he was pulled to the main table, and Que Ganhua and the others were already seated.

Lan Yu looked at the village head present and the uncles in the village who were good drinkers, and then at the golden cherry wine that the village head brought in his hand, bent over and pulled Zhao Xun and turned to the children's table.

The children's table has many advantages, grabbing food and grabbing wins, and there are all kinds of drinks if you don't drink alcohol!

It happened that this table was full of familiar children. Lin Hangbin, Lin Hangtu and others were happy to see Lan Yu, and they all shared with Lan Yu the drinks they thought were delicious, such as coconut milk, cola, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, blueberry juice, and Sprite.

Using disposable plastic cups, Lan Yu looked at the cups of drinks in front of him, lost in thought.

Because they are all from my own family, I don’t pay much attention to it. The dishes are all served in one go. Except for a few freshly fried vegetables, most of them are served directly on the table.

The cold dishes are stewed beef, deep-fried prawns and soaked duck feet. The children grabbed a prawn and started to chew.

Zhaoxun was more interested in soaking duck feet, so he took one and gnawed slowly, and then ate slowly with dried bamboo shoots and meat.

Lan Yu looked at the big fish and meat on the table, and finally picked up a bowl and made a bowl of chicken and snake soup with eggs.

There is an egg in the bowl, the soup is very clear and smells a little sweet.

"How does it taste?" Ah Hu licked his tongue and asked.

Qin You couldn't eat now, so he didn't open his mouth.

"Taste, compared to simple chicken soup, the taste is clearer and sweeter." Lan Yu didn't eat the meat in the soup, and ordered another bowl. I never had prickly heat, but one year all my classmates got prickly heat, but I didn’t.”

After two bowls of soup, the last stir-fried vegetables also came up. The small cabbage with the length of the index finger was quickly fried in the pan, added salt and then stir-fried a few times, and it was very good.

Lan Yu got up and carried over the steamed rice bucket, filled the children who were drinking with rice, and warned: "This bowl of rice must be finished."

The children wailed, but still obediently picked up the rice and started to eat.

Sister Zhou and the others had just washed their hands and were about to see if the children had eaten, when they saw Lan Yu staring at the children eating obediently, smiling at each other, and went to drink with peace of mind.

After Lan Yu finished eating, punches had already started on the main table, Gu Kai and the others sneaked away, and Que Ganhua was yelled at by the villagers one by one, and couldn't run away.

Gu Kai blushed from drinking, found Lan Yu, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "No, no, no, uncles drink too much!".

Brother Que and Xie Jia supported each other and nodded in agreement.

"Drink with a bowl!" Gu Kai's eyes were a little straight, he patted Lan Yu's shoulder, and said indignantly: "You are not kind, and you ran to the children's table without saying that you would take us with you."

Seeing that the village chief seemed to be waving at her, Lan Yu dragged Gu Kai and ran outside, "Run, or you'll be caught and go back to drink!"

Gu Kai was a little confused, "Can I be arrested after leaving the table?" He followed Lan Yu obediently, and Second Brother Que and others quickly followed.

The village chief looked at the backs of Lan Yu and the others with regret, "Ah, I ran away."

Que Ganhua looked at the backs of these people with a look of lovelessness in his eyes.

Running outside the yard, there were still a few tables. Lan Yu saw that Zhaohua was sitting with the boys and girls in the village, and there were two tables next to the girls.

Seeing Lan Yu and the others, the aunt who fried fried cakes greeted them warmly, "Come and eat some more."

Gu Kai was about to step forward when he was pulled by Lan Yu.

Gu Kai was puzzled: "Huh?"

"Auntie can drink more than the village chief and the others." Lan Yu whispered, "Look clearly, the yellow color in the bowls of Auntie is rice wine, not soup!"

Gu Kai was shocked: "It's so scary!"

Lan Yu pulled Gu Kai and ran away: "Ma'am, if she doesn't sit at the main table, she dislikes the village chief and they drink and waste!"
