Defeat natural disasters with farming

Old man Qin and uncle Qin came back just before dinner.

Old man Qin is a short old man, probably because he has been bent over all the year round so he has a hunchback, his hands are extremely rough, and there are many small wounds.

Uncle Qin's appearance is average, but his figure is very tall, with a height of 1.9 meters. Compared with the small stature of his parents, he doesn't look like a family.

"Has the mother-in-law seen the child?" Old man Qin asked with a narrowed smile.

"I've seen it, she's very healthy, her nose is like her father's, but her eyes are like her mother's."

Mrs. Qin heard this while serving the dishes, and replied: "It's better for a girl to be like her mother, just like her father."

Uncle Qin also seemed deeply impressed, "Brother Wen mostly followed their mother, which is a good thing."

Ye Yu sat down at the table and began to listen to their chat.

It was even more surprising when eating. The beans and pork ribs were full of soup, oily but not greasy. The stick noodle cakes on the iron pan were soft and sweet, and the sauerkraut vermicelli served with it had a special taste.

Black and white vegetables are fungus and cabbage, both of which are common vegetables in winter. The black and white colors make people appetite, and the taste is light and refreshing.

As for the crucian carp tofu soup, it was brought into the house by Mrs. Qin. The soup was stewed into a milky white color, and there were basically no thorns in the fish, but it was delicious for Aunt Ye to eat.

Ye Yu didn't see Qin Muwu appearing until he was eating. His illness was not as mild as his grandma said, because he didn't even eat two bites of rice. In the end, Mrs. Qin cooked a bowl of white porridge and coaxed him to finish it.

A full meal took half an hour;

After eating and sitting for a while, Mrs. Ye got up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Qin asked to stay, "Why don't you stay longer? There is no place to live at home. You can stay for one night and go back tomorrow."

"No, I have something to do this afternoon, so I have to take Brother Bao to Huichun Hall."

Mrs. Ye touched Ye Yu's face and put the hat on for him.

"What's the matter, Brother Bao? Are you sick?"

"That's not true. It's for a follow-up visit. The medicine prescribed before works well."

After answering, he said: "There is a doctor Wu in Huichun Hall who is very good at medicine. If Brother Wu is still not well, you can go to see him."

The old lady Qin nodded when she heard the words, "Brother Wu has also taken medicine for a few days, but he has been complaining that he has no appetite, and he can't eat any oily smell. He just drinks porridge and pickles every day."

Ye Yu wondered if it was because he hurt his stomach.

It just so happened that Mrs. Qin also said this, "I guess I got hurt from taking medicine, so I'll go to Huichun Hall tomorrow and ask the doctor to have a look."

"Don't give it away, go back quickly, it's still cold today, don't freeze, Brother Zheng and Xiaobei will have to bring their two children over after the Chinese New Year, let Ye He and the others take you to play."

Qin Muwen wanted to go skating on the Liuhe River, and since then, he has been counting how long the Chinese New Year will be with his fingers every day.

Then Mrs. Ye brought Ye Yu back to Ye's Lo-Mei. At this time, there were still many customers in the shop, but it was much less than that in the morning. At least it would give people time to catch their breath.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Father Ye hurriedly washed his hands.

"It's almost time, let's go now."

"Success, then I'll go with you, boss and second, you two look at the shop."

Ye Yu rubbed his eyes, covered his mouth and yawned involuntarily. The child's physical strength is really worrying, and he is so tired.

Father Ye put Ye Yu in his arms, "Come on, Daddy hugs you."

Fortunately, Huichun Hall is not far away, and we will arrive soon.

It happened to be Dr. Wu's turn today. He stood up immediately after seeing the three of Ye Yu, and said with a smile, "The child's complexion is rosier than when he came last time."

"Come with me. Dr. Sun's room is at the back. You are the second one to come to see him for consultation today. The one in front just left not long ago."

It is said to be the innermost room, but it is actually the most luxurious one. It has all the necessary furniture, and the air is filled with the strong fragrance of tea. There is even a set of celadon tea set on the table. You can tell it is a high-quality goods just by looking at the pattern.

Dr. Sun himself was sitting behind the tea table. He had gray hair and a white beard that reached to his neck, but the skin on his face was smooth, which made it impossible for Ye Yu to tell his age at first glance. .

After learning about his intention, he put down the book in his hand, smiled kindly, and waved to Ye Yu, "Come here, my son."

Ye Yu sat cross-legged on the futon, stretched out her hands, and pushed up her sleeves along the way.

Then Dr. Sun began to concentrate on taking the pulse. He didn't speak for a long time, causing the atmosphere in the room to gradually freeze.

"Judging from the pulse condition, this child was born in the first half of the month, but fortunately, he has been recuperating well after birth, but is it easy to get tired during the day recently?"

It was Ye Yu who asked this question.

Ye Yu nodded to show that he was right.

"That's it." Dr. Sun stroked his beard, "This child insists that he is not sick, but he can't bear a little fatigue, and he gets tired easily in winter. There is no way to do it, but to take good care of it."

He asked again about the medicine prescribed by Dr. Wu.

"There is no problem with the medicine. It can improve the cold syndrome in his body. Is this winter less chilly than in previous years?"

Father Ye has the right to speak about this, "Yes, if it were last year, I wouldn't be able to go out for the whole winter."

"Just keep taking the medicine. If you have the conditions, you can soak your feet with the medicine powder every night before going to bed. I will prescribe a new prescription, and I will trouble the old lady to go to the counter to get the medicine."

When Mrs. Ye went out, Dr. Sun took out a pack of dim sum from the drawer and put it on the table, "Try this preserved fruit, it's from plums, it should be sweet and sour, and it should taste like your children."

Then when he turned his head to look at Father Ye, he said with a serious face: "I have something to tell you as a father. Don't let this child do heavy and tiring work in the future. He can't bear it. If you are sick, once you get sick, the money for medicine is not a small amount.”

He specially sent the child's grandmother away. Nowadays, most people value boys, but this child really can't do work, let alone farming, even if it's just ordinary housework, it may be a bit difficult.Although looking at the child's clothes, he should be quite favored at home.

Father Ye was startled when he heard the words, even Ye Yu was startled.

Seeing his appearance, Dr. Sun comforted him: "It's really not a serious illness. What I have to say is that he is a little anemic. You can eat more food that has the effect of nourishing blood."

Father Ye frowned and asked: "Will this matter hinder his life?"

Dr. Sun glanced at him in surprise, "The longevity is not a serious problem."

When he said this, he suddenly had a hallucination. The common people love their sons like their own lives, but the more noble they are, the more they can't let go of the power in their hands. The son is strong and the father is weak. This is the source of disaster for the family.

But this has nothing to do with him, he has retired and returned to his hometown, and now he is just a doctor in a small county in Donghai County.

Father Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but he couldn't do heavy and tiring work. It's a great thing for his life to be safe. He has to work harder and earn more property, so that when Brother Bao grows up, he doesn't have to work in the fields. To plan food and eat, just rent out the land at home.

"It's good to have a long life."

Dr. Sun seemed to be in a very good mood when he heard this. He wrapped the bag of preserved fruit and put it in Ye Yu's hand, and said kindly: "This bag of preserved fruit is for the sweet mouth of the child. It is made by my wife. After drinking it After taking the medicine, you can take one to remove the bitterness, and it does not conflict with the properties of the medicine."

Before Ye Yu could refuse, he withdrew his hand.

Just at this time, Mrs. Ye came in with the packaged medicine bag.

She asked, "Does the doctor have anything else to do?"

Dr. Sun shook his head, "It's all right, please remember to take the medicine as prescribed by the doctor."

Afterwards, the three members of the Ye family paid the consultation fee and medicine money and left from Huichun Hall.

Back in the shop, Mrs. Ye said, "I'll take Brother Bao home before it's dark, otherwise it will be too cold at night."

Father Ye had no objection to this, and he and Boss Ye sent the three of them to the door.

And told Ye Lao Er: "I would rather walk slowly on the road, and don't worry. I will talk about it after seeing the road clearly. We will go home after the Chinese New Year."

Ye Laoer nodded immediately, "Don't worry, you still don't believe in my driving skills?"

On the way back, he drove the donkey cart steadily to Yejia Village, so it was a safe journey.

When they got home, it was already dark, and Mother Ye and the others had already prepared dinner.

One bowl of thick millet porridge per person, served with steamed buns, and a plate of dried radish as a pickle.

Dried radish is the most commonly eaten pickle in the Ye family. The method is also very simple. Wash and cut the new white radish into thin strips, put it in a bowl and rub it carefully with salt until the water is completely dry, and then put it in the sun Exposure to the sun, until the radish strips curl up, it is considered done.

Dried the sun-dried radish in hot water, soaked it, then drained it, added sugar and chili, and mixed well. If you have the conditions at home, you can pour a spoonful of hot oil on it. The dried radish made in this way is both appetizing and delicious. It is very suitable to serve with rice, porridge, or with cakes and steamed buns. It can even be used to stew meat, which is very greasy.

The finished dried radishes are stored in jars and will not go bad until two or three months later.

These things seem to be a lot in detail, but in fact it is just a day.

When Ye Yu lay down on the kang, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his whole body relaxed.

He changed his posture and entered the space, and he had to satisfy his curiosity before going to bed.

Ok…

Buttered abalone was originally a kind of cheese product. In the works written by Zhang Dai in the Ming Dynasty, he introduced it like this, "It is abalone with bones, which is called the best taste in the world. "

It's the modern day equivalent of cream.

It turns out that there is cream now, so can the cake be made?

He doesn't like cake very much, but he suddenly thought of it, and this soft and sweet taste is something that many people can't refuse.

Even if you don't sell it for money, it's a good choice to try something new for your family.

But milk is needed to make butter, and now their family has no way to buy cows, and even the cows sold in the market last time were young bulls.

Ye Yu also didn't know if goat's milk could be used to make cream.

But even if it can be made, it can only be done after the ewes have milk. Looking at it this way, the two sheep in their family are really important property. The wool can be used to weave wool, and the milk can be used to drink. Making cream is like a treasure all over your body.

Ye Yu wanted to continue checking, but he obviously overestimated his energy, and before turning the page, he involuntarily closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
