Chapter 85

"Mom, sister-in-law, leave the dinner to us, you just have to wait to eat." When preparing to make dinner, Nongzijian tied up his apron and drove Jiang Chunfeng and Lin Yuan out of the kitchen, "It will definitely surprise you! "

"Can you do it?" Jiang Chunfeng looked skeptical. Doesn't she understand her own son? He doesn't have much talent for cooking. At most, he can cook a bowl of noodles, and he can't even fry an egg well. "I believe in June's skillful hand." , don’t let them do all the work.”

"Auntie, Zijian is still very good at cooking now, let us show you tonight." Lu Yuege said with a smile, this is a good opportunity to please the mother-in-law, and also to show them that although he is a man, he can also cook. Their sons are no worse taken care of than women.

"Mom, let's go out and wait." Lin Yuan pulled Jiang Chunfeng out of the kitchen.

In the past six months, Nongzijian has also learned some simple dishes, otherwise Lu Yuege would always prepare three meals a day, it would be too hard, and he would feel distressed.

So when Lu Yuege was cooking, he followed along and learned a little, and now he can make a few simple home-cooked dishes.

Their family is a big family with a large number of people, so there are many dishes to prepare. Lu Yuege and Nongzijian have already inquired about his family's preferences. While Lu Yuege was handling the meat, Jiang Chunfeng came in and took a look, "It looks pretty good."

"Of course, you just have to be surprised." Nongzijian said.

"It's not a compliment, what are you proud of?" Jiang Chunfeng knocked him.

Nongzijian couldn't help but smirk, of course I'm proud of my boyfriend.

Nong Zhigao also came back from get off work. He led Nong Xinxin into the kitchen, patted his son on the shoulder who was half a head taller than himself, "I can cook now, I really understand a lot."

"Dad, when did I become ignorant, under your education, I have always been very obedient, okay?"

It's okay to be naughty, the eldest brother is more fierce than the father.

Nong Zhigao took his grandson out happily and waited for dinner. They worked hard when they were young, but now they are all grandparents. They can take good care of everyone, the family is harmonious, and he is really proud of being the head of the family.

The couple worked together for more than an hour, and the sumptuous dishes were served soon. Lin Yuan was serving the meal, while Lu Yuege and Nongzijian brought out the last two dishes from the kitchen.

Most of the dishes on this table are ingredients they brought from the mountains, such as yam bamboo fungus keel soup, fried bacon with folded ears, fried chicken with fresh bamboo shoots and bean curd sticks, fried dried fish with sour sauce, fried beef with bitter gourd, stewed rice snails, pork feet and duck feet. Boiled shrimp, steamed sea bass, stir-fried sweet potato dish, and fried black fungus Quma dish.

The dishes were served one by one, and even Jiang Chunfeng and Lin Yuan, who were usually in charge of three meals a day at home, were full of admiration, "Isn't June a professional chef? Just by looking at the color and smelling the taste, you know it's pretty good."

"I prefer to cook. If there is a banquet in the village, I will work in the kitchen, so I have learned a lot of dishes." Lu Yuege said.

"Is it delicious? You can tell by looking at my figure. I am at least ten catties heavier than before." Nongzijian said while gnawing on a pig's foot. Fortunately, he ate and cooked a lot, otherwise he would have gained weight in advance .

Jiang Chunfeng gave him a sideways glance and smiled, "You still say, don't they all cook in June, and you know how to eat without doing anything!"

"I'll help wash the vegetables and dishes, okay?"

"Auntie, Zijian is very diligent. Thanks to his help this year, the harvest in the field is much better than in previous years." Lu Yuege spoke for her boyfriend, "This dish of fried bacon and sour fried dried fish is Zijian did it, and what he is doing now is very good."

"There are fewer young people who can cook now, like Uncle Zijian's family, the younger couple are both hands-free, and your aunt does everything, and she even said that she would hire a nanny." The old lady was very satisfied with Lu Yuege, "How much Good boy, he looks so handsome, and his hands are so skillful, if only we had a girl in our family."

Boys can too!Nongzijian shouted in his heart.

He cooks delicious food, is kind, brave and diligent, and treats me very well. Parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters-in-law, please let me be with him!

As for the old man, he naturally liked his granddaughter-in-law whom he had identified from the very beginning. Lin Yuan poured him a small glass of wine, and the sour fried dried fish was placed in front of him, and he was drinking with great relish. These are the taste of hometown.

"Granddaughter-in-law is good at craftsmanship, good wine, good food!"

The parrot in the cage also yelled, "Daughter-in-law! Good wine! Good food!"

"I guess grandpa will like this." Lu Yuege smiled and said to the old man, "The fish is a wild fish in the river ditch. It is smoked with charcoal fire and then dried in the sun. Add some capers and soybeans and stew it. It is very suitable for drinking and eating. , my mother-in-law also likes to serve wine."

Sour fried dried fish is the best appetizer for the older generation.

Both adults and children in their family can eat spicy food. Jiang Chunfeng and Nong Zhigao have a soft spot for the pot of boiled shrimp slippery. Lin Yuan is also full of praise, "I will try this shrimp slippery next time, it is really good have eaten."

Not long after dinner was served, Nong Zikun, who was supposed to be socializing outside, came back. Nong Zijian greeted him, "Brother, come and eat quickly."

Lu Yuege also greeted Nong Zikun, "Brother Kun."

"Are you back?" Nong Zikun nodded at them, put down his things and washed his hands, and sat down. He didn't know that the dishes on the table were made by Lu Yuege and Nongzijian, but after tasting a few mouthfuls, he obviously felt that it was not his usual food. taste.

"Isn't Mom and Yuanyuan cooking today's dishes?" Nong Zikun asked.

"Brother, is it delicious?" Nongzijian grinned, with an earnest expression of "Praise me, praise me".

"It's very good. Could it be that you made it?" Nong Zikun asked with a rare smile. Some of the dishes on the dinner table are often made by his family, but the taste is slightly different from the previous ones, but they are still delicious.

"I made it with Yuege!" Nongzijian showed a big smile, "I made the stir-fried ears you are eating now."

"Really, it's really delicious." Nong Zikun nodded. Folded ears have a special taste, and they are strangely harmonious and delicious when fried with bacon.

"Zikun couldn't accept Zhe Er at all before, and he gradually fell in love with it after being with me." Lin Yuan also said with a smile.

Nong Zijian told his family about the process of doing farm work and the harvest. Nong Zhigao and the others have experienced these things, so there are constant topics at the dinner table, and the atmosphere is very good.

Lu Yuege was actually quite worried that Nongzijian's family would ask him to go back to work in the city, but miraculously, they didn't.

While sleeping at night, Lu Yuege and Nongzijian said, "I thought your family would call you back to inherit the family business."

"As for my eldest brother and cousins, I'm not interested in those management jobs," Nongzijian smiled as he wiped his hair, "Don't worry, such things as fighting for family property will never happen in my family, and neither will my dad." Get you out of mine with a check for five million."

Lu Yuege put his arms around Nongzijian's neck, "You are priceless, no matter how much you pay...I don't want anything but you."

"Hey, your mouth is so sweet..."

"Well...then you should try it more..." Lu Yuege chuckled, put his tongue into Nongzijian's mouth, and swam over the roof of his teeth and the root of his tongue.

The two lingered for a while, and when the lust calmed down, Nongzijian pushed open the glass door. The old lady on the balcony had been helping him take care of the plants, and the red roses and blue gentian were blooming beautifully.

"The blue flowers are so beautiful." Nongzijian knelt down to look at his plants, and he took out his mobile phone to check, "The flower language of gentian is...'Falling in love with you who is sad'? Ha, that's a little bit with me None of them match, okay, if you gave me a pot of roses at that time, maybe I would understand."

The weather is fine, the moon is big and round on the [-]th day, the villa area is not in the city center, and there are few lights, so it is a good place to enjoy the moon.

"I didn't care about the language of flowers back then, I just wanted to give you something special that you would like." Lu Yuege sat on a deck chair on the balcony peeling oranges, and there were mooncakes and grapefruits on the small table next to her. It’s not like you don’t understand the scarf you wove as a gift.”

"Oh, blame me, blame me for being too stupid and slow."

It's a good thing they are together now, the flowers are there, the flowers are full and the moon is full, I only hope that the people will last for a long time.

Lu Yuege opened his hand towards Nongzijian, "Come here, give me a hug."

Nongzi's sword pressed onto Lu Yuege's body, and Lu Yuege hugged him tightly into his arms.

Nung, moon and new moon.

At noon the next day, Lin Yuan came back with a pot of fried snails when she got off work. She found Lu Yuege, "June, my friend is decorating a snail noodle shop, and he wants to find someone to make bamboo lamps, can you do it? "

The bamboo toys that Lu Yuege brought to the two children last time were very popular. Her friends saw them when they came to play, and they really liked these handicrafts. Now that they are going to decorate the new store, the other party has this idea.

"What kind of lamp does he want to make?"

"It's the lampshade in the shape of an snail. You can weave those small animals so finely. The snail should not be difficult. You just need to be responsible for the lampshade, and they will be responsible for the lamps and wiring." Lin Yuan said, "Of course they will pay you. paid."

Lu Yuege said, "Then I'll give it a try. Does he have any special requirements? Did he design the form himself and I'll make it up or what?"

Lin Yuan gave Lu Yuege her friend's contact information, "You can talk about the details."

Lu Yuege was very concerned about this matter, and after returning home, he immediately started working.

Bamboo weaving is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Just splitting bamboo slices into bamboo strips of uniform thickness is a very complicated thing. It needs to be carefully polished and boiled to increase toughness, and finally weaving.

None of this can be learned at random, it takes years of experience.

Bamboo strips are divided into Qingmi and Huangmi. Qingmi is thin and tough, and is mostly used to weave some fine things, and the craftsmanship requirements are higher. This time, Lu Yuege chose Qingmi to weave for the screw lampshade.

Lin Yuan's friend was very demanding and suggested several revisions. Lu Yuege patiently followed through on it. After half a month, he finished thirty lampshades in the shape of snails.

This lampshade is actually not difficult. First, more than a dozen wider bamboo strips are used to prop up the conical snail skeleton, and then thin bamboo strips are used to weave and wind four-section screw shells ranging from small to large.

Lu Yuege also gave a few bamboo baskets as a friendly gift, and then packed them in boxes and took them to the county to send a courier there.

Meng Renfeng took a video of this bamboo weaving, and when it was posted on the Internet, the response was beyond their expectations. Seeing Lu Yuege deftly weaving small animals in bamboo baskets for lampshades, many people left messages saying they wanted to place custom orders.

Because of the emergence of plastic products, bamboo weaving is difficult and labor-intensive, so the market demand is not very large. Lu Yuege used to weave it himself and sold it in the county, but it was not easy to sell.

Bamboo is everywhere in the mountains, and the cost is very low. Now that the Internet is so developed, if you can receive such an order, it will be a good way to make money.

Because of Lu Yuege's video, many people knew about Lin Yuan's friend's snail noodle shop, so it became very popular as soon as it opened. In addition, the snail noodle shop there is very authentic, and there are many people every day.

The shop owner couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, and immediately sent another red envelope to Lu Yuege, which was beyond his expectation. He immediately expanded the second floor, and also sold bags of snail noodles online. Just made a lot of money.

For the sake of the future, in order to be more confident in saying "I will take good care of him" to Nongzijian's parents in the future, it is in this mountain that Lu Yuege has been working hard to raise pigs, ducks, make handicrafts, and shoot videos. Diligent and down-to-earth are working hard to make money.

At the end of September, Mr. Lan Tang also came back. He passed the review of the official organization of supporting education and became a math teacher and English teacher in Dazhaizi. Zijian took the project and wrote the code together.

Lu Yuege was still busy with the work in the field, plowing the land to grow vegetables and raise pigs, raising ducks with Meng Renfeng, and taking orders to make bamboo weaving.

Life is plain but fulfilling, and this kind of life is even more beautiful than what Lu Yuege originally imagined.

Meng Renfeng is going to push his family's ancestral house to be rebuilt. The outer wall of the original ancestral house is made of mud bricks burned by himself. One side of the wall has been cracked by years of rainwater and has a long crack, which may collapse at any time. .

He bought a car last year, and this year he spent about 1 yuan to treat his leg injury. In addition to buying ducklings and feed, he actually has no money left. Now the price of reinforced concrete is getting higher and higher, and labor costs are also lower. High, this house should be built quickly.

After discussing with Lu Yuege, they plan to do what they can do by themselves, and hire others for other technical difficulties, which can save some costs.

After pushing the old house, they drove to the brick kiln factory in the village to buy bricks, and then to buy cement, steel bars, doors and windows.

Meng Renfeng plans to build a one-story building, which is the most common layout where the hall is in the middle, rooms are on both sides of the hall, the bathroom is under the corner of the stairs, and the roof can be used for drying things. The kitchen and the pig house and cow house will also be next to it. Build up slowly.

In the past, most of the houses in the village were stilted buildings built of wood and yellow mud. Hard limestone was used for the foundation. Some people bought gunpowder and went to the mountain to blast the stones, and then transported suitable stones back home by ox cart to make the foundation. The houses of Lu Yuege and his family in Montenegro are all made of limestone, which is very strong.

There are still many stones blasted by the predecessors on the mountain. The pickup truck cannot drive to the mountain over there, so they drove more than ten bullock carts to pull the stones back.

Coming here, Nongzijian really experienced a lot of different lives.

The demolition of the house and the digging of the foundation depended on the almanac. The four of them dug the foundation together without inviting others. It took several days just to dig the foundation.

After the foundation was dug, the construction team was called in. They were responsible for moving bricks, mixing cement, picking cement, and cooking a meal for the construction team at noon.

Nongzijian wears long water shoes and mixes cement with a hoe. The cement is mixed with water and sand to make it sticky. The keg looks small, but the density of cement and sand is high. He picks four buckets at a time, which is very heavy.

Physical labor consumes a lot of energy. Lu Yuege started to prepare lunch at eleven o'clock. A few days ago, he went to Dazhaizi and ordered more than 20 catties of pork from the pork vendor. Boil a large pot, cut two Chinese cabbage and made a fried Chinese cabbage with pork, one salted duck egg per person, and a plate of pickled papaya sour.

Uncles are very happy. They help people build houses in the stockade, and they say they include Chinese food, but there is no fresh meat for sale in the stockade, even if there is an owner, they can’t afford it. Like meat and eggs now.

Nongzijian squeezed his sore arm, "I often see such stalks on the Internet saying that moving bricks and forgetting, and now I know how hard it is to move bricks and mix cement."

Lu Yujing laughed while smoking a cigarette, "A lot of things seem simple and easy. Only when you really experience it can you know whether that line of work is hard or not."

"You're tired after only one day of work." Another younger uncle also laughed while rolling tobacco, "Your aunt is still a cement mixer in our team. It's not because you are too cheap and capable, so she I didn't come."

"Auntie still mixes cement?" Nongzijian was very surprised. He had seen this uncle's aunt before, "She's so thin..."

"That's right, she can't do it slower than you."

This kind of thing is not surprising, the children of the poor have already headed the family, and here, women also need to use their thin shoulders to support the whole family together with their husbands.

This is life, this is the world.

Inverting the floor also needs to be optimistic about the days. After two weeks, the formwork can be removed, and then the doors, windows and furniture will be added slowly, and the house will almost be built.
