Start being a Shennong today

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days after the National Day, and the total holiday is ten days. Many people want to take this opportunity to have a good rest, or go out for a trip.

Faced with such a situation, Taoyuan Village also opened the door of convenience. Anyone who is lucky enough to come to Taoyuan Village this month can invite their immediate family members within three generations to play together.

Tourists who come back to Taoyuan Village have another experience option.

The old houses built by the villagers have not been demolished. After all, the cost of demolition and heavy building is too high.These old houses do not quite match the style of the new houses in the village. In the past few months, Taoyuan villagers will find ways to renovate the old houses when they are free.

Nowadays, the old houses that have been renovated but no one lives in them have become a new choice for tourists. These tourists can choose to live in these houses without residents of the village and fully experience the life of a farmer.

There is also a small vegetable garden next to each house. I pick these vegetables, wash and cook by myself.Every family is equipped with a ground pot, which can be used to chop firewood and make a fire, and make ground pot meals by oneself.Just after harvesting the corn, a lot of fields have been vacated, and the villagers still have time to plant things. Tourists can also try it if they want to.

As soon as this choice came out, almost all tourists chose old houses.

What is even more unexpected is that the old adobe brick houses in the village were not demolished at the time because of their rarity, but this time a tourist chose to let their children experience the hardships of the past.

The people in Taoyuan Village are happy to be at leisure. The Mid-Autumn Festival is here, and they are all busy. There are too many tourists and there is not so much time to entertain them. Let them toss themselves.

Of course, mooncakes are indispensable during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now there are more and more mooncakes, such as crayfish mooncakes and durian mooncakes. Young people can’t accept it. Old people still prefer to eat some traditional mooncakes.

After discussing with Taoyuan villagers, it was finally decided to make six kinds of mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival this year, including red bean paste, lotus seed paste, egg yolk, meat floss, black sesame, and five-nut mooncakes that the elderly strongly requested.

Most of the young people in the village can’t accept this. It’s not that the five-nut mooncakes have been complained about by many people in the past few years. They recall the five-nut mooncakes they bought at home when they were young. Anyway, it’s not a good memory.

"What do you young children know? Five-nut mooncakes are not delicious because people nowadays don't know how to make them. Think of the five-nut mooncakes we ate before. They are delicious."

"Mom, it's because you didn't have much to eat when you were young. Of course, whatever you eat tastes good."

"You're not right. We've had enough of those wild vegetables and sweet potatoes. Everything tastes good no matter where they come from."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong!"

In this debate, young people are losing ground, even Tao Ran is no exception. Whoever makes Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia want to eat five kernel mooncakes, now they can only hope that Li Tingzhou can make five kernel mooncakes delicious.

There are quite a few people who pre-order Taoyuan Village mooncakes online, and the number of reservations for only five-nut mooncakes is far lower than the other five. As for mooncake gift boxes, gift boxes without five-nut mooncakes are more popular.

In the busy process of making mooncakes, the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer every day.All the mooncakes tasted good. Wu Renyue, which even young people in the village did not look forward to, received a lot of praise in the village. After they were made, they were sent to all parts of the country by express delivery. Taoyuan villagers could finally have a good rest.

Follow-up comments on mooncakes on the Internet did not pay much attention to the villagers. Mid-Autumn Festival, family members who are free are back, and everyone is preparing to celebrate the festival lively.

Tao Ran's family is even more busy, because Mr. Li has finally settled his affairs and is about to move to Taoyuan Village.

Li Yuan's family will also be visiting on the Mid-Autumn Festival.This is not only because the old man wants to live in Taoyuan Village for the elderly, but also because, as Li Tingzhou's elder, he wants to discuss with the Tao family the matter between him and Tao Ran.

……

The day before the Li family's arrival, Tian Yuxia was visibly nervous and directed her family around.

"Of course, you go to the old house, get some pomegranates, and pick the ones you want."

"Tao Shengwen, what are you doing sitting there? I laid some mats under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the morning. Go and see how much the sweet-scented osmanthus has fallen. Don't let the ignorant children step on it. By the way, if the sweet-scented osmanthus falls If there is too much, take it back first."

"Hello? Brother, did you kill the pig that Tingzhou picked? If it's finished, I'll ask Tao Ran to pick it up."

"Tingzhou, you go to the house to rest, you are not supposed to cook today, leave these to me." Tian Yuxia noticed that Li Tingzhou had come to the kitchen again, and hurriedly urged him to leave.Usually, she regards Li Tingzhou as a family, and she is not polite to him when it comes to cooking. It is Tian Yuxia who prepares all kinds of things in advance, and Li Tingzhou is in charge of cooking, but this time it is different.

"Mom, everyone in my family knows about my cooking, and my grandpa doesn't mind at all." Li Tingzhou understood Tian Yuxia's concerns, took the kitchen knife in Tian Yuxia's hand cleverly, and explained in a slow voice, "We usually work together Busy, if I let go of it now, you can't finish it by yourself."

"That's what you said." Tian Yuxia was persuaded by Li Tingzhou, she was too nervous and dizzy, "But now I just prepare the dishes first, and I can do it by myself."

Seeing that Tian Yuxia would not let him intervene, Li Tingzhou could only walk away.If he had to say it himself, it didn't take much effort to cook by himself. In this room, he was the one who had the most leisure every day.

"Let's go, let's go pick pomegranates." Tao Ran found Li Tingzhou alone in the courtyard when he got out of the house, so he dragged him to pick pomegranates together.

This year's pomegranates are big and red. Tao Ran picked two a few days ago. The pomegranate seeds inside are as red as gemstones, and the taste is as sweet as honey.At that time, after Tian Yuxia tasted it, she asked Tao Ran not to harm it, and kept it until Mr. Li came to eat it.

After a busy night, on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Li and Uncle Li's family arrived at Taoyuan Town at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Yuan was sitting in the co-pilot, and the person in charge of the door today recognized him as soon as he stuck his head out.

"Not bad, it finally comes in handy."

"Grandpa, you are looking down on me."

The old man ignored him, looked at the scenery of Taoyuan Village, and sighed happily: "It's so beautiful, this is my retirement home."

Uncle Li, who was sitting in the back, was full of displeasure, but he didn't dare to say anything for the sake of the old man.Mr. Li doesn't care about this bad son. The youngest son is indeed talented in business, but he just cares about face and doesn't like it.Anyway, the youngest son can't control the eldest grandson, so let him be awkward.

"Grandpa, should we go around the new house first, and then go to Taozi's house? Or go directly?"

"Of course I go home first." Uncle Li interrupted the old man before he could speak.

At the door of Tao Ran's house, Li Tingzhou, who had received Li Yuan's letter, asked Tao Ran and the others to sit in the room, and he went to take the old man to take a good look around the new home.

Li's house is not far from Tao Ran's house. Mr. Li got off the car and saw his grandson Li Tingzhou waiting, but he couldn't see Tao Ran's figure. Woolen cloth."

"Don't worry." Li Tingzhou supported the old man, "This is the place where you live for the elderly. For the first time, let's take a closer look, but we can't run away."

"The vegetable garden at the gate is nice. I can grow some vegetables to eat when I have nothing to do." The old man walked in the front and stepped into the gate of the yard first. "The sweet-scented osmanthus trees are blooming really well. We must brew some sweet-scented osmanthus wine this year."

"It's really good here. No wonder Tingzhou doesn't want to go home when he stays here. He stays here as a cook." Uncle Li is still a little unhappy about Li Tingzhou and Tao Ran being together, and he is unhappy with Li Tingzhou's choice to be a cook. The matter is even more brooding.

The old man gently lowered his hand holding the handle of the pressurized well, and said with a frown, "If you can't speak, stop talking. Eat more tonight and keep your mouth shut."

"Dad, don't be angry. Guangwen has no bad intentions. He knows that Tingzhou is talented in economics, and he can't bear to let him go to waste here." Second Aunt Li smoothed things over, winking at her husband and letting him He stopped talking.

Li Tingzhou turned around and said solemnly to Uncle Li: "Second Uncle, cooking is my hobby, and it is my pleasure to cook for my family. Where I stay, what job I choose, who I love, it is up to me. Even grandpa can't change my own wishes."

After speaking, Li Tingzhou took his grandfather to visit the house, leaving the others to stay where they are.

"Dad, why haven't you figured it out after such a long time. The way you want must be suitable for my brother. My brother now has a lot of restaurants in his own house, not to mention that he made money in the stock market. Isn't it very important?" If you want to start a company like you, you will be considered successful." Li Yuan shook his head behind him.

"Mom, please try to persuade my dad. Today is a big day. If my dad said something unpleasant during dinner at night, grandpa will probably..." Li Yuan shook his head, keeping everything in silence.

When Li Yuan took Aunt Wang who came to take care of the old man, his husband Lao Li and their son Xiao Li to their room, there were only two uncles and aunts left in the courtyard.

After seeing the house once, the old man urged to go to Tao's house.At this time, the Tao family who received the news from Li Tingzhou were already waiting at the door.

"Let me take a look at Ranran. I haven't seen Grandpa for a while, but I miss you a little bit." Mr. Li felt that Tao Ran's temperament was particularly to his liking, especially knowing that Tao Ran had bred a new variety of peach trees, which had been handed over to the school teacher for handling. , but she hides behind the scenes, and likes him even more.

"Grandpa, are you tired from the journey, go into the house and have a rest." Tao Ran stepped forward to hold the old man's hand, Li Tingzhou held the other hand, but Li Yuan, his grandson, couldn't squeeze in at all.

Tian Yuxia and Tao Shengwen were both relieved that the old man was so enthusiastic.They knew that the Li family was not an ordinary family. Even though Tao Ran and Li Tingzhou had always said that the old man was a very good person, they were somewhat troubled in their hearts. After all, they were ordinary farmers.

Even if the two families just met, even if Second Uncle Li was a bit unacceptable, he didn't dare to show it on this occasion.Aunt Li was different from Uncle Li, she chatted with Tian Yuxia affectionately, and when she entered Tao's house, she saw that their house was clean and tidy, and she could see many of Li Tingzhou's usual things, her smile became more sincere.

Thinking that it was almost time for dinner, Tao's family didn't bring out snacks that could fill their stomachs, and all the candied fruits were served.

During dinner, everyone except Mr. Li started to move, and even Uncle Tian was ordered by Mr. Li to press water to wash his hands.

Today, I made a large table of dishes, but the best thing on the field is the five-nut mooncake. This five-nut mooncake is filled with peach kernels, almonds, walnut kernels, melon seeds and sesame kernels. The recipe developed by Li Tingzhou is good. , The raw materials provided by Taoyuan Village are good, and the five-nut stuffing made in the end is crispy and fragrant. Mr. Li couldn't resist eating two pieces.

"Grandpa, try this lotus root box. It's made of lotus root with nine holes. It's crispy." Tao Ran took a piece of lotus root box for the old man. filling.

When everyone was happy to eat, Li Tingzhou put down his chopsticks and toasted Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia: "Dad, Mom, this glass of wine is toast to you, thanks to your care during this time."

"Oh, this can't be done." Tian Yuxia waved her hand quickly, she didn't know whether it was because of her willingness to drink a few sips of mulberry wine, or because of her happiness, her face was flushed

"I still have to thank you, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am now." Tao Shengwen said with a silly smile.

"I've been alone for a long time, but luckily I met Ranran. During this time, my parents have taken good care of me, so I'm just in charge of it." Li Tingzhou drank the wine in one gulp.

"What's there to thank, we're all a family, so there's no need to distinguish them so clearly." The old man looked at them with a smile, and he was very happy. "Come, let's have a drink together!"

"Cheers!" The full moon hung in the sky, and the glass made a crisp sound when it touched a piece, and happy smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
