Chapter 285: Years Ago

The meat in the pot stewed for more than three hours, and it can be said that the meat is rotten and the soup is thick. Not to mention the little sister Dandan, even Yang Dongxu, who had eaten a lot for lunch, couldn't help but catch a few bones and gnaw on them.

After gnawing on the bones, Yang Dongxu began to prepare the dishes to be eaten in the shabu-shabu at night, although there were no loose urine cow balls, or A-grade fat cow or something, which was a bit of a fly in the ointment. However, there are still plenty of dishes to eat.

Of course, you don't have to think about enoki mushrooms or anything, not to mention that enoki mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms are not available in rural areas now, but there are also mushrooms in the countryside that are not picked in the wild, but grown by themselves.

What is the specific scientific name Yang Dongxu doesn't know, in the countryside they all call it mushrooms, the white kind, grown in a sealed and dark room with some animal feces, the meat is a bit like chicken leg mushrooms, but it is more elastic, and there is a taste of meat when fried and eaten.

In winter, it gets dark relatively quickly, and the sun has already set not long after the preparation is here. Hongying took Dandan to the back house to call grandparents, as for the uncle, the sun had already arrived before it set.

Washed the copper pot and sat on the induction cooker brought back, then poured a bottle of boiling water into it Yang Dongxu began to put the base prepared yesterday and the broth stewed in the afternoon, and the rich fragrance came out after a few minutes, so that the meal soldiers watching next to him swallowed their saliva.

"Don't stand there and watch, go to the kitchen and bring all the dishes, and when the grandparents come, you can eat them." Seeing that the uncle was staring at the hot pot in a daze, he didn't even notice that the child in his arms was about to fall, and Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes.

Dad Yang was cooking the pot and Mother Yang was preparing dinner, and as soon as the aunt came, she stuffed the child to the uncle to help in the kitchen. Only when he joined the army, he only had hot pot in his eyes, and he didn't want to do anything, just waiting to eat.

"Okay. "When it comes to eating and joining the army, that's no, I put the child in the chair next to me and run to the kitchen.

"Slow down. Seeing that the little guy who was suddenly thrown down by his father rolled in the chair, his uncle didn't pay attention to this side and turned his head and ran to the kitchen, Yang Dongxu hurriedly stretched out his foot to block the child who almost fell to the ground from inside and outside the chair, and glared at his uncle's back.

is such a lazy dad on the stall, and I don't know if my little brother will develop a scoundrel temperament if he grows up.

picked up the towel next to him and wiped his hands, Yang Dongxu bent over and hugged Xiaojie. The countryside is cold and there is no air conditioning, so the children at this time want to wear a ball, of course, the most iconic is naturally the open crotch pants.

Compared with Yang Dongxu's various patches on his clothes when he was young, and most of them are still his sister's clothes, the quality of life of this little guy in front of him is undoubtedly much better. Tiger head hat, plus tiger head cotton shoes, and a belly pocket to block saliva in front of it, this is the top configuration of rural children now.

The little guy is only seven months old now, there is a smell of milk on his body, rural children can't afford to eat milk powder, and now milk powder belongs to the top nutrition for the elderly, so now babies are generally weaned when they are one year old.

For Yang Dongxu, a strange big brother, the little guy didn't cry when he was hugged, but looked at each other in a daze, his big eyes flickering with curiosity and dazedness, and his little head probably thought again: Who are you?

Looking at the fat little face, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but reach out and pinch it. Seven or eight months old children can't walk yet, but they are very cute. Although his uncle looks average, his aunt is beautiful, although the little guy in front of him is a boy, he has inherited a lot of his mother's excellent genes, and he is naturally very cute.

"Yike...... Ahh......h

"It's kind of heavy to put him in a chair and let him play on his own. The little aunt who came into the house with the vegetables saw Yang Dongxu holding her son and said.

"It's okay, it's too cold on the chair, he's wearing open crotch pants. Although the rural children are porcelain, even if the weight of this little meat and egg in front of him is doubled, it will not make Yang Dongxu tired, seeing his aunt serving the food, the uncle doesn't know where to go Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking: "Where is the uncle?"

"Went to the latrine. The aunt said, put down the food in her hand, turned around and continued to walk towards the kitchen.

Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes speechlessly, at this time he felt that the local saying in the countryside that the lazy donkey grinds feces and urine is mostly used on his uncle, and there is no sense of disobedience.

By the time my mother's dinner was almost ready, my grandparents had arrived. Behind the big table is naturally the position of the grandparents, Yang Dad and Yang Mom in the east, uncles and aunts in the west, and Yang Dongxu and his brothers and sisters are naturally squeezed on a stool in the south.

"Put the mushrooms and slices of meat in and cook them first, and then you can't finish cooking when you eat the vermicelli. Yang Dongxu stood up as he said and began to put things in the hot pot.

Eating pots is not new in the countryside, and people with conditions like to use this to eat meat in winter. However, the hot pot is still quite fresh.

"It's not ripe yet, can you eat it?" Seeing Yang Dongxu throw some green vegetables into it, take it out and put it in a bowl and give it to grandparents first, Yang's mother said.

"Green vegetables don't need to be cooked, otherwise they won't taste good. ”

"Come on, come on, let's drink some of the cups first. Seeing his son getting something into the hot pot, Dad Yang raised the wine glass in his hand.

Although it is not Chinese New Year's Eve, even if it is a New Year's holiday after the separation, it is rare for all to sit together to eat, not to mention that the relationship with grandparents in previous years was not very good, so it is natural to drink two cups when I get together today.

Yang Dongxu was banned from drinking in the name of still going to school, even if Yang's father took out medicinal wine. Mother Yang and the women also drank alcohol, so it was the adults who clinked the glasses.

Adults drink alcohol and children naturally drink juice, originally Yang Dongxu wanted to bring Coca-Cola or Sprite back, these are rare things for rural children, but when he saw a more tangible juice, Coke or something was naturally excluded by him. The current juice is real juice, not the kind of stuff that has additives or anything mixed up in later generations.

Joining the army likes to drink, but I can't take my eyes off the juice when I see it. It's not that he feels how good the juice is, but he feels face-saving for this kind of thing that other people can't drink, and after drinking it, there is something he can take out and brag about.

"I'll go get you a cup. Seeing the appearance of his uncle, how could Yang Dongxu not know what he wanted to do, so he got up and found him a cup and a glass of juice.

"Drinking can't stop you. Seeing her husband's appearance, the aunt glanced at him helplessly, fortunately, the family sat down to eat together, knowing what kind of virtue her husband had, if he looked like this outside, it was not shameful enough.

"What do the girls know, this is a good thing, it's really a fruit, do you know the orange? This is the orange juice I drank last time I went to Yanjing. Joining the army glanced at his mother-in-law, looking like a girl with long hair and short knowledge.

said that he had been to Yanjing and had eaten in a big restaurant, sat in an air conditioner, and had a car, which was the abundant capital that the uncle had bragged about in the village in recent years, even if it had been boasted for many years, as long as he took out this experience, others would have to stand aside no matter what they said.

"As long as you can. The aunt snorted. But she looked at the orange juice in front of her husband curiously, she used to marry into the town and had seen the world, but there was juice to drink in winter, and she was quite curious about what kind of orange juice it was.

Looking at his aunt's appearance, Yang Dongxu got up and went to get the cup again, this time not to take one, but to take it for his grandparents, parents and parents.

"Dad, how about you get a vegetable greenhouse and farm in our village?" Yang Dongxu, who sandwiched a hind leg bone into the little sister's bowl and ate a bite of green vegetables, asked.

"Vegetable greenhouse?" Dad Yang is a little unfamiliar with this term.

"The vegetables you brought back are grown in the vegetable greenhouses I mentioned, and if we get the greenhouses right, we can sell the vegetables we grow next winter.

But it's a little too early to get this, and spring will start during the New Year, and the vegetables grown after making it will not sell at a price that is not available. This can be done in the autumn of next year, and it can be sold in the winter just in time for the vegetables to be grown. ”

"Can you really grow vegetables in the greenhouse in winter, plant those vegetables that are pulled back?" Grandpa Yang Dongxu asked curiously.

He knows how much money he made from bringing back those vegetables from his eldest son's family, and if he could save a sum of money from growing these vegetables himself, he would obviously be able to earn more. However, no one has ever planted celery, potatoes or anything else in the countryside here, and it is a little uncertain whether it can be planted or not, and Grandpa Yang Dongxu's crop veteran is also a little uncertain.

"The planting can definitely be planted, but because of the soil quality, the potatoes are estimated to be not as big as those planted in the north, but the yield of tomatoes and green peppers is definitely not low, and we have planted these vegetables in the summer to be more sure. At that time, we can also ask experts to consult and then determine what to plant. ”

Yang Dongxu only has a general idea of how to build greenhouses, what should be planted, how to plant and how to fertilize, which needs to consult professional people.

"Can those experts come to our countryside?"

Rural people have great respect for scholars, especially those who can be called experts, and even if many scholars were reformed through labor in the countryside a few years ago, no one felt that they were inferior. Everything is inferior, but the idea of reading high is still very marketable in the current social environment.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll just go find someone when the time comes. But this can be in no hurry, after all, it is the second half of next year to get the thing, if you get a farm, you can not wait for the freeze after the New Year, you can build the cover. ”

"Then what to raise?" Dad Yang has a positive attitude towards his son's flexible head, especially when he comes back this time, he brings back 10,000 yuan, which makes him feel that his son has the ability and will not treat what he says as a child.

"Chickens, ducks, whatever. I tend to raise pigs though. Yang Dongxu said.

He pondered this matter for a long time last night, and felt that raising pigs was more promising than raising chickens or ducks. Of course, there must be a lot of investment in raising pigs, not to mention that it costs a lot of money just to buy a few hundred piglets, which is not a good year to turn over.

"Pig farming. Grandpa Yang Dongxu frowned.

He knows that raising pigs to make money, but now almost every household in the countryside raises pigs, which is not unusual, and he feels that the greenhouse vegetables that his grandson said are more interesting.
