Sister Jia from the animal defense station in the town is a warm-hearted person. Before, the Zhang family wanted to raise bamboo rats, and when they went to the animal defense station for consultation, it was the farm where Yan Chunhua worked that Sister Jia introduced to them.

Sister Jia's husband is also a soldier, and he has been working in the agricultural station of the town government for five or six years. She is also a real person, in order to better participate in the formulation of agricultural technology promotion and organization and implementation, the eldest brother and Dayu passed the door several times without entering, almost making his son enter the rebellious period in advance.

Before, the village chief of Zhangjia Village went to the town to consult the agricultural policy, and he was looking for Brother Guo.

Chen Xin and Sister Jia have met twice, chatted for more than an hour, although they dare not guarantee Sister Jia's personality, but from the dialogue and words and deeds, it can be judged that this person is very upright, and Second Sister Zhang also said that Sister Jia is very concerned about their family's construction of a bamboo rat farm, and specially collected information for them to send home.

However, this matter cannot be decided by Chen Xin alone, she plans to discuss with the second sister before thinking about how to ask Sister Jia for help.

"I also think Chunhua is very good, that is, do people like our family?"

Although Chunhua is also a rural girl, she is a serious student, even if she marries in the town or county, it is very easy to find someone to eat the imperial grain.

"Second sister, don't be presumptuous. Let me tell you, don't underestimate the eldest brother, you really want to build this farm, and when the road is repaired in the future, you will get some other things to do, and it is no worse in the mountains than in the city. Chen Xin knows how difficult it is to get a rural hukou later, and how many people want to rent land in the countryside but can't.

"What's in the city, they live in buildings, a large family is squeezed into so many dozens of square meters of space, it's good to have money, buy two more houses, parents and children live separately, squeeze together for a long time, but there are some contradictions. Although it is said that the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also exists in rural areas, Grandma Zhang is not the kind of elderly person who cares about everything, and she should not be unpleasant. It's really not good, let the eldest brother approve a homestead again, just build next door, and have his own space and can take care of the elderly at any time. ”

The second sister didn't quite agree. In the countryside, it is necessary for her son to support the elderly, and her family used to have two brothers, but now there is one eldest brother, and if they live separately, they will definitely be poked in the back.

Chen Xin didn't have any experience in dealing with this problem, and she didn't want to have it, so she lost a sentence and talked about it when the time came, and then pulled the topic to Yan Chunhua again.

"The only thing I'm worried about now is what Chunhua thinks of her eldest brother, and what she plans to do if her family doesn't allow her. So I think it's best to ask Sister Jia for help, and there is no need to rush to find out, even if Chunhua is not happy, when the teaching time comes, she will just leave, and it will not hurt the harmony. ”

The second sister was a little unwilling, but she couldn't think of a better way. Chen Xin was right, if she ran to Yan Chunhua to ask the other party's thoughts, if people were happy, it would be fine, if not, the rest of the time would be embarrassing.

Now that it has been decided, Chen Xin told the second sister that she would not tell anyone else for the time being, and she quietly asked Sister Jia if she was willing to help. In order to find an excuse not to arouse suspicion, Chen Xin took advantage of Friday to make tofu again, this time made of alpine black beans, and the color of the tofu made did not look as white as soybeans, but it was nutritionally better.

The soybean milk was inconvenient to carry, so she only packed a small bucket of bean curd and tofu, wrapped it in straw and put it in a bamboo basket, and Chen Xin went down the mountain on the agricultural tricycle that came up to deliver agricultural materials.

She went to the proprietress of the rice noodle shop first. I gave the proprietress a bucket of bean curd made by herself, and by the way, I saw if I could eat the hot sauce I made ten days ago.

"I showed it to you yesterday, it's okay, but I think the spiciness is a little weaker, and the peppercorns are a bit too much, you can try to adjust it next time." This stir-fried meat foam with spicy sauce can be served with rice. The proprietress happily accepted the bean curd sent by Chen Xin, and also gave a small jar of hot sauce made by herself as a return gift. The hot sauce is only a small jar of two catties, and it is estimated that the family can eat it for about a month.

Chen Xin found a human tricycle from the door of the proprietress shop, pulled a bamboo basket and two jars of hot sauce and went to the animal defense station to find Sister Jia.

In these years, there was not as much talk about corruption as later, and the peasant friends gave some food to the teachers in the station, which would not attract criticism of bribery. To tell the truth, this animal defense station does things according to the system, and unless there is an epidemic, there is no chance to take bribes.

Chen Xin quickly found Sister Jia, who was chatting with her colleagues in the office. It's Friday afternoon, there's nothing else to do in the station, everyone is waiting for the end of work.

"Chen Xin, why are you here? Is there something wrong with the Zhang family's farm?"

Because her husband is in charge of the agricultural development plan in Zhangjia Village, Sister Jia is also a little more concerned about the Zhang family's breeding business.

"It's okay, I'll go down the mountain to run errands, and it just so happens that I made my own bean curd at home, all of which are home-grown beans, so I said I'll send you some to try." ”

The barrel is not big, and the small wooden barrel is fully loaded if it is five catties. Chen Xin filled two-thirds of the tofu and bean curd, almost three catties and less than four catties respectively. By the way, she also gave Sister Jia the hot sauce of the proprietress of the rice noodle shop, which is fried in vegetable oil, with some minced garlic, ginger and chopped green onions, and it is a perfect match for eating bean curd.

Chen Xin has eaten the most famous bean curd in a small county town in Shudi, the water where the bean curd is incomparable to other places, but it is not too good, the only thing that makes people amazing is to eat the dipping water of the bean curd, which is fresh and spicy and will not cover up the sweetness of the bean curd itself, and each spice is matched just right. I heard that the sauce there was made by a master himself, and the family had been making this sauce for several generations, and he refused to accept apprentices, which must be the inheritance method passed down from father to son. Chen Xin tried her best, but she didn't let the master let go of her to teach her.

Sister Jia opened the lid of the wooden barrel and smelled the fragrance of beans, and immediately couldn't help but take out the lunch box greedily, scooped some of it, and ate it with hot sauce. The hot sauce given by the proprietress is fresh and spicy, and there is basically no other taste except spicy, so it is also very delicious when paired with bean curd.

Seeing that Sister Jia was eating well, her colleague unceremoniously took out the lunch box and asked for some, her eyes widened as soon as she entered, and asked Chen Xin if she had any bean curd to sell.

"It's all made at home and eaten by myself. The home is in the mountains, but it is not convenient to sell it in the town. ”

Sister Jia's colleague was so disappointed, she turned her head and discussed with Sister Jia to divide some of her, saying that her mother-in-law had bad teeth and could only eat soft and gentle, this bean curd melted in the mouth, and it could be both salty and sweet, and it must be popular for the elderly.

Sister Jia didn't hesitate much, and knew that Chen Xin was not a stingy person, so she immediately distributed a lunch box of bean curd to her colleagues, and cut a piece of tofu and packed it in her own lunch box for her to take back to eat.

After the separation, just after getting off work, Sister Jia directly pulled Chen Xin home, saying that she wanted to go back and show her hand, and asked Chen Xin to try her craftsmanship.
