The next day, Brother Zhang went to the town and bought a piece of beef, five catties of offal and ten catties of pork.

Recently, because Yan Chunhua was guiding the farm at their house, the food at home was relatively good. This is also the reason why Chen Xin brought some money back before, and specially instructed them not to be too frugal in food, so as not to make the teacher feel that he looked down on him.

Yan Chunhua is not a wasteful person, and she also persuaded the Zhang family not to make it too good, saying that she just followed them to eat. But the Zhang family has always been sincere, and the expected future is closely related to Yan Chunhua, so no matter how hard they try, they feel that it is due.

In addition, Chen Xin is back this time, and it is even more impossible for them to treat the two girls badly in terms of food.

In addition to beef offal, Brother Zhang also bought beef leg bones and pork backbones. This is made with boiled soup, and the little fat man Zhang Zhang likes to eat bone broth the most, whether it is cooking porridge or noodles, he likes it very much.

When Brother Zhang came back, Chen Xin was looking at chili peppers with her second sister in the soil of Zhang's house. This is not yet the time when the peppers are in full bloom, but there are some peppers that can be eaten. I heard that under a town near the county seat, 20 acres of land were made to make greenhouse peppers, and it was only the first season this year, and the market response was not bad. It is likely that greenhouse cultivation will be promoted throughout the county.

"Do you want to build a greenhouse in my house?"

Chen Xin looked at the surrounding terrain and felt that if she didn't talk about it, it was very likely that she would not be able to make ends meet. But you can still use one in a small greenhouse, and it's good to grow a little high-grade fruit, such as blueberries and the like. But according to her, it's still too early to get these things, most people's lives are not at this level of consumption, and even people in provinces and cities don't dare to think about what to eat and buy.

"Okay, I'll just think about it. When the second sister saw Chen Xin's objection, she didn't say anything, she sat on the big stone by the soil with her stomach upright, and nibbled on the fruit picked from the mountain in her hand.

The fruit is a bit like a mountain pear, but the season is not right, and I heard that it is a wild fruit unique to this place, except for the pregnant ones who like to eat it, others are not sensitive. Just now, Chen Xin cut a small piece to taste, and almost didn't spit out her teeth.

There are not many early ripening peppers, so Chen Xin picked some and went back to make some sauce to try. And she heard from the second sister that Grandma Zhang used to be very good at making sauce, but then the third child left, she was so sad that she didn't make it anymore, and now the sauce at home is made by the second sister, which is average.

"The third child especially likes to eat the hot sauce made by my mother, every time he comes back to visit relatives, he doesn't want anything, he eats the hot sauce, and when he leaves, he will bring some to his comrades. Later, when the people were gone, my mother had to think of the third child every time she made sauce, and she couldn't cry, but the eldest brother didn't allow my mother to do it again, saying that she would break her eyes. ”

Hot sauce is already spicy to the eyes, and with constant crying and kneading, it will definitely hurt the eyes, which cannot be denied. But now when it comes to Chen Xin and her brother-in-law, Grandma Zhang is much better, maybe the sadness has faded after a long time, or it may be that there is an eldest grandson, which continues the son's bloodline and gives the old man a sustenance. In short, the current Grandma Zhang will not collapse easily.

When they got home, Brother Zhang had already been home for a while and was washing meat. Yan Chunhua was also helping next to him, although the two couldn't talk and laugh, but when facing Yan Chunhua, Brother Zhang's expression was much more relaxed, and he occasionally smiled a little.

Chen Xin had an idea, but this is not a good time, wait for another observation, and talk to the second sister in two days.

"Are all these bones stewed?"

Chen Xin glanced at it, it was a corbel and a stick bone, so she asked Brother Zhang to cut it off with an axe, wash it and throw it into a big pot to stew.

"Stew the leg bones first, put the pork backbone for a while, and then stew it in two days. He turned his head and said to Second Sister Zhang, "Second Sister, I think I should go to the town to buy a freezer and come back." In this weather, the meat can not be put in, it is easy to spoil, and if it is marinated, it is not as delicious as fresh meat. ”

A freezer costs several thousand, and even if the Zhang family has money, they don't dare to buy such an expensive thing. Besides, they don't usually need it, so when Chen Xin said this, the Zhang family was silent.

"It's not bad to have a freezer, you have to raise bamboo rats, and some things also need to be refrigerated at that time, otherwise it will be a waste of manpower to buy them every day. Yan Chunhua helped, but what she said was also true, even if Chen Xin didn't say it, she would bring it up when the time came, and as for whether to buy it or not, it was up to the Zhang family to decide.

"Then buy it, I'll go down the mountain to town to order one tomorrow, and let someone drive it up when the time comes." ”

This year's road is a little better than in previous years, although there is no major repair, but the village chief also summoned manpower, and then a village below the total, arranged for people to level the dirt road, there are big potholes in the place of the mountain stones, and with mud compacted, although the rain will let the mud flow away, but as long as the arrangement of people to make up for it, the driving is no problem at all, much stronger than before.

The town also saw the determination of the village, and after research, agreed to the village's request, and contacted experts from the Agricultural University to come and investigate. The plan for the first phase is still being developed, but the preliminary preparations and the first batch of funds are already in place. So during this time, the village chief and branch secretary, as well as a few strong laborers in the village, were too busy to stay at home.

If it weren't for Brother Zhang's bad feet, the village chief would definitely call him along, this is an opportunity to leave a good impression on the above, and he can open his mouth if he wants to do something in the future.

But the village chief also knew that the Zhang family was determined to build a farm, and the technicians were invited to the house, so he didn't bother the Zhang family with other things, and promised that the Zhang family needed the support of the village.

The village chief is righteous, and the Zhang family is not the kind of person who eats in the bowl and looks at the pot, they only do their own things wholeheartedly, and do not cause trouble to the village casually.

When Chen Xin was boiling beef bone soup, the son of the village party secretary ran over, looked in the courtyard, and shouted that the town had called, saying that the agricultural support applied by the Zhang family had been approved, and that he had given a three-year interest-free loan, and asked Brother Zhang to go to the town tomorrow with his ID card and materials to go through the procedures.

After finishing speaking, no one left, and asked Chen Xin with his eyes open and his mouth open.

"Second brother, why don't you stay and eat, my eldest brother bought beef and beef stick bones, I will make soup, and I plan to get a stilted beef to eat. ”

"Beef on the feet? What is that?"

Beef knows, but it's the first time he's heard of beef. Isn't this a cow like a normal cow?

Chen Xin laughed twice and explained: "This is a special dish in Meizhou, in fact, it is very simple, the important thing is this pot of soup, the soup is delicious and the color is bright, it is a good soup, the beef is cooked in the soup after the water is bleached, and the slices are taken out and sliced, and the beef offal is also processed." Later, when you want to eat, use a bamboo fish to blanch the vegetables, put them at the bottom of the bowl, blanch the beef slices and beef offal on top, and sprinkle chives and coriander. If you want to eat spicy, dip some chili noodles and peppercorn noodles that are fried and then ground, which are very fragrant. Because this kind of food was sold on the street in the past, many people sat and ate without a place to eat it, so they just found a place to sit down and eat with their feet crossed, so it was called stilt beef. ”

Chen Xin said very simply, but it is not simple to boil this pot of soup, which involves a lot of Chinese medicinal materials, this soup has the effect of preventing diseases and driving away cold, so it is deeply liked by the people in Meizhou. Chen Xin also went there to inspect and learned about the production method.

It's just that the conditions of the Zhang family are limited, and there are not all the medicinal materials she needs, only some commonly used, so this soup is still very lacking for her, but for others, the fragrance and umami of this soup have been
