Autumn is the season of harvest, but also the season of storage. The winter in Beizhen Mansion www.biquge.info is long and cold, and both humans and animals must prepare plenty of food for this long winter.

The reason why Xia Zhi bought so many fish at one time was, of course, because she and the little black fish liked to eat fish very much, and on the other hand, it was also out of economic considerations. Now the fish is fat and delicious, and the price is relatively cheap, especially for her kind of large purchases, the price can be said to be very cost-effective.

The fish are peeled and washed and marinated with salt and various spices. The simplest one is preserved fish, which is salted and dried, placed in a cool and dry place, and eaten as you go. The bad fish is slightly more troublesome, and the summer solstice makes two kinds, one is sake lees and the other is oil lees.

Put the fish in a jar with wine or oil and keep it secret, and after a while you can eat it. When you eat it, as long as you take it out and steam it, it will be very crispy and delicious. The breakfast of the Zhuang family is generally relatively simple, and the steamed porridge with a plate of bad fish is quite perfect.

Xia Zhi said the method and made a demonstration, and Mrs. Xia was the first to get started. Cooking is a recipe for everything. Mrs. Xia was very busy with her work, because she saw the joyful and expectant eyes of her youngest son and little grandchildren.

"It's all cats. Mrs. Xia was busy with her work, and she smiled and counted.

She knows who loves fish the most in the family.

In addition to preserved fish and bad fish, a lot of dried vegetables are also prepared on the summer solstice. There are no fresh vegetables to eat in the winter in Buddentown, and you don't want to eat only Chinese cabbage, radishes and potatoes in the summer solstice. The autumn harvest is abundant, and she has not let go of any vegetables that can be made into dried vegetables and stored.

Although Mrs. Xia also cooks some dried vegetables every year, she does not have as many tricks as the summer solstice. She could only admire Xia Zhi's ingenuity.

The vegetable cellar that was supposed to be dug at the beginning of the winter cabbage harvest was simply dug up ahead of schedule this year. This kind of vegetable cellar is generally one-time, and when the Chinese cabbage is eaten in the spring of the next year, the vegetable cellar will be filled up, and vegetables will still be planted on it. However, Xia Solstice proposed to make the vegetable cellar permanent.

Digging deep into the ground and sealing well, such a vegetable cellar can be used as a refrigerator freezer to a certain extent, but to a certain extent, it can still be used as a refrigerator to keep food fresh for as long as possible.

The uncle of the Chen family and his two sons are here, but they have helped a lot. Because they tend to the fruit trees, every family has a cellar where the fruit is stored, which can be used permanently and dug for generations.

With the help of the uncle of the Chen family, Xia Zhi bought materials again, hired helpers, and dug vegetable cellars in the front and back yards in two or three days.

The temperature of this kind of vegetable cellar is relatively constant, and the effect of freshness is very good.

The vegetable cellar was dug up, and the first batch to be sent down were pumpkins and winter melons. Pumpkins are a good thing, plant one or two, and when they are harvested in the fall, the whole family will not be able to eat them. The pumpkins harvested every year are left like that, and they freeze in winter, which is a big waste, not to mention, there is still one food missing from the table.

This year, put these pumpkins and winter melons in the vegetable cellar and store them, and you can probably return to the beginning of spring next year. Xia Zhi made pumpkin pie once, and the Xia family loved to eat it both adults and children.

The uncle of the Chen family left with the vegetable cellar that his two sons helped to dig, and when he left, he took a jar of bad fish and a few wax moons sent by Xia Zhi. Witnessing the process of pickling these heavy rains on the summer solstice, the uncle of the Chen family said that everyone should go back and taste it, and if this bad fish is delicious, they should also prepare some.

Xia Xiucai stayed at home for a few days, and also packed his luggage and prepared to return to Fucheng. Except for Xia Xiucai's meal in the backyard on the day of the holiday, the rest of the days are eaten at home.

Tian cooks for Xia Xiucai very carefully and willingly. Xia Zhi saw with his own eyes that these two people were in one place every day, although they were a lot older, they still had a greasy and crooked meaning.

Xia Xiu has always been like this, and this time Tian didn't always put on a high-minded appearance.

Once in a while, Xia Zhi heard Tian talking to Xia Xiucai.

Tian wanted to go to Fucheng with Xia Xiucai, saying that he could take care of Xia Xiucai's diet and daily life.

"You see, too, where in this house there is still a place for me to speak. You're all like this, you're not here, you think, what would that be like?"

Tian's meaning is that without Xia Xiucai by her side, she has suffered a lot of grievances at home, so she has to go to live in Fucheng with Xia Xiucai.

Most of the so-called grievances were given by the summer solstice. Tian's is another black slap on the summer solstice.

If Tian and Xia Xiucai go to Fucheng...... , Xia Zhi sat down and thought about it for a while, and decided: let her go.

But when Xia Xiucai returned to Fucheng, he didn't take the Tian family with him. According to the news from Xiao Shu'er, Xia Xiucai either did not agree to take the Tian family into the city, or said that his conditions in the academy were very simple now, and he had to go back to Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, and when he was ready, he would take the Tian family into the city.

I don't know if they thought about it or not, whether it was appropriate to leave a few children at home like this. Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er will go to a private school next year, and Xia Zhi is only twelve years old, and they all need to be taken care of by their parents.

However, the summer solstice doesn't matter. Tian is not in this family, and their lives are the same.

The joyful and busy autumn, the days fly by, and in the blink of an eye, it has entered September.

In September in Beizhen Province, the chill in the air is already more obvious. Everyone in the Xia family put on their jackets early. Mrs. Xia has already begun to make cotton clothes and shoes for everyone.

This day is a big set in Linshui Town, and the summer solstice is still with everyone to come to the market to stall. When she went to the grocery store and sold all the purses in her hand, and bought all the things everyone wanted, Xia Zhi came out of the grocery store, turned the corner, and saw Erya talking to someone.

The man was dressed as a farmer, carrying a basket behind his back, and was obviously here to catch the market.

Xia Solstice did not take a detour to avoid Erya, but walked over as usual. When I got closer, I could hear Erya talking to the man. However, Erya's voice was relatively low, and the speed of speech was relatively urgent.

As Erya spoke, she suddenly turned her head and saw the summer solstice. Erya seemed to be frightened, and immediately stopped talking.

"Summer ...... Summer Solstice ......"

"Sister Erya. Xia Zhi greeted Erya, "What are you doing?" Xia Zhi also glanced at the farmer, a typical farmer, but she didn't know it.

"Didn't do anything. Er Ya hurriedly said, "When you meet someone in our tunzi, say two words, just say two words." As if worried that Xia Zhi would continue to ask, Erya hurriedly pushed the person away, "My sister is waiting for a reply." Don't tell anyone about it. ”

The man said yes, turned and left.

As the saying goes, Qin Hui also has a few good friends. Old man Tian is not popular in the backing mountain, and he lives behind closed doors, but there are also one or two families who are good friends. Thinking about it, this person just now is one of them, who often rushes to the market, and can send letters to both the old man Tian and the big girl.

However, what kind of letter did Erya bring to her family, and she was so mysterious and secretive, obviously she didn't want her to know.

The eldest girl and the second girl are still guarding against her!
