Chapter 11: Festivals

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Niu went home early. By the way, I will also bring King Kong back. Ever since I saw the sow in the backyard pigsty that day, I've been restless every day. I always want to run to the village. If it weren't for the "little dots" to watch, I was afraid that I would disappear when no one was around. Although King Kong was very obedient, Zhang Niu still didn't worry about it running into the village. I'm afraid that when I see another sow, a bully will be forced to bow later, and it will be over.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Reunion Festival, is a reunion, and the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years seems to have been spent in school. This year, we can get together.

Zhang Niu's task today is to take the snail the day before yesterday. Clean it up and put it in the pan to fry at night. Two days of water changes. Put vegetable oil. At first glance, the bucket is very clear now. There was no more mixed candle that appeared after a while, and he took out a rice basket and poured it into the basket. I went into the house and got a bench, and sat down with a vise in the front yard. Everyone in the village has to cut off the screw tail more than a little bit. Stir-fry like this. In order to absorb the taste, I remembered a time when I fried snails at a night food stall in the city, and I was depressed! The taste is OK, but there are too few screw tail pliers. I can't suck it out. In the end, only a toothpick can be used...... Eating snails is better than sucking words...... People with good skills, you just ate the first one, and the second one has already taken your mouth......

Today, Zhang Niu used a vice, which was specially bought from the grocery store in the village. I used to use fire tongs to clamp it. That's a lot slower than a turtle crawling. Nowadays, there are still many people who like to use fire tongs. After all, it's all a personal favorite......

After half an hour of busy work, I finally finished the work. On the ground is a small pile of snail tails...... I also picked a few Chaotian peppers. One of the hottest chili peppers in the village. Much spicier than any green pepper, use this Chaotian pepper. Stir-fried snails. , I can't eat the earthy taste. There is only a strong spicy taste. In the kitchen, you can taste a spicy taste. Nose rush. Some people like to pick the pepper after it is ripe. Dry and sauté before putting it in a bottle. Put one layer and pour a layer of oil. , and then stomp firmly with chopsticks. All the way to the mouth of the bottle. I put the airtight lid of the lid and put it on for a month. It's ready to eat. In winter, it warms the stomach the most.

Zhang Niu can't stir-fry other dishes. But when it comes to fried snails, I still feel good about the craftsmanship. Heat the pot. The oil should be more than that. Wait for the oil to heat up. Put some chili peppers in and stir-fry them first. Then pour the snails into the pot...... In this way, the spicy flavor can be quickly absorbed. Stir-fry a few times. After the snail is ripe, add spices and salt. Cooking wine, continue to simmer for about ten minutes before it comes out of the pot. The snail oil is shiny.

In the evening, the dining table was deliberately moved to the front yard. You can eat and watch the moon at the same time. It was already dark at seven o'clock in the evening in the countryside. Every household already has a lamp in their hands.

There was a light breeze at night. Take away a little heat...... The dishes in the evening were plentiful...... There is a large plate of fried snails in the middle. Braised pork next to it. Stir-fried beans. Taro plum vegetables. Also a nori soup. Before the little sister could start eating, she picked up the snail and sucked it. It just so happens that there is still some rice wine made at home from years ago. Scoop a bowl in a large vat with a wine spoon. Decorate it yourself. I don't like to drink rice wine, but my father likes it very much......

To eat snails, you need to have a little skill, the snail should put the tail of the snail into the mouth with your index finger and thumb, and suck it inside, and what comes out is a spicy juice. By the way, suck and pull hard. This is called "wanting to capture the old indulgence" and then turn the snail around. Put your head in your mouth and suck it in. The whole snail meat is imported...... Therefore, when you clamp the screw, you have to clamp off the tail to have more benefits...... Fine taste...... Fragrant and spicy is really delicious...... It's not in vain to work for that long time.

Father drank rice wine, he didn't like to eat much, usually Zhang Niu, Xiaomei, and Mother were the three. The little sister eats snails. It's all oily on my face. It's all a little flower face.

And leftover snail shells. It's something that ducks like to eat very much, and if it's sprinkled on the ground, the ducks will come over. Grab the momentum...... Ducks are not afraid of snails that are big. Will it get stuck......

Zhang Niu drank rice wine and opened a conversation with his father.

"Dad, I want to raise some more ducks in the pond. You say it won't work. He said to his father, who was still taking a sip.

"Raise ducks, okay, do you plan to raise the kind of egg-laying ducks, or big white ducks and ducks, it seems that the ducklings now have to have more than one piece.

"Raise a big white duck. The cycle is short, mainly, there is no fertilizer in the pond. The water is clear, raise some points into it. Fish grow up well...... Let's raise a duck of about 200 if you don't have much.

"In the future, you can make your own decisions about small things! You're all big. It's time to learn how to plan for yourself...... Old. As soon as I drank some wine, I was dazed...... and after that, I got up and went back to the house......

I ate a lot at night, and Zhang Niu didn't go back to the mountain, so he slept at home.

The next day. Early in the morning, I rushed to the county seat to buy some ducklings and came back...... It's still relatively early to get to the county seat. It was easy to buy ducklings in the market, three for one piece, and for two hundred and sixty dollars, there were two large cages of ducklings. Throw it straight into space when no one is around. The ducklings out of the cage rushed towards the pond......

The time was early, and Zhang Niu was going to ask how to sell the current sows. I'm going to buy it for a head or two...... Let's take care of it first, and see if there is any money.

There are more people who buy piglets. Most of them come from the countryside, and they are bustling and lively. Been looking for a long time. There were only a few sows in a corner. Pure black large sows. I looked at a few sows and asked. The price is too expensive, and not the average expensive. , Zhang Niu, who wanted to buy it, was also frightened by such a price. It's better to buy a gilt next time. Then feed yourself with space water and soil food, and you should be able to grow quickly! With this thought, I am not ready to look at other sows. Go straight out the door.

At the hardware store, I bought a few pounds of iron nails. I'm going to go back and make some wooden fences to fence off the front yard first...... It doesn't look empty now. It doesn't look like a yard at all. Even though the saplings are planted, they still look ......

After that, I went to the Ministry of Fisheries and asked if there were snail seedlings for sale. He wanted to put some in his own pond as well...... In this way, next time, I will directly touch the snails in the pond, and I don't have to go anywhere else...... It's a pity...... There is no sale in the county here. Since there is no one, I have to touch some by myself at that time. Leave it in your own space for a few days. It is estimated that it should be able to lay a lot of small snails. When I thought of such a good way to use, I came up with it myself. Zhang Niu got up in the mix.

I was just about to get up and go back to the village, and I saw Zhang Ting in front of the city gate from a distance. And she also saw Zhang Niu here at this time.

"You should go up and talk about that." Today, Zhang Ting is wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. It's particularly moving.

One more to. Ask for a referral ticket. Collect it together, cheer up, chase the paradise ranch in front of you, thank you
