Chapter 195: New Year's Preparations
"Xi'er, go get three catties of flour for Big Brother and some greens. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" the old man commanded softly.
Xi'er nodded, estimating that this was the time of the appointment, and the price she said was good, but in fact, she felt that it was a little low.
But these days, she also knows how tight food is.
Three catties of flour is already a lot, but you can give more vegetables, after all, they are grown from their own homes, and they are so much that they can't be eaten.
Xi'er and Zhang Yi went to the vegetable garden, picked two full baskets of various vegetables, and carried them out.
"Your greens are growing so well!" Big Brother couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed, there are still so many greens in winter, and it is estimated that the entire Huaibei will not be able to find a second one.
"Hehe, our children are doing a good job in this matter." Old Man Tian was very modest, but the cracked corners of his mouth revealed a good mood.
Xi'er went into the house again and weighed three catties of flour.
"This is what I promised you at the beginning, and it will be better to have a good year if you keep it." The old man handed the flour to Big Brother, and then pointed to the two baskets of vegetables behind him.
"It's all for us?" The young posterity still can't believe it.
"I can't help it, one pound of flour that was promised at the beginning, but today I gave three pounds is still enough. How can you still ask for such expensive vegetables? "Big Brother was a little scared.
"We really have a lot of greens in our house, otherwise I wouldn't have a swollen face and become fat. Besides, I really like the handiwork you make, and I don't know how much grandpa customized with you. If you want, you can send some more, give money or food. "Xi'er is very sincere, and she really loves these handmade things.
In the future, it will become more and more rare.
"Your grandfather originally came to customize a bamboo bed, bamboo chairs and some daily necessities, and it is two sets, I am afraid that you will not be able to use it. It's really hard for you to buy this in the winter, so you really don't have to give so much. "Big Brother is still pushing.
"It's all taken out, and if you can't finish it, it's frozen, and then you have to throw it away." Zhang Yi's words made the father and son completely stunned.
Such a good dish is going to be thrown away?
"I want it, it's a shame to lose it." The old man looked at the two baskets of vegetables and rubbed his hands, always feeling that the Tian family had broken the bank.
"Dad, since it's someone's kindness, let's accept it, right? Next time we make something, do a lot of snacks. The young junior picked up the basket and comforted.
"Ah~ okay." This is a really interesting father and son.
"Then we'll go back first, and I'll send you the basket in two days, and I haven't brought some things at home, so I'm worried that you won't accept it." Big Brother is smiling happily because this winter can finally get through it.
"Okay, anyway, I don't need this thing for the time being, I will load the grain during the autumn harvest." Old Man Tian waved his hand and comforted.
Seeing off the father and son, Xi'er whispered, "I put ten eggs in the basket." ”
"You girl, this father and son are very good, I guess I always think about owe us a favor." The old man also sighed, no one has had a good time these days.
Wasn't the former self almost cornered?
The ups and downs of life, only I really know in my heart, I hope he can survive this catastrophe, and the future will get better and better.
Within your ability, you can help a little.
It's better to live and owe favors than to starve to death with your head held high.
"We didn't have anything in our house, but they just happened to have the craft, so they simply bought a set of them at home. I reckon that they need more food than money. Xi'er is still rummaging through this pile of bamboo products, and she can't put it down.
"Well, I think his craftsmanship is really good, and now there are a few benches in addition to the table. If you like it, buy a set of bamboo products, mainly to see if he can make it? The old man also thinks that his granddaughter's idea is good.
"Well, Zhang Yi, do you want it?" Xi'er turned her head and asked Zhang Yi.
"Yes, we don't have anything at home." Zhang Yi replied categorically, feeling that as long as Xi'er liked it, he subconsciously wanted to go home.
"Grandpa, make you a deck chair again, and you can lie in the yard in the sun and read a book in the spring." When Xi'er thought of that picture, she thought it was funny.
"Do you want another pipe?" Old Man Tian himself couldn't hold back his laughter at first.
Hahaha, Xi'er remembered the leisurely old man's appearance, but it should be placed in the courtyard, not the front yard in the countryside.
Because the old grandfathers in the countryside are very diligent!
Who will have this kung fu to bask in the sun?
It's better to grow two vegetables, and it's the master's job to hold a pipe and read a book.
"I'm going to clean up the pigsty, you clean up slowly, these are two sets, Zhang Yi will carry one back." After saying that, he left with a roar.
I was just helping the piglets change the grass, which was dried on a hot day.
In winter, it is too cold for the pigs to roast the fire, so they can only put some hay so that they will not freeze when they sleep at night.
Pig raising is indeed a delicate job, and Xi'er has always been just a technical guide.
In practice, they are all Zhang Qing, Tian Yuliang and his wife, plus the old man.
Occasionally, Zhang Yi and Tian Cheng would be dragged to work and get busy, and the kitchen was once again handed over to Xi'er.
Gu Liya was recalled by a letter from her father, as if she was participating in some kind of training, and she will not come back for the Chinese New Year this year.
Gu Liya left, and Li Haipeng didn't have the heart to stay here, so he followed back to Shanghai.
Dong Liang persisted for a few days and left.
Therefore, this year's Spring Festival is the two Zhangtian families, but they are still preparing to be lively.
The mold on the tofu has finally grown, and Xi'er is preparing to prepare more carefully this year, and she has to get more.
The most important thing is to put more chili peppers, and the taste of this group of people in the family is getting heavier and heavier.
She took out the red pepper that had been dried in the summer, let Li Ying fry it crispy, grind it into powder, put it in a large basin, and pour it with salt.
Then fry the fish maw until fragrant, also grind it into the end, and add it.
Then the tofu is dipped in powder from the basin on all six sides, and then stacked into the pottery layer by layer and sealed.
After half a month, you can open it and eat it.
Spicy and delicious, in the years when there are no vegetables, a small piece of stinky tofu can eat a bowl of rice.
Therefore, every month of wax, if there are soybeans in every household, they will beat tofu and stinky tofu.
When autumn and yellow are not picked, it is a dish when it is taken out.
The days slowly slipped to the end of the lunar month, and Li Ying was even busier.
Except for the twenty little pigs every day, no, they are no longer piglets now.
She also has to prepare for the New Year, stir-fried peanuts, roasted sweet potato chips......
Although it is very luxurious in Gaoshizhuang, Li Ying has made up her mind to have a prosperous year this year.
Earlier, she asked Xi'er to dry the washed red taro, then concoct it into sheets, dry it and put it away.
At this time, take it out, put it in a pot with fine sand and stir-fry until it is golden brown, and when the surface of the red taro chips bubbles, it means that it is fried.
This red taro chip is fragrant, sweet and crunchy, and it is a favorite of children!
