In the early morning, the Lotus Village is full of clouds and mist, and the birds are singing happily in the branches, and the chickens and dogs are crowing. Qingli rode a motorcycle, with buns, fritters, more than a dozen catties of pork, pig bones and pigs in the water, and Qingxi sat on the small bench in front of the car.

"Sister, are you eating meat today?"

"Yes, today Brother Dongzi and Uncle the village chief came to help, and they made meat for others to eat!"

"Isn't that too much to eat? Is it that Xixi goes to help others, and other people's families also want to eat meat for Xixi? ”

"My sister bought a lot of meat and meat, and I also stewed bone broth for Xixi to drink, as for Xixi to help others, whether there is meat to eat, that sister doesn't know, but when Xixi can help others, she has to wait for Xixi to grow up."

"So what does it mean to grow up? Is it called growing up after reading? When will that grow up? ”

"It's okay to wait until you're as old as your brother."

"It's troublesome to grow up, you have to study, and when you grow up, you have to take a daughter-in-law. It's so tiring to think about. ”

Burst...... Hearing the serious tone, Qingli couldn't help laughing.

When they came to the backyard, Grandpa and they had already sorted out most of the wasteland behind them. "Uncles and aunts, hurry up and wash your hands and eat some steamed buns and fritters or something. The fruit is in a pot, and the big guys eat it. Thank you for your hard work, I'll cook later. ”

"Li girl, just get some food, folks in your hometown, save some money, Lele needs money to start school, we can eat enough."

"It's okay, Aunt Xiuying, I didn't buy anything, just buy some sewer and meat and bones, other vegetables are available, you come to help, you have to eat well." Isn't it embarrassing? ”

"Yes, my sister said that I will go to help you and give me meat."

"Hey, that's here to help, what if Brother Dongzi doesn't give you meat? Still need to help? ”

"Don't give meat? That's also a help for Brother Dongzi. I'm a good boy. He nodded as he spoke, his expression was serious, and everyone laughed.

When he came to the kitchen, Qingli put the cleaned pig's head and tail into the brine he had made last night, and put the pot on the coal stove to simmer slowly.

Then take out the pork, Qingli plans to make a tamale, and a big grass carp caught by grandpa, the middle piece is just steamed fish, and then a two-color fish head.

Add a few artichokes to the base of the tamale, the tamales are oily but not greasy, the sauce is prominent, salty and sweet, and the aftertaste is endless. Red and white, tender but not minced, rice flour oily, according to the taste can be salty, spicy, artichoke buried under the meat, after cooking, the oil of the pork belly is soaked into the artichoke, the soft glutinous of the artichoke and the soaking of the gravy, delicious people can't wait to swallow the tongue.

Qingli's hometown is very famous for steamed vegetables. "Steamed pork" was popular in Chuyang Prefecture in the old days (including Tianmen, Honghu, Qianjiang, and Xiantao was renamed Xiantao), known as the "hometown of steamed vegetables", and is one of the famous "three steamed dishes in Chuyang". And the story of "three steaming in Chuyang" is even more well-known. According to legend, the story of Chen Youliang, the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, is said to have originated in the late Yuan Dynasty. At that time, on the eve of Chen Youliang's expedition to Quarry Rock from his hometown of Chuyang, in order to comfort the soldiers and boost morale, he ordered the army to cook some hometown dishes according to the word "Zheng", which meant the victory of the expedition. The clever chef made steamed fish, steamed meat, and steamed balls according to the different meanings of the homophones of "Zheng" and "steaming". Chen Youliang's wife, Luo Che, took advantage of the opportunity to wash and cut off the ready-made green vegetables - Shang Hao, mixed it with rice noodles from steamed fish and meat, mixed it with seasonings, steamed it, and sent it to the table. Since then, the common people in this area have followed suit, and on festive days, they also use "three steamed" as a big dish to entertain guests, which has been passed down to this day.

And Qingli's mother's steamed vegetables are very famous in ten miles and eight townships, who invites Qingli's mother to go to the wine, relying on this craft, Qingli's mother has raised two college students, and Qingli's craftsmanship is true to her mother.

A lunch made everyone's mouths drool, "Li girl, I didn't know that your skills were so good before, Brother Su will be blessed in the future!" The granddaughter is filial, and the grandson will definitely be a good person in the future. Grandpa Zhang said.

"Grandpa Zhang, you have to eat more, drink more at night, I'll give you all the sappa and food!" After eating, Qingli came to the wasteland with a shovel, and the wasteland was all finished.

Small bamboos, weeds, and the like were cut down and piled aside, Qingli took a shovel in front of him to loosen the ground, and Qingxi picked up the rhizomes in the soil and threw them away.

"Sister, what are you doing here?" Qingle asked as he shoveled the soil.

"Planting flowers and plants, Qingle, what do you think about raising a dog?"

"Okay, what kind of dog do you have, do you want grandpa to ask, who has a puppy?"

"Don't let grandpa ask, I'll come back next time I go to the city to buy it."

"Sister, you're talking about pet dogs? Can you watch the house? ”

"Yes."

"Whew" Qingli let out a sigh, the sun was already in the west, Qingli straightened up and wiped her sweat, "Grandpa, I'm going to cook first, and you're almost resting." ”

"It's okay, if it's done today, you won't need to do it tomorrow." Coming to the corner, Qingxi sat on a small bench, holding a picture book and reading it seriously.

"Are you hungry? Go cook with your sister, or wait for grandpa here? ”

"Sister, Xixi will cook with you, and Xixi will show my sister the fire."

"We're awesome, we all know how to help my sister watch the fire, so wait for my sister to steam a minced meat egg cake for you, okay?"

"Okay, my sister is the best, I like my sister the most." Qingxi grinned happily.

In the evening, Qingli made a cold pork head meat, a braised pork tail, a big bowl of yam bone broth, a minced eggplant, a minced meat egg cake and a garlic water spinach with prepared chili oil.

The men were drinking, the women were eating, and Qingle and Qingxi were holding and gnawing on the big bones. chatted and talked about Brother Viagra, the son of the village chief's uncle, probably because Brother Viagra found a girlfriend, and he asked for three gold, a motorcycle, and a bride price of 20,000 yuan for household appliances when he got married.

In the countryside of 03 years, especially in the remote and backward Lotus Village, these are tantamount to sky-high prices. Qingli sighed deeply, they were all poor.

Looking at the kind grandfather, the two lovely younger brothers, and the simple blind date, Qingli is more determined to use space to lead the villagers to make a fortune.

"Uncle, how did you contract the land and mountains in the village?"

"Glass girl, do you want to contract? You can't contract the land in the village, and every family has just a little land, and they have to plant it themselves, although they don't have any money to make, they can't go hungry. There are only wastelands and barren mountains, what are you contracted to do? Although there are mushrooms and fungus on the mountain, it is not worth much? Uncle Village Chief said.

"Uncle, I want to contract the mountains and forests to grow fruit trees and flowers, aren't there a few mountains in our village that are not very high? That happened to be developed, you see, the river in front of our village, there are many fish and shrimp, pure wild, and now the lotus is beautiful, and there are many lobsters in the morning and evening. The wild water chestnut is sweet and delicious, the tender one is eaten raw, the old one is boiled and eaten, and the nutritional value is also high. Not to mention the screws, mussels, and loaches in the river. Fruit trees are planted on the mountain, which are beautiful when they bloom, and can be sold for money when the fruit is ripe, and can also be used to breed chickens, pigs, rabbits or something. The other hill is planted with all kinds of flowers and exotic plants, which will be beautiful and can be sold for money and attract tourists. When our village is done, someone will come to play. ”

"Hey, our village is quite troublesome! I heard Xiaoju say that last year, their boss took them to a farmhouse, but it was not as beautiful as ours, and it was still expensive. But we're too biased! Everyone said babbling.

"Don't worry, I'll check the information first in the next few days, and the village chief's uncle and grandfather will talk to you tomorrow about my contracting of the mountains and forests, and see what everyone says, and I will also go to the city to find someone to ask."

"Okay, I'll ask your grandfather tomorrow, and a few of you old ladies will go back and talk to the men in the family."

"Hey, I see, we'll talk when we get back."

Take care of the hygiene, Qingli came to the room with Xiong Tongzi and Hua Yueye in her arms, grandpa and they are all in the room, grandpa and Doudou are eating melon seeds, you and I are one, don't mention how good.

Seeing Qingli come in, Doudou squeaked, and spread out his paws to Qingli to see, it turned out that the melon seeds were gone, Qingli took out a pack of hazelnuts in the cabinet and put it on the table.

Qingle and Qingxi saw the flesh that Qingli was holding, and immediately ran over, "Sister, what is this?" One looks like a bear's paw, hairy. There is also a long flower-like flower. ”

Grandpa also came over to see when he heard it, "It's quite strange and attractive." Qingxi touched the bear boy and looked at Qingli.

"This bear-like paw is a bear boy, a genus of Sedum silver, native to Namibia, Africa, with a plant height of about 10~15 cm, and is a small succulent; The stems are erect and branched; The leaves are opposite, fleshy, emerald green, oblong, covered with white fluff, with reddish-brown protrusions at the tip, which looks like the paws of the newborn fluffy bear's feet, so the Japanese call it "bear boy"; The flowers are pinkish-orange, bell-shaped, and bloom at the top of the stem. Like a flower, it is a succulent plant belonging to the genus Rosaceae in the family Sedum, also known as a succulent plant, with two types: thick-leaved type and thin-leaved type. Do you like it? ”

"I like it, it's so cute, is it hard to raise my sister? Give it to me, and I'll take care of them. ”

"I want it too, I want it, I want this bear claw." Qingxi kept screaming.

"Okay for you to raise, in the future, my sister will plant many varieties of succulents, wait for me to write down the breeding method for you, you go to breed yourself, and the embarrassed bear boy will also be handed over to you." Okay, it's not early, it's time to go to bed. ”

In the silent night, only the insects chirping and the birds chirping and the rustle of the wind blowing through the leaves, Qingli wrote the plan, rubbed his sore wrist, and looked back to see Qingxi lying on the bed, with his little belly bulging with his feet facing the sky, and his saliva was flowing horizontally, and the little squirrel Doudou was sleeping on the pillow, with his big tail covering his body, he was cute and cute, and the two little guys' cute Qingli hearts were happy.
