Chapter 52 Clearing the Wasteland

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow finally melted, and the sun showed a smiling face, Yan Yan still didn't dare to go out, this snow was much colder than snow, and it was better for her to stay in the house.

Yan Qingshan and Yan Shaojie went to the village chief's house to talk about buying wasteland, and Yan Shaojie wanted to open the wasteland before he went to school, so that his father and mother would be more relaxed. The village chief was also happy, and immediately got things done, and Yan Qingshan called someone to prepare to come the next day to help clear the wasteland.

"Will you be working tomorrow?" Yan Yan asked.

"Yes, hurry up and open up the wasteland, and dig potatoes, other people's families will also start working, but you can't miss other people's affairs," Yan Qingshan's face was full of beautiful yearning for spring, probably the croppers are like this, that kind of nostalgia for the land is not something that Yan Yan, a person who has not had much contact with the land, can understand, but she is also looking forward to the arrival of spring.

Yan Qingshan and Yan Shaojie both went to ask someone to help, Yang Jiang father and son, Li Laosan father and son, Zhang Changhe father and son, Zhao Sishun, plus Yan Qingshan and Yan Shaojie, it was enough.

Yang and Yan Yan are responsible for cooking, Yan Yan has cooked so many people's meals except for the two times when he killed pigs, this is the first time, and he also has daughters-in-law and girls to help him on those two occasions.

"There are many people, you have to calm down, think about what to do first and then what to do, don't look back and panic that your meal is not yet done," Yang said, Yan Yan quickly took a deep breath, first thinking about how many people there were, what dishes to cook, and what materials there were, and gradually settled down.

"Mother, how many dishes should we cook?" Yan Yan felt that so many people should still cook more dishes, especially meat dishes.

"Don't do it all at once, you still have to do it tomorrow, and you can get what you want when you go back." It's still Yang's experience, otherwise Yan Yan would have made heavy dishes, which is not good-looking.

Yan Yan made roasted dried fish, the thick sauce was poured on the dried fish, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and the fragrance was overflowing; Pork stew with pickles, where the saltiness of pork and the spicy spice of pickles are blended; Stir-fried cabbage with bacon, the unique fragrance of bacon permeates the kitchen, and the oil flows to the cabbage, shiny; There is also salted egg steamed pork, the pork is minced and the salted duck egg protein is stirred evenly, add oil, flatten the egg yolk and put it on top to steam, and pour the sauce on it after it comes out of the pot, which is fragrant.

Yang also killed a chicken to cook, Yan Yanjian made ginger and scallion chicken, and boiled spinach, you have to have some green vegetables, otherwise it will be too tired.

When the dishes were ready, Yan Qingshan's unique voice sounded outside the courtyard, and Yang hurriedly greeted him, "I'm back, wash your hands and eat." ”

"Sit down and eat," Yan Qingshan beckoned everyone, Yan Yan hurriedly served the food out, and Yan Shaojie and Yang Shu also came to help.

"Sister Yan Yan, it's hard to cook," Yang Shu was finally able to meet Yan Yan, and hurriedly spoke and said hello.

"It's hard for you to work in the fields, hurry up and eat, don't be hungry," Yang Shu listened to Yan Yan's concerned words, stood there stunned and smirked, Yan Yan turned around and served the food.

"What are you laughing at? You can't be hungry, right? Yan Shaojie saw it and bumped Yang Shu's shoulder.

"Don't laugh at anything, let's eat," Poplar quickly came back to his senses and brought the food to the table.

Yang Shu ate a lot, he felt so happy, if he could eat the food cooked by Yan Yan every day, he would die happily. The tea and rice made by his sister Yan Yan is the most delicious, when can he eat it every day?

How can a man not drink when he eats together? Yang brought a jar of liquor and a jar of plum wine, and went back to the kitchen to eat with Yan Yan and the others. There was loud laughter from time to time in the house, especially the laughter of Yan Qingshan and Li Laosan, which was loud and bold.

"Mother, is there enough to eat?" Yan Yan thought that those men could eat so much, what if it wasn't enough?

"Almost, just join in the fun." Yang still doesn't know the temperament of these crop men.

Sure enough, Yan Shaojie and Yang Shu came in to look for food, "Mother, sister, do you still have anything to eat?" ”

"And the pot, how much rice is missing?" Yang hurriedly went to shovel the pot.

"It's almost, just the two of us eat slowly, not enough to eat," Yan Shaojie and Yang Shu were not good at grabbing food with their elders, so they went to the kitchen to find food by themselves.

"Mother, sprinkle some salt, brush with lard residue and roll it up to eat, it's delicious," Yan Yan felt that the pot should be eaten like this.

Yang did so, it was really fragrant, Yan Shaojie and Yang Shu rolled up and ate a piece, it was crispy and salty, salty and fragrant, it was really delicious. Yan Shaojie took the rest of the pot to the house, and everyone grabbed it again, and it was more fragrant when there were more people rushing to eat.

"Have you eaten yet?" Yang saw that it was almost there, so he went to the house and asked.

"Eat well, hard sister-in-law, it is estimated that it will be completed tomorrow," Li Laosan scratched his head, revealing a smile unique to a farmer.

"I'll see that Ming'er will be able to dig all the ponds and bring some food later," Yan Qingshan said and left.

After Yang and Yan Yan cleaned up, they had to prepare fruit cakes and sweet potato cakes, and also made potato rolls, fried shredded potatoes and marinated meat foam to be spicy and fragrant, and finished with a roll of pancakes made from the kang. Yan Yan saw that he was almost sent to the field, and he should be hungry after doing so much work.

"Sister Yan Yan, you're here!" Yang Shu saw the red cotton jacket from afar, and his heart jumped, and he didn't dare to scream until Yan Yan walked in.

"I happened to be hungry, so you sent it, I'm welcome," Li Laosan grabbed the potato rolls and ate them after washing his hands, and the others also grabbed the cakes and ate them.

"It smells so good! It's not that I said, the tea and rice made by Yan Yan are really delicious. Zhang Changhe couldn't help but praise.

"No, even her mother said it was delicious, and she loved to think about these things herself, but it made me addicted." Yan Qingshan's arrogant expression on his face, even Yan Shaojie nodded in agreement.

Yang Shu looked at Yan Yan while eating, but he was sad in his heart, Yan Yan's sister is so good, he is not worthy of her, what should I do?

Yan Yan is embarrassed, this is what she learned, although she is considered a founder here, but she is still weak in her heart, in case she meets another traverser one day, won't she lose face and lose her hair?

"Let's drink some hot tea," Yan Yan hurriedly changed the topic and poured hot tea for everyone to drink, everyone also hurriedly finished eating and drinking and went to work, Yan Yan cleaned up and went back.

"Shaojie, do you have lotus root seeds?" Poplar asked as he worked.

"My mother said she was going to look for it, what's wrong? You shouldn't have one at home, right? Yan Shaojie glanced at the poplar tree and said.

"I don't have it at home, my uncle's family has it, I asked him to go back, his lotus root is still good, didn't you eat it when you were a child?"

"I don't remember," Yan Shaojie thought about it, but didn't remember.

"What are you two boys talking about? Muttering, if it's a man, be louder! "Li Laosan is a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"Third uncle, you are confident, we can't compare to you," Yan Shaojie said with a smile, Yang Shu agreed, he was afraid that he would scare Yan Yan, she was such a petite person, as if she would float away when the wind blew.

"No, your third uncle didn't dare to speak loudly in front of his daughter-in-law, so he shouted at us," Zhang Changhe laughed out loud, and the others also laughed.
