After pestering Yao Hong for a long time, saying all the good things, and making countless promises, Yao Hong finally relented. Yao Huang and Yao Qing cheered and ran happily, and before going out, the two of them also took away the sleepy-eyed little bun.

Erhuzi and a group of people were already waiting at the entrance of the village, a total of seven or eight boys, Sister Zhang Qiao and Xing'er waved happily after seeing Yao Huang.

Yao Huang walked up to everyone and asked, "Have you picked croton?" ”

The children in the village are all using croton to medicate fish, croton is not toxic, although it can make people diarrhea, but it also has medicinal value. When it is put into the water, it does not pollute the environment, and when it is washed away by the current, the effect on the human body disappears. There is no shortage of croton trees on Luodan Mountain, at this time, the croton is only one centimeter in diameter, and the medicinal properties are not strong, which is suitable for medicinal fish.

"Picked, picked, ground into pulp." Sister Zhang Qiao flashed to the side, revealing a wooden barrel containing pulped croton.

"Let's go, Yaoyu goes!" Yao Qing waved his hand, looking like a boss. Yao Huang couldn't help but laugh, but maybe the boys were really convinced by Yao Qing, and they didn't refute it at all, and hugged him in the middle, which really looked like a big brother.

The group walked to the river outside the village, the water of the river came from the inside of the Luo Dan Mountain, it was not very deep, and the deepest part was no more than a woman's neck. The group walked upstream, found a shallower section, blocked the drinking road with stones and sand, and sprinkled the croton milk.

The amount of croton milk is small for a river, but just right for the fish in the river. The medicinal effect of croton will make it difficult for the fish to breathe, and they can only float to the surface, dizzy, and easy to catch. The friends went into battle with their hands, spoons, and dustpans, and after a while, they fished out two buckets of fish. The boys put the small fish back into the river, leaving only the big ones. Yao Huang took Xiao Ke, Sister Zhang Qiao, and Xing'er back from picking dry branches, and lit a fire on the shore. The boys carried one of the buckets of fish to the river, cut open the belly of the fish with a sharp stone, entrailed it, washed it, and strung it with a trimmed dead branch.

Sister Qiao and Xing'er took out salt from their arms and sprinkled it evenly on the fish, and the friends each took a fish and stretched it out on the fire to roast it. Everyone has experience in grilling fish, and they will never burn the fish. After a while, the fish was grilled golden and fragrant. The boys ate with their mouths full of oil, and their faces were covered with grease and black ash. Sister Qiao and Xing'er ate a lot, but their hands were full of oil.

Yao Huang carefully picked out the fish bones for Xiao Ke, and watched the little guy eat with two bulging cheeks, with a satisfied look, Yao Huang was cute. Oops, my little family is cute.

"Erya, Chrysanthemum went to your house again?" Sister Zhang Qiao asked while eating fish.

Yao Huang said "ah", "Go and ask my sister for advice on how to embroider purses." ”

Apricot pouted, "Cut." Who doesn't know that she went to your house to hook up with a man? Fortunately, Chun Yu Gongzi has a high vision and looks down on her. ”

"Maybe it's really about making purses?" Sister Zhang Qiao said, "Don't forget, it's the Qixi Festival in a few days." ”

"She wants to give a purse to Chun Yu Gongzi? Chun Yu Gongzi won't accept it, right? ”

"Definitely not." Yao Huangdao, "Brother Chunyu already has a fiancée, and she is the daughter of the family. ”

"Hehe," Xing'er laughed mockingly, "Chrysanthemum doesn't deserve to lift shoes for other young ladies." ”

"It's a pity that Chrysanthemum can't see the difference between herself and Chun Yu Gongzi." Sister Zhang Qiao said, "My mother said that Chrysanthemum learned from Qingfei's sister-in-law, so I don't want to ignore the two of them in the future, so as not to learn badly." ”

"That's what my mother said to me." Apricot said.

Yao Huang asked suspiciously, "Does Aunt Xiangzi know the attitude of the ladies of the Dao Dao?" ”

"Naturally, I know the way."

"Then she doesn't care about a tube of chrysanthemums?"

"Chrysanthemum doesn't listen to her at all." Sister Zhang Qiao said, "Aunt Xiangzi is not Chrysanthemum's mother, and her relationship with her is not very good, so she is too lazy to care about Chrysanthemum." ”

"If Chrysanthemum's own mother and child, she wouldn't be what she is now, right?"

"That's not necessarily, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change." Apricot snorted.

"There is going to be a lantern festival in the city during the Qixi Festival this year, will you go and see it?" didn't want to talk about the topic of chrysanthemums, so Yao Huang changed the topic.

"Really? I'm going. Sister Zhang Qiao said happily.

"I'll go too. Erya, when the time comes, let's go together. Call Xiaohong and Amei again. Apricot said.

"Yes." Yao Huang nodded, "My brother-in-law's health is better, and this year he can take his sister and Aqing Xiaoke to the city to see the lanterns." I can play with you guys. ”

In the past two years, because of the relationship between Wenren and Qianye, Yao Huang had to stay at home to take care of his younger brother and nephew, and did not spend Qixi with Xing'er and them.

"Great." Sister Qiao and Xing'er said happily.

The Qixi Festival, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet every year. In ancient times, the fate of women could only be married to women, husbands and children, so many women believed in the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and hoped to take the Weaver Girl as an example. Therefore, every Qixi Festival, they will worship the Weaver Girl, praying that they can be ingenious and obtain a happy marriage. This is where the name "Qiqiao" comes from. Women will also tie the color building, prepare thin needles made of brass, and thread the needles with five-colored thin threads to the moon and wind, and over time, Qixi Festival has also become the "Daughter's Day". During the begging festival, girls will boldly express their hearts to the man they like, they will sew purses and give them to the man, if the man accepts, it means that she accepts the woman's affection. As far as Yao Huang knew, several of her friends had secretly made purses and were ready to give them to their favorite boys on Qixi Festival - ancient girls were so precocious!

A few days before the Qixi Festival, the village chief found Yao's family and said that the field was vacant, and everyone was going to plant peanuts, and asked Yao Huang and Yao Hong to give guidance to everyone. Yao Hong naturally nodded in agreement. When the villagers saw that the Yao family had also planted peanuts on two acres of newly opened thin fields, the smart ones also opened some fields in their own yards, and the original fields were planted with radishes and cabbage. Radish and cabbage are vegetables that are easy to preserve and are the most commonly eaten vegetables in winter. Now the vegetable seeds are sprinkled into the field, the seeds germinate, and they are watered irregularly. When the cabbage and radish grow more than ten centimeters long, they should be scattered and pulled out the cabbage that grew irregularly and crowded together. Plant cabbage on the ground where there are no trees, and make them look regular. Among them, the leaves of the Chinese cabbage will be gathered into a ball one by one when they grow up, and at this time it should be tied up with a straw rope to avoid frost and snow when the leaves are frozen and frozen.

All the people in the village are experts in farm work, although it is the first time to plant peanuts, but when the Yao family planted peanuts, the villagers have visited the whole process, and there is no big problem with planting them at this time. The villagers were very grateful to the two sisters and sent their own food to Yao's family: vegetables, eggs, meat......

The amount of meat is the smallest, and the countrymen do not eat meat a few times a year. Therefore, the meat sent to Yao's family only adds up to four or five catties. Yao Hong boiled the fat into lard, and the remaining lean meat was fried on two plates, and the family ate it for two days.

"What about vegetables and eggs?" Yao Hong was at a loss in the face of a pile of food. Vegetables can be dried in the sun, but eggs are not easy to handle and can spoil easily.

"Make a chowder." Yao Qingdao.

Chowder is a typical farmhouse dish in which vegetables and fruits such as peppers, cowpeas, eggplants, and bitter gourd are cut into small strips, dried in the sun, and mixed with salt and stored in jars. When it's time to eat, grab a little bit out of the jar, fry it in lard or mix it with sesame oil, and go with rice.

"Okay." Yao Hong nodded, Yao Qing loves to eat chowder, and others also like to eat it.

"It's good to make the eggs and duck sheets into salted eggs and preserved eggs." Seeing Yao Hong's embarrassed frown, Yao Huang also made suggestions.

"What are preserved eggs?" Chun Yu Jinfeng asked curiously, he had eaten salted eggs, but he had never heard of preserved eggs.

"Preserved eggs are a ...... of processed egg foods"

"Of course, we know that the preserved egg is an egg processed food, but we want to know what it looks like. Is it delicious? ”

"If you don't interject, I'll get to those two points......"

Chun Yu Jinfeng hurriedly covered his mouth with a fan, looked at Yao Huang with his eyes, and motioned with his eyes, "Miss, please speak."

Yao Huang was satisfied, and said, "Preserved eggs are also called Songhua eggs or Junzi eggs, because after the case of preserved eggs is opened, the inside is dark and bright, and the egg white is covered with white and yellow patterns, very similar to the shape of pine needles. The pine tree is one of the four gentlemen, and the people of Hanlin call the preserved eggs the gentleman's eggs. Songhua eggs are fresh and smooth, taste good, and have certain medical effects, which can diarrhea heat, sober up, go to large intestine fire, and treat diarrhea. ”

"So good?" Chun Yu Jinfeng's eyes rolled, and he had the idea of preserved eggs, not to mention anything else, as long as the name of the gentleman's egg was removed, he could attract people from all over the world to earn money and buy it.

"Second sister, is the production process of this gentleman's egg complicated?"

Yao Huang smiled, seeing through Chun Yu Jinfeng's thoughts at a glance, "It's not complicated." But ......"

"But what?"

"Brother Chun Yu wants to take over this business, right?"

"The second sister knows my heart, as long as you tell me the method of production, I will give you three points of profit."

"It's refreshing to talk to smart people, but I have one more condition."

"On what terms?" Chun Yu Jinfeng asked.

"I hope that the villagers of Qingshui Village will make preserved eggs and buy and sell them at Chunyu's family." The villagers helped the Yao family for free when they were down, and now that the Yao family is living well, Yao Huang also hopes to help the villagers. Although planting peanuts has increased the income of the villagers, planting peanuts does not have too much technical content, as long as there are peanut seeds, anyone can plant them. Yao Huang has reason to suspect that Baiweiju has taken out some peanuts to try to grow in other places. Within two years, peanuts were planted in other villages and other areas. The price of peanuts will fall, and the income of the villagers in Qingshui Village will also fall, so it is better to pass on the practice of preserved eggs to everyone, so that everyone can add another income.
