Chapter 135: Short
"Brother, why do you eat tofu again, I've been eating tofu for a long time, I don't want to eat tofu, I want to eat braised pork." Fang Yuan looked at the dishes on this table, he was unhappy, and he had eaten tofu for almost a month.
"Little girl, you are still too unpalatable to eat tofu, have you forgotten that you were hungry before? If you want to eat braised pork, you have to wait until the pig grows up to have braised pork to eat. "Fang Jing really wants to kill this little girl, she didn't learn well at a young age, and she learned to be a picky eater.
The three of Yu's grandmothers looked at Fang Jingxun Fang Yuan, a little unclear why, such a good meal, can also be picky eater, this has never been seen in the Zhuang family, everyone has no food in their stomachs, how can there be a picky eater, if you really don't eat, then it is estimated that you will be hungry.
"Hmph, I'm going to eat braised pork." The little girl bit a piece of tofu and rolled her eyes at Fang Jing.
"Let's eat, let's feel free." Fang Jing shouted to Grandma for them to eat, but she just ignored Fang Yuan's little girl.
"Mother, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, let's eat." Zhang Xiaoxia put a piece of meat in a bowl for her mother, and then ate it herself.
Yu's grandmother and the three of them picked up chopsticks to eat, and the dishes were only for green vegetables and tofu, and the two meaty dishes were basically not eaten together, not because they were afraid that there would not be enough vegetables, but because they were afraid that they would not be able to eat the gruel at home in the future.
"Grandma, you eat with the vegetables, don't always pick up the rice, this dish is fried and eaten." Fang Jing was also a little embarrassed to look at the three of them like this, feeling like she was not good to the guests.
"Mother, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, eat this meat dish, the vegetables are fried a lot, don't be afraid of running out." Zhang Xiaoxia also saw Fang Jing speak, and was busy putting a lot of meat and vegetables in each bowl of her mother's family.
The three of Yu's grandmothers also hurriedly responded, and took a big bite of the rice into their mouths, mainly because they were hungry, but in fact, they had to have rice and vegetables, and they could eat so sweetly, not to mention that the taste of today's food was so good.
"Brother, I want to drink fruit stuffing." The little girl was not interested in tofu, so she stopped eating half a bowl of rice and yelled for fruit stuffing.
"After eating the rice, my brother will give you fruit brew to drink, if you don't finish this bowl of rice, don't think about drinking fruit brew." Fang Jing didn't want to get used to her for this, otherwise what would happen in the future.
"Hmph." The little girl was really unhappy, so she went to the small table to eat with her friends with her rice bowl, Fang Jing ignored her, and didn't want to care about her during meal time.
After the family finished eating, Zhang Xiaoxia was about to clean up the dishes, and Duan Shufen and Yu Jiao also helped clean up, but they were too full, but Zhang Xiaoxia kept them to sit and rest.
"Xiaoxia, do you usually eat these meals?" Yu Jiao finally got up and accompanied Zhang Xiaoxia to the ditch to wash the dishes and chopsticks.
"Second sister-in-law, usually we eat like this, eat noodles and soup cakes for breakfast, cook and stir-fry for dinner, I will cook breakfast, dinner is made by Jing Wazi, my cooking skills are not as good as Jing Wazi, so the little dolls don't like to eat, but the food made by Jing Wazi is delicious, and the little dolls at home rush to eat it every day." Zhang Xiaoxia responded to Yu Jiao truthfully, while busy with the work at hand.
"Every day is a big white rice and meat dish? Have so much grain and copper money at home to buy meat? Yu Jiao was very envious of Fang Jing's family in her heart.
"Yes, it's white rice every day, and the meat and dishes depend on the situation, but basically you can eat some every day, Jing Wazi has the ability, the money in the family is earned by Jing Wazi, and the meat at home is all wild game hunted by Jing Wazi, when you go back in a few days, bring some back, there is quite a lot of bacon at home, enough to eat." Zhang Xiaoxia replied casually.
Yu Jiao is not only envious of Fang Jing's family's life, but also full of envy, she has a niece in her family, who is younger than Fang Jing, if she marries her niece to Fang Jing's family, won't she be able to live such a good life?
"Xiaoxia, did the Fang family say mother-in-law? Looking at it, it should almost be said that it is a mother-in-law, right? Yu Jiao asked Zhang Xiaoxia with some excitement.
"Second sister-in-law, this, Jing Wazi once said that his marriage will not be talked about until he is twenty-five years old, and he will have to wait until Xiao Tuanzi gets married, and he also said that the marriage is up to him, and my husband and I want to help him find a good lady, but Jing Wazi said that he should not mention this matter again, and we dare not mention it." Zhang Xiaoxia had also mentioned to Fang Jing in her heart that she would be a good mother-in-law, but Fang Jing turned her face on the spot and broke up unhappily, and from that time on, Zhang Xiaoxia and his wife never dared to mention it again.
"That's not right, it's twenty-five by then, but it's not good to talk about the mother-in-law, I have to hurry up and talk about this, I look at the Fang family's eldest man is also seventeen or eighteen, at this time it's just to say the mother-in-law." Yu Jiao was unwilling, and continued to persuade Zhang Xiaoxia.
"Second sister-in-law, Jing Wazi is not yet sixteen this year, it looks like seventeen or eighteen, Jing Wazi also said that it is not suitable to marry at least twenty-two, and it is not appropriate for a female baby to marry until twenty, so that giving birth to a baby will not aggravate dystocia, although I don't understand, but Jing Wazi must be right, you see that there are several dystocia who married in our village before, and they are very young, and what Jing Wazi said is not wrong." Zhang Xiaoxia washed the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the basket, and walked back while talking.
"It's really good to think about it, the old babies seem to be fine, and the ones who have a difficult birth are all young, alas, pitiful." Yu Jiao no longer wanted Zhang Xiaoxia to go back and talk to Fang Jing about her mother-in-law, and heard a meaning from Zhang Xiaoxia's mouth, what Fang Jialang said seemed to be very important to Chen Erlin and his wife, just listen, don't say more, this is Yu Jiao's feelings.
After the two returned home, Zhang Xiaoxia began to be busy cooking for the two pigs again, but this matter only needs to be done and boiled in a large cooking pot, and the fire is left to a few little babies to take care of.
"Xiaoxia, do you still have two pigs in this house? Can you show me there? It's not easy to raise pigs. Grandma Yu watched her daughter busy coming in and out, and heard that she was cooking food for pigs, and wanted to go and see it.
"Mother, come, I'll take you to see, this pig is raised behind this stove." Zhang Xiaoxia took the lead and led the three of them to a row of bamboo sheds on the edge of the courtyard.
"Ah, this pig is really big, so white, why is it different from what I saw before? Other people's pigs are dirty and smelly. Duan Shufen raised her eyes and looked at the two pigs in the pig shed and said.
"Sister-in-law, these two pigs are bought after the farm to raise piglets until now, looking at the appearance of eighty pounds now, it is very edible, but I have never been sick, every day in addition to eating is sleeping, when the time comes, I will howl to eat, Jing Wazi said that I will kill and eat meat after the New Year, and then go to buy some piglets to raise after the spring." Zhang Xiaoxia is looking at these two little piglets, slowly growing to the current weight of about 80 catties, in addition to regular feeding every day, cleaning the pig shed from time to time, basically there is not much to do, not to mention clean, there is no smell in the bamboo shed.
"That's how big it has grown in three months? You didn't lie to us? How is this possible? After Duan Shufen heard Zhang Xiaoxia's words, she thought that Zhang Xiaoxia was lying to them.
"Sister-in-law, this is really not lying to you, every family in the entire Fangjia Village raises it, our family is willing to give them beans, other families in the village have not grown so big, sixty catties are still there, besides, this is what Jing Wazi taught the people in the village to raise, and the pigs were sterilized, naturally there is no taste of pigs before, listen to Jing Wazi said, such pork does not smell, and the meat made is delicious." Zhang Xiaoxia heard her mother's family say that she was lying, so she couldn't agree to it, and explained how this pig was a good method.
"Xiaoxia, I don't know much about what you said, but my mother knows, pigs feed beans, that's really not something ordinary people can afford, now there are not many beans, and the harvest is not high, in addition to eating some green vegetables and wild vegetables, where will the pigs feed beans to them, you are too wasteful." Yu's grandmother doesn't have an opinion on pigs, but she is not used to feeding pigs with beans, which is a waste of food, which is also the idea of ordinary farmers.
"Mother, we have a lot of beans, this year we have collected nearly a thousand catties, other families in the village have collected more, some families have collected almost five or six thousand catties of beans this year, in addition to making tofu at home, making concentrate for livestock, can only be used to feed pigs, so that pigs are also fast." Zhang Xiaoxia followed the three of them like a few treasures.
Zhang Xiaoxia is not distressed about beans now, last year and this year's beans, which family is not so much that they are about to be sold, the excess beans can be eaten by livestock, plus this year is raising pigs, then it is necessary to sell beans, and the price of beans is not high, much lower than grain, it can't be drawn, Fang Jing has settled accounts with the people of Fangjia Village, otherwise the people in the village do not agree to use beans to raise pigs.
If a pound of beans is used to raise pigs, piglets are more than 500 pounds, raised to 150 pounds, the meat yield is 70%, 35 pounds per pound of meat, and other bones and internal organs can also be sold for an average of 5 pounds a pound, so that a 150 pound pig can be sold for at least three times 700 yuan, then raise a pig to eat beans, even if a pig of 150 pounds eats 400 pounds of beans, the bean money can be sold for 200 yuan, then add some other most cost at most two dollars, then the rest is the hard-earned money.
"Fangjia Village has collected so many beans? How did you grow it? How can there be such a high yield? Yu's grandmother was frightened by Zhang Xiaoxia's words, how could she collect so many beans, how could it be.
"Mother, this kind of field method is taught by Jing Wazi, every family in Fangjia Village comes in this row, it's not like farming in the past, they all have to rush the season and grab time, but I have to ask Jing Wazi about this, I don't dare to say, I can't say it, but ask Jing Wazi in a while."
Zhang Xiaoxia also didn't know the planting methods and methods of Fangjia Village, whether she could reveal it, although she was a member of her mother's family, she also wanted to tell her mother's family, but she also had to respect this rule, otherwise it was not whether she could be forgiven by Fang Jing, but whether it was possible to stay in Fangjia Village.
"Go back, you have to ask the Fang family man quickly, can this method be taught to us, let's go and ask the Fang family man." Grandma Yu is anxious, there are so many methods of this kind of beans, not everyone can have them, if there is this method, the family will not be hungry anymore.
"Mother, don't worry, this matter is not in a hurry, Jing Wazi can not kneel, otherwise it will be more troublesome, don't make it difficult for Jing Wazi to do it then, I'll ask first." Zhang Xiaoxia hurriedly stopped the three mothers who were eager to find Fang Jing, and also talked about Fang Jing's taboo.
"This ...... That's okay, Xiaoxia, you have to ask in a while, if the Fang family is unwilling, we will ask the Fang family, if you want to come to the Fang family, such a kind-hearted person as the Fang family will definitely agree. After listening to Zhang Xiaoxia's opinion, Yu's grandmother thought carefully for a while before speaking.
"Okay, mother, I'll go and ask Jing Wazi." Zhang Xiaoxia hurriedly responded.
