Wheat harvest in summer, harvest millet in autumn, Wang Zhuangzi in and out on the side, walking with his head down, looking up at the sky, the whole Zhuangzi is the whole of life. People are lazy, lazy, and lazy to the point where I gradually develop the habit of being indifferent to external affairs.

Wangzhuang used to be a back village, and the back village used to be a ...... I couldn't remember it, so I walked with my head bored, and suddenly stopped and exclaimed: Oh, rice is planted here!

"Back to Master Hou, this is our family's land, and the rice is also ours, it is late rice, so it should be harvested." The housekeeper is very helpless, I also think it shouldn't be, this is the tide land that Ying bought, just remember the desolation of the year, and suddenly changed the ridge and became unfamiliar, and forgot about this stubble.

Later, there were also farmers in the village who also built tiled houses. I thought that the farmers in the vicinity would build a tile house in Wangzhuang, but I didn't expect it to be very common in the surrounding Zhuangzijing. Half of the houses in Guanzhong are unique, and there are herringbone roofs everywhere, but there is only one here, which leaves the space of the courtyard at once, especially the blue bricks, green tiles and white walls look the most neat.

The housekeeper didn't know what I was feeling, the old man thought I was strange today, and when I came back, I didn't go to the bath but proposed to go out for a walk, which was very bad.

From time to time, there are women and children around to carry things from Wang Zhuang side, the lotus leaf bag is padded with a big red lining paper, Nan Jinchang three big characters are written in line with eye-catching and harmonious, the small bag is knotted with a string of paper ropes, and the hand is doubled when walking.

Acquaintances look at each other, and they greet each other first, and the east and west family pull a few words shortly, proudly boasting about what the child has learned from the teacher in the kindergarten, and raising his finger to hang the size of the bag and complaining to the other party very obviously. What Nan Jinchang's things are expensive, but there is no way, people get what they pay for, and if they use that thing, they can't make anything else, and they fiddle with it in the same way. Dim sum prepared for the holidays, a few spices that were only used in the homes of large families in previous years, stationery used in the children's school, a small roll of Xihan cotton thread......

"It's a female worker in the weaving workshop," the housekeeper saw that I was listening carefully, and was afraid of being despised by the two nagging ladies, so he hurriedly explained from a distance, "The landlord who has spare money in his hand will receive the doll in the kindergarten when he gets off work." Then pick up some gadgets in the south of Jinchang and bring them back. ”

Oh, I just heard Dalai say that he had raised his wages for the sake of fighting with the Inner Government. It seems that many people are gradually getting used to the days when they have spare money, which can be regarded as letting some people get rich first, right? After all, it was the best behavior in the past for farmers to eat a few bites of dim sum, and they were qualified to show off in front of acquaintances.

"That's all that?"

"It's not uncommon to have more than a dozen Zhuangzi in front of me, and there are more or less girls and daughters-in-law in the family who go to the weaving workshop, and it's a little worse in the distance, but it's much better than in previous years." The housekeeper pointed to the cabbage shoots that had just been pulled up in the surrounding ridges, "The old man ran a lot." I have heard a lot of this saying, and the work before and after the past few years is the merit of your hands, not as many good things as in agriculture, and there is nowhere to call dim sum if you have money. ”

"Say?" smiled, and slapped the head of a doll who got out of the school. The child was startled, ran a few steps forward and smashed a lump of dirt at me in retaliation, and when he saw that I had a tendency to fight back, he flexibly rolled down the ridge. He grimaced at me and disappeared under the ditch.

"The saint is good, considerate of the people, I invited Lord Liu and Hou Ye to run an agricultural school," the housekeeper smiled when he said this, "What do those farmers know, everyone knows it." Let the old man say, you are all supported inside and outside here, and Lord Liu's ancestor burned high incense before he sat on the wind of our king's house. Good wheat, Chinese cabbage, that is not our family planted first, they are cheap. ”

"Well, you can think of it like that, let's not say that, hehe."

Steward Qian was full of spirit when he talked about this, and his fat face was full of pride. "It's not a big deal about the end of the First World War. Three or two days, three or two months without gas. But after three or two years, the world has been turned upside down, which shows the ability of the marquis. When those female workers entered the workshop, they were all yellow and thin, and in a few years, they became bright and white, fat and tender. Now this is a matchmaker, and when she says that she is a girl in the workshop, her mother-in-law is green and grabs her home. A few people who came up from Guanggoryeo who had household registration all got married, all of them were people in the nearby Zhuangzi, and this said that the matchmaker took the lead, and first came to ask the old man about people, and the number of courtesies was very large! ”

It seems that Lao Qian is very interested in doing it this month, and he looks like him, even if he retires and does not rely on the Wang family's pension, he can make a living in a marriage agency. These nearby Zhuangzi have spare money to build roads, the soles of their feet are smooth, and they walk vigorously, unlike the kind that even cattle can stumble and lame before, and people are willing to go out for a walk.

Around the river bay, the former desolate tidal flats have been drawn out a lot of small puddles, small three or four points, large less than one acre, make full use of the narrow river beach resources to open up a self-reserved land, learn to plant some lotus vegetables, water chestnuts, a few vacant pond fish and shrimp, there is no scale on the Wangjia Zhuangzi, but learned enough to learn the breeding model of the Wangjia Zhuangzi.

In the river, a few half-sized people are holding a long net to block small fish and shrimp, and a few large wooden barrels are placed next to them, which contain a lot of wild trash fish in the river. I was interested in this, so I squatted on the side and watched, and every time the boys pulled a net, they threw it into the bucket of water, and when it was almost full, they took the bucket and poured it into the small pond of the fish farm, just like the release festival.

Shaking his head, this is not the number of ways to raise fish, and it is not divided into fish species, the fish pond is so big, and it may not be able to live if it is poured into it. The housekeeper took advantage of the situation to run over, lowered his head and picked in the bucket for a long time, skewered two large strings of fresh river shrimp on the thatched pole, and threw a few copper coins to run back.

"After an oil, sprinkle a crispy pepper and salt, and drink multiple dishes with Lao Hu at night."

Salt and pepper shrimp, this way of eating is from the Wang family, and now it has become a must-have dish in high-end restaurants, which is quite popular, mainly because the oil price is too high and it is difficult to become a home-cooked dish. Smiled and asked, "What are the babies doing?" It's not okay to raise it like this. ”

"Feed the fish," the housekeeper took the shrimp skewers and soaked them in the river water, explaining: "There are not many fish farmers in the past, and the key is that they can't afford fish food, that is, our Wang family and Yun family can afford it." However, the dealer has the method of the farmer, just forget about crucian carp and grass carp, and the catfish beard is easy to raise, just catch the wild fish and throw it in, don't worry about it. Standing up and pointing to a few miniature fish ponds, "Fully-raised catfish, this fish has no spines, big oil, no fishy smell, and it doesn't bother to make other fish, as long as you send it, someone will collect it." They all send live fish to big restaurants and big households. Nowadays, there are many people who eat, and the price is good. The Yun family didn't know the relationship with who to run recently, and the seven and eighth kings and princes all took fish from her house, and the waterwheel that delivered the fish passed before dawn in the morning. ”

This is a lot of money, and he asked, "What about our family?" ”

The housekeeper spread his hands helplessly, and smirked: "Our family has to take it from the Yun family to eat a catfish beard, look, this matter has been turned over." ”

The two looked at each other for a while. Laughed. Blame me, when I cast fish fry at home, I, an expert, picked out all the scourge of catfish for others, and the pure economic fish put in the fish pond at home, not to mention catfish, are not a few hemp fish...... Invisibly, Yun Yatou, who has no breeding experience, has an exclusive.

It was getting late, and he asked as he turned around, "How are our fish selling?" ”

"It's a lot of gone, but it's still not as good as the Yun family's sales. Fish with long spines and scales are not easy to clean up, and they are fishy if they are not good. Will eat or less. When passing by the pond at home, the housekeeper shouted at the farmer who was looking at the noodles, and asked a few times, but he didn't listen carefully, but the farmer proudly said that the grass carp in his pond were running for three or four catties, and he couldn't help frowning.

It seems that the time has come to solve the problem. The Wang family came forward to rent the Yun family's land for the Zhuang family. The farmers have worked day and night all these years, whether it is water chestnuts or fish ponds, and they have poured countless sweat and hope into it. Just these three or four catties of grass carp, the Wang family can't just stand by and wait for the grass carp to develop towards thirty or forty catties, right? Who will it sell to?

Crucian carp and grass carp are the main forces. What to do? In this year, crucian carp is still marketable, and it is generally taken back by women who have less milk during the lactation period to stew soup to promote milk; The way to eat grass carp is slightly more complicated, the chef of the Wang family has mastered several practices after my long-term training, and the guests have a high evaluation when they used to invite guests to eat, and a few friends also specially sent people to learn the craft back, and a small number of aristocratic circles are popular, but after all, there is no atmosphere in the big restaurant, the key is that the eating method is too refined. The cumbersome production process is not in line with the eating habits of this year, the popularity is not high, and a stable consumer class has not been formed.

Braised fish fillet, braised in red, steamed, grilled...... There are a lot of dishes, all of which are dishes on the plate on the table, which is not good. You can't expect a family to have a banquet all day long. These things may not be present at the banquet every time, and you need a civilian way to eat them.

"The wind is blowing. Don't squat in the yard and be careful of getting cold. Ying came out with a long coat and put it on me, "I love to be cold in autumn, be careful of my body." ”

"Oh, it's still hot outside," Ying reminded me that it was indeed a little cool at night. My mind is confused, thinking about Lanling and sugar cane for a while, and how to shoot for a fish. Autumn is the season of fish fat and thick meat, and it tastes good until the wax moon, so you have to hurry. Winter, what did I eat in winter?

"It's still early for winter," Ying pursed her lips and smiled and pulled me into the house, "Are you hungry for another day?" The concubine ordered you to have an extra meal? ”

"Are there any fish?" A tendon, full of this now.

"It's night, it's troublesome, and the waiting time can be long." Ying got up and was about to call the girl to pass the word to the kitchen.

"Forget it, it's troublesome, get a bowl of whistle noodles and send it." As he spoke, he leaned on his back, stretched his limbs comfortably, and made a few oops. The whistle noodles are good, I used to have dinner with the unit, and the ladies ran madly towards all kinds of shabu-shabu restaurants, although I felt deeply disgusted with that thing, but I also had to carry forward the style and work hard to have fun, and a table of junk food was poured into the soup and made a strange and disgusting taste. After sending the burping ladies home one by one, I went to the noodle restaurant with a few men who had been persecuted by shabu-shabu to replenish their appetites.

sighed lightly, or shabu-shabu will solve the problem. Deeply condemned by conscience, since joining the work, there are three hatreds, one hates the leader is inconsiderate of his subordinates? The second hates the shrinking salary on the financial front, and the third hates that someone proposed to go to the fish village to eat shabu-shabu on the weekend! Generally speaking, I hate the latter item the most, although the consumption is not high, but I always feel that I have not eaten anything, especially I can't see that the gradually viscous bottom of the pot is more disgusting than the garbage pit, everything is rushing into it, as if stepping into a dung pit, it is really full of color, fragrance and taste. Alack! The Chinese food is all ruined here, I am a historical sinner!

"Where's the fourth?" After two mouthfuls of noodles, he patted his belly with satisfaction, "Call her to take the order." ”

"The concubine takes the order," Ying dignified after a standard court etiquette slapped me on the back, "Woe comes from the mouth!" ”

"Go!" smiled and pushed Ying, took a copper basin for washing feet, and studied it. Not bad. Judging from the style alone, it is a standard shabu-shabu pot, and an iron block in the middle becomes a mandarin duck pot? While trying to stir-fry the existing seasoning as spicy as possible, there is a delicious chicken soup with red dates...... No, red dates crucian carp chicken soup, which can increase crucian carp shipments.

Ying led the fourth child with wet hair over, snatched the footbasin from my hand, and glared at me hatefully.

Ignoring Ying, he turned his head to the fourth child and asked, "Isn't the family planning to buy land in the West Market?" ”

The fourth child is unknown. Nodding stiffly, he took two jars of crickets from under the table and began to look at them.

"Move less!" Hurry up and grab it, this is the general who took Cheng Mansion to fight in the ring in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the fourth child was sad when the incense was burned. "Warning, don't move under the table, the outside wall is all for you."

"Stingy!" The fourth dissatisfied Chao Ying leaned forward and shook Ying's arm to complain, Ying seemed to remember something. His face twisted into a pensive state.

"Let's set up a restaurant in the name of Chen Jiadi, and King Qian's family will come out." Wipe the smell on the jar and hide it, "Just the scale of Tongfulou, how much do you see?" ”

"On the West Market?" The fourth child and Ying looked at the sheep with crazy eyes. Seeing that I was sincere, the two looked at each other, and the fourth child was surprised: "Brother-in-law has eaten?" Ying nodded helplessly, raised her hand and slapped the fourth child.

"Question. Whatever I eat! ”

"Brother-in-law, you shrewd people talk nonsense. How many years has Tongfulou been in the West City, interlaced like a mountain, no matter how easy the Chen family's signboard is, it can't compete with others...... "The fourth is pragmatic, listing the difficulties of half an hour before concluding: "No matter how good the restaurant is, it has to last for a winter and spring off-season, earn half a year's land money, and there is a curfew in the city, it is really not worth taking the land price of the West Market." ”

"I wasn't going to make much. There is a signboard in the West Market, and it is cheap to open a branch outside the city, so I asked what the price was in the West Market. Thinking about it, he added: "Our business is regardless of the season, it is good to have vegetables, and it is still sold if there is no vegetables." ”

The fourth child looked at me suspiciously, shrunk up and snuggled up in Ying's arms to calculate the small account, "By the big number." Let's talk about it. It depends on how it is laid out. ”

"That's a thousand times, don't arrange. We're selling civilian food. "The main thing is to let everyone develop the habit of eating fish, not to make money for the family, to make a market for Zhuangzi fish pond, and to take the popular route. Chao Ying Nunu mouthed, "Pick up money in the account room and let the fourth child buy it, the sooner the better." Oh, by the way, I have a cold and fever today, and I will ask Lao Liu to ask for leave tomorrow morning, for three days first. ”

"What kind of person," Ying shouted over there to tease the second daughter of the nine-pound land to come over and help the fourth child calculate, and took the opportunity to crawl on my ear and said in a mosquito voice: "I don't discuss it with the concubine in advance, no matter what it is, our family doesn't have the full reason." ”

One night asked, a few words should be indiscriminately past, thinking about how to get it tomorrow, I didn't study shabu-shabu, the recipe ingredients are still a problem, stir-fry it, and the sauce is fried in the oil pot first.

Sichuan pepper, spices, ginger, garlic...... Messy and fried in the oil pan, and fried an old bowl with old sauce as a base. A few fat chickens tumbled up and down in the big pot of soup, crucian carp brought a mixture of milky white and milky soup, Wangcai and Needlenose jumped excitedly around the big stove where the sticks were boiled, and Ying sat on the side to watch me fiddle with a few new footbaths that I had just bought.

For the time being, it's like this, it's a little shallow, and I drew the right size and style and asked the next person to go to Nanjin Chang to order fifty first. After a busy morning, fresh vegetables, sliced meat, fungus, tofu, everything you can find are found, and the most important thing is that a huge plate of thinly sliced grass carp is prominently placed. A plate of plates was placed neatly and neatly, and a few charcoal stoves were set up for the high-temperature sterilized footbasin rack, and different kinds of soup ingredients were filled and waiting to be boiled.

A large tray of oil bowls of various formats is available for selection, Ying, the second daughter, and the fourth child sit around and look at each other, I don't know what kind of way to eat, a hodgepodge of foot basins?

"Look, learn from me," he said, he took a pair of chopsticks and fish fillets into the basin, fried the fragrant oil and mixed it with sesame paste and other seasonings, stirred it well, took the oil bowl and turned it around the noses of the three people, "Fragrant, right?" ”

"Yes!" The fourth man was fast, grabbed the second daughter's head and brought two kinds of oil bowls, stirring up energy. Following my example, I took out the tender fish fillet from the pot and dipped it, and stabbed it into my mouth with hot air.

"Okay, the demonstration is over, everyone use it slowly." I can't taste good or bad about this thing, one piece is enough, and it is more disgusting, so I have to let them taste it. Took a pot helmet dipped in the oil bowl to eat, the newly cut tender cabbage is not dipped in the fragrant, specially prepared for himself to cut the thin slices of lamb ribs dipped in the most palatable, see the boiling water taste is all over, we savages, not good to eat.

"Won't it be?" Half a pound of raw meat lettuce under the stomach, very cool, I haven't eaten it for a long time, I used to be embarrassed to eat raw meat like this with my female colleagues in the unit, and the family is different, no one dares to laugh at me.

The three ladies nodded with sweaty heads, looking at the situation, it seems that the ladies' hobbies have not changed much for more than a thousand years, and they are very gratified. As long as these three people in the family are satisfied, there is nothing to say outside, it is not a boast, Man Chang'an can't find a more picky woman than these three.

"Brother-in-law plans to rely on this to open a restaurant?" The big grass carp that prepared three catties obviously didn't parry, and it was barely sent to the fourth child after three plates, the key is that Ying resolutely disagreed to put mutton into the pot, and I ate a few pieces of raw and unfinished shabu the pot helmet.

"Okay?" knocked on the head of the fourth child's chopsticks, "The girl eats less raw meat and has corns!" ”

"Okay!" The fourth child's eyes rolled, "The Qian Chen family who started the restaurant...... I wrapped it together. ”

The expression on Ying's face changed several times, and the chopsticks secretly poked the second daughter, and the two exchanged glances, "Half of the family, the fourth child only has a few dollars in his hand, and my sister will save you half of the expenses." As he spoke, he raised his chopsticks and knocked twice on the door of the second daughter's head, "Eat, hurry up when you're full." The sun hasn't gone right yet, grinning and waiting to bite the moon? ”

The second daughter cried and ran away with a very tacit face, and the fourth child glanced at the back with contempt, and defiantly took a plate of mutton slices and poured it into the pot.
