Chapter 408: Busy and Busy

Let Jack come out with the coolies in the space, tidy up all three greenhouses, and most importantly, remove all the things that had been a mess, replant them, and build a vine trellis on top of the basket for them to climb.

After getting all this out and sending Jack's group back to the space, Jian Heng found that the time was already half past eleven o'clock in the night, and it was already early in the morning when he returned home, and when he took a bath and went to bed, Barley and Wheat were already asleep.

As soon as he slept until dawn, Jian Heng got up and was busy again, and when he rested, it was already past noon, and then he went to the farm, and Jian Heng recruited Jack and the others again, and asked them to tie up melons, vines, beans, vines and vines to their respective shelves. After another busy day, I didn't get home until midnight.

As soon as you open your eyes, one day will be the Lunar New Year, that is to say, tomorrow night will be the first day of the lunar New Year, for the Chinese Lunar New Year is of great importance, from a few days ago everyone began to get busy, and now almost the whole family is acting to prepare for the upcoming New Year.

Jian Heng went to the livestock shed to take a look, and when he came back, he found that Old Man Yao had come over, and what was even more amazing was that Kate and Matthew, two characters who belonged to the dragon in the ranch and couldn't see the end of the dragon, actually appeared at home today.

Smiling at the two of them amicably, Jian Heng walked to the table, reached out and picked up a sugar triangle that had just come out of the cage and put it in his mouth.

After eating a sugar triangle in three bites and two bites, Jian Heng made a gesture of praise to his mother: "Authentic, too authentic"

When Sun Xiuying heard her son praise herself, she immediately said with a smile: "Wait a while, when the radish buns are ready, you can taste the radish buns, this year's radish buns will definitely be delicious, and none of the radishes will be soaked in the heart."

Jian Heng nodded: "Hmm!" ”

Smelling the aroma in his nose, Jian Heng asked again: "What else do you want to get in the kitchen, Mom, I'll tell you to get a little less of these things, let's just try them, if you get too much, no one will eat them, don't leave them when the time comes."

Now everyone's life is much better than before, Jian Heng vaguely remembers that when he was a child, the New Year was the happiest time, not only because of the holiday and some fun, but also because when it came to the New Year, the adults were generous, and they were usually reluctant to eat and drink.

Now few people will have that kind of experience, all year round big fish and meat are tired of eating, and now eating coarse grains has become the mainstream. So like it used to be very popular, sugar triangle, radish buns, big meat buns and so on are eaten every day, and the street stalls are one or two pieces a piece, and it is not a new thing to eat every morning.

Doing this for the New Year is nothing more than one reason: tradition!

Sun Xiuying nodded with a smile and said: "These are made into two or three cages, and now no one eats them, so they are a little more delicious when they are hot, and now the instant noodles are better than it when they are cold!" ”

"Ouch, I won't talk to you anymore, your sister is still in the kitchen with barley and wheat fried meatballs," Sun Xiuying said and wiped her hand on her apron, and then trotted into the kitchen.

Jian Heng turned his head to take a look, and found that his brother-in-law Matthew and Old Man Yao were chatting enthusiastically, and his mother-in-law was now holding a camera, taking pictures here and there, and seemed to be very interested in the current layout of the house, and from time to time he heard the click sound of her pressing the shutter.

There is nothing to talk about with Matthew and Kate, not to mention chatting, now standing here, Jian Heng felt an awkward aura in the air, so he didn't think about it and went directly into the kitchen following his mother's footsteps.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I was immediately shocked by the momentum of the kitchen croquettes, and I saw a layer of light-colored meatballs floating in the oil pot, and it seemed that they would be ready to be cooked. On the operating table, there are two three basins, both of which are slightly smaller than the basin, such three basins have been filled with three basins of balls, and there is an empty basin next to the three full basins, no need to think that this must be the fourth basin for balls.

Looking at the balls on the operating table next to him, Jian Heng estimated that there would be two pots.

"I said Mom, are our family going to fall into the ball pot this year? How do you make so much and can't eat it? Jian Heng reached out and pinched a ball and put it in his mouth.

After chewing for a while, the smell of meat immediately overflowed from the meatballs, filling the entire mouth, the starch in the meatballs and the meat will be better, the meat taste is enough but not greasy, as for the ginger foam and garlic paste, and the taste of green onions is a little heavier, but it does not destroy the taste of the meatballs too much, in short, the meatballs are good.

"The ginger taste is a bit heavy," Jian Heng stretched out his hand and gestured.

Sun Xiuying picked one up, put it in her mouth and tasted one, but she refused to admit it: "It's good, although this inner pill has not reached the peak this year, it has already reached the nine-point level, and it is not a failure."

Hearing his mother say this, Jian Heng had to shrug his shoulders and make a helpless look, looking at Jian Heng's barley and wheat with amusement.

Each pot of meatballs is a flavor, in addition to meatballs, there are also tofu balls, yam balls, and the fried ones in the pot are the radish balls that Jian Heng prefers.

The radish family that makes radish balls wants a heavy radish flavor, and you can't use the kind of white radish that doesn't have the taste of radish, and the white radish is generally flowing with pork ribs, these big meat dishes, and the fried radish balls are too bad, and they don't taste good after they come out.

For example, the fried radish balls selected by Jian Heng's family are the red-skinned and red-hearted radishes produced in his hometown, this kind of radish has a strong flavor, not only the radish meat inside is spicier than other radishes, this kind of radish is the best material for making radish balls, so that after being paired with starch and a small amount of meat foam, the taste of the meatballs is strong enough.

"Don't get in the way here, go and see how your dad and your brother-in-law are doing, how are the fish doing, how can they go out for an hour, let him get some fish is like giving birth to a child, this is called a lot of work" Sun Xiuying complained at this time that his wife was coming.

Jian Heng felt a little strange when he heard this, because he didn't find anyone on the lake when he entered the door, so he asked, "I didn't see anyone on the lake when I entered the house."

"I must go, I'm still waiting for the fish to go to the pot, you go and call your dad and ask him to hurry up, even if he doesn't make up enough numbers, he has to come a little first" Sun Xiuying said and pushed Jian Heng.

Jian Heng is not in the way of others in the kitchen, when he was leaving, he reached out and grabbed a few balls and put them in his hand, and stuffed a ball into his mouth as he walked.

After eating the meatballs, the people had already walked to the lake, and when they stood on the edge of the lake, they found that their Lao Tzu was squatting on the ice with his brother-in-law Yang Bin, as well as a group of people and animals.

When Jian Heng walked to them, he found that these people had carved a lot of small holes in the ice, and the mouth was not big, that is, a small round hole with a diameter of about twenty centimeters, and more than a dozen small round holes surrounded a small round lonely, and each head looked at two to three ice caves, including instant noodles, which were divided into two ice holes.

"You guys really know how to play! What about the fish that has been played so far? A few chefs can be in a hurry, if you can't come up with something, you can't explain it, wait to go home and be tortured," Jian Heng joked at the group.

Hush!

Before Jian Heng's words fell, Yang Bin shouted at Jian Heng, and then pointed to the big ice cave that had been dug in front of him.

Jian Heng walked over and found that there was a steel drill inserted next to the big ice cave, and there were several ropes hanging on the steel drill, and at a glance, he knew that several net straps had been thrown into the water.

When he arrived at the ice cave, Jian Heng took off his gloves and reached out to pull a net pocket to take a look, there were still a lot of fish in it, and they were all crucian carp shells or small carp that were slightly larger than the palm, which were all good materials for making fried fish. After looking at all the net pockets, Jian Heng estimated that there would be forty or fifty fried fish to be enough.

"I said you ......"

"Shhhh Don't argue, uncle, we're in a game," Xiao An said.

"Let others not be noisy, why do you talk too much" Xiao An made Ning Ning very unhappy.

When Jian Heng saw these guys, he couldn't expect to take a hand, so he took one net bag in one hand by himself, and only after two trips back and forth did he send all the fish back to the kitchen, and then put all the net bags back into the big ice cave.

Walking to Ning Ning's side, Jian Heng lowered his voice and asked his sister in a low voice, "What are Wang Sai's rules?" ”

"Catch a red fish!" The little girl said that after spit out three words, she was no longer willing to say more.

Seeing that Jian Heng wanted to continue asking, the little girl moved two steps with a disgusted face and squatted to the side.

Jian Heng was psychologically dissatisfied and slandered his little sister a few times: I hurt you in vain! Then I scratched my head a little and asked what the little girl was talking about about the red fish.

"I have one"

Suddenly, Jian Heng heard his brother-in-law Yang Bin clapping his hands happily, so he immediately looked at him, only to see a red bright red fish about fifteen centimeters long jumping out of the water and landing on the ice with a bang.

Seeing the fish, Jian Heng understood what the little girl's mouth was talking about about red fish, red tilapia!

"What am I talking about, it turns out to be Red Toxia," Jian Heng said after figuring it out.

"Red tilapia?"

"Well, red tilapia, this fish tastes good, but it's strange that you can still see them at this temperature" Saying that, Jian Heng reached out and picked up the red tilapia from his brother-in-law's side, ready to go back and add a dish at noon.

Yang Bin couldn't believe it: "Can this fish be eaten?" ”

"Why can't you eat it, didn't I tell you that it was a red tilapia," Jian Heng said.

Red tifia, especially the red tilapia that grows in Jian Heng's lake, does look a little scary in appearance, the belly and back of the whole body are blood-red and blood-red, that is, the stomach on both sides is a little white, it does look a little scary at first glance, but the taste is very good.
