Under the locust tree, a young woman who stood there at some point came not far away.

"How expensive, just buy so many things, tsk ......"

The woman snorted softly, and looked at the things that the flowers were carrying in their hands.

Hanashi raised his eyes and looked at the visitor.

She recognized this little woman as Xiao He, the little daughter-in-law of the second aunt in the next room, Xiao He, who had just been married for less than two years, and because of her small heart, she had a lot of conflicts with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

When the Li family was still there, in addition to the sound of the Li family's scolding and scolding always came from his house, the courtyard of the second aunt next door could always hear the noisy scolding.

Therefore, the impression when I spent it was quite deep, and I knew something about it more or less......

When the flowers were in their eyes, they motioned to the flowers who were holding the things to meet a few people and go back to the house first.

Hua Yu swept his eyes, didn't want to pay attention to it, carried the heaviest bag of soybeans, and staggered into the house.

Hua Xiao also held the cage of the chick and pulled Hua Li into the courtyard.

At the gate of the courtyard, in the blink of an eye, Hua Shi and Xiao He were left standing opposite each other.

Xiao He stood on tiptoe, towards the open courtyard door behind her, stretched out his head to look inside, his eyes were unabashedly gossipy, and his eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to see something out of a flower.

"Little sister-in-law, come out for a walk?"

Hua Shi ignored her two sentences at the beginning, changed the topic, and asked in a pleasant manner.

Although it is a relationship between neighbors and outsiders, in fact, the courtyards of the two houses are not close to each other, and a large area is vacated at the entrance of the courtyard.

On the left side of the small courtyard of the Hua family, as far as the eye can see, there is a family of the second aunt, on the right is a dense forest, and then there is a mountain road.

Directly in front of the door, twenty or thirty meters away, I saw a few families in the distance, next to the thatched houses built.

Aunt Hua's courtyard looked to the left, and it was almost ten meters away before the gray-yellow thatched roof and walls were seen again.

The Huajia courtyard is the most remote family in the village, the closest to the foot of the mountain, and because of this, there are not many nearby houses around, and you can count them with your fingers.

Xiao He snorted lowly, looking at the eyes of the flowers, some noses are not noses, eyes are not eyes, and they are not pleasing to the eye.

"What am I wandering around, don't I just hear a sound outside the house, come out and take a look."

The words she said were still a little weird, and then she said a little strangely: "Didn't you just have three people in your family die?" How can there be so much silver to buy that pile of things? ”

It can be seen that Xiao He's is indeed very gossip about this.

Hua Shi knew that she was suffering from pink eye, and she couldn't see anyone else's good, so she said in a somewhat sad tone: "What kind of money is there?" The family is almost unable to open the pot, if you don't save a little, where can you have the money to stay until now, let alone afford to buy these chicks, when my milk is still there, I buy a dozen and go back to the yard to raise, to me, I can only buy those few ......"

"By the way, sister-in-law, I heard that your man didn't follow Uncle Hua to collect apples and buy them in the town, and he earned five taels of silver in only two or three months, do you want to borrow some silver from our family, so that you can buy rice and open the pot......"

Hua Shi's words changed sharply, and he suddenly said these words.

Xiao He's easy-to-use face changed suddenly, and he reluctantly hung his face: "Hey, what's the matter?" Where did you hear about it? ”

Her man worked tirelessly and tirelessly to help people outside, and he worked hard for nearly a year before he earned three taels of silver, where did he get five taels, she didn't say anything about it, how did the little girl know?

"Ah, so, there are no five taels, there are three taels, right?" Hua Shi nodded and said again.

Xiao He's expression changed, and she immediately exploded, her thoughts turned and turned, and she thought about it for a while.

Afraid of flowers, he continued to chase after himself to borrow money, so he hurriedly made an excuse and ran back to his yard.

Hua Shi looked at her back as she ran away, laughed secretly in her heart, and turned around to see Hua Xiao lying on the door frame, staring at her with big eyes, curiously probing her brain to look out.

"Hee-hee-hee......"

Facing Hua Shi's eyes, Hua Xiao suddenly smiled at her twice, turned around and ran back to the yard.

I don't know if it's her illusion, Hua Shi seems to have seen it on Hua Xiao's face, and suddenly realized and had a learned expression......

…

"What are we doing here?"

In the backyard, in front of a large open space in the bamboo forest, Hua Li held a shovel, squatted on the ground, knocked on the hard sand, and asked puzzledly.

After lunch, Hua Shi led several of them to the backyard, and each of them had a small shovel or iron hoe, digging the soil on the ground little by little.

"Loosen the soil, grow vegetables, otherwise what else can you do?"

Hua Shi said without raising his head, picking up the hoe and striking it properly.

Hua Li didn't understand even more, he stood up, pointed to the dilapidated fence not far away, and asked, "But why don't you plant vegetables in the same place where you planted vegetables before, and go here to loosen the soil and plant again?" ”

Although the area here is wider than before, but this has run to the back of the bamboo forest, there are too many far in the front yard, not to mention the inconvenience of going back and forth, and there is a new loosening of the soil and the fence, how laborious.

Hua Li's idea was very simple, pointing to the place where the Li family left a small vegetable patch the previous year, and looking at Hua Shi curiously and puzzled.

Hearing him muttering a bunch of dazed words, it took time to straighten up, stop what he was doing, and wipe the fine sweat from his forehead.

"Did you see that?" Hua Shi pointed to the north, a large area of dry depression, where the weeds and thorns were overgrown, and there was a large empty area.

Hua Li turned his head to see clearly, and his little expression became even more dazed, "See, aren't they all weeds?" ”

Hua Shi smiled: "No, this was a pond before, but the back was dry somehow, and it was overgrown with weeds." ”

"Yes, but what's the matter with our vegetable patch?" Hua Li scratched her head, her face dazed.

Hua Xiao on the side also looked at it curiously.

"It matters, when the vegetable garden is taken care of, let's go and clean up all the grass in the pit of the pond, and put water in it when the time comes, so that it will not be used to carry water back and forth to water the vegetables, and the water will also nourish the land, and the vegetables will grow well if the land is good, besides, I will raise fish here."

Hua Shi clapped his hands and crossed his waist, looking ambitious.

"Oh......"

Hua Li blinked, buried his head, and shoveled up the soil again.

Hua Shi nodded, seeing that his reaction was flat, and he didn't seem to take her words to heart.

This plan seems a little old, and what I say now is indeed a bit like empty talk.

"You're going to raise fish here? Like the Ho family? ”

Hua Li was not very interested in the topic, Hua Xiao on the side listened to it, but her eyes lit up, and she asked two questions in a row.

"Yes, is the He family's fish pond very big?" Somewhat curious when flowering.

She did hear from the people in the village that the family surnamed He was the largest fish farmer in the village, not that the surname He raised fish, but that there was a family surnamed He who raised a lot of fish and earned a lot of silver, so they became famous in the village.

Over time, it has been passed down from one person to another, and everyone likes to use their surnames to refer to that family......

"It's huge, there are three whole fish ponds, and one is about the size of what you see!"

Hua Xiao pointed to the deserted pond, her eyes flashing with excitement that she had never seen before.

She said: "If we raise fish well, there will definitely be people who are willing to come and collect our fish." ”

Hua Li on the side interrupted her fantasies and said, "But the owner has always collected the fish of the He family, will they want us?" ”

Hua Xiao frowned, and was about to retort.

Hua Shi interrupted the words of the two who were about to argue, "You think too far, you haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, wait for the fish pond to become a word, if others don't want it, you can't sell it, let's raise it and eat it ourselves, and I'm afraid of wasting it." ”

It took three days to complete the vegetable garden, which was weeding, land preparation, and building a fence wall, which was manual and labor-intensive.

It's finally ......

There are not many vegetables that can be planted in February, so I ran a few shops to exchange for spring radish seeds.

After some inquiry, I learned that in early spring, there were not many people who grew vegetables. The winter snow has just melted, the soil is not soft enough, the temperature is not suitable for planting, and most of the vegetable seedlings are not yet available at this time.

Therefore, after three days of vegetable garden, six plots of land, five plots of spring radishes were planted, and the last piece of land was half of the time spent on spending, and the millet that was going to come when I bought chickens a few days ago was soaked and planted in the ground.

Whether you can eat chili peppers depends on whether these chili peppers can survive or not.

To be honest, seeing that most of the half year of coming here is about to pass, Huashi's mouth is so light that there is no taste, she misses the life of big fish and big meat before.

The most important thing is that she is actually a food lover who is not spicy or happy......

Spicy rabbit head, spicy chicken feet, spicy fragrant pot, spicy bean curd fish......

Coupled with the limited conditions now, she ran several households in the village to barely get the necessary seasonings such as green onions, ginger, and garlic.

Things like star anise and cinnamon are rare, not to mention.

However, with these on hand, it is enough, and the flowers are buried in the vegetable garden and planted.

In the empty yard, after this little half a month of tidying up, many things piled up in the yard, old and discarded wooden boards and baskets, were cleared out and thrown away.

Even the chicken pen piled up in the corner of the wall was dismantled by Hua Shi, and after a few sweeps, the land was empty.

After a few tosses, the yard was missing a lot of things, and naturally it looked a lot empty.

"What are we washing so many soybeans for?"

At the mouth of the well, Hua Li asked curiously with wide eyes.

Hua Shi stood on the side, his hands kept washing the soybeans, and the sound of the wooden pot and the beans colliding sounded.

"I'm going to make soy sauce with soybeans." Flower time said.

Although she has not done it in detail, she has seen a lot of videos before, and she is curious about this kind of workmanship, so she followed the video and watched it several times, and she remembers the general process.

She poured the soybeans into the pot in advance, soaked them in water for three hours, and now she only needs to drain them, then remove the empty shells and pick out the spoiled soybeans.

"The water is boiling."

The flower in the kitchen walked out and shouted at the flower at the well.

"Huh." The flower answered.

Now you need to put the soybeans in a pot and cook them, and when you are cooking, you also need to pour the flour into a dry pan and fry them until they are slightly yellow.

Follow the train of thought when you spend it, step by step.

The three small tails that followed behind him kept leaning over to look at it, showing great curiosity.

She said to make soy sauce? What is Soy Sauce? They had never heard of it before......

"Hoo ......"

Minutes and seconds passed.

When flowering, the cooked soybeans are picked up again and poured into the pot. Allow to cool, then pour in the flour and stir well.

The stirred soybeans are put into a small porcelain jar that has been prepared long ago, and the flowers are lifted to the corner of the hall to be put aside, and they need to be fermented in a warm place indoors.

It is about a day and a night to ferment the soybeans to cover the surface with white mycelium, and then turn them over and ferment again for a day and a night.

Wait for the soybeans to grow green on the surface, then pour them into the brewing jar, pour in salt water, and soak the soybeans inside. Then sprinkle some salt on the top, and finally move it to the yard and let it be exposed to the sun for three months, so that it becomes a sauce mash.

After the above is completed, it is not finished, and the soy sauce will mature in about six months.

The last step is to put the finished soy sauce into the pot, add various spices to cook the fragrance, monosodium glutamate, white wine, brown sugar and salt, etc., this step is to determine the taste of the soy sauce boiled, whether it is delicious or not depends on this step.

After adding the spices, pour it into the pot, boil until it is thick and fresh, strain it once, and the soy sauce is finished.

Hua Shi filtered it in his mind, and after the whole process, he clapped his hands and smiled with satisfaction.

In this way, she will be able to eat soy sauce after waiting for another six months at most.

There is no way, there is nothing here, and whatever you want to eat, you can only do it yourself.

It's a bit abrasive to think about......

"All these things you said were in the same place where you used to be?"

Hua Shi's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and Hua Yu, who was standing beside her, suddenly asked meaninglessly.

"yes." Hua Shi only nodded in response, and didn't say anything else.

Hua Yu seemed to sigh lowly, and her dark eyes seemed to hide curiosity about her.

Hua Shi heard that he was suspicious of clichés, and she didn't want to reveal too much about her previous affairs.

First, Huayu didn't fully trust her, and secondly, there were many people, and it was easy to make mistakes when she said more.

She remembers that the big names in history who are intrigued, and those who can survive to the end are better than one point, that is, they are strict and have few words.

For the vigilance of flowers, flowers are in the eyes.

The more she concealed it, the more curious Hua Yu's heart became......

After putting away his prejudiced gaze at Hanashi, he realized that Hanashi had many secrets hidden in him......

After he calmed down his emotions, he thought about it again, borrowing a corpse to resurrect a soul or something, it was too amazing.

"Okay, the next time, follow me to the backyard and set up the chicken pen, those chickens have been stocked in the yard without a nest, how can they be ......?"

Hua Shi was talking and walking out, and as soon as the babbling words got stuck, he saw that in the yard, the eight little chicks made a miserable cry.

The white fox, lying not far from the yard, with two front paws, pressed the wings of a little chick, teasing viciously, and looked at the chirping chick for a long time.

The little yellow chicken was so frightened that he ran around, and the little black and the little white dog on the side were on the side, and when they saw that the chicken had run away, they used their paws to pull it back......

"Tweet ......"

Listening to the thin and sharp chicks, you can know how panicked these chicks are.

Hua Xiao and Hua Li only dared to stand and watch from a distance, but they didn't dare to step forward to stop them because of the presence of the tall white fox.

Half a month has passed, and Hua Xiao and Hua Li still haven't gotten used to the white fox with a huge body and sharp fangs when they open their mouths.

In addition, Eleven and Xiao Hei have always been very arrogant, except for the time when they are there, a cat and a fox are too lazy to bend down to deal with others.

The two sides get along with each other not far away, and they are quite harmonious, provided that they do not interfere with each other......

"Eleven! What are you guys doing?! ”

Hanatoki's voice came from the direction of the hall.

The white fox immediately let go of its claws and turned its head innocently to look over.

Xiao Hei also jumped on the bamboo chair like a smoke, with a smooth cat back, his back to her, licking the cat's paws as if nothing happened.

All that was left was the stupid little white dog, sticking out his tongue and holding the little chick excitedly, not finding anything wrong.

Flower time: ......

…
