Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 1804 is another matter (two more)
All kinds of fried meat, stewed meat, bacon and bacon are mixed with spicy scallions and garlic moss.

Mrs. Sun gave birth to a hot pot. The white radish in the hot pot was grown in her own field. It was plump and crispy.

Beef is paired with radish.

Yang Ruoqing picked up the chili sauce into the hot pot with her big chopsticks and stirred it. The radish and beef in the pot were immediately dyed red in sauce.

Under the high temperature, there is a cheerful sound of gurgling, and the heat and fragrance rush to the face.

Yang Ruoqing picked up a piece of beef that was cut to a moderate thickness and looked it over. This beef is really a very high-end ingredient in this era.

The price of a catty of beef is enough to buy more than ten catties of pork.

Just because this is the farming era, there are no machines, and cattle are the main production tool.

Take Changping Village as an example. There are [-] or [-] households in a village. From the beginning to the end of the village, the number of households that can independently own a cow can be counted with one hand.

In the past, Lao Yang's family put all their energy into raising a cow, and so many fields were cultivated with that cow.

As for other families, it is common for three or four families to jointly pay for a cow.

During the busy season of farming, people are tired, and cattle are even more tired.

During the day and night, we must cultivate, without a moment's rest.

There are even more people who can't even afford the money to buy cattle in partnership, so they have to plow the fields by themselves.

Therefore, in this era, it is easy for farmers to kill pigs and chickens and cattle during the New Year.

Beef is usually not available in Washi, of course, it is another matter for the rich and powerful and the upper class.

This meeting is a mountain village, the countryside, and only speaks the words of the people in the countryside.

The piece of beef that Yang Ruoqing is holding between the chopsticks at the moment is an old scalper shared by several families in the next village years ago, and its aging has been accelerated due to overwork.

It could no longer plow the fields, so the several families together sold the old scalper to a butcher for some money for the New Year.

Originally, Yang Ruoqing didn't intend to buy the beef.

Why?

Sometimes she is shrewd, but sometimes she is a bit stupid.

I feel sorry for the old scalper, and exhausted the last drop of sweat while I was alive.

After death, the meat has to be sold for money.

I feel uncomfortable eating this kind of meat.

The butcher who slaughtered the cow had always wanted to do the Tianxianglou supply business, so he sent over thirty catties of beef.

Yang Ruoqing was the owner, Yang Yongjin was the shopkeeper, and the butcher bribed them both.

Yang Ruoqing has twenty catties here, and Yang Yongjin has ten catties there.

Yang Ruoqing didn't want it at first, but seeing how greedy Xiao An and Xiao Jie were, she accepted it.

Eating beef in winter is good for your health.

I can only comfort myself with the spirit of Ah Q, animals are eaten by humans, humans are the top of the food chain, and eating all other lowly creatures is the right obtained under the law of survival in nature.

To put it a little more superstitiously, the soul of that old scalper has already been registered.

There's nothing wrong with eating meat, right?Let's eat, let's eat, didn't we eat steak in the previous life, don't be hypocritical!
"Wow, this stewed radish with beef is delicious!"

Yang Ruolan also came over and took a deep breath of the fragrance.

Yang Ruoqing smiled, not to mention the big piece of beef and the soft stewed spicy radish, even the thick soup at the bottom of the pot, she can soak two big bowls of rice to eat!

Hey, I suddenly feel how powerless human beings are in the face of delicious food and instinct.

"Qing'er, didn't you tell me to save the swim bladder? It's all here. What do you want the swim bladder for?"

Sun's voice came over, Yang Ruoqing put down her chopsticks, covered the lid and walked towards Sun's side.

Mrs. Sun was preparing to cook the fish, and beside her was a long white swim bladder.

Yang Ruoqing picked up the swim bladder and looked it over, nodded repeatedly: "I'll get it right away."

"Qing'er, don't you put this fish maw in the pan with the fish?" Yang Ruolan looked at Yang Ruoqing holding three eggs in her hand, and couldn't help asking curiously.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "In the past, fish maw was cooked together with the fish, but now we eat it differently."

"What kind of food?"

"Hey, let's not talk about it, Lan'er, just look at it."

Yang Ruoqing deliberately played tricks, and then rinsed the swim bladder again with water.

Gently tap the three eggs on the pot, pour the liquid of the whole egg into the fish maw entrance, and cook the second and third eggs in the same way.

Then sprinkle a little salt flower, a little sugar, a pinch of garlic and ginger foam into it.

Then use the thin red silk thread prepared in advance to tie up the entrance of the swim bladder.

Carry it in your hand and shake it casually a few times, so that the previous seasonings can be evenly spread.

Then she found a bowl, put the tied and bulging fish maw into the bowl, poured some rice vinegar to remove the fishy smell, brushed it with soy sauce, and put it there.

"Is this the end?" Yang Ruolan asked curiously.

Yang Ruoqing said: "How is it possible? It's still raw. I'll let it taste first, and wait for its little partner."

"What buddy?"

"Boom boom boom boom... look here!"

Yang Ruoqing brought out a plate of big red dates from the cupboard.

These red dates looked like they had been soaked in water. Yang Ruoqing washed her hands and brought over two toothpicks.

She kept one for herself, and handed the other to Yang Ruolan: "Sister Lan'er, if you have nothing to do now, help me pick out the date pits first."

"Good!" Yang Ruolan took the toothpick, and the two sisters picked it together, talking and laughing.

Mrs. Sun was serving other dishes, and seeing the two sisters at the small table, her face was full of relief.

Soon, all the jujube pits were removed, and Yang Ruoqing brought a small bowl of soaked glutinous rice.

"Sister Lan'er, help me pour these glutinous rice into the dates." She said.

"okay."

Soon, the ingenious and handy sisters filled each jujube.

"What's next?" Yang Ruolan asked.

Yang Ruoqing shaped the glutinous rice and dates in the bowl with chopsticks, and poured a spoonful of honey water on top.

"Next, let them cook together in the pot."

Yang Ruoqing took home the multi-layered steamer that was specially used for steaming buns and steamed buns, put the fish maw and glutinous rice and dates into it separately, put them on the water stove, and let them start their journey...

……

The waiting process is always beautiful and full of expectations.

"Mother, when will Fifth Aunt and the others come over for dinner?" Yang Ruoqing suddenly asked Sun.

Bao Suyun didn't have a natal family, so she had long regarded Sun's place as her natal family.

Every first lunar month, I would come to Yang Huazhong's house to pay New Year's greetings. This kind of New Year's greetings is deeper than that between brothers.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Mrs. Sun thought for a while, and said, "I originally planned to come over this afternoon, and I just happened to meet with Mei'er and the others."

"On New Year's Eve, your fifth aunt had a dream about her late mother."
