The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 87

Niu Xiaohua nodded movedly, obediently did not go against her wishes, and continued to lie on the bed and sleep.

Shen Sisi put the medicine on her bedside, and went to the kitchen. He Axiu had already steamed the rice and fish with chopped peppers, and also fried a few side dishes, and some braised pork, which smelled really delicious.

He Axiu smiled and said, "Tell your father to go, dinner is ready."

"Yeah." Shen Sisi sniffed her nose with a smile, and said with a smile: "Mother, I've wiped the medicine, you can make some soup and rice for Xiaohua and send it to her..."

"Well, I'll serve it." He Axiu responded and went to get it.

Shen Sisi went out of the kitchen and began to move the table, called Zhong Gensheng who was cleaning the newly bought jars in the yard, and said, "Father, it's time to eat..."

Zhong Gensheng responded, put down the jar and walked over, said with a smile: "These jars are very useful..."

"Accumulate sauerkraut, make wine, pickle fruits, pickle pickles, and eat spring bamboo shoots in spring..." Shen Sisi thought about his plans one by one, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I don't have enough for the future..."

Zhong Gensheng was taken aback, and said with a smile: "How long will it take to eat? There are so many people in the family coming to eat?!"

Shen Sisi giggled, and said, "Father, you don't want to have grandchildren anymore? Your son won't start a family anymore?! There will be more people in the family in the future. At that time, this family will only be more lively and smaller. These... No amount of pickling is enough to eat..."

Zhong Gensheng smiled when he heard the words, and said: "That's a good thing, your mother and I will enjoy a lot of happiness when the time comes..."

After He Axiu delivered the meal, he called Dabao and Sibao to come over for lunch. Lunch is always relatively simple in Zhong's house, but for ordinary people, it is very good, let alone rice today .

"Mom, let's have a banquet in the house the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is a good day. Plus, if you don't eat the vegetables you bought today, it won't be good to keep them for a long time..." Shen Sisi said while holding a bowl.

He Axiu smiled and said, "I'll just listen to you, and I'll be in charge of cooking when the time comes."

"Success..." Zhong Gensheng responded, and said with a smile: "When Butcher Wang comes this afternoon, I will tell him that I will kill two pigs tomorrow."

"It's just that the fish is more difficult..." Shen Sisi smiled and said: "The big deal is that Dabao bought some from the city and brought them back to kill and marinate first, and it's the same for using the day after tomorrow. I originally wanted to fish in the river, but no one said that I only fished a few. If I fished too much, I was afraid that it would arouse the anger of the people in the village. Now that the Chinese New Year is getting closer, people in the village Every family is looking forward to catching fish to share the fish, how can we just watch our family catch so many fish, so it is better to buy it to save trouble, father, mother, what do you think..."

He Axiu nodded and said: "There is no need to take advantage of this, so as not to let the people in the village talk about it."

Dabao nodded and said, "I'll buy it tomorrow, Tu Niu, give me the count..."

Zhong Gensheng said: "I'll go to the village to inform and see how many people are coming, and I'll count them for you, don't worry..."

When the Zhong family entered the house, only people from the village could come, but no relatives.Zhong Gensheng’s grandfather fled to settle down here. His sons died on the way, and only Zhong Gensheng’s father remained. No one would talk about it, his father only gave birth to him and his elder brother, and his elder brother and his father and mother were working in the city, because this city was far away from this mountain city, and it was even more impossible for him to get the notification, knowing that they were related to him. I have an average relationship, let alone notify.So Zhong Gensheng has no relatives here.

This is especially the case with He Axiu's family. Originally, her natal family was also in a village not far away, but the drought eight years ago caused her natal family to suffer too. They died and fled. There was no one in the past eight years. I'm afraid it's more ominous than good luck. It's not that He Axiu didn't want to look for it, but... where to look for it, because there was no news, and He Axiu gradually gave up, so she also has no relatives here.

After all, the drought eight years ago was not a disaster for his family, it was the case for many other families. Even if other families in the village did not suffer much, the living conditions have plummeted a lot compared to eight years ago, except for those with a particularly well-to-do family. .

So Zhong Gensheng didn't know exactly how many people would come, so he went out of the courtyard after eating, and went to notify each family to figure out how many people would come.

The food is enough to eat, and there is a lot of food at home, because he bought a lot, thinking that if he can't eat it, he can keep it for himself to eat slowly, and there will be no shortage of meat, but fish is hard to buy, and he is afraid that he will buy less If you don’t pay enough, buy too much but waste it, and feel sorry for the money, it is natural to calculate it.

Zhong Gen was born, and when Butcher Wang came, Shen Sisi had no choice but to tell him that he wanted him to kill two pigs tomorrow. When he heard that Zhong's family was going to enter the house the day after tomorrow, Butcher Wang hurriedly said with a smile: "I will also come to support the show the day after tomorrow." , have a big feast..."

Shen Sisi knew that he was trying to save face for his family, so he smiled and said: "Uncle Wang can come, that's the best, we are also happy if the house is more lively, let's enter the house, it just needs to be lively..."

Butcher Wang was even more happy when he heard that, and he was thinking about how many gifts he would have to follow tomorrow, so that his business could last longer if he got closer to the Zhong family.

"Uncle Wang, one of the pigs that will be killed tomorrow will be used for the day after tomorrow's banquet, and the other will be used as braised pork for the day after tomorrow. It's just that the pigs that are big and the day after tomorrow can't be killed until the day after tomorrow. Do you have something to do, can you spare time the night after tomorrow?!" Shen Sisi said with a smile.

"Sure, it's a one-sentence matter, I don't have much work anyway..." Wang Butcher smiled and agreed, and then went to catch pigs and kill them.

Shen Sisi followed behind him to pick up the pig's blood.

He Axiu had already gone to the backyard to cultivate a vegetable patch.Sibao is chopping firewood, while Dabao is washing the jars, trying to get some sauerkraut to eat in winter. The sauerkraut fish he ate yesterday was really delicious, it hooked his greedy worms, now he only needs to think of eating it He was very excited when he saw the delicious food made by Tu Niu.

When Zhong Gensheng came back, there was a smile on his face. Although he knew that every family looked at his family wealth when they smiled at him, everyone was willing to join in the excitement of their house. He was really happy. When he was poor before, even when his popularity was not so good, he didn't have any ideas. It's only when everyone smiles at him and gives him face, Zhong Gensheng understands what it means to be poor and short-sighted.

The poorer he is, the more he can't straighten his waist. Now, he is straight and straight. No matter which family sees him, he doesn't say hello. But there are smiles on their faces.

To be valued by others, Zhong Gensheng is an honest farmer, so he couldn't help being moved. He smiled happily: "Everyone in the village is here, Dabao. When I buy fish tomorrow, I will buy fifty big fish. It seems that I have to borrow Lao Gen's money." The donkey cart is used..."

Dabao responded and said, "Father, everyone is coming?!"

"Yeah..." Zhong Gensheng sighed, now when he entered the door of someone's house, they immediately came out to greet him, serving tea and water politely, and when he heard that his family was going to enter the house, everyone would come to join in the fun .

This point, Shen Sisi had already expected. Although she thought that every family might have people coming, she just didn't expect... everyone would come. It seems that the banquet the day after tomorrow is busy, so I just borrow the tables and benches Everyone will be exhausted.

Shen Sisi approached Dabao, and said: "The day after tomorrow, you will bring people to sell braised pork in the morning, and Sibao will stay at home, so let Sibao pay more attention to the kitchen, and don't let people get close to the brine in our house. It's not good if someone makes trouble. Yes, this brine has been stored for a long time, and the taste has come out. If it breaks, we have to store it again. How can the taste be as good as it is now?!

Dabao hurriedly responded, and said: "Understood, don't worry, when the time comes, I will ask Dabao to move the brine to the firewood room and lock the firewood room, who can get in?!"

"That's good..." Shen Sisi replied, and went to cook pig's blood cake with a smile.

Butcher Wang was very happy today. While killing the pig, he chatted with Zhong Gensheng for a few words. He didn't leave until Shen Sisi's pig blood cake came out of the pot, and he reluctantly left with a piece of pig blood cake...

While eating pork blood cake, Shen Sisi recalled the taste of the rice at noon. Although the rice still tasted as good as I remembered it, the cheapest but expensive sad rice tasted really average, not delicious. Yes, but it costs a whole eight cents a catty. She still wants to eat better. It seems... this is a luxury hope. For the money, buy good rice to eat, eat this rice, it is better to eat white noodles, roll some noodles or something, after all, white noodles are only five cents a catty, and the taste is much better than this inferior rice...

well.Money oh money... come to the bowl.

Shen Sisi eats pork blood cake dipped in chili and soy sauce. She is the one who made the sauce. She ground the chili and added some Chinese prickly ash, and then boiled it with sesame oil and sesame oil. When the aroma comes, pour it into the powder and add some minced garlic. This taste is delicious with anything...

But she didn't finish eating all of it, the family loved it, so she saved some for Four Treasures and the others...

Dabao started to marinate the meat, and the familiar smell gradually wafted out of the kitchen.

As soon as Shen Sisi put the stewed meat into the kitchen, he saw Tu Gen coming with Er Gouzi.He originally wanted Er Gouzi to come, but Er Gouzi felt ashamed and refused to come anyway, so he had to escort him here, hoping that Tu Niu would help Er Gouzi for the sake of Er Gouzi's work for her. He is busy.

"Gen Sheng... is your Tu girl here?!" Tu Gen looked embarrassed.

Zhong Gensheng was taken aback, and said, "Tu Gen, what's wrong?! The Tu girl is in the kitchen."

Tu Gen scratched his head, and said with a simple and honest smile: "... There are guests at home today, I thought I could buy some brine from your house?! Our family...is under pressure, so I want to buy some brine for myself Go back and marinate it, the meat will also have a stewed taste, and our family will save some money... Gensheng, you know, people like us have pressure to eat meat, let alone stewed meat, we also eat it I'm sorry..."

Er Gouzi felt so ashamed, he hummed and said, "...Father, you too..." But he was still reluctant to spend his own money to buy stewed pork, after all, a catty of stewed pork costs forty cents. This is what he earns for almost two days, and he eats a catty of meat. How can he be willing to... It's just that the local girl would occasionally give a piece of meat to beat his teeth for sacrifice, but now that he asks for it, Er Gouzi thinks It's such a shame.

After hearing this, Zhong Gensheng only smiled and said, "What's the matter, just ask Tu Niu to give you some."

Shen Sisi also came out with a smile and said: "Yeah, you don't need to pay, Er Gouzi does a good job, it's okay if I give you some brine..."

"Tu Niu, what can I do, I must give money..." Er Gouzi quit and said anxiously.
