Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 88 September, News

The deer brought back by Yang Weimin was removed from the fur and bones, and distributed to Yuan's 40 kg of venison. Although the weather has gradually turned cold, the temperature is still not low. If the venison does not do anything, put it in the backyard. The storage time in a cool place is not long. Yuan Shi thought about it, and left about 10 catties for stewing and eating, and the remaining 30 catties of Yuan Shi prepared to make bacon and store it.

Yang Weibai's arm dislocation is not serious, but as the old saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt one's muscles and bones. Even in the busy farming season in ancient times, it is impossible to really rest for a hundred days, but at least the whole month including October, Yang Weibai can't do it. For rough work, for the convenience of Yang Weibai's walking, Chunqiu deliberately borrowed those wooden brackets from the previous life, fixed her father's left arm, and wrapped a white cloth around her neck, so that her father can do some odd jobs.

Before making bacon, Yang Weibo came to cut the meat, but this time her father hurt his arm, although it was not the right arm, but it was inconvenient. In the end, Yang Weimin came over to help cut the bacon.

Yuan first cleaned the venison with clean water, and then Yang Weibo came over and cut the venison into large pieces about five inches square and about an inch and a half thick.

Chunqiu took out the previous seasonings from the small kitchen, such as pepper, aniseed, spices, cinnamon, and cloves, and put them all into the boiling pot. The boiling water exudes a fragrance of aniseed ingredients. The large pieces were piled up in the pot, and then the chopped green onions, garlic, and appropriate amount of salt were put into it.Finally, Yuan added white water to it, submerging all the meat.

"Niu Niu, lower the heat." After Yuan's explanation, seeing that the meat was almost cooked, he poured in the bean paste from the previous home, besides that, he added a little soy sauce and vinegar.

It takes a long time to make bacon, and the process is also very cumbersome. Mrs. Yuan turns the pot every half an hour, and it takes about two to four hours to cook for Chunqiu to stand upright and cook the meat.

Because the meat is cooked on a slow fire, the oil layer from the venison is tightly covered on the broth, and the flavor of the seasoning in the pot can also be fully absorbed into the meat, so it not only smells delicious, but also tastes delicious.

After the venison is cooked and out of the pan, it is officially smoked.

The pot used by Yuan this time is another one at home. Yuan Shi first drains the oil soup from the meat, and then puts the scooped meat carefully on the iron grate in the pot. Put a few ounces of cypress sawdust in the pot, then cover the pot, instruct Chunqiu to heat it on low heat for about 15 minutes, lift the lid, and the delicious bacon will appear in Chunqiu's eyes.

"Mother, I want to eat" Chunqiu felt his mouth was drooling, smelling the smell of bacon not far away, Chunqiu felt his stomach growl.

"Hehe, eat this when it's dry, and mother will stew venison for you later, it's sure to be more delicious than this bacon," Yuan said with a smile.

"Really?" Chunqiu stared at the freshly baked bacon, and asked other words in his mouth.

"Really, there are still some pastries in the room, let's eat them." Yuan Shi patted Chunqiu's little head.

"Then I'll go." After Chunqiu finished speaking, he ran out of the house and went back to the house. Mrs. Yuan took the finished bacon to the backyard to dry...

In the end, although Chunqiu didn't eat the bacon that he had been thinking about, he did eat the venison stewed by her mother, and because ten catties of meat was too much, they ate it for two days.

What a sweet burden, Chunqiu pinched the obvious fat on his face, with a helpless expression on his face!
At the end of September, her grandma Yang Lishi finally came back, but when she came back, Yang Lishi's complexion was not good. Gu Shi and Yuan Shi took a look. The income from the previous shop was not mentioned.

"Grandmother, what's the matter?" Chunqiu asked in a low voice as he stood behind Yang Lishi, watching Yang Lishi sitting at the doorstep and fiddling with the previous cloth.

Yang Lishi was simmering in her heart, and at this moment when she heard someone calling her, she felt even more impatient. She wanted to scold her directly, but when she looked back, it turned out that it was her good granddaughter Chunqiu. Looking at Chunqiu with a wide smile, what he wanted to say also turned a corner, "You...it's okay, good granddaughter, what do you want to do with grandma?" Chunqiu looked at grandma's black face, and absolutely believed that her granddaughter What I wanted to say before must have been scolding, um, if it was someone else, I would definitely be scolded by Mrs. Yang and Li.

"The meal is ready, grandma, let's go eat." Chunqiu smiled sweetly, and explained the purpose of coming here. It was Yuan who asked her to come out to call someone. After all, Yang and Li are in a bad mood now. Yuan had no choice but to let Chunqiu come out.

"Oh, okay." After hearing this, Mrs. Yang and Li quickly stood up from the steps, picked up the arranged cloth covers, patted her buttocks, and dragged Chunqiu into the house.

The venison for dinner is the bacon Yuan made before. Although the bacon is air-dried, it is convenient if it is cooked. Yuan just boiled the bacon in boiling water, waited until the bacon softened, and cut it into cubes. Put oil in the pot, add some sugar to color it, then add the meat and stir-fry, and finally put in water and add other seasonings, and serve it up after it is stuffy.

The venison in Gu's family was gone, except for the few catties left to eat, the rest was sold by Gu. This incident made Yang Weimin unhappy, and the husband and wife quarreled again. Chunhua also complained to Chunqiu, saying that her mother's meat was sold and she didn't eat much.

What else could Chunqiu say, so he could only comfort Chunhua to relax, and finally had to take out the pastry he had given as a gift and hand it to Chunhua, which stopped Chunhua from nagging.

After dinner, Mrs. Yang and Li didn't ask Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Yuan to clean up the table, but took Yang Weimin and his brothers and called them into the house. All the adults left, only Chunqiu and Chunqiu were left. Well, Chunni can't, this thing can't be kept, or Mrs. Gu will definitely scold her.

"Qiu'er, Hua'er, come and clean up." Chunni picked up the bowls and chopsticks at the side, and shouted at Chunhua Chunqiu at the side, Huzi and Xiaoshi had already disappeared, and besides, they had to do these tasks.

"Hey, come here" Chunqiu responded, and then brought the unfinished bacon to the cupboard in the kitchen, and kept it hot for tomorrow.

Chunhua was also helping with the work, the dishes and chopsticks were all washed by Chunni, after the two of them picked up the things, they moved the stool to the original place and cleaned it carefully.

"Okay, let's go out and play." Chunni glanced at the ground and nodded.

"Okay, third sister, come out and play with me, I just found a new fun game..." Chunhua said, pulling Chunqiu out of the door...

In the room on the other side, the atmosphere seemed a little tense.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Gu cried out in shock after hearing the news Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li brought back, "The Liangpi in our shop was made by someone else? Then can our family still make money? What can I do, mother?" Gu's voice became higher and higher, and the last words that she yelled deafened Yuan Shi who was closest to her. Withdrew.

Mrs. Yang Li came back with bad news. The cold noodle seller in the east of the town had already made the same cold noodle as hers. Mrs. Yang Li went to see it. Except for the almost sauce, everything else was exactly the same.

Mrs. Yang and Li understood that most of the families in Heishan Town were ordinary people, and they didn't pay much attention to food. The reason why I could come to her house to eat was because the one in the east of the town not only made bad cold noodles, but also had a good sauce. It's even worse than Yang's, but it's different now, their new cold noodle is no different from hers, not to mention their price is also a penny cheaper than Yang's, which directly leads to fewer people in Yang's shop Halfway, Mrs. Yang and Li were in a hurry, and lowered the price of Liangpi by another penny, which was the same as the price of the owner of the town. In this way, only two-thirds of the people were left, and the rest went into other people's shops, which was related to the profits of the shop. Well, it's a strange thing that Yang Li's face gets better.

It was precisely because Mrs. Yang and Li said the reason that Mrs. Gu lost her composure like this.In the past, even if Gu Shi was killed, he wouldn't dare to yell like this under the eyes of Yang Li Shi.

"You howling mourner, what the hell are you calling? I'm not dead, old lady." Yang Li's heart was already on fire. Seeing Gu's behavior, Yang Li directly sprayed back, "Old woman, what are you doing?" Isn't the price reduced? What are you howling here? Just stay." Yang Lishi (hen) finished Gushi, and stopped talking.

"Mother, what are you afraid of? Anyway, our business has only lasted for half a month." Yuan smiled and said in relief, "Mother, the cucumbers are almost gone now, and this Liangpi won't last long. Instead of blaming others here, Why don't you think of some other food ideas? After the autumn harvest, the shop can't be idle all the time."

Yuan's words touched Yang Li's heart, and Yang Li's anger was partly due to Liangpi when he came back, but he was more worried that he would not have the next food. You must know that after the autumn harvest, before the spring of the coming year, that would be For three full months.

After listening to Yuan Shi's words, Yang Lishi looked at Yuan Shi with satisfaction, or the second daughter-in-law was better born and knew more, and she was less worried than the eldest daughter-in-law with shallow eyesight, and she was not as bad as the eldest daughter-in-law Xin Xin's natal family, how much Yang Li's disliked Yuan's background before, now she is so proud of Yuan's background, nothing else, just because she has to go to their Yang family.

"...Mom, is this a food idea? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Mrs. Gu looked at Mrs. Yang and Li with some embarrassment. If she could come up with other ideas, why would she bother to stare at that damn girl Chunqiu these days? After so many days, she didn't find anything, which made Gu's unwilling.

"Is that thing on your neck white? Huh? A decoration? It won't work."

"I... isn't there a Qiu'er girl here? How can we be used?" Gu was speechless by Yang and Li, so he had to raise Chunqiu.

"How old are you? Ah?! Qiu'er is only so old, you don't feel ashamed, old woman, I am ashamed for you, shameless things, are you waiting for Qiu'er? Does Qiu'er owe you or should you, Huh? Selling a niece is not the way to sell it..." Gu's words directly hit Yang and Li's line of fire, blowing up Yang and Li's.

Yuan Shi was a little angry at first, but seeing her mother-in-law defending Qiu'er so much, she didn't say anything more, she just lowered her head.

"...Okay, you all have an idea in your heart, the money will be given to you, and then get out of here, it's all life-threatening things..." Yang Li said cursingly, and threw all the money in the box to Gu Afterwards, Yuan Shi threw several people out, and closed the door with a bang, leaving several people at the door looking at each other in blank dismay.

Mrs. Gu knew that the second and second couple who were hot with her unconscious words before were not happy, so she did not say anything tactfully, and returned to the Westinghouse after pulling away the dull Yang Weimin. Through the door of the opposite house...

Chunqiu was playing clapping board game with Huzi in the house, looking at Yuan Shi and Yang Weibo who came in, Chunqiu put down the red palm that was beaten by Huzi, and asked curiously, "Mother, what's wrong with grandma? You came back earlier not happy”

"The shop...it's nothing, children, go to bed quickly." Yuan Shi just wanted to tell her daughter about the shop, but her tone changed and she didn't say anything.

"What? What happened to the shop?" Chunqiu frowned and looked at Yuan Shi.

"Go to sleep, the shop is fine, your uncle will go to the shop tomorrow," Yang Weibo interjected.

"...Oh" Chunqiu nodded, still a little puzzled in her heart, her parents must have something to hide from her, but if they don't talk about it, can she not know?Naive, I will ask Grandma tomorrow.

"Okay...don't play anymore, it's getting late, go to bed quickly." Looking at the half-burned lamp oil, Yuan urged the two of them to get on the kang.

Huzi Chunqiu, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end they all succumbed to Yuan's despotic power, and honestly undressed and got into bed.

Picking up the wooden stick beside the wick, Yuan Shi directly crushed the wick above his head, the flames jumped frequently, and finally fell into the darkness...

The next day Chunqiu woke up very early this time, listening to the sound of the door and the sound of the wheels fading away, Chunqiu was overjoyed, her aunt finally left, although she was reluctant to play with her nice Chunhua Sister, but compared to being followed by her uncle all day long, this reluctance can be ignored.

Sister Chunni didn't go with her this time. She was old enough to not show her face easily. It happened that Mrs. Yang and Li were at home, so she could guide her in needlework and the like.

When Chunqiu woke up in the morning, she was very refreshed, and she didn't need to worry about dressing and washing. Yuan looked on and was constantly amazed in her heart. It's really unexpected that a girl who usually stays in bed woke up so early this time.

Chunqiu not only got up early this time, but also ran several laps around the big pear tree in the yard for the first time, and made an appointment to exercise. Well, the first day when the auntie was away, the air was extraordinarily fresh.

Since then, Chunqiu's happy life has officially kicked off.

Uh uh, no, there was still a small accident. Yang Li didn’t pay attention to it yesterday, and the light was a bit dim at night, so naturally she didn’t notice the injury on her father’s arm. As a result, when she had breakfast today, Yang Li Seeing the white cloth on his son's neck and the wooden board on his arm, he exploded.

Because of this incident, her father was scolded by her grandma for an entire hour, and Yang Weibo felt wronged, but who made him have an accident, so he had to nod and bow down obediently to make amends. The son was sent back again, and he was also told not to do heavy work, making her father feel at a loss as to what to do. Chunqiu watched from the sidelines and refused to comment...
