Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 172 Forgetfulness
The end of the year is approaching in a blink of an eye, and it's time to make bacon.Prepared the ingredients needed for the sauced meat, and in a responsible manner, spread the bacon and sausages in the first few days. She still followed, because the child was still breastfeeding, Baishou had to put down what she was doing, and followed Wanwan to Zhuangzi On the morning, the two left, and the only one left in the next life was worried at home. He could have had dinner at the village chief's house, but when this kid got angry, only Baishou and Wanwan could handle it.Finally had to take him.

This time there are [-] more pigs than last year. It seems that all parts of the capital are selling well.Now the contracting price of Wanwan is three taels of silver per pig, and the wages are naturally five hundred copper coins, and there are other rewards depending on the meticulous work done.Moreover, this time the sausage bend has also added a new flavor, which in our modern terms is Cantonese flavor, except that there is no pepper in it, and a little peanut is added, which has a different taste and is more suitable for northerners.

And this time, she had already discussed with shopkeeper Yu, and prepared dozens of fresh chickens and ducks to make cured chicken and duck.

There is also a new method for the bacon, which is to smear the fried ingredients. The ingredients are very simple, salt and ginger and other condiments, and then smeared, without smoking, and directly dried in the sun.The taste is different from smoked bacon again.

Because several new things were added and no manpower was added, the work was slow this time, and it took a full four days to finish all the cured goods.During this period, the next life has been with the two of them. Fortunately, he is very obedient. Sometimes he is asked to help with simple tasks, otherwise he is allowed to watch the children.A large group of people shouted, but no one in Zhuangzi paid special attention to him.

Shopkeeper Yu came over to have a look once in a while, and Wanwan explained to him in detail the differences of various preserved goods.Shopkeeper Yu immediately praised: "Why didn't anyone discover such a simple thing?" Then he boasted: "You have this skill, which is better than those small merchants in the market. You can live without showing your face every day. days of abundance."

Wanwan showed a wry smile: "Master Yu, you are flattering me too much. You don't know, since the child was born, most of the family's energy has been devoted to him. There is a lot of work inside and outside the house, and Baishou has no time to do other things. Yes, if we had you to take care of us here and have some income, life would be even more difficult for our family."

Shopkeeper Yu smiled, Wanwan didn't have a mother-in-law, and Baishou was a pain in the ass, so in order not to tire her, Baishou really might not go out.After thinking for a while, he said, "You and Brother Baishou are people who know how to live, why don't you find a place to do business?"

In fact, Wanwan had this idea long ago. Hearing shopkeeper Yu say this, he immediately said: "We have thought about it too, but I have no experience with Baidu and I don't know what kind of business is easy to do in this market. If you really want to do business, you have to go to Rent a shop in the market, Baishou and I went to see it when we were free, the rent is really not cheap, and our family doesn’t have that much money to buy a storefront, and we opened a shop in the market, so people have to keep vigil every day , Baishou and I are the only ones at home, and Baishou will inevitably have to do some work, so this is also a problem."

Shopkeeper Yu nodded as he listened.

"Shopkeeper Yu, you have a lot of experience and knowledge, do you have any good suggestions?" Wan Wan said.

Shopkeeper Yu pondered for a moment: "It's not bad to do transportation business now. Many people go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to buy silk, or sell salt in other places, or buy exotic things and sell them in the capital, where there are many rich people. , as long as your things are good, you don’t have to worry about the price. However, salt is fine, silk costs too much, you can consider buying some rare things and take them to the capital.”

It sounds a little feasible, but: "But we haven't been to that place in the capital, it doesn't matter, and the supply of goods is also a problem."

"It's not difficult. I know some people who are engaged in this business, and my young master is familiar with them. If you are willing, I will ask him for you next time the young master comes, or directly introduce one or two experts for you." The shopkeeper said with a smile.It's just a little bit of effort.

"Ah, thank you so much, but I have to go home and discuss this with Baishou." Doing business is no small matter.

"It's okay, don't be in a hurry, when you want to do it, just say it."

That's the benefit of having connections.After returning home, Wanwan discussed with Baishou for a whole night and still couldn't decide whether to do it or not. If he did, he would have to take out all the money at home.Even if it was done, it would definitely depend on the young master of the Xie family. Anyway, it was the Chinese New Year, and it was estimated that the young master Xie would not come for the time being, so the two put the matter on hold.

After finishing all the cured goods, Wanwan stayed at home to take care of the children, and Baishou took people to Zhuangzi to finish the rest of the work.She estimated that when the time was around the corner, she would go to test the results again.

This time, in addition to the wages they deserved, each person in Wanwan gave an extra [-] copper coins as a reward. For those who performed particularly well, of course, they were rewarded.Everyone is happy.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, every household cleaned the house clean, and they were busy for several days. People felt more festive during the busyness. The joy came to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Tomorrow is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. Hesitating whether to bring students along.

Ouyang's family has already arranged funeral affairs for the next life, but now the next life is in Yangjia Village, and if the body is not buried, Ouyang's family will definitely send people to look for it.There were a lot of people going to the market on New Year's Eve, presumably the Ouyang family would no longer send people to investigate, but she was still worried.Baishou also felt that he should stay at home in his next life.

Before the two of them could decide, the next life took the initiative to express his thoughts.

"Sister-in-law take me with you when you go to the market tomorrow. I'll bring my bamboo hat. Remember to remind me to buy some fruit tomorrow."

This is also the first time to ask for it after returning from the next life, and it is a good idea to bring a bamboo hat.However, they were surprised that he wanted to buy fruit.

"Why buy fruit?"

"Aren't you allowed to worship your ancestors during the [-]th night? I want to buy some fruits for my grandfather. He has never eaten anything good in his life."

Listening to this, Wanwan felt a little touched. Not only did Grandpa in the next life not eat any good food, but he probably never had a good day, but for some reason, she felt that the words of the next life were weird. Thinking about it again, It seems that the words are right again.

Seeing Wan Wan responding, the next life said again: "Sister-in-law, can you buy some more meat to pay homage to grandpa."

Wan Wan was stunned: "Yes! But... didn't we buy wine in the past?" She also mentioned that meat should be served as sacrifices before, but in the next life she would not allow it, saying that Grandpa's favorite is wine.

"If brother wants to drink at night, let's make some, and then we can make up our minds, and we don't need to have wine festivals every year."

"Oh." It seems to be true, Wan Wan absent-mindedly replied, but she was thinking that if there is no wine sacrifice, then how can she coax the next life to say that his grandfather has already eaten?The wine can evaporate overnight, what about the meat and fruit?
But this kid often thinks it's right when he comes out, so he obeys him.

Early the next morning, people in the village began to go to the market in twos and threes. The weather was beautiful, with thick clouds pressing down on the top of the head, and the gloomy sky seemed to be about to rain, just for the next life to wear a bamboo hat.After closing the door and catching up with the cattle, the family of four walked out of the village slowly, and Wanwan sat on the cart with the child in his arms. The little guy was about seven months old, lying in Wanwan's arms and looking around, still eying. Talking, very cute.

At the market, I met a lot of villagers, their hands were full of New Year’s goods, Baishou specially gave Laisheng [-] Wen, and asked him to buy some food that he liked. I didn’t expect this kid to be considerate, so he took the money and bought it first. I bought two meat buns, and then tore off a little to give to the child, but was stopped by Wanwan: "He is too young, he can only eat milk, not this. You can eat it by yourself!"

In the next life, Duduzui withdrew his hand regretfully.

Several people happily bought all the things. Thinking of what happened last night, they took the next life to the fruit stand, asked the price and let the next life choose by themselves.But Laisheng shook his head, raised the candied fruit in his hand, and said, "I have this, but I don't really like fruits."

Wanwan glanced at him: "I didn't buy it for you specially, it's an offering for your grandfather at night."

"Ah? Shall we stop buying wine?" Lai Sheng asked with wide-eyed eyes.

This time it was Wanwan's turn to be surprised: "Didn't you say last night that you don't want to have a wine festival this year?"

In the next life, he looked a little confused, blinked his eyes, and then said "oh".

Both Wanwan and Baishou looked at him strangely, and Wanwan even reached out to touch his forehead, not sick.I was even more puzzled: "Did you forget?"

Laisheng scratched his head, lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "I seem to have forgotten."

Wanwan and Baishou looked at each other, why did this sound so strange?Could it be that this kid has amnesia?
After shopping and going back, the two observed him all the way, fighting and fighting, just like before.I had to put aside my doubts again.

When they were away in the next life, they were worried about whether he would have a happy new year. Now that he is back, although they have suffered a bit, the two of them are relieved and at the same time very happy. The family is much more lively.

At the market in the morning, when passing by "Fusheng Restaurant", Wanwan had a whim, why the New Year's Eve dinner must follow the tradition, wouldn't it be more interesting to get something special, and also, she suddenly thought that since she had a relationship with Xie's family, With this level of employment relationship, why not make good use of it.There are so many modern delicacies, if you can make cured goods, you can also make other things!For example: BBQ.

Incorporate a modern society rotisserie.But there are some seasonings in this era, so she has to try the taste with the existing seasonings first.This idea was immediately approved by Baishou, especially in the next life, when he heard that there was food, which he had never heard of, he immediately prepared something.Vegetables and meat have been bought at the market, and when they got home, Baishou followed Wan Wan's instructions and cut a lot of bamboo sticks with Laisheng, and then put the sliced ​​meat and vegetables on a skewer one by one.Because he only got a certain amount of income, Baishou bought some special charcoal for warming fires, which was not as good as the silver frost charcoal used by rich people, but better than the charcoal they saved themselves.The saved carbon is taken out for barbecue.

As the sky gradually darkened, Wanwan still cooked some rice and stir-fried vegetables as usual.Then cook the small piece of meat specially reserved, and use it to worship the grandpa in the next life at night.

The child was sitting in a small wooden cart, which was tied to the door of the main room, and Baishou was cleaning the chicken coop with a broom. Tomorrow was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he would have to rest for several days before he could sweep the floor.Lai Sheng sat next to him and looked up at the sky blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

I didn't prepare a barbecue rack, so I had to find two wooden blocks and put them around the carbon basin. Then I would put the skewered meat and vegetables on it and grill them. After Baishou cleaned up the things that needed to be packed, I could eat.
