Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 57

Yuan Baoniang sighed softly: "Do you think Wanwan and Baishou don't know about it?" After a pause, her tone was a little heavy: "Over the past 20 years, there have been some bad rumors in the village. What is the situation with Baishou? It’s not that I don’t know. Who is not afraid of death, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Now it is gradually confirmed that the rumors in the village are false. Although their family is close to money, it is better than Baishouren. You see, Wanwan sometimes lives well It's easier than us, Baishou treats her like a treasure, her face is rosy, and she is full of energy. And those fortune tellers who are very accurate say that Wanwan is an auspicious person. In my opinion, Baishou's luck will be better Get up. Wanwan is a good girl. In order to let the village accept Baishou, she has a good temper with everyone, and she will help anyone who can help, so these women are greedy for a little bit. Since they are willing to go, Wouldn't it be a good thing to prove that everyone started to accept Baishou? So, let's not worry about it, they know how to do it."

Shitou Niang couldn't help nodding when she heard that, thinking that she always had a sullen face when she met Baishou before, but now she always smiles every time she sees him!This is also a miserable man!

The two reached the fork while talking, and then went home.

After the few people left, Wanwan put the remaining blood and fat intestines into bowls, and there were more intestines left, and there was no afterlife
Come over, think about it, eat two more mouthfuls and you won't grow meat, so I packed half of it and prepared to send it to Laisheng's house. I went to the yard and called Baishou who was cleaning in the forest.

After closing the door, the two went down the mountain together and went to Laisheng's house.

Wanwan never thought that there are people in this village who are poorer than her family.The next life and his grandfather moved here from other places. When they arrived here, with the help of everyone, they built three thatched huts and a chicken coop next to them.

This is poorer than her family!
When he arrived, Lai Sheng was feeding the chickens in the yard. He was very happy to see the two of them. He also saw the dishes on Wan Wan's hands. Before she could speak, he immediately took them and ran into the house and poured them into a bowl. The speed was clean and neat.It left her speechless for a while, this person is too self-conscious!

Hearing the voice, Laisheng's grandfather came out of the house, and asked Laisheng to hold a stool for the two of them to sit down: "It's dark in the room, just sit in this yard."

"It's okay, we made some fat sausages at night, and sent some over."

The grandfather of the next life covered his mouth with his fist and coughed twice, thanking them both.

Seeing that his complexion was not very good, Wanwan asked, "Grandpa in the next life, are you feeling well?"

Grandpa Laisheng thumped his chest, nodded and said: "I've been feeling a little uncomfortable for the past two days, it's an old problem."

"What's wrong? Didn't you see a doctor?" Wan Wan said.The illness of the elderly cannot be neglected.

"I've seen it, it's useless. I'm old and useless." Grandpa Laisheng said with a smile.

A few years ago when he was working in the field, he still fainted in the field. Fortunately, someone from the village passed by at that time, otherwise he would be alone in the next life now!

Wan Wan thinks that the cough may have something to do with the lungs just by looking at the surface, but the technology was backward in ancient times, so even if the root cause of the disease is known, it may be difficult to cure.Besides, there will be a lot of medical bills.After saying a few words, let the next life take good care of his grandfather, the two returned home.

On the way home, Baishou held Wanwan, neither of them spoke.She really didn't expect that her family in her next life would be poorer than her own family. After thinking about it carefully, she was right. She was out of her mind in her next life and couldn't earn any money. The family depended entirely on her grandpa, who not only worked in the fields, but also raised chickens at home. It is estimated that the helper is sick.

Their family doesn't have much money, but it's a good thing to help out. After all, Laisheng and his grandfather are the first people in the whole village who are willing to accept their husband and wife.He said: "Baishou, why don't we raise the salary in the next life?"

Baishou looked at his daughter-in-law's red face, it was already half dark, and the temperature was lower than during the day, he stopped, and held his daughter-in-law's face with both hands, the place where his palms touched was cold, and looked at her distressedly: "Daughter-in-law, Is it freezing?" Then he exhaled with both hands, and rubbed her face lightly, but Baishou had been working for a long time, and there were many thick calluses on her hands, which made her face feel uncomfortable and a little painful, so she grabbed her face. He wrapped his hands around himself and said, "Let's go home quickly." It's really cold outside.

Baishou breathed out again with the hand wrapping her around her, rubbed her little hands twice to warm them up, held her face again and gave a mouthful, her lips were also icy, the daughter-in-law was really froze, and led her to speed up her pace towards home, Bian said: "Let's heat the brazier when we get home." After a pause, Wanwan heard him say again: "Add as much as you want!"

When she got home, Wanwan didn't let Baishou burn the brazier. The kitchen was cooking just now, and there was still some heat. She grilled her hands by the stove, and there was not much carbon in the clay pot, so she had to save it!After Baishou had prepared the meal, Wanwan followed to the main room, closed the door, and ate dinner quickly.

Washing the dishes and boiling hot water were naturally rushed by Baishou again, and Ben Ben's feet were a little stiff, and he kept jumping in the kitchen, feeling happy and wanting to cry.Baishou loves her and doesn't let her work, but the more she doesn't work, the colder she gets!

After finally boiling the hot water, her frowning brows finally relaxed after soaking in the hot water. It is wonderful to sleep and soak her feet in winter!And Baishou burned the charcoal basin and put it inside.

When Wan Wan went into the house and went to bed, the room was almost warm, Bai Shou was such a caring and good husband, so he rewarded him with a slap in the face!
Baishou touched his face and laughed.It has been many days since the first night with his daughter-in-law, and every night when he hugs his daughter-in-law, his heart is so itchy!The tent was kept up all night until dawn. In the past two days, I finally saw that my daughter-in-law's face was more rosy, her spirit was better, and her body was not uncomfortable. Baishouhou hurriedly washed her feet, then closed the door, went to bed, and went to sleep.

As soon as she jumped onto the bed, she hugged Wanwan in her arms, and began to slap her face, mouth, and neck... Finally, of course, there was another body movement!
****
They were busy for the past two days, and they didn't go to the market again. On the second day, after breakfast, Baishou went to Yuanbao's house. Today, it's time to help the other two families butcher pigs!And Wanwan stayed at home and started smoking bacon.Looking at two large pots of meat, and a large pot of bones and ribs, it was like seeing white silver, she was very motivated to take out all kinds of seasonings that had been prepared in advance.

She has already figured out how to do it, leave a little lean meat, and when the time comes, she will have to fill it with sausages, marinate the ribs into sauce meat, and take a part of the pork to make sauce meat as well. This is better than the bacon. The taste is stronger, I just don't know if the people here can accept it.Other pork is directly made into smoked meat.

In ancient times, smoked meat was also made, but its popularity is not as good as in modern times. The fine salt used by Wanwan is added with various seasonings, and it has a full fragrance.It smells better!Therefore, the shopkeeper who smoked wild boar last time bought it without hesitation!

It is easiest to smoke the meat directly, spread the salt evenly, and in order to increase the taste, Wanwan also squeezed out the ginger juice, spread a little evenly, and wait for the smoked meat to be ready; it is time to prepare the sauced meat.Sauce meat is a little more troublesome, it needs more condiments and is heavier.

She thought for a long time to make this sauced meat. She went to the market to buy soybeans, steamed them and fermented them to make a sauce. In modern recipes for making sauced meats, we call it sweet noodle sauce.This kind of sauce is more complicated than red sauce. It has to be fermented, just like making red tofu in modern rural areas.

But it is precisely because of the specialness of this sweet noodle sauce that people in this era can't think of it.

In addition to sweet noodle sauce, she also needs chili, Chinese prickly ash, fennel and so on. She searched the whole market for some condiments but couldn’t find them. Later, she found them at a passing merchant from other places. No one usually buys these things, but it’s okay. It was cheap, so Wanwan bought all those condiments.

Put all the seasonings in a basin and mix them evenly with soy sauce, and then spread the seasonings evenly on the meat. After spreading the meat, put the meat in the basin to marinate for five days, turning it over every day.Finally, use something to hang the meat outside in a ventilated place, and let it dry to [-]%!

It's like roasting chicken legs, you have to make the seasoning fully absorbed by the chicken, so that the fried things can be more flavorful and delicious!
The same principle and method as making sauced ribs!
After finishing all the meat, Wanwan took the unused condiments back to the kitchen, and when she came out after washing her hands, she saw two people standing in the main room.

Yuan Baoniang and Shitou Niang looked at the ribs in the big basin curiously.

"Is this the sauced ribs you made?"

"Yeah, when did you come here, I don't know?" Wanwan wiped his hands on his clothes and said to the two.

"I saw you go to the kitchen when I came up! We saw the big pots of meat in this room, so we didn't go over to call you." Yuan Baoniang said.

Wanwan invited the two to sit down, and gave them the prepared seasoning for the sauced meat: "This is the sauce needed for the sauced pork ribs. You don't want it to be too spicy, and you put less chili in it."

"Okay, thank you very much, Wanwan, and I know those people are not used to eating spicy food. Anyway, our family can't eat chili." Shitou Niang said.

Both families raised a few pigs. According to previous years, the two families were going to sell all the pigs. After seeing Ben Wan several times to make money, the two couples discussed and decided to follow Ben Wan and kill a pig. Make it into smoked meat and sell it. The ribs are made into sauced ribs according to the method Wanwan said. They don't know how it tastes. However, I heard that Wanwan has already discussed with the restaurant. Even if you earn less money, The two families would not mind either.After all, when it comes to finding money, others only tell you the method, and it is up to you whether you want to do it or not.Since I decided to do it myself, if I earn less, I can’t blame others!
The two thanked Wanwan, and finally Yuan Baoniang pointed to the basket on the table and said: "This is the bone that was picked out. We have divided the three families. There are so many things that one family can't finish. You can make soup at noon." !"

Wanwan immediately put on a bitter face: "We still have a big pot of bone soup left."

"Yeah, it's time to kill our family in the afternoon, but she still sent it to our house." Shitou Niang also said.

Yuan Baoniang looked at Shitouniang with a smile and said, "Don't you still have an old man and an old lady in your family?" Then she glanced at Wanwan: "The bones picked out in the afternoon, send them to their home!"

Wanwan stared immediately, and brought over a big basket, wouldn't their family have to eat soup for a week?Although both families only slaughtered one pig, that pig was much fatter than hers.

Shitou Niang smiled: "Anyway, I will give each of you a basket when the time comes."

The bones that Yuan Baoniang brought over hadn't boiled the soup, so she ate the leftovers from yesterday's soup at noon.

Baishou went to Shitou's house in the afternoon.Wanwan put a long stick between the two benches in the main room, and then hung all the meat on the long stick. It had to be blown on the first day, and then smoked the next day.

Then she went to Yuan Bao's house.After a while, Shitou Niang also came, and the two helped Yuan Baoniang to start marinating meat.
