Shanwa Small Rich Farmers

Hang Chen handed back the basket containing a basket of various snack bags to Mrs. You, who saw so many things, and immediately said politely: "I haven't brought enough, I'll carry it back. money."

   "It's not worth anything, it's just beans and peanuts! You have a lot of children in your family, and they just happened to be sent, and someone from my side also sent them here," Wen Wen said with a smile.

  At this time, we are talking about reciprocity, and it would be a bit vulgar to really calculate the value of it. Besides, who is short of food in Wenjia Village now? Not to mention now, even in the past, no one cared about these things. It was all the folks in the village who were so preoccupied and spread the word, who can afford to lose this person!

   "Then I'm leaving?" The second sister-in-law You just politely, knowing that warmth is not bad, and those who celebrate the Chinese New Year don't need to be too polite.

Just when Second Sister-in-law You was about to turn around, Li Yumei came out of the kitchen, holding a sea bowl in her hand, which was so full of meatballs that they couldn't be piled up: "Second sister-in-law, slow down, just fried them Rouyuanzi, this is the fruit of Erhua's labor!"

  While talking, Li Yumei walked to the side of Mrs. You, grabbed the basket with one hand and poured the **** into the basket with the other hand.

  People in the countryside don’t pay too much attention to it. Originally, almost all households used to store food in bamboo baskets, so it doesn’t matter whether the meatballs are dirty or not when they are poured into the basket.

   "Aunt, you..." Sister-in-law You said dumbfounded.

  Li Yumei said with a smile: "Your meatballs may not be as delicious as this time, because our family has a new laborer." She pointed her finger at Erhua who was still holding a wooden pestle over there.

   "Hey, Erhua can work now?" Second sister-in-law You heard Li Yumei's words and saw Erhua amused. At the same time, she reached out to touch a meatball and put it in her mouth.

After such a bite, I suddenly felt a refreshing smell of meat exploded in my mouth, and the gravy oozed out along the corner of my mouth. In a hurry, the second sister-in-law You immediately He bent down, raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

Standing up again, I was a lot more careful when biting this time. I felt that the taste was so delicious that my eyebrows jumped up: "It's really delicious, and there is almost no taste of ingredients. I bit the fried skin. , it’s full of meat paste, it’s so delicious. The meat paste flows into your mouth as soon as you bite it, it’s fresh and tender! Really, the dumplings in the restaurants in the village are not as good as yours.”

"Erhua's strength is great, the fat meat is smashed into juice, and the fibers of the lean meat are also smashed, and the whole meat is really smashed into a meat paste. How can a person have such great strength? Such a lot of patience to make meat like this," Li Yumei said with a smile.

"Thank you, auntie. I can't stay any longer. There are still things at home. The two daughters-in-law are preparing for the festival. I have to go to the side to watch a little bit, clumsy." Second sister-in-law You finished a meal Meatball, said after sticking out his finger in his mouth.

   "Then go slowly!"

   "Okay, Auntie, please stay and don't see me off, what are you doing so formally without looking up?"

  The two of them went out of the house while chatting like this, and after a few words, Li Yumei sent Second Sister You out of the house, and then turned back.

   "That's it, don't you have lunch?"

As soon as Li Yumei turned around, she found that Hang Chen was holding a small fried fish and gnawing on it. Not only Hang Chen, but Erhua also dropped their work and held a small fried fish in both hands, standing upright beautifully He was eating with his head tilted.

  Hang Chen said to Li Yumei while eating: "Mom, it's really delicious. It's very fresh. Bro, can't it be MSG?"

   Hearing this, Wen Xu stretched out his hand and tore off a piece of fried noodles from the fried fish in Hang Chen's hand. This thing is like fried chicken drumsticks of foreign fast food. If you want to tear off the skin at this time, there must be fish skin. Putting the noodles and fish skin into his mouth together, Wen Nu shook his head after tasting it.

"No! It's not the smell of MSG, it's the umami smell of river fish. The fish that is not fed with feed or antibiotics can be fried to produce this taste. Second sister-in-law's frying quality of small fish is really amazing." Wen Xu said and stretched out his hand to go Hang Chen tore off another piece of the fried fish in his hand.

  It's a pity that the girl turned around and gave Wen Xu the back of her head: "If you want to eat, go get it yourself, why eat mine!"

Li Yumei came to the table at this time, took out a small fried fish from the wooden basin, pinched the two ends with both hands, separated the small fried fish from the middle, and kept the small fish with the head part for herself. The big and meaty part was handed over to Wen Xu.

   "Well, it's really good. I haven't eaten fried fish for a long time." After taking a bite, Li Yumei also praised it.

  Wen Xu asked curiously after hearing this: "Aunt, does your hometown also have small fried fish?"

"We don't call it fried fish, we call it noodles. There is only one kind of fish. Even the wrapped fish has different sizes. The big ones are bigger than this one, and the small ones are just some small fish fingers, which are crispy. Hey, it’s like what big fish eat is umami!... At that time, everyone was poor, and the staple foods such as white noodles and rice were quite rare, which is probably the way it is eaten in many places,” Li Yumei said.

  Li Yumei was just remembering bitterness and thinking about sweetness, when another voice sounded from the yard: "Is Daxu at home?"

Wen Xu heard that Lu Xiu, the daughter-in-law of the third elder brother Wen Shida, came, and immediately walked to the door, opened the door and said to Lu Xiu who was in the yard: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing out in the cold weather? You have something to do." Just give me a call and let me go? Come in quickly, the yard is cold."

   While talking warmly, she welcomed Lu Xiu into the house.

  When Lu Xiu entered the house, she was carrying a basket like Mrs. You, and the basket was also covered with a piece of gauze.

   "I don't know if your family has any noodle and fruit to eat. I fried some in our family, so I wanted to send some to your family." Lu Xiu said and opened the basket.

When Wen Xu saw it, he was surprised by the basket of small fruits. The simple crispy fruit Wen Xu knew how to make, fried in a pan, but cat ears, snow pancakes stuffed with red bean paste, such things are not something that Wen Xu can handle. that's it.

   "Sister-in-law three, I didn't expect you to have such a skill!" Wen Xu pinched a cat's ear and threw it into her mouth.

Cat’s ears are a common name in Wenxu’s hometown. The name of cat’s ears may come from the fruit’s shape, which looks like a cat’s ears. It is usually filled with rock sugar, but Lu Xiu has improved it. It is filled with honey, although it is not as good as Wenxu’s family. The black honey is good, but it is also good honey, and it tastes like sweet-scented osmanthus in your mouth. When this thing was eaten into the mouth, it first bit into a layer of fragrant glutinous rice flour, and then heard a crackling sound. After the shell was bitten, the bees inside flowed out.

Hearing Wen Xu's praise, Lu Xiu smiled and said: "My father used to make this. During festivals or festivals, he would make some and sell them on the street. In the past, we children always ate them secretly, but If you find out, you will be beaten up. When I was a child, I thought this food was the most delicious food. Now I think it is too sweet with rock sugar. I changed it to honey. Your third brother said it tastes good, so let me give it to you. I'll give you a little taste, I know your mouth is full, if you can eat it, I'll send some to the second sister-in-law and the others."

"It's delicious, it's really delicious! It tastes like what I ate when I was a child. It's better to make it by hand. Now it's all machine-made and loses the original taste. Thank you, third brother and third sister-in-law. Then I can only give you some vulgar food here." Yes! You know brother, I'm a lazy person." Wen Xu hurriedly stretched out both hands to take the basket, then turned around and gave it to Hang Chen.

   "Hey, your family also fried small fish? This small fish is fried well, I think it is similar to the second sister-in-law's skill!"

   "Where our house bombed, it was sent by his second sister-in-law. We don't have such a thing!" Li Yumei said with a smile.

   "I can't fry this thing either. Our family leader said that the second sister-in-law fried this thing the best in the whole village. Before I finished talking, the second sister-in-law brought it over..." Lu Xiu laughed.

  Hang Chen was already cooked, so he made a basket of return gifts, put them in Lu Xiu's basket, and handed them to Wen Xu.

  Wen Xu didn't answer at all: "A child of this age doesn't wink at all, send it back to the third sister-in-law!"

"okay!"

  Hearing what Wen Xu said, Hang Chen immediately happily picked up the basket.

When Lu Xiu heard this, she immediately said: "No, no! It's all a family! I'm not ten or eight months old. Now I have to imitate your daughter-in-law Shangzhen to walk more every day and exercise more to strengthen my body." constitution!"

"It's up to you to stroll around. Let Hang Chen deliver this thing to you. Just do me a favor. Seeing her all morning makes my head dizzy. Hurry up and take her away." Wen Xin joked Said.

   "You think I want to see you!" Hang Chen curled his lips: "Sister-in-law three, is Shengnan at home?"

   After asking, seeing Lu Xiu nodded, and went out with a basket on her shoulders.

  Lu Xiu saw her go out, thanked her again, and followed her back.

In the next few hours, even when it was lunch time, there was no loss of people. Either this house gave some this, or that house gave that one. When I woke up in the morning, there was still nothing for the Chinese New Year. At that time, I found that there was no need to buy anything else this year. From melons, pears, peaches to bacon and sausages, there were a lot of them in the living room.

The result was that Wen Xu had bought a lot of snacks, Er Hua had been pestering the stone mortar for a day, Da Hua had served the plate for a day, and Hua had meatballs made by half a pig, but none of them were left. They all went to other people's homes as gifts in return. In the end, Li Yumei had no choice but to take out the pork belly from the refrigerator after dinner and re-fry a pot of meatballs, radish **** and the like.

"New Year's Eve here really has a New Year's flavor. It's so enthusiastic. It's a bit like the New Year's Eve in the past. Every household walks diligently. It doesn't look like it's in the community now. Maybe the neighbors haven't seen it before. On the other hand, each family has a day, and the party will be regarded as the Chinese New Year, and there is no human touch." Although Li Yumei has fried rice **** for a day today, she is in good spirits, and she keeps boasting that the Chinese New Year in Wenjia Village is humane.

Shi Shangzhen said with a smile: "The village is so big, and it's a little more lively because it's full of families. How can the festival atmosphere in the city be compared with here? Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door! This year our village will also have a little It’s very humane, everyone who celebrates the New Year here, the village will distribute something! If there are children, we will also prepare small lantern pets, so that people who celebrate the festival in our Wenjia Village can also feel the human touch.”

   Speaking of this, Shi Shangzhen said to Wen Xu: "By the way, tomorrow, you have tasks for you in the village in the morning!"

   "Give it to me?" Wen Xu asked curiously, "What tasks can I have?"

"What task do you have? Your task is to hang up the lanterns with all the men in the village. During the Chinese New Year, our village will also give him a city that never sleeps. Not only the sides of the main road, but also the trees at the entrance of the village will also be decorated. , Hang up the lanterns!..." Shi Shangzhen said.

   When Wen Xu heard about this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Shi Shangzhen looked at Xiaoyao again: "Xiaoyao, don't run around here and there tomorrow, go to your great-grandfather and ask him to write some lucky characters, as well as attracting wealth and treasure, just write two characters for each of them. up".

   "Why bother the old man, I have all these things at home, including the couplets Yan Dong sent over." The couplets Wen Xu said were all sent by the telephone company.

  Wen Xu thought about everything and asked the old man what to do.

   "This is a tradition in the family, you don't need to write couplets, but grandpa must write the lucky characters, especially the lucky characters on the door," Shi Shangzhen insisted.

  Wen Xu didn't say much after hearing this, and said to Xiaoyao, "That's all you need to do tomorrow!"

"okay!"
