Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

When Lin He woke up, it was almost dark. Realizing how he fell asleep, he turned over and got up in a hurry.

"Brother Hui, Yu'er Hao'er, what time is it now, where are Auntie and the others?"

"Everyone has gone back." Li Yu came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl.

"Mother, you finally woke up. Uncle and grandma said that you drank a lot of wine at noon and got drunk. Are you not feeling uncomfortable now?"

"This is lukewarm water. Dad asked me to prepare it, saying that you will be thirsty when you wake up."

Lin He took the bowl, it was still warm, his mouth was dry, and he finished a large bowl in one go.

"What about your father? Why are you alone at home?"

Looking around, the yard has been cleaned up, without any traces, even the blood has been wiped clean.

It's not dark yet, but it's getting closer, probably in the middle of the unitary hour.

"Uncle and grandma, they marinated all the bacon in the afternoon, and then stuffed sausages together. After uncle and grandma left, dad said he wanted to buy some tofu and make pig blood balls."

"Hao'er An'er didn't go out to play all day, and they were arguing a lot, so father brought them all with him, so as not to disturb mother's rest."

Lin He squeezed the space between his eyebrows: "It's a mistake to drink, it seems that we can't drink too much in the future."

I was so happy today, I got carried away for a while.

Thinking of sausages, Li Yu asked Li Yu to take him to have a look.

She wasn't worried about the sausages made by her auntie. When she first arrived in the village, she had eaten sausages made by her uncle's mother, and they tasted very good.

It's a pity that I fell asleep, otherwise, I could have learned my aunt's recipe for making sausages.

After all, she has never made these things before, but she just knows a general idea, and she has never tried seasoning or anything else.

The sausages are hung under the eaves outside the kitchen, just above the air vents. They don’t need to be marinated, they can be brought into the house after being dried for a few days, and then smoked.

"After doing so much, I will have a good fortune in the future."

"It seems to be eight catties of meat." Li Yu remembered that his uncle and grandma had said it.

"Really, it looks like a lot."

But Lin He didn't delve into it, and stretched his waist: "Let's cook first, your father and the others should be back later."

There is a tofu shop in the town, which is not far from them, and it takes at most a quarter of an hour to walk there.

"For the leftovers at noon, except for the ones specially brought home for my aunts and grandmas, my father also asked my uncles and aunts to take them home. I only left a bowl of wild goose soup and a bowl of pheasant soup. My father said that I can eat whatever I want at night. Get some food and eat."

The bowl Li Yu mentioned was not a rice bowl, but a sea bowl. The soup was watery and there was not much meat. The main reason was that there were a lot of side dishes in the soup.

There was still a lot of rice left at noon. When Lin He got up, Li Yu was steaming the rice and it was already hot.

I looked around, I didn't eat the bean sprouts I bought yesterday, so I fried them all, and they will be old tomorrow.

The bean sprouts were made with water, so they were not dirty. They were simply washed twice, and some mung bean skins were discarded. After the water was filtered, Li Yu was about to ask Li Yu to start a fire when he heard the movement of two children outside.

Lin He hurried out, just in time to see Li Changhui lock the door.

But seeing Li Changhui's empty hands, he couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Didn't Yuer say you went to buy tofu?"

"I'm just going to order tofu. I've been busy all day today, and I might wake up later tomorrow. I'm afraid that the tofu is sold out, and I need fresh pork to make pig blood balls. I just ordered it together, and I can get it tomorrow."

"Well, I overslept in the afternoon, and I can't help you."

"It's not easy for you to cook in the morning, just take a rest."

Lin He asked the father and son to wash their hands and rest for a while, and they can eat right away.

After two or three stir-fries, the soup was heated up, and everyone was invited to eat, not to mention the others, she herself was sleepy and hungry.

I will stop drinking tonight and finish the leftovers at noon. Brother Li Yu and Li Hao went to wash the dishes and boil hot water. They still have things to do.

"These internal organs haven't been cleaned up yet. I ate a piece of pork liver, pork heart and stomach. How do I get them? Have you eaten them in the past two days? My aunt suggested that they can be marinated with the meat and eaten during the Chinese New Year."

There are only ten days left before the Chinese New Year.

Lin He looked at the big pot, and took out the pork kidneys: "It's better to eat fresh ones, marinate the rest first, and eat slowly later, the food is so good these days, it's light for a few days Mouth."

The weather is cold recently, and these things can be stored for several days with a little salt.

When I was cooking today, I heard from my aunt chatting that few people in the village kill pigs by themselves. A catty is already a lot.

The uncle's family is already well-off, and during the Chinese New Year, they are only willing to make two or three catties of sausages.

Like them, they don't sell any meat, but keep all the meat to make their own bacon. It can only be said that they have never seen it, at least they haven't seen it.

Lin He expressed his understanding that a pig is worth more than a person these days, so of course he would rather sell it.

As for what their family does, that is their own business.

The two cleaned up the internal organs, refilled the pig lungs with clean water, hung them under the eaves, put a wooden basin to catch the water, and then took out the pig suet.

He looked at the time, it was getting late, thinking that Li Changhui had been busy all day, he hurriedly rushed the first and third children to wash up.

"What about you? You don't sleep?"

Lin He was helpless: "I slept all afternoon, and now I am so energetic that I can't sleep at all. Instead of lying in bed and feeling uncomfortable, it's better to boil this lard."

Seeing that Li Changhui was not moving, Lin He went to scoop up hot water to wash his face and bathe himself: "Don't hesitate, take a rest, doesn't it mean that you want to go to the mountain tomorrow?"

"Well, if you are tired and sleepy, just call me."

Boiling lard is inseparable from people, but at night, there is really nothing to do if you can't sleep.

"Okay, okay, go wash up, you smell like pork, take a shower and change into clean clothes, don't get on the quilt."

It was fine if Lin He didn't say it, but when Lin He said it, Li Changhui couldn't help himself.

I haven't changed my clothes since I got up in the morning, and I press and shave pigs, and then I make bacon and sausages.

He hurriedly brought up the hot water, and even specially carried two buckets.

Not only do you have to take a bath, but you also have to wash your hair. I tried to ignore it before, but now that Lin He mentions it, I can't stand it for a moment.

Lin He saw with her own eyes that Li Changhui's calm face was cracked for a moment, and she couldn't help but want to laugh. She used to see Li Changhui doing everything by picking up manure and watering the ground, and thought he didn't care about it.

I didn't expect that he cared so much about his own image.

For a moment, I feel a little better.

Well, it wasn't bad before, but it's even better now.

Even when cleaning the suet, he couldn't help humming in a relaxed tone, feeling very happy.

Under the dim candlelight, Lin He prepared to boil the lard contentedly. Cut the lard into pieces and put it in the pot, add a bowl of water, and simmer slowly on a low fire, gradually releasing the aroma.
