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

Chapter 35 Chapter 35
When the sound of a cow bleating came from the entrance of the village, Lin He, who was already drowsy, was shocked: "Yu'er, light the fire!"

It's not boring in an instant.

Even Li An, who was stuffed into the hands of the second brother, seemed to be a little confused, not understanding why the person holding him changed all of a sudden.

The ribs have been simmering slowly on low heat before, put them up, wash the pot, and scoop a little lard.

At this time, Lin He thought that it would be great if there was vegetable oil.

It’s okay in summer. In the weather like now, if you stir-fry vegetables with lard, it will solidify quickly, and it won’t taste so good when you eat it.

It's a pity that when she went to town last time, she looked around, and there was no vegetable oil, let alone in the memory of the original owner.

There are peanuts and soybeans, and there are soybean seeds at home. The peanuts have been planted a few days ago. When the autumn harvest comes, you can try to squeeze the oil.

Of course, if Li Changhui didn't mind, she would also like to buy over a hundred catties of peanuts and soybeans, and try to get the oil out by herself.

The lard melted, and the marinated carp was put in. There was a sound of "Zi Zi la la", and the faint fragrance had dissipated.

Fry the carp until golden on both sides, put it aside, scoop up a little more oil, add the minced ginger and garlic prepared earlier and fry until fragrant, then add dried chili and peppercorns, and put the fish in after frying , Added a little more water, just submerged the fish.

After thinking about it, I poured a little soy sauce on it.

She remembered that her mother-in-law's house had bean paste, which was delicious when she made it herself, but it was a pity that she didn't give it to them when the family separated, otherwise the bean paste would be more delicious.

Bring to a boil, then simmer for a few minutes.

And at this time, Li Changhui finally came back.

"Smells good, what are you doing?"

"Braised fish in soy sauce, are you hungry? Wash your hands and eat right away."

When talking, the hot water has been poured into the basin.

Li Changhui nodded. When washing his hands, he also saw the ribs on the table.

"You didn't eat ribs at noon? I wanted to ask in the afternoon, what's the matter with so many fish in the tank? Changsheng said you went to catch fish?"

"I cooked fish soup at noon, so I didn't burn the pork ribs. I caught the fish in the river. How about it, isn't it great?"

Lin He looked at him with raised eyebrows, quite proud and showing off.

The corners of Li Changhui's mouth twitched slightly: "It's great, you don't have to worry about being hungry in the future."

Lin He heard his joke, and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He lifted the lid of the pot, and a large amount of water vapor came out, hitting her face directly.

With a wave of his hand, he waved away the water vapor, turned over the braised fish in the pot, and prepared to cook for a while.

"Father, mother catches fish so fast. Put the bamboo basket into the river, and the fish will go in by itself."

Li Yu, who was burning the fire, stretched his neck from behind the stove, and excitedly told his father about catching fish: "My mother is also very good at killing fish. Once she cuts down, her stomach will be clean."

Li Changhui was surprised after knowing it: "You still kill fish?"

It is not surprising to kill chickens, but if it is to kill fish, few people in the general village will eat fish, let alone kill fish.

The fish is slippery, and inexperienced people may not even be able to catch it.

"What's so strange about killing fish, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, nothing can be killed." Lin He rolled his eyes, making a fuss.

Even if she brings a cow, she can kill it and eat it—it's a pity that the cattle in this world can't be killed casually, they are as important as people.

"By the way, speaking of killing chickens, I forgot to dispose of the pheasants just now. Uncle said that we will ask Changsheng to help our family plow the fields tomorrow, so we should treat them well."

It will take a few days for their farm cattle to come back.

In the village, they usually help with work in exchange, or give money, but they all eat at the owner's house.

There is also a pheasant, which will be stewed tomorrow.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it later."

"Alright, you help me get some sour bamboo shoots, and I'll be ready here soon. Yu'er takes the bowls and chopsticks, and the egg custard should be cooked. Let it dry before feeding it to my brother."

There is only a small amount of soup left in the pot, put the fish first, and sprinkle a little salt and pepper in the soup.

When the fish was marinated, salt was already added, now only a little is needed to season the soup, think about adding a pinch of sugar to enhance the freshness.

After stirring a few times, the soup is poured over the fish, and sprinkled with a handful of green onion for decoration.

A simple version of braised fish with delicious color and flavor is ready.

A little soy sauce was poured into Li An's custard, and a little lard was put on top of it. The heat melted the lard quickly, and the soy sauce and lard were mixed on the custard by swiping it with a spoon.

Seeing his favorite egg custard, Li An obviously just had a meal not long ago, and now he clapped his hands happily, and kept yelling 'ahhh'.

"Quick, try my handiwork. Yu'er Hao'er eats fish slowly, be careful of the fishbone, and wait until the fish is finished before serving rice."

She wasn't worried about Li Changhui, but she was afraid that the two children seldom ate fish and accidentally mixed fishbone into the rice.

"Don't worry, mother, we know."

Having said that, Lin He was still worried, so he clamped fish belly with relatively few fish bones for them first, and told them not to talk, and to eat fish slowly and carefully.

Immediately afterwards, there was an extra piece in his bowl: "Thanks for your hard work, you can eat too, they are not young anymore, don't worry so much."

Lin He rolled his eyes at him, at least it was his own, why was he not as nervous as her stepmother.

"By the way, Brother Hui, didn't you teach Yuer Haoer how to read? It's been so long, you probably forgot, right?"

Li Changhui's expression remained the same: "I haven't forgotten, when the paddy fields are tidied up and the seedlings are raised, I will have nothing to do, and then I will teach them how to read at home."

"Before the autumn, we should learn the enlightenment well. After the autumn, Yu'er will go to the town to study. By then, we will have an ox cart at home, so it will be convenient for us to pick up and drop off."

Li Yu was overjoyed instantly: "Thank you dad!"

Lin He was surprised: "I thought you forgot, there has been no movement for so long."

Li Changhui: "Today's prey, some of them were bought by the school in the town. I probably inquired about it. Shuxiu is not expensive. You can eat it at the school at noon, and the monthly food expenses are not much."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yu.

"The school is still available for accommodation, but we are not very far from the town, so you don't have to live there, but you have to get up early every day."

After all, when you go to class in the morning, whether you live in a school or at home, you all go to class together.

Li Yu hurriedly said: "The food in the school is definitely not as delicious as my mother's, so I will live at home."

What Lin He was thinking about was the virtues of 'Li Yu' in her impression, and she nodded accordingly: "Yu'er is still young, please go home at night, there is no adult in school to control her, so be careful to learn badly."

"Mom, I won't learn to be bad." Li Yu pursed her mouth, very upset that Mother didn't believe her.

Lin He dealt with it casually: "Well, yes, Yu'er will not learn to be bad, eat quickly, eat fish, eat ribs, eat well tonight, eat well, and tomorrow I will have stewed chicken."

Intuition told Li Yu that Mother was perfunctory.

But the pork ribs in the bowl immediately caught his attention, and he forgot about it in an instant.
