Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 81 Roast Meat
"Yes, our family is indeed different. Think about it, my mother was treated badly by her family since she was a child, and so am I. Even you, isn't your stepmother treating you well? We all suffered when we were young, How can you be willing to let the children suffer? Although our family's life is not very good, but these children have never been wronged." Xue put on the last few pieces of meat, and then put all the sticks together Get up and put it in a big basin.

The meat they wear is not like Jinghan's previous life, a small string with a few thin slices of meat on it.Rather, there must be more than half a catty of meat on each skewer, and some even have to be seven to eight taels. This is the real meat.Those few rabbits were also marinated with seasoning and put on the thickest wooden sticks.

When the children came back from the river, Wenhan and Pengcheng carried a wooden barrel full of small fish, which they used to dock.Seeing it, Mrs. Xue quickly found a big basin, poured the fish into it, and then everyone squeezed the fish together. "Let's save these fish to dry in the sun. It's getting colder this day, so you won't be allowed to go into the water to get fish anymore, you know?" Xue Shi looked at Wen Han and Jing Han.She knew that these two children in her family usually took the lead in these matters.

"Mom, we know, the water will be cold in the future, and you can't go into the water, or something will happen when it's cold." Wen Han hurriedly promised.

Xue Shi looked at Jing Han without saying a word, just looked at her like that.

Jinghan understands that Mother wants a guarantee from her.The eldest brother and the second brother will return to the town in a few days. The children in the family are all listening to themselves. "Mother, don't worry, we won't go into the water anymore. Jinghan knows the seriousness." Jinghan quickly expressed his opinion.

Only then did Mrs. Xue nodded, and then said, "It's getting late, Wen Han, hurry up and find a place, first carry some firewood over there, and build a fire. After a while, we'll light the fire and then barbecue. I'll Stir-fry two dishes, stew some rice, and you can’t just eat barbecue, that’s not enough.”

"Hey, let's go right away." Wen Han promised, and hurriedly led these people to gather around the fire.They put firewood in the middle of the most open place in the yard, and then they found some hay or something to light the fire.Wen Han took the flint and lit the fire, and then slowly the whole fire was lit.

It just so happened that the old man, Zhixin and the others also came back from Shendi. Everyone was holding skewers and roasting them on the fire.Zhixin was afraid that the girls would be too close to the fire and would be uncomfortable, so he took a few more wooden sticks, and then asked Jingxian and the others to come into the house to help, and let the boys do it here.

Jinghan and the others went into the kitchen and saw that Xue Shi and Zhu Shi had already cooked a few dishes, and the rice was ready.So those who served the dishes and those who took the bowls and chopsticks, everyone started to work outside together.This dinner was taken out tonight.When Jinghan and the others put all the food on the table, the meat here was almost roasted.The smell of barbecue wafted in the air, making people smell it, and couldn't help but twitch their index fingers.

"Okay, the meat is almost roasted, let's start eating." The old man said. "Wenchang, go get grandpa some wine. Grandpa wants to drink two cups today. What about such delicious meat, why don't you drink two cups?" The old man is addicted to alcohol and wants to drink.

Wen Chang hurried to get the wine, Jing Wan listened, and hurried into the room to get the wine glass, and put it in front of the old man.The other two cups were also placed, which were reserved for Zhixin and Zhiming.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly called Yue Pengcheng over to eat. Yue Pengcheng was roasting two skewers of meat in his hand.The meat is already cooked, and the aroma is tangy, making people mouth watering.Pengcheng walked over with two skewers of meat in his hand, and gave each of the old man and Mrs. Chen a skewer, "Grandpa, grandma, come and taste my roasted meat."

"Keep it for yourself. Look, there is Wen Han's father grilling it here. They are all the same." The old man didn't want it, and held Zhixin's grilled meat skewers in his hand. "Child, save what you baked for yourself. Today there is plenty of meat. Eat whatever you like."

When Pengcheng saw this, he didn't give in anymore, and picked up a skewer of meat and ate it.The meat is well marinated and grilled well. It is really delicious when you eat it in your mouth.Pengcheng nodded while eating, "It's delicious, really good."

The children naturally went to eat meat first, who would eat when there was meat to eat?Of course, the adults can't be like children, so they each served a bowl of rice, and while eating the rice, they looked at the children in the yard.The firelight reflected on their faces, making each of their faces flushed with happy and contented smiles. "It would be great if we could eat as much meat as we like today, and eat whatever we like." The old man sighed.

"Father, don't worry, there will be such a day, let's work hard, and sooner or later we will be able to live like that." Zhixin said from the side.

"Okay, just because of your words, we men have to drink one too. Come on boss, brother, let's drink. There is wine and meat, this is a good look." The old man raised his glass and drank it down.Zhixin and Zhiming also drank the wine in their cups, and the three of them started to drink while pushing the cups.Since Zhixin and Zhiming had to go for a walk at night, they didn't dare to drink too much. After drinking three or four cups each, they stopped drinking.

Mrs. Chen and her two daughters-in-law didn't drink, just ate some vegetables and rice, and Mrs. Xue also went to barbecue, and handed Mrs. Chen a skewer after the roasting, "Mother, let's taste the taste of this barbecue meat too. If you eat meat like this, What a joy."

A skewer of meat would still weigh three or four when it was cooked, and how could the children eat as much as two skewers alone would suffice.Jinghan ate two skewers, then touched her belly, not daring to eat any more.Boys can eat more, but only three or four skewers, no more.Jinghan saw that everyone ate a little too much, so she suggested to dance together, so as to digest and digest.

So the children danced around the fire.There is no music, one by one clapping hands, dancing and making noise.When the children are tired from dancing, they sit down to rest, eat something, and then get up to dance again.In this way, I ate a meal from Youshichu to Xushichu. In fact, I didn't eat much of each of them, I just went to play.

The fire was almost burnt, only the red coals were left, the old man drank a little too much, he staggered back to the house and went to sleep.Zhixin and Zhiming didn't drink much, and they were still like normal people. They also went for a walk in the ginseng field, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Chen Shi, Xue Shi and Zhu Shi cleaned up everything on the table.I wore more than 50 skewers today, and two rabbits, I didn't expect to eat them all.Looking at the large bundle of wooden sticks, Mrs. Chen couldn't help shaking her head, and then laughed again.

The children were also tired from dancing, and they had almost digested it now. Seeing that grandma and mother were cleaning the table there, everyone hurried over to help.

"Okay, you are tired enough, go to bed quickly. Tomorrow, people in the village will come to pick up their sticks, and they have to cheer up. Okay, we will do this work, and go to bed quickly." Chen started to push people.

Jinghan and the others were really tired. Back in the house, Jinghan brought hot water, and the three sisters washed their feet one by one, then spread the quilt, and lay down to sleep.Before going to bed, Jingxian said, "Second sister, do you think we can still eat meat like today? Today is so happy, I have never eaten so much meat before."

After hearing this, Jing Han couldn't help but smile. Today, she's had a good time with Yue Pengcheng, otherwise, her grandparents would never agree.Farmers live their lives, but they are not so wasteful.Today's meat can be eaten for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be eaten overnight. "Let's work hard to make money, so we can eat like this again in the future. When our family's life is better, I'm afraid you won't like this way of eating, and don't think it's too oily to eat. gone?"

The three sisters fell asleep soundly with a beautiful yearning for the future.In sleep, weaving their expectations for the future.

Naturally, nothing happened that night. On the morning of August [-], everyone still got up early as usual.After breakfast, Zhixin took everyone to the place where the goods were shipped this year. Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhu also went there. Only the old man and Mrs. Chen were watching from the house, waiting for people from the village and the yamen to come.

When everyone arrived at the site, Zhixin took an ax and opened the mallet shed at once.Then Wenhan and Pengcheng both took sickles and cut down the ginseng leaves.No one cared about the ginseng leaves before, but this time Jinghan said that the ginseng leaves still have such an effect, so Wen Han said to keep the ginseng leaves, waiting to tie them up and make them useful.Since they want to stay, they can't just cut it off as they did in the past.Wen Han bent over, holding the stem of the mallet in one hand, and cut off the bottom with a sickle in the other hand.Then put the cut ginseng leaves together and arrange them neatly.

Peng Cheng also held a sickle in his hand, watching Wen Han's movements while learning.Although he had never done this before, nor had he ever held a sickle, Pengcheng was very smart.Gradually, I mastered the tricks inside, and I did a good job in a short while.

After cutting the ginseng leaves, Zhixin and Zhiming started planing the sticks with the three-toothed ones.Every time the three teeth go down, three or four mallets can be dug out, and the snow-white ginseng trees are displayed in front of everyone.The Xu family has long been used to such a scene, but Pengcheng has never seen it before, and was stunned all of a sudden, "Wenhan, is this ginseng, right? I didn't expect that the fresh ginseng turned out to be such a white and fat It really looks like a chubby little doll." Pengcheng had already finished cutting the ginseng leaves, and now he followed Jinghan's example, knelt down in the soil, and began to pull out the ginseng trees one by one. "Hey, this ginseng farming is really bitter enough. I kneel down to people for ginseng all year round. If ginseng is not expensive, how about it?"
