Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 59 Plum, sell meat
While eating, Wanwan kept thinking about whether he was too strict just now. After all, he is still a child's intelligence in the next life. If he is not educated well, he will always be like this. After that, no one can control him. It's okay to shake in front of you!
The child didn't even eat dinner, so he just walked away angrily with red eyes, what if the grandpa thought he was being bullied here in the next life?

After thinking about it for a while, after dinner, Wanwan put a large bowl of vegetables in a bowl and sent Baishou to Laisheng's home, explaining by the way.

After a while, Baishou came back, and he was drunk by his grandfather when he returned home. The grandfather in the next life didn't know his grandson, so he must have been caught doing something bad. After eating jujube, he ignored Baishou when he heard Baishou came over.But after seeing a big bowl of food, I pouted and ran to the kitchen to grab the bowls and chopsticks and start eating!
Fortunately, Baishou had sent something, otherwise the child would have been hungry all night.

Baishou just laughed at her and thought about it: "Although he's out of his mind, he always knows when he's hungry."

The first night, Wanwan wondered if he would be really angry with them in the next life, but he came back early the next morning.Just like a normal person, following her ass to eat.Just sigh, it’s okay to be a fool, he won’t be really angry with you!
Turn over the sauced meat first in the morning, and then take out the bacon to smoke.Baishou has prepared a rack for hanging smoked pork.

Three wooden sticks were cross-bundled together to form a bracket, so four were made in total, each in two groups, a long stick was placed in the middle, and the meat was hung on it, and cypress branches were lit underneath, and then the smoke began Meat.

And Wanwan sat in the room and began to fill the sausages. The chicken intestines had been washed out earlier, and a section of the bamboo tube that was as long as the middle finger was cut off. One end was sloped. Sometimes the place will be swollen, just lightly prick it with a needle.Every time the intestines are filled to a certain length, they are tied with a thin thread, which becomes a section.

After Baishou smoked the pork, he came over to sit down to help, and next life squatted beside him to play like a child, and even broke two chicken intestines. Fortunately, the chicken intestines had prepared several.

It didn't take long to fill the sausages, and it was all done by Xiangwu.

Smoke the stuffed sausages and bacon together in the afternoon. At the beginning, smoke them for half an hour each time (equivalent to one hour in modern times), three or four times a day, and then gradually reduce the number of times you smoke each day.

As long as you strictly follow this method, the smoked bacon will definitely be beautiful in color and delicious in taste!Thinking of getting a lot of money into the account, Wan Wan has been particularly motivated these days.

After getting the money, their family can buy some new year's goods when they come back. They haven't eaten fruit for a long time, and when the time comes, they can buy some fruits when they see that they are cheap.

Thinking of this, Wanwan thought of the fruit trees in Wang Baoshan's house.

It's cold in winter, and his fruit tree has only been planted for three years. What if the fruit tree is damaged by freezing?
Later she told Baishou about it, and Baishou said: "I'll remind him."

Wanwan asked him again: "Do you know how to prevent fruit trees from frost damage? I heard people mention that you can paint tree coats or whitewash on other fruit tree hills."

Baishou of Tu Shuyi knew about it, but he was not so clear about Tu Bai.

Wanwan told him: "I heard that after the leaves fall, painting the trunk with white can not only prevent winter and spring frost damage, but also eliminate overwintering insect eggs and some germs on the trunk, and prevent hares from gnawing on the trunk. If some insect eggs grow on the trunk, sometimes you don’t know, especially after spring, these insect eggs are very easy to affect the growth of fruit trees, maybe this is one of the reasons why the fruit trees do not bear fruit, what do you think?”

Baishou thought about it, and felt that it made sense. Although he had never heard of this method, he knew what Wanwan said about painting tree bark, so he thought what his wife said should be correct, so he asked her what to use to paint white .

At this time, I don’t know if there is any limestone, but she knows a kind of limestone. After the limestone is calcined, it will be smashed into limestone before it turns into slaked lime, and then mixed with some water, add a little salt, and then brush it on the tree trunk. superior.

When Baishou told Wang Baoshan about this, he was very moved. Unexpectedly, Baishou still remembered about his fruit tree. When it was cold, he would tie the bark to the fruit tree, but this It was the first time for Tu Bai to hear that he was so worried about this fruit tree that he could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, trying various methods.

But neither of them knew the limestone.So on a sunny day, the three of them went to the mountain to search together. The limestone is usually found on the top of the mountain where the soil is dry. They searched for several hills, and finally found a few pieces.Wang Baoshan took it home and burned the stone until the stone showed signs of cracking, and then smashed it all into lime, and made two large buckets of lime water according to the method Baishou said. Because there was too little lime, the lime water was very thin, but there was better than nothing.

Baishou helped him brush the trunks of the fruit trees in the whole orchard, and then the two of them started to weave straw ropes together. Water and soil maintenance, but also to prevent trees from frostbite.

Wang Baoshan has already finished weaving some, because there are too many things at home this year, so it is too late. Baishou helps weave the straw rope at home every day, and carries it directly to his home after weaving. In the end, Wang Baoshan was embarrassed to let Baishou After running around like this, just ask him to come home to help weave it, so as not to be tiring from memorizing it!
For several days in a row, Bai Capital helped Wang Baoshan's house. The bacon at home was half-dried, and she hung the sauced meat in the yard on the sixth day.Today's bacon has been smoked, and she extinguished the sparks.After frying some cakes, I asked the next life to watch at home, and went to Wang Baoshan's house by myself.

Wang Baoshan's family has four main rooms, and the courtyard is built of stone. It seems that the family is doing well.Baoshan's father went out, and Baoshan's mother and Baishou were sitting in the yard weaving straw ropes. Seeing Wan Wan approaching, Baoshan's mother immediately greeted her: "Baishou's daughter-in-law is here, come in and sit."

Wanwan smiled and went into the yard, and then took out the cake: "I just fried it, it's still hot, everyone, eat it while it's hot."

Niang Baoshan immediately wiped her clothes on her clothes, and said with a smile: "Oh, I have to try the cake made by Baishou's daughter-in-law!" Wanwan smiled and handed over a piece, Niang Baoshan took a bite, her eyes lit up, Looking at Wanwan in surprise, "Ah, this cake is really delicious!"

Wang Baoshan also nodded while eating.Hearing the compliments from the two, Baishou bit the cake as if his heart had been smeared with honey.

This is the second time Wanwan saw Baoshanniang, the first time was when she was arguing with others at the village meeting, but now it seems that she is actually a very kind old man.

Several people were talking while eating cakes. At this moment, Baoshan Niang immediately stood up and shouted to the door: "Meizi."

I saw a woman standing outside the gate of the courtyard, wearing a blue and coarse cloth, and a beautiful woman.

Meizi looked at Baishou and Wanwan who were helping to weave straw ropes in the yard, and followed Baoshanniang to the yard. Baoshan naturally went over and connected her back, which turned out to be a back of braided straw ropes.

Then Niang Baoshan picked up a piece of cake and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "This is a cake made by Baishou's daughter-in-law. It tastes pretty good, try it."

Wanwan smiled at Meizi who was looking at her.

Meizi is actually pretty good, and she usually looks deserted. Unlike other peasant women in the village, she looks differently beautiful.

Then Wanwan remembered the last time Wang Baoshan sent firewood to Meizi's house, and she couldn't help but take another look at the two of them.

Meizi took the cake and smelled it, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "It's very fragrant." Then she wrapped it up and said, "I'll eat it when I go home."

Immediately, Baoshan Niang took two more pieces of cake and wrapped them together for her, and said softly: "Save it for dinner, don't let the old woman see it, and scrape it away again." Like a mother-in-law who protects her daughter-in-law.

An embarrassed look appeared on Meizi's face, she looked at Wanwan in embarrassment, and nodded.

Wanwan was secretly surprised that Baoshan was in his thirties this year, and he was the only one in the family; last time he offered to help Meizi carry firewood, and this time Meizi helped him weave straw ropes.Could it be that these two are really interesting?
Then she glanced at Baoshan Niang who was talking to Meizi with a smile, this future mother-in-law quite likes it?

It's rare for Wanwan to gossip in his heart!

It didn't take two days to weave enough straw ropes, and Baishou helped Wang Baoshan put tree coats on the fruit trees.

The curved bacon is almost smoked.As the end of the year approaches, everyone is busy buying new year's goods.However, their family had to sell the cured pork first. The two went to the restaurant to discuss with shopkeeper Yu, and then went to Wang Matchmaker's house to borrow an ox cart.

When Matchmaker Wang heard that Wanwan and the others were going to sell pork in the town, she said very graciously: "Ah, that's just right, our family is going to the market tomorrow, so I'll help you carry it by the way."

Wanwan thanked her sincerely, and Matchmaker Wang said, "They're all neighbors, so if you say this, you'll be offended!"

The pork smoked by the three families was about four to five hundred catties, and they were all put on the ox cart for fear that the ox would not be able to pull it too heavy.In the evening, Wanwan and Baishou put the sauced pork ribs and most of the pork into a big basket, which was put on the ox cart.In addition, the sausage and some bacon are put on a back, which is a hundred back.

The next day, the two got up early, ate two pieces of cakes, carried Baishou on their backs, and at the same time carried baskets with Wanwan and began to walk slowly down the mountain. Dad Yuanbao came as soon as they got down the mountain.

"Why are you two so fast? I said I'm going up to pick you up!" Yuan Bao's father took over the pole from Wan Wan's hand while talking, and the two men carried it away much faster.

Bend is very grateful.

At the entrance of the village, Shitou's father and mother and Lao Zhutou were already waiting. There were two baskets on the ox cart.Wanwan felt a little embarrassed at once. Everyone carried hundreds of catties of pork to reduce the burden on the ox cart. She was the only one who had nothing. She planned to carry some, but she refused to let her because she was afraid that she would be tired.Therefore, the back of Baishou is heavier than that of other people.

However, everyone didn't say anything, knowing that Baishou felt sorry for his wife, Yuan Baoniang and Shitouniang still winked at her quietly.Ben Wan blushed for a while.

Several people helped to carry the baskets to the ox cart, and when everyone arrived, Li Zhutou led the ox cart, and everyone followed and started walking towards the market.

Bent on the road several times and wanted to help Baishou to share some of the weight, but Nai He didn't have extra shoulders, so she could only ask him quietly beside him: "Are you tired?... Shall we take a rest?"

Once heard by Shitou Niang, she covered her mouth and snickered!
