Smallholder Farmer

PS: Hello everyone! morning!

Zeng Tou is also doing well in Fan's mansion now, he feels a little at home, and he knows everything about Yuyue, and he feels like he can talk endlessly.

"Would you like to delay until now? However, it has something to do with Marshal Gao. I don't know that day, the two of them were drinking in the camp. After drinking too much, they talked about how the fourth master wanted to recognize you as a goddaughter, and they were laughed at by your uncle. That's why I made up my mind to marry my real wife!"

"When does he want to recognize his daughter? Why don't I know?"

Yuyue was shocked. There were many godfathers, but she was also a godfather who seemed to have a lot of background. She was quite unwilling in her heart, because she had her own life. day? what I really want,

"Fourth Master has already had this idea, but he has never had a regular wife. According to the rules, it is not allowed to recognize his daughter as a daughter."

"It turns out that Daqi still has such a saying!" Yuyue laughed, and she had to thank Mrs. Wang, who hadn't been in office for a long time, otherwise she would have had multiple godfathers long ago.

Zengtou is also delicious, and he has an inexplicable admiration for Yuyue. You said, this boss is so talented, but the medicinal materials are also edible? Lily steamed pork is really delicious, although the taste is a bit bland!

"Miss San, Miss San, let's talk about one more dish, I'll cook it." This is a big turn, but Yuyue is used to it, no matter what the two of them say, they always end here.

"You seem to be a relative of Boss Zeng's family? How many recipes have you brought to him?"

"There is no relationship, it was just a family five hundred years ago!" To be honest, Zeng Tou felt a little guilty. I really gave this family a lot of recipes. It feels a bit like being in Cao Ying and heart in Han.

"Have you ever eaten yam? It's absolutely delicious~"

"Isn't this medicine?"

"So what, go try it and see if anyone has ice, take some clean water and ice it into ice cubes, then eat it chilled, it's great." Yuyue looked at the cold wind blowing outside . Suggest him to eat some cold dishes.

"This is medicine!" Zeng Tou muttered and left. I didn't realize what it's like to eat cold dishes in winter. Yuyue smiled and watched him walk away. Sometimes it is very fulfilling to play tricks on people.

The taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger, and the foundation of Yongqing County is already good, so this is the first year after the disaster. Everyone felt that they were living a fat life. Yuyue sat in her house and didn't go out. Outside the window, it was dark, which was a sign of snow. The weather in the space was also so cold that frost formed on the rocks, and it was fine when it snowed. After the next sound of snow, the weather will be fine for a long time.

Sure enough, on the second day after the snowfall, after the snow had melted, the sky was filled with a bright sun. Mama Ding took her with her and began to prepare for the new year. Sister-in-law Shuan, aunt and aunt all rolled up their sleeves and joined the battle, and only Miss Gao was watching. However, those who can do more work. Miss Gao's specialty is on the other hand, that is, Miss Gao is responsible for all the new clothes in the whole house. All the best!

Soon, all kinds of bacon and so on were hung under the courtyard wall, of course, under the courtyard wall facing the north, and Mrs. Shuan was still cooking, and together with her aunt, she made the sauce. I was paying attention, and saw that the bean cakes were similar to those used to make soy sauce in modern times, so I took Yulin and others to try it out.

Steamed beans are almost the same, Yuyue and the three of them were lazy and waited until the beans were sent to the straw pile to mold, then they saw that the mold had grown well, and took a pile away. Prepare a clean and oil-free open sand tank early, mix salt with clean water to make brine, and prepare coarse brine, put it in the tank and cover it. At the same time, I put the moldy bean cakes in the sun for two days, brushed the mold that grew out carefully, washed it clean, and dried it in the sun. At this time, the salt water had been soaked for two days. Put the hat on the bottom of the tank, put in the sun-dried bean cakes, cover it with a layer of bamboo hat, and then gently pour in the salt water that has been soaked for two days, leaving some salt residue that is not poured out. These impurities will affect the soy sauce. the quality of. Put red dates and dried red peppers on the bamboo hat, put a knot of bamboo charcoal in it, and finally add salt. Cover the mouth of the jar with a piece of sackcloth and tie it tightly with thick twine.

"Is that all right?" Yu Zhu followed suit for a few days, naturally wanting to ask clearly.

"Of course it won't work. There are still many tricks, just wait!" Yuyue explained in a good-tempered manner.

Then, three days later, Yuyue asked Shang Banxia to hold the jar in the sun and dry it in the sun. At night, he tied the cloth again, uncovered the cloth to bask in the sun during the day, and sealed the vat at night. It would take 40 days to repeat this process. The first loses interest and no longer cares about this matter. Forty days later, Yuyue took out the beans, put them in another earthenware pot, filtered all the water through a fine sieve, put it into a casserole to boil, and skimmed off the foam while heating. After simmering for two hours, put it in a clay pot and let it cool. This is soy sauce, ready to eat. The last thing to do is to uncover it to bask in the sun when you have time.

This soy sauce is really delicious and has won unanimous praise from everyone, but Yuyue is not satisfied, and it is still a bit unsatisfactory. It seems that the key is the beans. Is the degree of cooking of the beans different from that of the sauce?

Yuyue took out the beans, which were all soybeans normally produced in Jiangjia Au. In this newly opened wasteland, soybeans are grown in many places. This is the first step in fertilizing the field. Various fertilizers from Renjiazhuang, and The manure heaped up by the scorpion can only be used for the 500 mu of land. The wasteland, one is planted with horse grass, and the other is planted with soybeans. It will take another year or two before the field can grow grain. Therefore, there are so many soybeans in Fan's mansion. The soybeans used by Yuyue are this kind of beans. They could have used space beans. However, Yuyue felt that, firstly, it was too public, and secondly, how could it be possible to rely on space , what should I do if there is no space? Therefore, in the past year, Yuyue has irrigated relatively few fields by himself, and the 500 mu of land has almost been irrigated, because Tian Qi has built ditches in the fields, and usually brings in river water, and then according to needs Whether to irrigate or water, Yuyue only irrigated one pond, basically taking care of all 500 acres.

If this batch of soybeans makes delicious soy sauce, it may be a source of income. Yuyue heard that soy sauce is sometimes not available in the army, not because it can't afford it, but because it's not easy to carry, so she thought about researching it, drying the soy sauce by herself, and then making the legendary solid soy sauce that she had heard about when she was a child!

Yuyue strictly recorded the second batch of beans, the degree of cooking and the time of soaking in water, and then made the second batch of soy sauce with the above method. Sure enough, this kind of bean cake, which is cooked well and soaked for two days, produces the most oil and the most authentic taste.

According to this method, Yuyue is going to make the third batch. This is a matter of making soy sauce, and the time span is very long. However, it has to be said together so that it is not fragmented. In fact, when the first batch of soy sauce was still soaking in salt water and basking in the sun, when Yuzhu was still in high spirits, on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month arrive.

This year is considered a real reunion. On the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, Qian He's father and Uncle Qian Bin returned home, and the two teams of soldiers they brought with them naturally lived in the guest house of "Yaoxiangju".

The return of the two made the ancestor happy, but he also expressed dissatisfaction with them not returning home.

"Grandpa, we also want to come back, but we went to the north to defend Fanguo."

"Didn't it mean that there was no war and it was very safe?"

"Hey, the virtuous king is going to be an envoy to a foreign country, so of course we have to be on guard. If he doesn't come back, we can't just go home!"

"No!"

It was fun for the two of them to sing together, so everyone was happy and went back to the house. Both of them had a son, so they were very happy. Qian Bin immediately wanted to go to the temple to burn incense and thank the Buddha. There is a time!

Modesty is also very happy, hugging Jinyu, walking in and out, a bit reluctant and triumphant.

But seeing Qianhe's father holding the child, laughing so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, Yuyue made an exception and didn't taste good. Qianhe didn't realize that in front of his ex-wife's children, would it hurt to show that he liked the child of his second wife so much? But Ms. Gao was concerned, and when she took a closer look, she saw that neither of the two children had any mood swings, so she couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease.

It was only when she realized the phrase 'it's hard to be a stepmother' that she thought she would be fair, but looking at the chubby biological son in her arms, she didn't feel that she could be fair. For Jinyu, she has too many expectations. Of course, it doesn't mean that she has no expectations for Jinyan. She also hopes that this brother can give Jinyu a good start. Opinions can only be respected and sincere ideas. Even if it was the name of the yard, she didn't dare to decide for herself, but had to wait for Jinyan to come back to decide.

"Father, you have to put your hands on Jinyu's waist, don't shake like this! What if you dodged your waist?"

"Don't worry, I won't miss it. Sincerely, I hug you like this. Isn't this waist growing well now!"

The modest answer made Yuyue and Jinyan dumb, so just shake it, someone will always criticize you, but Yuyue is destined to be disappointed, Miss Gao herself is not very skilled in holding Jinyu, so naturally she doesn't think there is anything wrong with being modest, Ms. Gao is very happy for Qian He to come back now. At least, she didn't let him see her most obese and bloated appearance. She is really happy.

I can't be happy here, how can I say him? There is a tacit understanding between husband and wife.

Needless to say the excitement of the Spring Festival, Fourth Master Wang didn't come, but he sent his servants to Yongqing County, and the New Year's gift was given long ago, but he sent his own soldiers to receive the gifts from his relatives.

Miss Gao said to the soldiers: "The fourth master got married, and the etiquette of our Fan residence has already been sent away."

"Fourth master said no, let the younger one come, the special congratulatory gift from the third lady, the fourth master opened it and said thank you Mrs. Fan, but let the third miss give him a gift!"

The soldier said that he blushed. Is there anyone who comes to ask for a gift, or ask for it from the little girl, Miss Gao stares blankly and has nothing to say, is there anyone so shameless?
