The two brothers Chen Dafu and Chen Erlu, and the two brothers Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, these four people were placed in close proximity to each other. They each determined their location and everyone started to work.

Because it had just rained yesterday, the land was already very soft, so it was not so difficult for everyone to dig the ditch. The two brothers from the Tang family were so strong that they dug a hoe directly into a large hole as deep as their knees.

The two brothers are not lazy people. When you are tired of digging, I will change my hand, and when I am tired of digging, you will change my hand. They cooperate with each other and actually dig five steps in one morning.

The two Chen brothers are also hard-working people. Since their mother came up with the plan of digging canals to divert water into households, they naturally worked extra hard.

However, Chen Dafu's leg disease prevented him from standing for a long time, which limited his performance. The two brothers worked together all morning and took more than four steps.

On the first day of canal digging, everyone's morale was very high. Everyone dug quickly and quickly. In just one morning, more than a hundred steps were dug.

At noon, it's time to have lunch.

Some of the canal diggers went home to eat one after another, while others had their families bring lunch directly to them, which was convenient and time-saving.

Chen Dafu and Chen Erlu also put down their work and prepared to go home to cook lunch for Sanshou and Sixi.

My mother went to the city, and it fell to my two brothers to cook.

As soon as I put down my tools, I heard Sixi's voice coming from a distance.

"Eldest brother, second brother, come and eat quickly." Sixi ran from the village and found her two brothers far away, shouting happily.

Chen Changsheng followed behind, carrying a rattan basket in her hand. Inside was the lunch she had packed for her two sons.

"Little sister! Mother!" The two brothers waved to the visitor happily.

Chen Dafu took the basket and opened the lid. There were two pancakes inside, as well as two bowls filled with tofu. Next to them was the ointment that his mother had applied to them that morning.

"Mom, why are you home?" Chen Erlu knew that his mother was going to the city early in the morning to deliver goods, and she also wanted to go shopping to see if there was anything to buy.

I used to go home in the afternoon, but I didn’t expect that I could have lunch cooked by my mother today.

Before Chen Changsheng could speak, Sixi nodded at the side and talked about the family affairs actively, "Mom came back before noon and bought two hens and two ducks from the city. She said that we would eat them every day from now on." You can eat eggs and duck eggs to replenish your body.”

Chen Changsheng actually wanted to buy chickens and ducks from the bracelet. She walked around the county town in the morning and met the man who sold chickens last time.

At the man's place, an adult hen costs thirty-five cents, and an adult duck costs forty cents. Moreover, the chicken and duck's coats are still matte, and they look like they are in poor spirits and are about to die at any time.

She opened the bracelet and found that it was indeed a good deal from the poultry factory. The hens were twenty-five cents each and the ducks were thirty cents each, and they were all in good spirits.

However, the goods in the bracelet must be paid for in calories. Two chickens and two ducks will cost her 1,100 calories, which makes the already poor family even worse.

Chen Changsheng is not short of money now, and has more than a thousand taels in the space of her bracelet. What she is short of is calories, and she has only saved 2,200 calories so far.

It's not worth spending a thousand calories just for a few chickens and ducks.

So she finally bought two of each from the man, planning to take them back, and then buy some nutrients from the bracelet to feed the chickens and ducks, which should also restore their energy.

Chen Changsheng rushed home before noon, but the children had not returned yet. She bought two more eggs and secretly stuffed them under the hen's buttocks.

When Sanshou and Sixi came back, they found that there were more friends in their chicken coop, and they even found two eggs.

The two eggs felt warm to the touch. The two siblings thought they were freshly laid by hens. Each of them took one and carefully handed it to Chen Changsheng. Chen Changsheng easily broke it into a bowl and set it aside.

The soybeans were soaked for more than twelve hours. Based on the previous two experiments, Chen Changsheng was very familiar with making tofu puffs this time.

Half a pound of soybeans made a big pot of tofu curd, which was put into a wooden bucket filled with mountain spring water and kept on ice until the children came home to drink it. It was just right.

Chen Changsheng was cooking, and Sanshou and Sixi were also busy. They caught insects and watered the eggplants and winter melons planted in the front yard.

Then I let the chickens out for a walk. The chickens drank water and ate wild vegetables, and then started chirping.

Four new neighbors suddenly appeared in the chicken coop, attracting the attention of the chickens. I thought it was their parents, who kept fluttering their little wings and shouting "clack, cluck, clack".

Chen Changsheng washed the pound of pork he bought in the morning and chopped it into minced meat. He added the seasonings, stirred evenly and marinated it for half an hour.

She took half a kilogram of meat, stir-fried it with oil until fragrant, then added a small handful of ground vegetables, and the marinade was ready.

Then mix the flour into the remaining bean dregs from making tofu puffs, pour the two eggs just now into it, and slowly knead it into a dough, ready to make several steamed buns.

The surface of the steamed bun was brushed with oil. Chen Changsheng used the vegetable oil in the random gift bag distributed by his bracelet this time.

Brush the oiled buns and bake slowly in the stove until they swell and the surface turns slightly brown.

While the steamed buns are still steaming, cut a small slit in half and scoop a spoonful of the fried meat marinade into the middle of the steamed buns.

An authentic Roujiamo is ready.

Sanshou and Sixi were teasing the chickens, "Sixi, look at these two big chickens and ducks, they seem to be awake. How about we catch them in the chicken coop and let them sleep Go back to sleep?"

After Chen Sanshou finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to seize the fate of the chickens and ducks. The four chickens and ducks seemed to have read Chen Sanshou's thoughts and fled away in a panic, leaving chicken feathers everywhere.

At this time, a burst of fragrance floated into their noses, and they inhaled hard, "Smells, it smells so good. Mom is making delicious food again!"

Today’s lunch is a roujiamo and a bowl of cold tofu.

Chen Changsheng packed Dafu and Erlu's lunches first and put them in separate rattan baskets. The remaining three, mother and son, started eating first.

Chen Sanshou "ouched" and bit into a piece of roujiamo. The aroma of the meat marinade immediately rippled through his mouth. With just one bite, the meat juice flowed out of his lips.

The Roujiamo was a bit hot in his mouth, and Sanshou ate in a hurry. He blew a few breaths to calm down, but even if his mouth was hot again, he still swallowed the Roujiamo.

"Mom, this Roujiamo is so delicious!" Sanshou licked the marinade on his lips, "This marinade! This gravy!"

Chen Sixi couldn't wait and took a bite, "Look! There are eggs too!"

After so many years, eggs have been eaten at home again!

The Roujiamo was a little choked, so Sanshou picked up the tofu and prepared to take a sip.

"Wait a minute! There's still some ingredients left."

Chen Changsheng seemed to have remembered something. He stood up and went to get a bowl, scooped out two spoonfuls of the brown sugar he bought in the city today, stirred it with water and dissolved it, and there was a bowl of brown sugar water.

After pouring a little bit on everyone's tofu bowl, Sanshou took a sip and closed his eyes comfortably.

Wuwuwuwu, what kind of magical day is this?

How can it be so delicious!
