Joe's Farming

Qiao Yu looked over and found that it was really a narrow road for enemies to meet. It turned out that she was the biological sister of the original owner's stepmother, and she often went to the original owner's house to eat and drink.

Gu Feng glanced at the woman, who was immediately frightened and huddled close to the woman in green next to her.

The old woman pretended not to hear the woman's taunting words and answered Qiao Yu kindly, "For sale, for sale, chickens five cents, ducks six cents. I'm not feeling well today, so I want to go home early. How many do you want, young man?"

Qiao Yu looked at the basket and saw that there were still five chicks and three ducks. "Mother-in-law, give them all to me. It's a total of 43 cents. Sell me this basket too. Can you give me two cents?" Qiao Yu took out the purse from his pocket.

The old woman was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Sure, this basket is not expensive, my old man made it himself."

"Here is forty-five cents. Please keep it."

Qiao Yu took the bamboo basket and happily showed it off to Gu Feng. "I'll raise them in the backyard. When they grow up, I can eat their meat and catch insects."

Gu Feng: "If Qiaoer likes it, keep it. If not, give it to Xiaoxue and Xiaoyan."

Qiao Yu was speechless: "How can you be a father like this? How old are they?"

Tian Cuihua saw Qiao Yu and Gu Feng talking to themselves and not taking her seriously at all.

She cursed out loud: "A married man is like spilled water. It's time to go back to her parents' home today. You and your husband are running off to town to eat and drink. You are an ungrateful bastard."

Everyone looked at her. Tian Cuihua became even more excited and looked at Qiao Yu: "What are you looking at? What are you looking at? Look at you, you wear so much nice clothes and buy so many things, but you don't even say hello to people when you see them. Are you blind?"

Gu Feng also realized that this woman was most likely a member of Qiao Lao San's group. She wanted to throw her out of the car but was afraid that her husband would be implicated.

Qiao Yu gently patted Gu Feng's clenched fist and said loudly: "Whose dog is not tied up? It keeps barking there. It's so noisy."

Lin Da originally thought that since the money had not been collected yet, he might as well not let the woman get on the bus. However, when he heard that Mr. Gu was not someone to be trifled with, he started calling the woman a dog.

"You..." Tian Cuihua wanted to curse again, but was pulled back by the woman in green. "Just wait, I'll deal with you when I get back!"

Qiao Yu rolled his eyes and ignored her.

Along the way, Qiao Yu discussed with the old lady how to raise chickens and ducks, and talked with Gu Feng about when to take him to the mountains to hunt.

He treated Tian Cuihua as if she were air the whole time, which made Tian Cuihua so angry that she could only whisper bad things about him to the woman around her.

The old woman and Tian Cuihua got off the cart at the entrance of the village and each gave three cents. Although the ox cart was convenient, most people were reluctant to spend three cents for a ride.

Gu Feng and Qiao Yu lived far away, and the driver delivered the car to their doorsteps, so he charged each of them two cents more.

Originally, seeing that they had a lot of stuff today, Lin Da brought one less person, so he didn't charge less money.

Qiao Yu readily gave the money and asked Lin Da to pick him up from his home in three days to take him to the city, and paid for a round-trip car rental.

Lin Da happily agreed.

Gu Feng asked in confusion: "If Qiaoer wants to use a bullock cart, I can just go to the village chief to rent one. It won't be so troublesome."

Qiao Yu: "No, I'll make you something delicious later. If you think it tastes good, I'll sell it in town. We can't always rent from the village chief's house in the future. Lin Da is in this business, it's convenient."

After they put away the things they had bought, they took the cloth and cotton and went to pick up the child.

Aunt Shi's family made tofu and sold it in the village. At this moment, Wang Dali and his sons had gone out to pick tofu to sell. He, his wife, granddaughter and children were sewing cloth shoes in their yard. The two children were playing on the kang with little Shitou.

When he heard that his parents were coming, he ran out happily to greet them.

Qiao Yu gave each child a string of candied haws, and also gave two strings to Aunt Shi, asking her to give them to the children at home.

Qiao Yu: "Aunt, Brother Gu said you are very good at making clothes, so I went to buy some cloth. Please make two sets of autumn clothes and two sets of cotton clothes for each of our family members. You can decide how much it costs."

Aunt Shi was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Okay, okay, Qiao Ge'er, don't worry, Aunt's wife is very skillful, she and I will work together to make it for you in less than ten days."

As he spoke, he measured the sizes of Qiao Yu and the three children, but there was no need to measure Gu Feng's since he had already done it.

"Qiao'er and the child should grow bigger and taller." Gu Feng reminded.

Qiao Yu blushed. Of course, her body was in adolescence and could still grow.

Aunt Shi: "Okay, okay, okay."

In the end, Aunt Shi charged fifty cents for a set of cotton-padded clothes for adults and forty cents for small ones, and the autumn clothes were ten cents cheaper for each set, which was very affordable.

Qiao Yu paid the deposit and asked, "Aunt, do you have any leeks? And dried chilies? I'll take as many as you can."

Qiao Yu didn't buy these in town because he thought that Aunt Shi should have them. After all, farmers eat what they grow themselves, unlike Gu Feng who grows few vegetables.

Aunt Shi: "Yes, yes, I'll go cut some for you. Qiuju, go get all the dried chilies."

Finally, Qiao Yu got a bunch of leeks for free. Aunt Qiao refused to accept the money for ten kilograms of dried chili peppers, but Qiao Yu said he would buy more in the future, so she accepted thirty cents.

As for peppers, many people grow them for their own consumption. Aunt Shi's family grows more because people in her hometown love to eat them.

Qiao Yu happily took the leeks and peppers and went home with the children. Of course, Gu Feng carried all the things.

Gu Xiaoxue and Gu Xiaoyan were eating candied haws while walking, and they were very happy.

These days, every day feels like New Year to them. Their father said that if he found them a mother, they would be children with a mother, and it turned out to be true.

Mom is really so nice.

Qiao Yu bought some spices today and prepared to braise the pig offal. She also asked Gu Feng and Aunt Shi to have a taste. If they were okay with it, she would go to the town and order the butcher's supply next time and have Lin Da pick her up every day.

very perfect.

But braised pork liver is okay, but braised pig intestines is very time-consuming.

So Qiao Yu prepared to make dumplings for lunch. Gu Feng felt sorry for her husband, so he took on the heavy work of kneading the dough and chopping the stuffing.

Qiao Yu took the opportunity to wash the pig's stomach and intestines. He first went to the stove to collect some wood ash, and rubbed it repeatedly with the stomach and intestines.

Then after cleaning it, add salt and rub it again until there is no smell.

The pig lungs do not need to be braised. Instead, they are cut into thin slices and soaked in clean water, salt and old wine for an hour to soak out the blood and toxins inside. Then they are washed continuously with running water until the lung slices are white. Only then are they considered clean.

The pig lungs washed in this way will not have any peculiar smell. Finally, add ginger slices and blanch them in water, skim off the floating foam, and finally take them out and wash them again with clean water to drain the moisture.

Prepare dried chili powder, minced ginger and garlic, cook them with boiling oil, then add soy sauce, finally add some shredded radish and lung slices, mix well, and finally sprinkle some chopped green onions for garnish.

Oh, it would be perfect if we add some sesame seeds and crushed peanuts. Qiao Yu was secretly annoyed and decided to go to her aunt's house later to ask if she had any. Why didn't she think of growing some peanuts?

At this time, Gu Feng had chopped the stuffing and the dough had risen. Qiao Yu quickly chopped the washed leeks into small pieces, added two eggs, one-third of a small bowl of water, minced ginger and an appropriate amount of salt, and asked Gu Feng to stir in one direction until the dough was chewy.

Then Qiao Yu kneaded the dough into long strips, cut it into small pieces, and rolled it into thin dumpling wrappers. Two children also wanted to make dumplings, so Qiao Yu gave each of them two wrappers and asked them to give them back after they were done.

Gu Feng had never made dumplings before, but he didn’t want to let his husband make them all by himself, so he slowly learned how to make them from the side.

The whole family squeezed into the small kitchen to make dumplings, and it took them less than half an hour to finish.

A total of one hundred dumplings were made, each with a thin skin and full of fillings. They were neatly arranged on the bamboo curtain, looking very cute.

Of course, the dumplings made by the two kids were a little torn, but they said they wanted to eat them by themselves and didn’t mind.
