Joe's Farming

On New Year's Eve, Qiao Yu's family specially changed into new clothes.

Everyone is in festive red.

Bai Lan combed their hair into double buns for Gu Xiaoyan and Gu Xiaoxue, and they all wore the hair accessories that Qiao Yu made for them.

It is made of snow-white rabbit fur, furry and very cute.

Qiao Xing was called over by Qiao Yu, who combed his hair into a round bun and put on a red headband.

Against Qiao Xing's pair of peach blossom eyes, it looks very eye-catching and beautiful!

Li Xin looked at Qiao Yu's family with envy. Not only them, but even Bai Lan and Da Zhuang had put on the new clothes that Bai Lan had made for them.

Looking at the child's envious eyes, Qiao Yu went into the house and took out a new set of clothes that he had not worn yet. These were also made by Bai Lan before, but he did not lack clothes now, so he had not worn them yet.

Li Xin is a little shorter than him, so he just needs to roll up his sleeves and trouser legs.

Li Xin looked at Qiao Yu in surprise: "For me?"

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Yes, this set you are wearing, plus the set I gave you. They are all your clothes for this quarter, so you have received all your clothes for this quarter. You can get two more sets of clothes every quarter in the future. How about me, am I not a bad employer?"

Li Xin immediately hugged his hand that handed him the clothes: "More than good, brother, you are really a kind person in the employer world! Thank you, thank you. I'll go change into new clothes!"

Qiao Yu happened to see Xiao Bai nearby, so he said to him, "You just heard it, I'm a very good boss.

How about it? Do you want to follow me in the future? "

Xiaobai nodded vigorously without hesitation: "Yes!"

"Well, come with Da Zhuang and the others after the New Year to help me with the work. We have a mountain to take care of."

When Xiaobai heard this, his heart was filled with anticipation for next year.

He had his own house and land, and a better job than anyone else in the village.

If I marry Da Zhuang and have another child...

Xiaobai blushed when he thought of this.

Qiao Yu: "What's wrong? You blushed suddenly. Are you shy to work for me? Weren't you helping me before?"

The pretty boy's face turned even redder: "Nothing, nothing, Qiao Ge'er, I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything I can help with."

Qiao Yu looked at her husband in some confusion.

"I didn't say anything."

Gu Feng smiled, took him to the yard to look at the new window paper-cuts that had been pasted this morning.

"Does it look good?"

Qiao Yu smiled and nodded.

There was some snow piled up in the yard and on the roof, and the red window grilles and the Spring Festival couplets posted earlier all seemed to have a festive atmosphere.

Because we will have a reunion dinner at noon, everyone has to get moving now. Of course, the old man can take a break, mainly because they already have enough manpower.

The children took Li Xin to feed the chickens, ducks, two horses, and their favorite sesame ice cream.

Milk and bread were happily chasing each other in the yard.

Gu Gang and Da Zhuang killed the chickens, and Gu Feng killed the fish.

Qiao Yu was standing by and talking to Bai Lan and Su Qing about marinating the chicken first.

Then I cut the bacon that had been soaked in cold water overnight into slices and steamed it.

After soaking overnight, the bacon will become very soft. It tastes good when steamed and is not too salty.

The sausages are also cut and steamed.

Stew the pressed duck first, then add some dried vegetables and cook together after half an hour.

Two fish were killed, one was used to make sauerkraut fish and the other was fried.

Cook the crispy pork and vegetables together into soup. This one takes less time to cook and should be placed last.

However, this dish tastes better with a dipping sauce, so Qiao Yu started to arrange for people to peel garlic.

To make the dipping sauce, pound the roasted dry chilies and garlic together, add some pepper powder and salt, and finally add water.

When Qiao Yu smelled that smell, his saliva almost flowed out.

No one ate much in the morning, so they just had some corn porridge with steamed sweet meatballs.

First, everyone is used to eating only two meals in winter, and the lunch meal is usually eaten earlier.

Second, today’s reunion dinner was so sumptuous that everyone wanted to save some food for lunch.

At this time, Gu Gang and Da Zhuang had killed the chicken, and Hong Xiu took the initiative to clean the chicken offal.

Qiao Yu took out a bowl of pickled peppers that she was going to use and then stir-fried chicken offal.

To make the chicken flavorful, you have to use bamboo sticks to poke the chicken skin, but we ran out of bamboo sticks from the last barbecue.

Just as Qiao Yu was about to use a knife to sharpen the chopsticks and poke with the chopsticks, Gu Gang quickly snatched the chopsticks away.

"Brother, tell me what you are going to do. Don't use the knife yourself."

Qiao Yu nodded awkwardly: "Just sharpen them for me, and sharpen two more. Let everyone come together to poke, quickly."

Gu Gang agreed, and he danced the knife in his hand quickly, and quickly cut four sticks for Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu took it with satisfaction and gave one to Bai Lan, Da Zhuang and Su Qing respectively.

"Come on, poke the chicken from head to toe, poke both the skin and the meat, so that it can absorb the flavor when it is marinated later."

The four of them started poking and prodding each other.

After poking, Qiao Yu started to marinate.

A little bit of old wine, onions, ginger, garlic and peppercorns are essential, one for spicy flavor and one for original honey flavor.

Meanwhile, the bread kiln is cleaned and the wood fired begins.

By the time the pickling is done, the temperature in the kiln will be about the same.

Qiao Yu first brushed a layer of honey on the original honey one, and then put it into the bread oven together with the other one.

Wait a quarter of an hour, take it out, and brush it again. Repeat this three times.

At the same time, brush the other roast chicken with chili powder when it is almost cooked. If you brush it too early, the chili will get mushy.

Chicken skin is rich in fat, so there is no need to brush it with extra oil.

At the same time, the kitchen started steaming rice and the braised pork that was made yesterday.

After leaving the roast chicken to the children who had returned to watch over it, Qiao Yu went to the kitchen to watch Bai Lan frying fish.

The fish body should be cut into small pieces so that the fish meat will look beautiful when it is fried.

The fried fish was golden, and Qiao Yu took it on a long plate specially used for fish.

Then spread the onion, ginger, garlic, chili, coriander and salt on the fish, pour some boiling oil on it, and a delicious fish is ready.

At the same time, the pickled fish in another pot was also cooked.

The pressed duck and dried vegetables were also stewed until they were salty, fragrant and tender. Qiao Yu added some sweet potato vermicelli and simmered them for a while. Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onions on them when serving.

"Little Daddy, Daddy said roast chicken is ready."

Qiao Xing came to the kitchen and talked to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu hurriedly handed him the anti-scalding gloves: "Tell your father not to burn his hands."

"Yeah." Qiao Xing took the gloves and ran out.

Qiao Yu looked at it, lifted the lid of the pot, and tasted a piece of sausage. Wow, it smells so good.

"Okay, everyone, start serving the dishes."

While everyone was serving their dishes, Qiao Yu started to prepare the cold vegetarian dishes, while Bai Lan made the last stir-fried dish, pickled pepper chicken offal.

The salad is simple, all the vegetables are cut into shreds. Since it is winter, the main ingredients are radish and cabbage.

Fortunately, there was still some dried tofu left that Wen Ge brought, and some kelp.

After cutting into strips, put it in a large bowl and mix with red oil, chili pepper, onion, garlic and other seasonings. Just mix it quickly.

Qiao Yu made this dish because she was worried that people would get sick of eating too much meat.

Anyway, he must have a combination of meat and vegetables.

Soon, a sumptuous reunion dinner was set.

There are chicken, duck, fish and meat.

Gu Feng went to the yard and set off a string of firecrackers.

Crackling, getting rid of the old and welcoming the new~~

"Happy New Year!" said Qiao Yu.

"Happy New Year!"
