Joe's Farming

It has been a long time since Mr. and Mrs. Bai had a meal together as a family, and they are still a little uncomfortable.

Qiao Yu specially arranged for them to sit next to the old man.

The old man has always been good at chatting with people of their age, and soon the three of them were chatting together.

Bai Ming was not so reserved because he had acquaintances around. He was just surprised at how good Ling Lie's cooking skills were. No wonder he could be Qiao Yu's chef.

After dinner, Qiao Yu asked Li Xin and Bai Ming if she could sleep with him.

Li Xin thought it was no big deal and agreed.

Because Bai Lan got married and moved away, there was a guest room in the house, which was just right for Bai's father and mother to live in temporarily.

Bai Ming said embarrassedly: "I will go to the village to find a house as soon as possible. I wonder where Ling Lie lives?"

Qiao Yu pointed to the villa under the moonlight and a long row of tiled houses outside.

"They live in a dormitory at the foot of the mountain. You can ask your uncle and aunt, and if you don't mind, you can choose a dormitory to live in. But it may not be convenient for the three of you to live in the dormitory. You can also choose a piece of land to build a house yourself."

Bai Ming looked at the quiet villa in the moonlight and felt very fond of it for some reason.

"Okay, I'll go ask my parents. If I buy the land, how much does it cost? Should I go to the head of the village to buy it?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Just ask my brother to buy it. That mountain and that mountain are all my brother's mountains."

Bai Ming was once again shocked by Qiao Yu's strength: "Okay, okay. Then my parents and I will go choose a place tomorrow. Brother Qiao, you are not allowed to give us less money."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll sell it to you at the market price."

Only then did Bai Ming feel at ease to wash up and rest.

Ling Lie endured for the entire meal and finally found the opportunity to ask Qiao Yu what was going on.

Qiao Yu told Ling Lie everything that happened along the way.

Li Xin, who was listening on the side, was so angry at his uncle Bai Ming's family that he jumped up and down.

"Well done. If anyone says in front of me that a man should be this or that, I will tear his mouth apart."

Ling Lie couldn't help but look at Li Xin twice more, and felt that the angry Li Xin was so cute.

Mr. and Mrs. Bai stayed in Qiao Yu's house temporarily.

A few days later, a piece of land was selected behind the villa.

A month and a half later, the family of three moved into their own small yard.

Bai Ming could read and write, and worked as an accountant alongside Wang Decai. However, he was mainly in charge of the expenses of other workshops besides the villa.

Mr. Bai started selling local specialties from Lingyun Villa.

This is his old profession.

During this period, Qiao Yu's beef offal hotpot and Maoxuewang also became well-known.

Many people come here to taste it.

Many guests even came from as far north as New Zealand.

The customers from the north generally cannot eat spicy food, so Qiao Yu launched a mutton hotpot set meal and started selling chive sauce.

For this purpose, Qiao Yu even grew bean sprouts in the shed where he made salted duck eggs.

Mung bean sprouts, pea sprouts, soybean sprouts, peanut sprouts.

It is so that we can use it for hot pot in the cold winter.

When the first winter snow came, the three little ones started their holiday, and Qiao Yu made chestnut crisps at home.

Steam the chestnuts and crush them.

Then add the eggs, flour, starch, cream and butter.

Chestnuts are sweet in themselves, so Qiao Yu did not add any extra sugar.

After mixing well, cover with wet gauze and let it ferment naturally.

Then pour it into square molds and bake in a bread oven.

Just bake it for the time it takes to bake a cup of tea.

As soon as Gu Feng opened the wooden lid of the bread oven, the whole yard was instantly filled with the mixed aroma of chestnuts and cream.

Li Xin exclaimed: "What kind of killer weapon is this that can improve people's happiness?"

Qiao Yu tapped his forehead and said, "Go wash your hands quickly, or you won't be able to grab them from others."

Gu Xiaoyan waved her red little hands: "Little Daddy, I washed it!"

Qiao Yu said distressedly: "Didn't I tell you not to take cold showers? What if you get frostbite?"

Gu Xiaoyan laughed and said, "It's okay, it's not cold."

Qiao Yu cut the chestnut crisps into pieces and asked Gu Feng to deliver them to his elder brother, sister-in-law, and Wen Ge'er and the others.

After dividing it, they brought their own food into the main room.

A brazier was lit in the main room, with a pot of ginger and rice tea simmering on it.

It is especially suitable to pair it with chestnut crisps on this day.

Gu Feng was eating with great relish and saw Gu Heng in his arms staring at his brother and sister with drooling eyes.

Gu Feng: "Qiao'er, can you give it to the baby?"

Qiao Yu shook her head apologetically: "He can't eat it."

Gu Feng wiped his son's saliva and said softly, "Be good, baby. Wait until you grow up before eating."

"Next month, I'll make baby food for him next month. I remember that babies can eat when they are four months old, so you can feed him then."

"it is good."

The three little ones didn't have any homework for the winter vacation, so Qiao Yu was afraid that they would be bored, so she asked Li Xin to assign some for them.

You can go out and play only after you finish your work every day.

Qiao Yu never thought that she would become such a parent one day. Perhaps this is what it means, "One day, you will grow up to be the adult you hate."

Gu Feng didn't quite agree, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

I can only ask Qiao Yu indirectly: "Qiao'er, why do you let the children do homework every day? Do you want our children to take the imperial examination?"

Qiao Yu was stunned: "No, the imperial examination is so tiring, why do you want to take it?"

"Then why do you let them do their homework at home every day?"

"If I don't let them do their homework at home, they will definitely go up the mountain to collect firewood every day, or go to the villa to feed chickens and ducks.

There are three primary school students who think about doing work for me every day, and I let them do all the housework!

Students should behave like students, and I am doing this for their own good."

Gu Feng shut up.

Every child in this village has been helping with housework since childhood.

But his Qiaoer is different. Their family really doesn't need children to help with work.

"However, the three little ones were quite happy to set up a stall last time. I think the New Year is coming soon. I might as well open a New Year's goods market in the villa and clear out our inventory at the same time."

Gu Feng was a little confused, Qiao Yu smiled and said: "Just sell the things our family has stored during this period. I see there are quite a lot of them piled up in the warehouse.

Oh, right. It’s time to dig our lotus roots. I almost forgot!”

His fish pond has been in an ornamental state since fish and lotus were raised there, and fishing is only for the guests of the villa for fun.

Now is the time to catch the fish in there.

Gu Feng had never dug lotus roots before, but he went into the water in this season. Gu Feng frowned and said:

"I'll ask someone to dig it up tomorrow."

Qiao Yu also thought that they had no means of keeping warm, so he warned them, "You and Big Brother are not allowed to go into the water. We will hire someone to dig. One hundred coins a day."

Gu Feng subconsciously wanted to say it was too expensive, but then he thought that his husband was feeling sorry for him.

Let this money be earned by those who need it!

The recipe for chestnut crisps requires baking powder. Mix it into a paste and bake it in a mold at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. It's really delicious. It's a calorie bomb. I haven't eaten it for a long time.
