My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 342 New Changes in Dongtian

  After eating the big buns for breakfast, the young couple got busy.

  Wang Jusheng gave a lot of pork. Chen Ling thought that since he was going to make bacon, he would have to spend more on the whole time, so he went to various houses in the village and bought some more, adding up to half a pig.

   In addition to the pig head given by Wang Jusheng, the pig went into the water, and even if the bacon was finished, there was enough for the two of them to eat.

  In the morning, perhaps knowing that Chen Ling's family is going to make bacon, Da Ni'er and Wu Ni'er are here again.

Wu Ni'er came to help with Rui Rui, and Da Ni'er and Wang Susu washed the pork piece by piece, evenly smeared a layer of coarse salt, and then put it into a clay pot layer by layer, and marinated for four or five days. Left and right, you can take it out and wash it with warm water, string it on a hook, and hang it above the stove.

  The daily cooking and cooking are naturally smoked, and when the time comes, it becomes a fragrant bacon.

  Sausage is a little more troublesome. It is made of pig intestines, and then the meat is cut into small pieces, and various seasonings are added to the banquet. At noon the next day, the casings are stuffed into the casings, and the same can be hung above the stove for smoking.

   After the pork was marinated that day, Chen Ling cleaned up the pig head, simmered it in the pot, and ate the fragrant pork head at night.

  The pork was marinated, and then it was not idle. I picked some fat chicken and duck and slaughtered it to make wax chicken and duck.

  The bacon made by farmers in the mountains tastes different, but the method is roughly similar to that of bacon.

  The whole chicken and duck are cleaned and hung up, but the chicken and duck you choose to make the chicken and duck should be fatter, otherwise it will be dry without meat, and it will not taste good.

   killed a dozen chickens and a dozen ducks in one go.

  I took a lot of chicken offal and duck offal, these are also good things.

   Feed the dogs that are difficult to handle and have peculiar smell, and use the remaining ones that are easy to handle to make earthen hot pot.

This earthen hot pot is still in the style of a mandarin duck pot. It was Chen Ling's craving last year. At that time, Wang Susu was just pregnant. When he went to buy a juicer, he made a special pot for him to make. He used the soup base from yesterday's stewed pig's head, and then simply fried it. Make a spicy pot base, just enough to make a mandarin duck pot.

In addition to chicken offal and duck offal, I also cut some mutton slices. Chicken offal and duck offal are drained and have a fishy smell. It is better to eat them in a spicy pot. As for mutton, after raising this sheep from Chen Ling's family, it is really surprising. Fresh and tender, almost no fishy smell, clear soup will be more delicious.

   There are also side dishes such as tofu, meatballs, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, potatoes, sauerkraut, etc., enough for the young couple to have a lively meal.

  Wang Susu was very surprised by the taste of duck blood and duck intestines cooked in a hot pot. After eating it, the tip of her nose sweated and her lips were red, which made Chen Ling laugh for a while.

  Rui Rui, this little brat, doesn't know what to say, so he also followed him.

   Then the next day, the little guy suddenly found out that when he woke up, he ran into the cot again.

   Today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.

   When eating breakfast, Chen Ling saw that her daughter-in-law liked spicy food more and more in the past two years, so she said that next time I make sausages, I will make more spicy ones.

  Wang Susu was surprised: "Spicy? Do you want to put chili in it?"

   "Yes." Chen Ling nodded: "Also add salt and other seasonings, even if you add chili, in addition to the spiciness, you can also add sugar to make it sweet, which is also delicious."

  Wang Susu listened to the rarity and smiled: "Then let's make it next year. I've never heard of spicy and sweet ones before."

  …

  As soon as the twelfth lunar month is twenty, time seems to fly by quickly.

   The Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone has a smile on their face, and they are busy all year round, and no one wants to leave their anger in the twelfth lunar month.

   In the twelfth lunar month, people began to pay attention to their speech. They only said nice things to each other and didn't talk about troubles.

  This year, the village has also agreed that a temple fair will be held next year, and it is decided to set off fireworks twice on the night of the New Year’s Eve and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so that the villagers can watch it when the time comes.

   The red lanterns were hung up early.

   Let everyone look forward to it all at once.

  Looking forward, looking forward, time flies, and soon the big day will come.

   But there is no New Year's Eve this year, only the twenty-ninth year.

  Chen Ling's family cleaned up the village, yard and farmhouse two days in advance, posted Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters, and hung up new lanterns.

   On the twenty-ninth year, I burn incense and light candles at night, and after everything is tidy up.

   And the animals in the family, dogs, cows, eagles, and even a few weasels also called home and fed them all.

  Chen Ling also put the outstanding ornamental fish and red koi in the house, adding a bit of joy.

  At eight o'clock in the evening, after it was completely dark, all the households lit torches beamingly, and the little ones lit lanterns, and went out in a lively manner.

There were small snowflakes scattered in the sky. Wang Laishun led the people in the brigade to line up the fireworks in two long rows on the dam. After lighting, the fireworks rushed into the sky one by one and bloomed into one flower in the night sky. A bright firework.

  The villagers shouted lively, and the little boys ran around clapping their hands and screaming.

The Chen Ling family of three stood in the crowd watching the fireworks. The two adults raised their heads, and in the middle was a pink-carved jade doll with a pair of black eyes. They also raised their heads and looked at the sky without blinking. grinned happily.

  The fireworks bloomed one after another for half an hour, and the faces of the two big ones and one small one were illuminated with glowing red.

  …The fireworks were over, and the family of three returned home with the bustling crowd.

   began to eat New Year's Eve dinner.

Turning on the TV and watching the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Ling took off his thick coat, and put on only a sweater and cotton vest to serve the meal. A family of three eats New Year's Eve dinner and watches the Spring Festival Gala.

   From time to time, the cotton curtain at the door shook for a while, and a group of little fat dogs came in and out with their bones in their mouths. After eating, they fought with the weasel again. Under the table and under the chairs, they were running back and forth and joking.

Seeing this, Chen Ling scolded a few words, and brought Heiwa, Xiaojin and Erbald into the house. Even Xiaobainiu didn't take him back to the village. He stuck his big head at the door and opened his eyes to moo into the house. Call.

  Celebrate the New Year, it is enough to have fun together.

  …

   1997 is here, this year is a special year.

   is special to the country, has a special impact on the people, and is also special to Chen Ling.

  Because the New Year has just passed, the Sun Moon Cave has changed again.

   In the range shrouded in milky white mist, a new territory was opened up to him again.

  Sun and Moon Cave Heaven is truly worthy of its name, and finally there is a sun and moon, but this sun and moon looks illusory, like the projection of the sun and moon outside.

   But no matter what, with the sun and the moon, it means that there are days and nights in the cave.

  The jasper tree has new shoots, and the spiritual water spring formed by the dilution of spiritual dew has gradually expanded again, and the once stream has become a river.

  The lake where the fish is kept is getting deeper and deeper.

   The Leopard Mountain, where the leopard is located, has also been piled up by the stones that Chen Ling has successively brought in these days. Now it is covered with soil under the control of Chen Ling, and flowers, plants and trees grow. It can be said to be a paradise for leopards.

   Now we are about to catch the female leopard.

   Now the area of ​​Dongtian has expanded, and the newly opened territory is very barren, with no vegetation and vegetation, like a blank site reserved for him, let him do it himself.

   But after Chen Ling went to see it, he felt that it was not the case.

   But the area of ​​100 acres of jasper trees is very special.

   That area is like a real paradise.

The   jasper tree is undoubtedly the core of the Sun Moon Cave.

   The open new territory seems to be a space that has just been developed. There is only bare land, and the soil is not much better than the outside soil, or even less fertile than the outside soil.

  Chen Ling observed it for a few days and saw that the soil of the new territory was infiltrated by the spiritual energy flowing in the cave, and it gradually became full of inspiration and fertile.

Seeing this, Chen Ling had a whim, and directly blocked the spiritual energy, attracting a large amount of water vapor from the external reservoir, freezing the new territory into a world of ice and snow, which was more thorough than the winter snow environment he had specially created before, and directly formed a world of ice and snow. A small snow plateau.

   This is also good for him to cultivate various species.

   Even if you don’t use it now, you can save it for later.

  After the first month, I have to buy some livestock, not only cattle, but also mules and horses. Besides work, I can eat meat until the end of the year.

  The sheep killed at the end of the year eat quite well. I believe that after other animals are raised, the meat quality will be even better.

The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is another grand fireworks festival, attracting more people than everyone imagined. The next day on the 16th day of the first lunar month, there will be a temple fair in the county town. join in the fun.

On the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a lot of people gathered, and the small traders were familiar with the way. In the past, when the old turtle in the reservoir was parading, they set up stalls for many days, and later when they set up a temple fair and sang a big show, until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year. , is really a big group of people.

Moreover, the fireworks on the 15th are also longer than those on the New Year's Eve, which lasted for about an hour. There are all kinds of fireworks, some like flowers, some like waterfalls, and some like fire trees and silver flowers. There are many kinds of fireworks. Gorgeous and pretty.

  Chen Wangzhuang's name has spread farther, and more people know about the temple fair.

  On the 18th day of the first lunar month, Chenwangzhuang Primary School officially opened.

  The bears in the village have been playing crazy this winter vacation. In addition to eating and playing a lot this year, they have the opportunity to go to Chen Ling’s house to watch TV for a while.

As soon as the school started, everyone was crying, and no one was willing. The day before the school started, Liu Nier still took homework and wanted to come to the farm to find Wang Zhenzhen to help him with his homework, but Wang Zhenzhen hadn't come back, so he secretly stuffed the homework book. to the kennel.

   After school started, he told the teacher that the puppies in Chen Ling's family were too fierce. He went to Wang Zhenzhen to do his homework, and he took away his homework without paying attention and tore it to pieces. He didn't want to.

   That teacher is a teacher from Taoshugou, and he is still very young. Hearing this, he took the baby to the farm after school at noon to ask if it was true or not.

   In fact, this teacher has never been in the farm, and wanted to take this opportunity to come in and have a look.

   It happened that Han Chuang and Jiang Xiaoqing were guests on this day, so they took the teacher and Liu Nier to sit down for a drink and dinner without saying a word.

   After hearing about the intention, Chen Ling was even more righteous and helped Liu Nier to tell the lie.

Later, it was a coincidence. The puppies are now three months old, and they are two laps older than before. They are very strong, and they are no longer chubby and chubby little fat dogs, and they eat a lot of raw meat. , sharp teeth and sharp mouth, very fierce.

   The male teacher threw two bones under the table for them, but not only did they not eat it, but two puppies rushed towards him angrily, tearing the male teacher's trousers.

   startled him, and immediately believed that Liu Nier was talking nonsense.
