Physician and Food [Farming]

Gou Wa is someone who has been in contact with wealthy people.So what he said still carried weight in the ears of Liu Si and his wife.

"Hearing you say that, I can be relieved a lot." Liu Si's wife patted Gou Wa's hand and smiled.

Gouwa gave Liu Si the things he brought: "The old man who lives in my house built a greenhouse, and it was planted in late autumn, and now a lot of vegetables have come down. There are so many plants that we can't eat at home. So I went back After seeing the old man, I will give some to relatives and friends in the village. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, I will also eat some fresh ones."

Liu Si and his wife ate fresh vegetables in winter, but only once or twice.Knowing that this is a rarity.Seeing Gou Wa take it out at this time, his eyes were a little straightened.

"It must be a lot of trouble to grow these things in winter! Are you and the lock enough to eat?" Liu Si's wife asked.

"Don't worry, Suo Tou and I never lack this."

We chatted for a while, and when we left, Liu Si's daughter-in-law sent him directly to the outer door.

Walking around the village, you can know what new things have happened in the village during this time.Those who are short among the parents are those in total.It's not bad to listen to something fresh, and it's also good to talk about after dinner.

In the blink of an eye, it's already the end of the year.

Tie Dan asked Gou Wa to take out the prepared red paper, cut it and put it on the bed.I got golden ink and a bucket pen, and wrote the Spring Festival couplets myself.

Then he gave the pen to Suoto, and let him try to write the characters of blessing and horizontal script.

Suo Tou's handwriting is still remarkable now, at least among the same age, there are not many better handwriting than him.

First, he wrote two words of blessing, Gouwa picked it up and looked at it happily.He is uneducated, reading words is no different from reading pictures.Just seeing that the ink is even and the strokes are smooth, it is a rare good calligraphy in the eyes of Gou Wa.

"This is better than the ones sold outside. Brother, you see it." Gou Wa showed it to Tie Dan, wanting to hear how Tie Dan praised it.

"It's not bad. I don't need to pay attention to those. I can paste it when the ink is dry." Tie Dan asked Suo Tou to write a few more, and then passed the brush to Gou Wa. "You can try it too."

"Where can I write?" Gou Wa felt flustered even holding the pen.

"It's okay, you just follow my hand." Tie Dan held Gou Wa's hand, and the two wrote together.

No matter how lightly Gouwa puts his hand, it will inevitably affect Tie Dan.So this time the word "Fu" is not as good as the lock.

But Tie Dan picked it up to look at it, blew on the ink on it, and said with a smile: "Good writing."

Gou Wa could tell that it wasn't very good, but Tie Dan was very satisfied.Gou Wa naturally knew that Tie Dan liked it because the word was written by the two of them.Can't help feeling sweet and warm in my heart.

"Tomorrow morning, let's kill a pig and a sheep to eat enough for the first month. We kill the chickens and ducks in the morning and make New Year's Eve dinner." Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so Gou Wa planned to kill livestock.

The customs are different in different places, and here I prefer to eat fresh ones on New Year's Eve.In this way, the meat eaten after the New Year is the rest of the previous year.It's also a compliment.

"Don't need to kill the cow?" Tie Dan asked.

"That's too much, we only have a few people in total. The snow will melt in another month, and the meat will go bad by then. It won't taste good if it is marinated." Gou Wa arrived.

"How about making bacon?" Tie Dan asked.

Gouwa bought it for him after eating iron eggs. He knew it was delicious, but he couldn't make it himself: "We don't know how to make it. Even if we do it, it may not be a good one. What if it is ruined."

Tie Dan also felt that this made sense, so he said with a smile: "In the coming year, we will consider finding a long-term worker who can make bacon at home. At worst, we will raise more livestock."

"What do we have now is not enough to eat?" Gou Wa was a little helpless.

After the plan is made, let's go to the long-term worker's residence and talk about it.Zhao Dongzhi knows how to kill livestock, so I leave this matter to him.Li Taohua can't help with this kind of thing, but Zheng Si can follow suit.This year's New Year's Eating Meat is counting on Zhao Dongzhi.

How can there be no fish in the New Year?But there is no one around the village to raise fish, the river is frozen solid, and there are no big fish, so it is not worth digging into the ice to get fish.There are dried fish and cured fish at home, but these are better than fresh ones after all.

Gouwa was a little worried.Blame myself for not thinking ahead.

In fact, if you want to eat in previous years, you can buy it.In other villages, there are people who raise fish and sell them at the last market before winter.

It's just that the situation this year is really bad. There was a drought in the first year, and then there was a month of heavy snowfall.Cover the fish pond with a thick layer.I don't have the energy to shovel snow and fish at all.

"Brother, do you think fish can live in water tanks?" There are several large water tanks in the hut behind Gou Wa's house.There are ten large water tanks around the stove in the greenhouse for easy use at any time.

If you want to raise fish in a tank, it seems feasible.

"It's okay, but it takes some work to change the water and feed." Tie Dan said, "Want to eat fish?"

Tiedan still doesn't understand Gouwa?If you can ask, you must have thought about it.

Gouwa nodded a little embarrassedly: "It's Chinese New Year, I always feel that there is something missing without fish."

In previous years, there were times when fish could not be eaten during Chinese New Year.But that's basically because the family is too poor to afford it.Now that the family is well-off, but there is still no fish to eat, I feel weird in my heart.

"Isn't that hard to say? You can eat it anytime you want." After Tie Dan finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "But we must close the door to eat our own food, and we must not tell anyone else."

Gouwa understood and blinked at Tie Dan.

His immortal is about to show his supernatural powers again.

Early the next morning, Gouwa got up first, and after washing up, he poured warm water and called Tie Dan and Shutou.While they were washing up, let's go to Chang Gong's place first.

As soon as I entered the yard, I could smell the bloody smell in the cold air.

The pig has been slaughtered, and it is almost ready to be tidied up at this time.

Li Taohua was frowning and cleaning her internal organs.And Zheng Si's side was skinning the sheep that had just been killed.The cut open parts of the pigs and sheep were still steaming and warm, obviously they had just been slaughtered.

"I've been busy so early." Seeing their hard work, Gou Wa liked it too.After all, they were hired by their own money, so they definitely don't like to see them being lazy.

Li Taohua flushed his hands, wiped them and came over to tell someone to welcome him into the house and give them hot water until late at night: "Men must be waiting to eat, of course, the sooner you clean it up, the better. Er Ye, you will eat the water sooner." Let's go back first. I will kill chickens and ducks in a while, and my blood will be heavier. Don't collide."

Gouwa blew on the hot water, shook his head with a smile, and said, "When you didn't come, I was the one who killed the chickens and sheep. Don't worry, I don't shy away from this. We don't eat much, we just choose For the New Year’s Eve dinner, you can choose the meat and cut it up. The rest should be buried in the snow. It will be enough to eat for a while before it thaws.”

Before Li Taohua came here, she hadn't smelled the smell of meat for several months.Since I came here to work, although it has been a bit hard, the level of food has improved seriously.Gouwa is a caring employer who never skimps on good things.Give them meat and rice.

Because of this, Li Taohua knows how to be grateful and cherishes the current job more.

"This is because the second master loves us." Li Taohua smiled, looked at the clean ground, and said, "Yesterday, I told Dongzhi that I plan to cook two more special dishes for the men today. Send it away. It’s just that the uncle and the second master always cook alone, so I’m afraid you won’t be used to it.”

"If you are good at it, it is of course your wish to send it here. Don't think about it. If you cook too much, you can give us a copy. I am not a cooking material. I can only do that if I know how to cook. Several kinds. Thanks to my elder brother who never gets tired of eating." Gou Wa also knows that they are filial, and this kind of thing is well-intentioned, and it is not good to disappoint.

Gou Wa has not been easy-going and said that he will have New Year's Eve dinner with the long-term workers.They are in an employment relationship. Although they are not masters and servants, it is better to distinguish between them.

Gou Wa sat for a while, seeing that they were going to kill chickens and ducks, so he didn't stay any longer.They only picked a few pieces of meat and asked them to kill them and send them over. If they wanted to eat chickens and ducks, they could kill them themselves.The chicken was chopped up, and the duck was left for him to stew whole.As for what vegetables to eat, it has been agreed one day in advance.No further orders are required at this time.

Back in my small courtyard, I heard Locke's laughter.

Gouwa quickly walked into the house, and followed the laughter into the small utility room behind the kitchen.Then I saw Tie Dan lying beside a water tank with a lock in his arms and giggling.

Gou Wa poked his head and saw that in the big water tank, two two-foot-long carps were swimming happily.

It is rare to see such a big carp, and it is even rarer to be alive at this time of year.

When Suotou saw the second uncle, he smiled and said, "Uncle! There are fish growing in our water tank."

Gou Wa looked at Tie Dan, who only smiled at him.

"Where is the long fish? It was raised here before." Gouwa was afraid that Suotou would go out and talk nonsense, so he made an excuse and said, "I bought it in autumn, but it's not big, so I raise it first. Now it's Chinese New Year It’s good to take it out and eat it. If you are greedy for fish, go and find out the wild perilla seeds, this stuff is the best for stewing fish.”

After being ordered to work, Suo Tou didn't have the energy to think about whether it was strange or not.

Suo Tou bounced around to search for ingredients.Gou Wa laughed softly, "You're not afraid of Suo Tou going out and talking nonsense."

It is a remarkable thing to conjure two such big live fish out of thin air.

Tie Dan whispered: "Suotou is not the kind of person to show off. We want to eat fish, so we can't hide from him. Let's stew one of these two fish today, and another one at fifteen. Next year we will cook in the greenhouse. Keep some in the water tank, if you eat it at home, you should not have to worry about eating fish."

Gou Wa put his hand into the water.Go touch that fish.The two fish were also courageous, and they both poked their heads to touch Gouwa's fingers, thinking it was some kind of food.

Gouwa reached out to touch it, and the two fish avoided it again.

"I have never seen such a big fish. It must be a lot of money."

"It cost nothing. I brought it from mine."

Tie Dan never explained where his place was, and Gou Wa just acquiesced that where the gods lived, it was the fairyland.
