The years when I opened a farmhouse in my hometown

Seeing that many netizens were discussing the differences in Yunshui Village, Shen Xiaoyun followed everyone's wishes and said: "Yes, everyone has also discovered that the environment, water quality, and air in Yunshui Village are somewhat different from those of the outside world, which makes the environment here The plants are particularly lush, and the mountains and waters are very nourishing. People in our village, from children to the elderly, seldom get sick."

And even if you are sick, you can find a doctor in the village and prescribe some herbal medicine to go home, and you will be fine after drinking it. This is quite normal for the whole village.

However, most of those who left Yunshui Village were not in good health, and there were more or less minor ailments.

Like Shen Xiaoyun, colds rarely happened in the past, but later when he went to the county town, went to university and went to further places, colds and fevers would happen from time to time, but he didn’t take medicine, drink more boiled water, and he would go away after two or three days. alright.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were stunned. They just like this kind of place. In the past, they saw a lot of people bringing water from the mountains, and they thought it was strange. Now they want to drink the water from the host’s village crazily. Water from the well.

"Anchor! Anchor, is what you said true or false? No one in the village is sick. My God, I have been plagued by various diseases all year round. I wish I could move to the anchor's village now!"

"I want to ask, anchor, can your village accept foreigners to live in? I'm talking about the kind of long-term stay. I want to experience it in the past. Anyway, I am a freelancer and I can control my time freely."

"...Didn't everyone find a very strange problem? There are almost no young people in the anchor's village, not even middle-aged people. There are only a few children occasionally, or the kind of children who carry their backs. I think I’ve been there several times, and I feel a little scared.”

"After listening to the story above, I also discovered this problem. I have been thinking about what went wrong. Why are all the old people left in the anchor's village..."

"Thinking is terrifying!"

Shen Xiaoyun really didn't expect that the topic of netizens would turn to this aspect.

"Everyone, don't think about it. The reason why our village is like this is because we are too poor and young people don't want to stay in the village. Especially in the past ten years, the village has access to roads. Not only the young, but also the young and strong, all After moving out, many of them don’t want to come back. They settled down in the city and gave birth to their children. Some of them didn’t have time to take care of their children, so they left their children here and asked the elderly to look after them. They picked them up when they could walk. It’s over.” When it came to this topic, it seemed particularly sad.

Moreover, this problem has become more and more serious in recent years, so that there are no young people in the village at all, like Shen Xiaoyun's father's generation, very few can stay in the village.Most of them went out and never came back. As for the elders at home, they said they sent some money back, but Yunshui Village was almost isolated from the outside world. For the villagers, the money really couldn't make up for their spiritual damage.

Years of loneliness, being abandoned by the younger generation, the villagers are very sad and helpless, but there is no way, Yunshui Village is really too poor.

Shen Xiaoyun's elder brother, Shen Yunhai, was also one of these young people who left the village.Most of the people in Yunshui Village can endure hardships, as long as they are willing to work hard, they are generally not too bad, they are unwilling to come back, and Shen Yunhai is the same.

And Shen Yunhai is much better than many young people in the village. He will come back and live for ten days every year, and he won't come back all year round.

In Yunshui Village, if they haven't returned to the village for more than two years, the elders in the village who are in charge of the ancestral hall will cancel their qualifications for owning fields in Yunshui Village!

This is also supported by many villagers in Yunshui Village. If it weren't for this, there would be more people who would not want to come back.

"...If one day our village becomes richer, with spacious roads built, and every household with Internet access, refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners, they will definitely come back." But what year and month will that day be?

Shen Xiaoyun didn't know either, he only remembered that the mountain road opened in their village was brought by the country to dig the mountain and break rocks, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources, and it took several years.

At that time, Shen Xiaoyun was still young, and he had some sporadic memories that were ignorant. When he was in high school, the village was powered on, and it was only a few years before the village had electricity.

People of the older generation are used to suffering, and they are also used to the days of self-sufficiency. They feel sorry for the younger generation and don't want them to stay in this ravine.But once they parted, it would be a long time, and they would not even be able to see each other for many years. This kind of difficult choice, like heart-breaking, finally let them go.

Shen Xiaoyun's tone was full of anticipation and longing, but it fell into the ears of the netizens in the live broadcast room, but felt a sense of sadness and helplessness.

In fact, many of them came from the countryside, and some even moved out of the mountains, lived in the city, and then settled down. They often did not return to their hometown for several years due to work reasons.

Humans are emotional animals and are easily infected by the emotions of others.

"When the anchor said this, I thought of my hometown. I went out to work with my wife, and my child was thrown to my hometown. I haven't gone back for three years. I suddenly feel very sorry for my parents."

"...Actually, our village is also like this. I was sick and went back to my hometown to recuperate. There were almost no young people in the village. I felt very sad when I watched it. Fortunately, you are in your village as the anchor. You must persevere and make the anchor a good one. Sell ​​more specialties in the village, and strive to get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible.”

"... No wonder the anchor will become the hope of the whole village. Like you, the whole village must treat you as a treasure."

"Don't say anything. In the future, as long as the anchor sells products, I will support them. And the anchor you sell is really cheap. I'm worried that you won't be able to make money. It's only a few cents. head."

"Looking at what was said above, I suddenly became anxious for the host."

"According to the trend of anchors, buy TVs in three years, pull network cables in five years, buy refrigerators in ten years, install air conditioners in 20 years, and build roads in 50 years. Half of the soil..."

"What's going on upstairs?! It's obviously a very sad topic, but when you say that, I almost die laughing."

"The upstairs is trying to make me laugh to death, so I bought a lot of bamboo shoots from the anchor's house, right?"

"No, I really can't hold back, I can't hold back anymore, I laughed so hard that tears came out."

Shen Xiaoyun was dumbfounded by this message: "Actually, it's not that exaggerated. Look, I'm motivating the whole village to start a business now? And now I have some source of income. I think as long as everyone is willing to do it, they will all be willing to do it." Do it, don't be afraid of suffering, the whole village will work hard together, and it will definitely get better. As for the commodity price issue, in fact, you don't have to worry too much. Our price is relatively low here. If you earn less, you will earn less. Small profits but quick turnover. If there is more quantity, there will be some profit."

"Wow! Your mentality is really good, anchor. Since you think so, it's good. As long as the quality of vegetables is guaranteed, we will continue to support you as always."

"I have to admit, I just paid attention to the anchor because I was greedy for the cheap food sold by the anchor. These days, it is really not easy to meet a conscientious anchor."

"I think one side of water and soil nurtures one side of people. Haven't you seen that the people in the anchor's village are very simple and kind? It's exactly the same as the kind of good mountains, good water, and good people I imagined. Tempted by material interests, each family is self-sufficient, without all kinds of troubles in life, and naturally, the mentality is also very good."

"I now hope that the anchor's farmhouse can be run quickly. I made it clear in advance that I just want to see the anchor himself. As for what to eat, I don't care."

…………

While interacting with the netizens in the live broadcast room, she picked purslane. After more than three hours, Shen Xiaoyun filled the baskets and bags she brought.There are a lot of wild vegetables like purslane in the fields, and after picking a bunch, after a while, another bunch will grow, very fast, so there is no need to worry about not having anything to eat in the future.

He checked the time, and found that it was already ten o'clock, and Shen Xiaoyun wanted to call his grandfather and the others to go back together, but he saw that there were no two elders in the melon field at all.

Presumably he must have been too fascinated to interact with the netizens when he was the anchor, he didn't hear the shouts of the grandpa and the others, and he didn't notice that the two old people had left.

"Okay, I'm going back now, and I'll prepare pickled plums and vegetables for lunch." With a basket in hand and a sack on her back, Shen Xiaoyun strode towards home.

A sack may seem like a lot, but wild vegetables like purslane have many stems, leaves, and branches. A sack weighs only about ten catties, and there is even less boiling water. The ones on his body are not enough for half the people in the village. .

When Shen Xiaoyun returned home, Tai Ye Tai Gao and the others boiled the purslane they had picked and took it outside to dry.The plum dried vegetables that Shen Xiaoyun put outside before had been put away.

Mother Shen and grandma cooked a pot of rice, because there were a lot of people who wanted to eat, they cooked several pots of rice and put them in wooden barrels in advance, covered with a damp cloth, and they were cooking again, and there were two pots left for cooking Prepare.

Father Shen is handling the picked pumpkin vines, peeling off the part that was pinched, so that the pumpkin vines will be more tender and crispy.Grandpa is peeling wild rice stems in a corner of the yard. The outer layer of green leather is covered with baskets of white and tender wild rice stems.

Shen Xiaoyun moved the picked purslane to the backyard to wash. Halfway through washing, she heard Shen's mother say that the pork was brought back and asked Shen Xiaoyun to come over to help.

Fifty catties of pork is also quite a lot, which can be distributed to more than 600 people, and there are only a few slices of meat in the mouth. Maybe there will be none, so this dish must be planned in advance.

Dried plum vegetables and braised pork, which are often served at banquets in Yunshui Village, and usually there is a quantity of meat.

"Xiaoxiao, you will be in charge of cutting the meat for a while, so hurry up, today's meal is a bit late, so hurry up." Mother Shen saw that Shen Xiaoyun was still washing the purslane, she dragged Shen Xiaoyun and ran into the front room.

"Wait, I'll get my phone." While washing the vegetables, Shen Xiaoyun put the phone near the sink without putting anything else.

"Your grandma and I will go to the pot in the back to fry the vegetables, and your dad and the others will be in charge of cooking. You are fast with your hands and feet and work quickly, so you will be responsible for cutting the meat. Your grandma will help you look at it." Come on, don't worry, you won't make mistakes." In fact, in Shen's house, Shen Xiaoyun's cooking is really so-so, and the fried dishes are more delicious than grandma's.Because Shen Xiaoyun often lays hands down, he can order around when there is nothing to do, and he is used to it, so he is very good at chopping vegetables.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Shen Xiaoyun wiped the water off her hands, grabbed her mobile phone and ran to the front hall, the pork was bought on the spot, if it was available early in the morning, there would be no need to panic.

Moreover, braised pork with prunes and vegetables is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive dish. Today's lunch is rice, and the stir-fried vegetables should be served together.

When Shen Xiaoyun came to the kitchen, the pork that was bought had already been cleaned, cut up, thrown into boiling hot water, and boiled to filter out the blood foam in the pork and remove the fishy smell.

It is troublesome and time-consuming to pickle the dried plum vegetables, so the family prepares other tasks early, such as the dried plum vegetables, which have been fried with oil, garlic, chili, onion and ginger, and seasonings. Waiting for the pork to be steamed together.

Usually, when we eat dried plums, we make buns and steamed buns at home, steam them in a steamer, and separate them with large soup bowls.Today, this dish is specially steamed in a steamer.

In the kitchen, no matter who is in charge of lighting the fire, helping to cut vegetables, or taking the dishes, there are people who divide and cooperate, and everything is in order.

Shen Xiaoyun hung her mobile phone on the window sill on the side of the pot and stove, so that she could have a better view and live broadcast the scene of cooking to the netizens in the live broadcast room at a closer distance.And put it on the windowsill, so you won't knock your phone because you are too hasty sometimes.

"I'll make pickled pork with dried plums and vegetables for everyone later, because I'm in a hurry and I don't have time to interact with you while cooking, so please bear with me."

Knowing for a long time that the anchor's family is going to build a house, the netizens who are used to being greedy and drooling have become extraordinarily indifferent.

"I know, I know, the main broadcaster should go, we are all very mature netizens, and we have already learned how to watch unmanned live broadcasts."

"Well, I seem to be used to live broadcasting alone."

"Humph╭(╯^╰)╮, I've already gotten used to the days when the anchor doesn't pay attention to me, especially when there's delicious food, I ignore it the whole time. I'm so arrogant, but I still love the anchor deeply."

…………

After waving with netizens, Shen Xiaoyun turned over the pork in the pot with chopsticks, and inserted the fat part with chopsticks. Seeing that the chopsticks could be inserted to the bottom, she quickly scooped up the pork in the pot and put it into the prepared cold water Soak for a while.

Fifty catties of pork cannot be filled in one pot at one time, so it needs to be boiled twice.

Grandma Tai cut up the remaining pork and put it in the pot of boiling water just now, while Shen Xiaoyun rolled up her sleeves, took out the pork soaked in cold water, wiped off the water on the surface, and put it on the chopping board.

Another iron pan was also on fire. After the pan was heated, pour in vegetable oil, put the pork that had been wiped dry into the pan and fry slowly over low heat.To make the large piece of pork with dried plums and vegetables, you only need the part with the skin on it. When the fat part with the skin is fried to brown, the skin is browned, exuding bursts of meaty aroma, and the other sides are also slightly fried. Take a moment to restrain the juice in the pork, so that when steaming, the large pieces of pork will not spread out, and the shape is particularly perfect and beautiful.

After repeatedly frying all the boiled pork, Shen Xiaoyun picked up the kitchen knife and began to cut these large and long pieces of pork.

Grandma cleaned both pots, filled them with half a pot of water, covered the pots, and urged the grandpa who was in charge of the fire to increase the firewood and bring the water to a boil.

Turn around and stir-fry the dried plums that are already very fragrant, and put them on the plate, layer by layer, and put them on the desk near Shen Xiaoyun.

At this moment, Shen Xiaoyun had already picked up the kitchen knife, pressed the side of a large piece of pork with golden skin with one hand, and began to cut it.The pork is soaked in cold water after blanching, the pork becomes firm and elastic, and it cuts smoothly.

Shen Xiaoyun's technique is fast, and she cuts very carefully. She remembered what her mother told him, that every slice is very thin, and every piece of pork is fat and thin, and the meat looks very beautiful.

After cutting that piece of pork, use a kitchen knife to wipe the underside of the meat slice, and all the ladder-like slices of meat circle around the plate in a fan shape, and all the shiny slices of meat cover the dried plums under the plate.A large piece of pork, the sliced ​​meat can hold three plates of dried plums and vegetables, and when it is ready, Grandma will put a large bowl on it, turn it around and place them in the steamer one by one.

Under Shen Xiaoyun's knife, these slices of meat are extremely obedient, each slice is thin and uniform in thickness, the key is that Shen Xiaoyun cuts it very quickly.When cutting meat, it is as smooth as cutting vegetables and melons. A large piece of pork can be cut in just one minute, and it can be perfectly placed in a good shape after cutting.No need to use your hands, just wipe it with a kitchen knife, and even the fat in the meat is not wasted at all, all sprinkled on the dried plums.

Plates of dried plums, vegetables and buckwheat were arranged and put into the steamer. At this time, the water in the two halves of the pot was boiled. Cover the steamer lid and steam for an hour, and it will be out of the pot.

After scrubbing the kitchen knife and the chopping board, and finally washing her greasy hands, Shen Xiaoyun took down the cell phone from the window sill.

"We need to wait for a while to finish. I'm going to drink some water now. Hey, I have a phone number. I'll check it first. I'll chat with you later." Shen Xiaoyun flicked the screen and saw the strange man The phone number, staring at the other party's phone for a long time, the other party has been persistently dialing, he looked at it for a few seconds, and then connected.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Shen Xiaoyun was a little strange, just now he saw a reminder that he had nearly five missed calls.

"Ahhhhh, we finally got through! Are you the anchor! Ah, no, I want to ask if you are Shen Xiaoyun? I'm Wang Yuheng. I'm here to look for you. Hurry up and pick me up! I'm here with you now It's over." On the other end of the phone was a very young man with a somewhat immature voice, muttering all the time, the voice was so loud that Shen Xiaoyun could feel his ears buzzing.

"Wang Yuheng?" Who is this?Shen Xiaoyun was a little confused, the key point was that he was not familiar with this name at all.

"...Are you mistaken, I don't know you..."

"I know you don't know me, but I know you! I'm just the handsome brother who watched your live broadcast and gave you a reward. You don't remember, you also sent me bacon and pickles, my family already ate them It’s in my stomach. I started to take the train in the morning, and now I’m in your city, and I took a taxi to your county seat. The driver was very cruel. He said he only took us to the county seat, not to the town, and said that we would need two more if we went to the town Hours! But when we get to the county seat, it will be three or four in the afternoon, what should I do now? How can I go to your village tonight, anchor, please come and pick me up quickly.” The voice on the other end of the phone looked pitiful, full of Begging, and sniffing from time to time.

"I have always said that I want to charter a car, give me the car, but the driver just doesn't agree, and I don't know why. It was my assistants who forced us to compromise and take us to the county town."

It took Shen Xiaoyun a long time to digest the news. He really didn't expect that his farmhouse hadn't been built yet, and someone really came here from a long distance.

"...Do you think this will work? When you arrive at the county seat, take a taxi to the town and I will take someone to the town to pick you up. Do you think this will work?" After all, it is the first customer, or the first time, Shen Xiaoyun I think it is necessary to go to receive it.

"Then when will you come to pick me up? Your place is so dilapidated and old that I'm afraid that I'll be kidnapped into the mountains. Anchor, come quickly. I won't worry until I see you in person." The voice was still With crying and fear, the kind that makes you feel super wronged when you hear it.

On a highway in downtown Wuling, there were four other people inside a rental car, except the driver.

In the back row, Wang Yuheng, who was on the phone with a mobile phone, looked out the window bitterly, full of disgust and sadness, and complained from time to time.

"Why do you have so much dust here? It looks dirty. Why don't you plant more big trees? Planting some flowers is also good. The road is also broken, and the car is also broken. You can change it. It’s new. Seriously, you can sell this car to us, I’m willing to pay double the price.” The young man said it sincerely, but the driver in the front seat broke out in a cold sweat.

The three assistants beside him were all wearing uniform black suits and black leather shoes.

"We Wang Shao said, give us the car."

"Money is easy to talk about."

"Go ahead."

The driver holding the steering wheel was sweating profusely, and his mind was full of being robbed.

"..."

What kind of weirdos are these guys? He has been driving this car for almost ten years, and the broken air conditioner is all broken. These people are crazy, and they still want this kind of car. He wants to call the police!
