The years when I opened a farmhouse in my hometown

Shen Xiaoyun didn't notice that there were netizens in the live broadcast room who wanted to ask whether they were recruiting workers. He met many elders from the same village along the way. He greeted people along the way and said a few words of thanks from time to time. The barrage in the live broadcast room.

The farmhouse is also built, and the villagers can finally relax and have a rest. Taking advantage of the free time with the banquet, everyone gathers in small groups and chats. Of course, the most common thing is that many tourists from other places have come to Yunyun recently. Things to do in the water village.

This is a big deal in Yunshui Village. In the past, being able to visit a foreign tourist or a relative could become a word of mouth among the villagers. What's more, in the current situation, hundreds of people stay in Yunshui Village to play every day.

In their view, all of these are really due to Shen Xiaoyun. Although the village head and the elders of the ancestral hall agreed and supported the establishment of the farmhouse at the very beginning, they also did ideological work for them, and they were willing to participate in it. They were still amazed by the imagining of the influx of foreigners every day.

It has been more than 20 years since Yunshui Village has been in contact with the outside world. The villagers are also gradually integrating things from the outside world into their lives. The ancestors are all in Yunshui Village. Many things are still behind.

Fortunately, the small towns outside are not prosperous, they are also very backward and poor, so when Yunshui Village approached Taohua Town outside, there was not much conflict.

They also think that things that cost a few dollars, a few cents, or even a few cents in towns or farther away counties are very expensive, so when Shen Xiaoyun offered 20 yuan for accommodation at the beginning, They feel very profitable.

It's almost like a small hotel in the town.

That's a town, can they charge so much in a rural place like them?

When there were more and more tourists, Shen Xiaoyun took the tourists to visit the craftsmen's homes in the village, and sold those cloth shoes, insoles, bamboo mats, and oiled paper umbrellas. The price was completely beyond their imagination.

What Xiaoxiao sells is so expensive, these city people look so rich, but they don’t think it’s expensive, they even say it’s cheap...

Are they cheap?

Although they are building houses every day, the helpers are busy, but their mouths and minds are still free. They talk about these foreign tourists when they have nothing to do, and then guess which one Shen Xiaoyun will take the tourists to this afternoon. Will buy their stuff...

From time to time, the villagers also brought their own things, such as finished cloth shoes, mats, and bamboo chairs, to the town for sale, but the prices they sold were passed through several hands by second-hand dealers, and the prices were very cheap. It has never been sold for such a high price.

Seeing these tourists bringing a lot of income to those families for several days in a row, the villagers were envious, but they knew that this matter should not be rushed. Xiaoxiao also said that as long as there is a craft, she will take it with her. It doesn't matter if you don't have any skills, you can plant a variety of fields, and you will collect some grain and vegetables in the future, and the price will be based on the price of the county.

The price in the county seat is much higher than that in the town, so it's a lot of money.

And the chickens, ducks and geese at home will also be collected. These are all incomes. Moreover, you can drive your own car to give away to others. The bucks are there.

This money is much easier to earn than before.

This is thanks to Xiaoxiao's good head.

Therefore, along the road, anyone who saw Shen Xiaoyun was like seeing the Little God of Wealth, with kind and friendly eyes, looking at Shen Xiaoyun as if his whole body was shining brightly, and cherishing him more than Shen Xiaoyun's parents.

"Xiaoxiao, you're here. Are you hungry? I'm making sugar water at home. Come in and taste it. I've left a lot of good things. It's for your sake that I'm willing to take it." Come out. Today is a good day, and we must make this banquet lively." Shen Xiaoyun just went out, and after only a few steps, she was grabbed by the arm by another uncle. Also enthusiastic, Shen Xiaoyun was almost dragged to his house.

"Okay, let me try it. Is it sweet potato and sweet potato syrup? Or red bean syrup?" Shen Xiaoyun followed the uncle with a smile, and he also felt the enthusiasm of this uncle.

The dishes that this family got today should be desserts, so I made some sugar water desserts for everyone to drink.

Well, it was the first craftsman he took tourists to visit, a family specializing in cloth shoes.

Since he brought tourists around, the business has improved a lot, and orders have been placed almost every day, because many sizes of shoes in stock before have been sold out, and some new tourists have to book in advance if they want them.

Selling cloth shoes brought a lot of income, and the family looked very happy, especially seeing Shen Xiaoyun coming in, and several elders also came out, holding Shen Xiaoyun's hand.

"Xiaoxiao is here, come quickly, I have a lot of delicious food at home, you can eat more." It was the grand master and grandma of this family, who held Shen Xiaoyun's hand and looked at Shen Xiaoyun again and again. , Look at it very carefully, I really like that look.

"Okay, okay." Shen Xiaoyun felt that he really couldn't refuse the kindness of these old people.

They are like this, when they like you, they will take out the best food, because in their eyes, these are the best things.

"Come on, I made a bowl for you, and put a lot of rock sugar in it. After a while, this canned orange syrup will only taste good when it cools down." The uncle was dragging Shen Xiaoyun into his home , went into the kitchen, brought a bowl of canned orange syrup, and there was a lot of canned oranges in that bowl, Shen Xiaoyun suddenly felt scared when she saw the amount.

This orange syrup is indeed a good thing, because this season, apart from those sold outside, it is rare to eat oranges.

And this family can keep the citrus from last autumn and winter, which shows that it really took a lot of effort.The oranges here are well preserved and can be stored for four to five months. The way to preserve them is to use mashed garlic to smear these oranges with garlic juice, which is extremely time-consuming and laborious. Cover with dry pine needles and store in a cool, dry place, as the citrus will rot if you don't pay attention.

When these citrus that have been stored for several months are taken out again, the outer skin is wrinkled and has no moisture, and the pulp is also a little shriveled. If you peel it and eat it alone, the taste is far worse than when you just picked it, and the juice is dried. The mouth is full of slag and whiskers.

And these not-so-tasty citrus are peeled off, the thin beard on the outside is picked off, a small opening is cut in the orange petal, and after washing, put it in the boiled sugar water and cook for a few minutes. It tastes surprisingly good.It's so sweet, you can still taste the sweetness when you just picked it, and you can smell the orange flavor, even the syrup has an orange flavor.

In Yunshui Village, it is rare to eat candies and sweets at will like outside, so small desserts such as canned sugar water will appear at the banquet, and they are very popular. One spoon after another divided up the energy.

It can be said that it is very luxurious to eat oranges in syrup in the season when fruits are extremely scarce in spring, much rarer than eating meat.It's no wonder that the uncle of the family said that he is usually reluctant to eat it, so he specially brought it back as sugar water for everyone to eat at the banquet today.

Shen Xiaoyun was also happy, this Tangshui Tangerine was the whole family's heart, and it was also a kind of recognition for him, a junior, that he was willing to present such a good thing.

"Uncle, I'll eat less first. I'll have a banquet soon. I haven't had a banquet at home for a long time. I'm so hungry. If I drink this big bowl, I won't be able to eat it at the banquet. I'll take out some of the oranges in syrup I just ate crispy meat at Uncle Li's house, and I drank chicken head rice at Granny Wang's house, I really can't finish this bowl." Shen Xiaoyun was really afraid of the enthusiasm of the elders.

Fortunately, this uncle didn't make things difficult for Shen Xiaoyun, and nodded with a smile: "It's fine, it's fine if you don't finish eating evenly, I'm afraid I won't like it."

Shen Xiaoyun didn't dare to say anything more, she followed her uncle to the kitchen of his house, and saw that there were still aunts and aunts in the kitchen who were busy boiling sugar water.

Different from other dishes, the cold dessert like sugar water is sweet and greasy, and it is cold. The kitchen where the sugar water is cooked is full of sweet smell, which makes people feel inexplicably happy.

After evening more than half of the canned orange syrup in the bowl, Shen Xiaoyun quickly took a sip. The syrup was cool, with a clear sweetness and a hint of sourness. The aroma of oranges was very charming, and the petals of the oranges were soft. Yes, the granules of the pulp are very full, and each piece of pulp is full of juice. After entering the mouth, there is a burst of refreshment, and the mood is lifted after eating.

Tangerines in syrup are so delicious.

The sugar water is also delicious, cold and sweet. The fruity aroma and sweetness are like spring breeze soothing the taste buds and senses, making it extra comfortable.

After drinking the oranges in syrup, Shen Xiaoyun looked into the pot, and found that what was steaming in the pot was a pot of green plums and a pot of snow-white white fungus. There were some red dates in the white fungus. These little things boiled with the sugar water. Rolling between the little bubbles that popped out of the sugar water.

"Plums are more difficult to cook. You have to wait until the skins of these plums are broken, otherwise your mouth will still be sour. The white fungus also needs to be boiled to produce glue. If you want to eat it, Xiaoxiao, you have to wait a little longer." Shen Xiaoyun leaned over to look, the uncle thought that Shen Xiaoyun wanted to try it, so he explained it aside.

Shen Xiaoyun waved her hands again and again.

"No, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just looking at it. Here, I'm holding this phone, and I'm broadcasting live to netizens outside. They can also see the canned sugar water here, so they can know that we have delicious food here. Those who are interested will come to play with us." Shen Xiaoyun tried her best to prove that she is not a glutton.

The uncle nodded, with a half-understanding look, he really didn't know what was live broadcasting or not.

In front of the stove, someone was cooking plum syrup, tremella and red date syrup, and in the empty space of the kitchen, two aunts were also busy peeling oranges.

These oranges were picked in autumn and winter last year and stored for a long time. Now they have become dry, with wrinkled skin and ugly shape.But the outer skin turned orange red, and the orange petals and orange peel inside had been separated, and the meridians on some orange petals were stuck together.The aunts quickly peeled off the ugly oranges, discarded the orange peels, left the orange petals, picked off the white meridian, and then opened a gap in the orange petals, so that when the oranges are boiled in sugar water Sometimes, the rock sugar water can better blend into the pulp of the orange, and it tastes sweeter.

Shen Xiaoyun watched for a while and prepared to go to the next one. If each one was delayed for too long, he hadn't finished watching the hot scene of each kitchen after the dinner, and he didn't broadcast the most attractive and appetite-stimulating scene to the netizens. Look, Shen Xiaoyun felt that it was a loss.

The finished product and the process of delicious food are two different concepts. Although the former is more impactful and can be eaten in a hurry, the latter makes people want to move around, making the onlookers want nothing more than they want. become the deepest memory in my mind.

Because you can see it, but you can't eat it.

Shen Xiaoyun thought evilly, and lifted his foot to leave. The uncle who was following him grabbed Shen Xiaoyun again, and hurriedly dragged Shen Xiaoyun to the backyard.

"Xiaoxiao, don't go, I still have a lot of delicious food at home. The front is boiled sugar water, and the back is some pastries, including rock sugar mung bean cake, red bean cake, sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, which are almost ripe, come here They’re all here, let’s have a taste, don’t leave yet.” The uncle’s tone was very serious, and Xiaoxiao showed it to the tourists outside, and she had to show more of his home’s good things, so that the tourists would know how good his home is in the future For food, maybe I came to his house to rent a house.

Shen Xiaoyun was full of surprises, and asked puzzledly: "What's more, uncle, is your family going to cook so much today? I think other people's families can only cook two or three dishes."

There are three of these syrups alone, and with the three desserts, there are six small cold dishes in total.

The uncle said with a smile: "Other families have less food because those dishes are time-consuming and labor-intensive. My family's cooking is easy, just cook it a little. That is, the glutinous rice and lotus root take a little longer to cook."

"The mung bean cake is ready, with a little mint powder in it, it tastes cool, Xiaoxiao, you must like it. I remember you young people like to eat this kind of taste." Uncle brought Shen Xiaoyun a few pieces of rock sugar mung bean cake, these mung bean cakes Use a mold to engrave. There are rectangles and small round cakes. The color is light yellow and looks very fresh.

These mung bean cakes are all freshly made. After the cleaned mung beans are steamed, they are peeled and mashed. Add appropriate amount of corn oil, rock sugar, and mint powder. Mold out the shape you want.
