Rebirth: Farming Skillfully with a Mrs.

It turned out that Nian Xiaomi wanted to make fermented glutinous rice.

Fermented glutinous rice is also called fermented glutinous rice, rice wine, a kind of brewing technology that existed in ancient times.

The finished rice wine tastes mellow and sweet, smooth and smooth.

Nian Xiaomi had already selected a hundred catties of glutinous rice, and asked Yan Mo to wash it carefully in a large wooden basin to remove impurities.

"My sister is here, hurry up and sit down!"

Hearing footsteps in the yard, Nian Xiaomi raised her eyes to see Sister Lanhua who was chasing geese.

"Yo, so it's to make rice wine!"

After closing the goose, he sat on the bench with a smile and began to help wash the rice.

"Yeah, this pot has been scrubbed and will be cooked soon!" Nian Xiaomi said with a smile.

When making rice wine, koji will produce a large number of wine bacteria during fermentation. If there are too many impurities, the wine bacteria will mutate and affect the taste and quality of the finished product.

After picking until there were no impurities, Yan Mo and Sister Lanhua carried the big wooden basin to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the large iron pan was scrubbed clean without a trace of oil.

It is very important that the utensils are clean, and there is no visible oil stain.

Nian Xiaomi put the glutinous rice in the pot on the drawer cloth, and left a small hole in the middle.

"Is this all right?" Sister Lanhua asked curiously.

"Yeah, if you start steaming after meeting SAIC, you've completed the first step."

As he said that, Nian Xiaomi skillfully filled the pot and stove and lit the fire.

Soon, steaming steam came out of the cauldron, and the aroma of rice could already be smelled in the nose.

"Second brother, is the meal ready?"

Niu Niu pulled Ling Yun into the courtyard and asked with a smile.

"It's out of the pot!"

Nian Xiaomi said with a smile, then lifted the lid of the pot and sniffed lightly.

Then he lifted the pot and greeted Sister Lanhua.

The two took out the steamed glutinous rice and put it in a large clean wooden basin.

The fat monkey also rushed in and stared at the big pot for a long time.

After the small eyes rolled around a few times, they suddenly stretched out their small claws and grabbed the steaming glutinous rice.

Before Nian Xiaomi could stop it, she saw it jumping up into the air "cracking".

The two little paws hugged each other and squeaked, grinning, winking, and changing expressions.

When Nian Xiaoli heard its cry, he hurried over.

As soon as the fat monkey saw him, he crawled into his arms and stretched out his small hands in front of him, looking pitiful.

Then he pointed to the steaming glutinous rice, like a crying child.

"Little fool, who told you to pilaf, is it hot?"

The blue-eyed Xiaoli said, blowing his little claws for the fat monkey.

The others laughed when they saw this scene.

Nian Xiaomi squinted at Nian Xiaoli.

The child seemed to have a natural talent for attracting animals.

All the animals in the house love him.

And he is very patient and loving towards the animals.

After he and Yuhu lived in the same house, the relationship between the two became close.

As for the child of the Tong family, Yuhu's follower, Gouzi, he hasn't come to play much recently.

After he knew that Yuhu had a new partner, he was always sad at home...

After 10 minutes, the glutinous rice in the big tub cooled down.

Nian Xiaomi took out a light yellow object from the kitchen, crushed it with a rolling pin, poured it into the rice and stirred it evenly.

"Second brother, what are you putting here?"

Lingyun, who has been interested in cooking since she was a child, asked curiously.

"Hehe, this is called distiller's koji, which is specially used to ferment glutinous rice."

Nian Xiaomi smiled, and continued to stir without stopping.

After stirring for a while, the glutinous rice was compacted, a hole was dug in the middle, sprinkled with cold boiled rice, and covered with a wooden lid.

At this time, the wooden basin filled with water was even heavier. Nian Xiaomi wanted to call Sister Lanhua for help, but Yan Mo ran out from the vegetable garden.

"Why is it so fragrant? It also smells like wine?"

"Are you an alcoholic? Exactly, help me carry it to the main room." Nian Xiaomi smiled.

Before he even bent over, Yan Mo walked to the wooden basin, exhaling and exerting force.

With a loud shout, he lifted the big basin by himself.

And he was showing off his handsomeness, winking at the stunned children.

The children reacted and clapped their hands.

The big tub is very heavy, weighing more than 200 catties!

Yan Mo bent over, lifted it off the ground, and slowly moved towards the main room.

Perhaps because of being too proud, the whole person staggered forward!

Fortunately, Sister Lanhua and Nian Xiaomi had quick eyes and hands, bent forward and grabbed the basin, otherwise, all the glutinous rice in this basin would be dirty...

"Why are you such a tiger!" Nian Xiaomi sighed.

Yan Mo scratched his head embarrassingly, "Small mistake, little mistake, hehe."

The children also booed unceremoniously and dispersed.

The best fermentation temperature for rice wine is more than 20 degrees. If it is too high, it will turn sour and become rice vinegar. If it is too low, it will lose the taste of wine.

The altitude of Beiyun Mountain is high, and the outdoor temperature at the end of August is over 30 degrees.

The temperature in the main room is just over 20 degrees, very cool and suitable for the fermentation of rice wine.

"Daughter-in-law, when can we have wine?" Yan Mo asked impatiently.

"Tomorrow evening, you can drink rice wine and eat wine and rice."

Nian Xiaomi erected a thick layer of straw around the tub, like a hen's nest.

"It's been a long time since I had wine or rice." Aunt Liu said happily.

Several dolls asked curiously: "What is wine and rice?"

"The leftover rice after brewing is steamed in a pot, and it is wine rice."

Aunt Liu explained with a smile.

The wine rice is very delicious and tastes sweet and alcoholic.

But you can't eat too much, because glutinous rice itself is not easy to digest, and it is even more difficult to digest after fermentation.

Nian Xiaomi looked at the clever and mischievous Yuhu and the cute and cute Xiaoli.

"Hehe, when these two babies grow up, they are really a good couple..."

At this time, it was almost noon.

It's too hot to cook at noon, Nian Xiaomi plans to make simple and delicious leek pancakes.

Aunt Liu and the others have already selected the leeks, and the emerald green leeks exude a strong fragrance.

Nian Xiaomi went to the kitchen stove and cut a piece of bacon.

Add bacon to the leek cake, the taste is even better!

Grandma Qi also kneaded the flour, and Yan Mo was ordered to dig two green lettuces from the vegetable garden.

Aunt Liu was cutting leeks on the cutting board, and Nian Xiaomi was cutting bacon.

Finally, mix the two well, sprinkle with chopped green onion and minced garlic, add salt and chili powder, and the filling is ready.

"Grandma Qi, let me cut the lettuce shreds, you have a rest."

Ling Yun said.

Regardless of her young age, after this period of practice, coupled with her talent and intelligence, she quickly mastered the proficient knife skills.

Put the shredded lettuce evenly in a small pot, add salt and vinegar, add pickled red peppers, stir well and set aside.

Niu Niu looked envious.

Nian Xiaomi nodded slightly.

If a big restaurant is opened in the future, this little girl is really a good helper!

After the noodles woke up, Nian Xiaomi rolled them vigorously with an extended rolling pin.

Rolling noodles is a physical job!

You must bow your legs back, bend your waist, and poke your buttocks, so that you can use your strength.

Yan Mo likes watching his daughter-in-law rolling out noodles the most.

Every time I look at his little buttocks from behind, my heart surges.

Sometimes, when no one is around, she goes forward and slaps her butt, which makes Nian Xiaomi scream...

However, today, in the corner under the stove, Yuhu is helping to pull the bellows.

Both Yan Mo and Nian Xiaomi forgot his existence...

Hearing and seeing, "the one who is close to the ink is black"!

When Yuhu becomes an adult, what he loves the most is to slap his son-in-law's butt...

And this son-in-law may be Nian Xiaoli, or Er Gouzi.

Of course, that's all for later...

Nian Xiaomi's hands and feet are very nimble, and a round and large dough with uniform thickness is quickly rolled out, and Aunt Liu takes over the rest of the work.

Aunt Liu evenly spread camellia oil on the dough, sprinkled with leek and bacon filling, minced garlic, chopped green onion and salt.

Then slowly roll it up from one side, roll it into a long column, cut it into uniform pieces with a knife, press it with the palm of your hand, and a leek dough is ready.

The iron pan had already been oiled, and Nian Xiaomi put the leek noodles into the kang.

After a while, the leek pancake with a crispy browned outer skin and a soft and juicy interior is ready!

Needless to say, the first one to be made must be divided up by Yan Mo and Yuhu.

Nian Xiaomi successively took dough dough from Aunt Liu and stuck it in the pot.

The wooden shovel kept turning, making a seductive sizzling sound.

The whole kitchen also smells of fragrant gravy mixed with leeks.

The golden leek cakes are taken out of the pan one by one and put in a dustpan to dry.

Soon, the dustpan was full.

Nian Xiaomi picked up the crumbs that fell from the pot and distributed them to several children.

Meow!

The family's greedy cat, Huami, also came to the kitchen, snoring and rubbing against Zai Nian Xiaomi's calf.

At this time, Xiaoyong, Liu Shu, Gu Yunfeng and Shui Yunyan also came back one after another.

During the slack season, Gu Yunfeng went to help at the grocery store, while Xiaoyong went to the fishing ground to help.

The three Dali brothers are very sensible, one helps put the fishing gear, one takes the basket, and the other scoops water for the adults to clean.

After they washed their hands, they went straight to the main room, where they set up tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks and waited for dinner.

The three brothers were also aroused by the smell of the leek cake. They came to the kitchen and stood in a row with Yuhu and the others, looking at the crispy yellow leek cake and drooling.

The leek cake is ready, and there is a lot of dregs left in the pot.

Nian Xiaomi filled a bowl and handed it to the children.

Wow!

The six little guys cheered and ate happily.

The slag is crispy and fragrant, even better than the leek pancake.

Xiaoli did not forget to take out some and put them on the ground to feed the tabby cat.

"Xiaoyong, why don't Shu Bai and Mantang come?" Nian Xiaomi asked.

Xiaoyong came over, "Mr. Yan's condition has worsened these days, and the two of them moved back from the ancestral hall."

When Nian Xiaomi heard this, she didn't speak, but sighed softly.

"Dinner is ready!" Grandma Qi's voice sounded.

The main room was filled with a large family, plus a few cats and dogs scurrying around.

Crispy yellow and charred leek pancakes, emerald green and tender shredded lettuce, and green vegetable soup with frangipani flowers.

Simple yet delicious.

The pancake is still hot, take a bite, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the gravy is overflowing.

Add a piece of crisp lettuce shreds with chopsticks, and drink a mouthful of refreshing vegetable soup. This is the delicacy of the farmers.

In the small mountain village in the afternoon, the air is filled with a faint fragrance.

And at this moment, Xiaobai from the Nian family is about to give birth to a cat.

Xiaobai is a female cat with all white and blue eyes, very beautiful.

As usual, Nian Xiaomi poured sweet pumpkin into the cat food bowl in the warehouse on the roof.

Two big cats are particularly fond of eating pumpkins, and their nest is also in the barn.

Nian Xiaomi invited Xiaobai to eat.

Xiaobai curled up in the nest, looking at him with light blue eyes, meowing a few times.

He took a closer look!

It was discovered that there were six little milk cats lying in Xiaobai's arms.

The little milk cat's eyes haven't been opened yet, and its meow is full of milk.

Xiaobai licked their fur tirelessly, and the wet kittens squeezed into his arms looking for milk.

Nian Xiaomi happily ran to the edge of the roof room and shouted to the people below:

"Come and see! Xiaobai gave birth to six kittens!"

Several dolls ran up quickly.

They surrounded Xiao Bai, very excited.

Looking at them, Nian Xiaomi couldn't help feeling:

You are the descendants of our family!From now on, my inheritance will also be inherited by you!

Six children, each with one property...

September is coming soon, and Yan Shubai's private school in the ancestral hall will also start school.

Nian Xiaomi sewed schoolbags for the six children early on, and prepared ink pens and paper.

This morning.

The children went out of the yard together to catch dragonflies and cicadas in the village.

And Nian Xiaomi also went downstairs, and Shui Yunyan came to the stream to wash vegetables.

There are white radishes and vegetables in the basket, and today he wants to stew bone soup, so he needs to prepare it earlier and stew it for a few more hours so that it tastes better.

"If only there was a pressure cooker..." He couldn't help sighing.

The big bones were marinated overnight last night, taken out this morning, washed with well water, and then put into the pot to cook slowly.

Fungus, wild mushrooms, and day lily are also soaked. Add ginger slices and green onions, and put them in a bone pot to stew together.

"Yunyan, when you come back at noon, cut some pork belly, let's make twice-cooked pork! By the way, buy another piece of pork liver."

Shui Yunyan and Gu Yunfeng planned to go to the grocery store, but they smiled and nodded.

Now there are more and more household items, and braised pork is only a small part of it.

But making braised pork every day is very cumbersome, coupled with the hot summer, so he decided to suspend this business.

The big bones were gurgling and stewing in the pot, and Aunt Liu was cutting the white radish.

When Yan Mo came back from the city to deliver spices, he could smell the aroma of wild mushroom stew from afar.

"Sir, go find some amaranth by the stream."

Stir-fried pork liver with red amaranth is good for the eyes and nourishes the body.

Yan Mo dug a large basket of amaranth and came back, and the work of the kitchen was also ready.

Then he went into the vegetable field again, and Nian Xiaomi chopped sweet potato vines and fed them to pigs and chickens.

After the bits and pieces of work are done, it is almost noon.

Shui Yunyan and the others also came back, bringing back pork belly and pork liver.

After washing the pork livers, Nian Xiaomi cut them into thin slices, soaked them in clean water to remove the blood, and marinated them with spices.

The bone soup is boiled to milky white, Nian Xiaomi pours the chopped white radish into it, and when the radish becomes soft, the bone soup is ready.

The smell of rice wafted from the kitchen at this moment, Nian Xiaomi fried the marinated pork liver, added amaranth, and the fragrant fried pork liver came alive.

Pork belly is the highlight of today!

Chop green onion, ginger and dried chili, which are necessary for stir-fried pork belly.

Heat the pot and pour in a few dollars of tea oil, pour the sliced ​​pork belly into it and stir until fragrant.

When the oil comes out of the meat rolls, add green, red pepper and chili sauce and fry until the color changes, then add ginger and spring onion, add salt and other seasonings.

Stir-fry for a while, and put it on the plate!

Be careful when eating!

Put a piece of pork belly and a piece of fried onion into your mouth together, and the freshness of the onion and meat will be released instantly.

Between the lips and teeth, the tenderness of pork belly is lingering, and the fresh fragrance of ginger and spring onion is vaguely touched, which is a perfect fusion.

If you feel a little tired, then stir-fry vegetables with chopsticks, which will bring out the best in each other.

Before dinner, Nian Xiaomi took a bowl of fried pork liver and twice-cooked pork, and a large bowl of bone soup, and asked Xiaoyong to deliver it to Yan's house.

"Mantang is growing up, his brother and sister-in-law are so picky, there must be no meat to eat."

He smiled and told Xiaoyong: "You also stay there to eat together, don't be snatched away by Cuilan and the others!"

Xiaoyong said: "Don't worry! They dare not!"

After lunch, Nian Xiaomi deliberately mixed a bowl of rice with pork liver and asked Xiao Li to give it to Xiao Bai.

The six little milk cats curled up into a ball, soundly asleep.

Their father, Hua Mi, is lazily basking in the sun, patting the ground with his tail.

Xiaobai gently jumped out of the cat's nest, meow meow meow, and started to eat pork liver bibimbap.

After the lunch break, several dolls ran out to catch cicadas again.

Because every year at the end of summer, people come to the village to buy cicada shells.

The dolls were all thinking of making some money for the family, and catching cicadas became their highlight.

So, the dolls opened their mouths, raised their heads, and searched among the leaves like lightning.

Dali and Yuhu carried a long bamboo pole, and when they saw the cicada shell, they immediately poked it off and put it into a jar.

When encountering a place where the bamboo pole could not reach, Erli quickly climbed up to the branch of the tree and stabbed it down with the bamboo pole.

As long as they pass by, there will be no cicada shells, the cicadas will fly away, and the leaves will fall off...

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and Zhizhi hissed and screamed at the top of his lungs.

The boys looked hard with their eyes wide open.

Niuniu, Lingyun and Xiaoli squatted under the shade of the trees, looking for cicada shells that fell on the ground.

After finding all the cicada shells near the Nian's courtyard, they started heading towards the village.

Passing Yan's house, Yan Mantang was walking out of the house with a basket on his back.

He smiled and asked Yuhu: "What are you doing? Why are you still carrying bamboo poles!"

"Looking for cicada shells, what are you doing here?" Yuhu asked while leaning on a bamboo pole.

"I'm going to cut some goose grass." Mantang replied.

"Why are you still cutting goose grass in such a hot day? Your sister-in-law asked you to go again, right?" Er Li also asked.

Mantang nodded, then smiled, picked up the basket and ran away.

"His sister-in-law is really bad!" Lingyun and Niuniu said together.

At this moment, Yan Shubai was cleaning the ancestral hall with Xiaoyong, preparing for the start of school.

If Yan Shubai was at home, he definitely wouldn't let his younger brother cut goose grass at noon!

Yuhu looked at his fading figure, a little dazed...

The adults took a nap and started to get busy again.

Shui Yunyan went to the grocery store, while Yan Mo and Gu Yunfeng carried water to irrigate the vegetable garden.

Nian Xiaomi and Sister Lanhua clean the enclosure.

Several dolls also came back, their clothes were all soaked in sweat.

They held the cold water jug ​​and poured it vigorously, and then sat under the vine, counting the cicada shells.

"Brother, it's so hot, let's go swimming in the reeds later, shall we?"

Yuhu came to the vegetable garden and got tired of Yan Mo's body.

The reason why he didn't look for Nian Xiaomi was because Nian Xiaomi was better than Yan Mo!

Let them stay at home at every turn, calm down, and prepare for the start of school to enter a private school...

Yan Mo smiled and nodded, "This autumn tiger has not passed yet, of course it is hot, we will go after we finish watering the vegetable fields."

Yuhu jumped up excitedly, and the lively and outgoing Erli also ran over and hugged Yuhu.

"Oh, can you stop hugging me! It's so hot!" Yuhu yelled.

He and Er Li are the most similar in character, and the relationship is naturally very good.

Erli ignored him and still hugged him tightly.

The introverted blue-eyed Xiaoli looked at them with a burst of envy, but an inexplicable sourness filled his heart...

At this time, Aunt Liu also came out of the vegetable garden, and sat under the shade of a tree with a basket of vegetables to take care of it with Grandma Qi.

Take off the long stalks of the purple eggplants, pinch off the two ends of the green beans, and peel off not only the shells of the broad beans, but also the outer skin of the bean kernels.

While peeling the beans, she said to her mother-in-law: "During the past two nights, the night owls on the mountain have been barking non-stop. Did you hear that?"

(Night owls are owls)

Grandma Qi laughed and said, "What's so strange about a bird singing?"

Aunt Liu said mysteriously:

"This night owl screams, it will kill you!"

Grandma Qi smiled and said, "You just like to worry about it." However, her heart suddenly tightened.

Aunt Liu's words were heard by Yuhu, who was standing under the grape arbor to feed the grapes.

Inexplicably, he thought of the lonely and desolate figure of Man Tang he met at noon, with the bamboo basket on his back...

He shook his head vigorously, driving away the messy thoughts.

Finally, Yan Mo and Yunfeng finished watering the ground.

The dolls rushed forward together, grabbed the hands of both of them, and headed towards the reed-strewn river.

By the river today, many villagers have come to swim and enjoy the cool air, and there is a lot of people talking.

As soon as Yuhu reached the edge of the reeds, he subconsciously looked for Yan Mantang.

In the past, Mantang often came to swim with them.

He will always be naked, splash water on him arrogantly, and then show off his skillful swimming posture.

Today's Yuhu, scanning his eyes, is sure that he has not missed any face in the river.

However, the house was not full!

He became inexplicably irritable.

Although he had fought with Mantang before, he became very good friends later.

He ran to the village, Nian Dali and the others wondered for a moment, what was he doing in such a hurry?

When he came to the Yan family compound, he banged on the door.

"Who? Knock what! Annoying!"

Cuilan opened the door and saw that it was him, her face was full of displeasure.

"Where is Mantang?" Yuhu asked out of breath.

"He went mowing goose grass!"

After Cuilan finished speaking, she glared at him, then closed the door heavily,

Dali and the others also ran over.

"Brother Yuhu, who are you looking for?" Erli asked.

"I'm looking for Mantang! We saw him mowing the grass at noon today, but it's already afternoon, so he should be home by now?" Yuhu was a little anxious.

Everyone was infected by his nervousness.

Dali said steadily, "Will it be in the ancestral hall?"

"Correct!"

Yuhu slapped his head and ran to the village ancestral hall, followed by everyone.

When they arrived at the ancestral hall, Yan Shubai came out with a smile.

"The school hasn't started yet, why are you rushing here?"

Yuhu hastily interrupted his words, and hurriedly asked:

"Brother Shu Bai, where is Mantang?"

"Mantang? Isn't he at home? He didn't come to my place." Yan Shubai was puzzled.

Yuhu was completely flustered, and he couldn't speak well.

It was still steady and vigorous, and explained the cause of the matter.

Yan Shubai was also shocked when he heard this!

It doesn't take hours to mow the grass...

He ran to the house without hesitation.

Xiaoyong took the dolls and looked for them at the foot of the mountain where the grass was mowed.

However, after searching in a large circle, there was still no one.

Nian Xiaomi, Yan Mo and the others were soon alarmed, ran to the river, and started looking for people along the river bank.

The worst situation now is that the whole house will drown in the water...

The adults in the reeds also carried the child ashore, and then began to help find someone along the river bank.

"Full house! Full house..."

Shouts echoed by the river...

The author has something to say

Thank you all babes! !
