Rebirth: Farming Skillfully with a Mrs.

Suddenly, like a night of autumn wind, thousands of trees and sweet-scented osmanthus bloom.

Clusters of beige flower bones exude a strong fragrance, and the whole yard is enveloped by the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

The next morning, Nian Xiaomi got up early, smelling the rich fragrance, feeling refreshed.

Niuniu and Lingyun ran to the backyard hand in hand, where a row of sweet-scented osmanthus trees were also planted.

Ten minutes later, the two children returned to the front yard with a handful of sweet-scented osmanthus branches in their hands.

Pick off the blossoming sweet-scented osmanthus and put it in the books used in the school.

Sister Lanhua asked: "Niu, why did you put it in the notebook?"

Niu Niu showed her cute dimples, "In this way, you can smell it when you open the book, and you will be more energetic in class."

Sister Lanhua laughed, picked up a sprig and put it on her head, very coquettish.

The remaining osmanthus branches are inserted under the eaves, doors and windows, so that the whole house will be more fragrant.

This day's breakfast is also very rich, because we will start planting winter wheat today, we must ensure the intake of nutrients.

Nian's land has all been dug up, and the sun is just right today.

Several adults went into battle together, Yan Mo, Nian Xiaomi, Sister Lanhua, Xiaoyong, Gu Yunfeng and Yan Shubai.

Because of the autumn planting, children from every household have to go to the fields to help, so the school is temporarily closed.

The six people were divided into three groups, one sowed the seed and the other covered the soil.

The soil ridge has been dug long ago, and it is enough to scatter the wheat seeds on it, and the people behind will use a hoe to turn it over and cover the wheat seeds.

The work is very easy, the three workers sow the seeds in the front, and the gangsters dig the soil in the back. The whole family talks and laughs without feeling bored.

The children are not allowed to enter the wheat field, so as not to trample on the soil ridges, they can only squat on the ground and play with ants.

Rhubarb and the others also came running, running around as soon as they reached the open field.

The clumsy Xiong Er followed behind with the monkey king on his back.

Nian Xiaomi picked up the soil and threw it at Rhubarb. Rhubarb dodged cleverly and left a series of footprints on the field ridge.

"Yuhu! Take them back to the yard and watch the field be trampled into holes!" Nian Xiaomi shouted.

Fortunately, the dogs were obedient, and soon left with Yuhu and the others.

These days, Nian's family is busy sowing winter wheat. When the end is coming to an end, the weather is not good, and there is a patter of autumn rain.

Everyone had to wear bamboo hats and coir raincoats to continue sowing.

But Xiaoyong said that the rain was too timely, and the wheat seeds could not germinate until they were full of water.

However, Nian Xiaomi still secretly activated the "Heart of Nature" to germinate the wheat seedlings.

The old patriarch walked around the fields in the village smoking dry tobacco, and every household in Sunset Village was sowing seeds in the fields.

He nodded in satisfaction, and would point out any wheat ridges that were out of balance.

Walking to the field of Nian Xiaomi's house by the sea, the old patriarch shouted: "Mo baby, your crops are doing well! They are neat and straight!"

Yan Mo smiled and said, "Thanks to Xiaoyong and Yunfeng, they are good at farming."

The old patriarch nodded with satisfaction: "This is the livelihood of our countrymen! We must take care of it. Do it first, and I will go to the compound to have a look."

When he walked away, Sister Lanhua laughed and said, "What's there to see in the compound, why not visit Grandma Qi."

Nian Xiaomi glared at him, "Why do you talk about everything?"

But if you think about it carefully, the two of them do have that kind of meaning...

When all the wheat was planted, everyone called it a day, took the hoes to a nearby weir pond for cleaning, and then carried them home and put them in the miscellaneous room.

Several loads of water had been picked up from the kitchen long ago, and pots of bath water were being boiled.

These days, we are busy planting wheat, and everyone didn't wash well. Today, the family took a hot bath because of the early finishing work.

Of course, Yan Mo put forward the idea of ​​"saving water", so he washed it with Nian Xiaomi...

In the evening, when everyone wanted to eat gnocchi, Nian Xiaomi took the vegetable basket to the vegetable garden to pull some radishes and tomatoes, chopped a Chinese cabbage, washed it and diced it for later use.

"Aunt Liu, help me get some sauerkraut and wash it."

The pimple soup can be ready in 10 minutes, but Nian Xiaomi is not in a hurry, first change the clothes of the men.

Working in the field, the body is full of mud, especially when a few children are playing in the field, their clothes are also dirty.

Nian Xiaomi threw the clothes into the bamboo basket and complained: "The new clothes I just changed this morning will be all dirty. Are you born by sloppy ghosts?"

These guys actually refer to Yuhu and Erli, who are the naughtiest and have the dirtiest clothes.

Yuhu was used to being scolded, hehe giggled.

After everything was taken care of, Nian Xiaomi started to make gnocchi in tomato and sour soup, and the process was not too complicated.

First, add a little warm water to the flour and stir in the basin until the batter becomes lumpy, then pour it into boiling water and stir again.

After the gnocchi is cooked, stir a few crushed egg flowers, put tomatoes, cabbage, radish, then add some sauerkraut to taste, finally sprinkle garlic sprouts and coriander, and drop a few drops of sesame oil.

The soup is served in a celadon porcelain flower bowl, with white noodles, red soup, green leaves, yellow egg flowers, and green coriander, the bowl is full, and it looks very pleasing to the eye.

Xue Yourong's new house also started to be built, and her belly grew bigger day by day.

Because she met a scumbag, she was pregnant with a bun. Fortunately, Nian Xiaomi and Sister Lanhua took care of her, so she was not so lonely.

Xue Yourong's personality was also cheerful and open-minded, and he was soon infected by the atmosphere of the Nian's family, and he was no longer so sad. He even ate two big bowls of noodle soup today.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the blink of an eye, the leaves fall and the grass turns yellow, the weather starts to turn cold, and it is necessary to cover the quilt at night.

The autumn planting is over, and everyone finally no longer has to go to the field for high-intensity labor.

Except for occasionally going to the city to visit hot pot restaurants and fishing grounds, Nian Xiaomi basically didn't worry about it.

But Gu Yunfeng and Yan Mo have been obsessed with beating furniture these days, and they are drumming wood in the yard all day long.

Autumn rains are flying, and it is the rainy season again.

The bored Nian Xiaomi and Aunt Liu learned sewing, and when it rained, they went upstairs to Nian Xiaomi's room, sitting cross-legged on the kang, chatting and doing needlework.

Nian Xiaomi was a quick learner, and Aunt Liu only taught him once, and he understood it.

Picking up the soles, the needle and thread flew like flying, even Grandma Qi was stunned.

It's raining in autumn outside, and it will be frosty in a few days, and it will be colder by then.

Fortunately, the cotton-padded clothes, trousers and quilts of the family have been prepared early.

Although Xue Yourong gradually talked more, but sometimes he would still be absent-minded, holding the soles of his shoes, and when he was in a daze, the needle would stick in his fingers

Nian Xiaomi and Sister Lanhua saw all of this.

They looked at each other and sighed softly.

They all made up their minds to find that scumbag and avenge Sister You Rong!

In the kitchen at this time, beef was being stewed, and the pot was glowing red with a lot of peppers.

The weather is humid recently, eating more peppers to sweat is good for the body.

The heavy rain outside showed no sign of stopping, Yan Mo and Gu Yunfeng were beating furniture under the canopy built in the yard.

Xiaoyong still went to the school to work as a teaching assistant. He has recently become obsessed with the Four Books and Five Classics, and he thinks it is good to be a scholar.

After doing some needlework again, Sister Lanhua sniffed and smelled the aroma of beef. She couldn't help swallowing, and said pitifully:

"I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

Knowingly ask!

Nian Xiaomi laughed, he clearly smelled the smell of beef, which made him hungry.

Xue Yourong came back to his senses, and lazily said: "Ah, I can smell the fragrance too, my stomach is growling."

Seeing how the two were salivating, Nian Xiaomi smiled and said, "Come on, I'll serve some, and I'll make a small pot with some hot vegetables."

After speaking, he got up and got off the kang, and went downstairs to the kitchen.

"I'll help you." Sister Lanhua couldn't hold back her temper, and also ran down.

Granny Qi and Aunt Liu were already busy in the kitchen. Nian Xiaomi lifted the lid of the pot and filled half a pot of stewed beef.

Sister Lanhua's head was almost stuck into the pot, and her saliva was about to flow out.

Nian Xiaomi was really afraid that he would pollute the whole pot, so she hurriedly sent him to wash some soybean sprouts, kelp, tofu, vegetables and so on.

Afterwards, looking at Yan Mo in the courtyard, he was very puzzled!

Why did this foodie change sex today?Didn't come to the kitchen to steal?

Granny Qi seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Mo Wa just came to eat a bowl..."

Add some boiled beef bone soup to the beef that comes out.

Fearing that the taste would not be enough, Nian Xiaomi added another spoonful of chili oil.

Fragrant!

Sister Lanhua helped carry the small pot and charcoal stove upstairs, while Nian Xiaomi carried the dishes and vegetables.

Xue Yourong said with a smile, "As long as it has anything to do with eating, no one is quicker than him!"

Sister Lanhua giggled and stood by the charcoal stove, waiting for the soup in the pot to boil.

When the pot opened, Xue Yourong couldn't help asking: "How are you and the head of Liushu Village doing now? How far has it progressed..."

When Nian Xiaomi heard this, she winked and asked her to stop talking!

But it's too late...

Sister Lanhua was like a chatterbox, pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and said everything.

Including how big Li Dabai's guy is, how awesome the bed is, he almost couldn't get off the ground, etc...

Xue Yourong, who had seen strong winds and waves, blushed when he heard it.

"...Then...then you are just playing around?"

In fact, she was quite envious of Sister Lanhua, who didn't have to have children.

Only then did Sister Lanhua get serious and shook her head.

"If he only plays with me, I will castrate him!"

Soon, the pot began to gurgle and steam.

Sister Lanhua was impatient, and the tiger stepped forward to remove the cover, which was so hot that he almost threw the wooden cover away.

Nian Xiaomi took a rag to wrap the lid, and then opened it.

A strong umami flavor of beef, combined with the aroma of various spices, hits the nostrils.

Nian Xiaomi moved a small bench and sat down, and put the tender tofu and bean sprouts in the pot.

He invited Xue Yourong to come and eat too, but although Xue Yourong was hungry just now, she still didn't dare to eat when she smelled the meat, she was afraid that she would have morning sickness later.

Sister Lanhua smiled and said: "It's okay, don't eat meat, just eat some vegetables and tofu, these are delicious when boiled."

Xue Yourong finally resisted the temptation and sat down with them.

The spinach was boiled first, and Nian Xiaomi gave her some to taste.

Sister Lanhua couldn't help it, she picked up a lot of beef and put it in a bowl.

The hot pot, the "three sisters" sitting around, is also lively.

After eating for a while, I sweated all over, and the irritability of the rainy day was also swept away.

At this moment, someone from Deng Deng Deng went upstairs.

Shui Yunyan pushed the door open and entered.

Because of the heavy rain, there were no people in the grocery store, so he closed the store early and returned home.

Seeing him, Nian Xiaomi hurriedly greeted him to eat together.

Sister Lanhua suddenly put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "Haha, why don't we four worship Jinlan!"

As a result, the four of them formed four sisters according to their age.

The eldest sister Xue Yourong, the second sister Liu Tiedan, the third sister Nian Xiaomi, the fourth sister Shui Yunyan...

Nian Xiaomi had a good time, and compared Taoyuan's three-way friendship, asking everyone to kneel down and pray to the sky.

Yan Mo and Gu Yunfeng were exhausted from work, so they also ran upstairs.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the four of them were kneeling on the ground poking their buttocks...

"You... What are you doing?" Yan Mo was stunned.

Gu Yunfeng also stepped forward to help Shui Yunyan up, "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter? But it's Chinese New Year, why are you still kneeling down to ask for lucky money..."

Sister Lanhua stood up and pushed the two of them out desperately.

"Go, go, go! The matter between girls, man, go away!"

After praying to the sky, the hot pot is almost finished.

"It's so comfortable to eat!"

Sister Lanhua took off her shoes contentedly, and lay down on the kang.

Nian Xiaomi complained: "Why are you still a pig? Sleep when you are full, and eat when you are full?"

Xue Yourong was like a big sister, rushing to help Nian Xiaomi clean up the dishes, and Shui Yunyan even picked up the broom and swept the floor.

Only then did Sister Lanhua get out of bed, and put down the burnt charcoal stove.

Nian Xiaomi opened the window to let in some air, otherwise the smell in the room would be too strong.

The autumn rain fell for another two days, and the animals in the house did not dare to come out of their nests, lest they be washed away by the heavy rain.

One autumn rain and one cool, the temperature dropped sharply, estimated to be only [-] to [-] degrees.

In ancient times, there were no autumn clothes and long johns, so they could only wear obscene clothes, which were not warm but also ventilated.

Fortunately, Nian Xiaomi had the foresight to spend a long time ago making autumn clothes and johns for her family.

Soon, autumn clothes and long trousers became popular in this dynasty...

Nian Xiaomi stood in front of the window, looking at the low-lying areas in the courtyard that were almost turning into small ponds.

Yan Mo, Sister Lanhua and Gu Yunfeng were dredging the mud with shovels.

"It's good to have a strong man in the family! You don't have to do this kind of dirty work yourself, Quack."

Nian Xiaomi thought happily as she knocked on the melon seeds.

After a few more days, the autumn rain finally stopped.

Taking advantage of the clear weather, Yan Mo and Gu Yunfeng hurried up the mountain to cut trees, first to make furniture, and second to store firewood for the family in winter.

An hour later, Yan Mo ran back from the back mountain. Even though it was a bit cold, he was still sweating profusely.

"I came back to pull the donkey cart, and Yunfeng was waiting for me on the mountain. I found good wood today and cut a lot of it, but neither of us could drag it, so we happened to think of the donkey cart."

Nian Xiaomi asked, "Then do you want me to help?"

Yan Mo shook his head and said with a doting smile: "The mountain road is not easy to walk, and you won't be able to help if you go there. Besides, I'm not willing to do it!"

Aunt Liu came out and said:

"It's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain, not to mention that you have to pull the wood, or go to the fishing ground to call the orchids, and call a few more people to help, so as not to cause any problems."

Yan Mo waved his hand and pulled the donkey cart to the back of the mountain.

Nian Xiaomi smiled and said, "The two of them will run up the mountain if they have nothing to do. Nothing will happen. The worst thing is to slow down and come back later. Let's leave some food for them."

Grandma Qi also said: "These two boys are smart, the rain has stopped these days, the mountain road is not slippery, nothing will happen."

Only then did Nian Xiaomi feel relieved.

After the sun finally came out, he and Aunt Liu washed all the family's clothes again.

After that, take the washed clothes to the open space in the courtyard.

There are two long wooden laundry poles with many small holes dug on them.

There are drying racks hanging under each hole.

Nian Xiaomi likes to hang clothes on a drying rack instead of stacking them horizontally on poles.

There were no drying racks in ancient times, no need to ask, this must be Nian Xiaomi's idea again.

Iron nails can be bought in the city, and it is much more convenient to bind objects with them than wooden wedges.

The wooden drying rack handmade by Yan Mo is reinforced with iron nails.

Then the top is fixed with a wire bent into a hook, which can be hung on the clothes rail.

It's just that the iron nails are easy to rust, and the clothes rack needs to be cleaned before each use, but even so, Nian Xiaomi is still very satisfied.

The last time Shuiyunyan got married, many folks came. When they saw the drying rack, they found out that it was made by Yan Mo after asking.

So many folks made up their minds and wanted to make some clothes to dry.

Of course, Yan Mo was embarrassed to charge any money, and only charged a cost.

Nian Xiaomi hung up the clothes one by one, but suddenly thought in her heart:

Maybe this drying rack can still be sold in the city, maybe it can even spark a trend...

After the clothes were finished drying, he had nothing to do and ran to Gu Yunfeng's east chamber.

Grandma Qi is in the back room, and there are fresh cotton quilts spread out on the kang, and she plans to sew the quilt into the quilt cover, so that she can take it out and cover it when it's cold.

Nian Xiaomi smiled and said, "Grandma Qi, are you putting on the quilt? Let me help you!"

Grandma Qi straightened up, and hammered her sore waist, "That's just right, my old waist is useless, and I can't straighten up after bending, I'm really old."

Nian Xiaomi put the thimble on her finger, took over the pin, and skillfully pulled up the quilt.

Nian Xiaomi moved very quickly, and in a short while, a quilt was sewn up.

He put away the needle and thread, "I'm going to the kitchen to prepare, Yunfeng and the others will be back soon, cook some sweet potato porridge, some pancakes, stew some beef in the evening, it's all manual work, just drink the porridge and you won't be full. "

"Okay, I'll help after feeding the chickens and ducks." Granny Qi replied.

When he came to the kitchen, Nian Xiaomi looked through the rice bag and found that there was still a lot of glutinous rice, and if he didn't eat it, he would get worms.

After thinking for a while, I suddenly thought of a delicacy from my previous life - siu mai!

Looking at the sky, it's still a while before it gets dark, why not try to make some siu mai today.

Just do it.

Wash the glutinous rice and steam it in a large pot.

Taking advantage of this gap, roll out the dough again.

The skin of siu mai is more resilient than the skin of buns, so it takes some effort to knead the dough and keep kneading the dough thoroughly.

Soon, the fragrance of glutinous rice came from the pot, and it should be cooked.

Nian Xiaomi didn't lift the lid, but took out the meat and mushrooms.

The shiitake mushrooms are picked from the back mountain in spring, and hung in strings under the eaves to dry. Now is the time to eat them.

Chop the soaked shiitake mushrooms and meat, mix in spices and salt, then take out the cooked glutinous rice, mix the ingredients evenly, and finally add some sauce for coloring.

After feeding the animals, Aunt Liu and Granny Qi walked in together when they heard the sound of stomping vegetables in the kitchen, and said curiously:

"What is this doing?"

Seeing Nian Xiaomi's things on the table, besides the noodles, there are steaming sauce-colored glutinous rice.

This is not like steamed buns, why use glutinous rice as filling?

Nian Xiaomi was pretending to be stuffing, and said with a smile: "I'm making siu mai, you guys help me make it too, I'm too slow."

"Shaomai? What is this? I haven't heard of it before. Let's help."

The two washed their hands, put on their aprons, and walked over.

It was also the first time for them to learn about siu mai, and Nian Xiaomi taught them by hand.

Because it is similar to Baozi, the two of them quickly got started, and the folds they made were even more beautiful than Nian Xiaomi's.

The three of them made the bag together, and it was much faster. After a while, half of the bag was made, and Nian Xiaomi was ready to be steamed.

Aunt Liu asked inexplicably, "Isn't this glutinous rice cooked? Why do you need to steam it?"

Nian Xiaomi explained: "The glutinous rice is cooked, but the dough is still raw, and the meat and mushrooms inside are also raw."

"Glutinous rice with shiitake mushrooms and meat?" Grandma Qi heard this way of eating for the first time.

"The siu mai steamed in this way is very fragrant."

Aunt Liu shook her head and laughed, "It's really troublesome to burn wheat, and it needs to be steamed twice."

Nian Xiaomi doesn't find it troublesome, food is always presented perfectly with heart, not to mention it's the slack time of farming, and idleness is idleness.

When the fog rose again in the kitchen, Yan Mo and Gu Yunfeng finally came back with the donkey cart.

Yan Shubai, Xiaoyong and the boys also left school.

There is no child making a fuss in the yard, and the house is really much cleaner.

As soon as they got home, the bears, dogs, cats and monkeys also got up, and the whole yard boiled instantly.

"Don't be crazy, come and help me pick up wood!"

With a roar from Yan Mo, the children all rushed up.

Nian Xiaomi suddenly discovered that his affinity and cohesion were much stronger than hers...

Is it because I am sometimes too strict with my children?

The donkey pulled a cart full of timber, and the children all stepped forward to help sort them.

Some branches are kept for fire, and the thicker ones are used for making furniture.

Yan Mo suddenly remained motionless, sniffing his nose, like a dog that has found its prey.

"What's delicious? Nye Xiang? I've never smelled this smell before!"

Nian Xiaomi remembered this, and hurried to the kitchen to see if the siu mai was done.

Afterwards, he packed more than a dozen siu mai in small bamboo flats and took them to the yard.

Yan Mo took the bamboo flat, saw what was inside, and said puzzledly:

"Hey, what is this? Steamed buns are not like buns, and dumplings are not like dumplings..."

Not only has he never seen it, but just after returning from the fishing ground, Sister Lanhua, who claims to be well-informed, is also scratching her head.

Nian Xiaomi explained with a smile: "This is called siu mai. It is stuffed with glutinous rice and there is meat in it. You all have to try it. If it is delicious, I will often make it to satisfy everyone's hunger!"

Sister Lanhua looked at the very delicate siu mai and was full of praise, "How can you do it, girl? This little bun is made like a flower."

Nian Xiaomi corrected, "It's not called Baozi! It's called Shaomai!"

Sister Lanhua smiled and said, "I like this name, it's a show..."

At this moment, several boys and dogs ran over madly.

Yuhu stayed in the school for a long time, and when school was over, he was like a wild horse letting go of the rein, and the whole person went crazy.

Inadvertently, he was tripped by rhubarb and fell on the bamboo plaque. A basket of siu mai fell to the ground...

Nian Xiaomi was furious, but she still didn't have the heart to fight.

It was Xiaoyong who slapped him on the head.

Yuhu immediately showed an aggrieved expression, and then burst into tears.

Grandma Qi hugged him and patted his head.

"Oh, how can the baby fight?"

Yan Mo also said distressedly: "My Jade Tiger is a bit skinny, but he doesn't get tired of it, and he will never do what he shouldn't do."

Nian Xiaomi heard about it, and thought it was true.

Although their own children are a bit skinny, they will never do those petty tricks.

Thinking of this, he also bent down and hugged Yuhu.

Yuhu made sense now, fell into Nian Xiaomi's arms and wept loudly, pointing at Xiaoyong and saying:

"Stinky brother!"
