Lazy people also have spring

Chapter 57 Dumplings

Wang Meng entered the door, took the towel handed over by An Yi with one hand, took out the bowl protected in his sleeve and handed it to him with the other hand, and said helplessly and funny, "Here, it's for you, my share is still yours." Mother watched the finished meal."

In other words, if his mother is not satisfied, she will not let him leave the table.

An Yi, who knew his old mother very well, gave him a sympathetic look, and then took the bowl that was tightly protected by someone with some warmth, "Dumplings? No wonder I always feel like I forget Something, dumplings are a must for the New Year's Eve dinner." Saying that, An Yi didn't use chopsticks, and directly picked one up and put it in his mouth.

The dumpling was obviously just out of the pot, but after all, Wang Meng took it outside for a while. Although the temperature was still very hot, it was already a little far away from the hot mouth. After eating a dumpling, even An Yi felt warm "Well, the dumplings made by my mother are the best. It's just that the portion is too much, I can't finish it, do you want more?"

"No, hiccup~." Seeing the dumplings, Wang Meng burped reflexively, and then said, "No, I'm full, you can eat by yourself."

An Yi raised his eyebrows, with a smirk in his eyes, "Okay, then I'll have it all to myself."

That being said, An Yi didn't finish that bowl of dumplings in the end, there was still half of it left, which was enough for him to eat another meal.

The New Year's Eve dinner is on the night of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month.New Year's Eve is the night of the New Year's Eve.Although An Yi and Wang Meng were both very full after the dinner, they still had to eat the New Year's Eve dinner after the vigil was over and the New Year's Eve was smooth.

So, after discovering that they hadn't made dumplings, the two of them were not afraid to watch the night and had nothing to do. With a chopping board and a washbasin, they made dumplings.

Before opening the package, Wang Meng glanced at the basin and the vegetable stuffing, then looked at An Yi with embarrassment, "How much do you want to pack?" You can't give it to Yue's family after it's wrapped, right?Although he didn't care about these things, the Yue family obviously packed a lot, and what he got when sending them over must have been reprimand instead of thanks?

"You don't know that. The first day of the new year is very particular. You can't use a knife, you have to eat ready-made ones. I didn't prepare things for the New Year alone, and I forgot about it. Especially on the first day of the new year. Dumplings are a must in the morning. So, tonight, we not only have to get out the New Year’s Eve dinner, it’s better to get out all three meals tomorrow..."

An Yi didn't care what he said, Wang Meng frowned, "Isn't it... don't tell me you have to eat dumplings all day tomorrow? Besides, we have prepared a lot of food these days, can't we finish it?"

"What's the matter." An Yi didn't care, "Those things are going to be eaten until after the 15th Lantern Festival, so why can't I finish them? I'm afraid there won't be enough."

not enough……

Wang Meng was speechless, seeing An Yi who had started making dumplings happily, he could only speed up the speed of wrapping his hands silently...

The dumplings were made until midnight before the noodles and dumpling stuffing in the basin were exhausted.In order to prevent the temperature in the house from being too high and the wrapped dumplings left unattended, every time the round lids made of straw are neatly stacked to fill the entire lid, Wang Meng would cover them with a thin layer of clean steamer cloth. Take it out and put it in the yard.

At the current outside temperature, a splash of water can freeze into ice in a few minutes, which is the best for freezing food.Moreover, there is a row of long wooden shelves near the wall in Wang Meng's house. They are not high and only have three floors.

Not counting the dumplings that are currently going to be placed, a lot of fungus, white fungus, yuba, bean curd, sweet potato fries, etc. have been neatly stacked on the top, and even the meatballs, crispy meat, fried rice prepared in the first two days Meat cubes, rice cakes, and other special Chinese New Year foods are also on it, and when they are ready to eat, they are taken directly from above.

Looking at the shelves full of food that could barely fit, Wang Meng couldn't help but cry, "So much, let alone 25, even if it's [-], I can't finish it..." No wonder he had to share half of it just after it was ready. I asked myself to send it to my mother-in-law's house. With such a large amount, if only the two of them eat it, with their greedy and fresh personalities, they will be tired enough before they finish eating.

"Wang Meng! You put something in Anyang City! Come back soon!" An Yi in the room waited for a while but no one came in, and shouted out loudly.

"Hey! Here we come!" Wang Meng was delighted by him, and he covered the steamer cloth on each lid tightly, so as not to let the dirt in the air fall on the food inside, then rubbed his hands and lifted the curtain to enter the room went.

Because it was right by the door, he didn't wear a coat, and went out in only a thin cotton coat. Although he didn't stay outside the door for a long time, it really froze him, "It's so cold..."

"So you know it's cold too?" An Yi sneered, "I thought you had already become a fairy, and the cold and heat wouldn't invade you."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. I will definitely wear a coat next time, and I won't try to save trouble." Wang Meng smiled wryly, knowing that he would make people angry because he didn't listen to persuasion. Peel over.

"Okay, seeing that your attitude is quite sincere, and it's your first offense, I'll forgive you this time." An Yi raised his chin and signaled, "The dough is used up, hurry up and cut another piece of dough to roll out. Don't always try to be lazy!"

Wang Meng who was scolded for being lazy: "..."

"Tell me, do we want to buy a few acres of land next year?" Although it is possible to open up wasteland, the ones that succeed in the end are all farmer's old-fashioned methods. Wang Meng felt that he, a novice, would not be able to challenge that difficulty, so he should spend money honestly It is safer to buy.

"Buying land? My brother is looking for you, or is it my father?" An Yi didn't think this person could think of this by himself.Both of their family are not expected to farm. If they are really worried about life, no matter whether he goes out to teach or Wang Meng goes to hunt, it will be faster and easier than farming.

"No, it's my uncle." Wang Meng shook his head, "Although he knows my ability, he is always worried that I will be dangerous in hunting, and hunting also has integrity. After all, it is not as safe as farming. panic." Although he didn't understand the dependence of an old farmer like his uncle on the field, he knew his uncle's kindness.Moreover, he was not sure if An Yi, a child from a farm family, cared about the fields.

Compared with Wang Meng, who is half-knowledgeable, has always lived in a farm family, and his relatives are planing food in the fields, facing the loess and back to the sky all year round, he obviously understands how farmers care about the fields. I just messed around with him to buy land, and recently, I have been helping the young couple to keep an eye on the movements of the fields in Wangshan Village.

It's a pity that the farmland is the lifeline of the peasants, and it is not a last resort, so few people want to sell it.

In the past, because of family difficulties, a family had to sell their land for turnover. After the turnover was completed, even if they wanted to pay twice the price, they could not redeem their land.As a result, those who want to sell the land later have more concerns.

Not to mention peasants, even big landowners with a lot of land, they will only buy more land when they have money, and they will never sell the land outside.It can be said that in the Daqing Dynasty, there were some people who bought and sold fields, but they were indeed very rare.Most people tend to open up wasteland by themselves, or help people with a lot of land to plant, which saves money and trouble, and it can kill multiple things in one fell swoop.

"I agree to buy the land. When I have the opportunity to meet a suitable one in the future, I will buy it and let others plant it. Let's collect a rent, and it will be enough for our own food. You don't have to suffer that kind of pain, and you don't have to plant it yourself. There was no emotion on An Yi's face, as if he was talking about another trivial matter, "It's good to buy land, at least if you have land, in the eyes of your uncle and my parents, our future life will be guaranteed , won’t worry about us anymore.”

It seems that the purpose of buying land is to prevent parents from worrying.A deep smile filled Wang Meng's eyes.But thinking about the actual situation of the two of them, I found that it is really not suitable for farming, and it is indeed best to rent it to others if I buy it.

Chatting, doing this work, time passed quickly.When Wang Meng put on a thick cloak and took out the lid filled with dumplings, there was a burst of "cracking" firecrackers, and the New Year came.

The two of them worked together to tidy up the living room, and Wang Meng took the dumpling left in the living room to the kitchen - this was their New Year's Eve dinner tonight.And An Yi also dressed neatly, and brought the big meals prepared in the kitchen into the living room one after another.

Even though there were only two of them, the Wang family's New Year's Eve dinner was also very sumptuous, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, preserved fruits and everything, both meat and vegetables, and it was a good implication that ten dishes were perfect.Of course, in order to avoid the waste of eating too much, the portion of each dish is not much.

As soon as An Yi's meals were served, Wang Meng's dumplings came out of the pan.When Wang Meng came in with two bowls of dumplings, one big and one small, An Yi smiled and asked him if he wanted some firecrackers and fireworks.

Wang Meng, who had never had such an experience before, had bright eyes on the spot, "You bought it? Why didn't I know?"

"You are with me every day, you don't know if I buy it or not?" An Yi rolled his eyes at him.

"Then..." How do you let me let it go?Wang Meng felt very wronged, deeply felt that he had been teased.

"It's in my dowry. It's a gift from your brother when he first came to our family. He said it was for me to see the new patterns that have been released in recent years. It's for fun. I didn't have a chance to play it, so I forgot about it. Later, My mother looked quite expensive, so she thought it was something valuable, so she used it to add makeup to me..." It's funny to say, if it weren't for this, these consumables wouldn't be kept until now, for someone's younger brother to experience It's childish.
