Wearing back to ancient times is good for old age

Divided into several teams set off one after another.

This time, there were a lot of people going to the market in the village, and there were a lot of things to buy. Everyone made an appointment to gather at the gate of the city at Shen Shichu ([-]:[-] p.m.) to go back. something.

The author has something to say: this chapter is a little short, and will be updated in the afternoon or evening

21. First meeting...

As the winter solstice and Laba are approaching, despite the cold weather, the streets of Wuxian County are still extremely lively, and the enthusiasm of customers, stores, and hawkers is unprecedentedly high.

Feng Ye walked across the bustling street to the south of the city, he had a lot of things to buy, he was going to Chint Bank to withdraw money.The south side of the city is relatively less lively than the east side of the city, but there are also many customers in each store. Festivals are always the peak season for sales, and this has been the case throughout the ages.

There were not many customers in Chint Bank, Feng Ye quickly got the money, carefully hid it in his bosom, and went out.

At the door, Feng Ye, who was walking with his ears down and his head down, collided with a person.Feng Ye was knocked back two steps, and the long box in the hand of the person who collided with him fell to the ground, and a scroll contained in the box also fell out.

"I'm sorry", Feng Ye subconsciously apologized, and quickly packed up the scroll and put it in the box, "I'm really sorry, I didn't pay attention just now..." He handed over the box, and when he looked up, he met the other person's gaze, a ray of surprise Something flashed across Feng Ye's eyes.

It was a young and handsome young man, his face should be about twenty, he was wearing a blue brocade robe, a snow-white fur cape, blue high boots, long black hair with a silver crown The silk crown was tied up, and the whole person was handsome and noble, but his face was expressionless, and he looked at Feng Ye from the beginning for a moment.

Feng Ye originally looked at this person's appearance and thought he was handsome and extraordinary, so he had a good impression of him, but when he glanced at him with such a dull look, he felt uncomfortable and disgusted in his heart.

What kind of look is that in his eyes?As if everyone else was inferior to him!It's amazing to be rich!Feng Ye put away the smile on his face and thought angrily, and looked over with provocative eyes unconsciously.

The boy looked at him for a while, then raised the corner of his mouth, reached out to take the box, and said slowly and jokingly: "It's okay, I didn't pay attention either."

Feng Ye looked at this man like that, and hated him even more in his heart.Not only does this person look down on people with dog eyes, but he is also a face-changer.After apologizing again, Feng Ye turned around and left quickly, muttering in his heart.Who cares, he's just a passerby anyway.

Heading towards the east of the city against the cold wind, Feng Ye quickly forgot about the little things just now.

When he arrived at the stalls of the shops he often visited in Dongshi, Feng Ye bought enough seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and then went to the meat market to buy enough pork belly, pork chops, pork bones, chicken feet and chicken wings.The ribs here are quite cheap, only six renminbi a catty, and pork bones are even cheaper, only two renminbi, people don’t eat mutton very much, and there are very few people raising sheep, so it is difficult to find mutton in the meat market. Beef Even fewer people are reluctant to kill cattle to sell.So when I walked around the meat market, there were actually very few meats to choose from. There were only a few kinds of meat that came and went, nothing more than pork, chicken, duck, goose, hare and the like.People here don't eat animal offal very much, and you can hardly find it in the meat market. Feng Ye saw a lot of chicken offal at a chicken stall that sells fresh chicken, and they were all discarded by the stall owner.When Feng Ye bought chicken feet and chicken wings, he wanted to buy those chicken kidneys too, but the stall owner gave them all to him for free without saying a word, and even helped him cut open the flat and round chicken kidneys one by one, and cleaned the contents inside.Feng Ye was so grateful that he wanted to buy some more chickens from him.

After buying meat, the contents of the basket were so heavy that he could hardly stand up straight.I had no choice but to hire a porter for ten yuan to take the things to Li Ji's grocery store near the city gate first.

The owner of this grocery store, Uncle Li, is a member of the Li family in the village. He is considered to be Fengye's distant uncle. It has been more than ten years since he left Dieshan Village to open a grocery store in the county. He is warm and cheerful, and people from the village come to the city. People who go to the market like to come to him to rest their feet and put things away.

Feng Ye unloaded all the heavy things and left them in Uncle Li's shop, and then roasted and chatted in his shop for a while before going out for a walk again.

I went to the rice market and the pharmacy and bought some white rice, millet, glutinous rice, water chestnut rice, red beans, lily, almonds, peach kernels, etc. These are the ingredients that are missing for Laba porridge. Others such as red dates, pine nuts, and red soybeans are available at home. , Feng Ye had never tasted Laba porridge before, now that he encountered it, he had to try it by himself.

Seeing a child on the side of the road with candied haws in his mouth, Feng Ye remembered that there were not many snacks at home, and there was no tea for hospitality, so he went to the dried fruit shop, weighed two catties of melon seeds, one catty of melon pulp, maltose, peanut candy I also bought some candied fruit and candied fruit. There are too many idle times, and it’s really hard to grind your teeth and move your mouth without something.

The tea shops in Dongshi don’t sell very good tea, but in the countryside, you don’t have to use too good tea to entertain guests. People don’t care how good your tea is. Just bought a pack.

He bought everything that should be bought, and Feng Ye didn't want to go shopping anymore, his hands and feet were almost numb from the cold, and his face was numb from the wind, as if it didn't grow on him.He put his hands in his sleeves and walked quickly to Uncle Li's shop.

When passing by the entrance of a small inn, Feng Ye was blocked by a circle of people.What happened?

Feng Ye leaned over and took a curious look, it turned out that he was looking at people.Surrounded there was a haggard middle-aged uncle who seemed to be seriously ill from the discussions.He sat crookedly on the ground with his back leaning against the door of the inn, with an old burden hanging on his back, and a three or four-year-old doll in his arms.The woman who looked like a proprietress stood at the entrance of the inn and drove away the onlookers with a loud voice: "What are you looking at? Go away! Don't block my door here..." But the people outside were indifferent He moved a little and continued to watch.

Feng Ye asked an aunt next to her in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

The aunt sighed, "Poor thing! That master heard that he came to visit relatives from the capital, but he didn't expect that his relative had passed away long ago, and his relative's family refused to take them in. This master used to live in In this inn, I have no money to live in until now, and I got sick again. The proprietress said that he still owed money and couldn’t do anything to repay the debt. No, the father and son were kicked out..."

It turned out to be like this, it was quite pitiful.Has something happened at home?If you can't find your relatives, you won't leave.The child who followed was really pitiful.

Feng Ye touched the money in his bosom, hesitating whether to give some or not.After thinking about it, he shook his head, even if he gave it, he shouldn't be too ostentatious.

He turned around and got out of the crowd, came to a medical clinic in an alley diagonally opposite the inn, took out the money and gave instructions to the doctor inside.

After a while, the onlookers at the inn saw Dr. Ye from the Ye Family Medical Center coming with two assistants, "Everyone, let's make way, let's make way, don't delay people's medical treatment." He went forward to give the man on the ground a Feeling the pulse, "I have typhoid fever and a fever." As he spoke, he commanded two assistants to help the man up, took the child from his hand, and sent them to his own hospital.

Everyone saw that someone was coming out, and after a few discussions, they dispersed.Feng Ye stood outside the medical hall and watched the father and son being brought into the medical hall. After about half a stick of incense, Doctor Ye came out. Feng Ye went up to him and asked, "How is it? Can that man be cured?"

Doctor Ye said repeatedly: "It's cured, it's cured, it's just a cold and a fever, take the medicine for a few days and then raise it for a few days. That person's foundation is good, and he should recover much faster." Feng Ye took out the medicine again. A piece of two taels of silver, "Then I'll trouble the doctor. This is his medicine money and meal money."

Doctor Ye didn't answer, "It can't be that much, one tael of silver is enough."

"You'd better take it, the remaining one tael of silver will wait for the old man to heal, and you can pay him the travel expenses. Please take care of the child with good medicine." Feng Ye put the silver in Dr. Ye's hands.

"That's fine! The old man will do it for me, and I will take good care of the father and son." Doctor Ye was no longer polite, and took the money and went back to the medical clinic.Feng Ye glanced at the medical center, shrugged, and turned to leave.

It's rare to do a good deed, Feng Ye felt a little proud, and happily walked to Li Ji's grocery store.

In fact, he is not a benevolent person at all. In his previous life, he saw a beggar performer with great kindness and did not give a total of 50 yuan. The main reason is that many people in modern times use begging to cheat, and all kinds of methods make people uncomfortable. It is also numb to distinguish the truth from the false, so it is difficult to transform that sympathy into practical actions.When he saw the man just now, he also felt pitiful, but what touched him was the child. He was still so young. If something happened to the adults, the helpless child would not know what would happen. When he came over, he had nowhere to look around, so he decided to help him out of impulse.

It’s good to help others. After all, it’s only a matter of a few taels of silver, and it’s still within the scope of one’s ability. When people are suffering, they hope that someone will lend a helping hand. It is also necessary to help others.

22. Wonton...

A few days after returning from the market, Xiaozhi arrived.

The winter solstice here is almost the same as in modern times, and it is also called the winter solstice festival.The ancients believed that the winter solstice was the starting point of a year's solar terms. From the winter solstice, the days grow longer day by day, and the footsteps of spring will slowly approach people after the winter solstice. Beyond the Spring Festival, there is a saying that "the winter solstice is a big New Year".The day before the winter solstice is called "Xiaozhi", and the people in the village are busy making zongzi, making rice cakes, and frying fragrant wheat. .

In Fengye's previous life, his hometown also had the custom of making rice dumplings and eating rice noodle wontons on the Winter Solstice Festival, but now he is alone and doesn't plan to be so troublesome, so he wants to make a meal of wontons and eat hot pot.

Wontons are actually what the north calls wontons, but in the north, wontons are stuffed meat wrapped in dough and steamed to eat, not much different from dumplings.After it was introduced to the south, people improved it, made the dough thinner, and the fillings were more delicious and diverse. With a little filling, pinch the dough and eat it with soup, and it became a unique southern snack "wonton".

When Feng Ye was young, I was at my grandma’s house. Every time I went to the market with the adults, I liked to eat a bowl of wonton first. The old noodle restaurant in the alley was often full of people, and the later ones had to wait in line Seats, the meat filling in the wontons at that time was really small, less than half of the nail cover, but the wontons made by that family were not only beautiful, but the taste of the soup was unique, so many customers would like to to eat.Every time Feng Ye went, I saw the proprietress sitting at the table in the corner, pinching wontons, holding a chopstick in one hand and a stack of dough in the other, and a round dustpan on her lap. Pick out the stuffing, put a little on the dough, pinch it nimbly with your fingers, and the wonton will fall on the dustpan.Her movements are practiced so fast that she is as good as a magician. It is dazzling to see. Customers who come to the store like to watch her hands when they are waiting for the wontons to come up. People even gave her a name The nickname is "Butterfly Fly", which means that the wontons she squeezed out look like small butterflies, and the movements are like butterflies. I heard that some people come to her shop to watch "Butterfly Fly" flying butterflies. Eat wontons.

Now, Feng Ye hasn't eaten wonton for a long time, even today, he still wakes up very late, after eating breakfast, he kicked up the money and went out to Li Changsheng's house.I heard that he found traces of wild boars in the deep mountains of the Dieshan branch yesterday, so he came back and called several strong young men and experienced old hunters from the village to go into the mountains to hunt them down. Here comes the big hairy boar.Feng Ye wanted to buy some fresh pork from him to make wontons.

When they arrived at Li Changsheng's house, Feng Ye found that many villagers had come to their house. A few young men with hard hands and feet were removing the hair and opening the wild boar. Others were talking and watching, and Li Changsheng's father Li Shenglin was also there.Feng Ye followed and watched, and when he saw that the guy who handled the pig's internal organs was about to throw the things into the garbage bag aside, he quickly stopped: "Don't throw them away! That thing is still edible."

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Feng Ye, so Li Shenglin smiled and said: "The pig can be eaten when it enters the water, but now this is a wild boar, and the water is no cleaner than the pigs raised at home. It's not that there is no meat to eat, why bother with that dirty thing?" What!" The people next to him also nodded. "Usually, we country people buy pigs and put them in the water to cook when we have no meat to eat. People in the city don't touch this stuff, because they think it's dirty."

Li Changsheng also chimed in: "That's right. This wild boar eats raw wild food, so it's not clean. If you're short on pork, I'll cut a few catties for you soon."

Feng Ye knew that they had misunderstood, and quickly said: "No. I still have meat from the market last time at home. The fried pork liver and small intestine are still delicious." He smiled embarrassedly, " But I do want to buy two catties of fresh pork from you."

Li Changsheng waved his hand cheerfully: "Hey! What are you buying, I'll just cut it for you!"

"How can it be? You have worked so hard to call, and I will share the meat for nothing. If Brother Changsheng says that, I will leave."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard his teasing tone.

Li Shenglin patted Feng Ye's shoulder with a smile: "This young man has grown up too, and knows how to be polite to your cousin."

"How can you be polite. This is what it should be." Feng Ye insisted.

In the end, both parties took a step back, and Feng Ye bought two catties of lean meat at the price of five cents per catty, and also got a cleaned pork liver and a large piece of pig small intestine for free.

-

When he got home, Feng Ye first started the fire and stewed the broth of pork ribs and pork chops, cut up the pork liver and small intestines, salted them, and started making wontons.

Feng Ye washed the wild boar meat with hot water, sliced ​​it, and chopped it into a puree. He also kicked the bones and bones of the ravine fish in the bucket, chopped it into fish floss, and mixed it with the pork paste until his wrists were sore. just stopped.Feng Ye mixed a few egg yolks into the meat paste, added cinnamon powder, licorice powder, mushroom powder, pepper powder, salt, a small amount of rice wine and other seasonings, stirred evenly, and set aside for later use.

He took the flour that had been ground the day before yesterday, took some out and mixed it with a little lye and eggs, added water to knead the dough, rolled it into thin slices with a rolling pin, and cut them into squares as wide as the child's palm.

The dough and stuffing are ready, and it is quick to wrap the wontons. Feng Ye doesn't pursue good looks, so he just squeezes the stuffing to wrap it up.

After being busy for almost a whole morning, Feng Ye was also hungry. There was a large plate of wrapped wontons, enough for Feng Ye to eat for a whole day. It was noon, and Feng Ye put half of the wontons into boiling water to cook. When the wonton is cooked, the skin of the wonton is translucent, and the meat filling in the middle is light pink, and the whole is like a small flower. Put it in a bowl and put it in broth. Sprinkle coriander and chopped green onion in the soup and sprinkle with sesame oil. , the fragrance is floating in the air.Regardless of how hot the soup was, Feng Ye picked up the bowl and started to devour it.

The fresh wild boar meat is paired with ravine fish floss that has no fishy smell. The meat filling is delicious, sweet and crisp. The dough mixed with eggs and alkaline water is soft and refreshing. It is not to mention how exciting it is to eat one bite at a time, even with a bowl of thick soup. , The stomach is warm and comfortable.Feng Ye ate three bowls of soup and water before he was satisfied.

In the afternoon, Feng Ye took out half a bucket of wheat and stir-fried it on fire.

Stir-fried wheat is a must-have item unique to the winter solstice here, symbolizing people's blessings and prayers for a prosperous life.This stuff tastes like modern popcorn, but with more flavor and chewiness, perfect for killing time.

In the evening, Feng Ye was about to make dinner when Mrs. Gao came, holding a bunch of rice dumplings in her hand.

"Feng Ye, how about cooking? My aunt brought you zongzi. I know you definitely don't know how to make zongzi by yourself. Tomorrow's winter solstice, you can't be short of zongzi. You can't do without zongzi for offering to the gods and ancestors!"

Feng Ye didn't think so in his heart, it would be the same without the zongzi, but Aunt Gao's kindness cannot be refuted. After thanking Aunt Gao, Feng Ye took out some uncooked wontons and wrapped them in leaves, "Auntie, This is a snack I made myself, called Wonton, maybe you haven’t tried it, so take some back and try it.”

"Hi! You child, you are still being polite to the aunt!" Looking at the pinched flower-like wonton, I was surprised again, "This little thing is really unique, how can you make it?"

Feng Ye was embarrassed, "Yes... I saw someone else make it at the market, and I thought it looked good, so I tried it myself. You can put it in the soup for half a stick of incense and you can eat it. I tried it. Yes, it’s quite new.” It seems that in the future, I have to think of a reason in advance to make something new.

"Okay! Then I'll try your handicraft when I get back. I won't bother you to cook anymore." Mrs. Gao didn't ask any questions, and left with a smile.

Aunt Gao took two pairs of zongzi, and Feng Ye thought she would save them for worshiping gods and ancestors tomorrow.He fried part of the pork liver pickled in the morning, made a pork liver soup with coriander, wolfberry leaves and homemade salt and pepper, and fried the pig small intestines, and a delicious dinner was ready, which was considered too small.Tomorrow I have to get up early to worship the gods, so Feng Ye went to bed early that day.

The author has something to say: I'm really sorry, I've been so busy these two days that I don't have much time to code words, now I'll post a chapter first, and I will try my best to make up for everyone.Today, my essay actually made it to the list, which made me very happy.I will try my best to make daily updates in the future.

23. Winter Solstice...

Early in the morning on the day of the winter solstice, Feng Ye was awakened by the sound of firecrackers while he was still asleep. Here comes.Feng Ye turned over several times irritably, and lingered on the bed for a long time before getting up with a sigh and helplessness.

After eating something indiscriminately, Feng Ye began to prepare things for worshiping gods and ancestors.He boiled a large piece of braised pork and steamed a plate of wontons by the way.

It is the custom here to prepare meat, rice dumplings, fried fragrant wheat, rice cakes, fragrant tea, and shochu in the winter solstice to worship gods and ancestors. Feng Ye did not make rice cakes, so he replaced them with wontons. I hope this will not cause dissatisfaction.

The meat can be any of chicken, duck, goose, pig, sheep, and beef. Feng Ye made most of the pork he bought when he came back from the market last time. The skin and flesh of the layer are browned and crispy, and can be stored for a long time.In the previous life, Feng Ye’s grandfather liked to eat braised pork the most. He would cook it during the New Year and holidays. Braised pork with preserved vegetables, braised pork in braised sauce, braised pork in sour sauce... These dishes were often made by his grandfather. Feng Ye liked it very much. Going to grandma's house during the holidays, the happiest thing for Feng Ye is to have delicious braised pork.

The whole piece of fried meat can be kept for a month or two in such cold weather without spoiling. When you want to eat it, you can cut off a piece and fry the cut again.After the fried meat is boiled in boiling water, the meat will become soft, and the crispy pork skin will form small bumps after absorbing water. Feng Ye's favorite food is the skin of the meat. It is soft and refreshing, and it is very appetizing. .

Feng Ye put the boiled braised meat, steamed wontons, and fried fragrant wheat yesterday into a large basket, and used a rattan bag to pack a pot of wine, a pot of tea, a cup of incense candles, etc., and held them in both hands. These things went to the temple at the head of the village.

It was a bit late when Feng Ye went out, and almost all the families who went to the temple to worship the gods had already returned home. went.

The Tianshen Temple, the Guanyin Temple, and the Earth Temple are all to be visited, and some people who recognize the gods also go to worship the gods.

Speaking of the deity, it can be anything, for example, if there is a big rock in the village, if it looks bigger and strange, it may be recognized as its own deity, and the family members will go to worship it during the Chinese New Year.As for who recognizes what kind of God Lord, it depends on that person's birth date and fate. For example, the person who recognizes the stone as the God Master is because the fate is too thin and light. If you recognize the Stone God Lord, you will live a long and safe life with a firm fate.There are also people who recognize trees, water wells, swallow's nests, etc. as gods, gods, and gods. These are superstitious and ignorant practices, but the people here are very devout towards these.When Feng Ye heard it for the first time, he was amazed and funny, but in modern times, there are also many ethnic minority areas that have similar customs, and it can also be said to be a kind of spiritual belief of them.

The ceremony of worshiping the gods is nothing more than offering food, wine, tea, incense candles, saying a few auspicious words, burning paper money and setting off small firecrackers.Although Feng Ye was extremely disapproving of these, he still performed the ritual well. The crimes of disrespecting gods and Buddhas and blaspheming ancestors are not light, so don't be punished by the people here.

I sacrificed to the gods and went to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. It was already past noon when I was done.

Feng Ye will take the braised pork to be sacrificed to the gods, boil it in a pot, cut it into slices, chop up pickled lemons, sour plums, sour buckwheat heads, and a few heads of garlic and put them in the pork, then add soy sauce, mushroom powder, A little salt and chili powder, stir evenly and marinate for ten minutes, stirring constantly to let the meat taste.

Feng Ye cut up a small handful of plum vegetables again, and when the meat slices are fully marinated, use a large bowl to arrange the meat slices skin side down, put the plum vegetables on top, put them in a pot and steam them over high heat, and wait until the rice is cooked , The pickled pork with pickled vegetables is also steamed.

Before taking off the lid of the pot, a scent rushed straight to his nose, Feng Ye took a deep breath, and the secretion of saliva accelerated sharply.Take a plate, put the meat in it upside down, and sprinkle coriander powder on it, the appearance is already very attractive.He took a piece of it with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It was really fragrant and delicious! There was a faint aroma of homemade wine in the meaty aroma, which was moderately salty, sweet, and sour, and mixed with the unique taste of plum vegetables.It smells so good!

Feng Ye was already very hungry, but with this pickled meat, the meal was even more delicious.

After eating, Feng Ye saw that there were still a lot of meat that had been marinated and not steamed, so he simply cut some preserved vegetables, divided the meat into two bowls and put them all in the pot to steam. Put it upside down in another bowl, put a few sticks of blanched coriander on top of the meat, put the larger bowl in the basket, and Feng Ye went out to Village Chief Gao's house to deliver the meat to Aunt Gao and the others, and let They taste their craft.The villagers here also make their own braised pork. They don't care if it's called braised pork or roasted pork, but their cooking methods may be different from Feng Ye's, so it's good to give it to Mrs. Gao and the others to taste.

In the previous life, Feng Ye lived alone in the city for a long time, and he was unfamiliar with the greetings and sendings between relatives and friends in the neighborhood. If Mrs. Gao hadn't brought him rice dumplings yesterday, he would have forgotten the good neighbors in the countryside. Festival or any other big event, they will send their own things to each other. This is not only a kind of friendly and harmonious ancient social interaction, but also a sincere sharing of expressing one's care for others and the joy of life.Just like Mrs. Gao, every time she has something delicious, she never forgets Feng Ye. She treats Feng Ye as if she were her own son. Feng Ye is very grateful and regards her as his relative here, even though he has It's money, but I can't use the money to tell Aunt Gao that I want to thank you, etc. It would be too utilitarian and impolite to do so. Feng Ye is not willing, and Aunt Gao will definitely not accept it. Just get along like relatives , Take care of each other and care about each other, so life will be much warmer and happier.

The pork was sent to Mrs. Gao's family, and Feng Ye sent the other to Carpenter Zhang's house.These two families are considered to be the closest to Feng Ye in Dieshan Village, and their temperaments are more favorable to Feng Ye.

-

After the winter solstice, the weather gradually warmed up. The bright sunshine for several days dispelled the cold and haze of winter, and people went out to bask in the sun one after another.It was rare that the weather was so good, Feng Ye moved all the quilts to the yard to dry, and then went to the field to inspect all the crops.

Winter wheat and buckwheat are growing well. After more than a month of cold weather, the malt has picked up a lot.The potatoes are also growing very gratifyingly, and the seedlings are strong, but it is a variety of vegetable fields, because there are many vacancies because there is no food to grow under the moonlight.The snow pea seedlings on the edge of the vegetable field have already covered the bamboo trellises, and many snow peas hanging on the seedlings are ready to be picked.Some Chinese cabbage, broccoli and mustard greens have also begun to be wrapped into balls, and a lot of lettuce, spring vegetables and spinach have been pulled out.Feng Ye leveled the vacant area in the field, transplanted some seedlings, and re-spread rapeseed in the seedling field. After more than a month, it can be pulled out and put into the hot pot again.Feng Ye's favorite kale has been picked several times, and new ones are still growing on the roots of the leaves; the coriander, celery, onion and garlic next to it are also growing well.Feng Ye weeded the vegetable field and loosened the soil again.

Due to the cold weather, the wild peppers transplanted by Feng Ye in autumn did not grow well, and some even lost all their leaves, but luckily they were still alive.It seems that it is better to plant again next spring, or a little more.The sansho pepper that Feng Ye picked from the mountains was almost used up, except for a small can of chopped peppers reserved for cooking, the rest was only enough to make chicken feet with pickled peppers once.

After tidying up the vegetable field, Feng Ye went to clean the chicken coop. When clearing the straw in the chicken coop, Feng Ye saw three white and round things hidden inside—oh my god, they were eggs, the chickens he raised Finally laid eggs!Feng Ye was so happy that he worked a lot harder when cleaning the stinky chicken coop. When he walked out of the old yard, Feng Ye secretly praised the little hens again.And the hens that Feng Ye had put in the yard to bask in the sun were surrounding the roosters and eating worms on the ground, completely ignoring the dancing Feng Ye.

The author has something to say: In the past two days, because my aunt came to our house, the family specially made braised pork, so I wrote it down by the way. I originally wanted to post a picture of the braised pork so that everyone can smell the aroma, but I accidentally The technology is obviously not enough, forget it

24. Shopping...

A few days later, the weather was still fine. One day, Feng Ye went to the mountain to pick up chestnuts and came back. He wanted to go for a stroll in the county town. The New Year was approaching, and he had to buy all the things that needed to be bought, lest the weather would be cold I don't want to go out when I need it, and I don't have it when I need it urgently.

After lunch, Feng Ye went to Aunt Gao's, Li Changsheng's and Carpenter Zhang's homes one after another, asking if they needed anything to bring, and he bought them back along the way.

Mrs. Gao's family and Zhang Carpenter's family are very familiar with Feng Ye, and I always go to these two families when visiting.From childhood to that day, Feng Ye has become much closer to his cousin Li Shenglin and his cousin Li Changsheng's family, especially Li Changsheng's family.Li Changsheng is only four years older than Feng Ye. He has been married for a year. He separated and lived on his own. The house was built by himself. Feng Ye actually admires him a little. It was a recent contact, Feng Ye felt that he was friendly and enthusiastic, he was very loyal to others, and he had the vitality and drive of a young man. Now Feng Ye is also very happy to associate with Li Changsheng.It's always nice to mingle with more people.

Feng Ye's character is not very proactive. When interacting with people, he always has to wait for others to show friendliness before he can let go of his guard and interact with them. It takes a long time to get along to become close friends. In a word, Feng Ye is the kind of person who is super slow, nervous and a bit rough. In his previous life, his father often said that he lacked heart.

Li Changsheng is undoubtedly the type of friend that Feng Ye prefers to hang out with. Most of the boys around him who have a good relationship with him have the same temperament as him. Feng Ye went to his house that day and saw that they get along like brothers. There was a faint envy in my heart, and my favorability index for Li Changsheng continued to rise.

This may be due to Feng Ye's longing for and dependence on his peers, just like Feng Ye's group of friends who often called friends in his previous life. Even though he didn't want to live such a noisy life, he was very happy to be able to As one of them, when he doesn't want to play around, he can watch others making noise and play together happily. If he wants to, he can also drink, drink and go clubbing with everyone. He is very happy in his heart.

When Feng Ye first arrived in this mountain village, he was always very wary of the people and things here, and he always felt that he was just a passer-by, and one day he would return to modern times, and he was always unconscious when getting along with others. The surface shows indifference and alienation.Now, several months have passed, and the idea of ​​going back has been deeply hidden in his heart. In other words, he has begun to despair about being able to go back. At the beginning, the struggling and anxious mood gradually calmed down. Only then did everything related to him gradually enter his attention and into his heart.But now, he has subconsciously accepted that he is Li Tong, a person from Dieshan Village in this time and space, and he is slowly trying to integrate into the life here and accept the people here.Although he still has a lot of awkwardness, he is at least trying to change now.This is a crucial turning point for Feng Ye.

Besides, Feng Ye, carrying his necessary equipment - a pannier, strolled towards Wuxian County facing the warm sun.The weather is fine today, and the wind is not strong. The people in the village don’t want to go to the market except for a few people who go to the early market. Mrs. Gao said that everyone went to the mountain to take advantage of the good weather. They don’t want to buy anything. Run to the county seat.Alas, there is no way, let's go to the market alone.He was humming a little song, his steps were brisk, and he didn't feel cold anymore.

After entering the city, Feng Ye turned to Uncle Li's house first, and Mrs. Zhang asked him to buy a jar of balm for face, which is the face cream of this era. Uncle Li's shop has it, and the price is relatively cheap.

This balm looks a bit like the Vaseline skin cream produced by modern Pechoin. It smells very strong and has a good moisturizing effect, but it is a bit greasy. I bought a can in Feng Ye in winter and didn't apply it a few times. The main reason is that I can't stand the strong fragrance, so I only apply it when my skin is very dry and cracked.This stuff is a bit expensive, a can of ordinary types costs fifteen yuan, and high-quality ones are said to cost dozens or even hundreds of yuan.

Feng Ye bought sister-in-law Zhang the peach blossom fragrance she specified, and Uncle Li took him to warm up in the shop.Feng Ye untied the basket and put it aside, and took out a small can of olive horn from it, "Uncle Li, I'll give you a taste of this. It's a side dish I made myself."

"What side dishes? What do you guys know how to cook?" Uncle Li took it and teased with a smile.

"It's nothing, just black olives from the mountains in our village." Feng Ye also giggled.

Uncle Li took out a little bit and put it in his mouth, smacked it a few times, frowned, and chewed another small piece, his brows relaxed after a while, and he praised with a smile: "You are doing a good job with this side dish, it's delicious! It’s good for dinner and porridge. Black olives... Well, no one in our village used to eat them. After you process them, they are just a good side dish. If there are more black olive trees, they can be specially made and put in It's sold in the shop!"

Feng Ye stared at Uncle Li, and was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really? Then... Uncle, do you think there will be a market if you make it?... I mean, will anyone buy it?"

"Hey! Why is no one buying it?! Can't this kind of pickled side dishes last for a long time? When it comes to the season when the vegetables are in short supply and the price of vegetables is rising, isn't it what every family is looking for to save money? Even in normal times, there will be many people Buy it, let me see this...Your name is Lanjiao, it tastes very appetizing, and if the price is right, small families and even rural people are willing to buy it."

Feng Ye was elated when he heard it, and he thought about building an orchard next year, which would generate income while farming, and grafting fruit trees was not difficult. In his previous life, Feng Ye's uncle's main business was to run an orchard, and he had a good grafting technique. He was also invited to give a technical speech.did not eat
