farming in ancient times

Xiaoer saw that they were so unwilling to go digging cicadas with him, so he said, "Don't you realize that cicadas are screaming every day, and the screaming people have a headache?"

"Summer is here, of course cicadas are called." It's like it's going to rain, who can control them.

Xiao Er grinned, "Let's dig out all the cicadas that haven't been unearthed, and they will stop singing if they don't."

"You, are you done digging?" The general saw Xiao Er walking towards the kitchen excitedly, grabbed him helplessly, and then asked a soldier to get a small hoe and a wooden barrel.

When Yin Wei heard that the six hoes were turning away, he stopped crying and said, "General, are you really digging worms?"

"I said it all, it's a cicada, not a worm!" Xiao Er glared, "If you don't want to go, don't go, but don't even want to eat the food I cook in the future."

"Madam, I'll go!" Shi Lei stood in front of Xiao Er, and said with a silly smile, "Madam, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

"I'll make cicadas tomorrow morning, do you want to eat?" Xiao Er asked with a smile.

Shi Lei didn't have the guts to say no, so he asked, "What about noon tomorrow?"

Xiao Er thinks about it carefully, if he mixes some noodles at night, according to the current temperature is so high, the noodles should be made into old noodles at noon tomorrow, then he can steam steamed buns, "Steamed buns, have you eaten?"

Shi Lei shook his head as expected, and the deputy commander also shook his head, "Xiao Er, what are steamed buns?"

Xiao Er laughed, "It's delicious, much better than flatbread."

"What is it made of?" Yin Wei was very curious.

Xiao Er answered irrelevantly, "Military division, are you digging cicadas?"

Yin Wei believes that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and digging cicadas will lose powder, but if he doesn't go, then he can only watch the general's steamed buns... The military master simply gritted his teeth, "Go!" He still has to dig a lot more, He vomited about the general's wife so that he would never dare to mention the word cicada chrysalis again.

But all the military divisions turned their backs, and it was useless for Huang Qu and Zheng Nan to struggle.

A group of six people went into the woods, the deputy commander always felt that knowing that thing was too disgusting, he would rather get goosebumps all over his body than not allow Xiao Er to do it, so he asked Xiao Er to carry the wooden barrel and hold the torch to be used.

Seeing Xiao Er bowing his head, the general shouted, "Xiao Er, if you see something, call me if you know it. You must not dig by yourself. Do you hear me?"

Xiao Er was not angry, "If you know it, you won't eat me."

"If you are disobedient, let's go back now." The general made a gesture to turn around and leave.

"Okay, okay, I just don't touch it." Xiaoer muttered, "Then I'll eat it tomorrow."

"Ma'am, can we not mention eating?" Yin Wei threw the newly dug cicada into the barrel with his fingernails, pretending to cry, "If you talk about it again, I will throw up."

"You are all soldiers who have seen blood on your hands." Xiao Er looked at the five people suspiciously, then walked up to Shi Lei and asked, "Is the cicada scary?"

Shi Lei said, "Cicadas are not scary." After a pause, "It's scary to eat cicadas!"

"One by one, cowards!" Xiao Er felt that he had really looked up to these military masters before, and he didn't even dare to eat such small creatures as cicadas, it was too, too useless.

No matter what Xiao Er said, the five insisted on ignoring his words.Yin Wei pinched the cicada into the bucket again, and seeing that the bottom of the bucket could no longer be seen, he asked, "Ma'am, are you all right?"

"It would be great if you change your address." Xiao Er laughed.

What do you call it?Do you call him Xiao Er like the general?Yin Wei shook his head again and again. His wife agreed that he called the general like this, but he did not agree. The general agreed, and the soldiers under him would not agree either.

If those reckless men mistakenly thought that he was disrespectful to the daughter-in-law that the general had so hard to beg for, and he was wrapped in a sack and beaten by fat, who would save him.

Between being beaten in the face and digging the cicada, the military division decisively chose the latter.

Seeing him, Xiao Er honestly went to dig cicadas again, saying that he was not disappointed would be a lie.Seeing that the butcher loves him so much, Xiaoer laughed again. He must cook the cicadas well and feed them to the butcher.

And Xiaoer saw half a bucket of cicadas, picked it up and weighed it to about two or three catties, so he said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to sleep."

As soon as Xiaoer finished speaking, the military master threw the hoe in front of Shi Lei and ran away, Huang Qu followed closely behind.Shi Lei held four hoes, looked at the general and his wife, and finally put down the hoes carefully, turned and left.

Xiaoer said, "Butcher, are cicadas scary?"

"Not scary!" He was already numb.

Seeing his stern face, Xiao Er smiled and said, "You will know how delicious cicadas are tomorrow."

"Can we go take a bath now?" He is covered in mosquito bites, if he is left to grind in the woods, he will be bitten to death by mosquitoes if he is not killed by the cicadas.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Er said, "Okay!" He carried the cicada into the stove, filled the bucket with water, covered the bucket tightly with a wooden basin, and made a bowl of noodles before going back.

When Butcher Gao saw him, he just made some noodles, and asked strangely, "What are you doing?"

"Liu Minger will make steamed buns with mixed noodles for you." Afterwards, Xiaoer threw down his clothes and jumped into the bathtub, "Butcher, when will there be a war?"

"I just sent a letter to the generals guarding the east this morning, asking them to try their best to drive the Hu people here. When the Hu people take the initiative to send troops to provoke, I can find out how many troops the opponent has." Gao Butcher said Xiao Er wiped his hair and said, "Don't worry, the Quan Rong family is the grasshopper behind the ball, and it won't take long to jump around."

"Hey, butcher, you can eat grasshoppers too," Xiaoer said hurriedly.

General Gao Da spouted a mouthful of old blood, and asked incredulously, "Cockroach?"

Xiaoer laughed, and the deputy commander intuited that the veins on his forehead were twitching, and he heard him say, "As long as it doesn't grow up in the cesspit, you can eat it. First remove the wings, pull out the intestines when twisting the head, and eat it roasted. Do you want to eat?"

"Have you eaten?" the general asked with difficulty.

Xiao Er curled his mouth, "No, my father beat me, and my mother beat me."

The general gritted his teeth and said, "I want to beat you too!" As he said that, he slapped Xiao Er on the buttocks, then threw him on the bed, and went to take a bath by himself.

Xiao Er rolled his eyes at Butcher Gao's back, so he wouldn't say that he would never eat cockroaches in his life.However, it's also fun to turn the butcher's disgust into a face.

The next day, it was just dawn, and it was the first time since he fell in love with Xiao Er that he hugged Xiao Er and slept all night. mad!"

"I'll be angry with you." Xiaoer said.

The general was startled, "Why are you awake? Did I disturb you?"

"No, I'm used to it." Xiao Er rubbed his eyes, "I heard voices outside, what happened?"

"Soldiers are practicing martial arts." Seeing him remembering, "It's not hot now, you sleep a little longer, and I will call you when you eat."

Xiao Er shook his head, then got out of bed to look for clothes, "Firemen don't cook well, so let me teach them how to sleep late."

"That's fine." The general didn't want to eat the food made by the fire soldier after he was used to the food cooked by Xiaoer, "Put on new clothes."

"I can still wear this clothes." Xiaoer said.

"You kept those clothes for the soles of your shoes. Didn't you see that Yin Wei and Shi Lei accused me of being stingy yesterday? They didn't even want to buy you a new dress." As he spoke, he found Fang Zheng on the way to help Xiao Er. bought clothes.

When Xiaoer saw him take out his clothes, he thought, "I'll go to the kitchen and make some pancakes for Fangzheng, and save him to eat on the way."

"Not urgent."

"Of course I'm in a hurry." Xiaoer said, "Go early while the sun is not high, and when it gets hot at noon, Fangzheng just stops to rest."

General Gao said helplessly, "Okay, I'll help you light the fire."

"Don't you need to practice martial arts?" Xiaoer asked.

Hearing this, the general stepped forward and retracted his foot, turned around at the door and ignored Xiao Er.

Xiao Er hummed the tune of running to the sky, nodded and smiled at the little soldiers who greeted him.A few young generals were bold, and seeing that Xiao Er was young, they asked his wife what he cooked for the general last night from afar, and they could smell the aroma from the big kitchen.

Xiaoer said pork, and seeing that they didn't believe it, he said, after he taught the fire-headed soldiers, the soldiers and young generals will be able to eat it.As soon as this remark came out, all the soldiers who provoked said that the general's wife was a good person.

Xiao Er shook his head, what a good guy he is.If it wasn't for the butcher, he wouldn't be bothered to laugh at everyone.When he walked into the small kitchen, his mouth was sore from laughing.

Huotou Bing got Xiao Er's words yesterday, no, they were busy washing vegetables and cutting meat as soon as Xiao Er came.

Seeing that the old noodles had turned sour, Xiao Er stopped a few people, "We don't eat greasy food in the morning, come and learn how to make steamed buns with me."

"Ma'am, we can do it." Everyone in the Northwest eats steamed buns, so they don't need to learn.

"What I do is different from yours." Xiao Er smiled, "You can see it after you have a look."

Xiaoer first soaked the old noodles in water to rot, then added noodles, took half of the noodles out of a pot for Fangzheng to make cakes, and let the other half in the pot ferment naturally.

Northwesterners make pancakes. Now that the weather is hot, Xiao Er puts the pancakes on top of the grates and steams them so that the pancakes will not be too dry.

The three fire soldiers were all curious, "Can the cakes be steamed in water?"

Xiaoer asked, "What do you usually use grates for?"

"Steaming rice, steaming vegetables and steaming meat." One said more bluntly.

Xiaoer poured the cicadas from the bucket into the basin and said, "Grates can steam many things, I will teach you later."

"Ma'am, shall we wash it for you?" Except for one fireman, the other two firemen went to carry buckets and basins while talking.

Due to Butcher Gao's bad behavior last night, Xiao Er was not polite to the two of them, thinking that the salted fish and dried shrimps would not last long, so he found a big earthen pot and prepared to cook a pot of seafood porridge.

After the porridge was cooked, Xiao Er asked the Fire Head Bing to take a large bowl of porridge and all the pancakes in the pot to Fangzheng, and then asked him to send a message to Fangzheng to find the general after dinner.

Seeing his wife doing this, the fire leader asked, "What are you and the general eating?"

Xiao Er said, "Fangzheng is about to rush home, let him eat first and leave first, and I will do it later." Then he went to serve the basin, and when we met, he got some alkaline noodles and put them on the chopping board, and then kneaded the noodles into steamed buns.

The Huotoubing who brought Fangzheng's food back entered the kitchen and saw round noodles on the chopping board, "Madam is really skillful. But when will we be able to cook such big noodles?"

Xiaoer said, "After the pot is boiled, burn half a stick of incense on a low fire, that's enough."

"How long was that?" The three asked hurriedly.

"You know if you burn the fire." Xiaoer laughed.

Seeing this, the fire soldiers rushed to light the fire, and when they finished steaming the steamed buns, under the staring eyes of the boss of the three, Xiao Er gave them a big steamed bun with mixed noodles, and then let them drink a bowl of porridge before driving them out. .

Several people held the steamed buns exuding the fragrance of wheat and said in unison, "Madam, we will serve you the meal."

"No, you go to the big kitchen to help today." Then I gave the old noodles to a few people and asked them to send them to the big kitchen, "I will be called to you when I make new food tomorrow." Hurry up, let's go He likes to be a cicada monkey.

Xiao Er heard from others in his previous life that some people would be allergic to eating cicadas, so he didn’t dare to make cicadas in front of several people, for fear that they would follow suit and dig cicadas, and the butcher Gao would really beat him to death if something went wrong. .

The few people are very convinced of Xiaoer now, holding the old noodles as if they had received an imperial edict, and ran to the big kitchen respectfully.

Xiaoer then gave the two soldiers guarding the kitchen a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge, and sent them to eat nearby, then fished out the cicadas in the salt water.

Put the cicadas in a hot pan and dry-stir to remove the water. Xiaoer pours a lot of oil into the pan, and after frying the cicadas, add some crushed salt and pepper.After it was out of the pot, Xiao Er was very satisfied when he saw the pot full of cicadas.

Thinking of those few dishes last night that aroused the attention of the soldiers, he took another clay pot and covered the pot.At this time, the two soldiers had almost finished eating, so Xiao Er asked them to help bring the steamed buns and porridge to the general's tent.

When Butcher Gao saw Xiao Er finally appeared, he sighed and said, "Fangzheng has already arrived at Yanmen Pass."

Xiao Er rolled his eyes at him, "You can go to the big room to eat if you're hungry, and I didn't stop you." Seeing Xiao Bing go out, Xiao Er opened the pot.

As soon as he opened it, the general smelled a fragrance, "What smells so fragrant?"

Xiao Er took one, squeaked it, and said with a smile, "I know monkey, do you want to eat?" He put another one to Butcher Gao's mouth.

The general just wanted to say no, when he opened his mouth, Xiao Er's chopsticks went into his mouth.The deputy marshal instinctively wanted to vomit, but Xiao Er stepped forward and said, "You vomit!"

Telling him to vomit, he dared not vomit, but the general wanted to swallow the cicada in his mouth but couldn't swallow it, so he could only chew the cicada while secretly wiping his tears.

As soon as he ate it like this, the general was overwhelmed, "This is quite delicious..." Then he looked at Xiaoer, "Is this really the thing we made last night?"

"Of course." Xiao Er is not addicted to cicadas, he just wants to make up for the general with cicadas, and seeing that he no longer rejects him, he puts the basin in front of him, "I heard that cicadas are better than beef."

The general wanted to ask, who did you listen to, and suddenly thought of the mystery about Xiao Er, so he just shut up.Anyway, Xiao Er won't harm him.

Seeing that he was so obedient, Xiao Er was very satisfied, "You can eat this food yourself, but you can't give it to the military division and the others."

"What?"

"Because some people will get sick after eating it." Xiaoer said.

"Then...then you still dare to feed me!" General Gao yelled strangely.

Xiaoer said lightly, "It's also my first time eating."

The general became honest in an instant, and the general found out that Xiao Er ate first and then let himself eat, and was immediately moved, "Since this is a good thing, then you should eat more." As he spoke, he gave Xiao Er a few .

"No matter how good the food is, you can't eat too much. If you don't eat too much, you will get tired of eating." He said, and transferred more than half of the cicadas in the pot to another pot. "Save these for noon and night. I use oil Stir-fried thoroughly, it won’t go bad after a day.”

"Don't be so busy, you can sit down and eat too. This food is delicious too. It is fragrant and soft, and the mouth is full of noodle fragrance." As he spoke, the general pulled Xiao Er to his side and handed him a steamed bun, " Xiao Er, tell me what good things I did in my previous life, God let me meet you!"

"You saved the Milky Way in your previous life." Xiao Er didn't dare to say this, seeing that the butcher was all about herself, Xiao Er was satisfied.
