Buddhist supplier daily [farming]

Just before the Spring Festival, Pei Yu went to the market to buy chickens, ducklings and rabbits, a cardboard box of bright yellow chickens, ducks, and snow-white bunnies, they all looked cute, and Pei Yu looked at them as fluffy and soft. The chubby rabbit felt soft-hearted for a while, but thinking that they would all be served on the dining table in the future, Pei Yu didn't dare to have the compassion to keep them as pets.

On the way back, Pei Yu saw a stall selling lambs. He paused. Originally, in his plan, he didn’t plan to raise cattle and sheep in the short term, but if he raised cattle and sheep, his family would be able to Drink goat's milk and cow's milk—Pei Kun is growing up now, and drinking more milk is good for his physical development.And Ms. Song may need a lot of milk to open a store in the future.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so Pei Yu went up to ask the vendor. A lamb is much more expensive than a dozen chicken cubs. A small lamb ranges from 400-800 yuan, and the calf is not brought to the market for sale. , the price is higher than lamb.Pei Yu had never bought a lamb before, so he only went up to inquire about the price. At the same time, Xingyun presented the illustrations and information of high-quality lamb in his brain.

The vendor saw that he was a high school boy with no parents around him, so he felt that the chance of making a deal was low, so he was not very enthusiastic.

Pei Yu understood the information, and now it is not convenient to buy lambs to bring into the farm, so he said: "Thank you, I will come with my parents to take a look next time." But when he turned his head, Pei Yu called Cheng Zexian to go to He went to the countryside to buy cattle and sheep—he contacted Wang Jianjun, claiming that his relatives wanted to buy cattle and sheep, so he asked him to ask.

Wang Jianjun doesn’t have one in his family, but there are many families in rural villages who raise cattle and sheep. Wang Jianjun asked for him. Now there are four families in the village who have calves, but most of them are beef cattle. They have been raised for more than half a year. big.Fortunately, there was a family willing to sell small cows to Pei Yu. Pei Yu spent five thousand and eight and bought two young cows with their family—the most common black and white small cows, with watery black eyes and very cute.

There were no lambs, either sold or still in the womb of the ewe.Moreover, Pei Yu spent a lot of money this time, so he didn't plan to buy any more lamb for the time being, because he still had to save the money to open a shop for Ms. Song.

Cheng Zexian, who came with him, specially rented a small tricycle in order to cover him.

They didn't plan to take the calf back to the town, and Pei Yu put the calf into the farm when there was no one in the middle of the journey—anyway, as long as Xing Yun was around, he wouldn't be exposed.

The purchase of the cows was decided by Pei Yu on a whim. The two of them did not build an additional cowshed, but because the chicken coop was big enough, Pei Yu simply installed a fence in the middle to divide it into two sides, one for raising two cows, and the other for chickens and ducks. As for the three pairs of little rabbits, he temporarily kept them in the haystack wooden trough in the cabin.

He bought [-] hens and [-] roosters, and only [-] ducklings. They are still small and can be trapped with one hand, but when they grow up, the nest will definitely be full of chickens and ducks, but When they grow up, they can get out of the chicken coop and run around. These ducks like water, and when the time comes, they can be rushed to the big pond to let them play in the water.

The two little cows seemed very satisfied with the new environment, and softly "mooed" a few times. Pei Yu feared that they would be hungry, so he went to harvest a bundle of green wheat grass, and chopped up corn stalks and fed them together.

After returning home and setting up all the newly bought animals, Pei Yu and Cheng Zexian grabbed two old hens from the farm, slaughtered the chickens neatly, and squatted in the backyard to pluck the feathers.Because chicken feathers are difficult to pull out, Pei Yu boiled a whole pot of hot water in advance, poured the boiling hot water over the two chickens, soaked them in the hot water and squeezed them out, and rubbed off a large amount of chicken feathers. After all the feathers and fluff were pulled out, there were still various tiny hair roots on the sebum of the chicken. The two of them could only lower their heads and carefully pull out one by one. It took more than an hour after the treatment was completed.

Although these chickens have not been raised on the farm for a long time, compared with the feed chickens that are quickly raised in a month on the market, the chickens in the hands of the two have more chicken and less fat, because the chickens are free-range and run around, so meat The texture is elastic and slippery.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Ms. Song finally had a holiday. She was not idle when she returned home. As soon as the holiday was over, she began to prepare the food needed for the Chinese New Year. She went to the market to buy several catties of pork belly, weighed ten catties of flour, sticky rice noodles and two catties of Glutinous rice flour, brown sugar and rock sugar pieces, etc.

When she got home, the two of them had just finished handling the chicken. Ms. Song was stunned for a moment, and then said distressedly: "...you two, go wash your hands and keep the room warm, and I'll make the rest. "Plucking chicken feathers in the yard when the cold wind is biting, this kind of work is not something that the two of them are capable of doing.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just chatted with Ayu and it was done right away, Aunt Song." But everything that came out of Cheng Zexian's mouth was very reliable.

"Yeah, Mom, you came back with so many things, take a break, and I'll come over to help you when Chengzi and I finish." Pei Yu put down the two chickens that had been cleaned, and pulled Cheng Zexian back to the yard.

Song Yingli couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, she cleaned the pork belly she bought, cut into pieces to remove the fishy smell, added various peppercorns, star anise, cooking wine, flour, eggs, etc., stirred them fully in a large basin, and marinated them.The eggs were brought from Pei Yu's farm. There were twenty or thirty eggs in a basket, which was enough to prepare all kinds of fried food for the Chinese New Year.

"Chengzi, I want to go to the farm again later to have a look, do you want to come together?" Pei Yu said to him while sweeping the floor.

"Well, let's go together." Cheng Zexian carried a bucket of water, and began to rinse the floor after he finished sweeping, "Do you want to buy some more feed?" Otherwise, the vegetables on the farm would not be enough for chickens, so we should prepare more bran .

"I'll go out and buy it later."

Pei Kun went out to visit the flower market with his classmates. Ms. Song knew about the farm, so the two greeted her and went in.The two discussed the division of labor, because only Pei Yu can use the tablet to perform [one-key harvesting] operations. He is responsible for picking difficult harvests such as fishing, picking papaya, planing taro, and wheat straw and sweet potatoes that need to be harvested in batches, while Cheng Zexian directly pulls White radish, picking vegetables.

It was night on the farm at this time, and the little robot, which was full of light energy during the day, could still move. Xingyun reminded Pei Yu that he could mobilize the light energy of the robot to illuminate the two of them.So Pei Yu set up the program, and the two of them were always accompanied by the little robot with a glowing chest. The bright yellow light illuminated everything around them, which was much better than before with the moonlight.

Cheng Zexian pulled out seven or eight white radishes, which were to be taken out to make radish cake for Aunt Song.After he put the white radish in the basket, he began to carry the wheat straw that Pei Yu had just harvested into the basket, carried it to the pond and poured it into the basket to feed hundreds of fish.Now not only have to feed the fish, but also have a pond full of shrimp and crabs. They grow very fast, and they can eat whatever there is in the pond. There are not many duckweeds left in the pond, let alone invisible to the naked eye. bio.

At night, there are many river crabs resting on the river bank near the shallow pond. In order to prevent them from crawling away, Pei Yu bought a silk net to surround the pond in a thin circle.After feeding the shrimps and crabs, Cheng Zexian carefully left the wet pond.

Pei Yu, who was catching big fish not far away, suddenly heard Xingyun's unique beeping siren, and then Xingyun said: "I found an unfiled species approaching, do you choose to expel it?" Pei Yu's heart trembled, and he hadn't recovered yet. When I came, I saw that the page on the tablet quickly switched to night view, and the "unfiled species" that Xingyun said was highlighted in red. Pei Yu looked at the long and thick hemp rope that was swimming quickly on the black hole. The same thing—isn't it a snake? !

"Expulsion." Pei Yu said hastily, he didn't know when snakes got into his farm.

While he was thinking nervously, Nebula had already locked on to the wandering snake and launched an expulsion offensive. Its expulsion was very tough, and it fired energy bombs directly at the snake. The next moment, the flexible and fast snake moved It turned into a pile of scorched black matter.

"...Chengzi, Zexian!" Pei Yu shouted.

"I'm here, I'm here." Cheng Zexian just came over from the pond, he only saw a ray of light rushing towards the ground in front of the pond, and he smelled the smell of burnt meat when he got closer.

He realized what should have happened, and walked quickly to Pei Yu's side: "What's the matter?"

"There's a snake! Just now, Xingyun detected foreign body activity, and a snake got in our farm at some point..." After Pei Yu finished speaking in one breath, Cheng Zexian patted him on the back, and his nervous heart hung a little bit earlier. relax.

"It's okay, there's no rush." ​​Cheng Zexian comforted him, "The snake may have been mixed in when buying shrimps and crabs at that time. The conditions in the small farm are good, and maybe it can be hatched from an egg..." Cheng Zexian said to himself Then, paused.

The two looked at each other. If so, there might be more than one snake on the farm.

Pei Yu hurriedly said to Xingyun: "Xingyun, can you detect other snakes in the farm?"

Xingyun immediately searched the entire farm and reflected the situation on the tablet in Pei Yu's hand. The two looked down at the tablet and were shocked. In this pool where fish ponds and shrimps and crabs were mixed, there were mud holes There are five or six snakes in the nest!

Pei Yu's breathing was stagnant, and his scalp felt numb for a while. He and Cheng Zexian would feed the fish by the pond every day. People... Pei Yu couldn't think about it anymore.

"Can Xingyun arrest them all?" Cheng Zexian put his hand on his shoulder.

"I'll try." Pei Yu immediately said to Xingyun, "Can you mark all the snakes and expel them?"

Nebula replied: "Yes, please give an order." It guided Pei Yu to choose operations on the page, no matter whether it was a snake hidden deep in the water or curled up in a hole, all of them were captured in an instant, and then they were captured by Nebula's energy. Scorched bullets - the current Nebula will not be bothered about energy for a long time, because Pei Yu can replenish its energy tubes to the full every time he does business.

The two looked at the scorched black snake in front of them, and they were silent for a long time. The cleaning program set in the little robot was somehow triggered. up.

"Don't worry, Ayu, there are no more snakes in the farm." Cheng Zexian reassured him, "Xingyun has been archived, and if any snakes appear in the future, they can be expelled directly."

"Yeah." Pei Yu also came back to his senses, he didn't know if he should be thankful, the water environment in the farm is so good, all the snakes are lazily resting, or wait for them to run around and bite unexpectedly Man, that's the scariest thing.

This little episode made Pei Yu more cautious. When buying fish fry from outside in the future, he must check in advance whether there are other things mixed in.

"Don't think too much, let's go out, otherwise Aunt Song will worry later."

"it is good!"

The two came out with baskets of ingredients each. Ms. Song had just divided the batter for steaming brown sugar rice cakes into large and small discs. Seeing the two of them coming out with big baskets, she came over to help them.

"Mom, these radishes can be used to make carrot cake."

"Hey, good. The taro is so big, it can be shredded and croquetted." Song Yingli helped them put away their things, washed the yellow papaya brought by Pei Yu, and cut it open with a fruit knife. Song Yingli scraped off the sac and black seeds with a knife, and cut into slices for the two to eat.

"You two have worked hard all morning, let's eat some fruit first, and I'll make lunch right now. Zexian, come and have dinner with grandma at noon."

"Thank you, Aunt Song. Grandma should have already steamed the rice at noon today. We'll come over to bother you next time."

Song Yingli could only nod her head.

The papaya was big and yellow. Pei Yu took a bite. The taste of the papaya was different from the crispness of melon and the sand of watermelon. It was soft, tender and sweet. Pei Yu quickly finished a whole piece.Cheng Zexian also ate to his satisfaction.

Originally, it is not suitable to eat these raw and cold fruits in winter, but the vegetables and fruits brought out from the farm are always nourishing to the human body, and the two of them are not worried about diarrhea after eating them.

In the evening, Pei Kun, who had been out playing with his friends all day, came back. As soon as he came back, he was just in time for dinner. Ms. Song made a chicken with shiitake mushrooms, and the remaining half of the chicken was frozen in the refrigerator. , because the chickens on the farm are too big.The other one was brought home by Cheng Zexian. They fried the chicken directly with ginger and scallions.

Pei Yu tried a piece of chicken with great anticipation. It was soft, pliable and chewy.Song Yingli has lived for so many years, and it seems that this is the first time she has eaten such delicious chicken.The chicken legs are big, tender and delicious, and the two brothers ate to their heart's content.

They ate dinner early that day, because after dinner Song Yingli had to fry all kinds of traditional Chinese New Year food and steam rice cakes.At this time, both Pei Yu and Pei Kun will help in the kitchen.Ms. Song also cleaned out the earthen stove in the backyard that had not been used for a long time, and directly used firewood to heat the fire, and steamed rice cakes in a large pot with water.

There are many kinds of food prepared for the New Year. Song Yingli is actually in a hurry for the past three days. Her plan tonight is to steam rice cakes, fried crispy meat and fried taro balls first. Tomorrow, she will continue to steam carrot cake and fried sesame seeds. heap and so on.

Pei Yu thoughtfully made hot tea for Ms. Song in advance, because people would easily get angry if they inhaled too much steam from frying—it's a pity that the various herbs that clear away heat and reduce fire in the farm haven't fully grown yet , or you can catch up with the New Year, you can cook some herbal tea and drink it after eating too much fried food.

The two brothers helped Ms. Song to help her. Pei Yu and Pei Kun were salivated by the strong frying aroma. When the first batch came out of the pan, neither of them cared about the hot hands and mouths. I secretly twisted a piece and ate it.

Hot and fragrant, the outer skin is crispy when bitten off, and it will soften when it cools down. The meat wrapped in it is salty and delicious. It is used for porridge and rice, so it is a bit salty to eat directly.Both of them took a sip of water after stealing food.

During this period, water was added to the pot on the stove outside twice. After Ms. Song had almost finished frying everything, the rice cakes were ready to come out of the pot—the newly steamed rice cakes were brown sugar-colored, crystal clear, and looked soft .If you take a bite at this time, you must stick to your teeth.It is best to let it cool down and wait until you wake up the next day, and then cut a piece with a knife to eat. At that time, it is just right. The rice cake is still soft, but it is no longer sticky to the teeth. It is very delicious and suitable for all ages.

The rice cake can be kept in a cool and ventilated place for a long time, and it will become hard after seven or eight days. At this time, it needs to be stored in the refrigerator. When you want to eat it, take it out and heat it up, or slice it and wrap it in egg liquid and fry it in hot oil. Fried, that's sweet and delicious.
