Exile Transformation [Farming]

Shen Yu didn't brag, he really went to Shen Laojiao's house to buy a piece of tofu. Their tofu made one board in the morning and one board in the afternoon, and then sold it in other villages.

Shen Yu thought there was none, but it turned out that day was a coincidence.The youngest Shen wanted to eat tofu, so she saved a piece for dinner. When she heard that Shen Yu wanted to buy tofu, the youngest Shen's wife sold it. One piece of tofu was worth five cents and two catties, what a waste to eat!

"Boy Yu, next time you want to eat tofu, come to Auntie's house!"

Shen Yu nodded, "Okay."

As for whether the youngest Shen will quarrel with his wife when he comes back from selling tofu, Shen Yu is not sure.

Cold tofu is a simple job. It doesn’t require any skills at all. Just add some salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and finally sprinkle some shallots. If possible, you can also get some preserved eggs.However, Shen Yu had no conditions, so in the end he only got some chopped green onions.

Just like that, Old Man Shen still ate very satisfactorily.

When it comes to roasted chicken with chestnuts, this dish is really easy to cook. Shen Yu only told Mrs. Shen Liu the recipe of roasted chicken with chestnuts, and she knew the general method.At the end of the cooking, I also put some fungus. The fungus was picked by a few little girls on the mountain. It was soaked in water in advance, and it was put down when it was about to burn. Maybe it was the light system that was dipped in the soup. The fungus tasted delicious. Good.

When it was out of the pot, the whole house was filled with the smell of chicken stewed with chestnuts. The children in the family were looking at the two bowls of stewed chicken with chestnuts on the stove without blinking, swallowing their saliva.

Not only are children drooling, but adults are not any better?The appearance of this dish is too high, the color is golden and translucent, the juice is thick and mellow, and when the chestnuts are embellished, one or two fungus can be seen from time to time. Even if Shen Liu hasn't tasted it, he knows that the taste of this dish is unmistakable.

"Auntie, can you give me a taste?" Shen Lixia swallowed greedily.

Shen Liushi looked at these children who looked like little sparrows, and his heart softened a bit, "Okay, I will give each of you a chestnut, and it will be gone after eating."

"Auntie, you are so kind."

Shen Liushi smiled, kid!She picked up the chestnuts one by one to cool down, and then divided them one by one.

Shen Songshi took the meal and went in. When she came back, she just saw this scene and shook her head slightly, "Sister-in-law, you are too used to them."

Shen Liu didn't care, "What can a few children eat?"

Shen Lixia couldn't wait to put the chestnuts into her mouth, and was immediately overwhelmed by the sweet, soft and slightly salty taste. She looked at the old lady who was standing beside her, but still didn't dare to speak.Forget it, wait until it's on the table and you'll be able to eat it.

Mrs. Shen looked at the golden and translucent roasted chicken with chestnuts, which was delicious at first glance, but she had no appetite at all. Her poor chicken!The loud and fast-running rooster just went to the dining table.

He said he had no appetite, but he was really unequivocal when he moved his chopsticks. Anyway, he has been fed for such a long time, hasn't he?

Mmm, the chicken is tender and delicious!

Well, the chestnuts are soft, fragrant and glutinous, delicious!

For tonight's dinner, Mrs. Shen gave a [-]-point praise.It would have been even better if her chicken hadn't been killed, she thought she could give it fifteen points.

Old man Shen rubbed a glance at the old woman secretly, and spent half of his life together, what kind of virtue could old man Shen not know?

Satisfied, he soaked the last bit of soup in the bowl with rice, well, this chicken is well done, next time I will ask Lao Wu to get some chestnuts, and the two chickens will not be kept.

All in all, the Roasted Chicken with Chestnuts has won unanimous praise from the twenty members of the Shen family.

Another day later, Old Man Shen called his other two sons, "Second and third, put on your basket, and we'll go and cut back the regrowth."

Calculating the time, it is already October [-]th, and the regenerated rice in the field should have been harvested long ago. It has been delayed until now, and it is estimated that many of them have fallen into the field.

"Okay, Dad, I'll get the sickle."

"Old man, do you want me to go too?" Mrs. Shen asked.

Old man Shen refused, "No, it's not much. The second and third children and I will come in the afternoon, and the eldest will also come in the afternoon. It will be almost tomorrow at the latest. You and a few daughters-in-law clean up the yard, and it will be easy to dry when we come back."

"Oh."

After going out for about an hour, Shen Laosan came back with a backpack on his back, "Mother, Dad said this is the little piece given by the fifth child. It is so yellow, and Dad asked him to put it away alone, saying that it will be next year." In exchange for a few uncles, they will be the seeds."

Mrs. Shen touched a handful of rice, "It's quite plump."

"That's right, Dad said that if you don't accept it, it will definitely sprout in the afternoon."

"Okay, you put it there, I'll separate it, and see if the effect will be good next year?" Mrs. Shen pointed and said with a smile.

Shen Laosan poured the rice on the open ground, and then went to Niujiao Mountain non-stop with a basket on his back.

Mrs. Shen spread out the rice and dried it. This kind of regenerated rice does not grow long, only [-] to [-] centimeters. When harvesting, it is collected together with the rice straw.Wait until the sun is about the same, then use the flail to thresh, and then dry it before storing it.

Raisoning rice is not as good as regular rice. No matter how well it is cared for, it only costs two or three buckets per mu, but it is still an extra harvest. After all, ratooning rice does not need to pay taxes.The geographical location of Shen Village is also peculiar, two crops of rice are not enough, one crop is too barren, and there are still two crops of rice left in the field, so the field can only be panicked, or one crop of winter wheat can be planted.

This is the case for the Shen family. In the middle of September, they planted another eight acres of winter wheat, and plan to plant another twenty acres next year. They don't need to grow beans to sell them, and they can grow more wheat.

This time, after five days of busy work, more than 20 buckets of rice were harvested, which weighed more than 200 catties, which is not bad.

Shen Yu is like a useless person, he is not used for drying, he does not have the ability to make flails, he is not used for cooking, and Li Xia even helps to watch the birds, so he is not used at all.

Old man Shen collected the rice into the barn, and was free again. Recently, he continued to ponder over his basswood shiitake mushrooms, but he had been planting the mushrooms for five months, so he didn’t mean to grow mushrooms at all, but Worry about him!

"Fifth, come here."

Shen Yu put down the cloth bag in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Old man Shen looked at the cloth bag curiously, "What's in it?"

"chestnut."

Old man Shen's eyes lit up, "You want to kill a chicken?"

Shen Yu was speechless for a second, then said, "Father, mother is behind you."

Old man Shen's face became slightly tense, and he turned his head uncomfortably, and saw the old woman's old face as dark as Yama.

"Old lady, this..."

"Well, you old man, it turned out that you were the one trying to kill my chicken. I knew that my youngest son was so obedient and filial. How could he want to kill my chicken? You were the one who instigated it behind my back. What do you think? Getting old is so unreliable..."

Mrs. Shen spoke so urgently and quickly that Mrs. Shen couldn't insert his mouth at all, his face was frozen, and his face was covered with saliva sprayed by Mrs. Shen.

Shen Yu looked at old man Shen sympathetically, and silently mourned for him for three seconds.

Finally, seeing that what Old Lady Shen had said was almost done, she took a breath, "Mother, come and calm down, I'll peel chestnuts for you to eat."

Shen Yu didn't feel the slightest blush when he said this, it was obviously stripped by Mu Jing, and he took it back to sell favors.

When Mrs. Shen saw the chestnuts, she was happy for three seconds at first, then she remembered the roasted chicken with chestnuts, she brushed her face and pulled it off, "You are not a good person either, did you bring these chestnuts home to cook chicken again? "

Shen Yu felt slightly guilty, and finally said righteously, "Mother, I have no conscience, I don't think so, you are slandering me."

Seeing his serious expression, Mrs. Shen was suspicious for a moment, "Really?"

"No."

"Okay, just trust you this time."

Shen Yu looked at the back of Mrs. Shen leaving, and heaved a sigh of relief, alas, it was so dangerous.

"Stinky boy, you are not kind! Why didn't you say it earlier."

"You want me to come!"

"By the way, Dad, what do you want from me?"

"That's right." Only then did Old Shen remember, "Why haven't the Basswood shiitake mushrooms grown yet? It's been five months. Don't tell me it's broken?"

Shen Yu looked at old man Shen miraculously, "Isn't it written in the pamphlet?"

Old man Shen was uncomfortable, but finally told the truth, "I burned that book."

Shen Yu's eyes widened, "Father, what are you talking about? You burned that book?"

"No, I'm worried, the book came from something unclear, and you came back from it, so I'm not afraid that something bad will happen."

Only then did Shen Yu know that his parents had been worried all along, but they didn't express it.

"Father, don't worry, I'm back, what's wrong?" Shen Yu tried to comfort Old Man Shen.

Old man Shen didn't know if he had believed it, "So, why didn't the basswood shiitake mushrooms give out mushrooms?"

Is the topic so jumpy?Shen Yu thought for a while, and finally said uncertainly, "Why don't you wait a little longer, maybe it will be posted in two days?"

Old man Shen didn't get the confirmed news, he was a little disappointed, shook his head and left.

"Hey, why is it so difficult to grow a mushroom?"

Shen Yu thought the matter was over, but not long after, old man Shen came over with two dead chickens, "Old Five, let's eat chicken tonight."

Shen Yu looked at his father with admiration, and had the urge to give him a thumbs up, ouch, dad, you are so strong.

"Boy, let me tell you, you are still a little tender. Is the scolding of your father worthless? No, let me tell you, I will kill this chicken right now and stew it, your mother Can she still eat it?"

"What if my mother asks me?" Shen Yu looked at Old Man Shen worriedly. Will this be blown up?Will it?

"That's why you are a little tender!" Old Shen said nonchalantly, "I ordered ten chicks at your grand-in-law's house before, and they are all this big now." Old Shen gestured with his hand, " I'll catch it tomorrow, isn't your mother raising chickens? Let her raise them."

Does this actually work?

Old man Shen finished speaking with a proud face, and was about to leave, Shen Yu asked, "What if this little chick is so noisy?"

Old man Shen made a gesture of cutting with a knife, "Hey, chicken stewed with mushrooms is also very delicious."

"Gao, you are always so tall!"

Old man Shen raised his head triumphantly, like a big rooster who has won a battle, "Of course, so! Fifth, you have to learn from your father and me."

Shen Yu shook his head timidly, although he felt that old man Shen's idea was good, but he had another intuition that old man Shen might be cut off tonight.

Shen Yu nodded silently and walked towards the kitchen with two chickens in his hand. Old man Shen was still shouting from behind, "Old man, stewed with chestnuts, it tastes delicious!"
