Exile Transformation [Farming]

"Fourth, why is your car so smelly? What are you..." Old Shen didn't finish his sentence, but his eyes were full of disgust.

Fourth Shen: Ever since I left home, my father doesn’t love me, and my mother doesn’t love me anymore.

When Shen Yu smelled it, his spirit was shaken.Then he quickly got into the donkey cart, and found a basket with sacks in the corner.

"Hey, fifth brother, what are you doing? The inside is stinky, and you are still drilling inside, let fourth brother go by himself." Old man Shen called from behind.

Fourth Shen was wronged continuously, and finally couldn't take it anymore, "Father, don't wrong people, this is seafood sold from the seaside, if you don't know the goods, forget it."

Old man Shen was stunned for a moment, and then looked disgusted, "What kind of seafood is so stinky, it must be delicious?"

Shen Yu yelled from inside, "Fourth brother, do you want to unload your stuff?"

"Unload, but you come down, the upper compartment is not big, you are struggling so much, I will come."

Without hesitation, Shen Yu got out of the car.

Fourth Shen bought a lot of things, including bits and pieces.And Lingnan is closer to the sea than Pingxi Town, so there are still some seafood brought in from the sea, so Shen Laosi bought some this time.However, he didn't have much money, and what he brought was not very expensive, that is, kelp, dried sea fish or dried shrimp. Except for kelp, other dried goods were not satisfactory.

For example, there is no other processing of dried shrimp or fish, just dried directly, the original taste is true, but it has an unpleasant smell.

"Fourth, how much did you spend on these things?" Old Man Shen asked in disbelief, pointing to the basket of seafood.

"Two taels of silver." Fourth Shen said lightly.

"What? You spent two taels of silver for such a loss?" Boss Shen paused just as he was about to stop Old Man Shen, a little unbelievable.

"So, fourth brother, how much did you earn this time?"

Fourth Shen smiled triumphantly, "Hey, guess what?"

Seeing his complacent look, Old Man Shen slapped him on the head with a bang, "Say it quickly."

"Dried mushrooms are selling well. There is a north-south groceries over there. I asked. They all sell 900 yuan a catty, which is not as good as ours. I looked for restaurants or restaurants there, and they also sold them for 900 yuan. Wen, the one hundred catties of dried mushrooms I brought were sold for nine taels of silver."

"So expensive?"

"Is this shopkeeper Xiaohu playing tricks on us? Our mushrooms only cost three hundred cash per catty."

Seeing them like this, Shen Laosi was not comforted, "You are also thinking about it, my mushrooms are expensive because there is not much rain in Lingnan, and there is even a drought, so they are so expensive. Another thing is that rare things are more expensive , believe it or not, dried mushrooms will be cheaper."

"I don't believe it, it's three hundred, how can it be cheaper?"

"If you don't believe me, just wait!"

"Fifth, what do you say?" Old man Shen looked at Shen Yu.

"Where is the person? Where did the fifth go?"

Boss Shen said, "It seems that I moved seafood to the kitchen before."

Shen Yu carried the seafood basket to the kitchen. Mrs. Shen was helping Mrs. Shen Song to cook. The rice had already been cooked, and Mrs. Shen was cutting tofu and green onions.

"Mom, do you want tofu tonight?"

"Well, I also fried tofu today. The fourth brother traveled all the way, and he had to order a decent dish. Unfortunately, there is no meat at home. If there is some meat, it is like the last time. The fourth brother must have never eaten it. .”

"Mom, are you talking about the mapo tofu? It's so delicious. I can eat three bowls of soup and rice."

When it comes to mapo tofu, Shen Yu always feels that the ones here are not authentic and can only be regarded as Xibei products. The authentic ones need to be thickened with a little starch.It's just that there doesn't seem to be any lake here...

Starch... powder=sweet potato flour.

Shen Yu started to head towards the backyard.

He remembered that the sweet potato had sprouted, and he also used vine cuttings to cut a small area. Thinking about it at this time, it seems that it should be able to harvest.

Randomly took a hoe, Shen Yu dug one, the land is quite fertile, one sweet potato vine produced four big sweet potatoes, each of which was bigger than a man's fist.It's a pity that one of the sweet potatoes was bitten by a mouse.

Shen Yu wanted to use the sweet potatoes as seeds, so he didn't plan to touch anything else, so he took the four sweet potatoes back.

"Son, what is that in your hand?" Mrs. Shen asked, and then she recognized it, "Isn't this the pile behind you?"

"how do you know?"

"Hey, I've looked at it, but last time I saw it, it was just a little bit. Is it this big?"

"Hmm. This is a sweet potato. It's delicious both raw and cooked." Shen Yu explained.

Shen Yu washed the sweet potatoes, cut them into small pieces, and put them under the steamer. Then when he asked his second sister-in-law to drain the rice, he just put the rice on top of the sweet potatoes without moving.

Although Shen Song didn't know the sweet potato, he knew it should be eaten, so he didn't ask much.

After steaming the sweet potato rice, Shen Yu brought the seafood in front of Mrs. Shen, "Mother, look?"

Shen Songshi stepped forward, "Little brother, what are you?"

"Seafood, from the fourth belt."

"Mother, look, the dried eel, dried squid, kelp, and large yellow croaker that the fourth brother bought for you." Shen Yu was very excited. After a long time, he finally wanted to eat seafood. "Mother, look at this large yellow croaker. The stem is so big, it must be five catties alive, and the shrimp is so big, bigger than a palm, mother, the fourth child is cheap to buy seafood."

Mrs. Shen was a little disgusted by the smell. After all, to Mrs. Shen, she felt that pig liver was a bit fishy, ​​and this dried seafood was the ancestor of the fishy smell.

"Son, do you want to eat?"

Shen Yu looked at the seafood in the basket, "Mother, cook some shrimp. Tomorrow, I soaked seaweed. You can buy a few catties of big bones. Let's eat seaweed pork rib soup, okay?"

"Okay, alas, this fish is called a big yellow croaker, right? How many do you see? If there are more, I will send one to your uncle and third uncle's house."

"Okay." Shen Yu answered quickly, "Mother, and, I won't eat this squid, let's dry it again, and use it to stew three delicacies soup during the Chinese New Year. It's delicious."

Mrs. Shen didn't understand these foods, she heard what her youngest son said, and she didn't intend to refute at all. When she heard that Shen Yu wanted to eat shrimp, she thought about it and decided to forget it.

"Son, let's eat it tomorrow. Tomorrow, we cooked shrimp and stewed seaweed. We also invited Mu Jing to have a meal as you mentioned. This Xiao Mu is also sincere, so tell him not to give anything away. , I still send them every now and then."

Shen Yu was a little bit disappointed, and nodded after hearing Mrs. Shen's explanation, "Mother, bring me to the market tomorrow, this time we don't need to borrow uncle's ox cart, we will use fourth brother's donkey cart, that Soon."

Mrs. Shen originally disagreed and wanted her son to be raised at home again, but when she saw Shen Yu's flattering eyes, she gave up, "Go, go."

The old man Shen took Shen Yu and his brothers to discuss in the yard for a long time, knowing that the discussion was not over yet when they heard the voice of Mrs. Shen calling for dinner.

After getting to the dinner table, old man Shen continued, "Fifth and fourth sons said that the price of mushrooms will be reduced, right?"

"This is very likely. I have said it before, and it may not be."

"How to say?"

"Our country is quite big. Even if we produce 10 catties of dried mushrooms a year, we are not afraid that there will be no place to sell them. This time, we sold 300 catties to Brother Hu San for the purpose of advertising and testing the water. As for The question of whether to reduce the price depends on the reaction of the villagers, and you can still be the master of the whole village."

Old man Shen choked, and suddenly felt that the old fifth was very straightforward today, but he was quite reserved in the past?

However, what the fifth child said today was also the same thing. Before he asked Shen Yu if there was a solution, he heard the youngest son say, "Father, why are you worrying so much? Our family will not grow so much in the future." If there are too many mushrooms, just sell the mushroom seeds directly, uncle should worry about this matter!"

Old man Shen nodded, "It's right, I'll talk to your uncle again in a few days."

Seeing that his father didn't ask any more questions, Shen Yu took a bowl to put rice in. He didn't want rice, so he went to find the sweet potato at the bottom.

"Old five, what is this?"

"sweet potato."

"What are sweet potatoes?"

"It's the sprouted thing I picked up in the field the day I picked up copper coins and iron blocks, and the one I planted in the backyard." Shen Yu explained.

Old man Shen nodded, "Is this food edible?"

"It's edible, the leaves. The chickens have been eating it for a long time. The sweet potatoes and the mice have also helped to eat them. It should not be poisonous." As he said, Shen Yu ate a piece of sweet potatoes, which were sweet and soft. When I ate it suddenly, it felt like I had eaten some delicacies from mountains and seas.

Fourth Shen took a piece of sweet potato and ate it, then nodded, "This tastes really good."

In short, sweet potatoes are well received at home, especially women, who love the sweet and glutinous taste of sweet potatoes.

Even when Mrs. Shen Liu was cooking the next day, she wanted to dig up sweet potatoes to make porridge, but Mrs. Shen stopped her, "This sweet potato, my fifth brother said it was used as a seed, and there should be sweet potatoes to eat tomorrow."

Shen Liushi suddenly realized, "Mother, it's a good deal. I only planted one sweet potato at the beginning, but I planted such a large field. If so many sweet potatoes are used for seeding in the next year, how big a field will I have to plant?"

"Your father has to discuss this matter. We will talk about it next year. I still don't know what kind of sweet potato is grown?"

"Saving seeds, it's quite simple, it's a ventilated place, and it can't be frozen."

Mrs. Shen shook her head when she heard Shen Yu's official speech, "Son, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Shen Yu himself didn't understand. What people said was a ventilated place, and some parts were frozen, so he was actually at a loss.

"Forget it, don't worry about it, eat, we'll go to town together after eating." Finally, Mrs. Shen said, anyway, it will take a while to worry, and we can always find a way.

"It's not too cold to be ventilated." Old man Shen muttered in the car, and then he slapped his hands, "I thought of it, how does this look like the cellar in the northeast."

Is the cellar ventilated?Shen Yu didn't know.

"Father, how do you know?"

"When we were in the Huotou Army, didn't a comrade-in-arms also come from the Northeast? He mentioned that every family has a cellar where they store radishes and cabbages." Old man Shen looked at Old Lady Shen and Shen Yu triumphantly. , expecting to see their praiseful gazes, but met Shen Laoniang and Shen Yu's strange gazes.

Didn't my father say that he went to the battlefield to fight?How did you become a firefighter?

Mrs. Shen is also in a complicated mood. The old man always said that he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so he was a fire-headed army?But fortunately, if he really went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, maybe the old man wouldn't be able to come back with his whole body intact.
