Farming Food Tycoon - Chapter 86
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the winter is warm and sunny.
Brother Le removed all the quilts and sheets of everyone in the family for cleaning, and the four men were responsible for cleaning the house.
Before the new year, it was when they were selling well. Even Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao were helping out at the snack bar. The snack bar did not have a holiday that day, but was off work half an hour earlier, so the house had not been cleaned yet.
Put on the hat and tie a clean new broom to the long bamboo pole to sweep the house.
The strength of the two boys was not strong, and after holding the Penny for a while, their hands became sore. Yu Qingze asked them to sweep the floor and wipe the desks and cabinets.
The four men cleaned the inside and outside of the house, and moved the cabinets and beds one by one and swept them.
“Hey, Xiaohao, there is a copper hairpin here.” While Jiabao was cleaning the bottom of Changle’s bed, he found a muddy hairpin in the ground between the bedpost and the wall, which had been buried in the soil. Most of it. He pulled out the hairpin and said to Chang Hao.
“Where? Let me take a look.” Chang Hao went over, took it and took a closer look, and said: “I haven’t seen it. It doesn’t seem to be my brother’s. I haven’t seen him use it. I’ll ask Grandpa.”
“Grandpa, we found a hairpin.” Chang Hao grabbed the copper hairpin and went out to the hall to ask Grandpa Chang, and added: “It doesn’t seem to be my brother’s.”
“What kind of hairpin?” Grandpa Chang stopped, turned his head and glanced, paused, reached out and took it, gently rubbed the dust on it, and said, “This is yours.”
Chang Hao widened his eyes and said in surprise: “Am I?”
When Dad Chang Hao passed away, he was only two years old. He has no memory of Dad. He only remembers the worship during the New Year and New Year holidays. Since he remembered, there were only his brother and grandpa.
“Yeah.” Grandpa Chang looked at the hairpin for a while, and then said: “When you were a kid, you held it for fun and accidentally lost it. Your brother looked for it for a long time and never found it. Where did you find it?”
Chang Hao replied, “Brother Jiabao found it in the corner between the pillar of the bed and the wall. I moved the bed away, and I saw it, and it was buried in the soil.”
Grandpa Chang said oh, then handed him the hairpin, and said, “Take it and wash it clean and wait for your brother to come back to him.”
“Oh.” Chang Hao took the hairpin to the kitchen and washed it away.
When Le brother came back, he saw the hairpin in his younger brother’s hand and grabbed it excitedly, stroking it over and over again, smiling silently, but his eyes were wet.
Chang Hao saw how excited his brother was and said, “Brother, grandpa said this is Ah Ma’s hairpin?”
Brother Le nodded.
“I lost it when I was a kid?”
Brother Le continued to nod his head.
“I’m sorry, brother.” Looking at his brother’s appearance, Chang Hao knew that his brother was very fond of the hairpin. Although he had no impression of Daddy, his brother and Daddy had a deep relationship.
Hearing this, Le Geer shook his head and touched his younger brother’s head, indicating that it was okay.
Brother Le put the hairpin in the room and put it away properly.
He accidentally recovered something that he hadn’t seen for many years, but it was his Ama’s relic, and Le brother was very happy.
The next day, at the twenty-ninth year of the year, Brother Le’s family wanted to kill the pig.
Early in the morning, the whole family got up before dawn, and Chang Hao and Jia Bao also got up to watch the excitement.
The guys who are good at killing pigs and the guys from the village invited to help have all come, and Wen Li and Brother Chang’s family also come. It is custom in the village to ask relatives and close friends to come to help and have breakfast together when killing pigs. Yesterday, Brother Chang’s family killed the New Year pig, and Brother Le’s family also had breakfast in the past.
The buddies boil water and steam rice in the kitchen. They boiled three big pots of boiling water and prepared them.
The guys brought two very large long stools and placed them in the yard. Then, a few of them went into the pigpen. The pig killer hooked the hook to the pig’s neck and then dragged it out. .
The fat pig roared and awakened everyone around him. As soon as I heard, oh, killing pigs, I heard it often these days, so I went to sleep again.
Someone helped drag the pigs in the front, and some others drove behind, and it took a little effort to drag the pigs out of the pigpen to the yard. Several people worked together to lift the pig onto the bench and lay it on its side, and then several guys pressed the pig’s limbs and body hard to prevent it from moving.
Chang Hao and Jiabao, as well as the children of Brother Chang and Wenli’s family, were watching curiously. Although they had seen it once yesterday, they still kept their eyes on them.
Seeing that Le brother had already prepared the tub, the pig slaughterer asked him to fill the blood later, then spotted the position and slaughtered the pig neatly.
Upon seeing this, Le Brother hurriedly took the tub to fill the pig’s blood.
After filling the pig blood, Le Geer immediately brought the basin to the kitchen and added some water and salt to let it solidify.
In the yard, when the pig stopped moving, the slaughterman cut a hole just above the pig’s hoof, and then began to blow into it. After the drums were blown, the men lifted the pigs into a large wooden basin, and then began to pour boiled water on the pigs, and then began to shave the pig’s hair after it was poured.
After scraping the pig’s hair, he hung the pig upside down on a ladder, and then began to deal with it…
Seeing the pig hair, Yu Qingze thought of one thing. He swept all the pig hairs together and put them under the eaves.
When the pig innards were all taken out, Yu Qingze immediately asked Brother Chang to take the pig intestines and clean them. He was going to make a blood sausage for everyone to taste later.
The guys in the yard were busy cutting the pieces, and Yu Qingze and Brother Le began to wash and cut the vegetables.
After a busy morning, the food is ready. Country folks, everyone is not so particular, just put the tables and stools in the yard and you can eat. Everyone added up and sat at three tables, which was very lively.
The food is on the table.
Pork’s blood sausage, stir-fried pork liver, small stir-fried kidneys, braised pork, small stir-fried pork, braised pork intestine, cured meat platter, vinegar Chinese cabbage, lean meat soup.
When everyone smelled the scent of the dish, they were suddenly energetic, and after another sip, they couldn’t stop their chopsticks and shouted that it was delicious.
After taking the dishes, Brother Le looked around and saw that he didn’t see his second uncle, did he find his uncle, and gestured as to why the second uncle hadn’t come.
“You mean your second uncle?” Wen Li looked at Chang Le’s gestures, and she guessed it. Every year, he asked it again.
Chang Le nodded.
Wen Li shook her head and said: “You know, call him every year, he never comes over, it’s okay, you just leave him alone, you go eat.”
Hearing this, Chang Le was silent for a while, and then gestured: I’ll call him.
With that said, he untied his apron, called Chang Hao, and went out.
“Hey, Brother Le…” Wen Li looked behind, sighed, put down the dishes, and followed them.
When he arrived at his second uncle’s house, his second uncle was also sitting at the door of the kitchen drinking porridge. He was stunned when he saw Le Ge’er and two brothers coming in.
“Xiao Le, Xiaohao, what are you doing here? Isn’t this just having breakfast?”
Chang Le gestured twice. Chang Hao said, “Second Uncle, my brother said that you should come with us for breakfast.”
Chang Sheng paused for a while, lowered his eyes, then raised his head and smiled and said: “I’m not going to pass, you guys will go back to eat, it’s cold, and the food will be cold later.”
Chang Le looked at his second uncle for a long time, and then made a long gesture.
Chang Hao: “My brother said that what happened back then was an accident. Don’t blame you, let you stop blaming yourself. My father and Ahma never blame you. My brother also said that the family is fine now, and he is also now. Very good, Brother Yu treats him well, he will get married next year, and you should let go of the past and live a good life.”
Hearing this, Chang Sheng’s nose became sore, he hurriedly turned his head, reached out his hand and wiped his eyes, and said in a low voice: “If I didn’t take good care of you, you wouldn’t…Ah, don’t talk about this, you go home and eat. Leave me alone, go back soon.”
Chang Le frowned, stepped forward to **** the bowls and chopsticks from his second uncle, put them in the kitchen, and then took his second uncle’s wrist and left.
“Eh, Xiao Le, you wait, wait…” Chang Sheng was a little flustered, but he couldn’t match the strength of Le brother and was dragged away.
When he met Wen Li at the door, Chang Sheng asked Wen Li to help hold Brother Le.
Wen Li gave him a look and said, “If you have the ability, you can pull it by yourself. It’s like this every year, telling you to pass, you won’t pass, and you are so old, you have to let Brother Le and the others come to invite you!” Go ahead. After walking a long way, he sniffed hard, blinked, and resisted the sourness.
Changsheng:…
As a result, Chang Sheng was forced to Chang Le’s house by Le brother.
“Oh, Chang Sheng is here, come, come, sit here, Aze cooks a good dish, we have to have a good drink.” The guys at the table cried out when they saw Chang Sheng.
Brother Le brought Chang Sheng directly to that table, and then added bowls and chopsticks to him. With these guys, his second uncle would not be able to leave.
Grandpa Chang and Yu Qingze were also at the table. Seeing Chang Sheng sitting down, Yu Qingze poured him a glass of wine and toasted a glass first: “Second Uncle, but I am looking forward to you, this will be the Chinese New Year soon. Let’s have a good drink, come, take one, and wish you a happy Chinese New Year. .”
Chang Sheng hadn’t let go. He toasted when Yu Qingze was at the table, and subconsciously picked up the wine glass, and replied: “Happy New Year!”
…
After eating pig-killing rice lively, everyone was full of praise for Yu Qingze’s craftsmanship, and finally they knew why his snack shop was so prosperous.
This craftsmanship is incredible!
After breakfast, the pig-killing man stayed to help cut the remaining pork, and everyone else went back.
They left the meat that was needed during the Chinese New Year, and they made the extra meat into bacon, and part of it was made into meat and marinated in a jar. After a busy morning, they processed a whole pig’s pork. over.
The next day, New Year’s Eve.
They got up early that morning. The whole family is wearing the new clothes made by Le Geer, very energetic.
After breakfast, Grandpa Chang and Le Geer were busy killing chickens and ducks. Yu Qingze took two teenagers to paste couplets, hang lanterns, and paste New Year pictures.
After the posting was completed, everyone was busy preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner together.
The New Year’s Eve dinner here basically starts in the middle of the afternoon, and eats it until the evening, and then eats dumplings later in the evening.
The New Year’s Eve dinner was prepared very well, with chicken, duck, and fish. Yu Qingze also bought some lamb back and made red braised lamb. He stewed the pig’s feet and put sweet potato vermicelli in it, which was also delicious.
“Come and come, the last dish, every year there is surplus! Xiaohao, you can set firecrackers!” Yu Qingze put the last braised fish on the table and shouted to Chang Hao in the yard.
“Oh! Good!” Chang Hao had already been waiting for the firecrackers to light up. Hearing Yu Qingze’s voice, he pointed the incense in his hand to the fuse of the firecrackers.
Crackling——Crackling——
New Year!
After paying homage to the ancestors, five people gathered around a table, and finally they could have a meal!
This is Yu Qingze’s first New Year’s Eve dinner since he came here, and it is also the happiest New Year’s Eve dinner he has eaten in his heart in the twelve years since his grandfather’s death.
Because, he finally celebrated the New Year with his family again.
He was happy and in high spirits, but it was a pity that Grandpa Chang was drinking Chinese medicine and could not drink, so Le Geer drank a few drinks with him.
The two teenagers could not drink, so Yu Qingze bought fresh apples and oranges and squeezed juice for them. The two teenagers also drank happily.
After eating this meal for an hour, after eating, Brother Le just lay down and was drunk.
Yu Qingze helped him into the room and let him fall asleep. He took a nap himself, and then got up again to make dumplings.
In the evening, the family ate dumplings again, surrounded the charcoal brazier, eating melon seeds, peanuts, red dates and so on, chatting while keeping the year old, the atmosphere was very pleasant.
Brother Le was doing shoes while listening to them chatting. This is a cotton shoe made for Jiabao. The remaining shoe has not been put on the upper. He wants to make it tonight, and Jiabao can wear new shoes tomorrow.
After chatting for a while, Yu Qingze remembered the pig hair he had left behind when he killed the pig yesterday, so he went to find a piece of wood, picked up the knife borrowed from the village chief’s house, and started to cut it.
“Big brother, what are you doing?” Jiabao asked.
“Let me see if I can make a toothbrush.” Yu Qingze said while cutting. He remembered seeing it on the Internet. In the past, the ancients used pig bristles to make toothbrushes at first, making small holes in the wooden strips, and then stuffing the bristles in.
Hearing this, Chang Hao asked curiously: “Toothbrush? Is it for brushing?”
Yu Qingze nodded and said, “It is not very convenient for us to always use willow branches, especially in winter, when the wicker is withered. If I can make it, then it will be convenient for us to brush our teeth.”
“Oh, what is it like?”
“Probably, thin this wooden strip a bit, then cut out rows of small holes in it, and then put the pig hair in to fix it…”
“How is this fixed?”
“Well, you have to think about it, otherwise you guys also think about it?”
“Oh, let’s think about it too, can we tie it up with a rope?”
“If the rope gets wet, it will break after a long time? Use wire?”
“Like a shuttlecock, it won’t fall out when it’s full?”
“…”
The two young boys started discussing each other.
After staying in the middle of the night, Grandpa Chang couldn’t help himself, so he went to bed first. The two teenagers are also sleepy.
Yu Qingze asked the two to go to bed, and then watched the year with Le brother.
“Brother Le, if you are sleepy, go to bed too. I’ll be there to guard.”
Brother Le shook his head, raised his shoes, and signaled that he would not be sleepy if he had work to do.
So, one of them made shoes and the other made a toothbrush. They secretly kissed them from time to time. It didn’t take long for them to feel that it was dawn.
Seeing the dawn on the horizon, the two smiled at each other.
The new year is here.
