"Hey, Sanwazi, you've been there this time, so I told them that the meal was ready and it's time to come back for dinner." Grandma Chen remembered that the meal was about to be ready, so she put on a rapeseed seedling that was carrying a carpet, and shouted to Sanwazi who was carrying a carpet on the side and was about to go out again.

"Well, young lady, I know." When I heard that it was about to eat, I tightened the rope (a strap woven with nylon pockets on my shoulder) and quickly ran two steps.

Grandma Chen entered the house and Xiaoxi had already fried all the other dishes. She was boiling water and scalding lotus root slices in the pot.

I glanced casually and saw that my mother-in-law was back, and I didn't say anything. Xiaoxi quickly picked up the lotus root slices and put them aside in a cold water basin. He scooped water, poured oil, grabbed a handful of dried peppers and stir-fried for a few times. After the surface of the peppers turned slightly yellow, he scooped them into a bowl and placed them aside for later use.

Pour in a lot of rapeseed oil, put the fish pieces into the pot and stir-fry until they are cooked in four or five minutes. Add water and cover the pot to start simmering. Then add sauerkraut, tofu and bean sprouts in turn. A pot of fragrant sauerkraut fish is ready.

Drain the lotus root slices, add salt, soy sauce, vinegar, chicken essence, pepper noodles and the chili oil that had just fried, and stir evenly. Although Xiaoxi was still a little unfamiliar, it was very quick. Grandma Chen nodded with satisfaction and picked up a lotus root slice and tasted it, "Well~ it's sour, sour, sour, sour, yes."

I just went out to fill the rapeseed seedlings, but when I came back, I just twisted the vegetables with my hands without washing my hands. Although I was not happy, I was very happy to get the praise. Xiaoxi took out the plate from the cupboard and put the lotus root slices on the plate.

While the people who came back from work were still washing their hands and faces, Xiaoxi followed her mother-in-law to serve the dishes quickly.

"Come on, come on, everyone hurry up and sit down and have dinner." Grandma Chen greeted everyone and started eating, "Don't be polite. I cooked a lot today. I'll go scoop it after I finish eating. I'll take care of it, hahaha." Xiaoxi poured soy milk for a few people who didn't drink.

"Well, yes, sister, sit down quickly, we don't need to greet you, you know." The youngest uncle next to him saw that his sister was still standing, so he called her to sit down and have a meal.

After running for a whole morning, I felt very thirsty. As soon as Xiaoxi fell, Zhao Juan picked up the paper cup and took a big sip. Then she remembered something. She turned her eyes and quickly put down the cup and whispered to Xiaoxi: "Xiu, is there any?"

Because Zhao Juan and her brother went with the adults, they were busy in the field for the whole morning. At this moment, their face was hot and flushed, like a monkey's butt, and their heads were wet, and they were stuck to their foreheads and necks one by one. Xiaoxi felt very distressed. Thinking that no matter how much she advised her to stay at home in the morning, she insisted on following her to the field, Xiaoxi said angrily: "Yes, drink quickly, some of them are you." As he said that, he picked up the soybean bottle on the table and stuffed it into her hand.

Zhao Juan took it without refusing. Seeing that there was still half a bottle, she felt so happy that she didn't need to save money. She quickly took a few more sips to quench her thirst. This was the ice of Xiaoxi. She saw the bottom of a cup with two mouthfuls. Zhao Juan raised her head and smiled embarrassedly at Xiaoxi, "Hehe... this is really delicious." Before Xiaoxi could say something, she unscrewed the bottle cap and poured another cup.

Looking at Zhao Juan, who had been unaware of the white bubbles on her mouth, Xiaoxi rolled her eyes in anger, then picked up the bowl and started eating.

I had already smelled the smell of oil smoke when I stir-fry these dishes, so I didn’t have much appetite now, so Xiaoxi started to use the cold lotus root slices. Well, it was very timely, crispy, sour and spicy, and it was very served.

"Haha... the dishes are all fried by Xiaoxi today, it's okay. I didn't even help, so I just stood there and watched." Hearing Grandma Chen's flaunting voice, Xiaoxi's hand holding the dishes shook, turned his head to see, and there were several people on the table who turned their heads and looked at him, quickly picked up the chopsticks of lotus root slices and ate them hard.

At this time, I heard Grandma Chen’s laughter on the side, and looked at Grandpa Chen who came over and joked: “No wonder I said that the dishes today are so delicious, they are not as good as you at all.”

"Hmph~ I didn't cook it well, you've eaten it all your life." Oh, this bowl of dog food really caught Xiaoxi off guard.

"Hahaha..." Wuxin's words made the person on the table laugh. Grandma Chen blushed embarrassedly and had to bury her face in her bowl.

Zhao Juan looked at the laughing adults and felt helpless. What did she give birth to, and she looked confused. Seeing Xiaoxi beside her burying her head to eat without saying anything, she had to pick up chopsticks of lotus root slices with Xiaoxi.

"Well~ Xiaoxi, did you really make this? It's so delicious." Zhao Juan pointed to the lotus root slices in the bowl and said with a look of surprise.

"Well, just blanch it in water and then stir in cold sauce, and there is still some lotus root left on the roof. If you want it, I will prepare two pieces for you when you go back later." Xiaoxi leaned into her ear and said in a low voice.

"Yeah." You know, no one in their village grows lotus roots. This is a fresh thing. Zhao Juan thought she bought it when she was on the market, so she didn't think much about it. "Well~ This pickled fish is delicious, sour and sour, and the tofu is cooked into flavor..."

"This soup rice is also delicious. You will come later? When stewing fish today, I specially added half a pot of water, and there was half a pot of soup in the pot of the house." Thinking of the deliciousness of the fish soup rice, Xiaoxi couldn't help but share it with Xiaoxi beside him.

When Zhao Juan heard this, her eyes suddenly shone with golden light, "Is that so? Well, I'll have to come later." As she said that, she picked up a slice of lotus root with chopsticks.

"I want it too, I want it too." Chen Yubin, who was standing beside him, came over and said hurriedly.

Seeing that he was scattering rice hard, several rice fell from his clothes and pants, Xiaoxi carefully twisted it, and whispered, "You eat slowly. Eat too quickly, it's bad for your stomach. Besides, there is a lot of fish soup in the pot. If you drink it, why grab it so quickly?"

Chen Yubin raised his head from the bowl and laughed embarrassedly twice.

Seeing his stupid look, Xiaoxi glanced at him angrily, "You have to eat the food slowly, don't worry..."

Life is as usual, Xiaoxi and the others should go to school, and their families also dried the millet harvested some time ago and put them in the cabinet to store them. These millets will be sold until the spring of the next year. Xiaoxi's family now sells all the millet, wheat, corn, etc., and the family eats them all in the space.

I have to eat rice and flour, because I don’t have machines, so I have to use Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen’s hands to wipe them down and process them. These are what Grandma Chen told me, and I bought them directly from the human land. She has been staying in this place for the rest of her life and has never sold it in the county town. Although I was very curious about why they sold it like this, I thought that it might be like this outside, so I didn’t ask much.

It’s a good job to have surplus food at home! After Xiaoxi chopped the red potatoes and fed them to the pigs, he looked at the six pigs in the two pigpens. Now he was fat and strong. He saw that the food on weekdays was good. Fortunately, Xiaoxi’s pigpen was built, otherwise it would be impossible to move!

A mu of red potatoes were planted in the private field in front of Xiaoxi's house. After harvesting thousands of kilograms, people would definitely not finish it. They chose all the broken ones and those eaten by insects. They chose some of them in good quality, cut them into strips and dried them, and threw them in some when cooking porridge. They piled the remaining ones into pigpens and cut them into pieces and fed them to pigs. There are two red potato cellars in front of and behind the house. Those leftover ones are selected. Those with good quality are buried in the small cellar after the house for people to eat and make seeds. The rest are buried in the cellar in front of the house, and when the pig grass is gone in winter, they are chopped and cooked for the pigs.

There are also pumpkins. Every year, a few seedlings are placed on the edge of the yard, and the vines fill the entire yard. In autumn, hundreds of kilograms of pumpkin have to be collected. Leave a few sweet noodles in the pot, and pile the rest in the pigpen, and leave them for cooking in winter for pigs to eat.

Alas, the stream supported his chin and leaned against the railing. Looking at the guys in the circle who were calculating for a month or two, they could pass (sell it), kill one of them at home and five of them to pig dealers. Although the current hairy pork (just live) is only more than three yuan per catty, then these five pigs will have to be sold for four or five thousand yuan, which is a considerable income for the Chen family, who has been digging food all year round.

I also raised more than forty chickens at home, and I could pick up about twenty eggs a day, and I rushed to the market to sell them once or twice a day. Some people who hatched chickens came to my house to buy some eggs, and some people could consume some of them when visiting relatives. There were more than ten ducks at home, and I could pick up a few green duck eggs a day. I also raised a few geese last year, but this guy was so fierce that he bit a few bites of the stream, leaving a lot of shadow in the stream's heart, so I didn't raise them at home this year.

This year, the seven-year-old buffalo in Xiaoxi's family has another cub. The male cub shed from the previous year was bought by the third aunt for 1,000 yuan. Now the cub has been more than two months old. Xiaoxi told her mother-in-law in surprise that the calf was eating the soil. Grandma Chen smiled and said, "This means that it has grown up and is about to start eating grass, hahaha..." Sure enough, not long after, the guy could eat some of the tender grass every day.

These days, Grandpa Chen has made fish sauce several times. Because Grandpa Chen has not caught the piglets and is not yet time to sell the chicks, he can only make fish sauce. He has a fixed income of 70 or 80 yuan a week. The four tanks of chili sauce were dried at home, and the stream was taken into the space. He chose some fresh chili beating and drying sauce.

Xiaoxi was worried when he saw the gradually decreasing glass bottles in the space. What should he do if the bottle of sauce is gone? There is no glass factory in the county, so he had to recycle it.

It is stipulated that those small glass bottles should be recycled at 2 cents per one, and those with large glass bottles should be recycled at 5 cents per one. Moreover, if you come to buy sauce at the stream in the future, you can also take your own bottle and get a 25 cents a loss. In this way, the idle glass bottles will return to the stream and wait for use again.
