Chapter 32 The fisherman gets a profit
Hetang Village celebrates the 15th day at noon, and no one is willing to waste kerosene lamps to celebrate the festival. At most, they can take some melon seeds and peanuts that were not eaten during the New Year in the evening, and the family talks to the moonlight.
An Zhixia was fine now, so she tried to fix her food.
The fire in the kitchen is burning every day, and the temperature in the room is not low. The brother and sister have already planted vegetables with short growth cycles near the wall.
In order to allow the vegetables to get enough sunlight, An Zhiqiu specially knocked out windows on the other two sides of the wall, covered them with paper, and transformed them into simple greenhouses.
At this time, the water celery, Chinese cabbage and green onions have grown, and most of the spinach has grown.
Using celery juice, pumpkin puree, and sesame powder as coloring matter, An Zhixia directed her brother to make the dough.
Looking at the white, green, yellow and black dough, An Zhiqiu really couldn't understand why it took so much effort to make glutinous rice **** and dumplings for only two people to eat.
As long as his sister is happy playing around, he can coax her to get excited.
An Zhixia likes to eat fried glutinous rice **** stuffed with sesame seeds, and she also prepared some with peanuts, red beans and chestnuts.
While the mood was good, she also prepared several kinds of dumpling fillings, including diced mushrooms and pork, minced pepper fish, vegetarian three delicacies, and celery meat.
Men have big hands and heavy work, so An Zhixia can only make dumplings and make glutinous rice **** by herself.
However, looking at the colorful food, she thought of the dishes in a specialty dumpling restaurant. There happened to be a similar recipe in the supermarket, so she directed her brother to be the chef.
Braised pork, steamed bacon with dried bamboo shoots, spicy rabbit dices, vinegared peanuts, yellow rice cold cake, scallions and eggs, boiled lettuce, hot pumpkin drink, and a caramelized apple, let’s have a good time!
Everything is done according to the recipe. The time, heat, and weight are all given precise values. It is said to be a recipe for zero failure.
An Zhiqiu tasted each dish one by one, and her self-confidence instantly swelled. "Sister, I think I can be a chef in a state-owned restaurant. Look at our skills. As expected, I was born to the same parents, and my talents are similar."
An Zhixia patted her brother on the shoulder: "He is a good prospect to be a cook. A man must be able to work in the hall, work in the kitchen, fight with mistresses, and beat up gangsters, only then can he get a wife who is as beautiful as a flower. Brother, you have great potential." , keep training, I’m optimistic about you!”
After more than 20 days of applying antifreeze cream three times a day, using facial cleanser, skin care products, and no-rinse facial masks every day, I drank the Shiquan Tonic Soup, fish, meat, milk, and eggs in turn, plus clean, neat and beautiful new clothes. Clothes and their appearance have undergone changes comparable to plastic surgery.
A man's body will be strong and tall, and a woman's body will be plump and slim.
With fair faces and fleshy faces, the brother and sister's exquisite facial features are like pulling off a hazy gauze curtain, becoming extraordinarily beautiful, and they seem to stand out among the crowd. Handsome young men from the south like Hang Xianglei and Nie Yichang, as well as delicate and graceful heroines, all stood aside.
After all, the supporting characters can only support the protagonist if they are very handsome.
An Zhiqiu's face turned red after the girl said a few words, and she was rudely slapped in the head. He gritted his teeth and said in embarrassment: "Little girl, how old are you, and you only think about these things? We just came here, so we have to Work hard and strive to return to the city as soon as possible. Therefore, these miscellaneous thoughts must be abandoned as soon as possible. Also," he looked at his increasingly beautiful sister and warned with a solemn face: "You have to believe in brother, we will definitely be able to do it within five years. Those who have returned to the city. No matter whether they are young men in the village, educated youths who have gone to the countryside, or even workers in the cities and towns, you are not allowed to have much contact with them.
When you get back to the city, there will be a lot of good young people who can support your family for you to choose from. "
An Zhixia asked curiously: "Brother, how can you be sure it won't be five years?"
Five years later it is time for the college entrance examination to resume. Is it possible that my brother has been reborn or time traveled?
Looking at him, he doesn’t seem to have done much these days, and he doesn’t look like...
An Zhiqiu smiled and patted his chest: "Am I the one who failed to succeed? Going to the countryside to support construction is just a temporary break from the family plan, and the household registration and files are taken out so that Kang Xiaohua will not manipulate them.
When there are recruitment quotas in the city, we will go back and take the exam. With our high school diploma, let alone entering the office, we can become an assistant or apprentice in the head office, right? As long as we get back to the city, let's climb up step by step and make the people in the An family jealous! "
"Okay, brother, I'm waiting for you to take me back to the city."
After dinner, An Zhixia brought the basket from the village chief's house and replaced the things her brother had prepared with a plate of colorful dumplings, a plate of glutinous rice balls, and a plate of yellow rice cakes. She heard Fei Zheng say that the village chief's daughter-in-law was in confinement. Inside, I added a box of ancient brown sugar with the date removed.
Thinking of the rabbit that the Fang family had delivered in the morning, I also prepared three plates of food for the Fang family and asked my brother to send it over with him.
Hetang Village is located in the central part of Xiahua Kingdom, neither south nor north, and is surrounded by a river. It is surrounded by mountains and the land varies greatly, so there are many varieties of crops.
As soon as the fifteenth day passed and the spring plowing mobilization meeting was held, everyone went to work in the fields with their tools.
There is more activity in spring, and the land in the village is divided into paddy fields, dry fields and sandy fields, and the crops to be grown in each type of land are different. For the educated youth from the city, they can only start with the simplest and basic tasks.
Plowing the land, plowing the land, fertilizing, raising seedlings, watering, and weeding, all one after another.
In order to ensure spring planting, the village specially opened a large canteen to provide breakfast and lunch meals with grain, dried vegetables and pickled meat from New Year pigs in the village to ensure that everyone has enough physical strength to keep up and plant crops in time.
Hetang Village is not a big one, but it still has its own world.
The village party secretary and the village chief are the first and second leaders in the village, because there have been conflicts between the wives, and each has its own small power. Therefore, Qi Yunlan and An Zhixia, as a result of the struggle between the two forces, both became the chefs that everyone envied.
Before dawn, the whistle for morning work sounded.
Everyone got up, put on their clothes and washed up. An Zhixia grabbed her brother who was still confused after following the team and stuffed two eggs, a piece of jujube cake and a pot of brown sugar water into his arms.
Nie Yichang's face changed with envy. He wanted to rub it but was embarrassed. He could only turn his head and look at Qi Yunlan who had just left the house: "Qi Zhiqing, do you have anything hot to eat here? I don't have anything in my stomach. I have no energy to work." ”
Qi Yunlan was startled and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I just came here and I have no experience. How about you guys eat some biscuits first? Wait until tomorrow. I will get up early and make you some easy-to-carry food."
Everyone rubbed their flat stomachs and went to the warehouse to get tools.
Chen Sike twirled his hair irritably. He didn't even put on his clothes neatly, so he took the keys and ran all the way to the warehouse.
Without much effort, An Zhixia and Qi Yunlan were the only ones left in the yard.
The two of them didn't speak, each took care of themselves slowly, then put on their half-worn clothes, locked the door and headed to the cafeteria.
