Chen Zhaodi prepared a table of delicious food, which impressed Director Fang.
The Liu family has Liu Xinyu, who is a good money-maker, so they are certainly not short of money, but it is certainly not easy for a farmer in a small mountain village to prepare such a table of delicious food temporarily.
Liu Xinyu also didn't expect that Chen Zhaodi would prepare ten dishes in such a short period of time.
Sweet and sour fish, braised shrimp in oil, roasted eel with garlic, roasted chicken with millet, steamed bacon and sausage, five hard vegetables.
The other five are of course seasonal vegetables, including cold cucumbers, snowflake tomatoes, tiger green peppers, ground three delicacies, and stir-fried luffa.
Finally, we served a winter melon and kelp soup stewed with cured pork ribs, which was really delicious.
The only regret is that there is no good wine at home.
But even so, the director Fang said he enjoyed it very much.
Not to mention farmhouses, even in cities, the Chinese New Year is not so rich.
That night, Factory Director Fang and the driver spent the whole night fighting in Liu Qingshan's bedroom.
Early the next morning, they rushed to Shenshi with the breakfast prepared by Liu Xinyu herself.
Today the Liu family has to harvest rice. Although the Liu family has little labor, they have a population of eight and have been allocated more than three acres of paddy field.
Since the rice was to be harvested today, Liu Xinyu certainly couldn't rush to assemble the machine. She planned to go to the fields to harvest.
Of course, Chen Zhaodi could not let her go to the fields to cut rice. Not to mention that Liu Xinyu had never done farm work. Even if she had done it, she would not want Liu Xinyu to have to endure the hardship. Therefore, as in previous years, Liu Xinyu was still only responsible for the family's meals.
It's not too early for the Liu family to start harvesting, but it's not too late either. The village had started harvesting three days ago.
This is the first year that the Minqin Brigade has implemented household-based production quotas. In addition to the grain that needs to be handed over to the public, the rest is the family's rations. The quality of the harvest is related to the family's food problem.
According to Chen Zhaodi, since the household quota was implemented, no matter how lazy they were before, they are now focused on the fields. Therefore, the early rice yield per mu of the Minqin Brigade this year is at least 10% higher than in previous years.
The real strong labor force of the Liu family is actually Liu Qingsong. Liu Houxing had been ill since last year, and his body and bones were obviously not as good as before.
Although Chen Zhaodi and Wang Sanmei are both capable, they are lesbians after all, and their physical strength is definitely not as good as that of men.
"Hey, I don't think it will rain in the next two days. There is no need to cut all the rice in one day. It's better to divide it into two or even three days." According to Chen Zhaodi, more than three acres of rice must be cut in one day.
After harvesting, Liu Xinyu quickly advised.
In fact, Liu Xinyu really wanted to hire a few laborers and leave all the harvesting and paddy work to the laborers, while her own family would be responsible for drying the rice.
This way, her family will not be too tired, and she will have time to assemble the machines and start the factory as soon as possible.
It's a pity that even if she knew that her family was really not short of money, Chen Zhaodi would never agree.
After listening to Liu Xinyu's words, Chen Zhaodi gave Liu Xinyu a look and said: "Everyone in our family can work in the fields now, but the area is just over three acres. If you go to the fields early and come home late, you can finish cutting in one day. Just feel free to cook at home.
It’s up to us to cut the rice!”
Well, Liu Xinyu sighed quietly in her heart, and said nothing more. She just secretly decided in her heart that she must do a good job in logistical support so that her family can eat and drink well!
When the factory director sent Fang out of the village and returned home, there was no one at home. Even Liu Xincheng, the fourth child who was only five years old this year, went to the fields with him.
Liu Xinyu quickly started cooking mung bean soup. The weather was hot and she had to drink enough soup to prevent heat stroke.
In addition to mung bean soup, Liu Xinyu also found honeysuckle and mint dried at home and brewed a large teapot of mint and honeysuckle tea.
They were all placed in baskets and hung on ropes in the well.
After finishing these two things as soon as possible, Liu Xinyu began to prepare snacks before lunch.
If Chen Zhaodi planned to finish all the harvesting today, he would not have much time to rest at noon. He would have to prepare four to five meals a day to maintain his physical strength.
Liu Xinyu plans to make pancakes
Take wheat flour, add water and yeast, mix it well, put it in a basin and let it rise for half an hour. Use the resting time to go to the vegetable patch in the backyard.
Picked some cowpeas.
Remove the parts with insect eyes, clean the cowpeas with well water, and cut them into small cubes for later use.
He took out the pork from the cupboard, looked at it from top to bottom, and cut off about eight ounces of pork with the right amount of fat and leanness.
This piece of pork was just bought and is very fresh.
When the factory director and his friends were leaving the village just now, they happened to meet the supply and marketing cooperative delivering fresh pork to the countryside.
The supply and marketing cooperative's delivery of meat to the countryside is a special treatment only available during busy farming periods. Meat stamps are also required, and the price is slightly more expensive than buying it in town yourself. It is more convenient.
If she didn't encounter a mobile store delivering meat to the countryside, Liu Xinyu planned to ride a bicycle to the town to buy meat.
Since I happened to meet him, of course I did whatever was convenient, so I asked the meat seller to wait for a while, ran home and asked Chen Zhaodi for two kilograms of meat tickets, and ran to the village entrance to buy two kilograms of good front leg meat.
Cut the cut meat into small dices and then chop it into minced meat. Add the cowpeas cut into small dices before, add salt and MSG, and after thinking about it, add an egg to it and mix it into the filling.
By this time, Mian was almost awake.
It had been a long time since she had cooked for the whole family by herself, and she was cooking on a large farm stove that she rarely used. Liu Xinyu was a little confused at the beginning. After baking two cakes, she mastered the heat, and then she seemed to be very smooth.
.
The noodles and fillings were quite bloody. Looking at the basket full of pies, Liu Xinyu made herself smile.
No matter what, just have more.
I couldn’t finish eating in the morning, but I could continue eating in the afternoon.
Although the weather is very hot, this pie will not go bad within a day.
I pulled up the mung bean soup and mint and honeysuckle tea that were simmering in the well, and tried them with my hands. They found that they had cooled down. Although it was not comparable to the effect of the refrigerator, the cooling effect of this well was indeed good.
After finding a bamboo hat and putting it on her head, carrying a basket with clean bowls and spoons on her back, and carrying a basket in each hand, Liu Xinyu closed the door and set off for the paddy field that she had contracted for.
Of course Liu Xinyu knew where the paddy fields that the Liu family was responsible for were located. It was a bit far from the village.
Although it was not yet eight o'clock, the temperature was already over 30 degrees, and Liu Xinyu felt sweating all over her body not long after walking.
The original Liu Xinyu would definitely not have been able to endure this hardship, let alone carry so many things.
Now Liu Xinyu, because of Liu Qingshan's inheritance, carrying this little thing is just a trivial matter.
However, hot weather is still a severe test for Liu Xinyu.
"Xinyu, they brought food to your grandma. What delicious food did they bring? It smells so good?" Zhang Haisheng, who was passing by Zhang's family's paddy field and cutting rice, sniffed hard and asked.
Liu Xinyu smiled sweetly and said: "It's not something rare, it's just flour pancakes. I made a lot of them. Uncle Haisheng, would you like a couple of them?"
Before Zhang Haisheng could speak, he heard Zhang Zhishu, who was sitting on the field ridge smoking, coughing twice. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, I'm not hungry. Send it to your grandparents quickly. By the way, wait."
When I'm free, I'll go to your house to find you." This chapter has been completed!
