Chapter 492 She doesn't agree, but she can't control it
We had a barbecue in the evening. We used two pheasants and a rabbit, chopped them into pieces and marinated them with seasonings.
So many pheasant wings, gizzards, and chicken feet were marinated together, so that everyone could have a portion.
He also fished out several crucian carps that were more than three fingers wide from the pond, slaughtered and cleaned them, and also pickled them.
Soak some squid in warm water.
These few meat dishes are enough, and then prepare vegetarian dishes. There are not many vegetables in winter, so prepare fresh mushrooms, leeks, bamboo shoots, winter melon, pumpkin, yam, and Chinese cabbage.
Eating only barbecue was too greasy, so he chopped the grouse and wild pigeons into four large pieces, marinated them with Jiang's cooking wine, salt, etc., and cooked a pot of porridge.
Qiao Xuan prepared the seasoning sauce in advance, and when dusk fell, everyone lit a fire and started cooking.
There were wire meshes covering the two stoves, and pieces of marinated meat were put on them to be grilled. Soon, they began to sizzle and emit a fragrant aroma. Shao Junyan and Shao Qing were also standing around, eagerly waiting to eat. There was laughter in the backyard.
Yan brought back pheasants, wild rabbits and winter bamboo shoots, and Niu was very happy.
Yan smiled and said that she bought them herself. Because they were family, her aunt sold them to her at a particularly low price, only about ten cents per piece, and the winter bamboo shoots were given to her as a gift.
When she heard that money had been spent, Niu couldn't help but feel distressed and grimaced: "Oh my, your great aunt bullied you! You still want money for this!"
Yan was speechless, but she smiled patiently and said, "Mother, my aunt didn't want it at first, but I insisted on giving it to her. We can't just take other people's things for free, right? If someone wants to take my things for free, I won't give them to them. Besides, it's really cheap! Let's roast the pheasant with the winter bamboo shoots tonight, and eat the rabbit tomorrow night!"
Niu: “.”
Niu felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what Yan said, but she couldn't refute it.
On second thought, it wasn't his own money that was being spent anyway, so it could be considered as Yan's way of being filial to him, so he didn't say anything more.
He just said, "Don't be so stupid next time, give her the money! Xiao Qi knows how to hunt, so why would he charge for giving us a share?"
Yan smiled and said, "Mom, I'm going to cook first."
Yan found it amazing that he could take other people's things so confidently.
But this is my mother-in-law, she can’t do anything even if she doesn’t agree.
But she can take care of herself and her man
The next day, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan went to Zhangjia Village.
The two went to meet Ding Erzhu and his wife and the tenants to discuss the spring plowing after the beginning of spring.
I met the head of Zhangjia Village again. The tea seedlings and fig vines are ready for transplanting. This season of sudden warmth and cold is just right.
It is neither cold nor hot now, and the water loss during cuttings and transplanting will be minimal. After the first spring rain, the plants will quickly come back to life and take root and sprout.
Besides, Qiao Xuan will definitely use her special powers to take care of the newly planted seedlings, so there is no need to worry about the survival rate; they will only thrive.
It is still relatively early to start spring ploughing, so the villagers naturally want to earn some wages.
Qiao Xuan asked someone to go to Ding Erzhu to register. Ten people were required, limited to one per family, until the quota was filled.
The villagers were doing the work of transplanting and cutting, while the tenants were doing the work of planting the tea seedlings.
After everything is arranged, we will go into the mountains to dig tea seedlings and cut litchi.
The two of them had no intention of letting outsiders get involved in this matter, so it had to be done by their own family.
