Xu Jianguo was thinking about two main things.
The first thing was, should we let those people in the space farm go? As soon as this thought came to his mind, Xu Jianguo shook his head firmly. He couldn't let them go. These people knew his secrets. If he let them out, they would be a huge threat to him, Fu Niu, and even Wen Sitian.
Secondly, he only had eight small yellow croakers left, and his next purchase might not be enough. Could he use the space portal to get some gold? After thinking it over, Xu Jianguo thought the idea was feasible, but he hadn't decided where to go yet. Actually, setting Xiao Ben as his first target was a possibility. After all, the time difference between them and Long Xia was only an hour. If Xu Jianguo chose to act at dawn, it would also be dawn in Xiao Ben. As long as he could accurately locate their gold storage and teleport directly there, he was confident that he could plunder their vault in an instant.
"I have to find time to study the world map tomorrow to see if I can find the exact location!"
Xu Jianguo lay on the kang, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very feasible. After he succeeded this time, he could even go to the museums in those Western countries and get back all the cultural relics belonging to his ancestors.
After determining the goal, Xu Jianguo relaxed and soon fell asleep.
At six o'clock the next morning, Xu Jianguo opened his eyes, looked at Fu Niu who was clinging to the kang cabinet, and couldn't help laughing.
He got up, put on his clothes, gently picked up the little girl and put her back on the mattress, then went downstairs to the main room to prepare breakfast.
Today is the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, also known as the Little New Year. On this day, people will carry out a series of preparatory activities, such as sweeping the house, making rice cakes, offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, eating sugar melons, and other customs, in order to welcome the upcoming Spring Festival.
Today's breakfast is shrimp wontons. Xu Jianguo put some seaweed and dried shrimp in the soup base, filling two large bowls, and added a fried egg for each person.
After making breakfast, Xu Jianguo took out a large piece of beef brisket from the space, cleaned it, and put it into the electric pressure cooker. He added well water from the space, green onion, ginger, and cooking wine. After setting the time, he was about to go into the house to wake up Funniu. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he found the little girl already sitting on the kang with sleepy eyes.
Seeing Xu Jianguo come in, Funiu rubbed her eyes with her little hands, yawned and asked: "Haha, I'm hungry!"
"You are really a greedy cat. You are already hungry when I just finished cooking. Let's go wash up first and then have breakfast." Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Oh!" Funiu agreed, then stood up from the kang. Xu Jianguo dressed her, carried her to the main room to wash her face and brush her teeth, then solved the problem of detoxification, and then carried her back to the kang in the room.
After setting the kang, placing wontons and fried eggs on the table, the brother and sister began to eat with big mouthfuls.
After breakfast, Xu Jianguo cleaned up the dishes, took out some snacks and picture books, and let Funniu play on the kang while he began to clean the whole house.
First, he used a broom to sweep the floor and a broom to clean the dust and cobwebs on the floor, corners, beams and kang in the house. Then he filled a basin with hot water and wiped the doors, windows, tables, chairs, stove and cupboards with a rag. Finally, he turned the big iron pot on the stove upside down and carefully collected the ash at the bottom of the pot.
After the house was cleaned, it was already noon. Xu Jianguo took out the beef brisket that had been placed in the electric pressure cooker in the morning and cut it into large pieces. The soft and tender beef brisket was crystal red in color and filled with fragrance.
"Haha, are you making something delicious?" At this time, Funiu poked her little head out from the crack of the door in the inner room and asked.
"Yes, I'll make you braised beef noodles at noon."
"Okay, I like beef the most!" Funiu said happily.
Xu Jianguo curled his lips and thought to himself, "I don't believe you. Last time when we ate braised lamb, you said you liked lamb the most..."
Afraid that the fumes would bother Funiu, Xu Jianguo asked her to go into the house first, then started to heat oil in a pan, added rock sugar to stir-fry the sugar color, then put the beef into the pan and stir-fried it, adding various seasonings such as light soy sauce and dark soy sauce. Since the beef was already soft, it only needed simple seasoning.
Use a colander to remove the remaining onion and ginger in the pot, then use the original soup of the pressed beef to cook the noodles. After the noodles are cooked, take them out and cover the prepared braised beef as a topping on the noodles. Finally, blanch a few rapeseed and place them next to the bowl. Two bowls of steaming braised beef noodles are ready.
In the cold winter, it is really a pleasure to eat a bowl of steaming noodles. The brother and sister ate with great joy and sweated profusely.
After lunch, Xu Jianguo played with Funiu for a while, then coaxed her to take a nap. After the little girl fell asleep, he went to the yard and started cleaning.
He took out a hoe from the space and cleaned up the vines and roots left over from the previous vegetable planting in the vegetable garden. Then he turned the entire vegetable garden over again, and then tidied up the warehouse where firewood and coal were stored. All the firewood was neatly stacked by Xu Jianguo against the wall. Finally, he took a broom and swept the ground in the yard clean. All the debris was burned cleanly by him. Looking at Xu Jianguo's home yard at this time, it had become clean and tidy, and it looked brand new.
Looking at the time, it was already past three in the afternoon. Xu Jianguo entered the room and found that Funiu had woken up. She was holding the little yellow duck toy and muttering something.
Xu Jianguo said to Funiu, "Funiu, you and Xiaohei stay home and play. I'm going to give Uncle Mancang some things and will be back soon."
"Okay, haha, go ahead and come back soon!"
"Okay, I'll be back soon!" said Xu Jianguo.
He took out some snacks and a bottle of calcium milk. This was the first time the little girl had seen calcium milk. She usually drank Wangzai milk, and her big eyes immediately widened.
After inserting the straw, Funiu couldn't wait to take it, drank a sip happily, and laughed foolishly.
Xu Jianguo said hello to her, picked up the bamboo basket and left home.
He took out six couplets (one for the yard and one for the main house) and eighteen "Fu" characters from the space, divided them into three parts, locked the gate and walked towards Li Mancang's house.
"Okay then, go quickly. It will be dark soon and Funiu can't be alone at home!"
"Okay, then, uncle, I'll be leaving first. Brother Jinzi, I'm leaving!" Xu Jianguo said goodbye to the father and son and prepared to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned around and asked, "Uncle, I have a question. How did Grandpa Dashan celebrate the New Year in previous years?"
