The next morning, Tang Yiyi slept until she woke up naturally. When she woke up, Xu Yan was preparing fish in the yard.
"You do so much?"
Tang Yiyi looked at the two large basins of chicken, duck, fish, a few rabbits, and quite a bit of pork belly. This was too much.
"Well, make more for the New Year. When our mother comes, give her some back. There's not a cent left."
He also planned to pickle some sauerkraut, which can be eaten for a long time and can be used to stew anything.
"Okay then, I've seen a lot." Tang Yiyi sat aside and watched him do it.
"Go and eat, there's rice in the pot." Xu Yan said with his head tilted when he saw her sitting next to him. Tang Yiyi said she was not hungry and wanted to wait for a while. Xu Yan didn't say anything and lowered his head to continue working.
Tang Yiyi looked at his profile. His features were sharp and angular, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and only one eye could be seen from the side. He was looking at the things in his hands seriously and washing them carefully. There was no trace of impatience on his handsome face.
Looking at the hands again, they are very slender and beautiful. Due to years of work, the hands are a little rough, but still very beautiful, just very red.
"You didn't use hot water?"
Tang Yiyi asked, looking at his red hands. He reached out and touched the water. It was icy cold and his bones ached.
"It's useless. It's not cold. Don't touch it." Xu Yan wanted to stop him but it was too late.
"It's freezing." Tang Yiyi frowned unhappily, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Xu Yan knew that she was going to boil water, so he didn't say anything. He was afraid that the young wife would get angry with him when she got back, so he looked at Bing Leng and laughed out loud.
Don't mention that my wife should be concerned, the water seems to be a little cold to my hands.
Tang Yiyi boiled a large pot of hot water. After Xu Yan finished washing for the first time, he poured half a basin of cold water and half a basin of hot water, and looked at Tang Yiyi with a smile. Tang Yiyi glanced at him unhappily.
"If you do this again next time, don't expect me to pay attention to you."
You don’t know how to take care of yourself at all!
"Okay, I get it. There won't be a next time." Xu Yan said softly without stopping his hands.
Xu Yan made taro porridge and steamed corn bread for breakfast. Tang Yiyi drank a bowl of taro porridge and ate several pieces of taro.
"This taro is so sweet, even the porridge is sweet, so delicious."
"This is the taro we planted in the village this year. Every family has received a share, and there are still quite a few left. I'll steam some for you to enjoy later."
The taro production was good this year. In addition to the amount submitted, each family received 20 to 30 kilograms.
One person worked while the other ate, and time passed quickly. Xu Yan washed the chicken, duck, fish, meat, etc. and put them aside. He got out a vat from somewhere, put it in the kitchen, and started marinating.
"How much salt should I put in?" Tang Yiyi had never pickled anything before and didn't know how much to put in, so she asked Xu Yan.
Xu Yan had seen Liu Xiaofeng pickle vegetables before, and it was his first time, but he still knew a little bit about it.
"First, pour salt on the bottom of the jar until it's covered. Then pour a handful into the chicken's stomach, and I'll rub it in."
Tang nodded, poured salt into the bottom of the jar first, and then poured salt into the chicken's stomach. Xu Yan began to rub it, and then placed the chickens one by one neatly in the jar. After all the chickens were salted, the jar was full.
Xu Yan brought a big stone and put it on top, then found a piece of plastic sheet to cover it.
"Just wait a few days for it to marinate, then take it out and dry it in the sun."
Tang Yiyi nodded: "Well, then forget it, but are you going up the mountain?"
"Well, I went to see what was in the trap. Those two rabbits were in there. I took them back and pickled them together."
"By the way, has that wild boar grown up enough to be killed?"
Tang Yiyi suddenly thought, so much time has passed, there should be enough food, right?
Apart from anything else, the wild boar meat is indeed delicious.
"I don't know. I'll go check on it later. The pig eats a lot every day. It should be enough." Xu Yan had seen the pig a month ago. It had grown quite big, weighing more than 100 kilograms.
Everyone wanted to eat pork during the Chinese New Year, so any inedible food at home was sent to the dog to eat. Every family gave so much wheat bran that it would be strange if it couldn't be raised.
"Well, they must be killed before the New Year. If they don't want the intestines or anything, you should take them back and we can eat braised large intestines."
Xu Yan nodded: "Okay, I'll just tell Xu Er later."
The old hens bought yesterday were kept in the chicken coop. Xu Yan mixed some wheat bran into the food and fed it to them. They clucked after eating.
"What is it doing? Is it going to lay eggs?"
"It's about the same. It lays eggs in winter, but less." Xu Yan said, looking at the old hen. When he bought it yesterday, the owner told him that he could feel the eggs.
"Oh, no wonder it's clucking."
"Is the meat of this old hen not tasty? It's very tough." Tang Yiyi looked at the old hen and found it very old. The color of its feathers did not look like that of a chick.
"Well, these are chickens that are three years old or older. I'll make you some soup later. The breasts are the meat, not the thighs. You can eat whatever you want, but it's better to cook it hot."
This is a good feeling. If you don’t want to eat it, don’t eat it.
But if you drink more soup, won’t you produce more milk?
Tang Yiyi found out the answer a week later.
This week, Xu Yan killed a chicken and made soup for her. It was really delicious. Tang Yiyi drank a bowl of it every day at noon for a week.
That night, Tang Yiyi felt a little damp in her chest and was very uncomfortable.
I looked down and realized that my chest was wet.
Forehead?
Is there milk now?
So early?
Damn, there are still about 20 days until the due date, and I'm already producing milk now? How much milk will be wasted?
Is this chicken soup so good? I have milk before giving birth?
Oh my god, what a waste!
I thought I'd quickly go to my space and look for a breast pad, but there wasn't one. Without it, all my clothes would be soaked.
This soup is too watery to drink.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yan saw a blush on her face, but her brows were furrowed, and asked worriedly.
"fine."
How could she explain this? It was so embarrassing.
My face gets hot just thinking about it.
"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?" Xu Yan reached out and touched her face. Noticing that her clothes were damp on the chest, he said with concern, "Why don't you change your clothes if they're damp? Change them quickly and I'll get you some clothes."
Xu Yan went to get clothes for Tang Yiyi to change. Tang Yiyi said embarrassedly, "Get me a bra."
The sound was very small, but Xu Yan still heard it.
He didn't know what was wrong with his wife today and why she was so shy.
When he took it over, he saw that his wife had not taken off her clothes yet. He realized something was wrong and asked patiently, "Wife, what's wrong with you? Tell me where you feel uncomfortable."
I haven't seen my wife like this for a long time, and I don't know what happened.
"I, I, I..." Tang Yiyi pointed to the wet clothes on his chest. Xu Yan looked in the direction of his hand and saw that both sides were wet.
Buzz!
"This is..." Xu Yan's face turned red.
