Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

While eating the sweet potato that Su He handed to her, Old Lady Su praised, "This roasted sweet potato is really good. It has a soft and sticky texture, and it's just right for my teeth."

Old Mrs. Su has bad teeth, so she usually prefers meat to be stewed until it is soft. The roasted sweet potatoes are fragrant and soft, just right for her.

Moreover, eating one in this weather will make you feel warm all over and very comfortable.

"That's right, no wonder Ah Chi stared at me for so long just now, I feel really good after eating this."

Xie also responded while eating.

"There's no sun now. Otherwise, if we dry it in the sun for a day and then bake it, it will be more fragrant and softer."

These sun-dried sweet potatoes taste better, but it’s a pity that it’s very cold now. Not to mention the sun, it’s cold and a little damp everywhere.

Now it is a great thing to be able to roast fire and eat roasted sweet potatoes in the house.

As soon as they finished talking, they heard the sound of the courtyard gate opening and closing.

When I looked up, I saw Su Chi had returned after delivering the things.

"Do they have a fire?"

Su He handed a sweet potato to Su Chi and asked softly.

If there was no fire in the room, it would be very cold. Su He was afraid that they would be reluctant to leave and would not be able to concentrate on reading if it was too cold.

Su Chi nodded to Su He while peeling sweet potatoes.

"Yes, the room is warm. Aunt also said that we can just let my uncle have dinner there at night, so we don't have to worry."

Xie smiled when she heard it, "Arong is really polite."

It’s not a big deal. The Su family at least still has sweet potato flour, and there are still a lot of dried vegetables that they dried before, so they are not short of food.

However, the Lu family did not stockpile much stuff, and they often invited Su Zhiyan to stay for meals. Xie was also worried that there would be nothing left to eat at home by the New Year.

"Mother, it's okay. When the bean sprouts are ready in a few days, I'll send some to them and get some dried vegetables."

Su He always remembers every bit of kindness others show her. When she first came here, the Su family couldn't even get enough to eat, and it was Yun Rong who still thought of her and made steamed eggs for her.

I have helped the Su family a lot before, so it’s only right that we help each other.

As soon as Su He finished speaking, everyone in the room nodded in agreement, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, the Lu family wasn't very wealthy at the beginning, but they still helped them from time to time.

Besides, the Su family is not short of these things now. They can’t just watch them suffer from lack of food and drink in this winter.

This village is different from the town. Even if you have money, it is hard to buy food. You have to rely on the food you stored before.

"Okay, I'll go pick up some dried vegetables later."

Mrs. Xie was smiling. She and Yunrong were good friends to begin with, so she naturally couldn't bear to see Yunrong's family go hungry.

For several days, Su He carefully tended the bean sprouts in the clay pot. Watching the bean sprouts in the pot sprouting little by little, Su He smiled from ear to ear.

On the fifth day, Su He took a large basket from the kitchen and walked towards the tightly covered clay basin in the corner of the room.

He gently put down the basket in his hand, opened the top lid with great anticipation, and then opened the cotton cloth.

Seeing plump bean sprouts growing neatly in front of him, Su He reached out, grabbed a small handful, shook it gently, and slowly pulled them up.

I saw that the bean sprouts were about three inches long, with dense roots. Each root looked like crystal clear silver threads in my hand, and it looked very beautiful with its white and plump appearance.

Su He put it in the basket, picked up one and broke it gently. She saw that the bean sprout was very crisp and tender. It broke into two sections with a slight break. She put it to her nose and smelled it, and she could smell a sweet scent.

It feels like being in the fields in the early morning, so fresh.

Su He lifted up all the cotton cloth and saw that the bean sprouts in the clay pot were growing well, filling the entire pot.

Very good, it was done successfully in one go.

Su He quickly grabbed a handful and thought it should be enough for one meal, so he covered the rest in the clay pot again.

The sprouted bean sprouts must not be exposed to light. If they are exposed to light, they will turn green quickly and will then be inedible.

I'll cook these later and see how they taste. If ok, I'll make more. The two bags of soybeans at home will be enough to last for a long time.

Now that winter has arrived, there is limited food to eat at home, so I don’t plan to cook too many dishes.

Su He took a few eggs from the house, soaked a handful of dried bamboo shoots in water, and cut a piece of bacon.

Take out two dried chilies and cut them into small pieces. Chop the garlic into minced garlic and set aside.

Su He beat all the eggs into a bowl, added warm water and stirred constantly. Finally, when she thought it was almost done, she skimmed off the bubbles on top and put the eggs into the pot to make steamed eggs.

While making the steamed eggs, clean the bean sprouts and soaked bamboo shoots.

The dried bamboo shoots swell up quite well after being soaked in water, and can be stir-fried into a large bowl.

Su He squeezed out the moisture from the dried bamboo shoots and cut them into small pieces.

Put the bacon into the pot, add water and boil it for a while, then take it out, wash it and cut it into thin slices.

After finishing all this, the steamed egg in the pot was almost cooked. Su He found a clean cloth, carefully took out the steamed egg, prepared the sauce, added a few drops of sesame oil, and poured it on the steamed egg. A fragrant steamed egg was ready.

This steamed egg is easy to make and tastes good, fragrant and soft. The elderly and children at home all like to eat it, and Su He often makes it for them.

Then wash the pot clean, add dried chilies into the hot oil, sauté until fragrant, then add minced garlic and bacon, stir-fry quickly for a few times, and the bacon will start to sizzle with oil.

A unique aroma has begun to waft out. Pour the freshly cut bamboo shoots into the pan and stir-fry.

Then scoop some water into the pot, cover it with a lid and simmer for a while.

Seeing that the fire was getting smaller, Su He stood up and went under the eaves to pick up another bundle of firewood. These firewoods were picked up by Su Bai and Su Chi in the back mountain when the weather was good before.

They are neatly stacked under the eaves, full enough to last at least until the beginning of spring.

"Sister, what did you make today? It smells so good."

Su Chi couldn't sit still in the house. When he smelled the fragrance from the kitchen, he felt itchy. So he ran over and stared at the pot with a eager look on his face and asked questions.

Su He threw some firewood into the stove and replied with a smile: "This is bacon fried with bamboo shoots."

This bacon was specially bought by Su He before and smoked. No one went to the town at this time, and there was not much meat to eat at home, so it was just the right time to eat it.

When the New Year pig is slaughtered during the Spring Festival, Su He plans to make some more.

It looked like it was almost done, so Su He opened the lid, sprinkled in the seasoning, quickly stir-fried it evenly, and served it.

Su Chi was helping to watch the fire, his eyes fixed on the bowl of fried bacon and bamboo shoots, and he couldn't take his eyes away.

Su He found it a little funny, reached out to take a small bowl, put a piece of food with chopsticks in the bowl, and passed it to Su Chi.
