The Zhou family’s new home is actually very big, but in Zhou Mingshu’s eyes it is not big enough.

Just raise some livestock and grow some vegetables and the space will be fully occupied.

Their grandchildren are getting older, and the family needs to make a living, so they can't keep squeezing into these few rooms, so expanding the house and moving the vegetable garden out is the best option.

After dinner, Zhou Mingshu and his group continued to learn new knowledge, while the adults in the family were busy cleaning.

And under the corridor of the main hall was a pile of prepared corn seeds.

We will start farming in the fields from tomorrow, so Zhou Mingshu will talk about a lot of knowledge points today.

"I've covered a lot today, so you should absorb it slowly. You may not have time to attend classes in the next few days. If you forget anything, just ask me directly."

After the class ended, Zhou Mingshu let out a long sigh.

Then prepare to wash up.

At this time, Boss Zhou was putting the piece of pork into the well to cool it down.

"Uncle, do you want to eat barbecue? Shall we make it tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid we won't have time tomorrow. We have to go to the fields to farm. You should cook some dishes that save time. When you come back from the fields, you'll be so tired that you won't want to move at all."

Boss Zhou laughed out loud.

"Okay, if you're tired tomorrow I won't do it. If you're not tired I'll make you something delicious."

After Zhou Mingshu fetched some water, he went back into the house to take a shower.

Zhou Mingshu had a very full meal today, so he burped and lay down on the bed to rest.

I conjured up a few red cherry tomatoes to relieve the greasiness.

These cherry tomatoes are not bad. After eating a few bites, she wanted to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes. She had to find a way to go to the county and use this as an excuse to prepare more seeds.

It was almost dark when Old Mrs. Zhou and Old Man Zhou returned home.

The mother and son came back with smiles on their faces, and the land purchase was done.

There are a total of more than five and a half acres of wasteland to the east of Lao Zhou's house, and the village chief sold it directly at five acres.

Starting from tomorrow, these lands will belong to their Zhou family.

The land contract for the village chief Wang Fugui has already been written. He just needs to ask the head of the village to stamp it with the official seal when he has time. Then all the procedures will be completed.

Early the next morning, after Zhou Mingshu and his family had breakfast, they took the donkey to the fields.

The dark ground was in a mess after being washed by the heavy rain.

But no one cared about these and started digging holes and sowing seeds with hoes.

An adult was followed by two children.

The adult used a hoe to dig the hole in front, one child used it to throw seeds, and the other child used to level the hole.

There were five hoes in total, and there were not enough hoes for the children to share, so the older children had to do two jobs, sowing seeds and leveling the pit at the same time.

Zhou Mingshu followed behind Zhou Mingqi and flattened the hole with the seeds with his feet.

She thought this job was the easiest.

It didn't require any effort or bending, so she did it several times.

Zhou Minghua also followed Pingkeng, but her speed was slower.

It's already good enough that she can stay with everyone. At least there's no need to worry about her being taken away by others while squatting on the ground.

Feng was throwing the seeds, and originally wanted her to level the pit, but the tip of the belly blocked her view, so she had to switch with Zhou Mingjie.

Near noon, Old Mrs. Zhou took Zhou Minghua and called Feng, Zhou Mingqi and Zhou Mingshu to go home first.

"Come on, let's go home and cook first, and they can continue to plant in the fields for a while."

Zhou Mingqi picked up the empty kettle and placed it on the donkey cart so that they would not forget it when they returned later.

The winter melons at home were ripe, and Old Mrs. Zhou picked one back.

I plan to make winter melon flour paste and put some meat slices in it. It will taste good when eaten with steamed bun.

"Grandma, let me cook another dish. We are all so tired from working in the fields. We need to eat more."

"Then do it. You don't look tired at all."

Old Mrs. Zhou was peeling winter melon and laughing at her granddaughter.

"Hehe, no matter how tired you are, you are not as tired as uncle and dad. They never stop digging holes."

After Zhou Mingshu washed his hands and face, he rubbed his black feet.

Her feet were covered in mud, and after she washed them, the water turned muddy.

She scooped a bucket of water and rinsed it before starting to prepare the meal.

Zhou Mingshu selected a piece of lean meat from the pork, cut it into slices, and then hit it back and forth with the blade of the knife.

"Sanya, why are you hitting the meat with a knife?"

Zhou Mingqi was picking up the winter melon peels on the ground.

"Haha, this meat slice will be more tender if you pat it."

Zhou Mingshu smiled. This practice of taking a photo was indeed uncommon.

These pounded meat slices need to be soaked in cold water to soak out all the blood.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhou Mingshu produced a bowl of potato starch to soak the meat slices, which he would use to wrap them later.

Then she went on to prepare the other small ingredients.

Old Mrs. Zhou’s winter melon porridge has been put into the pot. It is so full that there is no room to steam the steamed buns. She has to wait until the winter melon softens and releases water before putting them in.

Zhou Mingshu started cooking in another pot.

The dish she is going to make today is sweet and sour pork, which is both troublesome and simple. It has to be fried first and then stir-fried.

Zhou Mingqi helped her heat the pan. She put the meat slices coated with starch into the pan one by one, took them out after they were slightly colored, and fried them again until they were all golden and crispy.

Suddenly, Zhou Mingshu thought of something.

There is so much oil and some starch left in the pot. She can take this opportunity to fry some mushrooms!

Fried mushrooms are also very fragrant.

Just do it.

She took some mushrooms, coated them with starch, put them in the pan and started frying them. Even if there were not enough meat slices, there were still plenty of mushrooms.

After a while, when the mushrooms were fried, she scooped out the hot oil, made a light sweet and sour sauce, then poured the meat slices and mushrooms in and stir-fried them, and finally added the prepared shredded green onions and ginger, and a dish of sweet and sour pork...the mushrooms were ready.

very nice~

It's so fragrant, it smells sweet and sour!

"It's done, come and have a taste." Zhou Mingshu put the sweet and sour pork on the table and invited everyone to eat.

Zhou Mingqi couldn't hold back when she was making the sweet and sour sauce.

He hurriedly ran out from the stove, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

! ! ...This is so delicious, it even shocked her more than the braised pork.

The sweet and sour aroma hit her taste buds directly, as if her soul had left her body.

This dish has undoubtedly become her favorite, and braised pork and other dishes have to take a back seat!

Zhou Minghua was also chewing, "Third sister, this dish is so delicious, can Si Ya have another piece?"

"Of course, Third Sister has made a lot, let's eat."

Mrs. Feng and Old Mrs. Zhou also came over.

This thing looks very similar to the burnt leaves they fry during Chinese New Year.

Who knew that after eating it, the taste would be completely different. It is much more delicious than burnt leaves.

"Grandma, is it delicious?"

“Delicious, delicious. So delicious.”

Both Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Feng praised the meal highly. They had never eaten such delicious food before.

The dishes San Ya cooks are even better than the food in the restaurants in town.

If this continues, the Zhou family can open a restaurant.
