The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

The red spicy soup kept bubbling, the vegetables inside kept rolling, and the white hot steam separated Qi Rui from the two of them.

"Second brother, I'm full." Qi Jian felt a little bloated, so he stood up and walked around the room.

"Second cousin, I'm full too." Ning An stood up excitedly, looked at Qi Jian and continued, "Third cousin, let's go build a snowman. If it's any later, I'll have to go back to the palace."

"Okay, let's go."

After they had eaten, the two of them ran away, and the house, which had been bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet again.

Rufeng, who was standing next to him, tilted his head and looked at his master's cold figure, feeling inexplicably distressed.

If Miss Mingshu were here, the master would definitely have a lot of smiles on his face.

"Rufeng, close the door and sit down with me to eat some more."

After receiving instructions, Rufeng locked the cold wind and heavy snow outside the house, then took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

"Although this is the base material given by Mingshu, it doesn't taste like Lianglin Village no matter how you eat it. Try it and see why."

The meat and vegetables taste slightly spicy and numb, and once you swallow them you'll feel your internal organs warming up.

Rufeng felt that it was delicious, but compared with the previous ones, it was indeed a little lacking.

However, the vegetables and base ingredients are the same, it is very likely that the people are different.

But saying this would only add to the master's sorrow.

“Master, it may be because of the iron pot, or it may be because the water is different. Compared with the pot cooked by Miss Mingshu, it is indeed a little less tasty.”

Even so, it was much more delicious than other dishes.

Rufeng ate with gusto, feeling that the food was even more delicious than the one his mother prepared for him.

"The two places are so far apart, one drinks water from the Yellow River, the other drinks water from the Yangtze River, so the water quality is indeed different."

Qi Rui sighed softly and ate the meat by himself.

"If you have nothing to do during this period, spend more time with your mom and dad. We'll leave early after the New Year."

"Yeah, okay." The tone was like a rattle.

He hasn't been home for several years. When he first came back, he was the most popular person in the family. But after staying here for these two months, his mother and father have become displeased with him.

It would be better to follow the master back to Chengzhou earlier, where you can be more comfortable without being disliked by others.

"Looking at you like this, someone who doesn't know would think you have a lover in Chengzhou."

Seeing that the brat Rufeng had a smile on his face, Qi Rui couldn't help but tease him.

"Hehe, I still feel more comfortable staying in Lianglin Village. Here I can hardly breathe all day long."

Who said no!

Qi Rui will have to go to the palace to meet the emperor in a few days. They will talk about everything from state affairs to family affairs and world affairs. He also has his own plans in mind and is afraid that he will be exposed if he makes a mistake.

But now it's okay. With Ning An's words, he feels at ease.

If the emperor wanted to grant them a marriage, Ning An would be the first one to object.

After all, the Qi family is married to the royal family, so it doesn't matter whether it is the second or third son.

His painstaking guidance over the past few months will not be in vain. In this way, everyone will think that he has been wronged, and maybe even give him some compensation.

He and Mingshu will also face less resistance.

"Haha, okay, then we should go back early. Remember to keep your mouth shut about what happened over there and don't let it slip out in advance and ruin things."

"Master, rest assured. I have made arrangements for those who know the inside story. I won't let them drink more than one glass of wine."

Qi Rui smiled and ate in a disjointed manner. However, Rufeng on the opposite side was eating non-stop like a puppy who had not eaten for several days.

The soup in the pot would dry up and then be added back, and the fire was not turned off until dark.

"I won't go to the main hall to eat today. You can go and settle down after you pass the message. You don't have to watch over me."

Rufeng took the pot and left. Except for the crackling sound of the charcoal fire in the brazier, the room returned to silence.

-

Due to continuous snowfall, the roads were difficult to travel and the mines were difficult to dig, so the mine finally had a long holiday.

The people in Old Zhou’s family packed up their things and returned to Lianglin Village in big and small cars.

"Oh, I thought we wouldn't have a holiday for another half a month, but thanks to this snow, we can rest early."

"That's right. I don't know when the two children will have their holiday. When you have time, ask your eldest brother to go to the county town to take a look."

"Okay, it's a good opportunity to buy some nice fabrics and buy new clothes and shoes for the family."

After resting for a few days, I have almost finished packing up the things at home.

The sisters-in-law in the family were also not idle. Whenever they had time, they would sit around the brazier sewing shoe soles and preparing food and clothing for the family.

As soon as the sky cleared up, the village chief Wang Fugui came to visit with a welding cigarette in his mouth.

She said she wanted to ask her family when they were going to go fishing in the river.

Winter came early this year, and everyone in the village was eagerly waiting to eat fish, and they urged him to do it every day.

As soon as the sky cleared up, he hurried over to ask.

"Then let's get ready. There are a lot of young men in the village anyway, so we can just call a few of them to help."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou said yes, Wang Fugui happily went to get someone.

Zhou Lao Da and his three brothers and a few other boys quickly took out their fishing nets and prepared.

"Girls, clean a few more tanks at home, and then go to the river to fetch a few more buckets of water. We can catch more fish this year."

Zhou Mingqi and Zhou Mingshu covered their hands and breathed, then said okay with a smile.

"Come on, let's get to work."

The water tanks were ready-made, they just had to flush them with water, then roll them into the woodshed and pour the water into them.

Old Mrs. Zhou and her daughter-in-law went over with buckets of water, waiting for the fish to be pulled up.

The first net is kept for the family, and the rest is distributed to other people in the village.

After working all day, my shoes and socks were soaked. The five large tanks were already filled with fish, at least seven or eight hundred of them.

Keep some for relatives, and make the rest into cured fish, which can be eaten until March or April next year.

Every household in the village, whether rich or poor, had saved enough fish for the New Year, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Several women who love to eat even said they wanted to learn how to make cured fish with them.

With fish at home, everyone has something to do.

Early the next morning, Zhou Lao Da called Zhou Lao Er, and the two brothers went straight to the slaughterhouse and brought back two trucks of meat and ribs, intending to cure them together.

There are several kinds of wax materials prepared, one pot next to another, looking very tempting in red.

The men killed the fish and the women chopped the meat.

There are many people in the Zhou family. Zhou Mingjie and Zhou Mingyuan are back again. Under the leadership of their eldest brother-in-law Shen Yang, they are very capable.

The wooden frame had already been set up, and the meat and ribs wrapped in bacon were already being smoked in the house.

They love to eat bacon with a smoky flavor, which is made with peeled orange and grapefruit peels and sprinkled with rice and wheat grains, making the smoked bacon more fragrant.

The women who came to learn how to make cured meat found the process easy to learn, but they were worried that they would not be able to control the cured meat ingredients well, so they asked Zhou Mingshu to help them prepare it.

This way they can feel at ease.
