Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

In the blink of an eye, the first month of the year is over.

On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head and the sky is covered with dark clouds. Although the villagers are not as excited as they were the first time they saw the clouds, they are also very happy. Having relied on the land for generations, they naturally know that the previous snow alone has little effect on the fields.

In the middle of the morning, it started snowing. At first it was fine and dense snow particles, and then it turned into rain.

Previously, Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian had discussed with An An that they would wait until the snow was thicker before going out to play snowballs.

But when I saw that the white snow melted quickly after falling on the ground, I couldn't help feeling disappointed.

An An doesn’t care. After all, she is only a little over two years old now, and there will be plenty of opportunities for her to play snowball fights in the future!

Now that I'm familiar with Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian, I know that these two girls are gentle but tough, and they are very patient in accompanying me. In fact, they are both very good people.

I was prejudiced against them before, so I should be nicer to them in the future!

An An is very direct and kind to people, so give Koi a bonus!

At first, I was worried that the two of them couldn’t bear it too much, so I tried giving each of them 10%. When I saw that nothing was wasted, I was very happy.

Another 20% was added.

Well, just get used to it first, otherwise if these two people suddenly have a burst of luck, it may not be a good thing.

It rained all day, and the weather, which had begun to warm up, suddenly became cold and gloomy.

Aunt Zhao had originally planned to reduce the amount of firewood used to heat the kang, but she had to temporarily stop today.

There were no umbrellas at home, but there were two large bamboo hats. They were worried that the Zhou sisters would get caught in the rain and catch a cold if they went back to the house with the hats on. "You two are weak, so don't bother. Hu Zi is not at home anyway. If it's too crowded, I'll sleep in Hu Zi's room, and the four of you can sleep in the east room."

The two sisters quickly agreed. If he really got sick, wouldn't it cause trouble for others?

The five of them lit a brazier and roasted potatoes.

Zhou Qi suddenly said, "Actually, this kind of weather is perfect for eating hotpot."

"What?" Aunt Zhao didn't quite understand. "What's a pot?"

"It's a copper pot for cooking meat," Zhou Qi explained with a chuckle, "It's a special large copper pot. We add charcoal and use fish broth or bone broth as the base. We cut the beef and mutton into thin slices. If you want fish, you can also slice it into thin slices.

"When the soup is boiling, put the meat slices in and boil them for a while before eating. It is very delicious.

"You can also cook some vegetables, fresh shrimp, vermicelli and so on in the pot.

“At the end, cooking some noodles in the broth is also extremely delicious.”

Aunt Zhao swallowed her saliva and said, "Now that you mention it, I'm tempted. It sounds easy, but I can't get the blame!"

An An slurped her saliva, she was so greedy after hearing what she said, but if she couldn’t have hotpot, she could still have barbecue. Oh, no, we don’t have any meat at home right now!

But, everything can be grilled!

She turned around and asked Qin Ying, "Mom, do we have tofu skin?"

"Yes," Qin Ying nodded, "Didn't I just make a few yesterday?"

An An clapped her hands excitedly: "Then let's roast it and eat it!"

"How do I bake this?" Aunt Zhao was full of questions.

Zhou Mian suddenly said, "If you have a wire mesh at home, you can use it to grill!"

Aunt Zhao looked regretful: "No!"

"That's not a problem!" An An ran over and fetched a handful of wooden sticks. "My uncle gave me some to make candied haws."

Aunt Zhao immediately asked, "Where does our family get sugar? How can we make candied haws without sugar?"

"That's why I haven't made it yet!" An An spread his hands, "But my uncle said that when he comes back from this business trip, he will definitely find a way to buy some candy and make candied haws for me!"

Qin Ying felt a little sad because her daughter had never seen candied haws before!

Without further ado, An An quickly said, "We can put mushrooms, potato slices, and tofu skin cabbage rolls on it and bake them!"

Qin Ying's eyes lit up, and she was the first to support him: "An An is so smart! I think we can give it a try! We still have a lot of five-spice seasoning at home. Sprinkle some on it after it's baked. It will definitely taste good!"

The Zhou sisters quickly responded.

Aunt Zhao then asked, "What are you baking? If there's nothing in the house, I'll get it from outside."

Qin Ying thought for a moment and said, "Anything that's roasted and edible should be fine, right?"

The five of them all started to move. An An watched the fire, Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian went to cut vegetables and pick mushrooms, Qin Ying went to cut potatoes, and Aunt Zhao went out with a bamboo hat on her head and brought back two radishes. "Eating too much grilled food will definitely give you a sore throat. Let's make some radish soup."

In a short while, all the preparations were done, and the five people sat around the brazier, each holding two skewers in their hands, and officially started barbecuing.

An An licked his lips and smacked his lips. "It would be nice if there was some meat."

Qin Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "We do have some bacon at home, but it won't taste good when roasted, right?"

The bacon is already dry enough. Will it be chewable if it is roasted again?

"It doesn't matter!" An An shook his head. "When we have enough water here in the future, we can catch fish and grill them; we can raise pigs, slaughter them and grill pork; we can raise sheep and grill mutton... Wow, when I think about it this way, we can eat so many delicious foods in the future!"

Everyone laughed.

Aunt Zhao commented: "That's the way to think! Our lives will be as prosperous as ever from now on!"

As she was talking, Qin Ying had finished grilling a bunch of vegetable rolls. She took them and smelled them. She thought they were not quite tasty enough, so she sprinkled some five-spice powder on them. It was almost done, so she took the rolls off and put them on a plate. She picked them up with chopsticks and fed one to everyone. Everyone said they were delicious.

So the empty wooden skewers were put back on the vegetables and grilling continued.

Soon after, the things in everyone else's hands were also baked. Like Qin Ying, they took them off the wooden sticks, put them on plates, sprinkled them with five-spice powder, and shared them among everyone.

Before they knew it, all the dishes they had prepared were finished. An An touched her bulging belly and sighed contentedly, "I'm so full!"

Aunt Zhao stood up and scooped her a small bowl of carrot soup, then told her to sit at the big table. "Be careful, it's hot. Drink slowly."

An An said like a little adult: "I know, Grandma, go and eat!"

Aunt Zhao couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that even without meat, I could still taste the meat!"

Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian were also very excited. It was the first time for them to eat like this. It was not only delicious but also very interesting. They will definitely share it with their eldest brother next time!

Qin Ying nodded and smiled, "It's pretty good, but the smoke is a bit strong. It's okay for grilling vegetables, but I was thinking, if you grill meat, wouldn't the oil dripping down make the smoke even stronger?"

"What are you afraid of?" Aunt Zhao said unconcernedly, "Our yard is so spacious, at worst we can just grill it in the yard!"

Zhou Mian asked quietly, "Can we bake more? I want to give some to my eldest brother and let him taste it."

Aunt Zhao said cheerfully, "Roast! What's the big deal? We have plenty of fresh vegetables at home, and we even have plenty of potatoes!"
