"Hmm, why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast? Why don't you have some with me later?" Fang Nuo asked.
"I didn't think I'd have nothing to do at home anyway, so I came over early to see if I could do anything to help," said Aunt Dahua.
"I'll have to let him thank you later," Fang Nuo said with a smile.
"Indeed," Aunt Dahua also said with a smile.
After looking at Shen Gongqi's yard, he said: "His yard is pretty good. When your two yards are connected in the future, the yard will be big. You can dig out these open spaces to grow something edible, and you can live a good life." Very good”
"It's really not small, that's what I thought too. I've raised all the vegetable seedlings for her, and I'm just waiting to have time to plow the ground and plant them."
Even this year, we can only grow some vegetables to eat. Potatoes, corns, etc. can only be planted next year," Fang Nuo said.
"It's indeed a bit late to plant now. It's okay to plant some vegetables to eat. There is an extra Nan in the house, and the food is consumed quickly. Don't think you have planted too much," said Aunt Dahua.
"Hmm, auntie, I know. I will definitely plant them all by then. This year, we should cultivate the land first," Fang Nuo said.
"Although others eat a lot, no matter how talented they are, they can get full work points every day, and even more during the autumn harvest season," said Aunt Dahua.
The two of them chatted while picking up vegetables. Time passed quickly and their work was slow. In a short while, all the vegetables were picked out.
Fang Nuo thought about steaming the nest first, so he first fetched water to soak the vegetables for a while and wash them.
Then he went to her courtyard and brought her awake face.
Then I and Aunt Dahua started to make the steamed buns. After a while, they were all finished, and then they were placed in the pot and started to steam.
Then I washed all the vegetables, using water that Shen Gongqi brought back in the morning.
When he was building the house, he proposed to drill a well in the yard, but Fang Nuo thought it was better not to drill it for now, so he said he would drill a well after they got married.
Otherwise, it would be a blink of an eye if we just build a house and dig a water well.
I don’t know how to tell others that our family is rich.
So she thought it would be better to wait for a while, so that when she has money in hand, people will just think that you saved it during this time.
So now both yards are still used to carry water.
In the almost one month since Fang Nuo had a relationship with Shen Gongqi, he had to pick up the water at home.
Fang Nuo would get some water from the space for use from time to time, but would not use it for fear of Shen Gongqi's suspicion.
Even for watering the vegetable patch in the backyard, she puts the wastewater she usually uses in a large tank with a gap in the mouth on the edge of the ground. She pours the wastewater into it and scoops it out for watering the ground.
After the two washed the vegetables, Shen Gongqi walked in carrying the vegetables he bought from outside.
Seeing Aunt Dahua coming over, he first said to people: "Auntie is here, I will ask you to help cook today."
"No trouble, no trouble. I came to your house today to eat such a good meal for free. I should help you a little," said Aunt Dahua.
Shen Gongqi put down his backpack and shouted to Fang Nuo: "Xiao Nuo, come and see if these vegetables are enough. If not, I will go to the village to buy a chicken later and stew some potatoes in it. I can also make a dish." "
Fang Nuo wiped the water from his hands, walked over, and took out the things in the backpack.
Shen Gongqi bought a lot of things, including some radishes and a lot of bones, but there was not much meat left on them.
There is also a piece of pork belly and a pair of pig meat.
"That's almost it. That's enough. You take the pig out of the water and I'll teach you how to clean it. You take it to the village river to clean it," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay" Shen Gongqi took the pig out of the water and followed Fang Nuo to the stove.
Fang Nuo first asked her to hang the pig's guts on the pillars of the shed. She cut off the pig's heart and liver, put them aside for a while, and then simply washed them at home.
For the rest, he told Shen Gongqi how to clean it, and then asked her to go to the stove to pick out some ashes, and then asked him to go out and wash it.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Shen is quite diligent and not afraid of getting dirty. The main thing is that he listens to you," Aunt Dahua said after the others left.
"As my aunt said, maybe people think today is his moving party, so they don't dare to do it," Fang Nuo said.
"No, I am very good at judging people. He must be a hard-working person," said Aunt Dahua.
While the two were talking, they took out the steamed wowo from the pot, put it in a new pot to steam, and began to prepare other side dishes.
Today Fang Nuo is going to make a platter of braised pork with potatoes, braised pork offal, stir-fried pork liver, shredded cold pork heart, radish and pork ribs soup, stir-fried cabbage, and wild vegetables dipped in pickles.
Some of the eight dishes are larger, enough to feed more than twenty people if two tables are set.
They have washed all the vegetables, then peeled the potatoes, washed and cut the radishes into cubes and blanched them to remove the irritation.
Then cut the pig heart open and clean the blood inside, then put it in a pot and cook it. When cooking, add some ginger slices and wine to remove the fishy smell.
Cook until no blood comes out when you insert a chopstick into it, then take it out. After it is cold, tear it into shreds by hand, then add some shredded green onions and coriander for cold serving.
Slice the pork liver, then add some sweet potato starch, egg white, salt, and pepper powder, mix well and marinate for a while.
Then cut some dried chili segments and set aside for frying the pork liver later.
A pig's liver, cut into pieces, is quite a lot.
After a while, Shen Gongqi brought back the other washed pig offal, and all the nests in the pot were steamed.
Take out the nest, add some water to the pot, then put in the cleaned pig offal, add some ginger slices and wine and cook it to remove the smell.
The pig offal was boiled in the pot here, so she went to her yard, washed the pot, put the brine in the pot to dissolve, and then added some brine and sugar water.
When the water here is done, clean it, marinate it in marinade for half an hour, then soak it until just before eating, then take it out and slice it for serving.
What Shen Gongqi invited was lunch. It was only around nine o'clock in the morning, and there were still a few hours before work ended for lunch. It was enough to prepare these dishes.
After stewing the things, she asked Shen Gongqi to watch the pot and then feed Yaya the egg custard when she woke up.
Now Yaya only needs her by her side at night. During the day, she can be with anyone, but she is still more attached to Shen Gongqi.
If Fang Nuo hadn't told her that her mother and Uncle Shen were just dating and couldn't sleep together, otherwise she would have wanted to drag Shen Gongqi home and sleep with them as mother and daughter.
When Fang Nuo heard that she was awake, he went back to the house and put on her clothes and shoes before taking her out and giving her to Shen Gongqi to wash her face and feed her.
Fang Nuo went back to the Shen family's yard, burned the skin of the two-pound piece of meat that Shen Gongqi brought back today, cleaned it, cut it into small cubes, and set it aside.
Then, cut the freshly washed potatoes into pieces and soak them in water for later use.
After preparing all the side dishes, stew the ribs you brought back. After simmering for half an hour, add a piece of radish and simmer for another fifteen minutes.
