Jingrong's sheep are quite large, but they are not the kind of meat sheep, so adding the two ends together is about one hundred and forty pounds. Wan Dayun received 15 cents per catty, and gave Jingrong 22 taels of silver and 100 copper coins. After he went back, he had to clean up, and he would have to sell it for twenty-eight to thirty-five cents a pound, because after removing the sheepskin and internal organs, and then removing the blood and water, he had to sell it for about thirty cents to make a profit.
The price of mutton in the market has been fluctuating between twenty-eight and thirty-five cents. The more delicious parts are more expensive, such as lamb shanks and lamb chops, and the parts with ordinary taste are cheaper. Sheep offal is also sold, and it is the cheapest.
And speaking of this sheep offal, Luo Fei suddenly remembered one day that the haggis he ate when he traveled to the northwest was also very delicious. It was a famous local delicacy, but I didn't see it here.
No one sells haggis here!
Lamb belly, lamb intestines, lamb heart, lamb liver, lamb lungs... Clean them up, cook them and cut them up, then add the lamb soup made from lamb bones, add some chopped green onion and parsley, and then put some minced garlic...
Tsk tsk tsk, why didn't you think about it before!
The mutton kebabs are not easy to handle once they are cold. They have to be grilled and the meat must be fried. But this is so cool! As long as there is a stove, goat soup is boiled on the stove. As for the haggis, it can be cooked and cut in advance and placed in a place with a suitable temperature.
Hi! Roffe's heart was alive again.
Luo Fei decided to talk to Wan Dayun about this idea when Wan Dayun came to collect sheep again. Anyway, Wan Dayun sells the internal organs of the sheep at the price of cabbage, so he can't make a lot of money at all, and it is extremely troublesome to clean up that thing. Then instead of this, it is better to try selling haggis!
It doesn't matter if they make money or not, they can make money there anyway. Now the main thing is to help Wan Dayun as much as possible. As the saying goes, icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow. Wan Dayun is the most difficult time, so they should be the ones who give charcoal in the snow. At that time, when Xi Yanqing and him needed help the most, Li Siyuan and Shi Shi took action, and this time they once again continued to spread such a beautiful spirit, isn't it good
There will always be some unsatisfactory things in one's life, but everyone can get through the difficulties by helping them, right
Luo Fei also wanted to accumulate blessings for the little tiger. This sounded a bit familiar, maybe it was infected by Li Siyuan.
"Brother Qing, why don't we plant more onions and garlic this year?" Luo Fei said when he brought some water out for Xi Yanqing's group to drink, "We planted a little less last year. The dried leaves of that thing, The place to eat is greatly reduced, and there are a lot of food here that will use these two." In addition to removing the fishy smell, it can also sterilize and so on, Luo Fei thinks it is very good.
"Okay, for such a big place, we will have a little variety this year." Xi Yanqing agreed with Luo Yong and Jing Rong's proposal and merged the vegetable garden behind the new house. It's not that he can plant whatever he wants, but it is convenient for him to guide after getting through. Otherwise, Jing Rong wouldn't be able to grow vegetables at all, and Luo Yong was working hard, but he didn't quite know what vegetables to plant at what time. Now that they've gotten through, Xi Yanqing will do whatever they want, and the two of them will follow along, and even the number of pieces of land is as much as their share. Just like copy paste. Anyway, it's pretty good. The fences for the compartments are saved, and the boards that are pulled out can still be used for a chicken coop and a sheep coop.
"Fortunately, I left a lot of vegetable seeds last year." Luo Fei took the bowl. "Then you can continue to work. Today at noon, Sanbao said that she will eat hand-made noodles. She kneads the noodles. I will go and see if I can help. What are you busy."
"Go, be careful." After Xi Yanqing finished speaking, he kept watching Luo Fei walk out of the vegetable garden safely before continuing his work. He was bringing Luo Yong, Luo Ji, and Han Yang to order rice seeds together. His father-in-law said that this year, the Luo family's paddy fields will also be dry-fed and sparsely planted, and the dry fields will also need corn and soybeans, so he and Luo Yong are currently cleaning up the Luo's backyard. There was a piece of land where they were going to grow potatoes and they brought it to raise seedlings.
Management during seedlings is very important, so Xi Yanqing takes every step very seriously.
Since there was no seedling tray, Xi Yanqing found thin hemp ropes, cut them into equal lengths, then pulled twenty horizontally and twenty vertically, and wrapped the ends with wooden sticks to fix them on the ground. This way, the grids are used to get rice seeds in the grids, so that the nutrients absorbed by the rice seeds are balanced, and rice seeds are saved, and it is easy to plant them in the field in the future.
In the past, the people who planted rice here used to raise the rice seeds directly into the fields, and what kind of growth came out. This is a waste of seeds, and after the density is high, it takes much effort to weed, and the rice seedlings absorb nutrients. unbalanced.
"It's really delicate, so it's no wonder that it's going to be good." Han Yang looked at Xi Yanqing next to him, "How did you come up with this method?" He heard that Xi Yanqing wanted to raise rice today. Miao, I came here specially to learn.
"When I was fighting before, I heard that the yield per mu in some places was much higher than ours, so I thought about it a little more. I didn't use this method last year. It was not long after I came back. I didn't have anything, so I ordered some crops. Just try to keep the distance between the seeds as close as possible. If there is still enough rain this year as last year, and the light is good, you should be able to harvest more.”
"Then how much land do you think my family has to make in the vegetable garden to grow enough seedlings to use in the field?" times.
"Tell me how many acres of paddy fields you have in your home, and I'll help you figure it out later." Xi Yanqing said, "This place can be finished tomorrow morning. After you go back today, follow the method I taught you to clean up the land. , remember that each piece should not be big or small, just like this one. I'll take a look at it after I finish it at noon tomorrow. If your land is available, we'll put your seedlings tomorrow afternoon. bred."
"Sure." Han Yang said, "Then I'll go back first. Do you have the hemp rope ready?"
"No, these are enough for a few years." Xi Yanqing said, "If you have long ones, you can keep two groups of them, and use them when planting rice."
"Fitting the line?" Han Yang looked to see if Xi Yanqing was planting rice, and didn't understand what it meant.
"It's the same as the current grid pattern, except that the field area is large, so the line we make will have to become longer. Without making the line, there is no way to plant the rice seedlings in a row."
"Understood." Han Yang said, "It sounds interesting."
"Anyway, it's much harder than directly raising the seeds." Not to mention anything else, it is more tiring to bend over to plant rice seedlings than to raise the seeds directly.
"I'm willing to be a little tired. Who doesn't want to grow more food in the same big field? You can't buy this kind of tired money." Han Yang smiled, "I'll go back first, you guys are busy. on."
"Leave without eating?"
"No, no, I have to go back and see if my land works." Han Yang's family has more than 20 acres of land, and he is looking forward to receiving more food this year.
Not long after Han Yang returned, Luo Ru's face was reconciled. It was getting warmer, and everyone said they wanted to eat fried noodles, so Luo Ru thought about getting some egg sauce.
Her chickens have already started laying eggs, and there are quite a few eggs to eat at home recently.
"Second brother, have the hens in your place started laying eggs too?" Luo Ru said, "There are four newly opened and closed in my family, and eggs are collected every day."
"No." Luo Fei said depressedly, "I haven't watched the chicken lay eggs yet." He also found it strange. Several times he heard the hen crowing, but he didn't see anything when he went out. At first, I thought there was no chicken basket, but after I got the chicken basket, I didn't see any eggs! The chicks that Aunt Zhou's family next door bought last year have also started laying eggs, but his family hasn't laid eggs yet.
"No, why don't you lay eggs?" Luo Ru said, "Then get some from home when you go back. We have a lot of eggs recently."
"Well, it works." Luo Fei thought to himself, this chicken won't lay eggs elsewhere...
Luo Fei was busy at Luo's house until the sun went down, so Luo Fei went back with Xi Yanqing. Luo Yong took a step ahead of them, because there were sheep in the flock that were about to give birth, and Jing Rong didn't come today because of this. Luo Yong decided to go back earlier to see if there was anything that needed help.
On the way, Luo Fei carried a basket with eggs: "Brother Qing, do you think our hens have laid their eggs elsewhere? Why don't they have any eggs? Look at the mother. Several chickens have started laying eggs. Could it be that our hens disliked our roosters for being too ugly, so they went outside to find handsome chickens?"
Xi Yanqing said with a "poof": "The neighbors are also Aunt Zhou's house. Aunt Zhou's rooster is much uglier than our big red hair. Besides, our chickens rarely fly to Aunt Zhou's house."
Luo Fei thought about it, but it was.
It's not that their mother-in-law sells melons and brags about herself, but their roosters are indeed more majestic and beautiful than those of other families. Not only are they bigger, but they also hold their chests up and walk in the wind. A pair of roosters in the whole village belongs to him. It looks like it can be eaten.
"Maybe it's not yet time." Xi Yanqing said.
"Then I'll wait and see." Luo Fei yawned, "So sleepy."
"Go home, wash and sleep, it's been a long day." Xi Yanqing's hand went around Luo Fei's neck and gently stroked Luo Fei's face.
"how about you?"
"The person arranged by Big Brother Shi will come over in a while, I have to wait for a while." The saltpeter that Shi Shi promised to send will arrive tonight. When you pick it up, you have to find a place to put it first, and then you have to rely on these things when you try to make ice cream.
The ice cellar on Shi Shi's side has already started construction. As for the ice cream, it is only made in Shi Shi's personal ice cellar for the time being, so the output is not too much. But in comparison, it is still much more than Xi Yanqing's side. Now ice cream is not only sold in Songlin Town and Huangtan Town, but also in two other towns. The reason for not developing further afield is because the weather is getting warmer and the transportation cost is too high.
Xi Yanqing guessed that Shi Shi would open processing factories in the largest towns and cities in the country, especially in the south, and it would be crazy to sell this thing in summer.
In summer without air conditioning and electric fans, ice cream is definitely a great boon.
"Young Master Xi, do you think it's okay to put it here?" asked An Ping, a man from Shifu.
"Yes. Brother Lao Anping is here." Xi Yanqing clasped his fists.
"You're welcome. My master said, if it's not enough, there will be more in the future. In addition, this is what my master asked me to bring to you." Anping took a letter to Xi Yanqing, "Master Xi, if there is nothing else. , I'll go back first."
"Okay, the road is not easy to walk at night. Brother Anping, be careful on the road." Xi Yanqing sent him off, closed the door, and went in to see if the saltpeter was in good condition. This is not a raw ore, but a refined one, which saves him the trouble. Now he should get a few more copper basins.
Xi Yanqing covered the saltpeter, and then opened the envelope.
The letter was written by Shi Shi himself, to the effect that he was too busy to leave recently, so he couldn't come here. He asked Xi Yanqing when he was going.
Xi Yanqing was busy preparing the land and his fruit trees, and he really hadn't been to the town for a while. The last time I went, it was still selling the steamed bun with mutton. I didn't go to Shifu that time. Speaking of which, I haven't been to Shifu for a long time.
The main reason is that Luo Fei's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and he is always worried that he is too far away.
"There are so many people in the village, don't worry. You can go when you need to." Luo Fei is very conscious now. The key is not conscious, he is powerless now, and he can't help Xi Yanqing, so he can't be a hindrance, right? A little tiger is about to come out to feed, and it has to work hard to make money!
"Then I'll go after the Han family's nursery is over." Xi Yanqing said, "I'll let Sanbao come over then, or you can go back to your mother's house."
"Yeah, it's fine." Luo Fei lay down on the kang after washing, "By the way, if you go to Yunji Butcher's in the town, you can see if there are lamb haggis, it's lamb intestines, lamb liver, etc. Yes, if you have any, you can buy it back, I'm going to try making haggis."
"Haggles?" Xi Yanqing thought for a while, "Daughter-in-law, do you know what time it is? It's really unfriendly to say this." Speaking of haggis at this time, does it mean you want to be beaten on the butt
"Are you hungry?" Luo Fei said and bit his lip, "Actually, I'm a little hungry too." Recently, I don't know if the child is growing too fast or what, and the appetite has grown a lot. He was in no mood to look in the mirror.
"I'll go see what to eat." Xi Yanqing went to the ground.
"Don't go, there's nothing. I don't know what I'm doing. I'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"How about I boil two eggs?"
"Then you have to set fire to it, how troublesome?"
"No trouble. Wait a moment, I'll burn the hut, it'll be fine in a while." Xi Yanqing went out to hold the straw. There is still some straw left, burn a bundle, boil two eggs and poke more than that.
It was dark outside, and the moon was obscured by clouds. After Xi Yanqing went out, he smoked straw—the straw was piled up layer by layer. Xi Yanqing usually picked a safe place to smoke it, so as to prevent the lower part and the upper part from falling down and hitting people. However, it was a little dark at this time, and he didn't care so much, so he just smoked.
Unexpectedly, the straw did not fall, and other things fell from the top.
With a thud, it felt quite painful, and soon a sticky thing flowed down his forehead...
"Daughter-in-law!" Xi Yanqing shouted outside, grinning, "I know where your eggs are!"
"Nonsense!" Luo Fei was speechless and said without thinking, "I know where my eggs are even if you don't say anything!"
"Where?!"
"Of course it's in Lao Tzu's crotch, so why don't you ask?" Luo Fei had just woken up, and he was hungry, so his brain was running very slowly, and he didn't react at all. At this time, shouting loudly was like broadcasting to the neighbors. He pulled his shoes out and glared at Xi Yanqing, "What are you shouting at night?!"
"Aren't you looking for eggs?!" Xi Yanqing pointed to his head, "Did you see it?"
"I see! It's really an egg!" Luo Fei saw something sticky on Xi Yanqing's head and an eggshell, "Hey, your black hair is stuck."
"Wash it later." After Xi Yanqing finished speaking, he planned to go up to the straw to take a look. At this moment, the clouds drifted away, and the moonlight came out, quite bright.
When Xi Yanqing went up, there was a rustling noise, but Uncle Zhou from the neighbor's house was standing in the dark listening to the conversation from the neighbor's house. It was already messy in the wind...
This young couple is really not shy! Come out at night to find each other's eggs, is it possible that you still want to do that on the straw pile? !
Aren't you afraid of getting your butt pricked? !
Uncle Zhou was mainly misled by the word "black hair". In fact, Luo Fei was talking about Xi Yanqing's hair, and he joked with Xi Yanqing from time to time, but the egg next door and the black hair sticking together could be thought of by Brother Zhou...
When you get up at night and go to the toilet, you can hear such a shameful thing, so, does he still want to enter the house now? ! When they enter the house, the young couple will definitely find him, and they want to know that he heard their voices, after all, they are so close...
Xi Yanqing didn't notice that there was anyone outside the Zhou family. He wanted to show Luo Fei whether there were any eggs on it, so he climbed the straw with his bare hands.
"Brother Qing, you, you slow down." Luo Fei was careful that Xi Yanqing fell.
"It's alright, it's alright, just wait." Xi Yanqing was about to go down, he had already touched six eggs! It must have been his chickens flying up and down!
Uncle Zhou next door: "..."
In the end, he is a young guy, his physical strength is good, but it's lasting. But Luo Fei's stomach is so big, isn't it a little dangerous...
Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei didn't know there was someone in the neighbor's yard, so they happily went into the house to cook the eggs. Except for the one that fell on Xi Yanqing's head, none of them were damaged, and six, they would definitely not be able to finish it so late.
Luo Fei said to cook four, but Xi Yanqing did not object. He lit the fire and went to wash his hair, and there was Luo Fei adding straw to the stove.
After the eggs were cooked, the couple sat opposite each other like little hamsters, and ate four of their own eggs in the mood of eating delicious mountain and sea delicacies. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or what, this egg tastes different from the previous ones. Even though it was just dipped in soy sauce, it was more fragrant than any egg I had ever eaten before!
In fact, it's so late, Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei both know that eating eggs is not easy to digest, but sometimes, it's not fun if people are too well-behaved.
Xi Yanqing wiped Luo Fei's mouth with his finger and asked with a smile, "Are you still hungry?"
Luo Fei shook his head: "I'm not hungry anymore. Brother Qing, I'll wipe your hair."
Xi Yanqing sat with his back to Luo Fei, and let Luo Fei gently rub the cloth on his head.
&&& &&&
The next day, Xi Yanqing got up a little late, otherwise he wouldn't have seen the Zhou family when he came out to get the straw, but he actually saw it today. He saw that Uncle Zhou next door was looking at him without saying a word, and there seemed to be some embarrassment in his eyes.
So he took the initiative to say hello, "Uncle Zhou, good morning."
Zhou Dalong nodded: "Morning."
After he finished speaking, he went in with a straw, as if he was afraid of what he would say.
The banquet is clear of suspicion. what has he done
Later, when I asked Luo Fei, Luo Fei didn't know either. Xi Yanqing thought that it might be because he thought too much, and it was over. He continued to go to Luo's house to help nurse the seedlings, and then went to Han's house again.
The Han family has more land than the Luo family, and the area for growing seedlings is also larger. When the Luo family adds up, they use all the vegetable gardens in Hanyang's place for seedlings, while the main family's land is reserved for growing vegetables. Of course, after the rice seedlings are all removed from the nursery grounds, vegetables can continue to be grown, but the days will be later.
Xi Yanqing helped the Han family to finish it, and it was another morning. Although he didn't get everything neatly done, Han Yang already knew how to do it, so he left from the Han family.
He went to Luo's house. Because he was worried that Luo Fei was alone at home, he went to Luo's house in the morning to see the rice seedlings, and sent Luo Fei there by the way.
But as soon as I got outside the door, I heard Li Yuehua's voice.
"You kid, you're just a donkey, stubborn! People are listening to the voices of you and Yanqing. You said you didn't pay attention?!"
"What am I paying attention to? Nothing at all!" Luo Fei was embarrassed and speechless. Someone actually told his mother that he had recently cleared the house with Xi Yan, and said it was too dangerous. My mother, who is this? !
"Anyway, you have to take it easy in the future! You don't know how easy it is for my little grandson to come!" Li Yuehua still felt a little scared. Originally, I went to the field to see if there were any small heads of garlic, but I never wanted to see the eldest sister of the Zhou family. The eldest sister told her kindly and asked her to remind her family's second treasure and take the children to pay attention. She didn't react at first, because it's hard to say, so the eldest sister of the Zhou family also said it more vaguely. Later, she finally asked, but she didn't expect that her own son would dare to have sex with a child. Her little grandson is about to give birth, she wants to die!
"It's not easy to come by?!" It's not too easy to get caught in a handful, Luo Fei was eating peanuts, "Mother, don't worry, I really really didn't mess up! Besides, you can If you don't believe me, you should also believe Brother Qing, is Brother Qing such a senseless person?"
"He's measured, but he can't stand you arrogant kid recruiting him! He likes you so much, so why don't you make every move?"
"Don't make fun of me. Look at my face, my chin, and my body as round as a barrel."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you, stinky child. What do you want to eat later?" Li Yuehua asked.
"Anything will do, it's cool, I don't want to eat hot food." Luo Fei finished speaking, and when he saw Xi Yanqing, he blinked, suddenly threw himself on Xi Yanqing's body and rested on Xi Yanqing's shoulder, "Qing Brother, hey, hey, people have been wronged."
"What have you wronged?" Xi Yanqing gently stroked Luo Fei's back with a smile.
"I was wronged for hooking you up." Luo Fei squeezed his throat and dipped his index finger into the corner of his eyes, "Did I hook up with you?"
"It's a hook up." Xi Yanqing tweeted on Luo Fei's mouth, "That's already been wronged, why don't you go back tonight and take it seriously, what do you think, daughter-in-law?"
"Squeak..." The door opened. Li Yuehua looked at these two "players", her face as black as a dark cloud.
