Chapter 25 - Braised Pork
“That daughter-in-law of the accountant’s family is really a prodigal. If she buys meat every day, she must have ruined the accountant’s meat ticket, right?” said Zhang’s neighbor, the elder sister-in-law of the Wang family, with a look of envy and jealousy.
“Today their family is stewing meat again. After every other stew, their family is really rich?”
“If you marry such a prostitute, the accountant will be able to endure it. By then, this prostitute has lost all the money and tickets in the family, so she has to leave such a mother-in-law and go home.” Sister-in-law of the Wang family said sourly.
“Mother, do we also buy meat for our family?” Sister Wang finished souring the Zhang family next door, then turned around and said to her mother-in-law.
“Eat, eat, you know what to eat! Didn’t our family just eat meat two days ago? How many more meals do you want to eat? Do you think the meat tickets at home came from the strong wind?” Wang’s mother-in-law stared at her daughter-in-law fiercely, He glared at her and cursed.
“The accountant next door eats meat every day…” Wang’s sister-in-law muttered.
“The accountant is an accountant. Do you think you can compare with others? The accountant has a son who is a soldier, and his youngest daughter-in-law’s parents are all workers. Can you compare with others? Can you?” A big daughter-in-law.
“Hurry up and cook, don’t eat if you don’t want to eat if you don’t have meat, and save the rations for the children.” The mother-in-law of the Wang family stared at the elder sister-in-law of the Wang family and said.
“Mother, what are you talking about? How could I not eat? I’m starving.” The eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family smirked and hurried to cook.
Hu Xiaomei looked at her sister-in-law, then at her mother-in-law, and finally at the Zhang family next door, and went back to work without saying anything. There is a lot of work at home, even if she doesn’t do the cooking today, the clothes of their three-bedroom and four-person family always have to be washed.
The smell of the braised pork stewed by Chen Xiayue made all the neighbors drool with gluttony, but Chen Xiayue was still leisurely preparing other dishes.
Zhang Deping, Liu Guiying and Zhang Chengchuan were really amazed when they ate braised pork. People in this era think that meat is delicious no matter what they do, but this braised pork is simply amazing.
The soft and glutinous fat melted without chewing a sip, the lean meat with a bit of chewiness, the braised pork is fat but not greasy, the sauce is rich, and it is very delicious.
Chen Xiayue steamed white rice very happily today. The delicious braised pork with white rice is definitely a perfect match.
Although Liu Guiying is very distressed about the money and tickets for buying meat, and also very distressed about rice, but she also eats braised pork and white rice herself, of course, she will not criticize her daughter-in-law’s prodigal family.
Chen Xiayue is also very satisfied, but she is not in good health and can’t eat too much greasy food. Although the braised pork is not very greasy, it is not something that Chen Xiayue can eat, so she eats a few mouthfuls of braised pork and then eats other dishes. .
The sweet potatoes were planted and the rice was harvested. Zhang Chengchuan, who had been slack in farming, felt that he had nothing to do and planned to go up the mountain, but Chen Xiayue didn’t plan to go. She didn’t like the mountain leech.
Chen Xiayue and her mother-in-law Liu Guiying clean up the private plot at home. The plot is quite large, so Liu Guiying plans to plant corn.
Chen Xiayue asked Zhang Chengchuan to replace his corn seeds with those from the farm. After all, the farm’s corn yield is 2,000 to 3,000 per mu, which is much higher than the current yield of 1,000.
Chen Xiayue and her mother-in-law planted corn on the private plot. Zhang Deping and Zhang Chengchuan were also busy. Zhang Deping needed to count the received grain and work points.
After Chen Xiayue and her mother-in-law Liu Guiying planted corn and sweet potatoes on their private plots, her farm was also upgraded.
Now that the farm is level 3, after the farm is upgraded, she can enter the farm as a whole. Of course, Zhang Chengchuan, the deputy farmer, can enter the farm freely with the permission of the farmer.
Chen Xiayue breathed a sigh of relief. After she can enter the farm, she can make delicious food on the farm without worrying that the taste is too great to cause discussion among the neighbors.
The braised pork she cooked last time aroused resentment from the surrounding neighbors, and some people even said that she was a prodigal.
Chen Xiayue also knew that she was a bit conspicuous like this, and she had to be careful in the future. After all, she has just married now, and there is still a lot of dowry, but in the future, she can’t take out all kinds of meat and the like, and the source is not clear.
The farm has been upgraded to level 3 and can be entered, and new crops have been unlocked. The newly unlocked crop this time is also not rice, but sugar cane.
Although it is said that wheat can be used to make maltose, Chen Xiayue still thinks that brown sugar and white sugar are more convenient. If you have sugar cane, you can process it into white sugar and brown sugar.
Now Chen Xiayue’s warehouse has tens of thousands of kilograms of wheat in stock. She doesn’t plan to grow wheat in the near future, nor does she plan to sell the wheat in the warehouse to the system.
In the case of tomatoes, Chen Xiayue looked at them and saw a lot. The rest of the 1,000 catties she left behind were all sold to the system. The corn also had more than 20,000 catties. Chen Xiayue’s 10,000 catties of corn were all sold to the system.
Chen Xiayue plans to plant sugarcane now, because the harvest time of sugarcane is 50 minutes. Chen Xiayue plans to plant sugarcane during the day and continue to plant corn, a long-time crop, at night.
Now the farmland is empty, and a whole mu of land has been planted with sugarcane by Chen Xiayue. The yield of sugarcane is very high, and one mu of land can harvest five tons of sugarcane.
“Unlocking new crops?” Zhang Chengchuan, who went to the mountain in a panic, caught pheasants and hares and sold them on the black market, has not been up the mountain anymore. Recently, Zhang Chengchuan has been quite free, and he is by his wife’s side.
When I saw that the farm had unlocked a new crop, I was very curious about what it was. When I saw the sugar cane, I was surprised, “Is it sugar cane? After that, there will be no shortage of sugar to eat.”
Chen Xiayue rolled her eyes at him and said, “Did you go to the mountain before going to the fragrant fruit? There should be a lot of fragrant fruit ripe now, right?”
“Other people in the village will go, and I’m not short of fruit to eat.” Zhang Chengchuan said, he looked at the two fragrant fruit seedlings planted in the corner of his house, and looked forward to how many fragrant fruit his fragrant fruit would grow when he grew up. can eat.
“I’m missing it.” Chen Xiayue continued to give him a roll of eyes, “I’ve finished eating the fragrant fruit before, why don’t you go pick some and come back?”
“And you can also ask the captain if they can let the villagers cut down some fragrant fruit vines and come back for cuttings. In the future, there will be no shortage of fragrant fruit in our village.”
“Of course, if you want to cut down the vines, you can’t cut down all the ten trees in the mountain, and you can’t toss them to death. After all, this is the fragrant fruit vine that has just fruited in the first year, and they can continue to bear fruit for ten years.” Chen Xiayue said.
Xiangguo is a perennial vine that can bear fruit in the first year, and the vines of Xiangguo can grow for ten years.
But with such a high yield of fragrant fruit, the ten-year fruiting period is also very strong.
After listening to her words, Zhang Chengchuan thought about it and thought that this proposal was a good idea. If every household in the village planted two fragrant fruit seedlings, then their village would not be short of fragrant fruit to eat in the future, and they could also sell the extra fragrant fruit.
And fragrant fruit is a vine, just like planting pumpkin and winter melon on a shelf and planting it in your own yard, and it doesn’t take up much space, which is good.
