Chapter 342 New Changes in the Cave Sky
After breakfast of big buns, the young couple got busy.
Wang Jusheng gave a lot of pork. Chen Ling thought that since he was going to make bacon, he would cook more pork, so he went to various houses in the village and bought some more. How could it add up to more than half a pig? .
Including the pig head given by Wang Jusheng and the pig's water, even if the bacon is finished, there will be enough for the two of them.
In the morning, perhaps because they knew that Chen Ling’s family was going to make bacon, Da Nier and Wu Nier came again.
Wu Nier came to help take Ruirui, and Da Nier and Wang Susu washed the pork piece by piece, evenly applied a layer of coarse salt, and then put them layer by layer in a pottery jar and marinated them for four or five days. Then you can take it out, wash it with warm water, string it on a hook, and hang it above the stove.
Everyday cooking and cooking are naturally smoked. When the time comes, it becomes fragrant bacon.
Sausage is a little more troublesome. You need to make casings from pig intestines, then cut the meat into small pieces, add various seasonings, and pour them into the casings at noon the next day. The same thing is hung above the stove for smoking. Can.
After marinating the pork that day, Chen Ling cleaned up the pig head and stewed it in the pot. He ate the fragrant pig head meat in the evening.
The pork is marinated, and I will not be idle next. I picked some fat chickens and ducks and slaughtered them to make cured chicken and duck.
The bacon made by farmers in the mountains tastes different, but the cooking method is roughly the same as bacon.
Clean the whole chickens and ducks and hang them up. However, the chickens and ducks selected for making cured chicken and cured ducks should be fatter. Otherwise, they will be dry and without meat after drying, which is not good. have eaten.
I killed a dozen chickens and a dozen ducks in one go.
I took a lot of chicken offal and duck offal. These are also good things.
Feed the ones that are difficult to handle and smelly to the dogs, and use the rest that are easy to handle to make clay hotpots.
This local hot pot is still in the style of a mandarin duck pot. Chen Ling got greedy last year, when Wang Susu was just pregnant. When he went to buy a juicer, he had a pot specially made for him. He used the soup base from yesterday's stewed pig head and simply stir-fried it. Make a portion of spicy pot base, just enough to make a mandarin duck pot.
In addition to chicken and duck offal, I also cut some mutton slices. The chicken and duck offal are made from water and have a fishy smell. It is better to eat them in a spicy pot. As for the mutton, after the Chen Ling family raised the sheep, it also had a fishy smell. It's really surprising, the meat is fresh and tender, with almost no fishy smell, and it will be even more delicious when washed in clear soup.
There are also tofu, meatballs, winter bamboo shoot slices, mushrooms, potatoes, sauerkraut and other side dishes, which are enough for the young couple to have a lively meal.
Wang Susu was very surprised by the taste of duck blood and duck intestines cooked in a spicy pot. She kept eating until the tip of her nose was sweating and her little lips were red, which made Chen Ling laugh for a while.
Rui Rui, a little kid, doesn’t know what to say, so he follows along and has fun.
Then the next day, the little guy was stunned to find that he ran to the crib again when he woke up.
This day is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.
While having breakfast, Chen Ling saw that his wife liked spicy food more and more in the past two years, so he said that next time he would make sausages, he would make more spicy ones.
Wang Susu was surprised: "Spicy? Do you need to put chili pepper in it?"
"Yes." Chen Ling nodded: "Salt and other seasonings are also included, but chili pepper is added. In addition to the spiciness, you can also add sugar to make it sweet, which is also delicious. ”
Wang Susu listened with curiosity and said with a smile: "Then let's do it next year. I have never heard of spicy and sweet flavors before."
......
As soon as the second day of the twelfth lunar month arrived Ten days later, time seems to fly by.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, everyone has a smile on their face. They are busy all year round, and no one wants to leave their anger in the twelfth lunar month.
In the twelfth lunar month, people start to be particular about their speech. They only say nice things to each other and don't talk about their troubles.
This year, the village has also agreed to hold a temple fair next year, and has decided to set off two fireworks on the night of New Year's Eve and the 15th day of the first lunar month so that the villagers can watch it.
The red lanterns were hung up early.
Everyone was looking forward to it all of a sudden.
Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, time flies by quickly, and the day of New Year’s Eve is soon here.
But this year there is no New Year’s Eve, only New Year’s Eve.
Chen Ling's family cleaned the village, yard and farm two days in advance, posted Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters, and hung up new lanterns.
On the twenty-ninth day of the new year, incense and candles were burned at night, and everything was tidied up.
The family’s livestock, dogs, cows, eagles, and even a few weasels were also called home and all were fed.
Chen Ling also placed the colorful ornamental fish and bright red koi in the house, adding a bit of joy.
At eight o'clock in the evening, after it was completely dark, every household was lighting up torches with joy before eating. The little kids lit lanterns and went out lively.
There were scattered small snowflakes in the sky. Wang Laishun led the people in the brigade to arrange the fireworks in two long rows on the dam. After they were lit, each firework rushed up to the sky and bloomed into a flower in the night sky. A bright firework.
The villagers were shouting lively, and the little kids were running around, clapping their hands and screaming.
The Chen Ling family of three stood in the crowd watching the fireworks. The two adults raised their heads. In the middle was a pink and jade doll with a pair of black eyes. He also raised his head without blinking. Looking at the sky, grinning from time to time.
The fireworks continued to bloom for half an hour, and the faces of the two adults and one child were illuminated red.
... After the fireworks were set off, the family of three followed the bustling crowd back home.
Then we started to eat New Year’s Eve dinner. Turning on the TV and watching the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Ling took off his thick coat and served the food to the table wearing only a sweater and a cotton vest. The young couple sat at the table, with the baby in the middle tied to a chair with a big scarf. A family of three had New Year's Eve dinner and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
From time to time, the cotton curtain at the door shook, and a bunch of little fat dogs came in and out with bones in their mouths. After eating, they started playing with weasels again, under the table and under the chairs. , running back and forth making a lot of noise.
Seeing this, Chen Ling scolded him and brought the black baby Xiaojin and Erbaldi into the house. Even the little white cow hadn't been taken back to the village yet. He stuck his big head at the door and opened his eyes. Mooing into the house with his eyes closed.
For the Chinese New Year, it is fun to have fun together.
......
1997 is here, and this year is a special year.
It is special to the country, has a special impact on the people, and is also special to Chen Ling.
Because just after the New Year, Sun Moon Cave Sky has undergone new changes.
In the scope shrouded in milky white mist, a new territory was once again opened for him.
The Sun and Moon Cave Sky has truly become worthy of its name. There is finally a sun and moon, but this sun and moon look very illusory, like the projection of the sun and moon from the outside world.
But no matter what, with the sun and the moon, this means that the cave sky will have day and night.
The small jasper tree sprouted new buds, and the spiritual water spring diluted by spiritual dew gradually expanded again, and the once creek became a river.
The fish lake is getting deeper and deeper.
The Leopard Mountain where the leopard is located has been piled up into a mountain by the stones that Chen Ling has collected one after another in these days. Now it is covered with soil under Chen Ling's control, and flowers, plants and trees have grown on it. It can be said that the leopard is paradise.
Now we just have to catch the female leopard.
Now that the Dongtian area has expanded, the newly opened territory is very barren and has no vegetation. It is like a blank territory specially left for him to do what he wants.
But after Chen Ling went to see it himself, he felt that this was not the case.
But the Jasper Tree’s area of a hundred acres is very special.
That area is like a real paradise.
The small jasper tree is undoubtedly the core of the Sun and Moon Cave.
The newly opened territory seems to be a newly developed space. There is only bare land, and the soil is not much better than the soil outside, and is not even as fertile as the soil outside.
Chen Ling observed for a few days and saw that after the soil of the new territory was infiltrated by the spiritual energy flowing in the cave, it gradually became full of inspiration and fertile.
Seeing this, Chen Ling had a sudden idea and directly blocked the spiritual energy, attracted a large amount of water vapor from the external reservoir, and froze the new territory into a world of ice and snow, which was even worse than the winter snow environment he had specially created before. Completely, a small ice and snow plateau was formed directly.
This is also good for him to cultivate various species.
Even if you don’t need it now, you can save it for later.
After the first month is over, I will buy some livestock, not just oxen, but mules and horses, so that I can eat meat until the end of the year in addition to working.
The sheep killed at the end of the year taste quite good. I believe that after raising other animals, the meat quality will be even better.
The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is another grand fireworks show, attracting more people than anyone imagined. The next day, there is another temple fair in the county on the 16th day of the first lunar month. The first lunar month is the leisure month. Everyone Just join in the fun.
Many people gathered on the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The vendors were all familiar with the business. They had set up stalls for many days during the old turtle parade in the reservoir, and later they set up stalls during the temple fair and opera. By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of this year, there was really a large group of people.
Moreover, the fireworks on the 15th day lasted longer than those on New Year's Eve. They lasted for about an hour. There were all kinds of fireworks, some like flowers, some like waterfalls, and some like fireworks. They were very diverse. Gorgeous and pretty.
The name of Chenwangzhuang has spread further, and more people know about the temple fair.
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Chenwangzhuang Primary School officially opened.
The bears in the village are having a lot of fun this winter vacation. In addition to eating more and playing more this year, they also have the opportunity to go to Chen Ling’s house to watch TV for a while. It’s such a beautiful little life.
When the school day came, everyone was crying and no one was willing. The day before school started, Liu Nier brought her homework and wanted to come to the farm to ask Wang Zhenzhen to help him with his homework. However, Wang Zhenzhen hadn’t come back yet, and he himself So I secretly stuffed the homework book into the kennel.
After school started, he told the teacher that the little dogs in Chen Ling's family were too cruel. He went to find Wang Zhenzhen to do his homework, and accidentally took his homework book away and tore it into pieces. He didn't want to do that.
The teacher was a teacher from Taoshugou, and he was still very young. After hearing this, he took the child to the farm after school at noon to ask whether it was true or not.
Actually, the teacher had never been to the farm before and wanted to take this opportunity to come in and have a look.
Han Chuang and Jiang Xiaoqing happened to be guests that day, so they took the teacher and Liu Nier to sit down for a drink and dinner without saying a word.
After hearing about his intention, Chen Ling was even more generous and helped Liu Nier complete her lie.
It was a coincidence later that the puppies are now three months old. They are two times bigger than before. Each one is very strong. They are no longer chubby little fat dogs, and they eat more raw meat. , sharp teeth and sharp mouth, very fierce.
The male teacher threw two bones under the table to them. Not only did they not eat them, but two puppies rushed forward angrily and tore the male teacher's trousers.
He was shocked, and he immediately believed Liu Nier's lies.
