Chapter 456: The Old Man

Changbai Mountain.

After Xu Guangling left, the small forest protection station suddenly became much quieter.

It was so quiet that even Lao Tan and Lao Lin, who had long been accustomed to silence, were a little uncomfortable.

Especially Lao Lin, this old man in his fifties, when Xu Guangling was there, to tell the truth, he didn't interact much with Xu Guangling, and now, every morning and evening, he often muttered to Xiao Tan: "If Mr. Xu is still here, how good!"

That's probably not just because Xu Guangling will make good food, and not just because Xu Guangling will give him acupuncture once in ten days and a half months.

Of course, this is definitely the second reason.

However, Xu Guangling is gone, and the vegetables he planted are still there.

Tomatoes, radish, eggplant, water spinach, lettuce, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, cucumbers, shallots, these nine vegetables that Lao Tan and Lao Lin have long been familiar with, are still lush, but I don't know if it is an illusion between the two, after Mr. Xu left, these vegetables did not seem to grow as fast as before.

For example, cucumbers, in the past, every new melon grew every day, and there was more than one, and it was really a thief.

And now, it is often two or three days before there is a new melon twist.

Perhaps, it's because the weather is getting cooler?

In fact, normally speaking, it's winter, and these vegetables shouldn't grow at all!

The number of new cucumbers is decreasing, and so are the eggplants, but the tomatoes are growing into small dwarf tree-like seedlings, and each one of them has one heavy fruit after another.

So Lao Tan and Lao Lin, the two of them, who have eaten the most recently, are still tomatoes, eaten raw, fried, and eaten in soup, anyway, they are delicious no matter how they eat, even if they are eaten raw, they are much more delicious than apples and pears or something, and they are delicious to the sky.

A tomato, from small to large, from green to white, and then from white to yellow, from yellow to red, the red from the very beginning of the tip, little by little upward, grow to the root, when the whole tomato is ripe, there is still a little bit of green and white left in the root.

At this time, you can pick it, and with a slight turn, it will come down, which is much easier to pick than cucumbers, and cucumbers should be used with scissors!

Lao Tan and Lao Lin have all practiced good skills, and they are called skilled. Lao Lin was also praised by Mr. Xu, but Mr. Xu has left now.

If you take it off and eat it raw, you don't even need to wash it, you can put it in your mouth.

However, whether it is Lao Tan or Lao Lin, they like to break this tomato and eat it, and they eat it while watching.

The big tomato, the size of a palm, is broken in half, and then, after breaking it, the first thing you see is not red, but transparent, especially if you shine on the sun, from above to the bottom, so transparent that the eye can see into it!

And then there's the sand.

Sand like watermelon.

In this way, take a bite, both small and large, and then, all of a sudden, cool, sour, sweet, like a "sand block" composed of the finest and finest sand, roll in the mouth, and just roll or two, and the countless fine sand will fall down from the sand and melt away......

At this time, immediately, saliva came out, completely uncontrollably, and a mouthful.

Lao Tan and Lao Lin are not very literate people, but every day they eat this tomato, they will be really intoxicated and intoxicated, so they often have a tomato, which can be eaten for more than ten minutes.

It's not that it's not delicious, it's that it's too delicious.

It's so delicious that I can't bear to eat it!

Although there are dozens of tomatoes in the garden, and there are so many fruits hanging on each one.

In addition to tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplants, there are several other things, Chinese cabbage and water spinach, but they are eaten one less and one is missing.

But this thing doesn't wait for anyone, you don't eat it, put it there and let it grow, or they will grow old in a few days! Yes, they grow fast!

Lao Tan and Lao Lin both let their mother-in-law make pickles, Chinese cabbage, radish, bamboo shoots, cucumbers, eggplant, can be pickled!

Pickled jar after jar.

Lao Lin said that don't eat these pickles first, and when Mr. Xu comes back in the future, he will give him a taste first, and then eat them together.

Old Tan nodded silently.

It's just that Mr. Xu will come back?

There are a few Chinese cabbage trees that are the first to elder, and the old forest is left to plant, and then some seeds are sprinkled in the garden.

After a few days, it really sprouted!

But before Lao Lin could be happy, the bud quickly withered again, and then within a few days, it completely froze to death. "I'll just say it!" Lao Lin said to Xiao Tan.

There was obvious disappointment in the words, but more relief than that.

A kind of "Is this right!" The world finally returned to normal.

Patrolling the mountains and staying behind normally, except that the food is completely different from before, Lao Tan and Lao Lin's lives don't seem to have changed much.

But there are still some places that are not the same as before.

Lao Lin's elbows are not very sharp, in the past, they would become a little stiff in winter, and sometimes they would be sore, and every morning when he got up, he would often become like stones, but this year, there was no such situation at all.

Not only is the elbow very, very sharp, but even the whole person has become very brisk.

When patrolling the mountains, you don't get tired all day long!

The mother-in-law of the family, in the past, would have a little cough in winter, not much of a problem, and the medicine could not be eaten, but from time to time, it would be coughing, but this year, because of eating the vegetables taken at home, I didn't cough once.

The situation of the old Tan family is similar.

It's just that Lao Lin is a mother-in-law, and he is a baby daughter.

My daughter's health has become better than anyone else's, and she doesn't have to go to the hospital again.

Ask your mother-in-law where to see (seek medical treatment)? Be sure to introduce them to them!

As the days passed, Lao Tan and Lao Lin collected a lot of honey from the bees inside and outside the vegetable garden, and of course they were stung many times, and those bees were really fierce. Scattered and even filled more than a dozen bottles, one bottle and one catty, but the two of them were not very willing to ******* expensive things, I didn't have to eat (mode) wasted, Xiao Tan, can you drink when you go out in the morning. Lao Lin said to Lao Tan like this.

Lao Tan also shook his head.

He was reluctant to eat it, so he brought a bottle to his family, and he didn't even let his wife drink it!

On this day, their small station suddenly had visitors.

Two good-looking little girls, and a few people who came with them.

Acquaintance.

"Uncle Lin!" The younger girl jumped up, her eyebrows opened and she smiled, smiling like a cauliflower in the vegetable garden on the side, with a unique spirit, and laughed so much that Lao Lin also laughed along, "Uncle Lin, I'm here again, welcome?"

Of course welcome, of course welcome.

The big one is very polite, the small one is very cute, Lao Lin has a good impression of these two girls.

"Uncle Lin, what about Brother Xu, he went up the mountain again, hasn't he come back yet?"
