Chapter 19 cabbage and watermelon

"Watermelon?"

This lottery was drawn a box of high-quality watermelon seeds, which was a bit embarrassing, and the watermelon Li Feng's family had never planted it. "Let's go to the town's agricultural technology station and ask. ”

Wuling Agricultural Technology Station is not far from the station, five minutes' walk, passing by the sheep soup shop to buy two baked cakes while gnawing at the Agricultural Technology Station. The old agricultural technician of the agricultural technology station glanced at Li Feng, this baby doesn't look like a farmer.

"You have been staying at the agricultural technology station for a long time, do we have a history of growing watermelons in this area?" Li Feng sent a pack of pine cigarettes that he had just bought, and a pack of more than ten yuan was considered a good cigarette in Wuling. The old farmer technician accepted it with a smile, this baby is quite good at things.

"Watermelon, this is rare, fortunately you asked me, if others really don't know, our piece actually produced tribute in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wuling watermelon, but unfortunately over the years, the fertility of the land has declined, not suitable for watermelon planting, young man, you are planning to plant Wuling melon, I advise you to forget it." The old farmer technician told Li Feng with regret that no one had ever planted Wuling melons a few years ago, but unfortunately in the end, he lost all his money and lost nearly one million, and then he didn't mention this stubble.

Li Feng muttered in his heart, and he really didn't know about this, but thinking that the peach forest was super fertilized, and the fertility would be exhausted for a while and a half, he was not afraid. "Okay, thank you. The old man looked at Li Feng who was walking away and shook his head slightly, this kid will not give up, forget it, it's okay to fail at a young age.

Li Feng pondered about the watermelon while walking on the way back, try it first, his own land is not afraid of loss, and then the production of the rural live broadcast room will not be too bad. Back home, the sky has just been darkened, Zhang Fengqin is making tofu, tomorrow is a five-day Wuling market, and the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, tofu wants to come and listen to the best-selling.

Li Feng came back in a hurry and helped grind tofu, the job of grinding tofu is not easy at all, Li Feng's body shaping pills transform his body, and after pushing for half an hour, his whole body is sore, his arms are sore, don't say that his mother is almost fifty. "Mom, why don't we buy an electric mill at home, I see that thing is very convenient. ”

"The electric mill is too expensive, thousands of dollars a piece. Zhang Fengqin waved her hand, grinding tofu by herself to earn thousands of yuan a year, and she was reluctant to be too expensive.

Li Feng wanted to say that he would pay for it, but he was afraid that Zhang Fengqin would talk about marrying his daughter-in-law, so he simply waited for the opportunity to cut it first and then buy it, and then he would be complained about at most. The beans are ground out of the slurry, which is the first step in making tofu, and there is also the syrup, boiling the bean curd, beating the marinade, and pressing the tofu.

Two plates of tofu, the mother and son were busy for most of the night, so they had the time to eat bean curd, Zhang Fengqin watched his son kill a bowl in three or two, and was happy, the child can eat it is a blessing body, what else can be compared. "Mom, why don't you eat it. ”

"Hehe, Mom is ready. ”

Zhang Fengqin said. "Your dad called in the morning and said that he would not come back during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the boss asked him to help look at the construction site, and his salary doubled on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

"Mom, why don't you let Dad come back. ”

Li Feng persuaded that his parents were simple farmers, living a fine life, and double wages were tempting for Li Fushan. "Forget it, the Dragon Boat Festival is not a big festival, your father has told others. ”

Li Feng sighed secretly, he still didn't have much interest, so he had to hurry up and plant vegetables and watermelons and make some achievements. "Mom, I'll help you push the cart tomorrow. ”

Zhang Fengqin wanted to say that his son was a college student, so how could he do these goods, but seeing Li Feng's expression, he nodded. "Go to bed early, catch up early tomorrow. ”

The next day, it was a little more than five o'clock, and Li Feng pushed a cart loaded with two plates of tofu and set off with Zhang Fengqin. The last big market before the Dragon Boat Festival, there are still a lot of people on the street, Li Feng's car was placed, he paid two yuan for the stall fee and five cents for the sanitation fee, opened the gauze covering the tofu, took out the tofu knife, and turned it into four squares.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a custom here in Wuling, in addition to zongzi, there is also a tofu dumpling, using tofu as a skin to wrap the meat filling, smeared with eggs, fried tofu dumplings is an indispensable thing for the Dragon Boat Festival. The tofu sells well, and Li Feng helps out.

"Huh, Kaede?"

"Fatty, when did you come back?"

"I just came back yesterday, I didn't come to the town to walk around, what's the matter, when did you come back?" The fat man Li Xiao is Li Feng's own family, and both of them went out of Wuling Middle School. “

"I came back a few days ago, and I was unhappy in the city, so I simply quit my job and went home to do live broadcasts. Li Feng said casually and helped Li Xiao pack a piece of tofu. "Take a piece of tofu home and eat it. ”

"Don't plan to go back?" Li Xiao, it's really a bit unexpected, you must know that you have been in the city for a long time, and it's okay to stay home for two or three days, but it's a little uncomfortable if it's too long, and it's too quiet and uncertain after a long time.

"I'm not going back, I'm going to do it at home. Li Feng handed the tofu to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao took the tofu and thanked him, he didn't mention the money, and he didn't mention the money in Li Feng's face. "That's okay, don't delay your business, let's get together in a few days, Gao Xiang's kid has come back recently." ”

"Okay, call me then. The two exchanged their numbers, Li Xiao didn't delay, his girlfriend was still waiting in the front store.

"Xiao Feng, classmate?"

"Junior high school classmates, Mom, the tofu sells about the same, I'll go buy something, let's go back." Li Feng didn't see much tofu, the time was not early, and it was noon when he hurried back home, so he didn't delay and went to the supermarket to buy a few bags of milk, a few bottles of Lao Baigan, and some fruits

Meat and fruit are available at home, but it is not bad, back on the street sure enough, the tofu was sold out, Zhang Fengqin bought a piece of beef and dried chili peppers and other ingredients, and waited for Li Feng to come back to clean up, and went home after cleaning up the garbage.

On the way, Li Feng pushed the car, and Zhang Fengqin sit. "If it's not Xiaofeng, Mom will come down for a meeting. "It's okay, Mom, if you have more straw mats. Li Feng smiled, the cart was not tired, someone was talking, and he arrived home in less than an hour and a half.

"Xiaofeng, why do you buy so many things?" Back at home, Zhang Fengqin frowned a little when she saw that her son had stuffed so many things in his bamboo basket, why did this baby spend so much money.

"I'm going to go to my grandmother's house tomorrow, but I haven't been there for more than a year, so I'll buy more. ”

Li Feng said that Li Feng's grandmother's house is more than 30 miles away from Li Jiapo, and it is still an old mountain, which is several times more difficult to walk than Li Jiapo's road, especially a section of the mountain road, which is comparable to Li Taibai's difficult road.

Zhang Fengqin nodded, it is not easy to go out of that place, and it is good to send more. "Okay, your grandmother was talking about you years ago, and I haven't been there for a long time. ”

Thinking of this, Li Feng was still ashamed, saying that when he just graduated, he had to find a job and Xiaomin's mother Zhou Xuan, waiting to break up with Xiaomin at the end of the year, he didn't go back to his home, where did he go to his grandmother's house, remembering that his grandfather was a little delicious when he was a child, and he rushed to send it to more than 30 miles of mountain roads, and he felt guilty.

"Mom is going to cook, you put the things you want to send tomorrow and put them in the bamboo basket. Zhang Fengqin looked at the time, it was more than twelve o'clock, and he didn't make any big dishes at noon, so he stewed a pot of rice, copied a scrambled egg with green peppers, a plate of cold cucumbers, a plate of eggplant, and the pickles left over from the morning.

Both mother and son were a little hungry, and after a while, most of the dishes were eaten, and Li Feng patted his stomach. "Mom, today's food is so delicious. ”

"yes, I'm still hungry. Zhang Fengqin was also a little puzzled, what's the matter, this dish is his own vegetable garden, why do I think today is better than a few days ago.

"Probably really hungry. ”

Li Feng muttered in his heart, it can't be because of the super fat that he melted in front of the vegetable garden, think about it, it's really possible, my mother seemed to go to water it yesterday. "Mom, I'm going to clean up the peach grove and plant some vegetables and watermelons. ”

Zhang Fengqin was stunned. "I think of growing vegetables. ”

"I don't go to the city, as soon as my friend who works at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences heard that I was going to go back to the village, I sent me a good seed that had not yet been marketed, saying that the yield and taste were good, anyway, I had plenty of time at home, try it." Li Feng thought of an excuse yesterday.

"That's okay, wait for Mom to come with you to help clean up the peach forest. Zhang Fengqin put down the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned them up and put them in the kitchen.

Li Feng originally wanted to hire the aunt and aunt in the village, and the uncle helped, three or four acres of weeds were quite lush, and his mother and mother were not sure when they would be busy. "Hire someone, I'll tell your aunt, it's not a big place, it's cleaned up in two days, you don't care. ”

Zhang Fengqin is reluctant to pay money, Li Feng knows this, but he doesn't know how to persuade him, he still waits for the results in the future, and when he comes, his mother will no longer be tired of herself for this little money. "Then I'll go to the peach grove and clean up the shrubs and miscellaneous trees. ”

Li Feng carried a bamboo basket on his back, a firewood knife stuffed around his waist, and greeted Zhang Fengqin with a red tassel gun and a water bottle.

"Who?"

Li Feng looked at it, there were really people.

"Erha?"

Li Feng saw clearly that the kid who was climbing on the peach tree and covering his head to pick peaches was not the second son of Li's family, who was it.

"Third brother?"

Erha's eyes were a little dodgy, originally Li Feng only took this kid to steal a peach, and didn't take it seriously. "Third brother, this monkey stole your peaches, saw that he didn't run, and smashed people with peach pits, third brother, you see, my forehead was smashed several bags. ”

"The. ”

Li Feng couldn't cry or laugh, this kid, if it weren't for the little monkey grandson who pointed to Erha as soon as he saw Li Feng and complained, he didn't forget to drag out the bamboo basket where Erha hid peaches, the bamboo basket was filled with most of the bamboo basket peaches, this kid was stealing peaches to eat, such a big bamboo basket could hold at least thirty or fifty catties. "Monkey King, well done. ”

Erha sneered, his eyes flickered at the exit of the peach forest, and Li Feng shook the red tassel gun. "Tell me, what's going on?"

"That third brother, I want to buy a pair of shoes, this is not as big as your peach, and the price is high. Erha said and glanced at Li Feng, Li Feng was speechless and knocked Erha's head. "Your dad can still lack a pair of shoes for you, little slippery head, fuck off. ”

"Hehe, third brother, you see I helped you pick it for a long time, and you haven't eaten one yet. ”

"Go. ”

Li Feng was really speechless with this kid behind his back, and threw two peaches. "Get out of here. ”

"Wait a minute. ”

Li Feng thought, this kid doesn't look at slippery and loaches, but he is a good hand at work.
