Chapter 10 The spring breeze blows the spring flowers
The lunch meal was very enjoyable, it can be said that the guests and hosts were happy, and there was work in the afternoon, and the two professors Lin Song took the initiative to propose not to drink at noon, and Liu Wen was not easy to persuade him.
In the afternoon, the group of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences moved the equipment to the side of the reservoir, which was quite complete, with tents, rubber boats, oxygen cylinders and diving suits, as well as a special fishing net, which seemed to be ready for a long-term battle on the shore of the lake.
The next day, the old soft-shelled turtle still appeared in the old place in the water, and before the two excited professors rowed the rubber boat closer, it sank to the bottom. After the frogman was fully equipped and launched, he found the underground cave, but the environment in the cave was dark and the terrain was complicated, so the frogman could not explore too far, so he had to return the same way in vain.
The two professors waited for more than ten days, but they never saw the old turtle show their traces again, and they couldn't wait any longer, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences always had other work, so they had to return. Before leaving, Professor Lin also took with him a sample of soil water quality from various locations in Liujia Village.
Unconsciously the spring breeze came, blowing a hundred flowers blooming, as if overnight, the entire Liu Jiachong flowers were all blooming. All kinds of flowers bloom in the villages, on the fields, on the riverbanks, and in the mountains and forests. White pear blossoms, plum blossoms, acacia blossoms, pink peach blossoms, golden rape flowers, and red mountains that are more beautiful than the clouds in the sky.
In some of the grasses, the unknown colorful wildflowers in the bushes are also showing their fragrance, although they look small and inconspicuous, but without them, the brightness of the whole spring would also lose much of its brilliance. Bees and butterflies dance tirelessly and passionately among the flowers.
During this time, Liu Wen changed the method of making wild vegetables to eat every day, yesterday the cold salad folded ear root, this kind of wild vegetables are eaten white and tender roots, the first time the person feels a strange taste, may be a little uncomfortable, but after eating more, he feels that the more he eats, the more delicious it is.
The day before yesterday, I ate toon fried eggs, and toon also has a unique smell, but after getting used to it, I feel that the more I eat it, the more fragrant it becomes. The day before yesterday, I ate gray cabbage, blanched with boiling water and then put some sesame oil to stir-fry, there is a slight bitterness, but it has a fragrance, and it feels very good.
Liu Wen wants to go to his peach orchard today to pick some peach blossoms to make peach blossom cakes, and the peach trees should be properly thinned after flowering, so that not only will not reduce the yield, but will increase the yield of the peach trees. The method of peach blossom cake is very simple, after washing the fresh peach blossoms, the boiling water is slightly blanched and pounded into a paste, mixed with water with seventy percent glutinous rice flour and three percent flour, add some sesame oil, add a little honey, knead into a ball and then knead it into a round cake, or use a mold made of wooden boards, make a prefabricated appearance, and after steaming, it is a delicious peach blossom cake.
On the way, Liu Wen saw three bear children accepting the employment of tourists, climbing on a locust tree to pick a branch of snow-white locust flowers, and a middle-aged couple under the tree was busy picking up locust branches on the ground. Liu Jiachong's bear children have been used to climbing trees since they were children, and Liu Wen is not worried that these bear children will fall from the trees and get injured. This acacia flower doesn't look inconspicuous, but the fragrance of the flower is fragrant and refreshing. The locust peanut is very sweet to eat, and it is fragrant and sweet after being made into a locust flower cake, and the taste is really good. Liu Wen said hello to the two tourists, took a branch of locust flowers handed over by the other party, and walked towards the peach orchard while eating slowly.
"What's going on? What are you going to plant this year?" Liu Wen saw Deng Hongxia's dog baby again, driving his big buffalo to help two tourists, plowing the rented land, so he stepped forward to say hello.
"Plant a little bit of everything, and when we can't eat it ourselves, we can give it to relatives and friends!" replied Cheng Yang, a young female tourist, with a smile on her face.
This young tourist is a lover relationship, and they have come to Liu Wen's house to take Tai Sui water, and everyone knows each other. The man's name is Zhang Chi, and the woman's name is Cheng Yang, and after they saw Liujiacun's news on the Internet, they drove over by themselves.
Cheng Yang is a lively and active girl, the first time she came to Liu Jiachong, she felt fresh when she saw everything. They stayed at Deng Hongxia's house, and when they were cooking, they saw Deng Hongxia's daughter Fang Meizi helping to light the fire. As a result, there was too much firewood, and the smoke was everywhere, and he was so angry that he burst into tears, and when he heard Fang Meizi say that the stove could not put too much firewood, he immediately hurriedly pulled out more than half of the firewood, and accidentally lit the firewood next to him, and the whole kitchen almost caught fire.
Hearing that Fang Meizi was going to pick up eggs, Cheng Yang was going to follow again, and the first few empty nests successfully picked up eggs. encountered a hen who happened to be lying in the nest, Fang Meizi obviously reminded her to reach out from behind the hen's butt to touch, but Cheng Yang preferred to come from the front. Cheng Yang was pecked hard by the hen on the back of his hand and didn't give up, he had to compare with the hen to see if the other party's mouth was faster or his own hand was faster, and finally the hen was disturbed and took the initiative to move the nest, Cheng Yang compared the victory gesture and picked up the egg happily.
When Cheng Yang saw Deng Hongxia pushing the stone mill to grind beans to make tofu, he was very interested, and pulled his boyfriend to take turns to push the stone mill. When I returned on the weekend with a large bag of wild vegetables and two bottles of 500 ml Tai Sui water, I was still unwilling, and I thought I should bring a few drinking water buckets to decorate the nectar spring. After going back, I felt that Liu Jiachong was very fun, and the second week came again.
Zhang Chi and Cheng Yang were the first tourists in Liujiachong to propose to rent land, and they approached the village chief, who agreed to a contract price of 60 yuan per cent of land per year after discussion. There are 10 points per acre, which doesn't look like a lot of land, but if it's just used to grow some vegetables, it's completely enough. Next to the Changgan Reservoir, in addition to farmland, there is also a large area of wasteland, and the village chief feels that it is empty anyway, so why not collect a little rent now?
Zhang Chi and Cheng Yang are action-oriented, and in the morning they negotiated with the village chief about renting one acre of land, and in the morning they rented a dog and a buffalo at home to help plow the land.
"Dog baby, let me try it!" Cheng Yang looked at it for a while, and felt that it was quite simple, and his heart that was unwilling to be lonely was about to move again.
"All right!" replied, the dog baby pulled the cow a little embarrassed, and stopped. "One of you is holding the head of the plough on one side, and I am pulling the oxen in front. The dog baby was not at ease and came up with a compromise solution.
"Okay!" Cheng Yang, who was full of interest, pulled Zhang Chi, and one person held the head of the plow. The dog baby pulled up the cow again in front, and the two of them staggered and staggered to follow the plow handle, and the clods of soil turned up behind them were also zigzag, large and small, and they couldn't form a line at all.
In some cases, the plough slid over the weeds and did not reach it at all, and in other places it was so shallow that the weeds that had not broken their roots could quickly grow back out of the soil. Sometimes the plough handle is pressed too deeply, so that the cow can't pull at all, the dog baby has been very cooperative in front of the careful pull of the cow, from time to time back enthusiastically instructed how to operate correctly, who let the front two is their own big money owner? As long as the gold owner has fun, then accompany the play!
The dog baby's house has been less than a month since the first time to receive tourists for food and lodging, but the dog baby's face is much better-looking, slightly revealing a ruddy luster, it seems that the dog baby eats and lives with tourists during this time, and adds a lot of nutrition.
Tourists come to play, most of them are in groups, two people have 160 yuan a day, if the food is poor, can you say the past? Deng Hongxia, the mother of the dog baby, warmly received the tourists who came to the house, and when the tourists came to play again, most of them still chose to stay in their house.
With the increase in tourists, now the dog baby's house basically has to receive tourists every day, and on weekends, the three empty rooms at home are simply not enough.
Deng Hongxia thought that it was about to be spring ploughing, and the land at home should be well served, and these grains and vegetables that had not been sprayed with pesticides and fertilizers were liked by tourists. When she has time, she has to dig up some wild vegetables to sell, Deng Hongxia is reluctant to make less money, and Deng Hongxia, who is usually in charge of three meals a day for tourists, feels that she is too busy.
Deng Hongxia wanted to ask her mother's brother and daughter-in-law to come over to help her, and now her mother's life is also hard, they used to try their best to take care of themselves, and now they can repay them.
After the renovation of the mountain road outside the village at the beginning of the year, several families in the village decided not to go out to work this year, and stayed at home to farm. Later, Boss Luo set up an acquisition point at the village chief's house, and several of the migrant workers were called back by their families, and most of the remaining migrant workers were also on the sidelines after getting the news, wanting to see the situation first.
The situation in Liujiachong has gradually improved little by little, and in the past, when the farming was slack, most of the villagers relied on chatting or playing small cards to pass the time. Now there are basically no idlers in the whole village, the way to make money is in front of us, everyone sees real hope, and life is more prosperous.
Zhang Chi Chengyang's movement of pulling oxen and plowing the land attracted the attention of some tourists digging wild vegetables around, and they inquired about the land that could be rented and planted, and the price was not too expensive. The surrounding tourists were obviously excited, and a few tourists who were obviously willing and anxious turned around and ran to the village chief's house.
