Chapter 121: Melon Peel Feeds the Chickens
The villagers went home one after another, and when they left, each family brought a watermelon back, and Canghai He'an and Shi Wei began to clean up the kitchen.
Ping'an led the ugly donkey back to the livestock shed, and Canghai took out all the melon seeds, put them in the basin and began to wash the melon seeds, ready to wash off the soil and sticky melon juice on the melon seeds, wash them and add the ingredients to boil, take them out and dry them and prepare to fry them in the pot.
Shi Wei held the plate and put all the watermelon rinds thrown down by the big guy on the table into the basin.
"What about the melon skin?" Shi Wei was carrying a large pot full of melon skin, first, she didn't know where to throw it, and second, it was a little difficult to hold such a big pot with her strength.
Canghai turned his head to look at it, took his hand out of the basin, pulled a towel to wipe his hands, and then walked to the edge of the table and picked up the melon skin basin: "This east wants to be used to feed the chickens and pigs, it's a pity to throw it away in vain."
Shi Wei saw Canghai holding the basin alone, so she also stretched out her hand to grab one side of the basin, so the basin changed from one person to two people.
The two carried the melon pot to the side of the chicken coop, Canghai signaled Shi Wei to let go, and he took the melon pot and splashed the melon skin in front of him.
"Duh...... Duh...... Duh!" Shi Wei softly called up the chickens.
The chickens of the Canghai family are now free-range, and they don't close the door of the chicken coop even at night, so now this group of chickens can be said to be running all over the ground, but when they heard Shi Wei's aggressive call, they immediately ran towards Shi Wei's side.
The nearest chicken arrived first, and immediately found the watermelon skin on the ground, pecked it quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire watermelon skin was surrounded by chickens.
"Chickens seem to like watermelon rinds" Shi Wei saw that every chicken was eating happily, so she turned her head to Canghai and said.
Canghai smiled: "That's for sure!"
After speaking, he looked at his chickens and said with satisfaction: "These chickens will be edible in a few days, and you will have to go to the town to buy a chicken in the future."
Just as Canghai spoke, a few pigs in the family also ran over with a trot, and a few black soil pigs squeezed the chickens away with their heads while humming, and grabbed the best position with a big body, hanging their heads and munching on the melon skin in the chickens.
Chickens eat melon skins are pecked, pigs are bitten directly, a piece of melon skin to their mouths without a few bites into the stomach, after eating a piece immediately stretched out their heads and arched another piece.
At this moment, the geese in Canghai's house didn't know where they came from, and joined the team to grab food, and the door of the entire chicken coop suddenly became lively, and the chickens and geese crowed and then hummed with pigs, and immediately a strong pastoral atmosphere came out.
"Wow, they're too edible" Shi Wei went down with a large pot of watermelons, and in just a while, a third of them were eaten, and she couldn't help but sigh.
Canghai said with a smile: "If you don't eat quickly, you have to be hungry, how can these guys not rush to eat?"
These poultry in Canghai's family are almost not fed much food now, that is, once a day, this is still Canghai is not willing to eat the food that has been plagued by rats, if there is no stubble, Canghai will not be fed.
"Feed less, I can't eat enough every day" Shi Wei also thought of this stubble, so she said to Canghai: "You are really a little family, you are reluctant to feed the grain, Uncle Wei feeds it twice a day, each time it is a small pot, and you have two or three bowls of it here, you see how hungry they are!"
"You don't understand this, if I used to feed it, but this year is different, you see that the mountains are full of grass, the grass is full of insects, as long as you are willing to work hard where you can't mix a full, these things if you feed them all the time, they won't look for food, I feed them so to save food, and second, I also exercised them, so that it is not to save food, but to make their meat more delicious, or how to say that free-range chickens are expensive."
Canghai found a good reason for himself with one mouth.
Shi Wei didn't believe it, she really knew Canghai too well, and when she heard this, she pouted and didn't answer Canghuo's words.
Canghai picked up the basin and patted it, slapped the pieces of melon skin in the basin on the ground, and then said to Shi Wei: "Let's go, let's go back, and wait for tomorrow to eat fried watermelon seeds."
"Why is this thing going to be fried for a day tomorrow?" Shi Wei turned around and followed Canghai up the slope.
"This thing has to be boiled first, and then dried after cooking, and dried the water outside before it can be fried, the process is quite time-consuming, forget it, it's useless to talk to you now, and you'll know when I fry it......" Canghai said while carrying the basin to the house.
When he arrived at the kitchen at home, Ping'an had already stood next to the sink and took over the washing of the melon seeds, and he saw that his rack-type melon seeds had been almost washed.
Canghai likes peace, there is work in his eyes, unlike many people who belong to donkeys, they don't move, and they don't know what to do in front of them, so they don't know until others open their mouths.
Wash the melon seeds safely, Canghai here is to prepare the ingredients for boiling melon seeds, like what kind of pepper, star anise, cinnamon and the like are all put into a small bowl, waiting for Ping An to wash the melon seeds, let Ping An burn the pot, Canghai is to pour the washed melon seeds and spices into the pot together, add some water and cover the pot and start to cook the melon seeds.
"How are the melons in the melon field?" Canghai asked.
So many people Canghai didn't come to ask urgently, but now there are only people left, so Canghai opened his mouth to ask about the situation in the melon field.
Ping'an said while boiling the pot: "It's not too ripe now, but at most, this melon can be almost half ripe in ten days."
Shi Wei listened to it next to her, and asked casually: "Is the watermelon sold when it is ripe?"
"This melon will be sold only when it is ripe, as long as it is not cut, it can be placed for a month," Canghai said.
These things are not introduced by the sea, but the Tree of Life, which is like an encyclopedia for the plants under its control, and the watermelon is not qualified to get out of its control.
"Then when are you going to sell melons?" Shi Wei asked.
Canghai didn't think about it and replied directly: "Next week, next Thursday, pick melons, and then transport them to the magic capital to sell, by the way, it may take two or three weeks or even a month to go to the magic capital next week, you are safe at home, help take care of these things at home, it's also very simple, don't let the beast steal the chickens at home, the rest doesn't matter."
After thinking about it for a while, Canghai said to Shi Wei: "Forget, there is one more thing to trouble you, you can also help keep an eye on the two kilns at home and two of the bathrooms, the materials are just right, you have to let them be finer when they are building."
Shi Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know, I have also stared at the decoration, anyway, don't you have a layout plan there, when the time comes, I will look at it according to the above requirements, if it really doesn't work, I will let Li Fang come and keep an eye on it, he will always understand this line."
"Okay!" Canghai listened to Shi Wei and nodded with satisfaction.
"Can we sell this melon well when it comes to the devil?" Ping An was a little worried.
Canghai said confidently: "What's not to sell?
"It's delicious, it's delicious, but our melon is too big, a family can't eat it, even if it's two families, they have to eat it together, just a family of three or four people in the city, this melon has to be eaten for three days," Ping An said.
Canghai smiled and said, "Boy, do you think of this?"
Ping An scratched his cheeks embarrassedly when he heard this: "Second brother, this is not what I said, I heard the third grandmother say it when I came back."
Canghai laughed and said: "It's okay, if you can't eat it, can we cut it and sell it, I'm going to contact the supermarket after I go to the magic capital, I estimate that they will be interested in such a good melon, if it doesn't work, I'm going to go to the street to set up a stall to sell, I don't believe that we can't sell such a good melon!"
Now I am full of confidence in my own watermelon Canghai, and I feel that my own melon is more than ten yuan more expensive than ordinary melons, which is really trivial.
Shi Wei looked at Canghai and said, "How many melons are you going to take to the Demon Capital at the beginning?"
"Take away the cooked ones, what are you doing at home, if you want to eat them, wait for two days to pick them yourself, you can't all the villagers pick them, I won't let you eat, right?" Cang Haile said happily.
The couple was chatting in the kitchen, when suddenly a chicken flew by the kitchen with its wings.
Canghai inadvertently raised his head, saw the chicken flying over and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Second Grandma Li's chicken is really fat!"
Shi Wei asked, "How do you know that this is Grandma Li's chicken?"
The chicken flew over quite quickly, and Shi Wei flew past in front of her eyes before she could see the chicken clearly.
Ping'an, the kid, also saw it clearly, and opened his mouth and said: "Each chicken has a mark, and Grandma Li's is lit with a red potion on her back, and you can know it at a glance."
"Fat chicken, I really want to kill it and fry it," Canghai said with his eyes on the back of the chicken flying over.
Canghai's chickens got rid of a small part, most of them were killed last year, the rest are old hens, and there are a few big roosters, although Canghai wants to eat, but can't do this. The villagers are different at home, they have a lot of adult chickens at home, and almost every family has hatched some chicks in the autumn, and now this is the time when the chickens grow up.
It's not that Canghai's family doesn't have chickens to eat, Canghai has also bought chickens from the town these days, but those chickens taste different from the chickens in the village, although they are all local chickens, and they are all raised in the countryside, but in Canghai's feeling, it is always worse than the chickens in the village, let alone compared with Canghai's own chickens.
Canghai looked at the chicken and sighed, but he didn't find a small figure sneaking out.
