Chapter 699: Reward for the First Exam (1/2)
As night falls
The courtyard of Zhang Feng's house was also lit up.
The family sat in the yard, chatting and peeling corn husks.
Just back home corn, the highest can peel off the outside of the corn husk, so that the corn is not easy to mold even if it encounters rainy days, and peel off the outer husk, but also more convenient to dry, reduce the drying time, according to previous experience, as long as the sun is good, as long as two or three days of effort, the corn cob can be dry.
"This corn is yes, each one is so big!"
"Yes, look at how deep its teeth are, the corn kernels are big and long, and the variety is good!"
Looking at the big corn cobs in their hands, the eldest sister and her mother couldn't help but admire, only farmers who often farm know how rare such good corn is.
Think about it in the past, if there were such good seeds, where would there be famine, every year just planting corn, not only can feed a family, but also raise a few big fat pigs, a year of small life must be extremely nourishing.
For farmers, as long as the crops grow well and the harvest is good, everyone will be at ease.
And because as the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, in the eyes of the farmers, there is food in their hands, there is no panic in their hearts, even if they encounter natural disasters, they do not have to worry about going hungry, so in the hearts of farmers, food is the fundamental matter.
"This corn is dried, it should be five or six hundred catties, right? Tsk, it's incredible that so much corn has been harvested in less than two cents!"
"Almost, there should be six or seven hundred catties, this kind of corn yield is already very high, the production capacity per mu reaches about three thousand five hundred catties, and seven or eight catties of two cents of land should not be a problem. ”
"Tut-tut, isn't it enough to feed two fat pigs?" the eldest sister asked in surprise.
Nowadays, almost no one in the countryside still eats corn rice, so the corn harvested is generally used to raise livestock.
Zhang Feng's family is not excluded, and the chickens, ducks, cats and dogs at home all need to be raised with corn.
However, raising pigs is more troublesome, and the smell is also relatively heavy, so Zhang Feng's family is not ready to raise their own pigs this year, and they can buy one at Uncle Erniu's house when the time comes.
They have more than a dozen pigs, all of which are raised on sake lees, so the quality is also very good, which is definitely much better than the feed pigs outside, and it is best for pigs back then.
……
The night sky is quiet
Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, Zhang Feng slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Brother, it's a holiday, are we going to travel somewhere?"
"Okay, Moon Lake, just go out!" Zhang Feng smiled slightly.
"Ah, brother, how can you be like this? Didn't you say it, I took the first grade in the exam, and I was given a reward?" the little girl immediately protested to Zhang Feng.
"Did I say that I went out to travel in the reward?" Zhang Feng asked as he looked at the little girl.
"Not really, but ......" the little girl was a little frustrated, and then prepared to argue.
"That's not over!" Zhang Feng didn't give the little girl a chance to argue at all, and immediately blocked her mouth.
"Ahh......h Then what reward do you want to give me?" the little girl asked Zhang Feng with anticipation.
"Reward a bowl of somen noodles, didn't you eat it at breakfast just now?"
"Brother???Are we still biological?A bowl of noodles sent me away?" The little girl suddenly didn't agree, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Feng's arm and shouted unrelentingly.
"What's wrong with a bowl of noodles? The old people in the village have a birthday, isn't it just a bowl of longevity noodles?" Zhang Feng said with a smile.
"Hmph, I don't care, either go out for a trip or buy me a tablet............"
So in the morning, the little girl was entangled with Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng had to meet her requirements.
In the end, Zhang Feng had no choice but to agree to sell her a tablet, and the little girl suddenly looked like a general who had won a battle, and she couldn't be proud.
sent the little girl away, and after a while, Yiyi walked in.
"Xiaofeng, Xiaoyue Xiaolin, let's go to the mountains to pick wild chrysanthemums?"
"Sister Yiyi, what are you doing picking wild chrysanthemums?" asked Xiao Yue curiously,
Because wild chrysanthemums are all over the mountains, as long as you go to the wild, in the fields, and on the slopes, there are a lot of them, but usually the little children pick them to play, and the adults will pick them.
"Hehe, grandpa is going to make some chrysanthemum tea!"
Chrysanthemum tea clears heat and detoxifies, similar to honeysuckle tea, Zhang Feng has also drunk chrysanthemum before, how to say, I still want to have a taste of chrysanthemum.
So a group of young people, carrying bamboo baskets, walked happily to the back mountain with their grandparents.
In summer, Qinglong Mountain is lush and green, walking on the mountain path, birds singing and flowers.
Colorful flowers compete to open, and a gust of wind blows, setting off waves of color.
In this season of mountain flowers, it is really the most industrious and favorite time for the little bees, and the little yellow bees, like beautiful elves, wander among the wild flowers, collect pollen, and brew delicious honey.
As the ancient poem says, after picking a hundred flowers into honey, it is sweet for whom it is hard.
But this is all people's own troubles, for the little bees, this is their life, is the meaning of their survival.
"Wow, butterfly, what a beautiful butterfly!"
Seeing that Satsuki was like a cute kitten, chasing the butterfly among the flowers, everyone laughed in unison.
"Xiaofeng, you kid haven't cut honey for another month, right?" Seeing the bees buzzing and flying among the flowers, the old man asked Zhang Feng with a smile.
"Oh, sir, if you don't say it, I forgot!" Zhang Feng patted his head and said with some annoyance.
Because in the summer when the honey source is abundant, the honey can be harvested once a week at the shortest, and the maximum is only half a month, if it exceeds half a month, it will be quite wasteful.
"You kid is really a tyrannical thing! Such a good nectar can be forgotten!" The old man shook his head helplessly, he really had nothing to say about Zhang Feng's laziness.
"Old man, don't worry, go back, I will cut honey when I go back, and I will send it to you when the time comes!" Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Feng hurriedly sneered.
A group of people chatted while picking wild chrysanthemums on the side of the road, the thumb-sized yellow petals, exuding a rich fragrance, no wonder it can be made into delicious chrysanthemum tea.
Due to the arrival of the summer vacation, there are more and more tourists in the village, and on the small slopes on both sides of the mountain, groups of tourists are picking wild fruits, wild mountain bubbles, red thumbs, sheep ** and so on.
At this time, the tourists are having fun, and from time to time there are bursts of exclamations from the mountain, and it seems that everyone's harvest is not small.
A group of people, while walking to enjoy the scenery on the side of the road, picking wild chrysanthemums, but it has become a bypass, everyone seems to prefer to be close to nature and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the back mountain.
