Chapter Twenty-Four: Growing Vegetables
Zheng Haimei was in a good mood today, she ate a meal of meat last night and fried chili oil, and their family Zhihong ate very happily and praised her again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When chatting, I told Su Xiaowan and Zhang Chunxiang about it, just like this, their family Zhihong, that is, Instructor Li, went to adjust it yesterday, and after listening to his daughter-in-law say what happened, they all felt that Su Xiaowan, this girl, is a powerful person, and she must be good friends, and the husband and wife who have united the front have spent a very nourishing night (you know).
The next day, after cleaning up the things at home, I was thinking about going to see Su Xiaowan, when I heard a knock on the door, very softly, after opening the door, it was really Su Xiaowan, who welcomed people in with a smile.
As soon as Su Xiaowan saw the door open, she followed up and said, "Sister-in-law Zheng, good morning, what are you busy with at this time?"
Zheng Haimei said with a smile: "I didn't do anything early in the morning, I just did some housework and washed some clothes, our military sister-in-law, I don't have anything to do every day, and I don't have to go to work, this is not just done." I still want to go to your place and ask what you want to plant in your vegetable field, so let's go buy some seeds together. ”
As soon as Su Xiaowan heard this, someone happened to be sleepy and handed over the pillow, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law Zheng, it's really a coincidence, we want to go together, I just came, I don't know which piece of land my family shared, let alone where to buy seeds, just with you, I can save a lot of worry." ”
After saying that, the two of them decided to go to the field together, buy seeds, and plant vegetables.
At this time, many people kept their own vegetable seeds, but two people, one from the city, moved here last year, and it was almost autumn. The other is a half-hung child, and when he gets married, his purse is empty, and there are no seeds.
Not long after, the two of them came to the small market organized by the peasants not far from the troops, and bought some vegetable seeds, such as cucumbers, beans, eggplants, greens, coriander, chives, leeks, cabbage, and radish vegetables, etc., which are quite diverse, and these seeds are very cheap.
However, there are only two days a week to sell here, mainly because the purchase volume here is too small, the small market is not big, and it will be done after a while, and I see that there are small jars for sale, and I want to go home at noon, come and buy it back to use.
The two of them took the seeds and went to the vegetable field, the area was very small, and the family was only fifty square meters, and when it arrived, both of them were dumbfounded, how to plant, there was not even a tool.
Zheng Haimei looked at Su Xiaowan and said, "Brother and sister, I haven't grown vegetables either, you have to teach me, I can count on you." ”
Su Xiaowan was also embarrassed, she had a shadow in her memory, and she hadn't practiced it herself, but she still stubbornly said: "Look at my memory, we have to turn over the ground before we can plant it, sister-in-law Zheng, do you have a shovel at home?"
Zheng Haimei didn't understand either, but she saw in a blink of an eye that Wang Hong, who was not far from them, belonged to Company Commander Zhang's family, so the two went over to say hello very warmly.
Wang Hong was very nervous when she saw Zheng Haimei and them coming, she knew Zheng Haimei, but she hadn't seen the good-looking little girl next to her, guessing that it might be the sister-in-law of Deputy Battalion Commander Han's family that everyone talked about in the past two days.
When we got closer, I saw a little thin, not too tall, with a slightly yellow face, Wang Hong, standing there timidly, still a little nervous when he saw us coming, and a little boy of three or four years old was sitting in the vegetable patch and playing.
Zheng Haimei frowned when she saw Wang Hong like this, but soon smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Wang, you're busy, I see that your land is almost finished, and your work is really neat, let me introduce you, this is Su Xiaowan, Deputy Battalion Commander Han's family." ”
Later, he introduced to Su Xiaowan: "This is Wang Hong, Wang's sister-in-law, who belongs to Company Commander Zhang's family, and lives on the fourth floor in the same building as us." ”
Su Xiaowan greeted warmly: "Hello sister-in-law Wang, we just bought some seeds from the small market, by the way, take a look at the vegetable field, you can move fast enough, and you will finish turning the ground." ”
Wang Hong said a little shyly: "Oh, I turned it early, I just wanted to plant it early, I could eat it early, the vegetable seedlings at home are almost raised, and they are starting to grow teeth."
As soon as Su Xiaowan heard it, this kind of vegetable still needs to be raised first, and forgot about it, and then Zheng Haimei and Su Xiaowan were very sincere in asking for vegetable planting skills, Wang Hong, from the nervousness at the beginning, to the later said it was quite smooth, and the two of them quit and went home after learning the knowledge of planting vegetables, so as to prepare tools to turn the ground.
But halfway through, Su Xiaowan said goodbye to Zheng Haimei, went to the small market alone, and bought the small jar, which was 30cm high and 10cm in diameter, which was not bad, and it cost 3 yuan, and I was distressed.
I bought some chili powder and bought three Chinese cabbages, at this time, almost all of them were hidden last winter, and the leaves were a little dry outside, but it didn't matter, it was not bad to eat, and I bought a little leeks, which was the first leeks, and it was not very high.
I looked around the market and didn't find any fruits, eh, this season, in this era, fruits are rare.
I took these and went home, changed my shoes, put everything in the kitchen, and when I came out, I found that the shoes were too inconvenient to wear, so I took scissors and cut the worn shoes into slippers.
Although it doesn't look good, it's easy to wear and looks very satisfying, so let's leave it like this for now.
When I got to the kitchen, I processed the big bones I bought yesterday, made a bone broth to drink, and steamed some rice, she is now growing her body, and her nutrition has to keep up, bone broth supplements calcium, and there are a lot of nutrients, which is the best for her now, although she is 18 years old, but she can still grow tall, and she has to work hard for that little centimeter.
After lunch, I rested for a while, took a nap, and when I woke up, I started to get busy again, changing the water from the soybeans I soaked yesterday, and then continued to soak them. After that, I cleaned up the small jar I bought today, washed it, and dried the water.
Peel off the yellow coat of the cabbage you bought, wash it, cut it in half with a knife, and then make up another knife for each half, so that a Chinese cabbage will be decomposed into four small parts, a total of two cabbages are cut, and eight small parts of the cut are cut, and the leaves of each part are wiped with salt a little bit, and they are placed in the jar to marinate for a day.
When I'm done with these, my back hurts, and this season is really green, so I have to make some small pickles to eat.
Eh, I can know this, thanks to the good wife and mother I did in my last life, because I was busy a lot of the time, but I still remember what my mother once said, to capture a man's heart, you must first grasp a man's stomach, and later, also because I like to eat, and then there is the debt of not having time to accompany Yuan Kai, I went to a special chef class, learned a good cook, and when I spent the most time at home, I was cooking.
Therefore, it is difficult for her to make these home-cooked side dishes. When I was done with these, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and my own vegetable seeds had not yet been raised, although I listened to Wang Hong's guidance, but I was still afraid that I would not be able to grasp it well.
