Chapter 36: The Picnic (I)
After sowing rice, he hasn't enjoyed his leisure time, and in a blink of an eye, Qingming is approaching, and Ren Feng has a very important thing to do. That is the tea field, the temperature has warmed up for a few days, this time is the picking period of tea before the Ming Dynasty, but the construction of the tea farm has not been put on the agenda.
In the planning of the ecological park, this site was not involved, and so many things needed to be busy before, so it has been put on hold. Another very important reason is that there is no master of roasted tea! In the past, in the collective era, the roasted tea master was also invited from other places, but now after so many years, I don't know who to ask for a long time, and the roasted tea master of the year is probably not very convenient to come back now, because he was not young at that time.
And soon after that, the rape harvest was carried out, and then the rice was planted, and the series of things was too urgent. There are still not enough people, and I can't take care of the tea field for the time being, and it seems that I can't drink the new tea in my tea field this year.
The construction of pig farms, chicken farms and fish ponds is basically completed, and the operation of the equipment will be put into use after commissioning.
The most prominent discomfort reaction is Kang****, she is a girl after all, and she has no experience in rural life, and after the initial novelty has passed, she feels uncomfortable with the heavy work.
She originally chose animal science because of her love for small animals. When she was a child, her parents had to go to work, and she rarely had time to play with her, so only the family puppy kissed her. Later, the school became more and more serious, and by the time I was in junior high school, I no longer had time to take care of the family dog, and my parents did not have the time and energy to help, so they had to give it away. But in her heart, she never forgot the innocent eyes of the dog at that time.
I thought that I could deal with pets every day by studying animal science, but I didn't know that each school also had a focus, Jiangnan Agricultural University was established when the geographical location was remote, and pets were not popular at that time, so it was more focused on breeding, and pets were not considered strong.
To the green peak ecology, it is more clear that breeding, including pigs, chickens, fish, etc., although there is a gap from her original intention, but think about it in the countryside cats, dogs, rabbits and other small animals are a lot, it will not be too boring, and it is good to raise a puppy and rabbit in the dormitory in private. But it's been a month, and the livestock to be raised have not yet been seen, and every day they are busy with some cold things such as soil blocks, stones, cement, etc., and they are so tired every day that they can't wait to sleep and rest immediately when it gets dark, and they don't have the heart to raise any small pets!
The little girl's dissatisfaction was written on her face, the girl who was happy like an elf every day was gone, and the red and gorgeous red on the mountain no longer attracted her at all, and she lost her vitality with her small mouth every day. Anyone could see that she was unhappy, and of course Ren Feng could see it, but he couldn't think of how to enlighten him for a while, and he was anxious. The other two young lads, though not so obvious, lost the passion they had when they first arrived. You can't expect everyone to be Fang Xiao!
It was Zhang Shuyue who helped solve this problem.
The last time this uncle came here was purely for a vacation, because the current farm has not yet been put into use, so he has nothing to do. It's still very comfortable to live here, it's good to eat and drink, have fun and have fun, wander around, the air is good, the scenery is also pleasant, it's really a good place for health. But after saying that he would come for a few days every month, his old friend Shi Hui was already thinking about his little grandson at home and wanted to go back, although he was reluctant, he had to go back.
came over this time, but it was Shi Hui who urged him to come. It's only been less than half a month, Lao Shi is worried about this farmland again, the food is not good, and he can't sleep well. Zhang Shuyue wanted to say that if you want to go by yourself, it's not that you don't know the way, but when he thought that it was the season of several fresh dishes, he just went to Renjiazhuang to eat some original vegetables, so he made an appointment to come together.
As soon as he came, he saw that several young people were not quite right, all of them seemed to be holding their breath, speaking without emotion, listless; There is also some numbness in doing things, although it is not perfunctory, but there is no passion, and it is done silently according to the program mechanically. As a passer-by, he knew that these young people were too tired.
Doing farm work is not like sitting in the office and writing documents, there is no clear and regular weekend, you have to follow the solar terms, you are busy jumping when you are busy, and you are bored when you are free. And Ren Feng's farm is still in the construction stage, and he doesn't even have free time, plus Ren Feng and Fang Xiao are both workaholics, and others have to go crazy with them. Without Ren Feng's grand desire and Fang Xiao's strong competitiveness, it would not have been long in coming. Decompress!
He proposed that Ren Feng organize a picnic, asking not to bring any food, only some spices and simple utensils, saying that the company has been established for so long, and the employees have not gathered together for a meeting, and they do not know each other very well, so they just want to hold an activity to strengthen communication and enhance mutual trust.
Although Ren Feng felt that this proposal was very strange, he still carried it out as he requested. Picnics have long been out of fashion, and failure to do a good job of fire prevention can easily cause danger and loss (in reality, you are also reminded not to try!). )。 He thought of the most suitable place is the tea field, there is no road in other places, and the forest is deep and dense, it is easy to see the fire, it is very dangerous, only the tea field itself has cut a small road last year, the original warehouse of the tea field because it used to be a building, the ground is flat, and there is relatively little grass in the remaining bricks and tiles, which is easy to clean up and easy to prevent fire.
The time was chosen after a light rain, and this time Ren Feng called Ke Fan and them together. There are two old experts, Fang Xiao and three college students, Ke Fan, Ding family brothers and other 7, plus Ren Feng himself, a total of 14 people. These are basically the main personnel of Green Peak Ecology, in fact, the two old experts are not resident, and Fang Xiao will not be resident, she has already decided to study for a doctorate, but the resident is also counting Ren Feng's parents, so that there are 13 regular employees, 2 consultants, and Fang Xiao is a temporary consultant.
A group of 14 people walked along the path opened up by Ren Feng with a firewood knife, talking and walking, feeling the unique beauty of the deep mountains! From time to time, small animals such as pheasants and hares are alarmed and flee, and Zhang Shuyue will take this opportunity to explain the living habits and hobbies of these small animals to you in detail. He himself is an old naughty boy, his language is witty and interesting, and his explanations of these things are very professional, in-depth and simple, extending metaphors, and everyone is admiring.
arrived at the destination, under the command of Zhang Shuyue, the four brothers of the Ding family tidied up the site and set up a stove to bury the pot; Ren Feng, Ke Fan, Lu Le, Ma Yunwei and other four people picked up dead branches and leaves to make firewood; And Shi Hui and Fang Xiao took three college students to pick wild vegetables to make food.
In about half an hour, Ren Feng and their work were completed, and when they returned to the venue, they saw that Zhang Shuyue and they were basically done, and Old Man Zhang was talking to the four brothers of the Ding family. Ding Busan and Ding Busi are arguing over who is the third: "I am the third, and there are three in my name!" ”
"He's not the third, I'm not the fourth, so I'm the third!"
"I'm my brother, and I'm born heavier than him!"
"Now I'm heavier than you, I'm my brother!"
For this problem that even their parents can't figure out, others can't do it, every time they use this before, others will encourage them to fight, and then they can watch a lively show.
Of course Zhang Shuyue will not be so boring, he has always felt puzzled about this matter, today he is in high spirits, and decided to say something: "In fact, there is no need for twins to be divided into any size, siblings, brothers and brothers are the same, they are all the third!" ”
"We're all third?!" The two of them exclaimed at the same time, and then both nodded: "We are both thirds!" ”
"No, no, no, that's not a good name! Gotta change! Zhang Shuyue said again: "Ding Busan will be changed to Ding Bensan, Ding Busi will be changed to ......, changed to ......" He couldn't think of how to change it for a while!
At this time, Ren Feng happened to come over, and he casually received: "Let's change it to Ding senior!" ”
In this way, from the perspective of the glyphs of Chinese characters, the changes are not big, and in terms of meaning, it is also in line with what Zhang Shuyue said, regardless of size, the third is originally the third, and the fourth is bigger than the fourth, and it is also the third.
The Ding brothers don't think about those complicated things, but they also think that after this change, it sounds better than the original, and after that, the four brothers of the Ding family are Ding Yi, Ding Yi, Ding Bensan, and Ding Junior. As for who is the third, it really doesn't matter.
Ke Fan and a few of them also joked with them with new names, and a group of people had a good time!
As he spoke, Shi Hui and each of them came back with loot.
Shi Hui and Xie Liang each carried several kinds of blocks with vines, Fang Xiao, Zhang Yunzhe and Kang **** each carried a basket, Zhang Yunzhe's basket was a variety of wild vegetables, Kang ****'s basket was mainly a variety of mushrooms, and Fang Xiao's basket had the least and most special things, which was a tea bag.
The lumps include kudzu, wild potatoes, mountain turtles and stone monkeys, the wild vegetables in the basket mainly include bracken, toon leaves, camellia and bamboo shoots, and mushrooms are mainly fir mushrooms, but there are also different species, mostly white, and some have mung bean-like spots on them, called mung bean mushrooms, and some have gray spots on the surface, called sesame mushrooms, and so on.
Tea bag is actually a kind of leaf, that is, a special leaf on the tea tree, white, thick and curly like a tongue, fresh and crisp with a hint of sweetness when biting, very much like a fruit, but it is indeed a leaf, but it is different from other leaves, and there are very few, basically unavoidable.
The team led by Expert Shi was really extraordinary, and they found so much food to eat in such a short time. He also taught several college students to identify poisonous vegetables and poisonous mushrooms on the spot, so that these young people could gain a lot of knowledge.
When everything was ready, everyone started to make a fire and cook. Of course, those lumps are used as staple food, and after washing them, they are directly put in the pot to soak, and when the water is almost dry, they are cooked. Put a handful of wild vegetables in water, then add salt to the hot oil and mix well, it is a vegetable. Mushrooms, on the other hand, are used to make soups. Although there is nothing meaty, they are all original wild dishes, and they are cooked with modern spices, just looking at them makes people appetizing!
A group of people gathered in a circle, chewing kudzu, nibbling wild potatoes, eating various wild vegetables, drinking mushroom soup, and feeling different.
Zhang Shuyue sighed and asked Shi Hui: "Old Shi, how many years have we not eaten wild vegetables like this?"
"It's been decades!" Shi Hui replied: "I haven't bothered to do it so much before, it's good to have something to eat!" ”
"Yes, now I eat wild vegetables, which is a big fish and meat, and I am tired of eating it and changing the taste, I really couldn't think of it before!" Zhang Shuyue sighed again.
Ren Feng and Fang Xiao all knew what they meant. In those days, natural and man-made disasters caused serious famine, there was no food to eat, wild vegetables were still good, to the back, even wild vegetables had to eat, so they gnawed the bark, the bark was gnawed away, and even ate Guanyin soil, a kind of non-nutritious soil that could not be digested and excreted. They were supposed to be children at the time, and these painful experiences affected them for the rest of their lives.
