Eighty-fourth: Deliver food in the field
Since being beaten by her father with a broom, Tang Qing'er is very peaceful, confined at home by the Li family, and is not allowed to go anywhere, half a month has passed like this, seeing that it is about to be planted in spring, Tang Tiezhu and Tang Tiexiong discussed planting together, the paddy field has been blistered for several days, and after a few days, the Li family and the Sun family planted rice in the field every day, and the Tang Tiezhu brothers planted budding rice on the dry land at the foot of the mountain, so that the dry land and the paddy field could be sown in time.
When the farm was busy, Sun put the tiger head and Fei'er in her house by her, Tang Qing'er cooked at home and cleaned up the house to take care of the children, and the time was about to be noon, and the father and mother did not come back to eat, so they went to the kitchen to cook and cook, Fei'er also began to be sensible after the Chinese New Year, and when she cooked, the tiger head and Jiao'er were taken care of by her.
Soon sorghum cornmeal steamed buns, fried shredded potatoes with red peppers, and radish and soybean soup were baked, Tang Qing'er put these into plates, filled two pots of water, and put them in two baskets, first went to the paddy field to deliver food to her mother and second aunt, and then went to the field at the foot of the mountain to deliver food to his father and second uncle.
Seeing her mother and second aunt bending over to plant seedlings in the paddy field barefoot, they hurriedly asked them to come over for dinner, Li and Sun planted seedlings of almost an acre of land this morning, and they couldn't straighten up when they were tired.
Sun Shi was also sweaty, panting out of the paddy field and standing on the dam, saying, "I am blessed by my sister-in-law, otherwise I would have to go home to cook now,"
Li Shi said angrily: "Your breath is so sour, don't be envious, in two more years, your Fei'er can help you with housework and help you cook,"
"Hehe, my sister-in-law still understands me," Sun took out the kettle from the basket and drank the water into the spout.
Tang Qing'er brought out the dishes, chopsticks and vegetables, and let them eat first, while she picked up another basket and went to the foot of the mountain.
Tang Qing'er smiled and said, "Not yet?" I'm afraid that you will be hungry from work, so I'll bring you food first, you and your second aunt will eat first, I'll go and deliver food to my father and second uncle, and when they eat, I'll come over to collect your dishes and chopsticks, and after these are done, I'll go home and eat with them,"
"Well," Li saw that his daughter's affairs were arranged in an orderly manner, so he didn't tell her anything anymore.
Tang Qing'er carried the basket to her father's, her father and second uncle both took their heads and planted buds in the ground, the sunlight was just blocked by the mountain, they didn't feel the spicy sunshine, Tang Qing'er stood on the dam and shouted to them to eat, the two put down the farm tools in their hands, strode in front of her, and began to pour water and drink regardless of the image, Tang Qing'er covered her mouth and snickered, while putting the meal on the table, the two were already hungry, and they devoured it after sitting down.
After Tang Qing'er got her father's hand, she said: "Dad and the second uncle eat slowly, Dad remembers that when he comes home in the evening, he will take the dishes and chopsticks home in this basket, and I will go to my mother's to clean up the dishes and chopsticks first."
"Okay, you go get busy first," Tang Tiezhu hurriedly replied, and continued to eat.
When Tang Qing'er went home, several children in the family were already looking at her at the gate, and she trotted to the door and said, "Are they all hungry?"
"Yes! Eldest sister, we are all going to starve to death, if you don't come back, we will go directly to the kitchen and eat with our hands," said Tiger Head with wide eyes and tiger head.
"Okay, okay, let's eat," she said Tang Jiao'er, who followed with the tiger's hand and went straight to the kitchen.
After the meal, Tang Qing'er coaxed Jiao'er and Hutou to sleep, and saw that Fei'er also looked sleepy, so she said: "You also sleep with them for a while, today I went to the field and saw a lot of wild vegetables on the dam, I want to dig and dig wild vegetables for a while to make wild vegetable porridge at night, you sleep with them here, I lock the door of the house from the outside, you can't get out, and outsiders can't come in,"
"Well, eldest sister, I know what to say," he said as he said angrily, and fell asleep next to the tiger's head.
Tang Qing'er saw that the three little babies in the house were falling asleep, smiled and went out to close the door, and picked up the basket that had been delivered to her mother in the morning.
Sure enough, as Tang Qing'er expected, there are a lot of wild vegetables on Tianba, such as shepherd's cabbage, bracken, mother-in-law, now is the season when Jinghuang is not connected, many people can't eat, the village baby has nothing to do and comes out in groups to dig wild vegetables to make porridge to satisfy hunger, if it wasn't for just sending food to her father, and taking a fork in the road that is not often walked, it is impossible to find this place, fortunately, no one else found this place, otherwise it would have been dug up a long time ago.
Seeing that there were a lot of wild vegetables in the dry grass, she picked up the wooden stick at hand and stabbed it, but did not find the snake, so she went down to dig with confidence, and saw that the dry grass was very obstructive, so she tore them off with her hand to facilitate her digging wild vegetables.
Tang Qing'er put it into the vegetable basket while digging wild vegetables, accidentally picked the wood behind her, slipped it, and planted it on a rotten wood, while struggling up, she looked up and saw a large piece of fresh and tender fresh mushrooms growing on the wood covered by wild grass, if it wasn't for the grass stall, she wouldn't notice it at all, and carefully broke off the large fresh mushrooms, the small fresh mushrooms that were sprouting were not picked, and they were left to pick after a while.
At this time, only the wealthy families in the town can eat green vegetables, and people like them are worthy of eating wild vegetables.
Several little babies in the family all woke up, and they were all surprised to see the wild vegetables she dug and a large piece of fresh mushrooms, and they discussed what to eat at night, Tang Qing'er didn't have any opinion when she saw the heat of their discussion, she just looked at them with a light smile.
Tang Qinger may look like a nine-year-old girl in front of her father and mother, but only she knows that she is not in front of her father and mother, she is a person who likes to listen to people but does not like to squeak.
Looking at the fresh mushrooms in front of her, Tang Qing'er suddenly thought of an idea to make money, that is, to grow fresh mushrooms to make money, most people in the town can't afford to eat green vegetables, sometimes they want to come to the mountains to pick some fresh mushrooms and go home, and make chicken stewed mushrooms This dish to eat, so the older boys in the village will go to the mountains to pick some fresh mushrooms to sell in the town when they have nothing to do, which can not only solve the problem of food and clothing, but also eat and eat.
In the previous life, when I was in biology class, the biology teacher once said: "Mushroom is a relatively lower plant fungus, it does not bloom, it cannot produce seeds, it can only produce spores to reproduce, and the spores are scattered wherever they germinate into new mushrooms, mushrooms have no chlorophyll, they cannot make nutrients, and can only use their mycelium to reach into the soil or rotten wood to absorb ready-made nutrients to maintain life." Therefore, mushrooms often grow in warm, humid and rich organic matter, and the spores fall into the soil to produce hyphae, relying on nutrient hyphae to absorb nutrients and water, and then give birth to fruiting bodies, which is what we see as mushrooms. However, the fruiting body starts small and is not easy to detect, and when it absorbs enough water, it will stretch out in a short time, and this is how mushrooms reproduce their offspring, and a wide variety of mushrooms grow every year in the mountains or fields, especially after the rain in spring, it is a good time for mushrooms to grow. ”
Now that I think about it, if I had checked more information at that time and studied the method of cultivating fresh mushrooms, I would not have no brains like this, and I suddenly remembered that fresh mushrooms can grow on rotten wood, which means that the wood can produce bacteria after decay.
Thinking so, implementation is still a problem, this matter must be carried out secretly, if it is not successful, if it is successful, you have to think about how to tell her father and mother if it succeeds.
It was slightly dark, and her father and mother came home with a tired face, Tang Qing'er saw that the two of them came back and asked, "Why didn't the second uncle and aunt come back with you?"
"Alas! Your second uncle and aunt are really stubborn, no matter how you persuade them, your second uncle and aunt won't come to eat," Li really had no choice about Sun's stubborn temper, so he was afraid of holding back the sentence: "Let's farm separately,"
"That's it, mother, you hurry up and wash with your father, and we'll have dinner in a while," he said, and went to the kitchen to bring up the wild vegetable porridge, shredded meat, fried fresh mushrooms, and cold wild vegetables.
Seeing that my father and mother have not washed yet, I went to the house of wood and stone to ask the two of them to come out to eat, after the start of class this year, both of them have changed a little, the wood is fine, the stone changes are a little big, not as often as before to play, but at home with the wood to practice writing and reading, turned around and went to her house, let Tang Fei'er hold the tiger head with her left hand and pull Jiao'er out with her right hand to eat.
Tang Qing'er looked at Fei'er and Hutou, the second aunt never took advantage of her own family, but she was still very tolerant of her children, for example, today she and her second uncle went home for dinner, and did not let the babies go back together, but let them stay here and go home after eating, it can be seen that the second aunt hopes that their brothers and sisters will get along well with their own babies and help each other when they grow up.
Li sat on the table, looked at the dish and said in surprise: "Where did the fresh mushrooms come from?"
Tang Qing'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "In the afternoon, when the younger brothers and sisters were sleeping, I went out to dig wild vegetables, and accidentally fell into the ditch, and I saw a big fresh mushroom on the wood and picked it back,"
"How are you, have you fallen,"
"Mother, what about my skin? It's spring, and it feels very good to step on the ground, and it's okay to fall," Tang Qing'er felt that her mother was making a fuss, and she didn't see her so distressed last time her father beat her with a broom.
Tang Tiezhu was tired for a day, and he didn't care if all the people at the table were complete, he began to eat a bowl of porridge, put fresh mushrooms in his mouth and said: "I haven't eaten green vegetables for a long time, this taste is so delicious," no matter how delicious the fresh mushrooms are, there is no meat fragrance, but he didn't even have a mouthful of meat to keep the babies on the table.
Qing'er noticed but didn't say it, but sat down on the table and sandwiched a piece of meat to his father, her father looked at the meat in the bowl and looked up and said with a smile: "Girl, my father doesn't like meat, this meat is not as delicious as fresh mushrooms?" You keep it for yourself. As he spoke, he sandwiched the meat into Tang Qing'er's empty bowl.
