Chapter 20 Buying melon seeds
At six o'clock, Li Jiahao got up as usual, and when he opened the window, he saw a white and big fog in front of him. The surrounding mountains, houses, and trees were all covered with a light veil, and the breeze was blowing, and the fog was slowly moving, like a girl dancing in the sky.
Li Jiahao practiced Tai Chi for a while, and then went to the pond behind the house to look, he saw that the fish in the pond that had not been seen for a few days not only increased but also grew up a lot, and saw a big fish swimming around, so happy. Li Jiahao then carried two more buckets of spiritual water and poured them into the pond, and the fish in this pond grew really fast after drinking their own spiritual water. In a few days, I should clean up the pond and buy some fish fry in the pond.
It will be a few days before he buys fish fry, and he is going to buy melon seeds today, preparing to plant watermelons, melons, vegetables and melons. This is his Li Jiahao's favorite melon, so he can't help but do this, think about when he was a child, I don't know how many melons and fruits I ate in a summer, since I went to work in City B, I have eaten fewer of these, because these melons and fruits are so expensive in City B, he is reluctant to buy and eat often.
As soon as he wanted to walk away, he ran over a little bit, screaming "chirping", not thinking that he was hungry, and wanted Li Jiahao to take the bamboo shoots in the space for himself to eat. Li Jiahao picked up Xiao Diandian, patted Xiao Dian's head and said, "You little thing, you are getting lazier and lazier, and you don't look for food yourself, so you know that you come to me." ”
Xiao Dian lay comfortably in Li Jiahao's arms, it didn't care what Li Jiahao said, anyway, he just wanted to eat, seeing that Li Jiahao didn't immediately take the bamboo shoots to himself, he began to "chirp" again, and the voice was louder than just now, Li Jiahao had no choice but to obediently take a big bamboo shoot for Xiao Dian, which made Xiao Diandian quiet.
When I walked to the yard, I saw the baby elephant sleeping in the former cattle pen and fell asleep peacefully. Li Jiahao walked over cautiously, the little elephant was awakened, saw that it was Li Jiahao coming, signaled to get up, kicked on all fours, shook his body with all his strength, and finally got up and stood up with difficulty. Seeing that the little elephant was able to stand up, Li Jiahao felt so cool in his heart, this is his own credit.
Thinking that today I must go to the street to buy more milk powder for the baby elephant to come back, drink a few days of milk powder and the baby elephant can eat tender grass by itself, it is good to have a baby elephant at home, and you can ride an elephant when you grow up in the future. Thinking that Fuxian Bodhisattva is a six-tusked elephant riding, and he will be treated with the Bodhisattva in the future, how can it feel cool. It's okay to yo-yo the dog after dinner in the city, and you can yo-yo the elephant in the future, that majesty is really great. Thinking of this, Li Jiahao smiled unconsciously.
I mixed some milk powder for the baby elephant and put it in the bowl, watching the baby elephant drink the "click" sound, Li Jiahao was very happy. Finally, he poured a little spiritual water from the space for the baby elephant to drink, he thought that the spiritual water could promote the growth of plants anyway, maybe it would be good for animals.
After feeding the baby elephant, Li Jiahao walked straight into the kitchen, and saw the purslane dead dough cake made by his grandmother on the board, and the strong aroma came to his face, Li Jiahao took it out and took a bite, fragrant with a little sourness.
Purslane is also known as longevity cabbage, celandine, horse leaf vegetables, five elements grass, Anle vegetables, purslane, horse fine vegetables, sour rice vegetables, longevity vegetables, hemp seeds, horse sweat, horse sweat, hemp lettuce. The main functions are: clearing heat and detoxifying, diluting water and removing dampness, dispersing blood and reducing swelling, removing dust and sterilization, reducing inflammation and relieving pain, stopping bleeding and cooling blood. It is mainly used to treat dysentery, enteritis, nephritis, postpartum ** bleeding, hematochezia, mastitis and other diseases.
The method of purslane dead dough cake is: wash the purslane, put the flour in a basin, and calculate how much flour to put according to the population of your own family. Finely chop purslane and flour together. Beat three or four more eggs, add salt, five-spice powder and other condiments to start mixing. The dough should not be too thin, nor too hard. After the noodles are reconciled, put them there and let them rest for 10 minutes, and the noodles that have woken up are strong. Then add some water to the pot and bring to a boil. Take out a little bit of the noodles in the pot, put it in your hand to form a ball, pat it flat with both palms facing each other, and finally stick it on the edge of the pot, after the pot is full, cover the pot and start to burn the fire. This fire can't be burned too big, it must be burned evenly, and it can be eaten after a few minutes, one side is browned and burned, the taste is really crispy and delicious, and the aftertaste is endless.
Grandma and the third aunt fried sour cabbage again, cooked millet porridge, and some stuffed beans.
After eating, Li Jiahao was going to buy melon seeds, Li Jiahui went to school, and his grandfather, third uncle and third aunt were ready to go to the land to plant melons.
Li Jiahao walked to his room, threw Xiao Diandian and the money turtle in the space, took the money and prepared to go to the street.
After nearly two hours of driving, I finally arrived on the street. Li Jiahao looked left and right, but he didn't find a place to sell melon seeds, and finally asked an old man in his forties to know that there was a place to sell melon seeds at the corner of West Street.
Seeing the words "Sweet and Sweet" melon seed store, Li Jiahao walked in without saying a word. He was greeted by an old man in his fifties, who smiled and said, "Young man, what are you buying?" ”
"Uncle, I buy watermelon seeds, melon seeds, melon seeds, vegetable melon seeds and noodle melon seeds." Li Jiahao said with a smile.
"Young man, do you buy so much?" The old man asked with a smile and confusion.
"Yes, I have to buy all of these, and I am going to grow and eat them myself, not sell them." Li Jiahao said with a smile.
"Then you've come to the right place, our store is the most complete." The old man said with a smile.
After buying melon seeds and paying for them, Li Jiahao left directly, he didn't need to ask how the melon seeds germinated, because he had watched his grandfather and third uncle do it for so many years, and he knew it.
Li Jiahao walked to another flower and bird market, and there were all kinds of birds barking everywhere, and many different kinds of dogs barking. There are also people selling pheasants in front of some stalls, and they see that the pheasants are domestic. The whole flower and bird market is so unhappy.
Suddenly, Li Jiahao saw a young man in his twenties who was very similar to his elementary school classmates, but he was not sure if it was not, Li Jiahao did not dare to greet him, so he walked over. I saw a dark-skinned man selling Tibetan mastiff cubs, the young man was in his early twenties, but because of his work in the countryside, he looked a little older, one meter six or eight tall, dark and firm-skinned. The muscles in his arms swayed as if they were about to fly out.
I saw a few Tibetan mastiffs in front of me, this Tibetan mastiff is relatively pure, and many Tibetan mastiffs are impure now. XZ Mastiff, XZ Mastiff, Mastiff, Fangou, Dragon Dog, XZ Mastiff, Tibetan Dog, Qiang Dog, Cangyi Dog. It is a tall, fierce, lop-eared fierce dog. The surname Ge is resolute, powerful and fierce, and the wild surname still exists, which makes people daunting. Territorial protection, food protection, good at attacking, strongly hostile to strangers, but extremely affectionate to the owner. It is a right-hand man who cares for the family and cares for the home, herds horses and sheep.
In fact, Li Jiahao has always wanted a puppy, he has liked dogs since he was a child, and he remembers that when he was a child, he raised a small earth dog, unfortunately fell into the cliff and died, Li Jiahao was sad for several days. He doesn't like cats very much, because when he was young, he naughtily pulled the cat's beard, and was scratched by the cat several times, and now he still has a kind of fear of cats.
Seeing the Tibetan mastiff in front of him, and it was still so purebred, Li Jiahao really wanted to buy one back, anyway, he would move to the old house immediately, and it was good to have enough to protect the family at home, although they did not close their doors at night in Litang Village.
"Boss, how can this little Tibetan mastiff be sold?" Li Jiahao pointed to the little Tibetan mastiff cub in front of him and said.
"This is a rusty red Tibetan mastiff cub, the small one is 1,500 yuan, and the big one is 2,000 yuan. This is our own mastiff cub, and we all sell it cheaply. The owner of the Tibetan mastiff cub said.
"Okay, it's not expensive, it's very pure." Li Jiahao said with a smile.
"You look like a classmate of mine in elementary school, what is your name?" The owner of the Tibetan mastiff seller said.
"I also feel that we knew each other before, my name is Li Jiahao, may I ask you?" Li Jiahao said with a smile.
"Li Jiahao, yes, I have a classmate named Li Jiahao, may I ask what village you are from?" The owner of the Tibetan mastiff seller then asked.
"I'm from Litang Village." Li Jiahao said.
"Oh, yes, Li Jiahao, I'm your classmate Sun Erniu, and I'm from Daiqiao Village. You used to be in front of me, and I copied you every time I took the exam, do you remember me? Sun Erniu patted Li Jiahao's shoulder and said.
"Yes, yes, I remembered, Sun Erniu, are you okay now?" Li Jiahao also patted Sun Erniu's shoulder and said.
"Let's go, go to my house, I still have a few little Tibetan mastiffs at home, go to my house and choose whatever you want." Sun Erniu hurriedly cleaned up the stall and pulled Li Jiahao to set off, but before Li Jiahao could react, Sun Erniu was dragged onto Sun Erniu's truck.
"Knowing the old people in a foreign country", what a happy thing this is, Li Jiahao sat in the car with a smile and chatted with Sun Erniu about the past.
