Chapter 101 Harvesting

Fee Chapter (8 points)

The basket carried by Lian Shouxin was full of tender beans, eggplants, and two emerald green cucumbers.

"Dad, where did you get this, why are there still such tender beans and eggplants?" Lian Man'er asked Lian Shouxin.

Most of the vegetables in the front and back yards of the house are out of season, and now only the half-grown cabbage, and the newly grown spinach, and then the radish and gourd are edible.

"That's for your mother." Lian Shouxin said with a smile.

"My mother opened a vegetable patch with Aunt Chunzhu outside the village, and we forgot about it." Lian Zhi'er replied for Zhang.

That was before Lian Man'er came to this world. Zhang's is an idle person, and she is afraid that the family will not collect enough vegetables to eat in the front and back yards, so she thinks that when some vegetables are out of season, she will replant some. She told Zhou, but Zhou refused, saying that the weather would be cold by that time, and the seeds and land would be wasted. The Zhou family has the final say, and the Zhang family can't help it.

It happened that there was a vacant land outside the village next to the river, so Zhang and Chunzhu's daughter-in-law opened the land together, surrounded it with tents, and planted some eggplants and beans in it. The field is next to the river and is easy to water. Zhang thought that if he put more effort and used more seeds, there would be no harvest or loss at that time. If there is a harvest, then the family will have fresh vegetables to eat by the end of autumn, which is a cost-effective thing.

As a result, when these vegetables were about to come down, Zhang's was a little moon, and everyone forgot about the land.

"Thanks to your Aunt Chunzhu, you helped us water twice. I went to see it this morning, and the harvest in that field was good, enough for us to eat. Zhang said.

"You picked a good place." Lian Shouxin said, "That piece of land is fertile." ”

The food was cooked, and the family washed their hands and faces, and then put it on the table to eat. Lian Man'er liked the tenderness of the eggplant and cucumber, fried a bowl of sauce, washed the cucumber and eggplant, and dipped it in the sauce to eat.

"Man'er, don't collect vegetables in Chapter 101 and eat that, you eat more meat." Zhang said to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er nodded. The meaty bones that I bought this time are stewed with kelp and soybeans, and the fragrance is tangy. The reason why she buys bones every time is not entirely because they are cheap, but because they add calcium to her family, especially Lian Zhi'er, Gorou and Xiaoqi, and of course herself. When they are all growing their bodies, drinking more bone broth can make them grow taller and stronger.

"Not to mention, this kelp is stewed with bones, and it's quite delicious." Even keep your word.

The family happily finished lunch, and the Zhang family didn't let Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er do anything, and they cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks by themselves.

"We can't finish the vegetables in the field, and when the frost falls, we can't eat them. I thought that while the sun was good in the past two days, we would pick up the tender ones and cut them into dried vegetables and keep them for the winter. "When the Zhang family is done, he will discuss it with everyone.

"Okay." Lian Man'er was the first to agree.

The family packed up and went out to the outside of the village.

Out of the village, there is a small stream, the stream is very clear, there is no bridge on it, but just a certain distance to put a stone, everyone stepped on the stone to cross the creek, it is the vegetable field opened by Zhang's.

Lian Man'er looked at it, this piece of land is almost five or six points, planted a few cucumbers, beans, eggplant, the tent is also crawling with sesame seeds, and the sesame ears that bear are already a little yellow, this is the sesame seeds in it are ripe.

"Man'er, Xiao Qi, you two go collect sesame seeds." Zhang saw Lian Man'er looking at those sesame seeds, so he smiled and arranged. Collecting sesame seeds here is the lightest, of course, it is Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi's.

"Hey." Even Man'er and Xiao Qi happily agreed. Sesame seeds are a good thing, you can grind them into sesame paste and sesame oil, which is quite delicious.

Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi gathered around the tent to pick sesame seeds, and Zhang and Lian Shouxin took Lian Zhi'er and Wulang into the vegetable field and began to pick the almost ripe beans and eggplants. After picking it off, he took it to the creek and cleaned the dust and dirt from it, and Zhang had already placed the vegetable mound he brought with him in an open space, cut the beans into thin strips, cut the eggplant into slices, and spread them on the curtain he brought to expose them to the scorching sun. After drying it in this way for a day or two, the water in the vegetables will be dried, and then the dried vegetables will be put into a cloth bag and stored in a cool and dry place, which can be stored until the summer of the following year.

There is no technical content in drying vegetables. But not every household does it. It depends on what kind of person the woman in charge is, whether she is diligent or lazy, whether she can live or not.

For example, even the family used to not dry vegetables. This is not because Zhou is lazy, if she wants to dry vegetables, she only needs to arrange for her son and daughter-in-law to do it, and she doesn't need to do it herself.

“…… Your grandmother used to be from a city family, and she was used to a good life, so she couldn't look down on these. Zhang's explanation goes like this. For example, even Man'er now buys meat and bones every time he goes to the market, but Zhou refuses to buy them. In Zhou's words, how much meat can be on the bones, enough for whoever eats, and if you have money, you should buy meat to eat. So now if Lian Man'er's family stews bones, they won't give it to the upper room.

The children are sensible, her body is completely well, and she can live according to her own heart, which is really comfortable. Thinking like this, Zhang felt full of strength, and the kitchen knife in his hand was lighter.

Lian Man'er watched Zhang's chopping vegetables, as if she was doing a trick, the shredded beans and eggplant slices were cut evenly and quickly, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Man'er, look at that." Lian Zhi'er smiled and said, "When you eat sauerkraut in winter, you can see that in the whole village, no one can cut it finer and faster than our mother." ”

"Mother, your knife skills are so good, do you have any tricks?" Lian Man'er felt thirsty and didn't go back to drink water, so he picked a cucumber from the vegetable field, washed it in the stream, squatted beside Zhang, and watched Zhang's chopping vegetables while eating.

"If you have any tricks, just practice more." Zhang smiled.

It wasn't until the sun turned west that Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi had collected two baskets of sesame seeds, and everyone put away the half-dried vegetables that had been dried, and put the vegetable mounds, kitchen knives and curtains into the baskets, and then they came home.

Along the way, I met people in the village and greeted Zhang.

"Good people have good rewards, look at your bones, it's okay." Someone looked at Zhang's Dao.

"This time, I owe it to my children." Zhang said.

Everyone began to praise Lian Zhi'er, Lian Man'er, Gorou and Xiao Qi again.

Walking all the way back so slowly, when he arrived at the door, Zhang's face was still smiling.

"...... tonight"

When I opened the door, I heard a commotion coming from the upper room.

"It's your eldest uncle and second uncle, who are fighting?"

Sorry for being late, the author's aunt is visiting, in all kinds of torture.
