Chapter 402: Centipede
ps: Thank you for the prince is a hooligan, the reward with a dream in the world, and the monthly pass for the high-speed car, as well as the highly praised ticket for dukefu!
Nowadays, there are still many vegetables in the vegetable field, among which Chinese cabbage is the most. Chu Jiaqiang originally didn't want to grow this kind of vegetable, but the second aunt said that this vegetable grows fast and can be harvested in a month or two.
Everyone came to the vegetable garden, followed by a flock of chickens, and they thought they had something to eat.
"Those beans can be retired after picking them this time." Zhou Furong looked at the beans, which hung on them sporadically, and there were not many left. It's been a long time, and when he came, he had already started picking them, and it had been three or four months.
"A lot of them can be taken off the shelves, try to collect them all today, leave a line of those tomatoes to eat by yourself, and leave a part of the others, and cut the rest!" Chu Jiaqiang said.
The second aunt was cutting cabbage, peeling off the yellowed leaves, and throwing them to the chickens that followed to peck at them. Her movements are very fast, which is admirable, and many people secretly say: It is worthy of doing farm work, and her skills are even more skilled than professionals.
"Keep these mustard greens! After drying it, make sauerkraut. Mrs. Wan spoke.
The others also nodded, this mustard greens are the best to make sauerkraut. If you fry it directly, it won't be delicious. However, many people like it in summer, because it can clear away heat like bitter melon.
Everyone worked separately, and every two or three people harvested one vegetable. Liang Yu and other girls picked tomatoes, beans, melons and so on.
That is, in places like Chujiazhai, these vegetables can still be harvested in winter. If only somewhere else, these out-of-season vegetables. All have to use greenhouse technology.
"Oops! What a big centipede! Li Quan pointed to the big centipede that was crawling on the ground and said in surprise. Looking at the centipede's countless thin feet constantly moving, my heart is a little hairy.
"I heard that centipedes can also be eaten, fat man, don't you like it very much? You've eaten a lot of those things like bee chrysalis. Liang Yu said with a smile.
Zhou Furong shook his head, he hadn't eaten a centipede, and he didn't dare to eat it if he looked like that. However, the wine brewed by the centipede has been drunk, which is very beneficial, and it is said to cure back pain. The old people especially liked these medicinal wines.
"It's not surprising, although I don't eat centipedes, I also know that centipedes can eat, and there are people outside who raise centipedes for a living. I even saw someone eating centipedes, and they had to fight with Hong Qigong on TV. Zhou Furong said.
"Eating centipedes raw? Really? Chen Xiang and other girls don't believe it, even if it is fried, it is estimated that there are not many people who dare to put it in their mouths, and they eat it raw, so what a person's strong psychological endurance. Do you have that guts?
Eating centipedes raw, Chu Jiaqiang has also heard of it. In the countryside. There are people like that. Catch the centipede, then cut the tiptoes of the centipede short, eat a mouthful of herbs first, then throw the centipede into your mouth and chew it a few times, and then take a sip of wine, as if you are enjoying it.
Although centipedes are highly poisonous, and poisonous snakes are poisons, they are also traditional Chinese medicine, which can treat rheumatism and bone pain.
The centipede was about to burrow into the dirt and try to escape. I caught a hen and swallowed it in three or two, as if to show the facts that centipedes are edible and taste good!
Put away the vegetables, Chu Jiaqiang took those mustard greens home first, and waited for the weather to clear. Take it out again to dry. The second uncle carried the vegetables out and prepared to weigh with the buyer.
"I'm going to ask that kid to drive his floor machine over and smash the floor. Remove the weeds from the ground first. Chu Jiaqiang said to Zhou Furong.
Ye Caiping and the others did not continue to help, they wanted to go to Guanyan Tower to open their doors to do business. So the work falls on a few men.
"Alas! Come here to be a farmer! Li Quan joked.
"Isn't that great? I don't do it often, so I experience it from time to time. It feels good. Chen Wu didn't care, he hadn't tried this kind of work, and he was in a good mood to do it.
Wan Lao and the others were also extremely idle, and they also helped carry tools and hoe grass. Xiaobao also followed behind to pick up grass, although his eyes were cured, but after the New Year, he still pestered the two elders and came to Chujiazhai together.
The two old men also plan to let Xiaobao stay in Chujiazhai to study. Outside, it is too late to enter kindergarten at this age. But in Chujiazhai, it is still too early to go to school at this age, and Teacher Liu suggested that Xiaobao should be allowed to go to preschool again after another year and at the age of six.
The little squirrel didn't go out either, and also helped pick up the weeds that everyone had dug up into a pile. The red panda is not far away holding a sugar cane and nibbling on it, and it loves these foods. The little tiger was running around in the ground.
The little bear originally wanted to come over to play together, but the mother bear didn't let it come over, so she took a cabbage from the cabbage harvested by Chu Jiaqiang and others and threw it to the little bear to eat and play.
"This grass has a lot of roots, you have to pick it up, otherwise it will grow again soon." Although Hong Lao has not done farm work for many years, he still remembers these common weeds.
Little squirrels are also very familiar with all kinds of weeds, such as duck grass, this kind of weed that is more difficult to exterminate, the little squirrel hangs them on the fence, or on the branches, only when they are dried, it is considered dead, otherwise it will definitely take root.
"Brother Qiang, your land is so big, what are you going to plant to make a fortune? Let's ventilate! Chu Jiacheng drove his floor machine over. With this machine, you don't have to hoe the ground manually, and it is many times faster, which is the power of science and technology, which greatly improves productivity.
"Hmmm! This piece has a total of three acres, and it is ready to be planted with small tomatoes, which you should have seen outside, so I won't explain much. The rest is planted with melons and beans. "Chu Jiaqiang has already prepared the seeds.
Melons include cucumbers, cucumbers, pumpkins, loofahs, bitter gourds, don't want winter melons, the main Chu Jiaqiang doesn't like to eat winter melons, and the second uncle has already planted them, whoever wants to go can pick them back. Legumes are nutmegs, soybeans, pods, and so on. He didn't grow many of these melons and beans, and he didn't think about planting them to sell, he just ate them himself. It is enough to sell fruits, vegetables are too troublesome, and there is too much labor.
"At this time, it is a good time to plant guara beans, and the seedlings will emerge in a few days." Chu Jiacheng finished the last puff of cigarette and began to work.
Chu Jiaqiang separated some of the weeds that everyone had dug up and threw them into the ditch for those fish and snails to eat.
"You don't have to pick up this grass." Chu Jiaqiang picked up a piece of grass, this grass reproduces quickly, but its vitality is not strong, and it will die if it is broken. In rural areas, farmers usually hoe it up and leave it on the ground to let it decompose naturally and become fertilizer for the soil.
"Whew! It's finally done. Zhou Furong wiped a handful of sweat, worked for more than an hour, and felt a little tired.
This is still the result of a large number of people, and many people are powerful! If there are one or two people, a few acres of land will have to work for most of the day, or even a whole day.
