Chapter 49: Planting shallots
It turned out to be three rows, each with two vegetable patches. Although there are three rows of vegetable patches in each row, there are three vegetable patches in each row.
Mu Xiang is aware that the vegetable plot is divided into smaller ones, which is convenient for planting vegetables and easy to manage. This is a depression, and if a vegetable field is too large, it is easy to accumulate water in the middle.
Liu Erdan admired Mu Xiang more and more, and looked at what she was doing in an orderly manner.
Mu Xiang smiled and didn't answer him, but asked, "Are there many fish in the Yudai River?" ”
"Jade Belt River?" Liu Erdan wiped his sweat and looked at the flowing river, "I don't know, my father said that this river is too shallow, and the current is too big to store big fish, at most there are some small fish, and it takes a lot of trouble to catch them, but they may not be able to catch them, so no one goes to the river to catch fish." ”
Mu Xiang nodded, but she didn't believe it, when she went to wash her clothes, she had gone upstream to see, just a few hundred meters away, there was a place where the water was gentle, although she had not gone down, but according to her observation, the water should be quite deep, maybe there were big fish.
It's a pity that she doesn't know how to fish, but ......
Mu Xiang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't fish, which doesn't mean that he can't wait for the rabbit!
Liu Erdan saw her staring at Yudaihe, motionless, and was about to say something, when he heard his mother calling him. He hurriedly threw the shovel away, and was about to run in the opposite direction, and did not forget to tell Mu Xiang, don't let his mother know that he helps the Mu family work.
This kid's legs and feet are really fast, and he runs away without a trace as soon as he slips through the smoke. As soon as he walked on his front foot, Liu's chubby figure appeared outside Mu Xiang's vegetable garden, pulling his throat and his face full of unhappiness, "Mu Xiang, have you seen my second egg?" Stinky boy, as soon as he finishes eating, he will disappear, and the old lady is still counting on him to herd geese! ”
Mu Lang looked at her with a fierce look, and hid behind the eldest sister in fright, only revealing a pair of eyes, staring at Liu defensively.
Mu Xiang patted Mu Lang soothingly, shouted at Liu's family, a little angry, and his face turned cold, "Your son is gone, what is the name of coming to my house, for fear that others will not hear it, there is a big fart here, there is it, there is no no, don't you know how to watch it yourself?" ”
"You!" Liu was angry, raised his hand and pointed at Mu Xiang, and opened his mouth to scold.
"What are you? I still have to work, I don't have time to quarrel with you," Mu Xiangli ignored her, and continued to hoe the ground with a hoe.
Liu Shi gasped and suppressed the anger that rolled to his mouth, she didn't see the fight between Mu Xiang and Chen Mei'e a few days ago, but then she saw that Chen Mei'e's mouth was rotten and her wrist was also worn out, she understood that Mu Xiang was not easy to mess with, and she was forced to be anxious, so she dared to fight with you.
Liu really didn't dare to fight with her, and besides, Liu Erdan was not here, so she scolded a few words angrily, turned around and left.
Mu Xiang didn't bother to care what she thought, she crouched down to check the coriander seeds and spinach seeds that had been sown. When it really comes to autumn, in winter, these two vegetables are eaten in a hot pot, which is the best, and coriander and spinach are cold-resistant, even if it snows heavily, they will not be frozen to death. Coriander mixed with pork, dumplings are also fragrant, or steamed buns, it is also good.
So there are a lot of malt grown, two ridges of coriander, two ridges of spinach. Coriander sprouts come out slowly, but spinach comes out faster.
There is also a ridge of green garlic. The green garlic in the vegetable garden is kept as a condiment, and the green garlic planted in the garden has to be kept until the spring of next year, when the garlic grows and pickles the garlic.
In autumn, the shallots also have to be replanted, the original shallots, after a spring, a summer of growth, and many new roots, dense, not conducive to winter. I happened to be free today, and there was also a vegetable patch dug the day before yesterday, which had not yet been fertilized, but the soil was finely planed, and it was just right to plant shallots.
Muxiang first pulls out all the green onions, then squats to the side, and breaks the whole green onion, about two to three green onions, which can be used as a planted green onion root. When breaking this, you have to be careful not to break the green onion roots.
"Eldest sister, I'll help you," Mu Lang also squatted over, Heibao followed him closely, and also came up and sniffed at the green onion on the ground.
Mu Xiang was reluctant to let him do it, worried that he would damage the green onions, but after thinking about it, stopping it is not necessarily a good thing, he always wants to be separated from life, so he taught him carefully, "You watch my sister's movements, if you want to break from here, it is best to have a gap in the root, yes, that's it." ”
Mu Lang also broke two at first, looked at the broken shallots, looked up at Mu Xiang, and his little face was full of guilt.
Mu Xiang encouraged him, "It's okay, it's broken, let's cook and eat at night, well, let's make scallion buns at night and eat, it just so happens that these green onions are used, do you say okay?" ”
Mu Lang had only eaten the scallion-scented corn tortillas she had wrapped, and he had really never eaten this scallion-scented bun, but he believed in the eldest sister's craftsmanship, so he nodded vigorously and swallowed his saliva. When he learned that these green onions still existed, his courage was magnified, and the movements in his hands were also much faster.
After breaking the green onion, Mu Xiang began to plant the shallot, Mu Lang went home and got the bucket, not much strength, he carried less water, followed behind Mu Xiang, she planted a tree, he was shallow, the two cooperated tacitly, a ridge of shallots, and soon lined up.
The vegetable garden is also sprinkled with the seeds of the yellow heart black cabbage, if you want to eat it in winter, you have to dig the seeds again and transplant the small vegetable seedlings, which is conducive to the growth of the black cabbage.
After finishing the work in the vegetable garden, Mu Xiang went home and packed some corn with bamboo flats, ready to grind it, mixed with green vegetables, and fed it to the chickens at that time.
She didn't have a stone mill at home, so she had to borrow it from Wang Xi's family. Mu Xiang pondered, it was too troublesome to run back and forth like this, and she had to go to the town to buy a small stone mill back, and last time she seemed to see it sold in the town, but she didn't think to buy it for a while.
When she finished grinding the corn and went home, she quickly turned on the fire and cooked. Because I promised to eat scallion buns at night, and I also made noodles in the morning, but I didn't prepare the stuffing of the buns.
Just the shallots are not good, that is too vegetarian, steamed out of no oil and water, the buns are not delicious, just these days, the hens bought back began to lay eggs, five hens, sometimes a day can collect three, more can collect five, the least, can also collect two eggs. After saving it for a few days, I also have ten eggs at home.
She wasn't going to exchange eggs for money, so she didn't feel distressed at all when she used eggs to make dumplings.
Use eggs to make filling, you have to scramble the eggs a little first, mix in the stomped shallots, of course, when scrambling eggs, Muxiang scooped a lot of lard here, sesame oil also put a lot, otherwise the filling is too dry, and the buns will not taste fragrant.
In the morning, there are not many noodles, and the woody buns are also exquisitely made, about 30 of them.
Thinking that I wanted to thank Wang Xi, Changzhu, and Jin Ju last time, I asked Mu Lang to send some to them, which can be regarded as a gesture of gratitude.
Mu Lang stood at the door of the kitchen from the beginning of her stomping the stuffing, his eyes were almost piercing, there was no way, after the shallot was stomped and crushed, the fragrance was too strong, and there were eggs, he hadn't eaten eggs for a long time.
