Chapter 272: Planting Lotus Roots
Today's dinner at Liu Yi's house was very lively, because Liu Yi, a 50-person tourist who came here, was going to invite them to a big meal, plus the 5 tables that were originally going to be seated, and now there are 10 tables. Fortunately, the various ingredients usually prepared at home are relatively abundant, otherwise it would be really enough for Liu Yi to have a headache.
But since Liu Yi came home from the orchard and told his family about this decision, he himself has hardly stopped, there is so much food, but every dish needs someone to cook, and this meal at night can only watch Liu Yi show his skills.
Just like everyone who eats the dishes made by Liu Yi's house for the first time, they all show a surprised look, and these people from the old association who came over today are no exception.
When they first saw a large table full of dishes, they also felt that there were too many meals made in the countryside, which was a bit wasteful, but when they ate the dishes they liked, they didn't have time to think about these things, and devoted themselves to the food on the table.
A not very rich dinner made everyone's round stomachs, and the tourists who came here were all elderly people, and it was very funny to see each other and point to each other, and then look at each other and laugh.
"Gee, I haven't had so much dinner in a long time!"
"I'm not the same, at first I thought we could finish so many meals on the table, but the last few tables we came to were all eaten, and the last one was the young man who brought some of the food on their table."
"Look, when did I bring my anorexic grandson here, and after eating this kind of food, see if he is still picky eater?"
"When can you go back and bring some of these vegetables back soon!"
"It's so full. How can we get by eating like this every day, will we gain weight? ”
"Yes, yes, eating so much every day to gain weight affects your health!"
“……”
Liu Yi laughed when he heard that the tourists chatting in the living room or in the courtyard were talking about the deliciousness of vegetables and some worries, but since others had doubts, Liu Yi still had to answer patiently: "Auntie, don't worry, no matter how many vegetables you have, you won't get fat, but it will be better to eat them for a long time. ”
"Koyanagi, really. Do your vegetables have such a miraculous effect? An aunt asked incredulously.
"These vegetables are new varieties. After the inspection of the relevant departments of Chengnan District, I still have a quality inspection report here, which has a lot more trace elements that are beneficial to the body than ordinary vegetables, and many less harmful elements! Today you spent half a day in the orchard. Tomorrow I have time to go to our village vegetable base to have a look! Liu Yi suggested later.
"Good. All right. Then tomorrow we will go up to visit the vegetable base first, and then go to pick wild vegetables after we are done, what do you say? "It seems that they have already planned for tomorrow. Now, after Liu Yi said this, an aunt immediately proposed to change the schedule.
The whole meal became familiar to everyone, and the tourists who came here praised Liu Yi's generosity, and they did not expect that Liu Yi would invite them to such a unique dinner for free, so that they were full of curiosity and anticipation for the food in the village.
After a break for dinner, the uncle arranged for everyone to live in the villagers' homes, and the villagers knew that the tourists who came here this time would be the last month or even the last year, and they took the initiative to go to Liu Yi's courtyard after dinner to greet these tourists, and saw those enthusiastic villagers, and the tourists who also came here were moved.
It was night, sending off the tourists, Liu Yi and the uncle's family did not leave a single person, and the small courtyard was quiet under the shroud of night. Today's Zeng Liyang still did not return to school, after his repeated requests, Liu Yi still took him in, and handed over the entire network of the mountain village to him to manage, and the same is true for the wireless base station in the future, which made Zeng Liyang very surprised.
In the early morning, he didn't need Liu Yi to ask Zeng Liyang to get up, he could be woken up by the thick crowing of the rooster King Kong, and when he was woken up, he couldn't help complaining to Liu Yi: "Brother Liu, what kind of pets are you in your family, all of them are either too weird or too smart, how can you make us embarrassed without pets!" ”
"If you are less poor, you should hurry up if you want to run today." Liu Yi teased the mink on his shoulder while arranging his sweatshirt.
When Liu Yi and the others had just run not far away, Liu Yi was surprised to find that the crowd of people running today had increased again, and some of the elderly tourists who came here yesterday also joined in the morning exercise. However, Liu Yi nodded to them and said hello and quickly ran to the front, and the only thing that could keep up with him was the dog army that was close to him.
"Young man, that little willow has run away, why are you running with our old man slowly?" Old man Sun led a group of 10 old men, leaving a group of girls and ladies behind.
"You don't know the way, we don't have anyone here to compete with him, that's just self-inflicted humiliation!" After Zeng Liyang was told by Liu Songtao on the first day, he won't run with Liu Yi today.
……
After the morning exercise, these tourists are free to move, and each project on Liu Yi's side also has its own manpower, so there is basically nothing for Liu Yi to worry about.
But there was one thing that piqued his interest today, and that was planting lotus roots.
There is a flat terraced field above the reservoir, each of which has a large paddy field of several acres of land, because there are not many farmers in the village now, so it has been abandoned now, originally this year, the farmers who have paddy fields see a lot of tourists and are ready to plant rice in the paddy fields, but Liu Yi came to the door to rent the paddy fields at a high price.
His plan is very simple, below is the reservoir, above the paddy field is planted with a lotus root, as long as the summer when the lotus leaves grow that kind of scenery is needless to say, the lotus leaves drag the pink lotus flowers, leaning on the green hills next to it, according to the reservoir below, one word "beautiful", two words "too beautiful", three words is "really beautiful"!
Liu Yi simply rented all this paddy field and barren slope land, and handed over the purchase of lotus root seeds from the paddy field to his uncle to deal with, and today they have gone to the town to buy lotus root seeds, and they will come back soon.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Liu Yi was not idle at home, the paddy field had already been taken care of, and the silt in the field was turned over with a micro-cultivator, and then Liu Yi went to the roadside courtyard to move a few fields of fertilizer, and slowly spread evenly next to the paddy field, everything was ready only to owe lotus roots.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the lotus root is coming, don't break it!" My uncle used a plate cart to pull a few baskets of lotus root seeds and walked slowly to this side, the road has not yet been repaired here, and my uncle can only use a plate cart to drag it over.
"Wow, the lotus root has arrived!" (To be continued......)
