Chapter 55: Greens in Winter
Autumn and winter is a harvest season, and it is also the season when the mountains are full of wild fruits, many villagers in Fangjia Village have heard that Fang Jing's family is going to harvest some wild fruits, and they collectively go out to pick wild fruits; Fang Jing wanted to make some wild fruit brew, and also wanted the villagers to earn a few copper coins, so the village told the villagers that wild fruits cost a pound, how many you want, of course, there is a limit, at most about 10,000 catties, not that I don't want to charge more, mainly because there is no place to put it, and I am afraid that the few clay jars bought at home are not enough.
When the villagers went to harvest wild fruits, Fang Jing's family was harvesting rice, but they didn't have time to pick fruits, four acres of rice fields, so that Fang Jing's family harvested nearly 1,800 catties of rice, which made Chen Erlin and his wife smile so much that they couldn't stop talking, this is something that has never happened, no one of them could have imagined that four acres of land produced 1,800 catties of grain, which has never happened.
In fact, these four acres of land can produce so much grain, which is to blame Fang Jing for asking the gods for some fertilizer, otherwise this newly opened up land, can not produce so much, put in the previous life, these four acres of land together is only more than two acres of field area, how can it be more than twice as much as qualified, of course, this has to be counted as high-grade rice.
In the era of no fertilizer and no good seeds, so much grain can be produced, which really makes Chen Erlin's family believe in the method taught by Fang Jing, as long as there is fertilizer in the field and proper management, a lot of grain can be produced.
After Fang Jing's family harvested the rice, they stayed at home to collect the wild fruits of the villagers, of course, it was impossible for Fang Jing to stay at home, he still needed to go into the mountains, protect large animals at any time, or emergencies, these ten days, but Fang Jing was tired enough, full of wild fruits, and told the villagers that they couldn't collect it, which will end the action of harvesting wild fruits, and began to brew wild fruits at home. But I really can't let it go.
The right house, the back room, the stove room, and the bamboo house are full of fruits, and there is almost no place to put their feet, which also makes Fang Jing speed up the process of making wild fruit brewing, and asks her aunt and aunt Xiu to come over to help make it, so that all the wild fruits are finished, and sixteen jars of wild fruit pulp are made, and they are waiting for fermentation after the secret hexagram is completed.
In winter, for Fangjia Village, it was really cold, but for Fang Jing's family, it was much better, Fang Jing asked the gods for some cotton, and let her aunt sew it in her clothes and pants, although she was a little bloated in her clothes, but she kept warm, as long as she was warm, it didn't matter what kind of ball he was fat.
The first snow fell quietly in Fangjia Village, everyone who woke up in the morning, looking at a piece of snow half a foot thick in the courtyard, a little silly, yesterday was fine, this morning was full of snow, Dachu held some hay, put it into the bamboo shed of the little goat, so that the little goat can also eat some hay, Xiong Er's bamboo shed is open, and it has never been closed, mainly because Xiong Er is familiar with this home, and he can't drive away, at this time Xiong Er is hiding in the corner of the bamboo shed to sleep, such a big snow, such a cold day, It is estimated that only furry animals can withstand the cold.
"Brother, it's so cold, it's snowing so hard." Fang Yuan, who had just gotten up, walked out of the house, stood in the courtyard, saw the ice and snow all over the ground, and craned his neck to look at his brother.
"Well, the snow is really big, if it's cold, go to the stove room to burn the fire, or go into the back room to stay, you can't run around this day, you see Xiong Er knows that the weather doesn't go out to play." Fang Jing glanced down, looking at the appearance of this little person, he felt a bit like a little fat bear, and it was estimated that only his aunt would wear the little babies' clothes thickly.
The world is covered in silver, the mountains and forests in the distance are hung with edelweiss, covering all the original green, looking at it, in addition to white is white, human eyes can not see a color for a long time, otherwise it should be hurt, and after looking at the color of the snow for a long time, it is not a small injury, but a big injury, light snow blindness, serious damage.
Fang Jing remembered the movie in her previous life, wielding a long sword in the snow, sweeping a piece of snow with her feet, and then jumping into the sky, flying with a sword in one hand, and flying on the ground, which can be said to be the most beautiful painting, which made Fang Jing want to try it.
Fang Jing didn't know if light power really existed, but he believed that it did, if light power didn't exist, then how could he explain how he came to this Datang? The things in the world can't be explained, and they can't be proven by science, where are the ghosts and demons? There is always a place for them to hide, but the world can't find it, or the world can't see it, Fang Jing thinks about whether there is a snowman on the Tianshan Mountain, whether there are snow insects, maybe only by going to see it can you know, Fang Jing hopes that she will go to the Tianshan Mountain one day to see, but now she wants to try, showing the feeling of flying on the snow with light skills, can you really step on the snow without a trace?
"Dachu, Daying, Xiaomei, Xiaozhi, you come, I'll burn a fire and roast it, don't freeze." Fang Jing no longer thought about light work, and looked at a few little babies standing aside with their necks bent, thinking about whether to make a fire or talk about it.
After Fang Jing lit a fire in the stove room, a bunch of people sat in front of the earthen stove, and they didn't speak, just laughing, Fang Jing thought that today's breakfast had to be eaten in the stove room, and went back to the back room to move the table into the stove room, but it was a third of the stove room, which was not a big place, and the chairs were estimated to have no place to put them, so let's move them when we eat, and I am not in a hurry anyway at the moment.
Chen Erlin and his wife are also busy with some trivial things, Fang Jing doesn't say anything, just feel free, anyway, there is not much to do at home, isn't it just to bake a fire at home on a snowy day, waiting to cook and eat.
I made some soup cakes for breakfast, I really didn't want to do anything, mainly because of the snow, everyone didn't want to move much, it was cold, it was better to sit in front of the fire after eating, but Fang Jing really couldn't wait, I wanted to go to the greenhouse to see, if it could be picked, if it could be picked, then you could eat some green vegetables on a snowy day.
Fang Jing went out with the basket and went to the greenhouse, Dachu had nothing to follow, he wanted to see the growth of the vegetables in the greenhouse, and he also fantasized about eating some green vegetables, he didn't dare to open the straw mat in the greenhouse on a snowy day, otherwise the vegetables inside would freeze to death.
Lift the straw mat door left at the edge of the greenhouse, the two of them entered the greenhouse, fortunately the greenhouse is nearly two and a half meters high, otherwise the cat has to go in, the greenhouse is a little dark, Fang Jing reached out and pulled the rope on the edge, the straw mat on the top opened a hole, the snow foam fell, but the light also came in, this is the telescopic rope designed by Fang Jing, and there is no need to lift the straw mat outside the greenhouse, as long as the person is in the greenhouse, pull the rope with some force to make the straw mat of the greenhouse open and close.
Fang Jing and the two looked at the eggplant, it was not small, although it had not grown yet, but it did not affect the eating, picked some big ones at will, and went back to roast the eggplant to eat in a while, when the barbecue was good, the green vegetables could be picked completely, and the big cabbage was almost the same, the beans were still small and not long enough, but it did not affect Fang Jing to pick some and go back to make a barbecue, Fang Jing and the two picked half a basket at will, and then closed the straw mat and went home.
"Little uncle, just now I went to the greenhouse with Dachu to take a look, the shepherd's cabbage, the big cabbage, the green vegetables or something can be picked, the others are a little small, we have to wait for some time, see the day after tomorrow The snow will not stop, if the snow stops, we will pick some and sell them in the town." Fang Jing, who had returned home, shouted to Chen Erlin and his wife.
"That's okay, Jing Wazi, this greenhouse you got is really good, it's good to eat some vegetables this winter, I used to think about eating meat, but I really want to eat vegetables in winter, and now with this greenhouse, we can also eat vegetables, haha." Chen Erlin said with a smile, thinking that he could try to pick some and sell them, but he also praised Fang Jing.
"Listen to Jing Wazi's yes, these days, I always go to the greenhouse, but watching these vegetables grow, I couldn't even think of it before, can I still grow vegetables in winter? This Jing Wazi has a good idea, she can eat vegetables in winter, and she can pick and sell them for some money, which has never happened before. Although Zhang Xiaoxia doesn't know the price of vegetables in winter, she also thinks that she can sell them at a good price, at least she can have some income in winter.
Early the next morning, Chen Erlin, Fang Jing, and Dachu each picked a load of green vegetables to the town, Fang Jing picked a big cabbage, no more, no less, tied into a net with a straw rope, which contained fifty or sixty large cabbage, which weighed nearly 300 catties, Chen Erlin also picked a large cabbage, but there were only about twenty trees, and Dachu picked two small baskets, and the basket was filled with some camellia, mainly because he was afraid that Dachu could not move, and the shepherd's cabbage was the lightest, and it was only about 30 catties, but this was going to the town, or to the county, These few hours of travel can exhaust him half to death.
The three of them walked all the way, and arrived in the town almost at noon, but fortunately there was no snow, otherwise it would have taken a lot of time to get to the town, and in this way, Chen Erlin and Da Chu were tired enough.
The three of them came to the town with a burden, there are not many people in the town, but there are also some people, looking at the three of them carrying vegetables, that is to slander everyone, vegetables in winter, that are all never seen, these have not seen vegetables for nearly two months, the people in the town are thinking, where is this vegetable, why are there vegetables in winter.
"Big brother, where did you get these vegetables? Is this vegetable meant to be sold? How much does it cost? A resident of the town asked Chen Erlin.
"A friend of mine shipped it from the south and asked me to sell it, this big cabbage is 20 wen a catty, and shepherd's cabbage is 30 wen a catty." This was discussed by Fang Jing and Chen Erlin in advance, but they didn't want to reveal any information.
"It's so expensive, two months ago, Da Xiang Cai sold for a penny and a catty." One of the people also said casually.
Fang Jing didn't want to pay attention to them, and directly carried the burden and went to the Yu family, in fact, he wanted to send a few big cabbage to the Yu family, and thank the Yu family for staying overnight a few times before.
"Uncle Yu, this is a vegetable brought by a friend from the south, give Uncle Yu's family a taste." Fang Jing knocked on the door of the Yu family, directly handed over five big cabbages, and no longer waited for Uncle Yu to speak, and went to the town street with his burden.
"Lao Yu, who, why are there so many big cabbage, where did the big cabbage come from in this winter." The woman of the Yu family watched Yu Quan carry the basket into the inner room, and there were five big cabbages in the basket, and asked Yu Quan in surprise.
"The baby named Fang Jing from Fangjia Village sent it, saying that it was shipped here from the south to sell, and he didn't just give it to Wushu and left, and he didn't come in to drink a bowl of hot water, this is winter." Yu Quan said to the woman, feeling embarrassed in his heart.
"In this winter, it's also difficult for the little brother of the Fang family, so I'll have to invite someone to come over and drink a bowl of hot water to rest." The woman of the Yu family added.
