Chapter 32: Mapo Tofu

Buying wasteland, things got more and more.

On the first day, I observed the situation in the field, made a simple plan, and set aside the land for the reservoir; The next day, I took an axe and prepared to cut down the trees, but I cut two in the morning and two in the afternoon, and I was bored; On the third day, I couldn't do work, and yesterday I used too much energy, and it was difficult to lift my arms.

At this time, Zhao Lan really felt how hard it was to farm without mechanization. It was also at this time that Zhao Lan knew how big a project it was to open up wasteland, no wonder, everyone did not agree to buy wasteland.

It's so fucking hard to get it, it's too much fucking effort and time. (Allow me to curse two swearing, really, not a human job.) )

Zhao Lan didn't know that it was so difficult to open up wasteland, but Zhao Shen knew it. Therefore, Zhao Shen finished the work at home and in the original field every day without hurry, and went to clean up in the wasteland when he had time. Therefore, Zhao Shen's expression was calm, and in comparison, Zhao Lan's resentful little face was much more exciting.

Trees are very difficult to cut, and if there were an electric saw, this half-sized tree would be sawn in minutes. I don't have a saw, I have to chop with an axe, and it doesn't take long to chop, but I'm tired! How can there be such a big hand, so big arm strength keeps chopping. Fortunately, the Zhao family is a blacksmith, and these ironware are still available, if you don't have them, it will be really difficult to ask others to borrow them.

The only good thing is that there are not many big trees in the field, and a few of them Zhao Lan still want to keep in case they are in reserve.

In addition to cutting down trees, it is also necessary to pick up the larger stones in the field and pile them aside, so that it is convenient to dig the ground in the later stage, and the stones are piled together so that the road can be paved later. The reservoir should be dug and the field should be plowed over.

Because there are no fruit trees yet, they discussed what Zhao Shen would plant. Zhao Shen said that grain cannot be planted, and it cannot be harvested if it is planted, the fields are not ripe, and there is a lot of grass, so the grain cannot grow if it is planted, and the grain is wasted. You can start by sowing a small plot of vegetable seeds and see how the harvest goes.

Zhao Lan is still thinking about planting some herbs, but the weather is already hot, and it is difficult to transplant it, or it is not bad to wait for the seeds to be harvested and sown after autumn.

Zhao Lan summed it up, the first thing that can be done now is to cut down trees, this job is urgent, and it must not be cut slowly; Second, there is no hurry to pick up stones, and where the field is cleaned up, the stones will be picked up; Third, clean up a small plot of land and sow vegetable seeds first, this is the first in line, and there must be a little harvest; Fourth, transplant some wild peach trees, and there are persimmon trees on the mountain, but the persimmon trees are bearing fruit and cannot be transplanted until autumn. Wild peach trees, no one picks and eats them, you can try to transplant some first. Trees that cannot be transplanted in hot weather can be cut first; This work can only be done by looking at the sky, and it is not urgent; Fifth, digging a reservoir, which also takes time. I can't be in a hurry, but you can dig the low-lying place first, and then dig a little deeper, you can raise ducks and geese, which is in second place. But this one has to be watched, and this one is quite troublesome. Breeding is still put first. Dig a small pond and plant my bowl lotus first, it's been a long time since the planting, but the flowers should still bloom.

After making a summary, I must make another plan. Make a general plan for half a year, and then go into detail for each day. After doing this, Zhao Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

After three days of chaos, Zhao Lan's life returned to its original calm and orderly life.

On the fourth day, Zhao Lan still got up early, ran to the top of the hill, and then went down the mountain, today is to cut down two trees and dig a pond. Taking advantage of the cool weather in the morning, dig a pond first to save a sweat. After digging for half an hour, Zhao Lan came back, and stopped when she was tired of the lesson of cutting down trees last time.

Watering the flowers after eating. Open the bowl of lotus, soak it in warm water, and when it takes root and sprouts, the pond should be almost dug up.

Several pots of flowers at home have already bloomed, and only two or three flowers bloom in one pot, and many have not bloomed. The flowers bloom in a variety of colors. The ground was like a carpet dyed with green flowers. Zhao Lan thought that the two pots of flowers given to Mrs. Liu should have bloomed a lot, and they may not have reached the most beautiful state, but it is estimated that they have already formed flower balls. I hope someone likes it.

Zhao Ju is very happy these days, pinching a flower every day, going out to show off, and coming back beautifully. She was happy, Zhao Lan's flowers were in trouble, and every day there was always a person with a crying child who came to ask for flowers. Zhao Ju was miserable and was severely criticized by Zhao Lan. Zhao Ju didn't pick flowers and go out to show off.

Zhao Ju didn't go out to show off, but as soon as the people who came to pick flowers preached it, more people came.

The villagers I didn't know knew most of them because of the flower picking. Flowers are picked every day, fortunately, there are many flowers, and the speed of being picked cannot keep up with the speed of flowers, and finally the yard can still see flowers.

The busy days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of Liu Er's marriage.

Liu Er got married in a red dress. After a day of blowing, blowing, and beating, it was lively, and there was a lot of gossip. It is said that only two dowry boxes were accompanied, and the boxes were not full. The Liu family thinks that the Liu family has little to accompany the marriage, and the things to accompany are poor, and the Liu family thinks that the Liu family is not lively enough, the dishes are not delicious, and the amount is not much. No matter how noisy and disgusted it is, this marriage is considered to be completed, and there are no more waves.

Zhao Lan finally met the rumored Huzi after being reborn. Huzi is not tall, about 1.7 meters, with a healthy wheat complexion, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, graceful and suave, and his red clothes are worn on his handsome figure, which makes him even more handsome. This kind of appearance is really eye-catching. It's just that those upward peach blossom eyes are charming and charming, but they are slightly frivolous, I don't know how many rights and wrongs will be caused in the future!

The peppers are also ripening unconsciously. Zhao Lan couldn't wait to pick a chili pepper, asked Zhao Shen for money, bought two pieces of tofu, and made a mapo tofu.

As soon as Zhao Lan sat down, she picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a chopstick tofu. As soon as he put it in his mouth, a spicy smell came into his nasal cavity, and after not eating spicy food for a long time, Zhao Lan actually sneezed. The spicy taste quickly spreads in the mouth, the tongue is hot, the throat is hot, the stomach is hot, and the scalp feels hot and numb. It's so spicy!

"Wow wow!" Zhao Qiu spit out tofu and cried.

Zhao Shen hugged Zhao Qiu who was sitting on the stool and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? What are you crying about? ”

Zhao Qiu stuck out his tongue while crying.

Zhao Lan looked at the tofu that she spit out, and thought: It's miserable, I patronized and ate it, and forgot to remind them that the tofu is spicy.

Zhao Lan hurriedly poured a glass of water and brought it over, and said, "Quick, the mouth is not spicy." ”

"Sister, what kind of tofu are you making, so spicy," Zhao Ju swallowed the tofu and blamed while fanning the wind in his mouth, "Eh, it's spicy to me, give me some water." ”

Zhao Ju took the bowl that Zhao Qiu drank and drank two sips of water in a row, only to feel that the mouth was not so hot.

"Oh my god, it's so spicy!"

Zhao Qiu drank a few sips of water and got a lot better, no longer crying, but leaning on Zhao Shen's arms, snorting and sobbing in a low voice.

"You girl, why is the tofu so spicy? And I didn't say a word. Zhao Shen said reprimandedly.

Zhao Lan also knew that she hadn't thought it through, and apologized apologetically: "The chili pepper is a little spicy, next time I put the chili, I will definitely say it in advance." I'm sorry! ”

"You kid!"

Zhao Shen didn't blame anymore, and lowered his head to coax Zhao Qiu, who was humming quietly.

Chili you're in trouble!

Seeing that Zhao Qiu was not humming. Zhao Lan settled down to eat.

It seems that it is better to make chili sauce, and if you want to eat it, you can pick a chopstick. Zhao Lan thought while eating tofu.

"It's spicy, but it's delicious, better than nothing." Zhao Ju commented while eating tofu.

Zhao Lan, who was secretly thinking to herself, didn't realize that most of the tofu was eaten by Zhao Ju.

Zhao Ju also likes spicy food.

Zhao Shen finished coaxing Zhao Qiu, and after listening to Zhao Ju's words, he also put a chopstick tofu in his mouth. Choking spicy! It's even spicier than ginger, what is this, it's so spicy, the spicy Zhao Shen almost spit it out like Zhao Qiu. Zhao Shen endured it and swallowed it like a jujube without chewing it anymore. It's so hot that it seems to be spicy to the stomach.

No wonder Qiu'er is crying, and adults can't stand it! Zhao Shen thought to himself after taking a bite.

Zhao Shen's scalp was numb after taking a bite, but he saw the two girls quickly finish the plate of tofu. Zhao Lan didn't even let go of the soup, and ate it with steamed buns. Zhao Ju even learned to eat with relish!

Aren't the two of them afraid of spicy?

One plate of tofu finished the meal. It doesn't seem to be enjoyable, and I can eat more.

Ay! Eating spicy food is easy to make people fat! Do I really want to be the fat man in other people's mouths?

Don't!

Zhao Lan wailed in her heart!

I told myself vigorously in my heart that I couldn't eat if I was only eight minutes full when I ate!

Zhao Lan, who said that she didn't eat or eat, ate another steamed bun. The stomach finally held up.

Zhao Lan comforted herself and said: Eat less next meal.

In the afternoon, the sun was too strong, and I embroidered for a while before going out. Pull out the grass, dig a pit, loosen the soil at an interval of one meter in the area in front of the swing, and when it is cloudy, transplant wild peach trees, cut the branches of the peach trees, and plan to plant peach trees here.

In the spring of the next year, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the breeze is gentle, the fragrance of flowers is full of flowers, and sitting in the peach blossom forest swinging on the swing must be the most beautiful thing. Zhao Lan fantasized about the beautiful scenery of the peach forest in the coming year.

In the evening, when I returned home, I looked at the Junzi orchid planting pods that had been almost dried, thinking that the fine sand was easy to find, and I didn't know where to find sawdust, so it seemed that I had to call Zhao Ju to ask if there was a carpenter in the village.

After eating, Zhao Lan asked Zhao Ju: "Who is a carpenter in the village?" ”

Zhao Ju replied casually: "Siqi family, sister, why are you asking this?" ”

"Sister needs some sawdust to plant flowers, will you help my sister go and get it back tomorrow?" Zhao Lan said to Zhao Ju.

Siqi? I don't think I've heard this name before. Zhao Lan thought suspiciously.

Zhao Ju looked up at Zhao Lan, shook his head and said, "I don't dare to ask for it." Sister, go by yourself! ”

Zhao Lan felt a little strange, and there were places where Zhao Ju didn't dare to go, so she couldn't help asking: "Why don't you dare to go?" His dog is fierce? ”

All Zhao Lan could think of was that he must have a wolf dog, and he kept barking when he saw a living person. I remember when I was a child, another family in the village had a very fierce dog, and they all said it was a wolf dog. As a result, no one in the village dared to go to their house. That's right! I can have a vicious dog to watch the house. So that no one will steal ducks and geese.

Thinking too divergently. came back to his senses, only to hear Zhao Ju say: "Sister, don't you know? ”

Know what? Zhao Lan is very strange, I didn't hear Zhao Ju's words, or did I forget what I should have known.

Zhao Ju looked at Zhao Lan with a look of incomprehension, leaned over and said fearfully: "His mother died, and she died when she gave birth to him." Everyone said that he was the victim. We didn't dare to play with him. He and his father moved from the new house to the old one. That house is so broken, I heard that crying can be heard at night, and they all say, Siqi's mother is crying! I don't dare to go, I want to go by yourself. ”
