The plane landed at Fengtian Airport, got off the plane to pick up the luggage, stopped three taxis to go to the high-speed rail station, and took the high-speed rail to Chang County. If you drive, it will take more than two hours, and the high-speed train will only take more than half an hour to arrive.

I got off the high-speed rail and rented a car, and drove to Fang Village, Chang County. After getting out of the car, the three fathers took their respective children, and the female director came over: "Welcome the children and fathers to Chang County, the largest grain production base in China." Chang County is a county with a long history, which can be traced back to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, when it was a subordinate territory of Su Shen. After it was changed to a county, Chang County has always been a county-level system. The current Chang County is a county directly under the provincial government. This time, we came to Fang Village, one of the 450 administrative villages in Chang County, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is a place with beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery. You can look back and see that this time our kids and dads are going to move into the back house. ”

Everyone looked back and saw that it was a bungalow, but the yard was still quite large, about the size of half a football field, and it was definitely no problem for children to play and run wildly in it. The female director continued: "We will not be paying for this stay, everything you need needs will be exchanged for doing farm work. We put yellow markers around the crops around the village, and you have to go down to the fields to pick the ingredients for your daily meals. We will repurchase the picked ingredients according to the highest single catty price in the national market on the day, and at least five catties, we will not accept less than five catties. Everything after that needs to be solved by yourself, and I wish you all a happy life here. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Mingming spit out a groan next to him and said, "I don't think it's so pleasant." Everyone laughed. Xue Ding asked, "Then can we use our own money?" Without waiting for the director to answer, Zhang Siwei stopped Xue Ding and said, "Oh, there's no need to spend your own money." There's everything here, isn't it just for money, what's there? It's not fun to use your own money. ”

Xue Ding wanted to cry without tears: "The key is that I have never done farm work, and there are a lot of mosquitoes here, what if I am bitten." There are no wild beasts left in the mountains and rivers, but there will be some small snakes... Spiders or something, how scary! Meng Ran and Zhang Siwei glanced at each other, looked at him and teased: "Hey! Isn't it Lao Xue, you're still afraid of these as a big man? Don't worry, there should be lime in the house, just sprinkle it around twice later, at least snakes, insects, rats and ants... Belch... Snakes, insects, and ants should not be visible. It's impossible for the program team not to give us something to repel mosquitoes. If you look at them, they don't have a lot more chance of being bitten by mosquitoes in the wild than we do. ”

Xue Ding looked at the shooting team, and many people were already scratching their arms and legs. Xue Ding sighed, no way, everyone can bear with it if they work so hard. He followed the group and pushed the suitcase into the yard.

Take the kids into the house first. There are three rooms in the house, and the interior decoration is still very nice. There is only one large pot and stove pit in the kitchen, and there is also a large water tank in it, and there is water in the tank. There are a lot of farm tools in the utility room next to it, as well as protective clothing and rain boots. There are two toilets and shower rooms, which are rebuilt by the program team at first glance. Meng Ran looked around and was quite satisfied. Although it is not as good as a homestay, it is quite good to live in such a living environment here.

He chose a small room with Nuno inside, put away the luggage, and after tidying up, he took out mosquito repellent spray and sprayed Nuno on her, put on sunscreen clothing for her, and took Nuno to the backyard to have a look. When he arrived in the backyard, he could still hear Xue Ding's complaints, and Meng Ran thought to himself, this is really a delicate city person.

The backyard is huge, the size of a football field, and is planted with tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, green onions, corn, and peanuts. Meng Ran smiled, took Nuo Nuo to the cucumber shelf, picked a cucumber from the vine, wiped it with his clothes, and took a bite. Sweet and watery, good, good, delicious. When Nuo Nuo saw that he was going to eat it, Meng Ran took Nuo Nuo back to get a basin, washed the cucumber by the way, broke off the place where he had bitten, and gave the rest to Nuo Nuo.

Nuno ate cucumbers and returned to the backyard with Meng Ran, and the two of them picked ripe vegetables. Nuo Nuo asked Meng Ran what this was and what that was, and Meng Ran patiently told her one by one. By the time the two of them returned, the pot was already full of crops.

It's noon, and it's too late to cook now. I looked at the kitchen, there were some eggs in the refrigerator, and a jar full of rice. Well, after a pot of rice, Meng Ran had a headache when he looked at this cauldron. It's been a long time since I've used such a big pot to cook, and the last time I used such a big pot to cook was in the army. However, this pot is still quite small, and some pots in the countryside are even bigger than this pot.

Beat the eggs and chop the tomatoes. The eggplant is also washed and cut into pieces and set aside. Start a fire, burn the straw, pour oil. When the oil is hot, pour in the eggs, and when the eggs are almost scrambled, pour in the tomatoes. Add salt appropriately, stir-fry a few times, and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes is ready. Xue Ding and Zhang Siwei took the children to watch, not knowing what they should do. After all, one is from the city, and the other is half from the countryside, but he has never cooked in such a big pot.

Pour in the water, brush the pot with a brush, scoop the dirty water into the dirty bucket with a scooping spoon, and use the brush to shake out the remaining bit of water. Wrap the starch and pour the fried eggplant, brush the pot and stir-fry the prepared sauce after frying the eggplant, then pour the fried eggplant into it and stir-fry, and finally put it on a plate, and a plate of roasted eggplant is ready.

The rice was almost ready, Xue Ding and Zhang Siwei served the meal separately, and everyone sat around the table in the living room for lunch. Meng Ran said while eating: "I personally think that cauldron is a bit too big and a little difficult to control. Well, let's see if we can borrow a pot, the smaller one. Then we set up a stove in the yard or in the kitchen. Actually, my idea was to push the stove. the cauldron, then smash the bricks and everything with a sledgehammer, and rebuild a smaller pot stove, which is convenient for rice or something. ”

After listening to Meng Ran's words, Xue Ding, Zhang Siwei and the people in the program team were all stunned. Can you still play like this, big brother! It just so happened that Meng Ran had eaten well, so he just did it! He went to the utility room to get a pair of gloves and a mask, and shoveled the ashes from the stove pit into the sewage bucket so that the ashes would not fly. The ashes in the stove pit were cleaned up, and the cement coated in the joint between the pot and the stove was scraped off little by little with a flat-mouth screwdriver, and the screwdriver was poked in and shaken a few times, and it didn't take long for the cauldron to loosen.

The people in the program team looked at Meng Ran and didn't stop him, everyone thought to themselves, there is absolutely no procrastination, just do what you say, full of hands-on ability, bull break! But I just can't tell if it's very bold or if this person is a bit of a tiger.

The cauldron was warped, and Meng Ran took the cauldron into the utility room. The two fathers and children in the living room were really dumbfounded, especially Xue Ding and Zhang Siwei, the two of them glanced at each other and saw admiration in each other's eyes. The two of them really didn't expect Meng Ran to really do this kind of thing, what else to say, hurry up and eat, and go to help after eating.

waited for Meng Ran to come back, but he came back with a sledgehammer. After a few clicks smashed the stove, Meng Ran put aside the broken bricks that could still be used, and moved the rest outside. When the people in the program team saw the broken bricks, they all wanted to cry without tears. This old brother doesn't have to say, he is properly violent!

When I went to the backyard with Nuno just now, I saw bricks in the backyard, sand, cement and tiles in the utility room, all of which were moved to the kitchen and put them away. It happened that everyone had finished eating, put the dishes and chopsticks into the basin and soaked them, Meng Ran went to take a shower and coaxed Nuo Nuo to take a nap. When Nuo Nuo fell asleep, Meng Ran got up and drew a design drawing with pen and paper, looked at it to see that there was no problem, got up and went to Xue Ding and Zhang Siwei. Knocked lightly on the door and pushed it open, Xue Ding was sleeping. knocked on Zhang Siwei's door again, pushed it open, and he was also sleeping. Meng Ran was so depressed in his heart, can you two still do it! Regardless of them, he put on his hat to borrow the pot, and VJ followed.

Meng Ran, who spoke Northeast dialect, slipped from the head of the village to the end of the village, and did not gain anything at all. The main reason is that this time is all about taking a nap. Working in the field during the day, after a tired morning, he must rest and rest at noon, and Meng Ran can't bear to disturb him. The few households that are awake also use large pots, and rarely use small pots. There is an eldest sister who has a small pot at home, but it is for their dog to cook. Meng Ran wants to cry without tears, are the living conditions of this dog so good?!

Walking and walking to the supermarket in the village. Thinking that there are nine hundred and thirty yuan left from the previous station, then just buy a pot and forget it. Walking into the supermarket, Meng Ran saw the pot under the guidance of the boss. I picked and chose to buy a small pan with an inner diameter of 36 cm, after all, with seven children, I had to buy a slightly larger one. I bought some pickles, instant noodles and snacks or something, and it was 317 yuan at the checkout. Meng Ran asked the boss to give a discount, and the boss finally gave a nine-fold discount, two hundred and eighty-five. Meng Ran paid, thanked the boss, and returned to the farmhouse with his things.

Putting on gloves and a mask, Meng Ran gently built the stove with bricks, unpacked the pot and measured it on it, it was almost done, and carried the sand and cement to the yard. Spread a layer of plastic sheeting, carry a bucket of water, and mix sand and cement on the plastic sheeting in proportion.

The mixture of water and ash from the cesspool was poured into a corner outside, and the cesspool was flushed, wiped clean, and the reconciled sand and cement were poured into it, and brought to the kitchen. I found a large basin and soaked the tiles in it. I found an iron trowel in the utility room, compared the pot again, put the pot down, and began to build the stove officially. Although he was not very skilled, Meng Ran did build up a stove little by little, and each layer was measured with a level to see if there was any tilt, which was very meticulous.

After becoming proficient, it became faster and faster, and it didn't take long for a new stove to be built. Meng Ran put the pot on it and tried it, and it was pretty good. Take the tiles out of the basin and spread them, wrap them in a thick cloth around the hammer and carefully knock them flat. It took more than half an hour, and the tiles were laid. Meng Ran opened the doors and windows of the kitchen to speed up the air flow rate to make the cement dry faster.

After all this, I cleaned up my things and put my tools back in the utility room. Meng Ran took a shower, changed his clothes, and went back to the room to lie down next to Nuo Nuo to sleep.
