Chapter 9 Plan to grow vegetables
The Qinyu Mountains are undulating, the location of Qingxi Village is in the hinterland of the Qinyu Mountains, the village is behind the deep mountains, these two days digging yam Su Banxia also has a general understanding, the mountain behind the village can be entered casually, the mountain is very safe and there are no wild beasts, there were wild boars in the mountains before, in recent years, wild boars have not dared to approach the village, and there are only some small animals that can be encountered that are relatively small and harmless.
Xie Sanqi put Taoren and Su Banxia's small hoes on his shoulders, and said very seriously: "In this direction you took us, I know that there are many yams in one place, not only yams, but also wild leeks." ”
Su Banxia was greedy when he heard the wild leeks, the land was gone, and the leeks planted in the ground became Mrs. Cui's, this season I want to eat a little green leafy vegetables, in addition to wild vegetables, you can also see a little green, there are very few green vegetables planted at home, I think of spinach seeds when I think of vegetables, and I think about going home to plant them.
With Xie Sanqi carrying the hoe, Su Banxia and Taoren were much lazy.
Taoren talked about the affairs of the village as he walked: "Su Xiaozhu will return to the door tomorrow, I heard that Master Qin likes Su Xiaozhu very much, and he also sent pork yesterday, but Zhu Chunlian and Mrs. Cui are very happy, and the two of them are still talking bad about you in the village, which is really annoying." ”
Su Banxia and the Jiang clan have not been in contact with the people in the village, and they have been busy digging yams for the past two days, so they don't know much about what happened in the village.
Thinking of Su Xiaozhu marrying the old man Qin who couldn't walk steadily, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Wait for her to live a good life, I don't want to marry that bad old man if my life is not good, I just said that Zhu Chunlian and Mrs. Cui didn't come to the door to find trouble in the past two days, and it was good to dare to love." ”
Usually, the two of them come to the door twice in three days to find trouble, and it is estimated that the two of them see that their family is living tightly, and there is nothing to go by, and they are too lazy to take care of it.
This is the best, although I am not afraid that Mrs. Cui and Zhu Chunlian will make trouble, it will delay time if it is really noisy.
Xie Sanqi put down the hoe and rested against the stone wall, with a serious expression: "Banxia, you don't care what they say, those two can't spit out a good word in their mouths, Su Xiaozhu doesn't care about our business if he is doing well, the most important thing is to live a down-to-earth life." ”
Su Banxia also thought so: "I begged them not to come to the door to find trouble, the people in the village dislike the yam is difficult to dig and are unwilling to dig, this is cheap for us, let's work hard today, and wait until the next time we catch the market, sell it for more money, you don't know, I drool when I think of the taste of meat now, the last time I ate meat was when the village held a banquet." ”
The family is so poor that they can't eat enough, meat is a luxury, and from the memory of the original owner, I know that meat can't be eaten once or twice a year, and eggs can occasionally be eaten, but that is not satisfying.
Taoren swallowed saliva when she heard the meat, and looked at Xie Sanqi with a blank eye: "Brother, you have taken us to catch fish for a long time, and we haven't eaten meat for a long time, and I drool at the thought of the taste of meat." ”
Aunt Osmanthus's family conditions are not good, not only have to raise two children, but also have to support two old people, life is tight, Xie Sanqi is seventeen years old this year, no one is willing to come to the door to say goodbye, all because the family is poor.
Xie Sanqi smiled honestly: "If you want to eat fish, dig up herbs today, and when you come back from selling yams the day after tomorrow, I will go to the river to catch fish, so that you can eat enough." ”
Probably thinking of being able to eat fish, the three of them are very motivated.
The place Xie Sanqi took was some distance from the village, and in the woods of a low-lying area, there was a small stream flowing from the woods, the water of which was small but very clear.
The yam in the forest grows in the gravel cracks, it is difficult to dig it out, you need to carefully pick up the gravel, Su Banxia, who wants to make money, also suffers, and uses a small hoe to dig up the gravel little by little, and pull the yam out of the gravel cracks little by little.
When encountering kudzu, he will also find a way to dig it out and put it in the back basket, eat steamed buns when he is hungry at noon, the three of them are also lively while digging, and the back baskets of the three of them are full when it is about to get dark, Su Banxia stood up with the back basket on his back, and Xie Sanqi hurried up to get the hoe.
The way down the mountain is very fast, it is already completely dark when I get home, and the harvest is very big all day, Su Banxia can't take a break, and picks out the yams, and the good kudzu is also selected and put aside, and is ready to take it to the town to sell when it is ready to catch up with the market.
Jiang asked about today's affairs in the mountains, helping to clean out the yam and kudzu that were dug up and crushed, yesterday I saw how Su Banxia cut it, and after washing, he also began to remove impurities and slices, and those that really couldn't be sliced were cut into thumb-sized squares, so that there were fewer pieces left.
Lying on the bed and stroking the medicine stove on his right wrist, the spirit entered the space.
The space is still as bright as day, the surroundings are still foggy, I looked at the herbs planted in the ground, they grew exceptionally well, because it was just an experiment, there were not many herbs planted in the space, the yam vines planted in the first day were already very long, and she also found that the plants planted in the space were much faster than the ones outside, it seems that tomorrow we need to get more herbs to plant, it is best to plant more yams, so that they can be taken out and sold.
I entered the thatched hut and took down a copy of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" from the bookshelf, sat on the chair and looked quietly.
Early in the morning, the rooster in the village crowed so that Su Banxia woke up, rubbed his head, the book he read in the space last night, the content is still remembered, and it is extremely clear, and he is happy in his heart, he can pick some other herbs when he goes up the mountain today.
Jiang had already boiled the crushed yam, adding some grains to it, and it didn't taste as throat-piercing as before.
After eating, there is a small piece of land next to the thatched shed, which is the land of Aunt Osmanthus's house, thinking about planting spinach in the field, and the most suitable thing at the moment is to open the land in front of you and plant spinach temporarily.
"Mother, I'll go find Aunt Osmanthus, this vacant land next to the shed can be dug up for me to grow vegetables, and the seeds from Gongzi Qin must always be tried, if they are planted!" Mother, if the spinach is grown, we will definitely make a lot of money by selling it, you think, how precious are the seeds from the Western Regions. She said with a grin.
Jiang didn't stop it, she also figured it out, Su Banxia used to listen to her for everything, but as a result, the mother and daughter lived a very aggrieved life, and they were hungry for a meal, although they didn't have a house, they slept very well in the past two days, and even Cui's didn't come to find fault.
She was also scared, afraid that Su Banxia would not be able to think about it anymore, and those who could be indulged would begin to indulge.
"Go ahead, talk to your Aunt Osmanthus."
Su Banxia went to Aunt Osmanthus's house, and when she walked to Aunt Osmanthus's yard, she saw Xie Sanqi preparing the basket.
