Chapter 531: The Mouse Bites the Mallet
After rubbing the pants, throw them a few times with water, then wring them out and put them in a basin, and take them out to dry tomorrow morning.
There's no way to dry your clothes at night, there's no such rule.
After washing her pants, Su Anying had already picked up all the mushrooms in the basket on the fork and waited to carry them out to dry tomorrow morning.
Under the mushrooms are soft dates covered with large leaves, pick them up in a small basin and wash them with water, and bring them into the house for the children to eat.
The Xu family is not short of food, but this kind of wild fruit in the mountains is rarely seen.
Soft dates are very sweet and have a special aroma, Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui both love to eat them.
Over there, Xu Haiyuan picked out some walnut peels from the walnut pile that were already rotten, knocked off the skin with a stick, picked up some and threw them into the pit at the bottom of the pot to eat.
At night, Xu Chenghou was idle and had nothing to do, so he used a hammer to knock walnuts for the children, and the children each found an awl or something to pick walnut kernels.
At this time, the walnuts are not yet dry, and the walnut kernels also contain water, which has a unique sweetness to eat.
The children are beautiful enough, especially the three who work in the mountains, and the fruits of their labor taste extraordinarily delicious.
said that they were going to start ginseng planting tomorrow, and Xu Shiyan and Su Anying were over there to prepare things.
The ginseng planting is not too tender, and it has to be planted in the ground, so you have to pay special attention.
The sack is covered with a layer of plastic film to seal the window.
The plastic film itself is in the shape of a bucket, just tie it up at the bottom and put it in the sack.
There are not many ten zhang planted, and it is enough to prepare two or three sacks.
The children were actually tired after a day of going up the mountain, so they rested early in the evening and got up early the next morning.
Zhou Guilan baked cakes in the kitchen and brought food to Xu Shiyan and them up the mountain.
The burnt dough cake has a lot of green onions in it, and the room is full of the aroma of green onion cakes.
In addition to the green onion cake, Zhou Guilan also cut a piece of sauce beef.
The beef was given by someone else some time ago, and I was too busy to eat it, so I froze in the refrigerator.
Doesn't that mean going up the hill and planting seeds? Yesterday, Zhou Guilan specially turned it out of the refrigerator and put it on the sauce in the pot.
It's time to cut it out and put it in a lunch box.
In addition to these, there are also pickles and homemade chili sauce.
Zhou Guilan baked a lot of cakes, and when she got up in the morning, she would have green onion cakes and potato soup.
With home-made spicy sauce and small pickles, eat mouthful cakes and drink hot soup, this meal is very beautiful.
After breakfast, Xu Shiyan and Su Anying threw all the tools into the car bucket, and the children sat in the back seat of the driver's building.
I don't have much to live today, so I won't let Xu Chenghou go up the mountain, the old man is old, and he can't go up the mountain continuously.
Xu Shiyan drove, Su Anying took the co-pilot, and the family of five drove straight to the ginseng land of the fork in the peak.
This season, the ginseng leaves have turned yellow.
After removing the canopy, use four teeth to scratch the ground a few times.
The seedlings themselves are small, and they are gone when they are pulled and pulled, so they don't delay planting.
Xu Shiyan picked up the four teeth to plan, and Su Anying and the children hurriedly went out to pick up the seeds.
Not to mention, this piece of land is really a mallet, and after two years of sowing seeds, the plant grows really well.
The good ones are as thick as an adult's little finger, and the strips are not bad, and there is no rust.
Xu Shiyan is very careful every time, for fear of damaging the plant.
Su Anying led the children, and she also picked them up very carefully.
The Xu family's plant is quite even, the big one is about the same as a finger, and the small one is almost as thick as a cigarette roll, and there are almost no too small ones.
This is the benefit of sprinkling dried seeds, ginseng seeds after a year of dormancy, the opening rate is high, and the seedlings are good.
If it is a water seed, it will not work, the opening rate is not enough, and some ginseng seeds will sprout a year later.
It caused five leaf ginseng plants to be planted, mixed with a lot of three flowers.
Therefore, some people later used gibberellin to soak ginseng seeds and then send them, which can increase the opening rate.
The ginseng planting is good, everyone is very happy, while laughing and chatting, while picking up the ginseng planting seeds, and putting them together smoothly.
Su Anying saw that there were too many piles, so she put the ginseng plants into the sack one by one.
When loading, you should also pay attention to the beard facing outwards and the reed head facing inward.
This is going to be replanted in the ground, and the reeds can't germinate if they fall off.
There is a plastic sheet inside the sack, which can ensure that the moisture of the ginseng seeds will not be lost by the wind, especially the reeds will not dry up.
The planting is small and dense, so Xu Shiyan is planing alone, and Su Anying leads the children to pick it up.
By noon, it was already seven or eight feet up.
If Xu Shiyan and his family go up the mountain, the two of them will definitely finish their work and then eat.
But they have three children, and the children are already hungry, and after a long morning's work, they are already hungry.
How can they be starved? So he led the children to see the ginseng room for dinner.
The baked cakes that got up early were already cold at this time, and Su Anying was worried that the children would be uncomfortable eating cold, so she specially put them in the pot to heat them up.
The fragrant green onion cake, rolled with thin beef slices in sauce, and some home-made chili sauce, take a bite, and get old.
There is no hot soup on the mountain, and the people who watch the ginseng boil hot water, eat a mouthful of bread and drink hot water, and this meal is quite comfortable.
After lunch and resting for a while, Xu Shiyan looked at the cloudy sky, and said to hurry up and go home early.
So the two led the children to plant again.
As a result, just after a few plowings, a hole was exposed in the ground, and some plants were dug out with four teeth, but there was no head or tail, only a bare rod left.
"Oops, this is a mouse."
Su Anying looked at it, and she was distressed, at least two or three catties of planting seeds were dug out of this nest.
And the most harmful thing about rats is that they pick and choose big gnaws. This is to pinch the head and remove the tail, planning to stock up on grain for the winter.
Xu Shiyan also sighed, what is this crop yard most afraid of, one is bad weather, and the other is insect pests and rodents.
This rat is so good at harming people that a good mallet bites off the head and tail and hides it in a hole.
"It's okay, isn't it the old saying? The mouse bites the mallet, and the mallet will go up in price. ”
Xu Shiyan saw his wife's distressed appearance, so he could only comfort him.
Her own man deliberately said this, what about her heart, can Su Anying still know?
Su Anying could only smile, "Well, it would be nice if the price really increased."
Let's get this out of here, pack up and go home. ”
Xu Shiyan dug out all the mallets in the hole.
Even if you can't plant it, you can still wash it and make goods, so you can't leave it for rats as winter food.
There wasn't much in the afternoon, but it was soon over, and ten zhang ginseng was planted, and three loose sacks were filled.
The ginseng planting is not too solid, mainly because I am afraid of crushing the planting.
In total, these plants have been planted, so don't put them in the car bucket, what if you don't pay attention to them?
Su Anying and her daughter sat in the passenger seat, her son and ginseng planter sat in the back row, and the four teeth and other family belongings were put in the car bucket.
In this way, the family of five drove back.
After lunch, the sky was a little cloudy, and when they loaded the car, it began to rain, and the car drove halfway, and the rain began to fall heavily.
Su Anying sat in the car, watching the wipers keep brushing the windshield, and she was very glad that they came to plant ginseng today.
Otherwise, this rain will have to be delayed for several days.
"It's a shame that our family has a car, otherwise we all have to be watered."
