Chapter 99: How Old Are You
Xu Qingzhi sorted the dishes ordered by the customers in advance, and wrote how many catties each asked for to her mother.
The vegetables grown in each plot are also different, and Wang Yanmei divided them according to the vegetables and people, and brought them to pick vegetables.
Ah Gong and Wen Shanshan were close to each other and helped pick the land in front of the yard dam.
Xu Qingzhi went to see the sour plum soup, and now the sour plum soup was cool, and she poured it all into the barrel she bought before.
After making the sour plum soup, Xu Qingzhi took the rotten bayberry he picked up before and fed the chickens and ducks.
The days are long in summer, but the weather has been cloudy recently, and the sky has begun to be cloudy at just over five o'clock.
Xu Qingzhi used a clean bamboo basket to pick some bayberry and gave some to Ah Gong. There are also bayberry from Shanshan before, there are still ten catties left, and they happen to be picked together.
After picking bayberry, she also went to help pick vegetables.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are still enduring hits, and this time the amaranth, eggplant and beans are also very popular.
There are lights on the ground in front of the dam and the land on the hill behind, but there is no light on the hillside.
Xu Qingzhi was afraid that if it was late, it would be troublesome to pick it up.
She stood alone in a row, and with a movement of her fingers, a dozen beans fell into her bamboo basket.
After picking a basket full of long beans, put it aside.
Aunt Zhou looked at it and boasted, "I know, you are quite fast picking vegetables, much faster than our aunts."
"I'm used to picking before, and I'm quick to move quickly." Xu Qingzhi said calmly, and took an empty basket to continue picking beans. There is a shelf in the way, the sky is not good, everyone is busy picking vegetables, and no one will pay attention to Xu Qingzhi's side.
As a result, the land on the hillside was the fastest.
Everyone went down the mountain with baskets on their backs again and again, and went to other places to help pick them.
Xu Qingzhi sweated tiredly and coughed twice.
Wang Yanmei saw it, went to make a cup of cold medicine, asked her to rest over there, and whispered, "You haven't had a good cold, drink the medicine, go there to rest for a while, just to talk to Si Ran." Mom wants to make dinner, I can't take care of him, people have helped you, you have to remember this love."
"Got it, Mom." Xu Qingzhi took the medicine, sat under the persimmon tree, and greeted Wen Siran: "You are here, Shanshan has helped me pick vegetables, just in front."
"When I saw her, she also called Brother Xiao to pick vegetables." Wen Siran smiled helplessly, "These days, Shanshan is really bothering you."
"Sansa has helped me a lot." The implication is that it's not troublesome.
Xu Qingzhi looked over at the vegetable patch, and could still see Wen Shanshan squatting and plucking green onions, frowning and saying something to Jiang Xiao on the side.
In the vegetable field, Wen Shanshan was originally picking vegetables with the lightly known grandfather and Xia Liannan.
Later, when she saw Jiang Xiao coming, she had to call someone to come over to help, and if she didn't help, she wouldn't let him eat dinner.
When the old man saw this, he gave up the land to the young man and went to pick vegetables on the other side.
Xia Liannan also went to other places with interest, and originally she didn't want much.
Wen Shanshan looked at Jiang Xiao with great disgust, and muttered, "Why can't you even pluck a shallot? Stupid."
"You hold on to the bottom and shake it twice to pull it out, and the soil is not tight, it's very loose."
"Ahh ….
"You ruined the vegetables that you grew lightly, I didn't play with you! You're going to eat all these shallots for me tonight."
「……」
Jiang Xiao was yelled at by Wen Shanshan and lost his temper, but fortunately, after a while, Xu Fuqiang came over and said, "Shanshan, the shallots are almost there, you can go play."
Jiang Xiao was exhausted: "Thank you, uncle!"
"Uncle, I still haven't finished picking the peppers." Wen Shanshan grabbed Jiang Xiao's back collar, "Follow me to pick chili peppers."
Jiang Xiao was enslaved by Wen Shanshan to pick chili peppers again.
These words fell into Xu Qingzhi's ears word for word, and she sneered.
By the time all the dishes were finished, it was almost seven o'clock.
Jiang Xiao was tired and sweaty, his suit jacket had long been taken off, his delicate white shirt and suit pants were stained with a lot of yellow mud, and even the hairstyle that he had specially grabbed with his hands before going out had collapsed.
Wen Shanshan was very satisfied with the dishes she and Jiang Xiao had picked up, and tonight's meal was justified.
Some people began to clean the vegetables with puree, and some people packed them according to the order.
Xu Fuqiang didn't let Shanshan and Jiang Xiao busy, first brought a bowl of sour plum soup to Xu Dongru, and then a bowl to Shanshan.
Jiang Xiao watched Xu Fuqiang take the drink over and give it to the other two people and went back, he smelled the faint aroma of bayberry in the air, and wailed, "Did Uncle forget me?"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Fuqiang brought out two more bowls, one bowl for Wen Siran and one bowl for Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao tasted the sour plum soup with satisfaction, and his eyes lit up.
"It's delicious."
Xu Fuqiang said politely: "You guys rest for a while, there is nothing else to drink at home, drink some sour plum soup to quench your thirst."
Xu Qingzhi didn't rest, taught people how to pack, and was busy himself, making sure to ensure that these dishes did not have problems.
It took more than half an hour of busy work before it was finally finished.
Wang Yanmei paid people and wanted to keep people to eat, but everyone hurried back to cook for the family, so they didn't stay long, some people drank a bowl of sour plum soup and left, and some people rushed home and didn't even drink sour plum soup.
Wang Yanmei came over with the money and gave one fifty to Xu Dongru, "Dad, you also helped pick vegetables today, it's yours."
The old man pushed the money, "No, no, no, help your granddaughter pick some food and get money, it's a joke." It's not easy for you to sell vegetables, so I'll do it if I can help with this old bone."
Wang Yanmei couldn't resist the old man, and took the money to Jiang Xiao and Shanshan.
Shanshan immediately stood up, "Auntie, you're like this, I'm embarrassed to eat later!"
"Auntie, I don't need it either. I had a taste of picking vegetables, and I was quite happy, and I kind of liked picking vegetables." Jiang Xiao said.
Wang Yanmei looked at the boy in a suit and leather shoes, who was tired and sweating profusely at this time, and was a little sure in her heart that he was capable of working and energetic.
Xu Fuqiang also thought the same in his heart.
"Eh, Xiao Jiang, how old are you?" Wang Yanmei asked.
Xu Qingzhi: "!!"
When she went to the mountains to pick beans, what happened.
Why did her mother suddenly call someone Xiao Jiang.
"Mom, the meat won't taste good if it's stewed." Xu Qingzhi reminded loudly.
"Oh, yes, yes, there's still meat stewed on the stove, I'm going to have to get it served." Wang Yanmei was reminded that she remembered that there was stewed meat in the kitchen for a while, and she hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Xu Qingzhi smiled: "Let's go into the house, let's eat immediately."
Soon, a large table of dishes was gradually arranged.
A pot of spicy fried chicken with shallots, a pot of red chopped pepper fish, a bowl of garlic eggplant, a bowl of cucumber, a bowl of stir-fried water spinach, and ginger-flavored dried bean meat, stir-fried amaranth, and a pot of tomato and egg consommé sprinkled with a few green green onions.
When Wang Yanmei served the dishes, Xu Qingzhi fried the last bowl of vegetables, fried bacon with pine hair mushrooms.
This bacon is different from the commonly smoked black bacon, and the bacon made by Wang Yanmei is bacon made by fire cultivation.
The color of the bacon is golden and shiny, the salt is soaked but does not make people feel very salty, and the aroma of the meat is restrained.
