Chapter 45: The Harvest (1)

As time passed, the early-ripening peaches in the orchard were almost ripe, and Liu Peng added some living utensils to the bamboo house. The master invited by Sister Ping in the city also arrived in the village, this master's surname is Zhang, and he has more than ten years of experience in farm cuisine, and Sister Ping finally dug it from a restaurant. On the first day of coming, this master gave Liu Peng a little "dew" and stewed a sour soup duck, which made Liu Peng full of praise.

"Master Zhang, what do you think needs to be prepared here?" Liu Peng asked

"I've also looked at the situation here in the past few days, and I think it's pretty much the same, but I think you'll have to prepare some recipes, so that when the guests come, you can know what you need to eat?"

"I almost forgot about it!" Liu Peng patted his head and said

"I'll tell you about some of the dishes I can make, there are only a few dishes in total, duck in sour soup, fat intestine soup, pickled pepper back to the pot meat, farmhouse chicken, fried bacon with pea tips, and stone-ground vegetable bean curd." Chef Zhang said these dishes, took a breath, and said, "There are still some side dishes, which are not available at this time, so I won't talk about them." ”

"Alright, I'm adding some wild vegetables or something! At that time, it will depend on you, Master Zhang. Liu Peng said with a smile

"Wrapped up in me!" Master Zhang patted his chest and said

"Okay, Master Zhang, you can go to the house first, or go out for a walk, I'll go to the town now to get this east a little better."

In the town, Liu Peng made some recipes and added some knick-knacks to them, such as roasted sweet potatoes, canned bamboo rice, cold wild vegetables and the like.

In the plan, a month has arrived, during this period, Liu Peng and the branch secretary also discussed the festival they are going to do, Liu Peng told the secretary about the purpose of this festival and the effect, the secretary knows that this festival will not only bring a lot of income to the village, but also bring a lot of fame to the village, with a smile on his face to support Liu Peng to do this, and also inform the villagers to make some preparations during this time, clean up the empty house at home, and clean it thoroughly, so as to welcome the guests who arrived this time, Liu Peng pulled a long banner at the entrance of the village, which read: Welcome to the Sunshine Picking Festival.

On the first weekend of April, Liu Peng was waiting at the entrance of the village early, and saw a yellow "colored" minibus coming over, Sister Ping got off with a full carload of people, Liu Peng stepped forward to greet him: "Hello guests! You are welcome to join us for this festival, and I think that this weekend, you will also feel the strong local atmosphere and rural life here. ”

"Okay, everyone, next I will take you to this picking festival, each of you will receive a bamboo basket later, when you visit the orchard, you choose your favorite fruit, of course, you can also taste it at any time, our fruit trees here are excellent varieties, to ensure that there is no residue of pesticide on the fruit, and the fruit is bigger and fresher than the market. If anyone is willing to stay here for this weekend, we have also prepared a house, under the peach orchard, there is a bamboo forest, there is a bamboo house we have prepared, it will also bring you a unique flavor, here, you can also taste the taste of various farm dishes, and some special "color" authentic gadgets, okay, everyone let's go in now! Sister Ping said

A group of people came to the peach orchard, saw the bamboo house surrounded by a fence in front of them, behind the bamboo house is a piece of bamboo forest, they were intoxicated and generally stood there, as if integrated into the scenery here, imagining their idyllic life here, their faces couldn't help but give birth to a yearning "color", in their hearts, they also decided, this weekend said that they have to spend here.

Seeing the look of the guest in front of them, Liu Peng and Sister Ping nodded to each other, and Liu Peng said secretly: "It seems that the effect this time is good." ”

After the people in front of him came back to their senses, Liu Peng said: "Everyone has also seen the bamboo houses here, which are all made of bamboo, and the stools and chairs inside are all hand-woven by the villagers here, and now I will take you up the mountain to pick fruits, everyone come with me!" ”

Liu Peng and Sister Ping led the way in front, and the people behind looked left and right from time to time, entered the garden, looked up, and found that the layers of fruit trees were extending upward, and there were red fruits hanging on the trees, which were bright and dripping. "Look, these are the early-maturing nectarines we have here, look at the head and color, is it bigger and redder than the ones on the market? Okay, let's move freely! Pick whichever you like. ”

People seem to have been unable to resist this impulse, towards these red fruits, everyone's first action is to pick one, taste the taste, feel the sweet taste in the mouth, people can't help but speed up the speed of eating, after tasting, they continue to look at these fruits, but the hand did not continue to pick, seeing this, Liu Peng's heart was a little worried, so he walked forward to an old man who was watching the fruit there and asked: "Uncle, why don't you continue to pick it?" ”

"Hehe, young man, you are the master here! I think everyone wants to stay here and spend the weekend walking, if you pick it now, it won't be so fresh tomorrow, I think it's going to be picked when you're ready to go! The old man laughed

"That's right! How do you feel about this place, old man? ”

"Fortunately, especially the bamboo garden at the bottom of the mountain, it feels very natural and close."

"I think so, I feel the same way there, that old man, you guys should play here first!"

The old man smiled and nodded.

People playing in the garden take pictures from time to time, some also learn about some fruit trees from the technicians in the garden, some stand on the top of the mountain to watch the whole peach orchard, and from time to time you can see some villagers working in the field.

After visiting the peach orchard and returning to the bamboo house, Liu Peng also introduced some small gadgets to everyone, including roasted sweet potatoes, bamboo rice and the like, this bamboo tube rice is to canned some broad beans and peas in the bamboo tube, add some rice, stuff the bamboo tube, and then roast it in the fire, and the roasted rice and beans are particularly fragrant. Everyone heard what Liu Peng said, and they couldn't help but want to try it, there were already small pits and some dry firewood prepared by Liu Peng for them in the yard, and everyone did it according to the method introduced by Liu Peng, and the young people in the crowd felt particularly fresh, but those old people were also watching from the side, because these gadgets had been played when they were still in the countryside.

Seeing that everyone was full of interest, Liu Peng couldn't help but roast with them, which was something he often did when he was a child, secretly smearing a handful of broad beans in the ground, and then roasting and eating. After a while, the aroma came out, feeling the aroma of the beans and rice, everyone swallowed their saliva uncontrollably, and the old people on the side took pictures of this picture with their cameras.

The time in the morning passed in a while, and at noon Liu Peng asked them what they wanted to eat, everyone patted their stomachs, felt so full, looked at the menu, and ordered a few side dishes, including bean curd, folded ear roots, and a little green vegetable soup. After eating, some chatted about the day, and some played cards in the yard, and the spring sun was warm on their bodies.
