341 grocery shopping
Lin He was cleaning up the vegetable garden behind the house with Li Changhui, and when he came back just now, he took two or three vegetable seedlings from each in the field.
Don't look at just two or three plants, but there are many varieties, as long as they can grow all of them, anyway, it's enough for their family of five to eat.
The vegetable garden has long been cleaned up, it rained two days ago, and the field is still moist at this time, and it is not too late to plant vegetables.
The two of them were digging the ground and planting vegetables, and they were busy when they heard the voices of several people talking.
"With such a big yard, there is no one under it."
"Xiao Liu, hurry up and go to the front to take a look, you have seen the person who delivered the food, you recognize it."
"Okay."
As a result, he turned a corner and looked at Lin He in the vegetable field.
Xiao Er exclaimed: "Alas, you are the lady who delivered the food in the morning." ”
Lin He also recognized it, it was the second child of the first restaurant sent in the morning.
Patting the dirt on his hands and standing up: "It's you." ”
At the same time, he turned sideways and explained to Li Changhui: "It's Xiao Er, who has seen the leeks in the morning." ”
Li Changhui nodded, and with just two sentences, the three of them had already arrived at the edge of the vegetable garden.
Li Changhui carried a hoe and took two steps up to Tiankan: "You are from Xilai Restaurant?" Is it because of the leeks? ”
A lean middle-aged man in a long shirt and long beard clenched his fists and stepped forward: "Under the surname Zhang, the shopkeeper of Xilai Restaurant, this is Chef Yang of our restaurant, we have already tasted the leeks you sent, and the taste is very good." ”
Li Changhui: "Li Changhui, the owner of the Li family's farm, this is my wife." ”
Li Changhui's simple introduction surprised Shopkeeper Zhang and Chef Yang for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Master Li and Mrs. Li are elegant." ”
It's about the two of them planting vegetables by themselves, but I've never seen an old lady with a big family who can do farm work by herself.
Li Changhui ignored his joke and put his hoe on the ground: "You are here because of leeks, right?" We only have leeks and a little chives in our vegetable garden now, and there will be cabbage seedlings in a few days. ”
Lin He planted all the remaining vegetable seedlings, drenched some water, and covered them with branches with leaves, so as not to die from the sun.
This side will be handed over to Li Changhui to deal with, although she is not a social phobia, but she is not very fond of dealing with strangers, especially this kind of person who looks like an old fritter.
Shopkeeper Zhang did not deny it: "That's true, don't hide it from Master Li, this leek is indeed better than the one we collected before, so I want to ask if there are any leeks left." ”
After speaking, he pointed to the distance: "Many people are working over there, it doesn't look like a paddy field, are they all growing vegetables?" ”
Li Changhui nodded: "There are those who grow vegetables, and there are those who open up wasteland, we are going to plant a lot of vegetables, do you want to go over with me to have a look?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly nodded: "Okay, okay, Master Li leads the way." ”
Li Changhui leaned the hoe against the wall, explained to Lin He, and raised his hand to signal the shopkeeper Zhang to follow.
I didn't go too far, I first went to see the place where the leeks were grown, a lush piece of leeks, next to a piece of chives, looking at it from a distance, like a wheat field.
Shopkeeper Zhang was surprised: "Planting so much, Master Li is planning to grow and sell vegetables specifically?" ”
I've lived for half my life, and I haven't seen anyone grow vegetables like this, especially this leek, most of them are just a few bushes in any corner, and that's enough.
After all, leeks are different from other vegetables, they can grow after cutting, and they grow very quickly when watered.
"It's just that it looks good and looks a lot."
Chef Yang had already walked to the front in a few steps, stretched his neck to look at the leek field: "This leek grows really good, I have been buying vegetables for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a good leek." ”
Li Changhui smiled: "It really looks good." ”
There are not many leeks in this piece, in fact, it is only two or three points, but the leeks grow fast, and the place that is cut in the morning is re-splashed with water, and the second stubble can be cut in five or six days at most.
It grows faster than chives, and it's so simple that you don't have to worry about it at all, except for watering.
The white onion of the chives is more fragrant than the green onions, and if you want the green onions to be whiter, it is also for the chives to grow better and faster, and every once in a while, you have to pull out the shallots, divide them into one plant, and plant them again in rows.
The replanted chives will continue to sprout and grow a large handful, which is faster and more delicious than the chives propagated by sprinkling seeds, and they will hardly grow green onions, because it is too late.
Just like at this time, the chives that used to be planted one by one, now each plant has multiplied several plants, and then wait, you can dig it out and sell it, just leave a small handful to continue to plant.
Chef Yang had already seen the chives next to him, and strode over: "Master Li, your green onions are also very good, it just so happens that I didn't buy enough green onions today, can you buy some?" ”
glanced at the shopkeeper and saw that he didn't stop him, so he said, "Yes, how much do you want." ”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the field of chives, ready to pluck the green onions.
The roots of chives are relatively shallow, and the soil is also very loose, so you don't need to use tools, just pull them out.
"Alas, Master Li, you came by yourself, don't you call a person?"
They had called for the door at the front, and an old woman who was said to be recuperating told them to go to the back door to look for them, but there was no one in the house.
Even if there is no one in this family, how can you work in the field, you have to do it yourself?
"It's too far, just pluck some green onions, and I'm not tired, is this enough?"
In just these two sentences, Li Changhui already had an extra roll of chives in his arms.
"Enough is enough." Chef Yang nodded again and again, reached out and took the chives: "How much." ”
At the same time, he did not forget to signal the shopkeeper Zhang to pay the money.
However, Li Changhui shook his head: "I don't know, ask my wife when I go back later." ”
Chef Yang, who was holding chives, Shopkeeper Zhang, who had just taken out his money bag, and Xiao Er, who was looking around behind him, were all stunned.
After being silent for a moment, Shopkeeper Zhang laughed twice: "It turns out that Mr. Li's family is still Mrs. Li's housekeeper, so let's go back and ask Mrs. Li in a while." ”
It's unusual, I haven't seen a woman in charge.
Li Changhui didn't care at all: "There are other vegetables being planted over there, do you want to go over and take a look, although it's late, but it's growing fast, and it won't be long before there should be other vegetables." ”
Shopkeeper Zhang and Chef Yang naturally wanted to go, and they also gave the chives to Xiao Er and let him hold them.
The vegetable field is not far away, but next to the vineyard, naturally they also saw a large piece of grapes, and when they learned that this grape actually belonged to the Li family, several people were surprised again.
Of course, more of it is still speechless and inexplicable, this grape is very sour, what to do with so many grapes, this is not a waste of manpower and material resources.
