024 Digging spring bamboo shoots
The next day, Chang Ning finished watering several other fields and checked the growth of each vegetable field.
The growth trend of tomatoes and cucumbers is very optimistic, and eggplant beans are also germinating and growing normally.
Then he returned to the first field, loosened the soil on the ground again, and dug a pit to plant the next wave of cabbage.
Because the seeds contain nutrients, the land that has been planted once becomes fertile and of good quality.
In another 10 days, it will be a bumper harvest.
Chang Ning was working hard, Han Yuyuan didn't know when he arrived in the field, and he was still carrying a bucket of water in his hand.
Chang Ning frowned, and quickly took the bucket from his hand, "Who asked you to do manual work, you can't stand on your feet and ...... everywhere"
Chang Ning looked at the man standing straight in front of him, and said in surprise: "You don't shake anymore?" β
Obviously he shook like a drunk when he was at the entrance of the village yesterday.
"Well, it's better to get some sleep."
Sprinkle peppercorns on the graveβββ and hemp ghosts (fool people).
Chang Ning said with disdain: "You are pretending to be sick!" β
It made her think that she had asked him to do farm work and tore his wounds!
Han Yuyuan smiled: "Wronged, the wound is really not good, I don't believe you ask the village chief!" β
Since he was able to change the medicine himself, Cao Nianshun hasn't come again, what did she ask?
However, based on the recovery speed of the seven days after he was injured, he dared to support her to go up the mountain to fight rabbits, and now he is not surprised that he is performing a flying eaves in front of Chang Ning.
"You can mention it if you want, I'm just happy!" Chang Ning said hatefully: "But if the wound bleeds again, I won't care about you!"
Han Yuyuan was scolded, but his mood was surprisingly good, and he replied with a comfortable handsome face: "Okay, I deserve to die when the time comes."
Chang Ning glanced at him, took the hoe and continued to go back to dig the pit.
But with the presence of Han Yuan, Chang Ning can indeed feel that doing farm work is much easier.
For example, she digs pits and waters the cold abyss.
She sows seeds, and covers the cold abyss.
The first time, it took her half a day to complete the work, and this time it was all done in just two hours.
For this reason, Chang Ning looked at Han Yuyuan's gaze a lot, and asked, "Is your wound okay?" β
Han Yuyuan leaned closer, and smiled meaningfully, "The wound is fine, not a single crack has been opened, do you want to take a look?" β
The answer to Han Yuyuan was another blank eye.
"Since it's okay, then dig bamboo shoots with me, I didn't buy fresh pork yesterday, and today I make bamboo shoots and fried bacon!"
Now the season is the time when the bamboo shoots emerge, they are fresh and tender, and the bamboo shoots are stored for a long time, so you can dig a little bit while they are not long.
Han Yuyuan immediately took the sickle on his back with a basket on his back, and was always in a state of readiness.
It seems that as long as Chang Ning gives an order, he can clean up that bamboo forest!
There is a col in the southwest corner of Fuyan Mountain, there is a large bamboo forest growing in the col, March and April is a good time to dig spring bamboo shoots, and when they arrive in Changning, there are other people in the bamboo forest digging.
Most of them are some residents in the village, and Chang Ning has basically seen them when he delivers food, but he hasn't said a word, so he said hello to each other and went to find bamboo shoots.
Digging bamboo shoots is also necessary to pay attention to skills, for example, after finding fresh bamboo shoots, you should not dig directly, you should start digging a pit a few inches away from the bamboo shoots, and then dig in the direction where the bamboo shoots are located after digging to a sufficient depth.
And first dig up the mud around the bamboo shoots, and then take out the broken bamboo shoots, so as to get a complete bamboo shoot.
If you dig directly, it is easy to hurt the part buried in the ground, and you may go down with a hoe and directly split the bamboo shoots in half, and the real bamboo shoots are still buried in the soil.
Chang Ning and Han Yuyuan each found a bamboo shoot, and then the two of them bent over to dig bamboo shoots, competing to see who digs the bamboo shoots.
The bamboo shoots in March are almost all early spring bamboo shoots, the taste is fresh and tender, and the bamboo can not be produced, and there is no scruple about digging it.
But after April, you should pay attention to the bamboo shoots, if it is a big head and straight like a pagoda, you can't dig it, this kind of bamboo shoots can grow into bamboo, you have to ensure the ecology of the bamboo forest in the future.
Moreover, after digging the bamboo shoots, it is necessary to plug the holes to ensure that the bamboo shoots buried below can continue to grow.
Chang Ning and Han Yuyuan dug up more than a dozen bamboo shoots after digging for half an hour, all of which were the size of a piece, enough for the two of them to eat for two or three days.
Han Yuyuan picked up the bamboo shoots into the basket, and then went home slowly with Chang Ning on his back.
After returning home, Chang Ning washed rice and cooked, while Han Yuyuan sat on the threshold and peeled bamboo shoots, and the outer layer of bamboo shoots could be used to make a fire after drying, so Han Weiyuan piled them up next to the thatched hut and was too lazy to take them out and throw them away.
At noon, Changning fried a bamboo shoot bacon and a spinach.
Although the cuisine is still simple, there is no need to think about eating the last meal and not the next meal as before.
Thinking about the other vegetables in his field, the day of three dishes and one soup is gradually not far away.
As soon as the next day dawned, Chang Ning and Han Yuyuan went to the field to harvest spinach, this dark green dish was more green than the little cabbage, and it was as quiet as an emerald.
Growing cabbage often comes with the mentality of trying, so the yield is not high.
But planting spinach is often full of confidence, and there are more seeds, and the yield is obviously much better than that of cabbage, just by visual inspection, there is probably a yield of nearly 400 catties.
The two of them couldn't catch up with the morning market if they finished it today, so Chang Ning decided to only collect half of it, and the other half the day after tomorrow, and wait until the next market day to sell it.
The two still have a clear division of labor, one collects vegetables and the other bundles.
Or according to a little more than 1 pound into a handful, bundled to the 200th Chang Ning stopped harvesting.
Chang Ning made an agreement with Da Niu on the first day, and pushed the cart directly to the field in advance to help them move the vegetables to the car.
After moving the dishes, Da Niu looked at Chang Ning and said apologetically: "That girl is really embarrassed, my brother may not be able to help you set up a stall today." β
Chang Ning asked: "It's okay, I can do it myself, do I want to live today?" β
Da Niu does manual work such as running errands in the town and helping people move and deliver goods, and the work is very hard, but the income is okay.
The main thing is to be flexible, which is convenient for the big cow to take care of the bedridden mother at home.
Da Niu said: "Today, the boss has a product that I need to send to the neighboring village, and I guess I won't be able to come back to help you out of the stall." β
"It's a good thing to be able to work, I'm okay here, you go quickly, don't delay the business!"
"Well, girl, be careful on the road."
"Good!"
Chang Ning waved his hand at him, and Da Niu's apologetic face suddenly showed a hearty and happy smile, like an idiot saying goodbye to his daughter-in-law.
Although Han Yuyuan knew that Chang Ning could not look down on the big cow, he was inevitably still a little uncomfortable in his heart, he coughed twice, and proposed to Chang Ning: "I'll go with you to sell vegetables!" β
When Chang Ning was about to refuse, Han Yuyuan added: "It's okay for me to cover my face and wear a straw hat!" β
