Chapter 316: Drizzle
Other villages have almost given up, even if there are some things that are reluctant, they must have made a choice, but the villagers of Chenhui Village are still insisting, and the support of the captain and the branch secretary is indispensable.
After all, the village has really made a lot of money, those grains and fertilizers, but they are really sprinkled into the ground, if all of them are allowed to die of seedlings, then their village is basically more than half of this year, even if it rains later, the villagers do not have so many seeds, delayed.
When the time comes, maybe you have to make an IOU and borrow seeds from above, not to mention that the whole process is time-consuming and laborious, for fear that it will take too long, delay the agricultural time, and affect the harvest.
There are people in the village who are dissatisfied, especially when they hear people from other villages ridiculing them for being stupid, they want to give up, but they are finally suppressed.
During this time, the village became silent for a long time, even the village entrance information station, which was the favorite of the village ladies, there was no one sitting there chattering, and they would rather lie down at home than sit here and consume more food.
The main force in the village to carry water is young and middle-aged, and the others, after eating, lie on the bed as much as possible and do not move, lest the little gruel that they drink will be digested at once, turned into a bubble of urine, and discharged.
Qin Xi felt very sorry for Qin Jiang, his tired waist was almost straight every day, and his legs were trembling, this was tired, compared to these, his tanned skin was not worth mentioning at all.
Therefore, during this time, the meals she cooked were all oily and watery, and she felt that the bacon at home was not good to eat, and it was easy to catch fire, so she went to the county seat with Tang Ying again, bought four pork ribs and came back to cook soup and drink.
Of course, she carried some grain back, twenty catties of peanuts, ten catties of rice, ten catties of flour, this is the upper limit of the basket, not hers, if she has the strength, she will buy some more.
After all, the food cabinet at home has been made and sent over, and the only thing she wants to do now is to fill the food cabinet, which is not in vain for her to work so hard for this wooden box.
Although she is not very good at making flour, she still knows how to fry flour, which requires an iron pot, washed and dried, and slowly fried over low heat.
At the beginning, she only poured more than a pound of flour into it, after all, it was the first actual operation after coming here, and there was nothing wrong with being careful, but it was still a success, thanks to her slow temperament and willingness to spend time and patience to fry slowly.
The fried flour exuded a rich wheat aroma, and the two people next door were hooked to suck the wheat-scented air, and the hala was about to flow out.
Fried flour is packed in a cloth bag and put in the grain cabinet, which is very suitable, and it will not be damp at all, and in the morning, scoop some out and rinse it with hot water, which is very suitable, both convenient and full.
In order to match these fried flour, Qin Xi also deliberately went to the black market in Yongxin County, spent a huge amount of money to buy a hot water bottle back, and put it in her house, not to mention anything else, when taking hot water, it is much more convenient, she regretted it a little at this time, this hot water bottle was bought late, this kind of practical good thing, should have been bought back a long time ago.
She won't fry too much flour at one time, a pot has a look of three or four catties, and she will fry it again after eating.
In addition, fried rice is also a good choice, and a sister-in-law in her previous life liked to ask her to go to her house in the morning to drink oil tea.
One of the most important is the fried rice brewed inside, the production process of her rice is more complicated, the rice needs to use a kind of pearl rice of their local specialty, washed and boiled with water, the rice should be spread out and dried, dried until the grains are distinct, and then slowly fry the dried rice over low heat until each grain of rice is slightly swollen.
As for the water for brewing fried rice, it is very simple, add water to the pot and add tea leaves and ginger slices, boil it, take a small bowl and scoop some fried rice, and then rush into the ginger tea, and the oil tea will be made overnight, which is still very simple.
In mid-April, close to the end of April, the sky finally changed.
The miserable villagers ran to tell each other with a smile on their faces, and they were full of anticipation for the upcoming rain.
Especially the villagers of Chenhui Village, although all the crops in the field are not very climatic, but something is better than nothing, especially the seedlings in the rice field, it is really impossible to wait any longer.
In the afternoon of this day, the captain Chen Aiguo and the branch secretary Chen Zongze coincidentally went to the cowshed, which contained the important property of the village, ploughing cattle, and then they had to work hard, and they had to be fed and fattened to work.
That night, the fine and dense and continuous light raindrops fell on the roof and the road outside, and many emotional villagers ran directly into the rain, excited! They are finally saved!
It wasn't just a rain, it gave them hope.
But it's a pity that the rain is not heavy, the fine and dense light rain fell all night, and the next morning when he got up, Qin Xi took a shovel and shoveled it on the vegetable field behind the house, and found that he might have thought too much, and this light rain also wet the ground by half a centimeter to a centimeter, not to mention plowing the field, even peanuts and soybeans can't be planted.
The only consolation is that the sky is still gloomy, and even if it doesn't rain heavily, it may fall after a while.
Now there is hope, and it will not be worse than before.
As soon as it rained, Qin Xi planned to plant some peanuts in the field as soon as the heavy rain fell, as for the sweet potatoes, it was not that she didn't want to plant them, but she couldn't get seedlings.
Liu Mei hid under the window behind the kitchen, watching Qin Xi make the whole vegetable field, and her heart suddenly mentioned, this land should have her and Qin He's share, this Qin Xi doesn't want to eat more and occupy more!
This kind of thing, she felt that she was not good to come forward, so as not to quarrel with Qin Xi, Qin He was the most suitable person, because he was Qin Xi's second brother, the three of them chose here at the beginning, and now they have separated, so Qin He should have a share of all the things in this family, including the vegetable field behind the house.
But Qin He was not at home now, so he went to the granary in the village with Qin Jiang for a meeting.
Now that the granary is empty, the whole village, and only that place, can accommodate so many people on a rainy day.
Qin Xi didn't know that Liu Mei was peeping in the back at all, and even if she knew, she couldn't tell people to get out, after all, there was really no privacy to speak of in such a thing as farming, at most she was a little uncomfortable.
She had already told Qin Jiang about planting peanuts, and when the heavy rain came down, she would plant them immediately, and there would be no delay.
