After giggling for a while, I finally decided on the vegetables to be planted this year.

The first is tomatoes, and the second is cucumbers, which are unanimously agreed by the four girls plus Chen Fan.

In the era of lack of fruits, these two almost replaced the functions of fruits in the countryside, and children in the countryside who did not have the experience of picking tomatoes in the vegetable garden and eating them directly?

In winter, there are no such dishes, and white radish and carrot have also been alternated, but the taste is not as good as these two after all.

In addition, Chen Fan asked for potatoes to be planted under cucumber seedlings, and also decided to plant a little pepper and eggplant.

Anyway, throughout the year, there are spring plantings and summer harvests, autumn plantings and winter harvests, and different vegetable plantings in different seasons.

While talking and working, time passed quickly, and after a while, the vegetable patch was finished, and the four of them hurried to prepare lunch.

Chen Fan returned to the room to rest for a while, and then was called to eat.

That's when he said he was going to have a safe meal tomorrow night.

Jiang Lili looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Is that simpler or more hearty?" ”

Chen Fan thought for a while, "It's better to be rich, invite the security cadres, and Captain Yang, Accountant Liu, and Huang Custodian will definitely be invited." ”

Jiang Lili pondered for two seconds and said, "If you want to be a little richer, then you need fresh meat and vegetables, but now there is only bacon and bacon, and the chicks have grown for a month and a half, and they weigh less than half a catty, it is a pity to kill at this time, three old hens are also laying eggs, or, look at which one sells roosters in the team, buy one and come back to kill and eat, and get some small potatoes to stew together, this is a big dish." Kill a big fish, make a sauerkraut fish, and then get some bacon stir-fried vegetables, it is a very hearty table. ”

Huang Ying immediately said, "I have small potatoes in my house, I'll dig a little later." ”

Chen Fan looked at her and smiled, "I'm in for a treat, how can I go to your house to dig vegetables." ”

Huang Ying said confidently, "We are here to learn skills from you, and you will not confiscate our tuition, what is it to take some potatoes." ”

Yang Ju followed and said, "The vegetables here are only radishes and greens, and they have all been dug up by us this year, the greens are old, and they can't be put away, so they can only be fed to pigs and rabbits, so you can't just use radishes to entertain guests." It just so happens that I still have spinach, celery and choy sum in my garden, and tomorrow I will pick some and come back, and it will look better. ”

Liu Dan also hurriedly said, "I have a rooster at home, and I have just raised it for 3 months, and it is the best time for meat, so I will go back and catch it later." ”

Chen Fan looked at the three of them, blinked his eyes, and suddenly smiled, "How do you feel like you are in a competition, Huang Ying wants to dig potatoes, and Yang Ju wants to pick vegetables." ”

He said and looked at Liu Dan, and couldn't help laughing, "You are even more ruthless, just catch all the chickens in the house, and you are not afraid that your parents will beat you." ”

Jiang Lili was eating with her head down while holding her rice bowl, and when she heard this, she almost squirted out a mouthful of rice.

Look at him first, and then look at the three girls who are a little uncomfortable, can't help but purse the corners of their lips, and continue to eat.

Chen Fan saw that the three of them were a little embarrassed when they said something, so they snorted and said with a smile, "Okay, just do what you say." ”

After a pause, he said again, "But if you take a little potatoes and vegetables, you will take it, Liu Dan, your rooster is too expensive to take for nothing, I will exchange an old hen with you." ”

Swapping an old hen for a rooster may seem like a loss, but if it is eaten, it is very different.

The meat of the rooster is more tender and elastic, whether it is fried, fried, fried, stewed, roasted, and burned, the rooster is the first choice. Especially the young rooster that has just come of age, the taste is even more unique.

However, because of the large number of eggs laid by hens, the growth cycle is long, and the meat quality is relatively harder, which is very difficult to stew. In particular, this kind of unimproved local chicken often has to be stewed for more than two hours, and the older the old hen, the less likely it is to stew, even if it is stewed to the end, the meat quality is relatively woody.

Therefore, the most suitable old hen is to make chicken soup.

Hen soup is the only way to cook better than rooster soup, and the deliciousness of chicken soup is not comparable to that of roosters. Therefore, there is a saying of "hen soup, rooster meat" in Yunhu locally.

But he exchanged like this, but Liu Dan was unwilling, and immediately said angrily, "You want their things, you don't want my things, it's just a little rooster, you still shared so much money with me last time you burned pottery, so what should I pay back?" ”

As he spoke, his eyes were red.

When Chen Fan saw it, he suddenly felt a little numb, why did he still cry.

Give me something, don't you still can't do it?

They just take a little potatoes and greens, can they compare with a little rooster of yours?

He blinked his eyes and hurriedly asked the three girls next to him for help.

Well, one by one, they almost buried their faces in the bowl, like pigs grabbing food.

Chen Fan smacked his lips, and had to say helplessly, "Okay, okay, okay, then I won't change it, you can catch the little rooster tomorrow, okay." ”

Liu Dan immediately burst into tears and laughed, and immediately nodded vigorously, "I'll catch it later." ”

Chen Fan nodded, looked at the three of them again, and said angrily, "If you don't look up again, I will suffocate you." ”

At this time, even Jiang Lili couldn't help it, the three of them laughed together, and even the rice bowl was almost unstable.

After a burst of laughter, Chen Fan told them about the decision of the meeting yesterday, and finally said, "So, in a few days, after the team headquarters contacts the breeding station and purchases enough chicken seedlings, you will also be a 'master' to teach others to raise earthworms and how to use earthworms to raise chickens."

When the time comes, you must explain all kinds of precautions clearly, I know that some people are very busy, so busy that they don't even have time to drink saliva, but breeding is not a trivial matter, and the previous kind of free-range breeding model that does not ask can not be compared.

They raise a few chickens at home, sprinkle a handful of rice bran when they remember, and let the chickens find food by themselves if they don't remember.

But large-scale farming is different, when the time comes, you ask them, is it that the chickens at home often get sick, and in serious cases, there are still sick and dead? ……”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Dan nodded again and again, "Yes, one of the chickens in my second uncle's house died of illness last year, and the other ones almost died, and then I went to the veterinarian station to buy medicine and came back to feed it, and I was saved." ”

Chen Fan didn't blame her for interjecting nonsense, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, this situation is not uncommon, and many times it is caused by chickens eating insects in the field." Earthworms are similar to wild insects, with the same germs, if not treated and fed directly, it is likely to cause chickens to be infected with infectious diseases, and then the loss is not their family, it is likely to affect the chickens of other people in the team, so we must be extremely cautious. ”

Hearing this, Huang Ying thought for a long time and asked a little worriedly, "Then what if someone is unwilling?" ”

According to Chen Fan, the risk of raising chickens seems to be not small, and she knows very well that many people in the team are actually unwilling to take risks, so they like to live a steady life.

Chen Fan looked at her and said with a smile, "Our principle is to be voluntary, not forced." Because the chickens are handed over to the members' families to raise, it is also for the benefit of everyone, and the members who raise chickens can convert them into work according to the number of chickens, or they can keep them for themselves, and only pay back the money for the chickens to the commune, and the members themselves get the benefits.

If you don't want to, then when other people's chickens make money, don't blame the brigade headquarters for not letting them raise chickens.

In addition, the brigade headquarters will also run a chicken farm, so whether the members' families raise it or not does not affect the overall situation. ”

He said and looked at the four girls, "Anyway, you only need to teach others the techniques of raising earthworms and chickens with earthworms, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

Jiang Lili thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Do I want to teach too?" ”

Chen Fan looked at her and smiled, "You can also use this technique, of course it must be counted among you." ”

After a pause, he smiled again, "But don't worry, if you do this, you will earn a lot more work than you will go to the ground, and you will not suffer." ”
