Chapter 45: Vegetable Garden Picking and Mountain Pleasures

The vegetable garden was originally planned to be more than ten acres large, and Li Dong was ready to engage in vegetable picking at the beginning, but in the later stage, the investment did not keep up with the second, and there were no guests, so only a piece of reclamation was only about half an acre, and he still found others to help plant it in the early stage.

Recently, Li Dong has taken care of it himself, but fortunately, he has taken care of it well for a while recently, the weeds around him have been cleared, and a few trails have been pulled out, and there is no problem with picking.

"Tomatoes. ”

The girls saw the red tomatoes, and went straight to the past, and the tomatoes hanging on the branches and the tomatoes in the supermarket were completely different, especially the contrast between red and green, and the contrast between cooked and raw was particularly vivid.

I couldn't help but want to pick one and taste it, but I didn't care about whether I pricked my hands or not, Liu Qing'er took the lead in picking one. "It's so beautiful. ”

"Qing'er, you can do it, how did you pick it?"

Xu Yue has never been in the vegetable garden since he was a child, and he admires Liu Qing'er a little.

"It's easy to pick it up. ”

Liu Qing'er was a little proud, and couldn't help but pick two and put them in the basket, everyone seemed to be really easy to see, follow along, don't say it's not difficult.

"Don't pick this kind of unripe one. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Li Dong said with a smile. "Half red, in fact, it's red on the inside. As he spoke, he picked a large tomato, which was half red and half green, and broke it open, but it was not all red inside. "Let's try it, it's delicious. ”

The tomatoes planted in the vegetable garden are not the same as the varieties sold in the supermarket, do not need to consider the transportation problem, the choice is the taste of flour and glutinous, moderate sweet and sour, and a variety with a unique fragrance, suitable for raw eating, cold dressing, stir-frying, the shortcomings are quite obvious not suitable for long-distance transportation for a long time.

Breaking the tomatoes and rustling, drooling when I look at them, a few girls have just eaten enough, and they can't help but taste it, this one can't taste it. "It's delicious, it's different from the tomatoes you usually buy. ”

"Yes, sweet and sour, so juicy. ”

"The meat is glutinous, and there is a fragrance. ”

"Is there a secret?"

"Brother-in-law, can you tell me?"

"The secret, there is really nothing, but when choosing tomato varieties, I chose a better taste, and then there is the use of soil fertilizer, and the water that is usually watered is spring water, and there is really nothing else. Li Dong said with a smile, if you want to say that your tomatoes are really not too beautiful, they are not too big, but the taste is really good.

A few girls heard that there was no secret to this, no wonder the supermarket could not compare, soil fertilizer, spring water, no wonder it was delicious, the girls picked it more energetically, and they were ready to take some back to their families to taste, so rare and delicious, and healthy.

Gao Jiaxin said, my brother-in-law really made the farm look good, look at the vegetable garden is very good, go back and talk to my parents, it's good to come to the farm for two days, and there is nothing to do at home after retirement.

"Don't pick all the tomatoes. ”

"At noon, we all picked the vegetables in the vegetable garden, and we picked whatever we wanted. ”

Gao Jia said with a smile. "Brother-in-law, no problem, right?"

"No problem, just pick whatever you want, pick whatever you eat. ”

Li Dong said with a smile. "The cucumbers are also good to eat raw, crisp and raw, and there is a small piece of fruit cucumber. ”

"Really, let's pick some then. ”

Tomatoes and cucumbers can be eaten raw, and everyone picks them while eating, and they don't say that they eat too much and want to lose weight. "Wow, come here, there's a big pumpkin over here. ”

"What's so strange about a bigger pumpkin. ”

"This one is super big. ”

Xu Yue was fussed, Li Dong glanced at it, obediently, I didn't even notice this pumpkin, it was quite big, this one weighed thirty or forty pounds. "Can you eat this?"

"You can eat it. ”

The main thing is that you can't eat, Li Dong said with a smile. "Okay, I'll come, I'll make you a casserole pumpkin at noon, and you will each bring a piece when you go back, or you won't waste it." ”

"Okay. ”

The big pumpkin is really not light, Li Dong is a little pressed when he holds it, not to mention Gao Jia's girls, they can't move one by one after trying. "Thank you, brother-in-law. ”

"Do you want to pick some else?"

"Peppers, eggplants, and beans?"

"Then pick some of them all. ”

Xu Yue and Liu Qing'er glanced at each other, so come and pick more points, fishing is also for fun, and picking vegetables is also quite fun, isn't it. Li Dong moved the pumpkin to the ridge and put it on the ridge, and picked another winter melon and put it on the side.

Sitting on the ridge and watching Gao Jia and a few girls playing in the vegetable field, the wild boy came to Li Dong's side to rub, but this thing didn't float. "Brother-in-law, take a few pictures for me. ”

"It's coming. ”

After playing in the vegetable field for an hour, everyone carried the harvested vegetable basket to the ridge.

"Go back and get some rest. ”

The mighty team returned to the farm, Han Weiguo had already arrived, and it was quite surprising to see that the guests were all beautiful little girls. "Uncle Wei Guo, here. Li Dong put down the pumpkin and winter melon, and greeted Han Weiguo with a smile.

"Coming, guest?"

"Yes, my sister-in-law and her friend. ”

When he came to the kitchen, Li Dong took out today's ingredients. "This is a rookie snake?"

"I met it yesterday, Uncle Wei Guo will make you a snake soup later, and pheasant stewed chestnuts, the pheasant is locked in a cage, and then a soft-shelled turtle, and I will go to the reservoir to get some fish and shrimp in a while, and then get a pot, it's almost." ”

Vegetables, here to make casserole pumpkin, different steamed pumpkin which is a little fried to collect water The pumpkin appears sweeter, and then there is an eight-treasure glutinous rice, girls like to eat sweets, corn branded ready-made corn.

"Okay, I'll prepare. ”

Han Weiguo took Li Dongkai's menu and began to get busy.

Li Dong finished explaining and went out of the kitchen, carrying a basket of bamboo poles and preparing to go out to beat chestnuts, now the chestnuts are just delicious, tender can be eaten raw, sweet and crispy, old stewed pheasant.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"Go chestnut hunting, are you going?"

"Beat chestnuts. ”

When a few girls heard this, they immediately came to their senses, okay, it must be fun to beat chestnuts.

"Let's take a look. ”

"Alright, I'll get you some tools. ”

The layer of thorns on the outside of the chestnut can't be used directly, and it's uncomfortable to pierce, so Li Dong simply took two tongs from the kitchen.

"What is my brother-in-law doing with it?"

"Qing'er, you forgot that there is a layer of thorns on the outside of the chestnut. ”

"Eighty percent of us have forgotten about this stubble. ”

A few girls laughed, Li Dong shook his head, the status of chestnuts is some distance away, there are them in the village, but Li Dong has contracted a few chestnut trees on the mountain, but there is no need to buy them.

Stop-and-go, this road is not idle. "Wow, it's a jujube tree, brother-in-law, is this your family?"

"Sort of. ”

A few jujube trees, not tall or small, not many jujube bearers, very dry, fruit trees also suffered. Anyway, there are still some of them, and a few girls beat them, and they stuff them in their mouths without washing and scrubbing. "It's so sweet. ”

"It's pretty sweet. ”

Filming all the way, beating dates, having fun, originally a ten minutes away, stunned to walk for half an hour. "Let's just shoot this one. ”

There is also a large chestnut tree in front of it, but it still has to walk a little way, and it doesn't take much chestnut to stew chicken.

Wielding a bamboo pole, Li Dong asked the girl to wait on the side, put on a hat by herself, and the chestnut smashed on her head. After a beating, the chestnuts fell to the ground, Li Dong put down the bamboo pole and several girls rushed over.

"Don't get started, prickly hands. ”

It was still too late to say this, Liu Qing'er and Qian Tongtong were stabbed, and the two girls had forgotten what they had just said when they came, and the chestnuts were pierced on the outside. "Are you alright?"

"It's fine. ”

"With fire tongs. ”

Li Dong stepped on a few tender chestnuts with his feet, removed the outer layer of thorns, and handed the chestnuts with the blue skin inside to Liu Qing'er and Xu Yue. "Taste, tender chestnuts are quite sweet when eaten raw. ”

"Eat it raw?"

This is really rarely eaten raw, usually there are rarely such tender chestnuts, in fact, tender chestnuts and tender walnuts, raw eating is really good, sweet and crispy, very good taste. The two of them took the peel and put one into their mouths, their eyes lit up. "It's delicious. ”

"Everyone tasted it, and it tasted good, so I kept it when I was old and went back to stew pheasant. ”

Li Dong said with a smile, and handed a few more to Gao Jia, but he didn't eat it, he usually didn't eat less, and it took another hour to pick chestnuts back and forth. It was almost half past ten when I returned to the small courtyard of the farm, and I had a lot of fun all the way and took a lot of photos.

"Do you want to go fishing?"

Gao Jia saw Li Dong go to the kitchen to deliver chestnuts, and asked a few partners softly, this will be a lot of sun.

"Forget it. ”

"The sun is quite big, sun. ”

The sun was too big, and Li Dong was about to prepare fishing tools when he heard a few people saying that the sun was too big. "I have a straw hat here, do you want to wear it. ”

Seeing the girl's hesitation, Li Dong said with a smile. "New straw hats. ”

"Then let's go play. ”

"I happened to go to collect the fish. ”

Yesterday I got a fishing net, and I will collect it, and I will make fish for everyone to eat, but I will eat what fish I eat.

"Collect the fish, then let's go and see. ”

Fishing, for girls, really doesn't have much interest, but you can follow the fish to see.

The group put on straw hats, carried buckets and set off with Li Dong, fishing or not fishing is a trivial matter to see the scenery, and taking pictures is a big thing.

Come to the reservoir, the scenery here is really good, although the reservoir between the two mountains is not a thousand miles of blue waves, it looks quite a little area from a distance. "Wow, there's a boat?"

"Brother-in-law, are you going to row a boat to collect fishing nets?"

"yes, do you want to take a boat later?"

"Great. ”

One by one, I was overjoyed, and it was so interesting to take a boat, especially this kind of small boat similar to a canopy boat, and I really came to the right reservoir. "Slow down for a moment. ”

Came to the small wharf, a few girls on the newly built small wharf also took a few photos, then got on the boat, Li Dong rowed, the girls took pictures in the cabin, played, and after a while, the boat arrived at the stone island in the center of the reservoir.

Where the water fell out, everyone went to the island and took pictures, Li Dong reminded him to be careful not to fall into the water, and he was busy collecting the fishing nets, and his luck was not bad, he actually caught a few big crucian carp. "At noon, give everyone a braised crucian carp, and then make a small pot of miscellaneous fish. ”

"The fish soup in the pot tastes good. ”

"Guoba, my favorite food. ”

The firewood hot pot is a small feature of the farm, everyone likes to eat, whether it is in the broth, or in the fish soup.

"Hey, what's that?"

"Oh, I'm a tenant in the reservoir. ”

Li Dong looked up and saw that it was the swan couple, who were swimming slowly towards this side, and they couldn't see clearly from a distance.

"Tenants?"

"Well, two whooper swans. ”
