Chapter 146 146. Luxurious breakfast
There were not many people eating in the morning. In total, there were only Song Youde and his wife, Zhang Yanping who was sleeping in, and the seventh cousin's family.
Counting it all down, there are nine people.
Cousin Seven asked about the number of people and re-evaluated yesterday’s food intake, so he and Grandma Seven started cooking without saying a word, washing rice and lighting a fire.
Those who do farm work should not drink anything thin early in the morning, otherwise they will lose strength.
Song Tan had just gotten up, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Seventh cousin, why did you ask Grandma Qi to come into the kitchen? Didn't I spend one salary to hire two people? It's a big advantage."
The seventh cousin then said with a arrogant tone:
"It's just your salary of three melons and two dates. Isn't that what it means? It's okay to let your seventh grandma do the work. When you get older, you can't stay still. Once a person doesn't move, he will be wasted."
This is true.
If the elderly in the village slowly stop working, no matter whether they are unable to work or simply don’t want to work, their health will decline very quickly.
However, what is the salary of three melons and two dates?
Song Tanxin said: Uncle Zhang on the mountain only gets two thousand a month!
But she didn't say anything else. She just said to Song Sancheng: "Dad, you guys have been tired for the past two days. Don't work today. I'll go to my grandpa's house to pick up the pig food later. You can eat it at home." Let’s weigh the bamboo shoots.”
In the past, Song Sancheng would definitely have said: How can my daughter do such a job?
But now, he is smiling: "Oh, my girl is still filial! Okay, don't worry, your bamboo shoot dad will definitely take care of it for you!"
Going to his grandparents’ house, Song Youde had just come back from outside, and there was still some wet soil on his feet. At this moment, he looked at the vast sky and said firmly: "It will definitely rain today. Tan Tan, are you still going to sell vegetables?"
“Sell!” Song Tan was more sure than him: “It won’t rain much today. Besides, I’ve informed everyone in the group.”
"Okay." No one in the village took the rain seriously: "Just remember to wear a hat."
Grandma skillfully scooped out a bucket full of pig food with a big ladle. At this moment, through the pig food, she seemed to be able to see her big fat piglet...
“Tantan, I’ve been raising this little pig for more than half a month, and I see it’s growing very fast. It’s getting warmer soon, does it mean we don’t need to cook the pig food anymore?”
Dilute some wheat bran and rice bran with water, and mix it with other messy things, and the pigs can still eat it.
“Yes,” Song Tan nodded:
“Grandma, you should have reminded me earlier, but I forgot and made you work hard for so long.”
“What’s so hard about this!” Wang Lifen smiled so hard that she couldn’t even see her teeth: “Only when you have something to do every day will your life be complete!”
“Besides, that little pig is too small. There is no harm in eating pig food for a few more days. It’s safe.”
Song Youde was scraping the mud under his rubber shoes with a piece of bamboo. At this moment, he also said happily: "Tantan, have you gone to the fields to see? The seedlings that were just removed yesterday look different today." , this year is guaranteed to be a good year!”
Song Tan thought to himself, can he not grow strong?
Yesterday, I climbed up the back mountain in the middle of the night. The first few hours were given to the peach grove, and the last few hours were given to the fields.
The king and the two treasures were all happy, but only the three and four treasures in the chestnut forest were aggrieved.
Tonight, it is necessary to have both rain and dew!
Alas, the top is spinning during the day, and the top is spinning at night!
If there is not a good harvest, the faces that are more than a hundred years old will be torn off and trampled on!
It’s a pity that no one understands this pain.
“What else is there to do this morning? If nothing happens, I will take a few nets to catch fish in the ditch. Yesterday, when the water was released, many fish washed down.”
Song Tan wanted to sigh again when he talked about this.
If you want the fish to grow well, the spiritual energy of the two ponds is indispensable. I am like a sponge that is tightly grasped by people. Every drop comes out in the east and a drop comes out in the west. It is really squeezed out. She thought for a while:
“Don’t worry, grandpa, you and my dad can build some big stoves for my seventh cousin at the door. For our family to eat, it’s better to have a bigger stove.”
Even though they only had nine people in total, if they really let go, they still had enough appetite for ten or twenty people. It's not like asking the seventh cousin to huddle in his kitchen all the time.
"OK."
Song Youde looked at the sky: "Then you go sell vegetables early today. Your father and I will build a shed and build a stove in the morning. It will probably rain again in the afternoon. Then we will go and see your seventh cousin's old house. How to fix it inside."
Grandma Wang Lifen was still a little confused: "Isn't it...not busy anymore?"
The past few days had been as busy as a war, and she was a little anxious when picking tea leaves.
Now it’s quiet enough to say it’s quiet, but I’m still a little at a loss.
Thinking about it, he quickly tied the basket again: "Isn't this meal not ready yet? I'll go for a walk on the tea mountain first."
Song Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Grandma, if you just go around twice, I will only give you a salary of 100 yuan a day. Why bother? You have to be lazy when you should be lazy."
Wang Lifen also laughed: "Why are you being lazy when you help your granddaughter? But if you go around Chashan and come back for dinner, you won't be able to do much work...otherwise I will help you feed the pigs."
Ouch, I don’t dare to do this.
The mountain road is not easy to walk, and her grandmother’s small body may not be able to withstand carrying such a heavy pig food bucket.
Song Tan thought for a while: "I see that there are a lot of wild vegetables growing in the back mountain. Grandma, if you have time, you can help dig them back."
Over the peach grove, because the soil has just been plowed and exposed to the sun, the grass roots do not germinate so quickly.
But around the area where the spiritual energy had escaped, the wild vegetables were growing everywhere. Even though it's Qingming now, there are still fresh and tender buds growing.
—It would be embarrassing not to eat it.
However, grandma thought for a while and said: "Ask your mother to go and let your mother take some time to rest. I'd better go pick tea, and I'll get paid."
Song Tan:…
This salary of one hundred yuan is really useful.
She went back with the pig food bucket, but she saw that Wu Lan and Song Sancheng had already called Zhang Yanping and Qiao Qiao. The four of them were weighing and packing at the same time. They were really fast.
Looking at the kitchen, smoke was curling up. Grandma Qi was sitting in front of the stove, constantly adding fire to the stove.
There was fragrant rice cooking in the pot, and on one side stood the seventh cousin. At this moment, he was holding a handful of sour cowpeas that he had dug out from somewhere, and he was chopping them with a knife.
Chop the sour cowpea into fine pieces.
I picked out the leftover chili peppers from yesterday, chopped them up, and beat a bowl of eggs.
Finally, I searched around the kitchen again, picked out a few yellow cabbages, and directly fried them with garlic cloves.
When the vegetables were fried, the rice here had already bloomed. The seventh cousin skillfully held the ladle, scooped up the excess rice soup, and then slowly simmered the rice with the remaining fire.
The rice soup was not wasted. I put it in the pot directly, added some chopped milkvetch in the refrigerator, and cracked two eggs. The green leaf and yellow flower clear rice soup is tempting!
Everyone sat on the table in a hurry and looked at the three dishes and one soup in front of them. It was obviously not luxurious, but it was more than enough, but everyone present swallowed their saliva.
How to say?
Now that we have a chef, this breakfast is finally not a fool!
