Chapter 15 15. Page’s great favor
The siblings went out happily.
At last one of them came back happily.
“Where is Qiaoqiao?”
Ulan asked.
Song Tan chuckled: "It's behind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a big boy turning around on the path behind him. He had a round, shiny black head and a tall and thin body. He was wiping his tears with his sleeves, feeling aggrieved, whimpering, and crying...
"Pfft!" Ulan couldn't hold back, and smiled as he went to take the basket in his hand: "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Look at our Qiaoqiao's face, it's ugly when we cry!"
Some people felt sad, and Song Qiao cried louder.
"Mom...wuwuwu mom...my sister wu...my sister doesn't farm well!"
Song Tan refused to take the blame: "Nonsense, I've sown all the seeds, why didn't I plant the land properly? Didn't I leave a handful for you to plant slowly?"
Then he explained to Wulan in a low voice: The seeds of milkvetch can be sown directly into the soil, but Qiaoqiao only knows how to grow corn, so he had to sow them one by one.
In the end, Song Tan scattered all the seeds, leaving him only a palm-sized area, and a handful of them to hold up thirty or fifty seeds, and asked Qiao Qiao to sow them one by one...
Song Qiao cried so miserably: "But you... are so stupid! If you scatter seeds randomly, no corn will grow in the future! I..."
He rubs his left and right sleeves on his face carelessly, and the more he talks, the more sad he becomes: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.. Mom, my sister is hiccup... Just give me some seeds, I plant them very seriously... There will be too little corn by then, and I won't be able to eat enough." Woo woo woo…”
He stared at Song Tan with tearful eyes: "In the future...I won't be able to support my sister anymore..."
Ouch, this silly boy!
Song Tan was so soft-hearted all of a sudden - no wonder Qiao Qiao cried so miserably, probably because he remembered what he said about farming to support himself at the beginning!
As a result, the seeds were scattered all over the place. He must have felt that there was not enough corn to eat, so he felt sad and aggrieved.
As expected, Ulan also glared at her, and quickly comforted her: "It's okay, Qiaoqiao, mom can farm, and mom will support you!"
Song Qiao stopped crying, hesitated for a long time, and then started twitching again: "Then, then I can also raise a sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Tan hugged his shoulders: "Good brother! Good Qiaoqiao! Sister is so touched - come on, stop crying, wipe your face and let's watch Peppa Pig!"
“I can watch two episodes today!”
Finally, the pink pig ended up in tears.
…
Early March.
The third day of the second lunar month is the awakening of insects.
All things begin and Cordyceps revives.
Song Tan has been back for half a month.
In the past half month, Song Sancheng and the villagers have almost tidied up the hillside, and a layer of green has appeared in the fields -
That is the milkvetch that has just sprouted and grown. The soft green emerged from the brown soil, trembling, as if it would be broken by the wind.
The villagers looked at it and marveled: "Now the seeds are not afraid of freezing! Look at this, the seeds that were only dared to be sown in March in previous years have sprouted in March."
The continuous ten or twenty acres of land are all this kind of fluffy green. The fields are scattered at different heights. At a glance, you can't help but feel happy.
Everyone in the village couldn't help but stop and take a second look when they passed by.
This is the saying "the color of grass looks far away but is not there up close".
The old man in the village led the old cow from the side and couldn't help but ask: "Tantan, when the milkvetch grows up, is it okay for me to take the cow to the field and let it go?"
Wheat vetch is nutritious and tender to eat, and is cute for cattle and sheep to eat! When oxen were needed to pull paddy fields, they had to be fed once a year. Later, they stopped farming and the oxen became old.
No one is cultivating milkvetch either.
Song Tan quickly agreed: "Okay, Grandpa Li! When the time comes, you can bring the cattle over to the two fields at the bottom and put them in, and you can eat whatever you want!"
Mirror vetch grows very fast. Start with the green leaves and you can eat them for a month!
Old man Li thought for a while: "Are you going to plant these two fields this year? How about I bring cattle to plow the fields for you?"
Otherwise, Old Man Li would be reluctant to part with it: "But my ox is old, so I have to plow slowly, and you can't rush it." "I'll plow it for you in two days, okay?"
Song Tan laughed: "Okay! That's great! Grandpa Li, I won't mention the money. When the time comes, I will give you fifty kilograms of rice!"
The old man doesn't eat much. Fifty pounds is enough for half a year.
Old man Li was extremely happy!
Nowadays, when young people come back, they always have money at their fingertips. It doesn’t mean that you can’t pay people for work, but helping neighbors sometimes seems very awkward.
It’s not that young people are unwilling to help the villagers more, but they don’t know how to do it.
This group of old people who are used to talking about village customs always feels uncomfortable.
It's still as good as Tantan.
Besides, I grew my own rice! How fragrant that is!
Calculate, he hasn’t had anything to eat in ten or twenty years...
I didn’t expect to be able to eat it again after I came.
The old cow also seemed to notice his joy, and also gave a long "moo". Old Man Li also patted its head: "Let's go home! There will be delicious food in a while!"
…
Song Tan is also thinking:
Purple milkvetch, green leaves and purple flowers, old cow...
What a beautiful material!
Song Tan has already thought about it, but now that there are more cows, it will look more lifelike.
As for whether I can bring the goods after it becomes popular - of course I can!
Why is she doing this if she can't bring the goods?
She can guarantee that after eating once, no one will be able to resist becoming a repeat customer.
I have been farming at Yinyuefeng in the back mountain for hundreds of years. I have learned how to eliminate insects and weeds to improve the taste!
I don’t believe there can be no market for vegetables grown in spiritual energy!
And many of the vegetables she plans to grow are storable, and black fungus and white fungus are suitable for online sales.
Nowadays, logistics has become so advanced that in most cities, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can get it delivered the next day, which is enough to meet the needs of online shopping.
Those that are not shelf-stable can be digested locally once they become famous.
She farmed, firstly to satisfy her appetite, and secondly to make money.
As for how much she can earn, as long as she can repay her capital, she has no requirements.
With this calculation in mind, there is still a lot to prepare for next.
In the past few days, she has to quickly prepare the shooting tools and pick up her editing skills. Whether she can be prosperous by then depends on this!
After thinking about it, Song Tan stood at the edge of the field, moving his fingers slightly, and quietly activating the strands of spiritual energy...
The white mist that is invisible to the naked eye slowly blends into the fields, and the green of the milkvetch seems to have reached a new level.
As the breeze blows, the hazy greenery becomes more intense at this moment.
The roots of milkvetch rapidly extract nutrients from the ground, and the pale yellow rhizobia attached to the roots feed back to the field.
This is the life of nature.
Going round and round, the rhythm is cyclical.
There are still today.
Hiring people to plow the fields is very expensive. Nowadays, rural areas are aging seriously. Tantan may find more people from the village to do many of the jobs that require machines.
Don’t do purely economic calculations, as you will definitely lose money. But there is harmony between people and between people and nature, and we will never lose money.
Of course, there are also old people who are unreasonable, and Tantan will definitely not suffer.
Also, it’s time to eat wild vegetables after waking up from the stings... What do you like to eat?
