Chapter 230 230. Collective Complaints
At 12 o'clock at night, the people who went to collect cabbage in the fields finally came back with baskets full of them.
Song Tan lowered his head and took a look: these cabbages have thin roots, and the soil at the roots has obviously been washed gently. They are neatly tied with straw at the moment, not to mention how fresh and juicy they are.
“Mom, how much did you charge?”
Several large plastic baskets are full.
“We weighed over 1,000 kilograms in the field, and they were all weighed one kilogram high. Some weighed one kilogram or one tael, and some weighed less than one tael. Anyway, a thousand handfuls are convenient for counting.”
Ulan explained while wiping his hands.
"OK."
Song Tan put the big baskets on the large scale at home one by one, then raised his hand and put them on the pickup truck.
Now Ulan is used to her strong strength. Seeing her carrying baskets there, he told everyone to wash their hands and rest quickly, and prepare to eat.
Working in the fields at night is not tiring, but I’m not used to it yet.
The lamps in the courtyard were not very large and illuminated the entire courtyard dimly. On the other hand, the fire in front of the stove was so bright that the dumplings tumbling in the pot were all white and plump and cute. Everyone smelled the unique aroma of the dumplings and couldn't help but feel hungry now.
Those who are working are still thinking about:
“Ulan, I think your vegetable cultivation is really good. Where did you buy the vegetable seedlings? If you buy a lot next time, please give me a few.”
This is not a big deal, Wulan nodded directly: "Okay. My daughter said that after the cabbage is pulled out, peppers will be planted. Do you want pepper seedlings?"
“Is it as good as your cabbage?”
This baby cabbage is crispy and juicy, and everyone was greedy for it when they were in the field.
But Ulan really can't guarantee this: "Then you have to ask Tantan, my land is fertilized with very expensive fertilizers. I don't know what your own crops will look like."
As soon as he said this, the big guy who was about to move stopped.
They are all people who have been farming for decades. Whether the food is good or not depends on the variety, but it also has something to do with subsequent planting.
Looking at the common varieties in their fields, I guess the reason why they grow well is really because of the special fertilizers.
Ouch, the price of fertilizers and urea has been rising year after year. It's a pity that we don't farm anymore, otherwise the whole family will have to drink from the northwest at the end of the year!
Forget it.
The white and fat dumplings were floating up and down in the pot. Qiao Qiao used a slotted spoon to pick them up and put them into a bowl. Everyone dipped their tongues in vinegar and ate while sighing:
“Tantan, farming is not as comfortable as working in Ningcheng, right?”
Ah this.
Song Tan thought to himself: It’s actually quite comfortable.
But she also knew that she couldn't say that, so she smiled silently.
This smile seemed to bring passion to everyone, and the aunts in the village began to talk about it: "Well, it's so comfortable to go to work from 9 to 5, and go home to farm and enjoy the wind and sun..."
"That's right, I don't have much place to spend money at home. But I can't earn much from selling vegetables. Look at the cabbage from two acres of land. You have to transport it to Ningcheng in the middle of the night to sell it. It's hard for us farmers. …”
"Yes," Ulan agreed with a serious tone: "If the child hadn't insisted on tossing it, I wouldn't have dared to throw money into it. Now the capital for retirement has been put in."
As soon as she sold out miserably, everyone comforted her: "You can't say that. Nowadays, young people are bold and have many abilities. I see Douyin and other online sellers. If the sales are good, they can make it in a year." Make millions!"
"That's right, Wulan, don't worry too much. Didn't you say that the better things in your home are all ordered by a big boss who likes to eat green vegetables? Those who can keep their profits, and the rest are all pure profits, nor "Suffer a loss." Zhang Yanping's mouth twitched when he heard this. He was speechless and had to eat dumplings.
Jun Xin was a little unable to eat.
Because he has been here for so long, he has not provided even a small onion or garlic to his family, and he has completely forgotten about the farmhouse at home.
But the problem is that he can't bear to transport the cabbage, so it's not feasible to send it all the way!
How about buying a pound of tea and taking it home?
Every time you serve tea to your guests, adding one or two sticks to a pot of tea is also a way to improve your reputation, right?
As for honey...his farmhouse sells honey water to relieve hangovers. After all, the customers who drink it don't care about the price. The price is very expensive, 12 yuan a cup.
But the purchase price of Song Tan's honey is 1,000 yuan a bottle, which is not cost-effective.
He thought about it and sent a message to his mother in the middle of the night:
【Pakchoi is not resistant to transportation. Cucumbers will be on the market in May, and I will discuss cooperation then. 】
However, Xin’s mother had already inquired about it early, and now she asked:
【Chinese cabbage cannot withstand transportation. Bring back some chopped green onions. Let's make scallion rolls. 】
Xin Jun: He really knows how to think about it.
But these onions are only grown on a small amount of land. Where can I get any extra to feed my family? In the city, we have to send out another batch every three to five.
He told his mother about this situation, but Xin’s mother said in disgust: “This won’t work, and that won’t work, so what are you doing here? Eating free food?”
Xin Jun has not yet had a meal. He is seriously paid here, but he cannot say this, otherwise he will definitely be taken home to work as a waiter.
I could only hesitantly: "Mom, I think this family farm model is pretty good. I'll look into it. If it doesn't work out, let's build a farm vegetable base at home..."
There was muttering here, and the aunts who came to work at the other end each cooked two large bowls of dumplings, filling their bellies. Now they are going to the pot again to prepare some dumpling soup.
“Oh, didn’t you say you can’t walk on the road? Why are you still drinking soup!”
"I can't do it! Besides, the original soup is the original food. Drinking this dumpling soup will make digestion easier."
The seventh cousin quickly stopped him: "Don't drink the dumpling soup. I've made white fungus soup here, drink more!"
With a shake of the big spoon, the smooth white fungus, along with red dates, wolfberries and lotus seeds, were poured into everyone's bowls.
At this time, the aunts were really dumbfounded.
The sweet smell of tremella soup hit their faces, but they really endured it (*).
As for the hot, translucent and milky dumpling soup, the seventh cousin poured it into a large bucket nearby.
Wash the cabbage roots from before and mix them in. First, I poured a spoonful of it for the three grumbling puppies at home, and then I divided half a bucket of it for the caretakers at the home.
Let’s take the remaining half of the barrel…
Qiaoqiao was already familiar with adding wheat bran and rice bran to it.
In the middle of the night, if people have midnight snacks, let’s give the pigs a snack as well. The dumplings were so fragrant, I felt like I could hear the pigs braying in the back hill.
Coming, coming! besides!
I feel so sleepy. Is there any way to refresh myself immediately without affecting my sleep? Always wanted to find it.
Cold water and mint have no effect. I can drink tea and coffee until dawn.
