Chapter 545 545. Do you want to save seeds?
The whole room of people devoured the watermelon in the basin quickly, and then they had time to extend their claws to the watermelon on the side.
Fortunately, this thing has a shell, and there are always two more steps to eat, so that everyone will not fill their stomachs too full at once.
Even so, when the seventh cousin was cooking, he came to the living room to collect his most convenient large basin, and saw that the trash can was almost filled with water chestnut shells and watermelon rinds.
He couldn't help but be stunned: "You are eating so much now, do I have to cook less for lunch later?"
When it comes to lunch, everyone gets energetic again.
But the spirit is the spirit, but the stomach doesn’t recognize it!
At this moment, I look at the water chestnut in my hand. I want to eat it but I also blame it for taking up my stomach. It’s really a dilemma!
However, the seventh cousin has always been in charge of the kitchen affairs, so he doesn’t need to listen to any opinions at all. At this moment, he made his own arrangements:
“I haven’t cooked yet. How about eating cold noodles for lunch?”
He thought about it: "I still have a pot of bean sprouts from yesterday. Later I will go to the vegetable garden to pick a few cucumbers and grate them, add some green pepper beef sauce, and fry some eggs... Let's use white fungus soup for soup. ,well!"
He looked reluctant: "...Let's just eat it."
Professor Song and others:…
If this kind of life is called make do, then they can make do for the rest of their lives!
However, in the eyes of the seventh cousin, this kind of thing that requires no technology at all is indeed just makeshift. As for tomorrow's meal, he has a new idea -
"Tantan, if nothing goes wrong tonight, let's grind some tofu. We'll make a ground cage tonight. Tomorrow, crucian carp will be stewed with tofu and Mapo tofu. I'll mix some fermented bean curd - duck egg yolk pressed with garlic. Are you used to it? ? If you’re used to it, I’ll put some pressure on it.”
Oh my God! !
What kind of magical day is this? The master and apprentice were already so happy that they were speechless.
Until Ulan called Song Tan:
“Tantan, go to the canteen. I told you before that I can help you get five thousand yuan back.”
Song Tan was stunned: "What do you want this money for?"
Wulan was taking back the hardened sheets: "You asked Mrs. Li and the others to deal with the Golden Yingzi before, but they haven't even given me the money... It also made me forget that they are old and can't use mobile phones well. Cash... I only have 300 yuan left at home, and I’m thinking about preparing more.”
Actually, I had some at home in the past, and it was useful to play small cards and give gifts occasionally, but I spent all the money on hiring someone to pick peaches a while ago, and I didn’t go to town because of the hot weather, so I was delayed for a while.
No, I heard that someone was going to the bank early in the morning, so I specifically asked him to do this.
Song Tan responded: "Then I will transfer money to others later?"
"OK!"
It’s only five thousand yuan. Ulan, whose situation has changed, doesn’t take it seriously now. After thinking for a while, he stopped her and said, "Wait a moment... you ask your dad to pack a pot of water chestnuts and bring it over."
There are not too many water chestnuts in the pond, but not too much. Anyway, I have no intention of selling them, so I just eat them as snacks. Song Tan was not stingy to this extent. He responded quickly and walked to the canteen with the basin in hand.
The canteen is actually quite far away from home, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk. However, Ulan now realizes that her children are not very afraid of the sun, so they can do things more efficiently.
Song Sancheng, on the other hand, was already impatient in picking water chestnuts. At this moment, he stood up particularly actively: "I'll go riding a motorcycle! It's so sunny."
“Pick your water chestnuts, who is like you, stupid and stupid, doing so much at once.”
Song Sancheng:…
…
Here, Song Tan came to the canteen. It is said to be a canteen, but it is actually completely different from the canteens found everywhere in the city. This place is small and pitiful, and the variety of things is pitiful, but you can find a lot of childhood memories.
It’s a pity that many of the snacks that are rare in urban areas are not liked by the family now.
“Aunt Wang, my mother asked me to exchange five thousand yuan.”
Song Tan pushed open the glass door, and the woman who was watching TV in the room immediately stood up:
“Ah! Tantan? What a rare visitor... It’s been a while since you’ve been back, right? I haven’t seen you walking around in the village... Look at your skin, how fair it is at home!”
Song Tan thought to himself: I don’t walk around the village very much, because when I go out I always drive or go to the mountains.
But at this time she just smiled: "My mother has good genetics."
Aunt Wang nodded seriously: "Your mother is enjoying the blessing now. All the girls here are by her side. You have also made a name for yourself in farming... Look at her, she is not stressed now, her skin is white and rosy, she is so energetic. !”
“Your dad is the same. He looks several years younger when he goes out.”
Song Tan laughed and laughed: "Yeah, I must have been in other places before, and they were worried about me! Come, Aunt Wang, I will bring you a pot of water chestnuts that my dad just caught this morning."
“Ah yo!”
Aunt Wang opened the drawer, counted the cash in her hand, and said in surprise: "It's amazing! It's been half a year since you've been home, right? This is the first time I eat your food."
At first, when they hired villagers to work, they included meals. Later, as Song Tan and his family grew more and more, they directly raised the price without including meals.
At most, everyone knew what was grown in the fields when they were chatting, but they didn’t know whether it was because the old Song family was lonely or because the young people were incompetent. Half a year had passed and no one had tasted a single bean.
It’s also strange!
As for the people in the village, for example, if they grow watermelons in their fields, they will definitely give one or two to their relatives and friends to try. If that doesn't work, I can just say a polite word and ask you to pick it directly from the fields.
Even if you don’t give them away, you still need to ask someone to do some work. It is also appropriate to bring a peaches or two watermelons back before leaving.
When living in a village, people don’t talk about economic value, they talk about human relationships and rural character.
It's not that Song Tan doesn't know that he should do this, but the question is, if the smell of his food is released early in the morning, and the villagers come back to replace the vegetable seedlings, do you agree or disagree?
After the change, the appearance of the house is still far inferior, so what should I say?
What’s more, are there those who are greedy and destroy things?
If nothing else, it’s definitely not that easy to make their own buns, or the price will definitely have to go up.
But now...
“Aunt Wang, it’s my fault too.”
"My mother said at first that she wanted to give it to everyone to try. But as you know, our family spent all their money in order to cultivate this small amount of land. The peach and watermelon were bought by others again, and the watermelon truck is now returned every day. Even if we come here at a designated location, we think the production is not enough, and we are really embarrassed to send it out any more..."
She complained to herself, half-heartedly, turned around, took the five thousand yuan and asked again:
“Oh, by the way, Aunt Wang, my mother asked me to ask, our vegetables are growing very well this year. Do you want to save some for the time? If so, she will save more.”
Good night.
This plot was set up early on, and I finally wrote it. Living in the village, if your family grows something that others don’t have, even if you are polite, you have to ask if you want to taste it... Relatives and friends always have to give some as gifts. This is a unique exchange of favors in the village.
Those who are used to living in the city may not be able to adapt to it, but that is true.
Tantan has been back for half a year. After the New Year, the whole village will slowly start to change.
