1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Hey, Tiezhu is back?"

Just after entering the greenhouse, Professor Xu, who was busy here, greeted him.

"Yeah, I just came back. Let's see what vegetables are edible in the greenhouse. I'll go back in time and let everyone taste them. Come to my house to eat in the evening. We have to have a good meal in the evening." Chen Tiezhu said.

"The vegetables in the greenhouse are growing well. The villagers will come to take a look when they have time. I guess that in winter, there will be a lot of greenhouses in your village." Professor Xu said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's good. Is the melon ripe?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"We have to wait for a while for the melon, another ten days or half a month. The melon is growing well. Other people came to visit our greenhouse yesterday." Professor Xu said.

"Dad, dad, what is this?"

At this time, Doudou shouted.

Chen Tiezhu turned his head and looked over. Doudou was squatting and studying strawberries.

"Doudou, this is a strawberry. It's not all red yet, but you can try it." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Yes, Doudou, try it."

The little guy nodded his head, happily plucked the strawberry, and happily took a big bite.

"What's wrong? Is it not delicious?"

Looking at the little guy's slightly frowned brows, Chen Tiezhu asked happily.

"It's okay, the red ones are delicious, and the white ones are not delicious." Doudou said.

"Hahahaha, then wait a few more days, and then you can eat strawberries happily." Chen Tiezhu was very happy.

"Next, pick beans, cucumbers, and peppers with dad, pick the long and fat ones, and we will stew beans with pork and make whole cakes tonight."

"Dad, you have to put more meat, it will be more delicious." Doudou said.

"It must be, I asked you to bring 20 kilograms of meat, it must be enough to eat." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

It seems that no matter how fresh the food is outside, this little guy is still a firm meat lover after returning home.

It should be said that the vegetables in the shed are really good. Chen Tiezhu didn't feel sorry at all.

Anyway, he is a rich man now, so it's no problem to buy ten times more pork.

"Professor Xu, when are you going back?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"I have to wait a little longer, you go first, I'll just ride my bike." Professor Xu said with a smile.

"Then finish work early today and have dinner together tonight." Chen Tiezhu greeted him and then walked out with the basket.

There is a saying that goes, a good cook can't cook without rice. Chen Tiezhu is really not worried now, and he can have a good meal tonight.

For beans, stew pork, make pancakes, and eat chili peppers, stir-fry shredded potatoes, and stir-fry dried tofu. Cucumbers are even simpler, and a dish of smashed cucumbers is a killer.

"Dad, there's corn. When can we boil it?"

Doudou asked as soon as he got on the car.

"We have to wait a few days for corn. Dad just took a look and the corncobs haven't grown yet." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Don't worry. Dad will come over every day in the future. As long as the corn is ready, Dad will boil it for you. There are also peanuts and edamame. Dad will boil them for you when the time comes."

"Yeah, boiled corn smells good." Doudou nodded happily.

Although he has been sitting in the car for a long time, Doudou is now fully recovered in the true sense. What he thinks in his mind is to eat.

When he returned home, the villagers were also shocked to see that Chen Tiezhu had picked so many vegetables.

"Tiezhu, this hasn't grown yet. It's quite expensive to sell it now." Hu Yadong said.

"Actually, this is enough." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"In the future, when we grow vegetables in greenhouses, we can't follow the standards at home and wait until the vegetables are almost old before picking them. Although that will increase the yield, the taste will be worse."

"If we want to sell them at a high price, we have to sell them when they taste the best. For example, after the cucumbers grow up, the cucumber seeds inside are not good to eat."

"So we have to change our ideas in this regard. If we want to sell things outside, we have to sell the best. People like it, even if the price is a little higher, it doesn't matter."

"My eldest daughter, let's start cooking. Help dad knead the dough later. It needs to be fermented for a while so that the steamed cakes are chewy."

"Okay."

Doudou responded happily.

Then the little guy frowned again, "Dad, we are gone, what should we do?"

"Hahaha, let's go to the elementary school to do some work. When the time comes, everyone will go there to eat." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Dad, what should we do tonight?Sleeping?" Doudou asked.

"Today, I will sleep at the elementary school. There are dormitories there. Don't worry, my daughter will have a good night's sleep." Chen Tiezhu coaxed.

"Yeah."

The little guy nodded happily.

"Tiezhu, Professor Xu told you, right? Looking at the vegetables in our greenhouse, everyone has very good ideas." He Jianguo said.

"That must be no problem. We can do whatever we want. Just like I said before, everyone can do whatever they want, but the premise is that they can do it. "

"Or if you are really confident at that time, you can also hire people to help with the work. But in that case, it is appropriate to do more, after all, this will increase a lot of costs. "

"Everyone doesn't have to worry, we can do whatever we see suitable. Although it is also hard work, it is the hard work of guarding the door. ”

“I’ll take Doudou to cook first. We should finish work early today. Stewed beans are best eaten while hot. I’ll leave first. "

After Chen Tiezhu finished speaking, he led Doudou out.

It's a good thing that everyone has confidence in growing greenhouse vegetables. But we can't rush into it just because it's a good thing. The mushroom house at home also needs to be taken care of, and people must be arranged when the time comes.

When they arrived at the elementary school, the father and daughter got busy. Although there are not many vegetables, there are many things to deal with.

Doudou's favorite thing is to knead the dough. She is so happy with the dough in her little hands.

As for picking beans, let Dad do it. It's annoying to pick them, just like picking leeks.

Looking at the little guy working happily, Chen Tiezhu was even happier.

Making money has really been ranked second by him. Living happily is the serious thing.

"Ding ding ding"

While they were busy, a horn sounded.

But it was a bit incredible. Gao Xiaoguang, Hu Ju, Jiang Chaoyang, and Li Yinglin, none of these four were missing.
