Chapter 119 Mulching
As soon as it was dawn, people came to Shen's house one after another.
As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled a strong smell of bacon.
The kitchen was dimly lit, and the bacon porridge in the cauldron was gurgling, filling the room with white air.
Seeing someone coming, Grandma Shen hurriedly said: "Go and sit in the main room for a while, breakfast will be ready soon."
The man was a little embarrassed, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to stay in the kitchen to help, "Ma'am, what else can I do?"
Grandma Shen smiled and pushed him away, "No need, everything is almost ready, you go to the main room to watch TV, and it will be fine in a while."
Several people were already sitting in the main room, eating melon seeds and chatting around the brazier.
After a while, Shen Xiu brought in a large bowl of bacon porridge, and Li Cunju followed behind holding the bowl and chopsticks.
Then, Grandma Shen and Shen Qiuqiu brought a pot of fried poached eggs, some dishes of fermented bean curd and pickles.
Everyone came hungry, but now that they smelled the aroma, they were all so hungry that their stomachs growled in disbelief.
Grandma Shen greeted them with a smile and said: "Eat more, if there is not enough, there will be more in the pot, just be full."
Wang Weidong couldn't wait to serve himself a large bowl, and now he has eaten it with a snort, and he couldn't help but enjoy it.
"Auntie, your craftsmanship is really nothing to say."
Zhou Dingwei also echoed: "It's more fragrant than our family's boiled, Grandma Shen, let my Tian Tian come to learn from you someday."
One sentence per person made Grandma Shen smile.
The old lady responded straightforwardly: "Okay, you let her come, and she will be taught."
After breakfast, a group of twenty or so people went to the strawberry field talking and laughing.
Shen Qiuqiu walked slowly in front of them on a three-wheeled motorcycle, and the carriage was full of black film.
On the way, many people asked Grandpa Shen whether it was good to grow strawberries and whether they could make money.
Grandpa Shen thought for a while before answering: "I don't know if it's good or not, but it's not easy to take care of; it's definitely more work than growing corn and potatoes.
However, we are peasants who plan food in the fields, as long as we are willing to work hard, there is no bad land to plant.
My little flower said that if the strawberries grow well this year, it will be as good as I have been growing corn for several years. "
The villagers were a little moved when they heard this. They came to work today, earning money is secondary, and they mainly want to inquire about growing strawberries.
Someone asked: "This thing can't be kept, and we don't have anyone to grow it here. What if we grow it and can't sell it?"
Grandpa Shen didn't know much about sales, and he didn't worry about it.
The old man pointed to Shen Qiuqiu who was riding a three-wheeled motorcycle in front of him, and said with a smile: "My little flower is worrying about this, and I don't understand."
Out of self-confidence in his granddaughter's fascination, the old man was not worried at all that the strawberries would not be sold.
The villagers are worried about the market and dare not follow suit rashly.
Looking at Shen Qiuqiu's back, everyone not only sighed: "It's still a college student who has the ability."
The old Liu, who was as old as Grandpa Shen, patted him on the shoulder, "You are lucky, your grandchildren will be promising, and you will have something to rely on when you grow old."
The strawberry field is not far away, and the time to talk is here.
Today, the Agricultural Science Station couldn't spare any manpower to give guidance, but Gao Yang sent a teaching video to Shen Qiuqiu, and it seemed that it was not difficult.
When they got to the field, everyone worked together to remove the black film from the car.
Shen Qiuqiu found a row of strawberries and showed them the instructional video.
Wang Weidong, who stood at the front, couldn't help laughing, "Hey, we all know this. A few years ago, people from the Agricultural Science Station came to teach, saying that covering mulch can increase production.
In the past two years, we planted potatoes with mulch, but the big guy thought it was too much trouble, so he didn't do it. "
As he said that, Wang Weidong stepped forward to operate it again, and he did it quickly and well.
It's just that during the process, an inflorescence was accidentally broken.
Shen Qiuqiu quickly reminded: "Uncle Wang, it doesn't matter if you slow down, you must protect the inflorescences, if the inflorescences are broken, the strawberries will not be able to bear fruit."
Wang Weidong scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention later."
After that, everyone divided into groups of two and started working.
Shen Qiuqiu was naturally in the same group as Grandpa Shen.
The grandparent and grandson cooperated tacitly, and the progress was not slower than others.
Grandpa Shen couldn't help looking sideways, and advised her: "Xiao Hua, take a rest if you can't do it anymore, don't force it."
Shen Qiuqiu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, it's okay, I'm not tired."
After several months of exercise, she has gradually adapted to working in the field, and it is not so strenuous to work.
Looking at his granddaughter's flushed face, Grandpa Shen was both happy and worried.
The joy is that the granddaughter does not forget her roots and can endure hardships; the worry is that she will really take root in the countryside and live such a hard life for the rest of her life, suffering and suffering.
During the breaks at work, the dedicated Shen Xiu did not forget to shoot short videos with her mobile phone, mainly for Grandpa Shen and Shen Qiuqiu, which was also the task Shen Qiuqiu arranged for her.
Shen Qiuqiu will update the growth progress of the strawberry seedlings on the wheat field video every once in a while.
It is very meaningful for netizens to witness the growth of strawberry seedlings together, and it is also a warm-up for the subsequent strawberry sales.
Li Cunju, who was in the same group as Shen Xiu, came over to take a look, and asked curiously, "Axiu, what are you doing?"
The two are about the same age, and they were sisters who had a good relationship before they got married, and they can still chat now.
Shen Xiu smiled, "It's nothing, just take a few photos for Xiaohua and the others."
Li Cunju couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "What's so good about this, it's disheveled and ugly."
Shen Xiu couldn't help but turn on the beauty camera, Kaka took two photos of her, and then put the phone screen in front of her, "It looks good."
Li Cunju's eyes were straightened, "God, why did you take such a good picture, this is me?"
With a smile on her face, Shen Xiu put the phone back into her pocket, ready to continue working.
Li Cunju was still thinking about the photo just now, and his heart was itching.
"Axiu, is your mobile phone expensive?"
Now every household in rural areas has a mobile phone, but most of them are used by the men in the family. Not many women have mobile phones, let alone smart phones.
Shen Xiu nodded proudly, "Xiaohua bought it for me. It's very expensive, more than 2000 yuan. Not only can you take pictures, but you can also watch TV and videos. It's always interesting."
Li Cunju was sour, "Xiaohua really has nothing to say to you. If I have such a filial niece, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams."
Shen Xiu looked at Shen Qiuqiu who was buried in her work not far away, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You don't know, I woke up laughing several times from my dreams."
With a lot of people and a lot of power, it took less than a day for more than ten acres of land to be covered with plastic film.
After dinner, Grandpa Shen took out the cash he had prepared in advance to distribute wages to everyone.
At first, everyone refused to accept it, but after a few times of refusal, they accepted it half-heartedly.
