After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 55 A Busy Day

According to what Gao Yang said, first check the seedlings together, and trim off the withered leaves and rotten and withered roots.

The quality of this batch of strawberry seedlings is very good. Most of them can be planted directly, and only a small part needs to be pruned.

At 12:30, when Grandma Shen and Li Mao came to deliver their lunch with a cart, more than [-] strawberry seedlings had basically been inspected.

Generally, during busy farming seasons, in order to save time, lunch is eaten directly in the field.

Grandma Shen spread two clean woven bags on the ground, and brought out the meals.

The dishes are all served in small stainless steel pots, including twice-cooked pork, fried minced pork with sauerkraut, cold lotus root slices, vegetarian stir-fried cabbage, and radish rib soup.

Simple four dishes and one soup, but the portion is very large, each dish is full of a pot.

Farm work is the most energy-intensive, and it is easy to get hungry. You must be full, and you must have oil and water, otherwise you will not have the strength to work.

Therefore, the rice bowls brought by Grandma Shen are also large enamel bowls.

While opening the steamer to serve the rice, she called everyone to come and eat.

As the host, Grandpa Shen took the lead to stop what he was doing, and got up to greet everyone, "Let's go, let's eat first, the food will not taste good when it gets cold."

Only then did Wang Weidong and the others stop, and went to have dinner with Grandpa Shen.

A well was dug in the ground, and Shen Qiuqiu fetched a bucket of water to wash everyone's hands.

After washing off the mud on their hands, everyone picked up their bowls and sat on the ridge to eat.

After serving the rice, Grandma Shen enthusiastically scooped up a large spoonful of sauerkraut and fried minced meat for each of them.

I use homemade pickled sauerkraut, which is very fragrant when used to stir-fry the meat. The sour aroma is slightly spicy, and it goes well with rice.

"Let's have a simple lunch. I'll go back and kill a chicken. Xiaohua also bought braised pork head and roast duck. Let the old man accompany you to have a good drink in the evening."

Wang Weidong smiled and said: "Auntie, the food in your family is good enough. We all live in the same village, and there are no outsiders, so don't be polite to us. You can drink wine, but you don't have to kill the chickens."

Wang Weidong's daughter-in-law raised her foot and kicked him, staring at her man, but she was speaking to Grandma Shen.

"Auntie, you don't have to spoil him, this man is just a wine basket, as long as he has a drink, he can eat peanuts that taste like meat.

It would be a waste to kill a chicken for him to eat, so you just fry a bowl of peanuts for them. "

His words caused everyone to burst into laughter.

After laughing, Zhou Dingwei and others also echoed: "Yes, yes, no need to kill chickens, no need to be polite to us."

Grandma Shen served them dishes with a smile and did not refute.

Whether the chicken is killed or not is up to you to decide, and what they say doesn't matter.

Shen Qiuqiu was the last one to eat, and she was a little worried holding the enamel bowl as big as her own face.

This appetite is more than three times her usual amount.

"Grandma, I can't eat so much."

Grandma Shen smiled and shot her a look, "Where is there too much? Not much at all, eat quickly, if there is not enough, there is still in the steamer.

Look at your slender arms and legs, how do you look like a farmer. "

Shen Qiuqiu looked down at his arms. Could it be that if his arms were thinner, he would not be qualified to be a farmer?

Li Mao next to him burst out laughing, Shen Qiuqiu glared at her, and she laughed even more happily.

In the end, under grandma's disapproving gaze, Shen Qiuqiu gave half of the rice in the bowl to Grandpa Shen and Shen Jiashu.

Besides Shen Qiuqiu, technician Gao Yang also received special care from Grandma Shen.

He scooped up two tablespoons of the fried twice-cooked pork.

"Xiao Gao, are you used to our country food?"

Gao Yang swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied with a smile: "I'm used to it, grandma, your fried dishes are very delicious, especially this twice-cooked pork, which is more delicious than my mother's."

Grandma Shen was very happy to hear that, and asked again: "Grandma will cook fish for you at night. Do you like braised or spicy ones? Grandma can also cook fish with pickled vegetables."

Gao Yang wasn't very picky about food, so he replied casually, "Anything is fine, I like to eat everything."

After lunch, everyone sat and rested for about ten minutes before continuing to work.

In a group of two, one puts the seedlings and the other buries the soil, so the planting is very fast.

Grandma Shen and Li Mao followed suit for a while, and at around four o'clock, they pushed the cart home to make dinner.

More than [-] strawberry seedlings were planted until after [-] o'clock in the evening.

Shen Qiuqiu had hired someone to lay the drip irrigation tape before. Although it cost a lot of money, it was very convenient to use.

When the switch is turned on, water can be drawn from the well to water the strawberry seedlings automatically.

The newly planted strawberry seedlings must be watered thoroughly to ensure the survival rate.

Gao Yang made a rough estimate and asked Shen Qiuqiu to set the time for drip irrigation to one hour and three ten minutes.

This will almost saturate the ground.

The last step of watering is also very important.

Grandpa Shen was a little worried, "Can this thing work? How about I stay and watch, and you go back to eat first."

Shen Qiuqiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've checked. This manufacturer has a good reputation, and the drip irrigation tapes produced are all qualified products of high quality, so there will be no problems."

Gao Yang also persuaded: "Grandpa, this is an automated operation, and it's useless for people to watch.

If you are worried, when the time is up, I will come back and have a look. "

From Grandpa Shen's point of view, Gao Yang is a professional. He said so, so there shouldn't be a big problem.

It was almost eight o'clock when a group of people returned to Shen's house.

As soon as he reached the gate of the small courtyard, he smelled a strong smell of food.

Wang Weidong sniffed it vigorously, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, my aunt still killed the chicken."

The smell of chicken soup wafted all over the courtyard, and everyone who had been busy all day couldn't help swallowing their saliva silently.

Chicken soup was stewing on the stove in the kitchen. Under the warm light, the milky white chicken soup was gurgling and steaming.

There was also a large pot of hot water burning in the cauldron.

Hearing the noise from the door, Grandma Shen hurriedly filled the washbasin with hot water and came out.

"Finally back, I'm exhausted, wash your face with hot water to relieve fatigue.

I can eat the chicken soup by serving it out. "

The kitchen was too crowded to sit down, so Grandma Shen set up a big round table in the main room.

The meals are already on the table, and they are kept warm with plates.

Pork belly made a plate of garlic white meat, and a bowl of braised pork.

Grass carp is cut into sections and made into spicy spicy fish with a full pot of chili and peppercorns. It is bright red and oily, spicy and delicious, and it tastes delicious just by looking at it.

The roast duck was not tasty after it was cooled, so Grandma Shen simply sliced ​​the duck meat and fried it together with green peppers; the duck rack was deep-fried in fragrant oil until crispy, and then sprinkled with salt and pepper, it was crispy, delicious and very delicious.

Vegetarian dishes include shredded kelp in cold salad, pickled radish slices, stir-fried spinach, stir-fried bean sprouts, and fried peanuts.

More than a dozen dishes filled the table.

With Wang Weidong around, wine is naturally indispensable.

Fearing that the homemade wine would not taste good enough, Grandma Shen went to Yang Yanhong's canteen to buy two bottles of Erguotou.
