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

Chapter 61 Passionflower

Shen's courtyard.

Seeing Shen Qiuqiu carrying back so many passionflowers, Grandma Shen was stunned.

"Oh, this fruit is not too sour, and it can't be eaten as a meal. What do you do after picking so many, you don't feel tired and panic."

The fruit of passion fruit is more popular among young people; the elderly generally don't like to eat it, and a little sour taste makes them feel sour.

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and poured the passion fruit in the basket into the bamboo sieve, revealing the chubby August melon underneath.

Grandma Shen laughed immediately, "It's August melon. I didn't expect there to be more these two days. I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I still think it tastes like this."

As he said that, he couldn't wait to pick up an August melon, peel off the peel, and took a bite of the flesh.

When Grandma Shen eats this, she likes to chew the seeds and eat them together. She thinks it tastes better this way.

Li Mao was still looking forward to grandma's pea shooter, but when she saw that the old man hadn't spit out the seeds for a long time, she realized that she ate the seeds together.

She asked Shen Qiuqiu in a daze, "Can seeds be eaten too?"

Shen Qiuqiu nodded, "Yes, chew it up and eat it, it will moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, and has a remarkable effect in treating constipation."

"Ah, this..." The expression on Li Mao's face became a little indescribable.

A bamboo sieve was full of passion fruit fruits, and Shen Qiuqiu picked out the big ones, good-looking ones, and high-ripe ones individually.

Make good seeds, and keep the crooked melons and cracked dates for yourself to eat.

While picking the fruit, she told her grandparents about her plan to grow passionflower.

Grandpa Shen didn't object, "Okay, if you think you can plant it, let's plant it. Grandpa supports you."

Grandma Shen was a little worried, "The passion fruit is all over the mountain, and will anyone pay for it?

Besides, there are only a few people in our family, so how can we come to so many places? "

There is no market for passionflower in the countryside, but it sells very well in the city. As long as the quality is good, it will not be sold.

As for the second question, Shen Qiuqiu also considered it.

"Our family really doesn't have enough labor force, and it's not good to bother Uncle Wei Dong all the time.

But this is not a big problem. When we are too busy, we will pay for a few helpers.

If you give 100 yuan a day, many people should be willing to do it. "

Most of the people in the village grow corn and sweet potatoes, and the busy farming season just happens to diverge from Shen Qiuqiu's side, so there is no need to worry about finding labor.

And you can also help a bunch of old people in the village by the way.

Young and middle-aged people like Wang Weidong and Zhou Dingwei can go to the county town to do part-time jobs to supplement their families during the slack season.

But those old people in their 60s and [-]s are old and illiterate. No one wants to go out to work, and they are often deceived.

They are just a little older, but they are as energetic as young people, and they have no problem working in the fields.

When the time comes to invite them to help, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

The granddaughter was so thoughtful, Grandma Shen didn't say anything more.

The important affairs of the family are left to the grandparents and grandchildren to decide.

Shen Qiuqiu put his arms around grandma's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Grandma, you like to eat August melons. Later, we will plant two in the yard."

Grandma Shen waved her hand and said no, "Why bother growing it? There are plenty on the mountain. If I want to eat it, I can go up the mountain to pick it."

Shen Jiashu interjected, "Grandma, if you want to eat, just tell me, and I'll go up the mountain to pick it for you."

In a word, Grandma Shen was coaxed into a smile.

……

After dinner, the whole family sat around in the yard and opened passionflower to get seeds.

It is very simple to take passionflower seeds. Open the fruit, take out the seeds inside, wash off the residue and dry it.

Everyone worked hard for more than half an hour, and took out a large basin full of passionflower seeds.

There was a strong fragrance in the whole small courtyard.

Li Mao pouted, "It smells so good, I'm hungry again after smelling it."

Grandma Shen thought she was really hungry, so she stood up quickly, "There is still leftovers, grandma will make you a bowl of fried rice with eggs."

Li Mao quickly grabbed her, "Grandma, I'm just joking. Look at my stomach, it's still bulging."

Shen Qiuqiu shook his head and laughed, and called Shen Jiashu to move the big basin under the faucet together, and began to clean the residue on the seeds.

Yang Yanhong brought her daughter to visit, and she smelled the strong fragrance of passionflower when she reached the gate.

She shouted loudly: "National flower, why is there such a strong smell of passionflower? What are you doing?"

After entering the gate, seeing the passionflower shells piled up as high as a hill in the yard, I was even more shocked from ear to ear.

"My darling, how many passionflowers are there?"

Shen Qiuqiu smiled, got up and went to the bamboo sieve to pick up two passionflowers, cut them in half and handed them to Yang Yanhong.

"Taste, childhood memories."

Song Na also thoughtfully went to the kitchen to get a small spoon and handed it to Yang Yanhong's daughter.

"Dig and eat with a spoon, don't choke."

The six-year-old girl raised her head and smiled sweetly, "Thank you sister."

Yang Yanhong smiled while eating: "Oh, I haven't eaten it for many years, and it still tastes the same.

The wild passion fruit on our mountain is more delicious than the sour passion fruit. "

Shen Qiuqiu corrected her, "Passion fruit and passion fruit are the same kind of fruit, but they are called differently in different places.

The one on our mountain is yellow-skinned, with a stronger sweetness; the common one on the market is purple-skinned, with less sweetness and strong sourness. "

Yang Yanhong nodded again and again, "Oh, so that's the case. Those of you who have been educated know a lot.

But why are you washing it?Save it for seeding? "

Shen Qiuqiu nodded, "Well, I plan to plant some next year."

Yang Yanhong was not surprised by this, after all, Shen Qiuqiu, a college student, was famous in the village for being able to make troubles.

Song Na and Yang Yanhong's eldest daughter squatted in the courtyard to tease Little Orange.

Yang Yanhong rolled up her sleeves and helped Shen Qiuqiu wash the passionflower seeds.

In the middle of washing, Gao Yang called and asked if he could buy free-range eggs and bacon.

Grandma Shen happened to be going to Wang Weidong's house next door.

Shen Qiuqiu wasn't sure if he could sell it, so he said he would call him back later.

After hanging up the phone, Li Mao, who was listening to the whole process, asked casually: "Aqiu, why don't you engage in breeding?

In fact, raising chickens is also a good way out. Eggs can be sold for money, and chickens can also be sold for money. "

Shen Qiuqiu shook his head, "Running a chicken farm is different from raising a few chickens at home; breeding is a technical job, and considering the threat of disease, the risk is quite high."

There is an old saying in the countryside: If you want livestock money, you need to sleep with the livestock.

This sentence is enough to explain the hardships and difficulties of the breeding industry.

Of course, the prospect of the rural farming industry is indeed very good.But Shen Qiuqiu didn't have so much energy to take care of it for the time being.

Just like Grandma Shen said, if you can eat too much, you can't chew it. If you can take care of one end, it's pretty good.

First use fruit planting to drive the economic development of the village, and after the formation of an ecological industrial chain, the aquaculture industry will naturally rise.
