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

Chapter 65 The Rainy Afternoon

Shen Qiuqiu came back with a basket full of vegetables.

As the rain gradually subsided, she took out the vegetable basin and squatted under the eaves to wash the vegetables.

The vegetables grown in our own vegetable fields do not use pesticides or fertilizers, and there are no pesticide residues. They are easy to clean and safe to eat.

The only thing to be aware of is that there may be cabbage worms or other insects on the leaves.

However, Grandma Shen would wear presbyopic glasses and squat in the vegetable field to catch insects every now and then. There were not many insects on the vegetable leaves, and only one or two could be seen occasionally.

Li Mao came out of the main room and saw Shen Qiuqiu squatting under the eaves washing vegetables, so he wanted to go over to help.

When I got closer, I saw two small green worms wriggling on the vegetable leaves at her feet, and I was shocked.

"Oh my god, why are there insects? It scared me to death."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and said, "Natural and pollution-free green vegetables, of course bugs love to eat them too."

Li Mao rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, and gave up the idea of ​​helping wash the vegetables, but he still did not forget to tell him: "Then wash it well, if you eat bugs in a while, I will complain to you."

Grandma Shen just heard this, and she joked: "What's the matter, we couldn't eat meat at that time, and some people would catch grasshoppers and eat them. Put them in the fire for a while, and they taste delicious and crispy, old-fashioned. gone."

Li Mao expressed that he was frightened, and he stumbled and said, "Grandma, you mean this little green bug, it can also eat?"

Grandma Shen was about to speak, but Shen Qiuqiu replied with a smirk, "Why can't you eat it, no matter how small a bug is, it's still meat, and it's high in protein."

Resigned to his fate, Li Mao rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, "Let me wash it for you."

Wash it by yourself so that you can eat it with peace of mind, otherwise it will be a little scary.

Li Mao washed it very carefully, breaking off the cabbage leaf by leaf, and rinsed it under the faucet.

However, she didn't find a bug until she finished washing the basket of vegetables.

She turned her head and asked Shen Qiuqiu, "How about we wash it again?"

Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help laughing, "I just washed it once, this is the second time, you wash it so seriously, there must be no bugs, don't worry about eating."

Only then did Li Mao realize that she was teasing him just now, so he smiled and gave her a blank look, "Why are you so annoying."

Shen Qiuqiu asked Li Mao to take the washed vegetables to the kitchen, while she herself took the picked rotten leaves to the chicken coop in the backyard and threw them to the chickens.

Just in time to see a few eggs on the dry straw in the chicken coop, Shen Qiuqiu also picked them up by the way.

It was still warm in the hand, so it should have just been placed.

Shen Qiuqiu came back with the egg, and handed it to Grandma Shen like a treasure, "Grandma, look, the egg I picked up."

"Ah, there are so many." Grandma Shen took it with a smile, and put the eggs into the bamboo basket under the cabinet.

She often goes to the vegetable field to catch insects and feed the chickens. The old hen in the family lays eggs very frequently, basically laying eggs every day.

There are more than 40 eggs in the bamboo basket, all of which have been saved in the past few days. When Li Mao left, she just asked her to take it back.

At this moment, the cured pork ribs in the iron pot are almost stewed.

Grandma Shen lifted the lid of the pot, and the hot air came rushing in with the aroma.

The soup made from cured pork ribs is milky white, and the dried radish has absorbed the fat in the soup. The milky white soup base is clear and refreshing, without any greasy smell.

Li Mao sniffed hard, she was tired of saying the word "true fragrance".

Grandma Shen leaned on the door frame, stretched her neck and shouted to the main room, "It's time to eat."

Grandpa Shen in the main room responded loudly, "Hey, here we come."

After staying in Qinghe Village for a few days, Li Mao has become accustomed to this kind of contact method where all communication is by shouting, but every time he hears it, he still can't help laughing.

in the kitchen.

Everyone sat in a circle around the small stove, and Grandma Shen first served everyone a bowl of soup.

The stewed milky pork ribs soup smells tangy, and drinking a bowl will make people's heart, liver, spleen and lungs soothed.

The hot soup is swallowed from the mouth, all the way through the esophagus to the stomach, and the warm taste makes people feel comfortable all over.

Then eat a piece of cured pork ribs that was stewed so soft, the taste is so delicious, even Grandpa Shen couldn't help but get hooked.

After filling everyone's bowls with a few cured spareribs, Grandma Shen began to put vegetables into the pot.

Taro and potatoes are not easy to cook, so put them in first and cook for a while.

Put the pea tips and coriander in the pot and eat it after a while.

The emerald green pea tips are very fresh and sweet when boiled casually. They are everyone's favorite, and they are gone in the pot after a while.

Li Mao, who was a step behind, didn't get anything.

Grandma Shen laughed and blamed: "Look at what you look like, the guests didn't eat it, and you snatched it all up."

Li Mao smiled and said, "Grandma, it's okay. I was careless just now. If you put it a little longer, I will definitely grab it this time."

After finishing speaking, he raised his chopsticks and prepared to pick up food at any time.

Grandma Shen was amused by her and laughed, and grabbed another handful of pea tips and put them in the pot.

Li Mao raised her chopsticks and dropped the handful of pea tips by herself.

Shen Qiuqiu gave her a thumbs up, "It's really great."

Eating a big pot of stew is fun only when you are rushing to eat like this.

On a cold and rainy afternoon, the family gathers around the fire, eating a big pot of stew, gossiping about family affairs, lively and cozy.

After lunch, the rain also stopped.

The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the sun emerged from behind the thick clouds.

Grandpa Shen changed into the rain boots and couldn't wait to go into the field.

Shen Qiuqiu also changed into working clothes, and trotted out in grandma's rain boots.

Grandma Shen shook her head as she watched in the yard, and sighed to Shen Jiashu beside her: "In the past, your grandpa didn't like to stay at home, and spent all day in those few acres of land; Take root.

It's not good for a delicate girl's family to be a farmer, but she has the same temper as your grandfather, and she refuses to listen to persuasion. "

Shen Jiashu didn't know what to say, so he had to help his grandma back to the main room, and began to change the subject.

"Grandma, you watched the TV series in the morning. You started cooking halfway through watching it. I'll play it for you later. Where did you see it?"

Grandma Shen thought about it carefully, and said with some uncertainty: "It seems that I saw the second aunt slapped the third aunt, and the third aunt pulled off a lock of second aunt's hair."

Shen Jiashu, "..."

How to find this?
In the strawberry field.

Grandpa Shen took Shen Qiuqiu to check the situation of the strawberry seedlings row by row.

There is no case of strawberry seedlings being washed up by the whole plant, but there are still many seedlings whose roots are exposed by the rain, and the roots must be buried with soil in time.

After the grandfather and grandson worked in the field for a while, Shen Xiu brought Song Na and Shen Jiashu to the field to help.

Li Mao stayed at home with Grandma Shen to catch up with the drama, and continued to weave the bamboo baskets that had not been weaved in the morning.
