Nongmen splendid, the master craftsman is three and a half years old

Chapter 44
"It is said that it is especially suitable for children and the elderly. It is easy to digest. There are old and young in the family, and it is not expensive. It costs five baht. I heard that it can make a lot of vines. Why don't you buy some?" Buy it, just buy a little for yourself.

When Yu Youyu heard that the elderly and children were suitable, she was a little shaken and knew her daughter-in-law's temperament, "Then take a handful, you go and get it, hurry up, we will go home after we get it."

Yu Youyu looked at the direction of the sun. I'm afraid it's too late to go back, but the farmer's family is used to roughness, and it's the same when they go home to eat.

Manman saw a few people on the small road outside the courtyard, and quickly opened the courtyard door to greet them, "Mother, grandpa, you are back, have you eaten yet? Grandma and I have been waiting for you for a long time at noon, but you have not come back."

Looking at the pannier on his mother's back, he nimbly burrowed underneath and supported it with both hands, trying to reduce some weight.

"I gnawed on some pancakes, so I don't need to help them. My mother makes a bullock cart and there is nothing in the basket, so I'm not tired." Mrs. Li pulled Manman to her body and walked straight to the eaves.

He bent down and raised the basket to the veranda, dropped the rope, and shouted, "Mom, we're back."

"I heard it! Yu Niang, get some water and wash your hands with Lao Yu, and the meal will be ready in no time."

Seeing that it was almost the same, Mrs. Wang threw the firewood into the stove, and ran out curiously. Seeing that Yu Youyu's burden was full of mud, she was taken aback, "Is this the sweet potato? Why is there still mud?"

"Mom, you have to have mud to sow seeds. Look at my basket. It's such a big melon. Take a look at the yellow ones. This is a new thing!"

"Hey, your back basket is filled with this melon, what is this thing for?"

Mrs. Li said while holding a cloth towel and wiping his hands, "Eat, let's cook some for dinner today. This is called a pumpkin. I heard that it is hollow and has seeds in the middle. When the time comes, the seeds will be saved. I originally wanted to buy only the seeds, but When I saw some ripe melons, I just bought this one, it’s just a good time to taste it, it’s delicious, so I’ll plant it all during the Qingming Festival next year!”

Wang managed to get the melon out of the basket, "This thing doesn't look cheap, how much does it cost!"

Mrs. Li squatted down and patted the pumpkin, feeling a sense of accomplishment, "A piece of seeds is five baht, and this one is twenty baht. I think it's more cost-effective than just buying seeds."

"Twenty baht can buy more than a catty of pork. Young people are just spending money recklessly."

Yu Youyu wiped his hands, and sat directly in front of the table, "I bought everything, why are you talking so much, scoop out the rice quickly."

"Oh, I got it, the old lady just says a few more words and you will get annoyed, Yu Niang, go and have a rest, I'll scoop it up."

Manman squatted on the veranda, looked at the melon that was bigger than her body, and turned around, "Isn't Dafu delicious?"

"It has been verified that it is indeed more delicious than the whole grain porridge you eat, and it is especially friendly to the elderly and children." Flying to Man Man's shoulder, he touched his chin. "It's still sweet, and you will definitely like it."

Tomb-sweeping day.

Based on the method they heard when they first bought pumpkins, Wang and Li combined the folk prescription that Manman swears by.

I took out the pumpkin seeds collected last year and soaked them in warm water for half a day, and then placed them on a damp cotton cloth to keep them moist. Sure enough, within a few days, I saw melon sprouts breaking out of their shells.

Seeing that the pumpkins spread out on the bamboo plaque had already sprouted, Mrs. Wang picked them up and walked to the well-organized vegetable plot in the backyard, "Can Yuniang just dig a hole and bury it?"

Sitting on the porch, Mrs. Li was embroidering flowers, and looked up at Mrs. Wang who was planning to plant pumpkins, "Hey, that's right."

"Grandma, grandma, remember to throw two seeds in each pit, and remember to keep a distance of three feet apart. This pumpkin will grow in the future, and how many vines can grow?" Man Man was thinking about the pumpkin he ate last year. Mouthwatering, sweet and glutinous taste, really delicious.

What the food officials said was indeed true, all ages are suitable for sweet and soft glutinous rice. After eating it boiled or steamed, everyone in the Yu family fell in love with this food.

Later, after hearing Manman say that pancakes can be used to make steamed buns, and that they can be stored for a long time, they made up their minds to collect all the seeds, and plant as many as they can no matter how waterlogged they are.

"Crack, creak..."

The two people who were busy in embroidery and tool shed raised their heads and looked at Yu Youyu who was carrying a strange pot shape on his back.

"Grandpa, is this medicine pot easy to use?" Man Man asked happily as she watched Yu Youguang come back with the medicine pot on his back.

Yu Youyu looked at her granddaughter with a wrinkled smile, "It's so easy to use, Dashan and the others even asked me what it was, and I told them it was a medicine pot for spraying water and pesticides on fruit trees and crops. It’s strange to me, but they still don’t believe me when I say you made it.”

Yu Youyu got angry when she thought of this. Although her granddaughter is young, she is smart if she can't resist her.

"Hey, I didn't do anything, it's because Grandpa is amazing, shouldn't this year's peaches have worms?" Manman looked at the big peach tree beside her yard and was very worried.

Yu Youyu put down the medicine pot and wiped his hands, "It must be fine. Fortunately, I found out early. I stood on the ladder and sprayed the medicine from head to bottom. I must not miss my vine peaches."

"If you spray it every few days, the peach tree will be fine," Dafu gave Manman a definite answer.

Man Man felt relieved, the old peach tree at home was not only the main snack in the family, but also an important member of Lao Yu's family, "That would be great!"

I can finally go to Sister Jia's house to read with peace of mind. "

After ordering the seeds, Mrs. Wang came back and saw the medicine pot answering, "My granddaughter is smart because she is smart, but this smartness costs money." Thinking about the money spent, she felt distressed, but she still couldn't bear to say about her granddaughter.

Man Man shook her head triumphantly, "Hey, it didn't cost much money. I asked Sister Jia to help me make it, but it didn't cost my family's money."

Li sneered, "Thick-skinned, remember to tell me when you ring it, I will send the other medicine pot to Gaga."

Manman didn't care about her mother's laughing and scolding, she just nodded, "Yeah~" she continued to fiddle with the gears in her hands.

Every year, Yujia’s peaches are ripe and attract adults and children. The sweet and pink delicacy makes passers-by stop and look up.

"Manman, Manman! Give me two more peaches." Tieniu and a few boys from the village lay outside the yard, looking at the peaches on the tree and swallowing.

"No, the first one of you has been knocking secretly for a long time, don't think I don't know, look at this branch was broken by you, don't give it!"

"Haw."

"Hang Chi Hang Chi, um~"

what sound?Manman looked up at the source of the sound! "

"Alas!
"Oh, Manman, what is on your peaches stealing peaches!"

"It looks like a monkey! I've seen it in juggling in Fu County."

"Ah! Isn't the juggling one yellow? Why is this one white?"
