Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 114 Praying for a Good Harvest

Everyone gathered together, and Gu Siwei held a potato seedling in his hand, standing on the edge of the ridge, bending over and posing for the seedling to be planted in the ground.

"are you done?"

Gu Siwei asked Liu Dezhu.

"It's still a little bit short, it's not yet noon," Liu Dezhu said.

Gu Siwei couldn't take it anymore, so he knelt on the ground on one knee, and then complained: "If you want me to say, don't do these things, let's save some time and cook a few more dishes, wouldn't it be nice to have a good meal? "

Today all the crops have been planted in the ground, of course not all the land has been planted, but it can be said that most of the land has been planted, and the rest of the land is not planted, waiting for the sweet potato seedlings to grow Time can also climb over.

As the land for the first time to open up wasteland, there is an old rule here in Shimo Village, that is, the last seedling must be planted when the sun is in the sky.

Gu Siwei didn't believe in this stuff, but Liu Fulin and the others believed that Gu Siwei didn't want to save everyone's face, so they started this ceremony.

It's noon now. In fact, the ground was already planted last night, and there was only one seedling left, waiting for Gu Siwei to plant it at noon today.

As a result, Gu Siwei started posing half an hour ago, but the sun has not yet reached noon.

"Okay, here we are, here we are!"

Tao Yisheng stretched out his head to take a look, and found that it was noon, so he yelled at Gu Siwei.

When Gu Siwei heard this, he immediately scraped away the soil on the ridge with his hands, put the seedlings in his hands in, and after putting them in, he said something specially.

"A good field, good soil and good people will bring good harvests every year. You can reap what you plant, and you can reap ten thousand seeds from one grain you plant."

Of course, this word was not made by Lao Gu, and Lao Gu couldn't make it out either. Liu Fulin asked Gu Siwei to recite it on purpose. Participate.

After reciting these few sentences, Gu Siwei quickly cultivated the soil to the roots of the seedlings, and clapped his hands when it was almost done.

Sicui is also busy. At this time, Sicui took a water ladle and poured a little water under the roots of the seedlings. In fact, it was just for show. Watering at this time is not suitable, and the sun is a bit strong. The official watering will be in the morning and evening. Anyone who has planted anything knows that there is no one who waters at noon, and the roots will not be scalded to death.

"Okay, it's over, it's over!"

Seeing Si Cui pouring two drops of water, Gu Siwei said loudly happily.

"It's over, it's over, let's hope for a good harvest today," Liu Fulin also said happily.

"Yes, good harvest!"

Everyone is looking at the fruits of their labor now, and they feel satisfied in their hearts, including Gu Siwei himself, who feels that looking at the fields now seems to be different from the previous feeling.

What kind of feeling is there, happiness?It's not like that, but it seems that there is some sense of satisfaction, and it's not all right. In short, it's that kind of indescribable feeling.

Gu Siwei never thought about being a real farmer, he just wanted to rely on the space to hang out, but after these days of busy work, he gradually changed his view. If it is said that these fields are still semi-forced So, Gu Siwei has already begun to plan in his mind about what to plant in these lands next year.

The reason is that Gu Siwei fell in love with this feeling.

Some people may find it strange that there are still people in this world who like to work so hard on the land.But this is the case for Gu Siwei, like a person who loves fitness very much, if he doesn't go to the gym and scream a few times a day, he feels that he has no passion that day.

"Eating right now!"

Gu Siwei waved his hand, and as the head of the family greeted the guests for dinner.

Everyone quickly gathered around the table, and the dishes had already been placed on the table. Today's dishes are not fancy, but the main thing is solid, the thickness of the palm-sized buckle meat is as thick as a penny, and it is full of Basins, one person can get at least two pieces.

In addition to braised meat, there is also mutton. The mutton that has been stewed slowly since this morning, now only needs to be torn lightly, and the meat will immediately fall off the bone.

The same is a full pot.

There are only two dishes, none of which are vegetarian, and the two big meat dishes don't even have a vegetarian side dish, so they just rush to get enough.

In addition, there are also drinks, men drink and women drink drinks. Drinks are not something farmers can worry about these days.

Now this drink is packed in a glass bottle. Gu Siwei tastes like orange soda, but it doesn't say orange soda on it, but 887 factory soda.

As far as this thing is not something that ordinary people can buy, Gu Siwei also borrowed from the old man Xu Congwen, and when he gave him pheasant or something two days ago, he brought two bottles back from his house.

Wine is so simple, as long as you have money and tickets, you can buy it. Gu Siwei now has food, food, clothes and clothes. It's a good thing, if Gu Siwei has a ticket in his pocket, then buy it.

So the wine on the table today is not the wine from the small winery in the county, but the serious Dachang wine, Yanghe Puqu.

If this thing is kept for decades, a bottle will be worth hundreds of dollars, but it is really cheap now, so Gu Siwei just took a box and threw it into the space to stand.

"You can sit as you please. I won't be particular about it today. There is only one agenda. Everyone eats and drinks well. Eat as much as you want, eat as much as you want!"

Waiting for everyone to sit down, Gu Siwei said a few words briefly, then motioned to open the wine and drinks, and everyone started to eat.

Everyone is not polite to Gu Siwei. After working for so many days, it is impossible to say that it is for this meal, but Gu Siwei, as the master, please, there is a hypocritical person helping everyone here, who is serious Just shake off your cheeks and eat.

The wine commander on the table today is Liu Dezhu. Although he can be regarded as a guest, he is the youngest guest, and with the relationship between Liu Fulin and Gu Siwei's family, it is impossible for Liu Fulin to let his grandson be on the table, and then ask Gu Siwei to pour wine for everyone Yes, there's something particular about it, if you're not in the right place, it's okay, and it depends on the host.

In short, the countryside pays special attention to this kind of relationship. Gu Siwei really wants to not abide by it, but in the eyes of others, it means that there are no rules. To talk about your own rules with the folks.

Dragging a large piece of meat and putting it in the empty bowl in front of him, Gu Siwei lowered his head and bit it down, the delicious gravy immediately filled his mouth and enriched his taste buds, making Gu Siwei let out a sound of satisfaction.

"Siwei's big meat is really good. In the future, don't invite others when things happen at home, just invite you." Zheng Youcai also dragged a piece of big meat at this moment, took a bite and praised Gu Siwei's craftsmanship.

Gu Siwei immediately waved his hands and said: "I really don't have this ability. It's okay to cook one or two dishes. At worst, I can make up a table, but you really think highly of me when you set up dozens of tables. ".

The big banquet in the village and cooking at home are completely two routines, not to mention cooking, think about dozens of tables, each table must have at least a dozen dishes, prepare in the morning, and then pour water on the table First, the guests can't let the chopsticks get cold. Gu Siwei really can't reach this level.

"How can someone who makes a flowing water mat have the ability to make braised meat so delicious, and it's still wild boar. If you don't taste it carefully, you won't have the smell of wild boar. Siwei, how did you get rid of the smell?"

Although Tao Yisheng used to be a Taoist priest, his clan couldn’t help eating meat and getting married. In the past, Lao Tao’s master was a legendary figure, so Lao Tao followed his master to live in rich families, and he had a good meal. There are so many things.

So as soon as the meat was in his mouth, Tao Yisheng ate it and found out where Guan Jian was.

Gu Siwei can't say that I keep these pigs in the space, maybe in a few years these pigs will directly grow into domestic pigs, so saying this can't kill Lao Tao?

So Gu Siwei said: "There is no trick, just remove the fishy three-piece set, add spices and soak it, after soaking for a long time, it can remove some of the smell, and be careful when cutting into pieces when cooking."

It’s as if you didn’t say it, it’s like when someone asks you how to get to the library, you say it’s next to the city hall, and then they ask how to get to the city hall, and you say it’s opposite the library, isn’t it a random talk!

"Hmm, um~!"

Fortunately, Tao Yisheng didn't have the time to delve into it. Now he is dealing with the meat in the bowl happily. It has been a long time since he has eaten meat so readily. I will also agree with you.

The meat was spun, the wine was drunk, and the atmosphere on the table could not have been more lively.

If it is not enthusiastic, it means that the wine is not drunk enough and the meat is not refreshing enough.

Today's meal was not as long as the last time Lao Gu stayed at Xu Congwen's house. After eating for less than an hour, everyone was full.

It's not because the food and drink are not good, but because the food is too hard-core. Even if Liu Fulin and others eat two big pieces of meat, how much space can be left to put another pound of mutton?
What grows in the stomach is the stomach, not the meat grinder.

So just after an hour, everyone generally patted their stomachs and exhaled happily, even the breath smelled of oil.

"This meal is equivalent to celebrating the new year!"

When Zheng Youcai heard Liu Dezhu's words, he couldn't help laughing and teasing his apprentice: "Then your family's life is good enough, you can eat meat like this during the Chinese New Year."

Liu Dezhu scratched his head and was a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to talk back to what the master said, so he had to laugh a few times, but his temper was rough, and he wouldn't care about embarrassment.

Zheng Youcai liked Liu Dezhu, and was willing to accept him as an apprentice, because Yigu Siwei gave him a lot, and secondly, Liu Dezhu was sincere.

Tao Yisheng patted his belly at this time: "Okay, I, an old man, will go home later."

"Let's go now?"

"What are you going to do here? The work is done and the meat is eaten. Go back early." After Tao Yisheng finished speaking, he said, "I'll have another meal when the harvest is over."

Gu Siwei laughed and said, "Welcome again."
