My village can't be like this

Chapter 174

At the beginning, Zhang An took them to transplant watermelon seedlings, and only one plant was planted at a long distance.

So everyone subconsciously felt that the speed of transplanting was so fast.

So when transplanting strawberries at this moment, I planted them for a long time, and found that there was not much land behind me.

Looking back, although it is not possible to stand still, compared with growing melon seedlings, it is much slower.

They thought it was because they were busy chatting about the housework, and the work at hand slowed down, and the land would not go away.

So I didn't say much later, and I was doing what I was doing seriously.

After all, the salary paid by Zhang An's family is relatively high, which is almost the same as that of working outside.

This is no better than working outside. You don’t need to spend money on food, drink and housing.

They usually tell others that they are very proud of such a good working salary.

If it's really because I've been chatting and chatting about homework, I can't do this job, and I'm wasting time.

They were all worried that when Zhang An's family looked for someone in the future, they would not look for them.

Seeing them like this, Zhang An reminded with a smile.

Let them not only focus on speed, but also pay attention to the quality of seedlings.

If the quality is not up to standard, it will be exhausting to replenish the seedlings by yourself later.

The spring fights for the sun, and the summer fights for the time. All things should be done sooner rather than later.

Not long ago, I was busy for several days before planting the watermelons and strawberries in the nest.

Zhang An continued to water for several days, and the planted seedlings had begun to take root and grow.

In the past two days, new buds have basically grown.

As soon as she was free, Wang Fang was in a hurry to plant vegetables in her two vegetable plots.

I'm afraid it's too late to plant, and when the vegetables in other's fields can be put into the pot, my own vegetables are still sprouts.

And after a while, the weather got better, and people from the village began to come over.

At that time, the demand for vegetables will be relatively large. If we don’t plant them quickly, there will be no vegetables to cook by then.

Last year, Wang Fang planted peppers the size of two cents at home, and last year's peppers produced more and bigger peppers.

Last year's chili production was really high, and Wang Fang originally thought that there would be more chili peppers to eat.

After making chopped peppers at home, there are still a lot of dried peppers left, and I may have to sell some on the street.

But Wang Fang did not expect that the chili noodles and oil chili made at home last year were loved by everyone.

The chili noodles made by Wang Fang are different. There are paste chili noodles and five-spice chili noodles pounded with five spices.

Anyway, there are four or five different kinds, with different spices added and different tastes.

Almost everyone who came to the door bought some to take home when they went back.

Most of them are locals from Guizhou Province, from small to large peppers.

Whether this chili is good or not, they will know as soon as they eat it.

So last year, Zhang An’s family’s chili peppers, except for the amount reserved for his own family.

The others were sold out before the end of the year, and finally had to buy peppers for the villagers to cook.

Wang Fang didn't expect that her family was originally engaged in farmhouse entertainment, no matter how bad it was, it could be regarded as a small restaurant.

But in the end, it turned out to be a fortune made by chili peppers.

So this year when Wang Fang ordered chili peppers, he ordered twice as much.

This year, I plan to plant all the peppers in the vegetable field behind the old house.

I don't know that people from outside like it, and many people in the village like Zhang An's spicy peppers.

This year just started, when ordering chili, many people from the village came to beg for chili seeds.

Fortunately, when I cut the peppers and pounded the pepper noodles at home last year, all the pepper seeds were left behind.

Otherwise, so many people come to ask for it, and there is really not much to give to others.

According to this speed, Zhang An felt that the peppers grown in the village in the future would basically be his own peppers.

After completing the work in the field, Zhang Jianguo started his old business again.

After breakfast every day, I drove the family's sheep and Dahei to the mountains to graze.

And he wasn't the only one, Huang Erye was also driving the family's cattle with him.

The two of them drove the animals up the mountain every day when they had nothing to do, they were extremely chic.

The old scalper of Huang Erye's family gave birth to another calf this year. Now they have three cows in their family, which can be considered a strong family.

Many people in the village laughed and said that Zhang Jianguo had lived the life of Mr. Huang ahead of time.

This is not a joke, but real envy.

Huang Erye's family is in the village, and with his old man's familiar skills in the mountains, he has always lived better than most other families.

Only when there is no pressure in life can I go to the mountains to graze cattle carefree.

People in the village who are as old as him don't want to be so leisurely.

How convenient and easy it is to herd cattle, but the crops in the field have to continue.

The vegetable field had just been planted, and Wang Fang didn't take much rest, when someone called her to go up the mountain to pick young ferns.

Only then did Zhang An remember that it was the season to eat bracken.

Every year in March, everyone takes advantage of the time when the spring rush has not yet come.

Busy going up the mountain to dig more spring bamboo shoots and bracken.

Zhang An originally wanted to go too, but Wang Fang asked him to watch at home, saving someone from visiting and no one at home.

Since Wang Fang finished harvesting the family's crops last year, she hasn't been out of the house and has been staying at home.

The villagers jokingly called her the proprietress at first, but they didn't expect everyone to call her that in the end.

Today, I finally got an acquaintance to call, so I naturally thought of going up the mountain to get some fresh air.

So after Wang Fang went out to the mountains with those ladies, Zhang An became a shopkeeper at home.

Only then did I realize that it was not easy to keep guard at home, and people would come over to buy something from time to time.

Some people come here to buy eggs. This is relatively easy, just give them the number according to the price.

But some people want native chickens and big geese, and they have to weigh them to calculate the price.

Anyway, Zhang An hadn't been idle much, and someone came over as soon as he sat down.

These things are usually done by Wang Fang, and Zhang An doesn't take much care of them.

After doing this today, I found that I am also very busy at home.

When it was almost lunch time, no one came to the door.

Only then did Zhang An have time to prepare for lunch, and his old mother was not at home today.

Therefore, Zhang An had to do such a major task as cooking.

"Zhang An, Zhang An, is anyone home?"

While cooking in the kitchen, Zhang An heard someone calling him outside.

"Hey, why are you here?"

The person calling Zhang An outside was none other than Ding Yi, and there was a woman with him.

"Why, no introduction?"

Zhang An looked at the person next to him who came with Ding Yi and said with a smile.

"Hey, my wife Li Li, come here with me this time."

Zhang An knew that Ding Yi was married, and he was among the group of people who came to Zhang An's house.

Only Chen Ze is still single and not yet married.

"Hi sister-in-law, I finally saw myself today."

Zhang An warmly greeted Li Li.

"I said, Lao Ding, you are the same person. You often come here by yourself, and you don't bring your sister-in-law."

"It's not his fault. I've been staying in the provincial capital, and I've wanted to come here with him for a long time, but I never had the chance."

Li Li's appearance is not particularly stunning, but it gives people a virtuous feeling.

Zhang An felt more comfortable talking to her.

"Are your uncles and aunts not at home?"

After entering the room, Zhang An's parents were not found, so Ding Yi asked curiously.

"They went up the mountain, and they may be back soon."

Zhang An took the two of them to the backyard to sit and talk together.

"By the way, if you want to eat today, just say so, but my mother is not here today, and I cook, so don't be disgusted."

"You can cook whatever you want. Anyway, everything in your house is delicious. Although your cooking skills are not as good as auntie's, but the cooking is better than ordinary people's."

Ding Yi is not polite to Zhang An, he now regards this place as his second home.

It's just that after saying this, Li Li took a few shots.

"You are a real person. You don't know if you are a guest. How can you talk so much when you are a guest at someone's house?"

After being said a few words by his own wife, Ding Yi smiled and said such a thing.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, we are familiar with each other, we are not outsiders, so don't be polite when you come here."

Zhang An usually couldn't tell when he saw Ding Yi, but today he looked like he was chained at home, so he couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, Zhang An, when cooking later, put less chili peppers. Your sister-in-law is not from our place, and she doesn't like spicy food very much."

"That's fine, I won't let it go, let's make a dip, if you want spicy food, you can dip it yourself."

When Zhang An was about to prepare the meal, Zhang Jianguo drove the flock home first, and Wang Fang came back later with a basket of tender ferns.

When they saw the car in the yard, they knew there was a visitor at home.

Seeing this, Ding got up, said hello to the two, and introduced his daughter-in-law.

After lunch, Wang Fang didn't ask Zhang An to clean up, but asked him to talk with Ding Yi.

"Why do you have time to come here today?"

This person seems to be quite busy since the opening of the supermarket, and he actually has time to go to the countryside today.

"Last time I heard that you didn't get any fish tanks for the big red carp. I just brought a few when the supermarket bought them. I'll send you one."

As soon as Ding opened the trunk, there was a large glass fish tank inside.

"It's actually not too busy now, and all the supermarket staff have been recruited, and this time Li Li came here to help look after the supermarket."

Zhang An was not polite to him, and lifted the large fish tank out of the car with one hand.

"Wow, Zhang An, are you so strong?"

Zhang An's move of carrying the fish tank with one hand shocked Li Li.

You must know that this fish tank is very large, and it is not light at all.

When he came here just now, Ding Yi called two people to carry it together before putting it in the car.

"This man is a freak. He stabbed a wild boar to death by himself before. How heavy is this fish tank?"

Ding Yi and the others had long been used to Zhang An's strange strength, and Li Li's eyes on Zhang An changed after hearing what Ding Yi said.

Zhang An has long been used to such strange gazes.

Now that he had a fish tank, Zhang An put in water to wash it, disinfected it, and then gave the red carp a new home.

"Has your fish not produced seeds yet?"

When I caught it last time, the belly of this fish was already quite big.

It's been almost half a month now, and it's still this big.

"I guess it's almost time, it's just two days before and after."

When Zhang An just changed the water, he carefully checked the water in the sand tank.

There is no roe in it, which means that the red carp has not started to produce roe.

Although the red carp was pregnant, Zhang An put a male fish inside to help hatch the roe.

It's just that Zhang An didn't know if any of the fish eggs produced could hatch red ones.

But it doesn't matter, Zhang An is just waiting to see if there are any red fish.

If there are, fish out the red fish and raise them. If they are all common carp, they will be released into the river at that time.

"What dish did Auntie choose?"

Ding Yi watched Wang Fang choose bracken in the yard, and went to the side to watch.

"This is called bracken. It's a kind of wild vegetable on the spring mountain. It's the one you just kept picking."

When Wang Fang came back, Zhang An brought out a handful of bracken and made a stir-fried bracken with bacon.

Ding Yi has been socializing with suppliers during this period of time, and usually eats a lot of big fish and meat.

When I encountered this fresh and tender wild bracken, I couldn't stop eating it.

"So that vegetable looks like this, is there a lot of bracken on this mountain?"

"It's everywhere, but you can only eat it during this time, and there will be less after Qingming."

These two days are the time when the wild ferns are sprouting new moss, as long as you want to pick them, you can pick them on the mountain.

"Zhang An, go and ask the people in your village to pick more, and I'll bring them to the supermarket to sell."

Originally, Zhang An thought that Ding Yi was planning to take some home to eat, but he didn't expect that he was going to sell it in the supermarket.

"No one buys this thing, it's everywhere, who wants to spend money."

Ding Yi smiled, "You don't understand now, although there are many in your mountains, there aren't any in the city."

"And I don't want to use it to make money. Last time, the mountain products I collected in your village were sold out within a few days after being placed in the store. I just thought that there was nothing to sell in the store. I planned to use this bracken to continue the flow of people. Otherwise, there will be no stock in the store, and the customers will be cut off."

It turned out that Ding Yi had this idea, "Don't shout, many of them picked it up in the morning, and it's quite fresh now, so you can take it back."

Afterwards, Wang Fang went to the village to inform a few times that the people who went to pick bracken with her in the morning all came to gather in Zhang An's yard with bracken on their backs.

These bracken are all picked for home use, so everyone picks the tender ones.

After discussing with Zhang An, Ding Yi decided to buy it from the villagers at the price of [-] cents a catty.

This price is not low, even Chinese cabbage can't be sold for so much money.

And this thing costs zero, if you go out in the morning with a basket on your back, when you come back at noon, there will be at least sixty to seventy catties in the basket.

Originally, they were collected back to make dried bracken at home, but Zhang An’s friend would spend money to buy it.

Upon hearing this, they didn't want to make dried bracken, they all planned to sell them all to Ding Yi.There are still so many on the mountain, and you can still pick them if you sell them.

After collecting these houses, it already weighs almost three hundred catties.

Ding Yi didn't plan to make a big publicity, so he took it back to test the water first.

Because this is a wild vegetable with moisture, it is easy to lose water and wilt, so it cannot be kept for too long.

If everyone picks them, they can get several thousand catties a day.

With such a large amount, the vegetable market may not be sold out.

After everyone got a dozen or 20 yuan, these ladies were very happy.

You can get so much money after going there all morning.

If it takes a whole day to pick, it will be much more profitable than a normal day's work.
