Chapter 547 Inadvertently planting willows and willows

After the meat dishes are done, the vegetables will be convenient. You can eat whatever you have in the field. The most indispensable thing in this season is all kinds of melons and beans.

Cucumbers are mashed with garlic, patted cucumbers, tomatoes mixed with sugar, then stir-fried bitter gourd with eggs, gourd with shrimp skin, cowpeas with chili, eggplant with minced meat, boiled edamame with salt water... Finally, there is a bacon and winter melon soup, ten There are dozens or twenty dishes.

Each dish is served in double servings, which is enough for many people.

I heard that there are a group of ten-year-old children among the guests who came here today. In addition to cooking fresh tender corn and roasting a basket of small salt and pepper potatoes, Aunt Yang specially dug out last year's quick-frozen sweet corn kernels from the bottom of the freezer. After frying the corn kernels, add eggs, starch, sugar, and white sesame seeds, and bake a few pieces of golden corn.

What else can be brought out to entertain?

Aunt Yang was calculating, cutting, chopping, chopping, chopping, chopping, chopping, and hearing a burst of lively voices outside, she guessed that the guests had come, and hurriedly put the white chicken on the chopping board on a plate, washed her hands, put A basket of grapes washed and dried, a large plate of cherry tomatoes, and a large [-]-pound watermelon soaked in well water were taken out for everyone to eat, and the table began to be served here.

In fact, since June, the He family has been eating vegetables, fruits, fish, shrimp, eggs and poultry from the farm.

Lao Feng changed from worrying about what ingredients to buy when he opened his eyes every morning to sitting and waiting for the farm to deliver the food to his door without worrying about everything.

Neighbors and a few old friends who have a good relationship with Mr. He don't think it's strange to see it once, but they wonder why the He family is so lazy that they don't even want to go to the vegetable market, so they just send them The goods arrived?
I learned that the farm under the name of the young master of the He family sent the vegetables and vegetables that do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and even if they are fermented and retting with pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and wild animals that run in the mountains and swim in the ponds. Raising chickens, ducks and wild fish and shrimps, I can't help but feel excited.

The farm is so big, it is absolutely impossible to produce only enough food for the He family, right?Giving away one is giving away, giving away two or three is also giving away, and you are not allowed to give it away for free. We pay for it, but it is just for freshness and peace of mind.

As a result, Young Master He did not do any publicity at all, and the number of family households who took the initiative to join the micro-farm food delivery service by joining the membership grew to twenty or thirty at a rapid rate.

At the beginning, some families looked at Mr. He’s face and wanted to help out. It’s 3 yuan a year. It may not be enough to buy and eat at the vegetable market. Not only vegetables and fruits, but also chickens and ducks from time to time, Eggs, fish and shrimp are supplied; during Chinese New Year, there is also mutton for the New Year of the Pig, as well as rapeseed and olive oil squeezed by the farm itself;A family of three or five people basically does not need to buy vegetables.

The key is that as soon as he eats this dish, an authentic ecological product, he immediately feels that he is taking advantage of others, and tries every means to send this or that to the He family.Of course, they are all gifts that are not available in the picky farm, such as the concubine in the south laughing at lychee, the king of fruit durian and so on.

He Qingdong really didn't expect to develop such a huge customer base by sending a dish home. It can be said to be "unintentional".

Originally, the poultry meat on the farm was consumed by the Delicacy Hall, and the surplus output of the farm and fruit forest was sold to door-to-door traffickers except for internal consumption. He felt that if these incomes could be equal to workers' wages and other expenses, he would be satisfied. Yeah, I didn't even think about how much money I made.Now this is simply an unexpected harvest.

Therefore, the dishes on this farm are not new to the He family, but the ones produced by Lao Feng are all high-grade royal dishes, and the ones made by Aunt Yang are authentic farm dishes.For example, cucumbers will be cut into coir raincoats with a flower knife and marinated with garlic and sesame oil, instead of simply and crudely patting cucumbers like Aunt Yang.

But no matter which method is used, the ingredients are the same. In addition to picking peaches all morning, everyone’s stomachs are already rumbling with hunger. He swallowed his saliva.

The old man was overjoyed when he saw this, and greeted everyone while eating with a watermelon in his hand: "Come, come, sit down, sit down, eat first when the dishes are all set out."

Professor Pan ate two slices of watermelon chilled with well water, wiped his hands and shook his head and said, "We'd better wait until everyone is here before starting."

"Ah Qing and the others are not outsiders. Eat first when you are hungry, and you don't need to wait." The old man thanked Aunt Yang who poured tea for him, and asked the children with a smile: "Are you tired today? Eat more later. Come on." , If you’re hungry, try some corn on the cob.”

"We're not tired, it's Grandpa who's working hard." The representative and the others shook their heads sensiblely, insisting on waiting for He Wei and the others to arrive before starting.After eating some fruit, I'm actually not that hungry anymore. Swallowing saliva is purely greedy.

Where did Young Master He take his wife?Taking advantage of the cloudy sky and the breeze, I asked the old man and others to come to the big kitchen first, and the two of them turned to the vegetable field in front of Yiweiju to pour the well-proportioned culture solution.

Fortunately, there was a patrol car to travel back and forth. After arriving at the vegetable field, I took out the watering can that I had prepared in advance and watered it once. It was ok, and it didn't take long.After that, people loosen the soil every day, and after a while, the seeds can be planted.

After Aunt Yang brought all the dishes to the table, and the golden-yellow sweet corn on both sides was also put out of the pot, He Qingdong came back with a successful mission leading the little daughter-in-law.

"What? Everyone is preventing the two of you from falling in love? Are you going to hide and be sticky after all this time?" The old man jokingly winked at the helpless grandson, and then announced: "Move!"

With a huff, everyone held their chopsticks and ate hard.

He Wei didn't even have time to blush, so she joined the feasting queue.

"What a joy!" He Songbei ate a few slices of slightly spicy fish with pickled cabbage and took a sip of the rice wine made by Aunt Yang herself. Cool.

Putting down the wine bowl, he was about to nibble on a piece of his favorite duck wing, when he suddenly found two duck wings, one in the future sister-in-law's bowl, and the other in the hands of the twin brother.The sister-in-law naturally didn't dare to covet her, so she could only aim at the latter and wait for an opportunity to act.

Unexpectedly, with a twist of He Lingxi's wrist, the chopsticks fell into the bowl of the young representative of the orphanage: "Eat quickly."

"Thank you brother."

He Songbei was too embarrassed to compete with a ten-year-old girl, so he had to switch to dried bamboo shoots and duck pot, where there were still two duck wings.Unexpectedly, He Lingxi moved faster than him, so he sandwiched the two duck wings he was looking for into the bowls of the other two small friends, and called out two glutinous "Thank you brother".

He Songbei felt a toothache from watching it.

Forget it, duck wings don't have his share, so chicken wings are just fine.

He didn't have a part in cutting the chicken for nothing for a long time - two chicken wings were robbed by the old man halfway, and one was given to Professor Pan.He Songbei comforted himself: no one would grab the braised chicken nuggets from him.

He proudly picked up the appetizing chicken wings and threw it into his mouth, "It's delicious... sizzling! Why is it so spicy, Emma is so hot..." Gudong Gudong poured cold beer, and then Tongue sticking out hahaha gasping for breath, his words were tied up: "He Xiaosan, did you do it on purpose?"

He Lingxi gnawed the chicken feet of the white-cut chicken slowly: "You are stupid, who is to blame?"

Everyone watched the twins bickering with relish while scrambling for food.

But knowing that the plate in the middle is spicy chicken, those who don't know how to eat spicy food dare not use chopsticks.

Professor Pan's eyes lit up, who knows how to eat spicy food: "Spicy chicken? I haven't discovered it just now. Since everyone doesn't know how to eat spicy food, I'm not going to be polite. Hehehe..."

A sumptuous and solid farm meal made everyone enjoy themselves.

After the meal, He Qingdong asked the person in charge of the fruit forest, and learned that there were not many unpicked peaches, and one afternoon was enough time, so he sent the children of the orphanage back.

The main reason is that the fruit forest in the afternoon is more sultry, and it will be troublesome in case of heat stroke.The wages were [-] per person and settled on the spot, and they were also given a box of yellow peaches and flat peaches in combination.After that, I also prepared a few boxes for the elderly and children who did not come.

The old man originally planned to go home directly.

After all, I am getting old, I have been busy all morning, and it is a hot day, so I feel a little sleepy after lunch.

However, when distributing peaches to the children in the orphanage, the old man suddenly came up with an idea: "When I go back later, I will make a detour to the orphanage and take a look there."

After hearing the words of the children and adults, Professor Pan was also very moved. He felt that these children are all plastic talents. Unfortunately, the existing conditions limit their development, and they can help a little, so he agreed: "Then I will also Go and see it with my brother."

He Wei hasn't been to the orphanage since the summer vacation. Seeing that the midsummer is about to pass and the cool autumn is coming soon, it's time to make two new clothes for the children who are suffering from sprains.

So, after leaving the farm, the group went straight to the orphanage.

When the dean's mother saw the children came back, she not only brought back the labor income of the morning, but also earned a considerable amount of bonuses. In addition, she also had a box of yellow peaches and flat peaches, and praised the children with satisfaction. , and then invite He Wei and his party to sit in.

It was 01:30 in the afternoon, which was the hottest time of the day, so we had to wait for the next visit, but after seeing the photos and data compiled by the dean’s mother, the old man got inspired and asked He Wei: “Your warm sun Is the president supporting the orphanage?"

Before He Wei could nod her head, the dean's mother answered gratefully: "Yes, their children come here several times a year. Without their help, it would be impossible for all the children in the courtyard to go to school. A few of them couldn’t go to high school. Not to mention they still have brand new clothes, shoes and socks to wear. They also organize the medical examinations of the old people. Weiwei also taught us how to make mosquito repellent sachets and weave festive knots. They were the ones who contacted..."

"In June, Mr. He came to me specifically and said that there would be harvesting work on the farm in the future, and the older children in the yard would be asked to help, and the wages would be calculated according to the workers; in addition, a piece of land was allocated to us, and the output would be enough I ate in the courtyard. I was really, so touched at the time. With your kindness and helping hands, I believe that the elderly and children will have a good life..."

After speaking, the dean's mother choked up.This orphanage was originally founded by her parents. Originally, she had a younger brother who was abducted by human traffickers when she was a child. After looking for several years, there was no news. The parents were heartbroken and built this orphanage. Orphans and old people shelter from the wind and rain. I hope that my younger brother will also be adopted by kind people.

When she became an adult, she inherited her parents' wishes, never married, and devoted herself to this cause.Not long after the parents passed away, the orphanage was classified as a government charity organization, and the scale expanded. It was good to have social workers from the community to help, but the funds were always limited, and it was impossible to provide for every child to study until they graduated from high school. When we are old, we not only need people to take care of us, but also the medical expenses are also a headache.

But it has grown to such a scale, and it is no longer a private industry in nature but a non-profit institution. Not to mention that the dean’s mother can’t bear to close the door (where will these children live after the door is closed? These old people are looking for Who to rely on?) Even if she wants to shut it down, she can't make the decision.If children and the elderly want to live well, they can only be sponsored by Dongla and Xila.It wasn't until a few years ago when I met Lu Yanjin who had returned from studying abroad that the economic situation of the orphanage gradually improved.

"If your brother is still here, how old is he?" the old man asked.

The dean's mother wiped her tears and said, "He is ten years younger than me. He was four years old when he was abducted. This year, he is 35 years old."

"Are there any obvious characteristics on the body?" Professor Pan asked.

At 35 years old, he should still be alive. If there are any obvious characteristics, I can mobilize people to help find them.It can be regarded as fulfilling the lifelong wish of the dean's mother's family.

"Yes, yes." The dean's mother nodded hastily, "He has a black mole on his left brow, and a blue birthmark on the back of his right ear, near his shoulder, but it's relatively small. I don't know if it will fade when he grows up... ..."

The old man and Professor Pan nodded upon hearing this.

Either way, it's better to have features than no features.China has such a large population, and there are countless 35-year-old men in their prime. Searching without a clue is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

The old man asked Xiao Feng to write down these characteristics, pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, I can't promise you that I will find it for you, but I will try my best."

Professor Pan also nodded: "I will help to find it too. But don't expect too much. You and your parents have been searching for so many years but haven't found it. There were so many natural and man-made disasters a few years ago, it's hard to say..."

Professor Pan didn't say any more, but everyone could understand the meaning of the unfinished words, and they all sighed in their hearts.

"I know." The dean's mother bowed deeply to the two old people gratefully, "I am grateful enough for your help. If I can find it in my lifetime, I can feel at ease when I go down to see my parents. But if I really can't find it Now, I believe parents can also understand, it's not that my sister doesn't care, it's really that I tried my best..."

After leaving the orphanage, everyone felt very heavy.On the one hand, it is admiration for the dean's mother and anger at the kidnapper, and on the other hand, it is sympathy for the elderly and children of the orphanage.

Just when everyone was silent, He Qingdong took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the farm: "Where is Old Wei? Let him answer the phone."

He Wei looked at him puzzled, but He Qingdong pinched his cheek.

On the other side, Old Wei picked up the phone: "Captain He, are you looking for me?"

"It's good to follow other people and call me my boss in the future."

"...My boss."

The other people in the car couldn't help but look at each other when they heard it, and called to correct it because of a title?
Young Master He acted as if he hadn't seen it, and continued, "Old Wei, where is your hometown? Are there other people in the family?"

Old Wei was silent for a while, then said: "My hometown is Xiangcheng, there is... a younger brother at home, but I don't have a close relationship with him, so it's meaningless to go back."

"Where are your parents? They're not here anymore?"

"Yeah." Old Wei obviously didn't want to talk about family affairs, "My boss asked these..."

"Oh, I see that you have a mole on your brow and an inconspicuous birthmark on the back of your ear, which is very similar to the long-lost brother described by an elder I know, so just ask."

Everyone in the car: "..." Is this a random question?

Unexpectedly, Old Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly for a while and said, "Maybe I really am."
