Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 39

The aunt who carried the burden took Pomegranate and Qian Feng to the river. Most of the vegetable fields in this village are by the river, so it is more convenient to grow vegetables and water them.

Near the river, Shiliu saw his sister-in-law Ge Taohua in the vegetable field from a distance.The aunt who carried the burden smiled and left, and Pomegranate ran to the vegetable field, "Sister-in-law, aren't you going to plant rapeseed?"

Ge Taohua looked up at the pomegranate, and said, "I'll take back a load of peppers and radishes first, pickle them at night, and plant rapeseed later. Harvesting the vegetables is just a blink of an eye, and there is no delay." When she spoke Pulling out the radish quickly with both hands, the work is like a gust of wind.Don't look at how fast her hands are, the radishes she picks out are all big-headed. She only needs to look at the radish leaves to know whether the radishes growing underground are big or small.

At this time, she saw Qian Feng also coming, straightened up and sighed: "Oh, why did God open his eyes only now, and sent his second brother to work in the fields after the family was divided?"

Qian Feng smiled sheepishly, then squatted down to pull out the carrots.

"Wait! This belongs to my house, and yours is the sedan!" Ge Taohua pointed to the sedan next to the river.

Pomegranate and Qian Feng happily went to their vegetable field.Qian Feng pulled out a radish casually, and it turned out to be as small as a carrot. He picked up another radish with big and green leaves, and it was still a small tender radish.

How is this going?Qian Feng said to the sister-in-law at the other end: "Sister-in-law, did you plant it early in your chambers? Why do you pull out big radishes, while mine are all small radishes?"

Ge Taohua raised his head and looked at Qian Feng with contempt, "You said you are so big, are you just a rice bag? This radish was planted by my mother and I on the same day, and it's only your family who grows smaller?"

Pomegranate laughed and came to teach Qian Feng, "You can't pull out the leaves that are green, they are still growing. You have to pull out the leaves that have turned yellow, and some leaves have dropped to one or two leaves." , This kind of radish is either a big radish or a radish that doesn't grow, you can pull it out. The one you pulled out is suitable for eating raw, and it's very sweet."

"Really?" Qian Feng had never eaten raw radishes before.

Pomegranate took out the hatchet from the basket, peeled the two tender radishes that Qian Feng pulled out with two or three strokes, and each of them took one and sat on the ground stalk to eat.

Qian Feng took a few bites, "Well, it's really sweet, like eating fruit."

Pomegranate followed with a hehe laugh, biting crisply in his mouth.

The corner of Ge Taohua's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, are you here to work or to eat?

Qian Feng said while eating: "Small radishes are eaten raw, medium radishes are eaten with stir-fried vegetables, and large radishes are eaten with pickled pickles. When pickling pickles, they can be pickled into spicy radishes, salty radishes, sour radishes, and can also be pickled into radish slices, radish cubes, and radish. Strips, shredded radish, hey, radish is a treasure!"

Shiliu clapped her hands, "Qian Feng, you can talk, you go around."

Ge Taohua couldn't take it anymore, and said angrily, "Hey, second brother, why do you have the ability to plant land? Why don't you go to the town and set up a table, and go tell a story!"

After speaking, Ge Taohua put the plucked radishes and peppers into the basket, picked them up, and left. She felt that working with this young couple was simply suffering.

Ge Taohuatu talked happily, and left after speaking, but Qian Feng was stunned when he heard it, and then slammed his palms, and said: "Pomegranate, sister-in-law, this is a good idea, I can really set up a storytelling stall in the town !"

Shiliu was rolling with laughter, "Qian Feng, you are so stupid, sister-in-law is just joking with you, do you really mean it?"

Unexpectedly, it was Shiliu's turn to scold Qian Feng for being stupid. Unconvinced, Qian Feng took a bite of the radish and said, "Hmph, don't laugh, just wait and see. I'll go to town tomorrow and try."

After eating the radishes, I really have to work now.Qian Feng had only pulled out a dozen radishes, but a basket of pomegranates had already been pulled out.A load of radishes is enough to pull out, and then pick peppers.

"Qian Feng, pick it with a little effort, don't knock off the little white flowers on top, those little white flowers will bear peppers." Pomegranate felt very distressed when he saw that the little white flowers fell straight down when he picked them.

In the end, Qian Feng still picked dozens of pomegranates, but the pomegranate basket was already full.

Now is the question of how to get home. Qian Feng knew that if he gritted his teeth, he could pick a load of radishes back, but why should he suffer this crime? Could it be that such a smart person as himself can't think of a way to save effort? ?Although pomegranate is easy to pick, but she is a woman who carries heavy burdens all day long, and she will wear out in a few years, he can't bear it.

It seems that I have to make a four-wheeled scooter, but no, the four-wheeled scooter can only be used on big dirt roads, and this kind of path between fields cannot be walked, so I have to make a wheelbarrow.Well, I have to make all the unicycles and four-wheeled carts, so that I don’t have to pick or carry them no matter where I go, and I have to pull a lot of things.

But what about the burden in front of us?
Just then, he came up with a great idea!

"Pomegranate, you wait here, don't pick it, I have a good idea!" Qian Feng said and ran home.

Pomegranate was curious, so she sat down and waited, picking up a tender radish and eating it.
