Farmhouse Senda

Chapter 237 Pulling the Watermelon Vine
(I really don’t know much about hatching. I used to think that after laying eggs, any male or female can hatch chicks. After seeing the opinion of “Wen Yong” in the comment area yesterday, I also searched the forum and Bai. It is said that after a female bird lays an egg, if there is no male bird to hatch for a period of time, it cannot produce a baby bird, such as parrots and pigeons. Then I was confused. On this point, there are different opinions, or experts in this field , Go to the comment area and tell me, spread the knowledge for me, and I will correct it humbly. ---Those who don’t have time to read books and cram agricultural knowledge, they can’t even write books.)
After returning from hunting yesterday, according to the workers, they only picked enough fruits for a cart, a total of more than 3000 catties.

Shady orchards are indeed not very good. Even if space spring water is added, the output cannot keep up. The sun is the best source of growth.

More than 3000 catties were given to Tian Mu at a price of 30 yuan per catty, which is more than [-] yuan. This amount of money is not as amazing as it was at first, but it is not enough.Not to mention other things, just buying some jade to upgrade a small space is not enough.

The watermelon vines in the field should have been pulled out long ago, but due to the busyness of other affairs, only a small part was pulled out, and the sowing of other vegetables was about to be delayed, so everyone was a little anxious.

To put it bluntly, there is not enough manpower in the village. In such a busy season, the farm needs to recruit small workers.But Xu Jingshou recruited all the remaining laborers in the village, and the young villagers were still working in other places, so it was understandable that there was a labor shortage.

So after coming back today, Li Qingyun's parents took the initiative to say that they will not go to help their daughter's shop tomorrow, and they will not let Li Qingyun run around. They must concentrate all their efforts to pull out all the watermelon vines in the field, and then discuss it. It is a small green vegetable. , or lettuce, or Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, bitter chrysanthemum, baby vegetables and the like.

Because winter is the season for eating hot pot, these hot pot must have green vegetables, which often sell for a good price.

Besides, like Li Qingyun's evil watermelon, if you don't pull it out, you will be on the scientific truth-seeking program of CCTV. The watermelon has been ripening since May, and it is still producing small watermelons by the end of September. Spring, maybe it will have a second spring, and there will be a watermelon garden all over the ground, and it will be impossible to explain it to the world.

The next day, Li Qingyun didn't need his parents to urge him to go to the field to pull melons and vines at dawn.At this time, the watermelon vines were already withered and yellow in large areas, and only the top part of the vines felt green. There were also flowers and small watermelons on the green parts.

From each watermelon vine, after pulling it out, you can pick more than a dozen small watermelons, the big ones are like plates, and the small ones are like the mouth of a bowl.The yield is too high. When ordinary watermelons are plucked, it is not bad to have four or five small watermelons on one vine.

Tongtong and Maomao heard yesterday that the melons and vines were going to be pulled today, and they got up at dawn. Not long after Li Qingyun entered the melon field, they also rushed to the field, yelling, and ran into the field, saying they wanted to help.

Li Qingyun was very happy and encouraged them a few words, but it didn't take long before he realized that something was wrong. These two little guys came to pull melons and vines, but they were here to move watermelons. They moved as many small watermelons as Li Qingyun picked. The little watermelons were all moved to the field, and they said they would set up a stall today.

Li Qingyun has nothing to do with these two little money lovers, so let them do whatever they want with these watermelons that are closed.Anyway, there are no ripe fruits on the tree, and the vegetables have just been taken away by Dahua Trading, so they can't be allowed to mess around with those things.

Gold coins and silver coins, urged by the two children, put the small basket on their backs and let them help the hunchback.The two wrong dogs were quite good-natured, although they were full of grievances, they still chirped and whined, and helped them hunch over the small watermelons they picked to the open space.

When Li Chengwen and Chen Xiuzhi came to call Li Qingyun for dinner, the two children had already started to set up a stall, and they didn't plan to go back to eat, saying that they were full from watermelon.

The two children patted their bulging bellies, proving to the adults how full they were.

But after Li Qingyun had breakfast, he brought them two cabbage pancakes, and seeing how they devoured them hungrily, he knew how fake it was just now.

Li Qingyun smiled, and didn't bother to expose them, saying that watermelons are still calculated at ten yuan a catty, and if there are old people and children who want to eat, you can give them a taste, don't be too stingy.As for the unreasonable city people, you can ignore them. If you really want to make trouble, you can ask the passing villagers to help.

Both Tongtong and Maomao said they knew it, and told him not to worry, saying that this was not the first time they set up a stall, and they had experience.

When Li Qingyun arrived in Lidi, he didn't work for long. Liu Xiangqian, the director of the town police station, came with two attendants, and said with a smile that there was nothing wrong in the station, and he wanted to come to the countryside to have a look.Since it happens that there is work here, let me help out with some work.

How could Li Qingyun make them work hard? After working for half an hour, seeing that their movements were a little sluggish, he took them to rest and smashed a few small watermelons with his fists for them to taste.

Although it is a garden melon, the aura and flavor contained in it have not dropped too much.After tasting it, they almost chewed off their tongues, and kept praising the deliciousness.

"Oh, I didn't make this trip in vain. I heard about it in the town, saying that your watermelon is the most expensive, but the people in the city are rushing to get it. Ordinary people can't buy it for 100 yuan a catty. , and other people’s houses can’t be sold for a dollar or a catty, so it’s all true.”

"Just passing by, I saw two children selling small garden watermelons at the gate for ten yuan a catty. We still laughed and said it was too black-hearted. Alas, we didn't say anything. When we went back, we would each buy ten yuan a catty. A few, take them back to give the wife and children a taste. Hmm... I have never eaten such a delicious watermelon in my life."

The three of them were eating, and the words of praise were endless.After eating so much that his stomach was full, Liu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Yesterday, Zhang Hu's grandson made trouble and offended you? Should I arrest him and lock him up for a few days? It's not that I abused my power, but that he has a lot of problems. Whichever complaint file is drawn, he can be detained for half a month."

Li Qingyun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's all in the past, folks in the village, there is no need to care about the truth. Besides, he is also considered interesting, not too much."

Seeing that Li Qingyun had no intention of revenge, Liu Xiangqian breathed a sigh of relief. If he really wanted to detain Zhang Hu, he would be under a lot of pressure, so Li Qingyun was fine and he was happy to relax.

Li Qingyun's parents also came to pull the melon vines with spare workers.The area they are in is the melon area. If the small melons are not ripe, they will have a bitter taste. The picked small melons are inedible, but there are also some with yellow skin, which can be eaten by the workers. Workers can work while eating. Their enthusiasm is still very high.

By noon, more than half of this large piece of land had been pulled out, and it could be solved by doing another job in the afternoon.

Liu Xiangqian and the two policemen were not allowed to leave. He was here to help, not to mention his identity, but just to help, he couldn't let him go for nothing, and he had to take care of the lunch at noon.The workers are paid, and there is a workers' canteen, so Li Qingyun doesn't have to worry about their meals.

Unripe small watermelon, peel off, cut into strips, fry the noodles in the pan, and come out of the pan when it is yellow.Use bean drum, chili, Chinese prickly ash, green onion, ginger, and garlic to burn, and light soy sauce before serving.

The flavor of the seasoning is very strong, but the raw watermelon is very fresh and delicious, with a special fragrance of aura. When it is eaten in the mouth, it not only tastes good, but also does not get angry, because the raw watermelon has the effect of diuretic and fire, and the quality of the main ingredients and ingredients It is neutral in nature and can benefit different people from eating.

The spicy radish planted in the ground is fresh and tender. It is autumn radish. After washing it, cut it into thin shreds, sprinkle some fine salt, boil the chili and peppercorns in the pot, pour the oil on top, and mix it slightly. A delicious side dish.

These two dishes were made by Li Qingyun himself. After they were ready, they were handed over to his parents. He, Liu Xiangqian and others went to drink.Liu Xiangqian ate until his tongue was almost chewed out, and he tried his best not to finish the food on the plate, saying that when Li Qingyun's parents came over, we would all taste these delicacies together.

Because I still have to work in the afternoon, and I have been busy for a long time in the morning, I am very tired, and I didn’t do anything. I picked all vegetarian vegetables, which were all grown in my own land. It only took more than ten minutes, and seven or eight vegetarian dishes were enough It was all served, and the only meat dish was a braised grass carp in braised sauce. As for the shredded pork in the vegetarian dish, that was only a side dish, not the main meat dish.

Liu Xiangqian felt that he was valued very much. He drank Li Qingyun's privately kept good space wine, toasted Li Chengwen three times in a row, and said that he had made Li Qingyun a friend, which was very good. He hated not knowing him before, which was the biggest mistake in his life.

He said that he is doing very well in the town now, he is taken care of by Mayor Wu, and he is doing his job smoothly. The inside and outside of the police station are all cleaned up. In the security brigade.He also said that Lijiazhai had not yet set up a village security brigade, and asked Li Qingyun if he was interested. As long as he was interested, he could talk to the above, and at the same time greet the village chief Li Tianlai. One sentence can make him the most powerful person in the village. man.

Li Qingyun smiled, feeling that Liu Xiangqian had drunk too much. The most powerful man in each village in Qinglong Town was not the captain of the security team, nor the secretary of the village party committee or the village chief, but the elders of each village.Those old men, with only a little brains, coupled with their seniority and influence in the clan, would easily make a village head empty.

For example, Chen Sansi of Chenjiagou, if he is not the village party secretary, it will be boring for other people to be in front of him, because the whole village has to listen to him in everything.But in Lijiazhai, if his grandfather Li Chunqiu wanted to intervene in specific matters, no one would dare to disobey him. First, he had enough prestige, and second, he had enough means and brains. The village chief Li Tianlai was afraid of him.

Li Qingyun saw this situation better than anyone else, so he didn't have the slightest idea about this security captain.However, if the village engages in farmhouse entertainment, the security situation in the future will be more complicated. I don't want to be the captain of the security team, so I can give it to someone I trust.

Li Qingyun felt that the guy with the big head was a good guy, he was cheap and shameless, maybe he could climb up slowly and work in the town police station, but he didn't know if Li Yuncong was interested in it.Being the captain of the public security team for two years first will not delay his civil servant examination... It will not even delay him from inheriting his ancestral business and becoming an earth snake doctor.

With the help of Jiu Jin, Li Qingyun told Liu Xiangqian what was in his heart. Liu Xiangqian listened and said with a smile, it's all trivial, as long as you think it's okay, then it's okay.

Li Qingyun also couldn't figure out why Liu Xiangqian gave himself so much face, and only heard him mention it when he was sent away after dinner.It turned out that his son joined the army and was taken care of by a certain leader of the army. When he chatted in his free time, he realized that Li Qingyun's relationship with him was too good. He was actually the leader's old boss. relationship.
