Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Early the next morning.

The orchards reclaimed by Deng Shirong's and Deng Yunqiang's families began to plant lychee trees. This was a landmark planting in Naye Village, so everyone in the village who was idle, regardless of men, women, old and young, came over to watch.

In particular, the families who decided to follow the captain to open orchards and plant fruit trees were extremely concerned about this planting.

The people who came to help Deng Shirong plant are all experienced farmers in the village. Although they have never planted such lychee seedlings, the methods of planting fruit trees are similar. Basically, as long as Deng Shirong talks about it, they will understand what to do.

They are all farmers who are accustomed to doing the work. After watching it once, others basically understand how to operate it.

As a result, everyone volunteered to help with the planting, and even those who did not have farm tools even ran back to carry their own farm tools.

It was originally planned to take one day to complete the planting, but because there were so many people who volunteered to help, it only took more than three hours to plant all the 1,000 lychee seedlings, watering them in strict accordance with the regulations. Applying farmyard manure is really efficient.

After helping Deng Shirong's family plant, many people took the initiative to help Deng Yunqiang's family in order to gain experience for themselves.

In just half a day, all of Deng Yunqiang’s lychee saplings were planted.

In the next few days, about one-third of the households in Naye Village began cutting down trees and grass in preparation for the upcoming orchard cultivation.

Of course, there are about two-thirds of the families who have not made any move. The main reason is that after these people went back to discuss with their families, they all felt that the cost of investing in orchard planting was too high, and it was unknown whether they would make money. People who wanted stability naturally did not want to end it so early. , first observe the planting situation of other people in the village, confirm that there are real harvests, and then follow up with planting.

In later generations, except for those who work outside, rural people are in a state of relaxation during the New Year before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. In Hakka parlance, it is the New Year.

But in this day and age, generally after the fifth day of the first lunar month, everyone is busy with work, such as planting sugarcane, peanuts, cassava, taro, and planting seedlings, etc.

As long as you are willing to do it, there is endless work.

…

In the kitchen, Bu Dashi was learning to cook from his cousin Deng Yunzhen, and Zhang Xiuping helped light the fire.

On the second day of the new year, Deng Shirong asked his nephew Bu Dashi to come over and learn cooking from him. However, Bu Dashi still had zero foundation in cooking. At present, his cousin Deng Yunzhen was more than enough to teach him. Naturally, Deng Shirong, the Q man, did not need to do it himself.

"Cousin, when making yellow stir-fried pork, you must put the whole piece of pork in and cook it. Don't cut it into pieces and cook it. You can't just fry it without cooking it. That way it won't be fragrant."

Deng Yunzhen explained the key points of yellow fried pork to her cousin one by one: "When cooking, you need to cook it for a little longer, so that the fried yellow pork will not be hard and the taste will be better."

Bu Dashi asked: "Cousin, this needs to be cooked longer. How long should it be cooked?"

"It depends on the size of the pork. For the piece of meat we are cooking now, it only takes about half an hour. It should be almost done now."

Deng Yunzhen said, poked it with chopsticks, then lifted the meat and placed it on the chopping board next to it, and continued to explain: "This yellow fried pork should not be cut into too small pieces. It should be cut into slightly larger pieces and stir-fried." It will smell better when you wake up.”

After her sister-in-law picked up the meat, Zhang Xiuping filled the pot with broth and then cleaned the pot.

She did not continue to listen to her sister-in-law's explanation of how to make yellow fried pork. She had been married to the Deng family for almost two months. She had already learned about the yellow fried pork that was often eaten at home. Now the yellow fried pork she makes is not as good as I dare say it's more delicious than my father-in-law's, but it's no less delicious than my sister-in-law's.

…

In the living room, Bu Dafang and Jiang Dehu were asking Deng Shirong for advice on litchi management techniques.

On the second day of the new year, I returned from Mr. Q's house and asked my sister-in-law to help take care of the children. After renting the land to others for farming, Bu Dafang and Jiang Dehu came over in advance to help with the work.

Deng Shirong had managed Litchi Mountain in his previous life. Although the varieties of lychees he planted were not good, he still had planting and management experience. There was no pressure to teach these two newbies, Bu Dafang and Jiang Dehu, and he put his experience in managing Litchi Mountain in his previous life one by one. Explain it again.

After the two of them digested what he explained, it was time to eat.

Today's meal is relatively simple. There are only two meat dishes, one is yellow fried pork, the other is braised fish, and there are a few plates of green vegetables and pickles.

However, for Jiang Dehu, Bu Dafang, and Bu Dashi, this was already a very rich meal.

Moreover, after Deng Yunzhen's father's teachings, not only is her cooking skills better than before, she is not as reluctant to put oil when cooking as before. Even the same dish tastes ten times better than Jiang Dehu's. .

Jiang Dehu sighed in his heart while eating, not to mention that Mr. Q gave the couple such a high salary, even if he only paid half of the salary, including the food, it was still a good job that no one could grab.

After dinner, Deng Shirong asked: "Ahu, who has a puppy in your village?"

Jiang Dehu said: "My cousin's family has one. His dog gave birth to five puppies a year ago. Mr. Q, do you want to raise a dog?"

Deng Shirong said: "I plan to raise a few dogs, one at home to look after the house, and two or three in Litchi Mountain. This can prevent some bad things from happening."

Jiang Dehu said quickly: "That's easy to handle. I will take time to go home tomorrow, say hello to my cousin, and ask him to keep the puppy with Mr. Q. He can take the puppy back when it is two months old. Raised."

Deng Shirong hummed and said, "Okay, then you can go back and tell your cousin tomorrow."

It is very effective to keep a dog to guard Lychee Mountain.

Although Deng Shirong had already planted plants covered with hooks and thorns around Litchi Mountain, once these plants grew up, it would be basically impossible for people or larger animals to enter Litchi Mountain from the surrounding area.

But there is always an entrance to Lychee Mountain. Even if Deng Shirong locks a door at the entrance, it can only protect against ordinary people, but not those with evil intentions.

But if you keep two or three dogs on Lychee Mountain, combined with the original protection of Lychee Mountain, it will be much safer.

This is not unfounded by Deng Shirong. Even in later generations, almost every household planted lychee trees, and each of them had to build one or two houses on Lychee Mountain. When the lychees matured, they had to live on the mountain and look after the orchard to prevent others from picking all the lychees. Do not know at all.

No matter what era you are in, there is always no shortage of petty thieves.

Although Deng Shirong did not rely on Lychee Mountain to make a fortune, he did not want to take advantage of those thieves.
