And this time, Zhao Han, who had been ignoring Zhao Guoqing all the time, held a cigarette pouch in his hand, and wanted to say a few words to him to ease the relationship, after all, it turned out.
My grandson was right in refusing to marry Chen Furong back then.
But facing Zhao Guoqing who didn't care about him at all, Zhao Han opened his mouth, but why couldn't he open his mouth?
Let him follow this brat and apologize softly, it can't be done!
Hmph, in the end Zhao Han left angrily again.
Zhao Guoqing didn't pay attention to these at this time, he was busy cooking porridge with white rice, and added some sweet potatoes.
The main reason is that the weather is hot now, and it is more comfortable to sweat and eat more porridge.
Zhao Guoqing took a cucumber, added a little garlic and green onion, picked a lot of mangroves, thought about adding a little sugar to the tomato salad.
Now this white sugar is still available on a ticket basis, and it is sold in limited quantities and it is not cheap. If you are visiting relatives and friends when you go to another house as a guest, if you serve a bowl of white sugar water and a few eggs, you will be regarded as a distinguished guest at the door.
Many sons-in-law came to the door, but they didn't get this kind of treatment.
Zhao Guoqing fried another bean with chili sauce. This dish is appetizing with rice. Everyone likes to eat it. Today he also fried a large pot with an extra spoonful of oil in it.
When Liu Zhenfang came back from work, the family sat down to eat together.
Zhao Gui hadn't come back yet, and he was still making furniture at Zhang Guoqing's side. Zhang's family was in charge of lunch, and the younger siblings ate together happily.
Zhao Youqing said that he went to the river to catch some fish in the afternoon and wanted to eat fish.
"Okay, if you catch loaches and small fishes, I'll deep-fry them for you to keep them delicious and not fishy!"
"Fried? Brother, is it true or not?"
When Zhao Youqing heard about frying, his eyes lit up.
The fish and shrimp will smell fishy if not handled well, but as long as you are willing to give oil, the fish and shrimp will taste good.
But this oil is also expensive, and I usually don’t want to put more in cooking at home.
"Really, I fried you for snacks..."
There are not many chances to eat meat, but Zhao Youqing can catch fish. Now that the weather is hot, he often goes into the water to catch fish.
In the past, every time I caught fish, I would be scolded by Mrs. Mei because it was too expensive.
But fish is really nutritious, whether it is soup or as a snack for them, it is an excellent food.
It's just that at this time, there is no such thing as snacks and snacks at all, and they can't even eat enough. Who is so extravagant and so generous to give their children snacks?
But Zhao Guoqing was happy.
Zhao Youqing listened to his elder brother's words the most. Seeing that his mother was silent, he agreed with a smile.
But in the afternoon, Zhao Guoqing asked his younger brother to dig the land with him, digging out a piece of wasteland in their backyard. Because the land was shaded by trees and sandy, it was always impossible to grow crops and vegetables.
So it has been left unused, Zhao Guoqing plans to dig out and grow Gastrodia elata.
Gastrodia elata likes such a semi-shady environment, and doesn't like stagnant water, so a ditch needs to be opened next to it.
There was no cow, so the two brothers came with a shovel. Fortunately, they were not in a hurry. They used the shovel to dig the ground every day, but it was hot, and Zhao Guoqing's clothes were all wet with sweat after not working for a while.
Not far away, Wang Chunhua was talking strangely over there.
"Oh, the grandson of the old Zhao's family is hardworking. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to farm. It's a hot day to dig a piece of sandy land. Or else, people still need to study. If you don't study, your brain is not enough. Only brute force..."
Wang Chunhua said this to Zhao Guoqing, because her son is a college student.
"Auntie, you have to study too, otherwise, you can only be blind and don't understand..."
Zhao Guoqing laughed, haha, Wang Chunhua thought he was growing crops in this sandy land?
Chapter 79 Then Bet!
Where there are sandy soil and shade trees, it is definitely impossible to grow crops.
Maybe it was a busy day.
In the past two days, Wang Chunhua has heard others praise Zhao Guoqing everywhere, and she feels very uncomfortable in her heart. If she doesn't say a few words, her mouth feels itchy.
Obviously this Zhao Guoqing is stubborn and doesn't respect his elders, how can he be more sensible than his son Daqing?
But when she opened her mouth to speak, Zhao Daqing yelled at her, and she felt even more uncomfortable in her heart, so she started scolding directly.
"I'm blind, I can't understand, I want to see, can you grow a flower on this piece of broken sand? If this sandy land can grow three to five hundred catties of grain, I, I will give it to you." You have ten dollars to admit that you are right, and if you lose, you will give me ten dollars..."
"Okay, if you think you're not blind, then go ahead and gamble. That's a good deal. If you grow something that can exchange for five hundred catties of grain, you've lost!"
The two started a bet while talking like this, and Wang Chunhua was afraid that Zhao Guoqing would go back on his word.
They also called Liu Zhenfang, Zhao Han and others to come to testify, fearing that Zhao Guoqing would regret it later.
Wang Chunhua snorted coldly, never thinking that Zhao Guoqing's land had no intention of growing food at all.
And Wang Chunhua likes to gossip.
In less than a day, the whole Chaoyang brigade knew about the ten yuan bet between her and Zhao Guoqing.
Many people were laughing, saying that Wang Chunhua was smart and wanted to coax Zhao Guoqing's ten dollars.
"Hey, I'm still being righteous, I'm afraid that Zhao Guoqing will be scolded by her mother Liu Zhenfang! Otherwise, I'll bet 30 yuan, 30 yuan..."
Wang Chunhua's big talk this time means she is still merciful, and she is sure to win this time.
Because, on that piece of wasteland, she and Zhao Fu tried to grow some sweet potatoes a few years ago, who knew there was a reason for the soil quality and shade.
No crops grow at all.
After a year of busy work, the last [-] catties of sweet potatoes were not returned. She and Zhao Fu were so regretful that they refused to plant them. The land was abandoned for many years.
That's why she bet with Zhao Guoqing this time, and 30 yuan is already all the private money she can come up with.
When Zhao Guoqing went to the brigade, he heard many people inquiring about it, and some even laughed at Zhao Guoqing's young man who didn't know how to grow crops, so he might lose money this time if he bet like others.
Losing ten yuan at a time is really a prodigal.
"It's okay, you can't lose, everyone will be a witness when the time comes..."
Zhao Guoqing smiled, but he really didn't take it seriously.
That piece of land is very suitable for growing Gastrodia elata, and the wind direction is good in the half-shaded sandy land.
Originally, Zhao Guoqing planned to turn over the land slowly and plant Gastrodia elata when he had free time. Now that he had made a bet, Zhao Guoqing had to call his uncle to plant Gastrodia elata with him this time.
In addition to some wood, gastrodia elata also needs some gastrodia elata rice.
Fortunately, Zhao Guoqing went up to the mountain a while ago, and he knew exactly where there was Gastrodia elata in the mountain. He originally planned to dig in late autumn, but this time he wanted to expand the scale.
Simply go into the mountains and dig up some wild Gastrodia elata as seeds.
When he went, he took Zhao Youqing and his uncle, and the three of them were near Ermei Mountain.
I just turned over many mountains and dug out all the gastrodia elata that had been marked, but left a little gastrodia elata in each place, so that in the next year, I can dig again, but the output is less.
A few people worked for a day, and they carried less than one hundred catties of gastrodia elata down the mountain.
And most of them are gastrodia elata the size of garlic cloves or peanuts, and only a few have more than half a pair of gastrodia.
If these are sold, the value is not high, but the effect of saving seeds is particularly good.
It is enough to save a few tens of catties and plant it in one or two acres of land.
Zhao Guoqing had taught his uncle to plant Gastrodia elata, this time Liu Zhendian came to help, and several people worked together very quickly.
First, dig the sandy soil a little deeper, put some arm-thick, one-meter-long logs in it, and place them at a certain distance one by one.
Then sprinkle Gastrodia elata rice and sand on these logs, and cover them with a thick layer of sand after finishing.
These Gastrodia elata are grown in this way. Even if there are many people on one or two acres of land, it will take a day or two. Zhao Youqing took some time to catch some fish and shrimp in the river.
Fortunately, he caught five or six crucian carp, as well as a lot of dried shrimp and small hemp fish.
The water quality around the Chaoyang brigade is good, and there are a lot of river shrimp in the river ditch fish ponds, as well as wild small eel fish that look small but taste particularly delicious.
These things are fuel consumption salt.
Because her younger brother came to the house, Liu Zhenfang went to the tofu-grinding farmer in the team to buy two pieces of tofu. When she came back, she cooked them with crucian carp, and then fried the small hemp fish with the peppers from the vegetable garden.
Spicy and fragrant!
There was a little river prawn left, and Zhao Youqing said desperately that his elder brother had promised him that the fish and prawns he caught had been deep-fried, so he wanted to fry the prawns as a snack.
Liu Zhenfang felt sorry for her son, so she simply took two eggs and fried a large pot with leeks, which was also a dish.
I also fried a large plate of water spinach that I grew, and added a steamed pumpkin.
When the four dishes were brought to the table, Liu Zhendian kept saying that the eldest sister was too expensive.
"Uncle, in the future, when I have money, I will give you eight dishes, all of which are hard dishes..."
Zhao Youqing joked on one side, while Zhao Guoqing laughed at him on the other side.
"Excellent, you only have eight dishes if you have money? You should say, if you have money, treat my uncle to a full banquet!"
"What is the Manchu Banquet, I don't know!"
Zhao Youqing was stunned when he heard it. His family was poor and he didn't eat much meat. This was the first time he heard about the Man Han Banquet.
Liu Zhendian on one side patiently explained to Zhao Youqing and Zhao Dongxue on the other side, what is the Manchu Banquet, saying that it was eaten by the emperor in the past, and when there were [-] dishes, the whole family was shocked.
"My God, one hundred and eight dishes? It's a waste to eat it alone. Can you finish it?"
Liu Zhenfang was frowning, and Liu Zhendian explained that the emperor can give vegetables, etc., and said that this crucian carp tofu soup is a good thing.
The family ate with uncle Liu Zhendian, talking and laughing.
Zhao Guoqing took a sip of crucian carp tofu soup.
The fish soup is so delicious that people want to swallow their tongues in one mouthful. As for the fried fish with chili, it is really delicious.
Everyone was very satisfied with this meal.
Zhao Dongxue even said something.
"Uncle, come to my house tomorrow. Once you come, life at home will be better than Chinese New Year..."
When Zhao Dongxue said this, everyone laughed. Liu Zhendian had a sore nose and patted her niece's head.
The kids are still too skinny.
It's not good to eat!That's why I'm so thin.
"By the way, little brother, didn't you say you wanted to talk about your daughter-in-law when you came back this time? It's been so long, and I haven't heard anything. What's going on with you..."
Liu Zhenfang's words made Liu Zhendian, who was still feeling emotional, blush all of a sudden.
Chapter 80 Uncle's Object?
"Sister, what are you in a hurry for? If you really want to marry a wife, I will definitely notify you to have a drink..."
Liu Zhendian is usually a cheerful person.
But at this time, he was a little awkward. Zhao Guoqing saw his uncle blushing and thick-necked, which made people find it funny.
I didn't expect my uncle to be shy too.
But looking at this appearance, I'm afraid there is a girl he likes.
As a nephew, I am too embarrassed to ask him.
"Which girl, don't you tell me, let the elder sister give you a palm and give you some ideas? You, you have been in the army all year round, this daughter-in-law really needs to find a good one, she must be virtuous and reasonable..."
Liu Zhenfang was somewhat disapproving.
Marriage between a man and a woman is a big deal, so why is my little brother having an affair with him?
What is there to say, hesitating?
"Well, I, I'll talk to National Day later, I haven't written off the horoscope yet..."
Liu Zhendian looked at the table, Zhao Dongxue and Zhao Youqing, who both pricked up their ears, always felt a little shy to say this in front of several nieces and nieces.
But he believed in Zhao Guoqing.
After all, Zhao Guoqing and him are only eight years apart.
And the two of them have something in common. He has been in the army all the time. If he was at home, the children would be soy sauce.
