Chapter 531 Planting Camellia Oil Trees

Chapter 531 Planting Camellia Oil Trees

"Are you hungry? Let Xiaoqing cook you a bowl of rice noodles." Seeing that Su Zimu was also covered in mud, Su Ah Nai felt even more distressed.

Su's father was okay. There was mud on his body, but not as much as them. He stabilized his backpack and then went to wash away the mud.

"Don't be busy, Mom, you're not hungry yet. We just came back after breakfast. Let's eat together later."

"Hurry up and go back to the house and change your clothes to avoid catching a cold." Su A'nai returned to the fire pit and added a few more firewood into it.

Su Ziling took a small pot and put it on the fire pit to cook ginger soup for them. It had just rained and the temperature was low. They were walking on a forest road, and their bodies were covered with moisture. If they didn't drink a bowl of ginger soup, they would catch a cold.

By the time Mother Su and the others came out after changing their clothes, the ginger soup was already ready. Su Ziling cooked it in boiling water, so it was much faster.

"Auntie, come and drink a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold."

Mother Su rubbed her hands and took the ginger soup to warm them. Her lips were still a little trembling when she spoke, "Let it sit for a while and warm it up first. It's too cold."

She exhaled and looked around the room. She didn't see Mr. Su, Su Zizhong and the others, so she asked casually, "Where are Zizhong and the others?"

"Your father went to visit us. Zizhong went out with twenty others. He probably went up the mountain. He said it was raining and he went to see the tea trees in the mountain."

Su A scratched the fire pit and pulled out some charcoal, "Xiao Qing, haven't you eaten that bait piece yet? Bring a few pieces over and bake them. Just leave one piece for each of your grandpa and the others."

"Hey, okay." Su Ziling stood up and took some potatoes and islets, "Then I'll mix some shredded potatoes and use them to roll bait cubes later."

She cut the pancreatic islets into thin slices and mixed them directly, and cut the potatoes into thin strips, blanched them in water, and mixed them. Then she took out two pieces of fermented bean curd, mashed them, and added them into the sauce.

Place the bait pieces on the pan and bake slowly until both sides are golden brown. Brush with the sauce made from fermented bean curd, then add shredded potato and islet fruit. (Grilled bait cubes)

If you like cilantro, fenugreek root, minced garlic, or green onions, you can also add them. She prepares a lot of ingredients to see if everyone likes it.

After adding all the ingredients, you can roll it up directly. For her family to eat, she rolled up some more vegetables. People like Su Ah Nai have small appetites, and they are basically full after one meal.

After eating a piece of bait, Su Ziling reminded Mother Su that they drank the ginger soup.

After eating, Su's mother and the others also recovered. Su's father took the backpack and started to pack things.

The basket was covered with two banana leaves. When the banana leaves were opened, a basket full of things was filled inside.

There were fish, shrimps, a few pieces of konjac tofu, and even some dried wild animals. I heard that Su Ziling was buying red beans and mung beans.

The two aunts went to ask some questions, and Su's father and the others also carried them back together.

"These are red beans and mung beans. I told your uncle and the others that there are seeds at home, but they insist on us taking them back. Even if they say it is true, they won't eat it. You will force it on us."

Su's father said as he took out something.

Su Ziling took a look and saw that they were all picked up. There were no shells, crumbs, or even shriveled ones. Apparently Grandma Li and the others had picked them out.

"It's just right. Let's plant a piece of mung beans this year. Then we can sprout bean sprouts and make mung bean soup."

Father Su scratched his head, "We only have so much land, and we have to grow beans, peppers, peanuts, potatoes, taro and other miscellaneous things. At this rate, we won't be able to grow much corn."

Su Ziling blinked. She had naturally thought of this. As corn was the main crop, and it would have to pay taxes, it was natural to plant more of it, the better.

She raised her head and looked at Father Su and the others, "I think so. Third Aunt is also pregnant and she can't go to the restaurant, so I plan to let Aunt Ji go. She does it every day. It's most appropriate and saves money to let her go." I’m going to teach people again.”

Grandma Su frowned slightly, "She probably won't agree, right? There are still children at home, and where is her land?"

"So I plan to rent their land. This will make it much easier for her. She won't have to worry about the crops and setting up a stall at the same time. She won't have to take care of the land rent. After paying the tax, there will still be left over. More than half of it, it’s much more cost-effective than planting it all by herself.”

Su's father slapped his thigh and his eyes lit up, "This way, our family will have more land. I remember that their family also has a piece of land by the river. Her land is much larger than ours. Then we will have our own land." The area she owns is used to grow potatoes, and the area she owns can be used to grow peppers.”

Su's father became more and more excited as he talked, but then his smile froze, "It would be great if we could rent it, but I'm afraid she won't agree."

Su Ziling rubbed her nose, "What about that? I asked about it two days ago, and Aunt Ji said that as long as you agree, there will be no problem with her side. Once the peas are harvested, they will be sold directly to us, and we can take over. Planted.”

Grandma Su raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "You girl, you must have had an idea for a long time. Why don't you leave it here and kill it first?"

"Hehe!" Su Ziling chuckled twice, "Didn't I just ask Aunt Ji by the way the day I met her? The restaurant here is about to open. I have to make plans in advance. I can't just rush to find a chef. Bar?"

"I'll tell my grandpa when he comes back. I'm afraid that you guys will work too hard and won't be able to grow it."

Father Su waved his hand, "You can go back to your Aunt Ji when you have time now. They don't have much land at home. Most of them are next to our house, so it's convenient to plant. Besides, we still have cattle and people." There is a lot of land at their house, and our whole family can work it out in about three or four days. Is there anything we can’t grow?”

Su's father dared to say this because he had cows at home. The calf was well fed and it was a bull. He could start teaching plowing this year. With the two cows together, the plowing speed was much faster.

There is no need for them to dig with hoe after hoe. As long as the land is well cultivated, planting will be much faster. The only worry is harvesting the crops, which will probably take a little more effort.

Su Ziling looked at the sky and said, "You know, it's too late now. People might be making dinner."

Now that I'm here, if I meet someone eating, I'm going to ask them to stay for dinner.

"That's right." Su's father scratched his head, "It's not easy for them to be orphans and widowers. But if you let her go to the county, what will happen in the mountain col? Who will do it? And if she goes to the county, you can let her go to the county. The siblings have to follow, right?"

Su Ziling frowned. She originally wanted Ji Yunchu to go to the county, and since Ji Yunhe was still there to support her at the col, it would be no problem for her to find another aunt by then.

But hearing Su's father say this, she also felt that she had not thought it through well. In addition, Li Zelan would not be able to work there for long, and the restaurant was short of one or two people.

"Then I'll go ask the third uncle's mother-in-law's family which aunt is free. Then I'll have to find another waiter."

Hearing this change of personnel, Auntie Su frowned even deeper, "Why don't you let your third aunt and the others go to the county? First of all, Axiu has to go to the county. She is sure that none of your third uncle and aunt are here." I’m not used to it.”

"Secondly, it is convenient for your third aunt to give birth in the county, and the midwives in the county have better experience. You can ask your aunts who is available and help."

"Your third uncle and the others are used to it, so it saves you the trouble of finding a second waiter all over again."

After Su Ziling heard this, she gave a thumbs up to Nai Su, "Nai, it has to be you."

Su A'nai shook her head and said nothing. What she didn't say was that Su Ziling didn't expect such an arrangement. It was just that she felt sorry for her third aunt.

Concern leads to chaos.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the sun came out and the fog in the mountains dispersed.

Su Ziling went to take out the camellia saplings, and the whole family went up the mountain to plant the camellia trees.

It’s not just random planting. Their family also has their own mountain, which is very steep and has sparse trees, which is just suitable for her to plant camellia trees.

It had just rained and there was still a lot of moisture in the soil. They worked in pairs, one shoveling grass and digging holes, and the other planting.

When planting, I also put some manure in the pit, returned some soil, and then planted the camellia tree.

It was much faster to plant without watering. In one day, all the camellia trees were in the ground.

Just remember to come over and water and weed. You also need to fertilize and take good care of it. I think it will bear fruit in two to three years.

And this time her cuttings were quite successful. Most of them took root and sprouted, and only a few died.

She thought she would need to take another batch of cuttings, and it would be appropriate to plant them in February or March.

In a blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Su Zimu was going back to school and he had to take leave from the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

Early in the morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family got up and got busy, tidying up his clothes and bedding, and preparing some food for him.

It happened that restaurants were about to open, so Su Zimu followed Su Yongan and the others to the county.

Su Ziling didn't go with her. There were Qingjiu, Shiba, and third uncle, as well as Su Yongan and the second daughter-in-law of the third uncle's mother-in-law. There were so many people, and there wasn't enough for them to pick out.

When he left, Su's father went to deliver them. Su Ziling also reminded him to find two more ox carts. There were more things this time. Plus the third aunt, Axiu and Su Zimu, the three of them had to take the ox cart, but Can't go that far.

After arrangements are made here, stalls are also starting to be set up over there in the mountain col.

The workshop has been in operation for several days. With Su Yonghe watching, she didn't need to worry, so she started busy harvesting sweet potatoes.

They arrived at the mountain col with Su Zizhong and the others, where they set up a stall, while Su Ziling took Twenty to ask for sweet potatoes in other villages.

Twenty walked in front, turning back to talk to Su Ziling as he walked.

"Girl, hold on a little longer. We're almost there. There's a village in front of us. It's pretty big."

Su Ziling wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Why do you know so well? Have you been here before?"

Twenty grinned, "Didn't I have some free time during the Chinese New Year? I just walked around with Shiba."
