Little Ger, Slow Life in Another World

Knowing that the treats are not needed until one month later, Miao He concentrated on tossing the vegetable field.

Today's new vegetable field has grown in size by an unknown number of times, and the two re-planned it.In the two months since the house was built, the land had been prepared, but only half of it had been planted. At that time, there were people from the work class watching.

It's just that it's already August now, and it's too late to plant watermelons like Miao He's favorite food, otherwise others will easily find it weird.Therefore, most of the vegetables planted are still the dishes that were previously served in teahouses.

Nowadays, cucumbers, bitter gourds, eggplants, carobs, and radishes, which have a long growing season, are in good condition after being transplanted to new vegetable fields.The treasurer Jin was very happy, and he raised the price of the vegetables again in good faith.The total price for one month can reach about three taels of silver.

The raspberries, snakeberries and mulberries that were dug in the mountains before were all low bushes, and they were planted along the fence gate all the way to the gate of the courtyard.Mountain grapes and wild pomegranates were placed by the window outside the kitchen.These have naturally been replaced with good breeds.

Tansy is planted around the new house.When Yang Dalang went to a pharmacy to sell Codonopsis ginseng, he asked the shopkeeper for a recommendation.The smell of tansy is said to repel mosquitoes, rats and ants.The little yellow flowers that bloom are also cheerful.Miao He was very happy when he found out, and couldn't help but use the seeds he bought back, and immediately planted them by cheating.If someone asks, it can be said that it was dug from the mountain.

In addition to the vegetable fields, Miaohe also planted a section of mung beans, a section of peanuts, and a section of codonopsis and bellflower.

The flowers that can be used as medicine were brought back from the mountains. According to the previous experience of planting in the backyard, only platycodon grandiflorum is the best plant, and it can grow alive with normal fertilization. It looks good, so Miaohe chose it to continue planting.Codonopsis ginseng is cheap and can be used in vegetables. This is the first time that he does not rely entirely on the soil, but only uses fertilization to grow it.It is a test field.If it succeeds, it will also be a stable income in the future.

However, the fertilizer used by Miaohe still has the soil to help cheat.Now there are several times more vegetable fields that need to be fertilized, and the method of seedlings is also simple. Just throw a piece of soil under the plum tree next to the new house, and tear up their new green leaves for fertilizer.With the blessing of the soil ability, this method is still effective.

So after finishing the vegetable field, Miao He's attention also shifted to the plum tree.

At this time, the tree bears small plums with orange-red skin and yellow flesh, sweet and sour, not big plums with red flesh.But when Miao He saw it, he thought of pickled plums, and suddenly his mouth started to feel sour, and he wanted to eat it.

Miao He turned his head and squinted his eyes, "Let's go to the town! Buy some vats to pickle fruit, and you can also pickle fruit wine. I also want to make a deeper pot with a flat bottom. There are three stoves at home. But just a frying pan is not enough.”

Yang Dalang naturally agreed.Things that make my little brother happy are not wasted.

The two packed up and went to town.As soon as he arrived in town, Miao He took care of the most expensive things first.I ran to the blacksmith shop with Yang Dalang and asked, God, it costs nearly a tael of silver to make the pot that Miao He wanted, and the second one that can be used for barbecue, although the shape is different, is also the same price.

Before going out, they counted all the cash on hand, and there were only a little over six taels left.Although there are three taels of silver in the account every month, but one-third of the family property will be spent at once, and Miao He is a little bit overwhelmed.

"We'll order." Yang Dalang didn't hesitate.

After Miao He refused desperately, he failed, and finally ordered them all, but he did not forget the warning. "If you want to go hunting in the mountains again, you have to say it first."

Yang Dalang patted his little brother's head. "kindness."

After that, I bought sugar for pickled plums, and added oil and salt.There is interest in the soil, and after saving all the rice and flour, the family expenses are really low, and it is impossible to starve to death.But Miao He is just a young man who is used to saving money. If he doesn't have cash at hand, something is wrong.

On the return journey, because they bought a lot of tanks and it was difficult to carry them, the two chose to take Uncle Ma's donkey cart back.In the car, it is inevitable to run into people returning to the village.

It happened that Aunt Yu was also there, so she asked, "Isn't this Da Lang and Brother He? Why, come out to buy a tank? Is the new house ready? When are you going to have a hot pot meal?"

Miao He said politely, "I have to wait for a while. The family is short of everything now."

Aunt Yu quite agreed, "That's right. I just finished the new house, so it must be hard work. But I will live in the new house from now on, so I should be happy! I haven't seen you recently, and I'm afraid you are busy with the new house. You don't know, your family That piece of land was bought by Miao Li, and Miao Li finally used it to build a house!"

Miao He glanced at Yang Dalang, "Ah? That's right, don't you talk about planting soybeans? Dalang helped demolish the house."

Aunt Yu thought there was something wrong with Miao Li's family at the beginning, but now that the follow-up development is not right, she pays more attention to it.

She shook her head authoritatively, "Who knows why Miao Li bought the land in the first place? Aunt Li was crying because of that house when you left that day. But now there is a lot of movement on the house above, as if they were afraid that others would laugh at them. The old house, the newly built house has one big room. There is hardly any land left to grow soybeans."

Miao He let out a hey from the bottom of his heart. "Then what about the village chief, isn't the workshop in a hurry for soybeans?"

Aunt Yu gloated, "What else can I do? He is not a human being because of this matter. He praised Miao Li's family for supporting soybean planting, but when he turned around, everyone took it to build a house! I don't know how many people Laughing about it behind your back."

Aunt Yu didn't know that Miao Gui, the elder nephew of the village chief, couldn't enter the workshop because of this.The busy village head is busy now!

So how can the village head feel comfortable?He always feels that the work on his side is done, and the task is considered complete.Even if Yang Dalang leveled the house, Miao Li's family could still get the same piece of land.If it wasn't for Aunt Li's crying scene, Miao Min would still be able to ask Brother He to climb up to Liang's house in the future.As a result, the bad things that Aunt Li did were all blamed on her in the end, and she even lost her face!

The village chief found it difficult to accept this logic, and said to Miao Jue with a somewhat ugly expression, "Mr. Miao, this is different from what we said at the beginning."

Miao Jue didn't know what to do in his heart, so he just sighed in embarrassment, "Oh, no matter what else, but Miao XX agreed to do so in order to increase business after this incident. Now... please don't be impatient, the village chief. , if the scale of the workshop can be expanded in the future, there will definitely be opportunities for Miao Gui."

The village chief...does the village chief dare to tear himself apart?

The only thing he can do is to hide from Yang Dalang recently.

Miao He didn't know about the above, and felt that it was none of his business.He just chatted with Aunt Yu to pass the time.

When I got home, I first hung the cowbells I bought at the blacksmith's shop on the frame that Yang Dalang had built in advance, right by the gate of the fence.After simply pulling the rope, the homemade doorbell is complete.

Since the courtyard house was built in the middle of the wasteland, there was still some distance from the fence they built first.It is not easy to move the fence inward, and vegetables are planted around it.Miao He made this thing in order to avoid hearing the knocking outside the door.

But this is only temporary. Yang Dalang said that he will go to the village old Liu, who is also a hunter and has a very smart dog.I don’t know if this dog has paparazzi, but I asked another day. If you buy one or two, the barking sound of the dog can replace the doorbell.

Miao He expressed doubts in his heart.The Dabai that Yang Dalang brought back to catch mice last time, look at it now, can only roll around on the cat climbing frame. (Dabai rolling: ???)

After fixing the doorbell, Miao He excitedly made pickled plums and plum wine.

First of all, you have to wash the tank you bought back.It must be scalded several times with boiling water to wash thoroughly.They bought two sets of large, medium and small tanks, for a total of six.Yang Dalang wouldn't let Miao He do such a dangerous job, and drove him directly to the tree to use the soil to pick up the fruit.

All these troubles are troublesome, Yang Dalang loves to see Miao He like this.It seems that it is easy to have a good mood, and it is easy to be interested in the little things in life.The originally unchanging life suddenly has many details, flavors and colors.Thinking of this, Yang Dalang sped up his movements again.

Miao He, who was in charge of harvesting the fruits on the other end, threw the soil under the plum tree, and hurriedly harvested a batch of hard and crunchy fruits, which were suitable for making pickled plums.After harvesting, the regrown plums are nourished by the soil for a longer period of time, and the riper plums with high sweetness are suitable for wine making.

After harvesting a large basket of two kinds of plums, the plums are washed with water and dried in the atrium.About half an afternoon, the water on the peel is completely dry.At this time, Yang Dalang also washed and dried the six vats.

The latter part is simpler. For plum wine, just put the plums and sugar into the tank, and seal it with oilcloth.When the sealing tarpaulin bulges slightly, a small opening allows the fermented gas inside to come out, and so on.You can drink it in about a month, and the taste will be better in the first half of the year.

Pickled plums are even faster.Use a knife to cut a cross on each plum, so that the skin is broken and tasty, and then mixed with ginger powder and sugar in the tank, and after a day, there will be sweet and sour pickled plums to eat.

Six cylinders.Four larger ones are used to make wine, and two small ones are used to pickle plums.

After breakfast the next day, I saw Miao He holding a small vat of pickled plums, his eyes narrowed as he ate.

The plums produced in Xiyang have a strong fruity aroma, crisp flesh, and nothing but sweetness. Even if it is sour, the sour taste is particularly refreshing and lively, complemented by just the right astringency of the peel, and a little spicy ginger on the tip of the tongue. , only one bite, all very layered!

The little black cat meowed pitifully at Miao He's feet.But no, cats can't eat plums.Miao He has a colleague who owns cats. He posts cats in the office every day, and then says that he can’t eat cats, and he decides not to eat them in his life.

Seeing Yang Dalang approaching, Miao He twitched a grain and stuffed it into his mouth. "It's delicious."

Sour, but really tasty. "En. Going out today, hunting."

"Today?" Miao He stared slightly.And so suddenly! ?

There is no need to deliver food and cakes for the next few days, so Yang Dalang planned to do so when he had this free time.Touch the little brother's bulging cheek with the plum core in his mouth.The portrait seems to be fatter and whiter, which is very good.

"About three days, come back soon."

Miao He hurriedly put down the pickled plums, "Then wait a minute and I'll bring you ginseng slices, I must bring them this time! Also, after ordering and buying the pot yesterday, why don't you choose some better hunting gear by the way!! "

When I see people, I get busy again like a spinning top.Take ginseng slices for a while, and boil water for a while, saying not to drink raw water outside.At the same time, the dough was mixed to make cakes.He also looked at the hunting gear that Yang Dalang was carrying, and after a long busy time, he sent Yang Dalang to the door.

Yang Dalang finally couldn't bear it anymore, bowed his head and put him in his arms, and kissed him vigorously.The taste of sweet and sour tasted in his mouth, just like his heart. "If there is a door call, everyone will ignore it except for the second aunt."

Miao He was dizzy, her face was red and her mouth was also red. "You, you are also careful."

"kindness."

But Yang Dalang who left behind this word seems to have taken away Miao He's good mood.

Miao He lay down on the wooden floor of the main room for a while, losing interest in the pickled plums that he ate happily just now.Dabai thought that people were playing with it, so he kept throwing himself on Miao He with great interest.

But Yang Dalang has worked hard outside, and he can't be lazy.Miao He forced himself to get up, and went around the vegetable field again.

The progress of fruit trees has slowed down a lot after the vegetable fields are fully planted.Miao He tried to imitate Yang Dalang and chose a tree to dig the roots, but he was out of breath after a few strokes, and the tree was still stable, so he had to give up.Fortunately, they have planted more than [-] fruit trees so far, including peaches, plums, pears, plums, persimmons, and chestnuts, which is quite a lot.When vegetables cannot be grown in winter, they can concentrate on this area.

There was no place to attack the fruit trees, so Miaohe had no choice but to dig the soil.Rice, wheat, and mung beans are now a fixed consumption.Miao He will save some whenever he is free, anyway, they will be put away after drying.

After that, Miao He went to Aunt Yang's house, brought pickled plums there, and exchanged half a basket of eggs.Thinking about helping Liang Yuanwai, shopkeeper Jin and Doctor Ji, oh, and Li Ming, they pickled plums.There were not enough porcelain jars, so Miao He went to the town to buy a few more small ones.When the food is delivered in a few days, it can be delivered together.

The fruit of summer is actually peaches.But this year's ones are all planted in the soil, and the quality is too high, so Miao He dare not just take them out and give them away.Have to wait until next year.

As for the food for the family, Miao He didn't hold back and picked up the boss's basket of peaches.The peaches are sweet and juicy, and the flesh is soft and tender. It is not as exciting as pickled plums. One can still be half full.It happened that Yang Dalang was not around, he was not in the mood to make a meal, so the three meals were dealt with indiscriminately like this.

So three days later, Miao He was unlucky.

When Yang Dalang came back that day, Miao He was staying under the tree to snatch mung beans.When he heard the movement, Yang Dalang had almost come to the front.

Seeing that the man returned home safely, Miao He was naturally very happy, patted the dirt on his hands, and suddenly wanted to stand up to welcome him.

But then came a burst of dizziness!He hurriedly supported the tree trunk beside him so that he didn't fall over.

Yang Dalang's originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious!

A burst of tension and questioning ensued.Miao He rubbed his nose, and the trick was that he was eating indiscriminately.

This time Yang Dalang didn't let anyone go, and insisted on inviting Uncle Lin over.

And after looking at the people, Uncle Lin didn't have time to praise the new house with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Brother He. You're lucky, it's been almost three months."
