talk about wine

After it rained, the water in the field became deep, and if there was too much water, the grain seeds would be damaged, so the two dug a small hole in the paddy field to release the excess water.

The ridges made of silt were a little messy after being washed by the rain, and they needed to be raised again.

After tidying up, Meng Chuxi looked at the ditch next to the paddy field and searched carefully along the ridge.Zhou Qingwu was a little curious, and followed up to have a look: What are you looking for?

Meng Chuxi pointed to the paddy fields and said, "There are a lot of crabs this season, and they like to dig holes in the fields. If they don't clean them up, the water will leak out when the weather clears."

As soon as the words fell, a crab was seen swimming past the muddy water in the field. Zhou Qing covered his eyes and opened his eyes wide, pointing at the crab and whining.Meng Chuxi laughed: "I saw it, Qingwu don't worry."

Meng Chuxi walked to the place where the crab disappeared, where the muddy water hadn't dissipated.She probed into the mud with a rake and picked it up quickly. The crab was immediately lifted from the field and fell to the ground, struggling to get up.

Wuwu also saw it and yelled and rushed over, screaming at the crab.The crab was stunned by it, and didn't know how to run away for a while, vigilantly holding up two large pincers ready to go.

The whining sound became sharp, this was the first time it had seen such a thing, and it stretched out its small claws to fiddle with the poor crab quickly.

Meng Chuxi hurriedly stopped: "Woo, be careful that it pinches you..."

"Aw, ow." As soon as the words were said, the scream of Wuwu came over, and it rolled on the ground and kicked its front legs, and managed to shake off the crab.Meng Chuxi quickly stepped forward to hold the crab down.At this time, the crab was not big and didn't have much meat. Meng Chuxi didn't plan to keep it, lest it harm the crops.

Over there, woo woo scrambled and ran towards Zhou Qingwu, rubbing against her feet and screaming was a sad one.

Zhou Qingwu felt distressed and funny at the same time, looking at the little thing that was covered in muddy water, he quickly took a look at the little paw that Wuwu was holding up, but fortunately there was no bleeding.Zhou Qingwu stretched out his hand to gently rub it for it. It must have been in great pain. It screamed more and more, but it was so obedient that it didn't attack Zhou Qingwu.

"Others say that dogs meddle in their own business with mice, but today you took crabs and told you to be naughty. You're at a disadvantage now." Meng Chuxi squatted down and showed it, touched it and coaxed it: "Okay, okay , no more pain."

The closer a dog is to people, the more human it is. Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu treat it very well, and they will often teach it to do some commands. The little guy understands the owner's meaning very well.After being coaxed by two people, although it was still painful, at any rate, he no longer screamed miserably, but he followed behind with his head drooping like he had lost a battle, and he no longer had the vivacity he had before.

Meng Chuxi looked amused: "I want it to suffer, otherwise I will catch whatever I catch in the future. There are some things outside that are not like our chickens, so let it play."

Zhou Qingwu pursed his lips and chuckled: You are like raising a child.

Meng Chuxi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly, Wuwu who was behind heard them talking and looked up at them.

The little guy has grown a lot, and he looks round and cute, but when it comes to raising children, she glanced at Zhou Qingwu, and there was no way anyone could make her get used to it.But when he thought about what happened yesterday, he secretly felt that this little girl had grown up.

Zhou Qingwu didn't know the twists and turns in her stomach, otherwise she would have to fight against it.

The grain seeds in the field grew well, and almost all sprouted when they were accelerated. After about six or seven days, they basically took root, and the original yellow-white shoots began to appear green.With the scarecrow made by Meng Chuxi and the repelling device, coupled with the diligence of the two, the grain seeds were not caught by the birds, and the first step was considered a success.

For the first time, Meng Chuxi, who devoted himself to work, looked at the seedling field, and finally understood the joy that his grandfather felt when he watched the seedlings and rice grow well in the field.

The Chinese toon picked in the morning becomes a delicious dish in the evening. Fried eggs with Chinese toon are the favorite mountain delicacies of the villagers in Zhoujia Village in spring.

This bunch of purple Chinese toon sprouts become brighter after being blanched in water. The unique fragrance of Chinese toon is stimulated in hot water, and it is especially rich after being chopped.

Zhou Qingwu couldn't help sniffing, Meng Chuxi glanced up at her, and said with a smile, "It will be fine soon."

The chopped Chinese toon sprouts are put into the beaten egg liquid and stirred well. The hot oil sizzled in the pot. After the egg liquid was poured in, there was a long sizzling sound, and the aroma of the egg was immediately forced out by the hot oil.The eggs are shaped together with the chopped Chinese toon, and the golden yellow and green are evenly mixed to form an egg cake in the pan.

There are still some bubbles that have not solidified, and the unique fragrance given by the Chinese toon in the pot will become stronger every time it is shaken.Meng Chuxi took the spatula and turned it neatly along the edge, separating the eggs from the bottom of the pot.With a flick of Meng Chuxi's wrist, a beautiful round cake was completely turned over without destroying the shape.

On the other hand, the eggs were golden and slightly burnt, which was just right. They had been seasoned with salt before, so Meng Chuxi didn't fry them too much, and the whole egg came out of the pan immediately.

Zhou Qingwu was amazed and compared his thumbs: It's amazing, so beautiful!

It is not difficult to fry eggs, but it is not easy to make them look so beautiful.

Meng Chuxi smiled complacently and continued cooking.Meals for two people don't need to be complicated, a pot of Chinese toon omelette and a serving of vegetarian fried cabbage are enough.

The egg was cut into small pieces by Meng Chuxi with a knife, and she took two pieces and handed them to Zhou Qingwu, she could tell that the little girl liked this very much.

This dish is golden and emerald green, very beautiful, and the toon flavor is strong, and the taste is clear in the mouth. As you chew, the more you eat, the more delicious it is. It is more delicious than I remembered.

Zhou Qingwu raised his head and pursed his lips and smiled at Meng Chuxi who was looking at him. He also brought some food for her, and continued to eat with his head buried.

This reaction means that I like it. Meng Chuxi has already tasted a piece and is very satisfied.The seasonal vegetables in the countryside are really a gift from nature, and the taste is much better than the ones she bought in later generations.

Spring is always busy, but the two of them don't take care of the two-acre field much. After the farm work is over, the two of them mostly return to their old jobs, picking herbs and mushrooms.In the past three months of spring, I have saved another sum of money, and the small silver box is full again.

Rapeseed flowers are basically in bloom this season, the apricot and peach trees in the village are competing for beauty, and the wild peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains are almost in bloom. They look white like clouds and pink like clouds, steaming clouds and mist. Surrounded by mountains and forests, not to mention how beautiful it is.

There are a few apricot trees in almost every household in Zhoujia Village. The terrain of Zhoujia Village is not low-lying, but spirals down layer by layer, like terraced fields. Looking at it this way, the whole village is dotted with white apricot flowers. It really looks like Xanadu.

When the flowers came out, there were more bees. In this season, there were many wild bee swarms searching for places to build their nests, and they often flew over like dark clouds. This reminded Meng Chuxi of the scene where his grandfather harvested bees in that world.

She was afraid of these things, because when she was a child, she often bumped into bees by mistake and was stung terribly. Thinking about the sharp sting, she felt terrified.But honey is a good thing, and beekeeping is basically a steady profit.

On this day, another swarm of bees buzzed past. Meng Chuxi greeted Zhou Qingwu and chased them all the way with their humming. This swarm of bees flew not far away, and after circling on the mountain dam, they began to gather on it one by one. On the root of an old tree, there will be a cluster after a while.The bees hovering in the air are still gathering upwards continuously, and the buzzing sound is endless, making it extremely lively.

It was a rare opportunity. After confirming the location, she went home and prepared things to collect bees.The method is very simple, mix the sugar and wine together and sprinkle them into the basket, the sweetness and the smell of the wine will come out together, which can attract them to eat.

Zhou Qingwu was no stranger to Meng Chuxi's strange skills, so he went there with her.

I happened to meet Liu's sister-in-law who was going out to do farm work, and seeing the two of them squatting there, I couldn't help being curious: "Chuxi, Qingwu, what are you doing?"

She went over to take a look, and said, "This is for raising honey. Do you know the queen bee? The queen bee didn't go in, so it's useless to poke it in."

Knowing her kindness, Meng Chuxi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Xie Liu reminded me, I know."

Harvesting honey requires patience. The baskets are placed on top of bowls filled with sugar and wine. Honey slowly flies into the baskets, but there are still many coils outside that start to stir.I don't know how long it took, but most of the bees have finally gone in. Meng Chuxi took a closer look, and the queen bee should have gone in the big swarm inside.

While waiting, she held a clean wooden board and turned the basket upside down. There was a vibrating vibration inside, and the two of them stopped in shock.

After tossing for a long time, this cage of bees finally moved back home. The honey nest should be placed next to the window, and a small opening should be opened with chopsticks, so that the bees can go in and out to collect nectar, but it should not be too large to prevent other wild bees from coming in and stealing honey. , Hurt bees.There is just a small window in the attic of the house, which can house bees.

Seeing the bees calm down, Zhou Qingwu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, a little happy: It's really possible.

There are also people who keep bees in the village, but only the head of the village has two cages of honey, and other families occasionally meet them but they always fly away halfway.There are very few people who can drink their own honey.Also on the mountain, sometimes wild bees can be encountered and a few pieces of honey can be collected. It can be said that honey is a rare thing.

"The flowers are blooming well now. There is a lot of nectar around here. Don't worry about them not being able to get honey. Just look more and don't let the bumblebees scare them away." Meng Chuxi wiped the sweat off her face, and was also a little happy.

Zhou Qingwu looked at the first honey that flew out of the window, his eyes were full of smiles, and he stretched out his hand and gestured slowly: There are silkworms, bees, humming, and chickens at home, and there is a field and vegetable garden, it is really like a dream .

Seeing the undisguised happiness and satisfaction in her eyes, Meng Chuxi smiled, and then pretended to be dissatisfied: "You forgot the most important thing."

Zhou Qingwu was taken aback for a moment, thought about it carefully, then looked at Meng Chuxi's expression, and suddenly realized, but his face blushed uncontrollably again, and it took him a while to make gestures: different, they belong to the family, and you are the one Home.

This was Meng Chuxi's unexpected answer. She looked at Zhou Qingwu in a daze, her expression was extremely complicated for a while, the indescribable feeling in her heart made her heart prickly, and there was also some numbness, the so-called mixed flavors. Chen is the portrayal of her at this moment.

It took a long time for her to recover, and instead of turning her head to suppress the sudden soreness, she smiled and said reluctantly: "How can you be so good at coaxing people, it makes me happy but not in a good way."

Seeing her slightly red eyes, Zhou Qingwu was at a loss. She took a step forward and stopped again, frantically gesticulating: I'm not coaxing you, it's my fault, I shouldn't say it, don't feel bad.

Meng Chuxi shook her head, and reached out to touch the little girl: "It's not uncomfortable, it's because you are so sweet, why are you so talkative."

Zhou Qingwu was touched on the head by her again, and was called sweet by her, and his face blushed uncontrollably.But she felt that Meng Chuxi couldn't touch her head anymore, it seemed too childish.In fact, she has already reached Meng Chuxi's chin. In a year or two, she will definitely grow to be about the same height as her.

So she straightened her expression and gestured: I have grown taller, and I am already 16 years old, so I can no longer touch my head.

The little girl was very serious, looking at her with her eyes as if she must get a promise.Meng Chuxi was amused by her, and then she pretended to think seriously, and nodded seriously: "Well, what Qingwu said is right, if you always touch your head, you won't grow tall, so let's rub it."

After that, she held her round and tender cheeks with both hands, squeezed together and rubbed them again and again.Zhou Qingwu had already given up resisting, but this childish person was having a great time playing. There was a warm teasing smile in his warm eyes, as if the word "cute" was written on his eyelashes.

But even though he was helpless, Zhou Qingwu was still thankful that he had something she liked, which made her feel happy, and she was very satisfied.Those inexplicable feelings in her heart began to be stimulated on that New Year's Eve. It was hazy, but it also made Zhou Qingwu realize that something was wrong. It's just that she didn't want to explore too much. She was afraid that it would ruin the simple happiness of the two of them in the end. .

All she knew was that she wanted to stay with Meng Chuxi like this forever, until she didn't need it anymore.

People in the village still discuss the lively affairs in the village by the river in the field from time to time, and Mrs. Zhu knew that Mrs. Lin had always disliked Zhou Qingwu, so she said in a serious manner: "Don't mention it, that girl of the Zhou family is living a good life now. Yes, the fields at home are growing well, and today I collected a cage of bees, and I heard that they also raised silkworms. The Meng girl she picked up is really good at tossing."

There was no lack of envy in the words, and Lin snorted lightly: "Turn it on, sooner or later it will be over. Silkworm rearing is so easy to raise? It takes time and effort and eventually loses everything. Don't look at a cage of honey, I don't know how long it can be kept. .The snakehead mushroom is poisonous, and she asked the mute to pick it up. If she ate the poison and died, it would be really, tsk tsk."

Mrs. Zhu was also taken aback when she heard this: "Eating snakehead mushrooms, they dare to pick up that scary-looking thing. Didn't you tell them?"

Lin's complexion changed, he faltered a few times, his eyes widened and he said harshly, "Why didn't I say that, others think I'm troublesome, maybe I'm afraid we will rob it?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhu shook her head: "You fool, don't hurt that girl."

Lin was washing her clothes and glanced at the well-kept yard. The hibiscus flower branches planted there had green leaves, apparently already alive.Still can't stop muttering: "I don't do business all day, I thought I found a treasure, and I didn't honestly guard an acre of land, and some of them will cry in the future."

Several women who were washing clothes together shook their heads and smiled.Mrs. Lin has a lot of grudges against the Zhou family.
