Plant peaches with uncle

Because of the variety problem, the density of planting among large groups of honeydew is very low, about 40 trees are planted per mu, and the land between peach trees is mostly empty. If the harvest is good this year and the fruit is delicious, Su Ruoyan decides to continue planting ; If it doesn't taste good, the fruit trees will be phased out and other varieties will be planted.

It was a pity for Su Ruoyan to see that so many lands were empty, so after asking the third grandfather, he planted some vegetables without affecting the growth and development of the peach trees.Under the maintenance of Lingquan water, the vegetables grow very well, especially the small green vegetables. If you sprinkle the seeds, you don’t need to worry about them. They will germinate and grow leaves in three or four days. They will grow new and tender in about a week, and they can be eaten half a palm high. , also known as chicken feathers, is best used to make soup.There are also some others, such as lettuce, water spinach, lettuce, etc., which are very popular.

Even Taoyuan’s hired workers will buy some to cook at home when they go home, because the taste is so good, even better than freshly picked ones in their own yards.

"Xiaoyan, we all like to eat your food, but we don't have enough of it. Every time we make it, we are the first to grab it. Soup with vermicelli and green cabbage balls has become a necessary soup every day. If you think it's suitable, you can eat it." Increase production, and I will pay you as many vegetables as you want every day, and you will be satisfied with the price.” The master chef who came to buy vegetables from the engineering team is called Brother Cai, and the middle-aged bald man with a beer belly comes to pick vegetables in person every day , he has very high requirements for the quality of the dishes, and he does the daily purchases by himself, and he is very picky.But he was very satisfied with the dishes of Su Ruoyan's family. After making it for the first time, he locked in Taoyuan dishes, but worried that the output of Taoyuan vegetables was too low to meet the consumption of the entire engineering team.

"It is certain that the vegetables in my family are good. Once you eat them, you will never forget them. I also want to increase the yield, but my peach orchard is only so big. If there are more vegetables, it will affect the growth of the fruit trees. I can't contract other places. , now the village is owned by the company except for our private land, and I don’t even want to contract it to grow vegetables.” Su Ruoyan made a helpless gesture, “There’s nothing I can do.”

"Really!" Brother Cai couldn't help but patted his thigh, pulled up his pants and squatted on the ridge of the field, grabbed a grass stalk and put it in his mouth, "Actually, you can discuss it with the company. After the resort opens, you will definitely need all kinds of vegetables. , It’s better to be cheaper than others, you are a relative of the big boss.”

"No!" Su Ruoyan quickly denied, "Uncle Qin is my grandfather's student, not a relative, not related by blood."

"It doesn't matter if there is no blood relationship. Anyway, if you call him uncle, there is nothing wrong with him buying the vegetables you grow. My juniors will always take care of them. Taolin Village is such a big place, not every piece of land is used by resorts. , you can contract an acre or two to grow vegetables, and when the weather is cold, you can use the greenhouse to sell fresh green leafy vegetables all year round, which is not very good." Seeing that Su Ruoyan was likable, Brother Cai couldn't help but say more Two sentences, show him the way.Peaches are only harvested for a long time a year, only one or two months. You can't make a fortune just by selling peaches.

Su Ruoyan, who was squatting next to Brother Cai, thought about it, and it was the same reason. "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Cai, when will I ask. By the way, Brother Cai, the shepherd's purse I planted in another place is almost edible. Would you like to go and have a look? It's delicious for making shepherd's purse dumplings. , as both food and food, saving a lot of things.”

"Hey, you kid is still hiding something. If I didn't tell you that just now, why don't you just tell me the shepherd's purse?" Brother Cai has a big belly, and it took a lot of effort to stand up. If it wasn't for Su Ruoyan's help Forget it, I'm about to lose my balance and fall.

"This is wronging me. I just didn't think of it for a while."

"Haha, you kid didn't think of it, how many people lost their food."

Shepherd's purse grows by sowing some seeds on the edge of the peach orchard. This is a wild vegetable, and there is no need to sow the seeds manually. When the season comes, many mountains and plains will grow.Wild shepherd's purse has a strong taste, and many people who eat it for the first time don't like it. After artificial cultivation, the taste will be slightly weakened, but it will not lose the slightest deliciousness.

Su Ruoyan’s shepherd’s purse belongs to the semi-wild kind. It is artificially grown and raised in the sky. It is not taken care of specially, but it grows exceptionally well. Brother Cai directly grabbed a leaf and put it in his mouth, tasting it carefully. After a while, he gave Su Ruoyan a thumbs up, "Okay, I'll let someone come over to pick vegetables, this kind of food is still too little, that is, it can make twenty or thirty catties, blanch, chop and mince meat Let's make dumplings together, barely enough for everyone to taste something new, today they are lucky."

"Brother Cai is also good at craftsmanship. Brother Cai, let's calculate according to the market price. Call me when you choose, and I'll come and count the money."

"Hey, what are young people in a hurry to do? There are so many people in the field who are not short of you, an unskilled one." Brother Cai called to Su Ruoyan who was putting on his hat and going to pollinate manually.

Su Ruoyan really couldn't refute it. It's true that he is not a skilled worker, and because of his personality, he is meticulous and thoughtful in doing things. He has finished two or three trees, but he is still entangled in one tree. He is the boss, such an efficient worker has already been kicked out. "Brother Cai, it's the first time I've done it, and I've become proficient after doing it a few times."

"Taoyuan is here, you have a chance to practice." Brother Cai put his arms around Su Ruoyan's shoulders, and the two brothers pulled him aside, and asked Su Ruoyan in a low voice, "Xiaoyan, do you know that Mr. Qin is getting married? matter?"

Su Ruoyan's heart skipped a beat, and she forced a smile, "Didn't you say you were engaged, why did you become married?"

"I heard from them that we get married in summer, because the bride has to wear a beautiful wedding dress." Brother Cai spoke convincingly, as if he had seen Qin Chengyu's wedding invitation, with a firm tone that would not let anyone people questioned.

"Oh." Su Ruoyan lowered his eyes, feeling unspeakable frustration in his heart.

Brother Cai is nervous, and Su Ruoyan's pot head and black-framed mirror are the best way to cover up his emotions, so he didn't see anything wrong with Su Ruoyan, "Isn't it because he's in good spirits on happy occasions?" Brother Cai and me I just want to ask you about what kind of food Mr. Qin likes, so I will make it for him, maybe he will reward me with a bite of food if he is happy. It is too tiring to run with the engineering team, and I am also a person in my 40s, thinking about it After the resort is completed, I will be a cook here, haha."

"So I'm back." Su Ruoyan murmured, and he pushed his glasses, "Brother Cai, he's not my relative, I really don't know him well, so I just call him uncle, it doesn't matter, I don't know what he likes to eat .”

"Really unfamiliar?" Brother Cai was suspicious, so why did Mr. Qin's secretary ask everyone to take care of Su Ruoyan.

"I've only met three or four times, so go there to get familiar with it." Su Ruoyan was also helpless. Calling uncle did not necessarily mean relatives or acquaintances. When he saw a policeman on duty, he would call him uncle.

"Okay." This time it was Cai's turn to be disappointed, "Then I'll ask other people, I'm the best at cooking Sichuan cuisine, and Maoxuewang's cooking is really good, Xiaoyan must try my cooking if I have a chance. "

"Okay, I also like spicy food."

Su Ruoyan cheered up and dealt with Brother Cai, and when he sent him away, he called Zhang Qiang, a hired worker from Taoyuan, and asked him to watch in the Taoyuan. If there was anything to call him, he said hello to Third Grandpa. I picked a bag of tender shepherd's purse by myself, and went home to make wontons and stew.

When he is in a bad mood, cooking a bowl of delicious food for himself is the most healing. The old house is still under construction, so he is staying at the third grandpa's house for the time being, and the third grandma is in the house.Aunt Ming and Zhang Qiang's wife are responsible for cooking for the workers in Taoyuan. Apart from helping Su Ruoyan, Uncle Ming also has other things to do. The third grandma is always at home.

When Su Ruoyan entered the yard, the third grandmother was wearing reading glasses, holding a needle, pinching the end of the thread, and threading it in front of the sun.

"Third Grandma, I'll wear the thread."

"Xiaoyan is back, it's almost noon, I'll make you lunch."

"Third grandma, don't be too busy. We will make wonton stew for lunch. The shepherd's purse in Taoyuan is edible. I picked some back and added meat to make big wontons stuffed with shepherd's purse." Su Ruoyan gave the shepherd's purse in the bamboo basket to the third Look, grandma, Brother Cai is really ruthless in his work. He cleared up all the shepherd's purse fields he could see, and dug up all the edible ones. Su Ruoyan suddenly remembered that some seeds had been sown in another place in the basket of shepherd's purse. It is also time to eat.

The third grandma took out a handful of shepherd's purse and looked at it, "It's very fresh shepherd's purse. It's good for making dumplings. After I order the buttons, I'll come to choose the vegetables. Xiaoyan, you can make noodles, and I'll make wontons for lunch."

"Yeah, the ones that can't be eaten are frozen in the refrigerator, and you can eat them when Uncle Ming comes back at night."

"Xiaoyan is so nice, she always thinks about us."

"Because you are all so kind to me." Su Ruoyan smiled to make the third grandma happy, took the needle and thread, and used scissors to cut off the fluffed and forked ends of the thread, aiming at the eye of the needle, and passed it through as soon as it was threaded. "Third Grandma here, I'm ready."

"It's a young man after all, just get it done." The third grandma took it and buttoned it against the light.

Su Ruoyan went to knead the noodles while the third grandma was knitting the buttons. The flour at the third grandpa's house was made from wheat grown by himself. The color was not as white as the ones sold in the market, but the taste was more fragrant, and it tasted more palatable and delicious. The gluten, good flour can be felt when kneading the noodles. The texture, water absorption, and smell all make Su Ruoyan, who has emptied his brain, feel calm.

When encountering unpleasant things, Su Ruoyan likes to make some food, not focusing on the result of "eating", but more on the process of "doing", because in the process of cooking, many troubles can be left behind back.

But obviously, today's troubles came one after another.

The mobile phone next to the chopping board rang, and the click showed that it was "Dad".
