Portable Space: Dressing Up as a Little Brother

Xiao Yu'er and Father brought Lin Zhengze into the vegetable garden.

As soon as they entered, they saw a lush scene. Compared with the bleak autumn nearby, the place was still full of vitality.I only saw that the vegetable garden was divided into several large pieces, and each piece was divided into a plot, and each plot was full of various vegetables.The first thing you see is the red tomatoes, most of which are plump and round.It looks very attractive.Seeing him looking at the tomatoes, Xiao Yu'er went up to pick some and put them in a vegetable basket.He said to Lin Zhengze: "Young master, our tomatoes are not only delicious for cooking, but also taste good when eaten raw. They are sweet and sour, and I often eat them like fruits. Would you like to try it? If If you want, wash a few and bring them here, and the cucumbers in front of you can also be eaten raw, they taste just as good, should I even pick some cucumbers?"

Lin Zhengze looked at Xiao Yu'er with a smile, and said in a gentle voice: "You are all welcome. My name is Lin, and my name is Lin Zhengze. I am upright and righteous. You can call me by my name. I am 15 years old, and it is no big deal. How much are you? Calling your name doesn’t seem alienating. Can I call you Xiao Yu’er?” After hearing this, Xiao Yu’er thought to himself, aren’t you a customer?Be polite, of course.As for the matter of not being much older, there are still some people who are 5 years older! !Of course Lin Zhengze didn't know that Xiao Yu'er was slandering him in his heart.He continued: "Yes, I am very appetizing when I see your tomatoes. I really want to taste the taste of raw ones. You can also have two cucumbers as you mentioned."

Xiao Yu'er quickly agreed and said, "Okay, that's what everyone calls me. Young master..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Lin Zhengze looking at him with a half-smile.Xiao Yuer quickly changed his words and said: "Uh, that, Lin Zhengze, then you and my father will watch first, and I will go pick some cucumbers and wash them together." Seeing Lin Zhengze nodded, Xiao Yuer said Holding the vegetable basket to pick cucumbers.

After seeing Xiao Yu'er leave, Lin Zhengze continued to look at the vegetable garden under the leadership of Shen Daniu.After walking through a few rows of tomatoes, I came to the place where spinach was planted next to it.Shen Daniu introduced: "This piece is spinach. In the past, the vegetables grown in our family were only enough for a few people in the family. Even when they grew well, they would not be as much as they are now. This vegetable garden is basically small now. Yu'er is in charge, and his family will only help him occasionally when he is too busy. Our little Yu'er still has some ideas in this regard. When he was 7 years old, he made a fuss about growing his own vegetables. It's just that When I saw that he was still young, I gave him a small piece of land to grow it for fun. I didn’t expect him to be able to grow it well. Later, I saw that he planted it really well. Not only did it grow better, but the taste was never tasted Delicious. The family is relieved to hand over the vegetable garden to him when he turns 10."

Lin Zhengze was observing the vegetable field while listening to Shen Daniu with great interest.Hearing that Xiao Yuer has shown talent in growing vegetables at such a young age, he continued to ask with great interest: "Your Xiao Yuer is really a very capable little brother, and he is also well-behaved."

Shen Daniu saw that this young master had no airs at all, and he always had a smile on his face when talking to him.And he doesn't look very old, just now I heard that he was only 15 years old, and I found that he is really the same age as my family.Talking is not as restrained as the first time we met, and it is much more natural.Of course, the result of such relaxation was that he got closer to Lin Zhengze and talked more.Hearing Lin Zhengze talk about Xiao Yu'er, it really touched his heart.All of a sudden, he talked about many things about Xiao Yuer from childhood to adulthood.

Shen Daniu said: "My Xiaoyuer has been very well-behaved since he was a child, and he never made trouble. When he was very young, he seldom cried. Before he could speak, he often woke up during the day and went to bed at night just like us. Yes. Even if he wakes up in the middle of the night, if he is not hungry, he will play with himself and not cry. He also has a very regular time for drinking milk and changing diapers at night. My father and I only need to wake up at the same time as him Come and take care of him so he can sleep through the night."

"As we grow up, we will worry less. Xiao Yu'er was chubby when he was young, and he liked to laugh very much. People who met him liked him very much, and most of them praised him for being good-looking and cute." Lin Zhengze listened After hearing Shen Daniu's words, a chubby little guy with dimpled hands and feet appeared in his mind, with a pink and tender face, black eyeballs, and a bright mark on his forehead. Always with a big smile on his face.Thinking about it makes me feel really cute!Why didn't he meet him when he was a child, so that he could poke his little face.

Thinking of Xiao Yu'er's appearance when he was a child, Lin Zhengze smiled more gently, and said, "Xiao Yu'er looks very well-behaved and cute now."

After seeing this piece of green spinach, I went to the place where the cabbage was grown.At this time, I saw Xiao Yuer coming over with washed tomatoes and cucumbers.When Xiao Yu'er came to them, he had already sliced ​​the tomatoes and cucumbers with a knife at home, put them on a plate and carried them in a basket.There were also a few pairs of chopsticks in the basket. When he was holding the chopsticks just now, it suddenly occurred to him that he could actually get some toothpicks by himself.It is more convenient and gentle to eat sliced ​​fruit like this, especially when there are guests like now.He thought that there are bamboo forests in the mountains, and Grandpa is also very good at making things with bamboo, so he can tell Grandpa the appearance, Grandpa will definitely be able to make it, and the toothpick is not complicated.

Xiao Yu'er walked up to Lin Zhengze, picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed him a pair of chopsticks for him to taste.Tell him: "Just eat it directly with sandwiches like this. Taste some taste first. I will pick some more and go back to cook later. Let's stay for lunch! It's hot and let the family treat you to a meal."

Lin Zhengze took the chopsticks and directly picked up a few tomatoes and cucumbers to eat. He thought it was really good, different from the taste of the finished dishes, and had a special flavor.After taking a few mouthfuls, he put down his chopsticks and said, "It's very good, I like this taste." Seeing that he likes it, Xiao Yu'er said, "Actually, you can sprinkle some sugar on the sliced ​​raw tomatoes, it tastes even better. It’s just that it’s better to use fine sugar. We only have coarse sugar at home. We didn’t put it in for fear of affecting the taste. There are also cucumbers that can be made into cold dishes when they are raw. You can cut them into thin slices and mix them with seasoning It’s cold cucumber. It’s more appetizing to eat before a meal, and it can be eaten as a side dish.”

After hearing what he said, Lin Zhengze said, "It seems that today's lunch has to be eaten here. Hearing what you said, I want to try the taste."

Both Shen Aniu and Xiao Yu'er hurriedly said: "It would be great if you could stay and eat, I can't even wish for it. It's just that I don't know how to cook fine dishes at home, they are all home-cooked dishes. I'm neglecting you." Lin Zhengze Said: "It's nothing. I often eat too much restaurant cook's food outside. No matter how delicious it is, I will get tired of it. Home cooking is good, and it will be more comfortable to eat."

In this way, after Lin Zhengze decided to stay for lunch, Xiao Yu'er was ready to pick vegetables and go back to cook with Ah Mo and the others.When Xiao Yu'er started picking vegetables, he specifically asked Lin Zhengze if there was anything he should not eat.Lin Zhengze replied to him, "You can do whatever you want. I'm not picky about food. I can eat anything."

Xiao Yu'er picked the vegetables, greeted Lin Zhengze and went home to cook.

Shen Daniu continued to take Lin Zhengze to look at other vegetables in the vegetable garden.When he was almost done, Lin Zhengze saw the potatoes planted by Xiao Yuer.Feeling unfamiliar, I asked Shen Daniu.Shen Daniu told him: "People from the neighboring village found this on the mountain. When they went to the street and saw him selling it, they bought it. We call it potatoes. We cook them at home and eat them. They are very filling. And it can also be made into vegetables. They are immature. When they are ripe, you have to dig the potatoes out of the ground. You don’t eat the ones on the ground. When you bring them back, you cook them with some potatoes. Give us a taste. We guys can eat a few to fill our stomachs, this is a good thing."

Lin Zhengze became even more interested when he heard this, but it's not yet the harvest time, so he can only say: "It's really a good thing, can I bother you when the potatoes are ripe? I want to try this potato for myself, if it's really good If it is so useful, your family can also make more varieties in the future, and you can cooperate with me again."

Shen Daniu was very happy when he heard this: "What's the matter! When the potatoes are ripe, please ask the man who pulls vegetables to give you a message, and you can come here directly. It's just that the clock is too little now, just wait now Most of them will be kept as seeds when they are ripe. You can only taste a small amount.”

Lin Zhengze said: "It doesn't look like there are many. Now the quantity is small, so it would be nice to have a taste. After planting more, let's talk about selling."

Seeing that the vegetable garden was almost complete, Shen Daniu wanted to take Lin Zhengze back home.He said: "Now the dishes are finished. I think they have almost picked vegetables and they are moving them to the carriage. How about we go back? Come to sit at home and take a rest first. Lunch is not so fast. Do it."

Lin Zheng Zeye felt that it was almost done, he already had a certain understanding of the Shen family's vegetable garden.He stepped forward and followed Shen Daniu back.

When they walked to the door of Shen's house, they found that the buddy and the rest of the family had already packed the picked vegetables into baskets and were moving them to the carriage.

Lin Zhengze went over to have a look and saw that they were doing well.He said to the buddy: "You guys can go back with the vegetables first, and they are waiting for use in the restaurant. Just leave my carriage, I will go back later. Yuan Bao will come to Shen's house to find me by himself."

As he spoke, he saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with a baby face who was helping and replied crisply, "Okay, young master."

Seeing that Lin Zhengze had made arrangements, Shen Daniu led him into the courtyard.
