Carrying the Ba Zong's child to farm

Zhao Shanzhi's lotus pods are very big, one is estimated to weigh more than a catty, and the disc-shaped lotus pods are heavy to hold in the hand.

There are many lotus plants in the pond of his house, and he did not go to the deep water area. He just stood by the pond and hooked a few lotus plants, cut them off with a sickle, and put them in a basket.

"Good guy, there are at least 20 lotus seeds in a lotus pod." Zhao Danshi took a look. In the dark green lotus pod, lotus seeds protruded, plump and round, very pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Shanshi couldn't help it, he picked out a lotus seed from the lotus pod, removed the lotus core and threw it into his mouth, then peeled another one for Li Ping, removed the lotus core and stuffed it in his mouth.

"Brother, are these lotus seeds delicious?" Zhao Shanshi chewed the lotus seeds in his mouth, "Why do I think our lotus seeds are sweeter than others' lotus seeds?"

"It's not an illusion, it's really delicious."

Looking around at the lotus pods in the basket, I couldn't help stretching out my hand and yelling "ahhh" twice.

"What's the matter? You want it too." Zhao Shanshi shook the lotus pod in front of his eyes and took it back.

Going around in a hurry, "Yeah!"

Li Ping stretched out his hands to untie the straps, and hugged DouDou himself, so DouDou could free both hands to grab the lotus pods.

"Don't tease him, you have to be in a hurry to tease him again."

"All right, all right, no teasing, I'll give you a smaller one." Zhao Danshi replied casually, and then picked thousands of options beside him. After choosing for a long time, he didn't find a small lotus pod, and the big lotus pod couldn't be picked up.In the end, he had no choice but to cut off a lotus leaf, and stuffed it in the bag, "Come on, son, forget about the lotus, let me play with the lotus leaf."

Doudou was not angry when he had fun, he happily grabbed the lotus leaf in his palm, opened his mouth with only four teeth, and took a bite of the lotus leaf with a whining sound.

Zhao Shanshi looked at his little expression, the lotus leaf was a bit bitter, and the taste should not be pleasant.

DouDou really frowned, reacted for a long time, and finally spit out the juice from his mouth with a whimper.

Zhao Shanshi shaved his face, "What's the matter, you must have suffered a lot."

Dou Dou turned a deaf ear, smacked his mouth and bit the lotus leaf, as if he was tasting the taste of the lotus leaf.

Zhao Danshi was overjoyed when he saw him like this.Li Ping gently pinched his mouth open and took out the lotus leaf.The lotus leaf is cold in nature, and he is still young, so he can't eat these things.

There are two acres of lotus ponds, and the lotus pods inside are very impressive. Zhao Danshi took a look at it, and he will come over in two days to take back the lotus pods.

The basket that Zhao Shanshi carried was small, so he cut five lotus pods and put them in the basket and stopped cutting. Instead, he picked a lotus and handed it to Doudou for him to play with.

Doudou doesn't hold grudges, and everything will be fine if you have something to play with in your hand. Holding a pink lotus, he giggled again.

The two turned around and walked home slowly, Zhao Shanshi also said: "Doudou is still young now, when he grows up a little in two years, I can bring him to try what is called Xitou lying peeling lotus pods."

Li Ping smiled, "Take him to row a boat in the pond. Fly kites in spring, swim in summer, pick red leaves in autumn, and build snowmen in winter. Let him try everything."

"Yes, there is probably only one child in our family. Take him to play more, senior brother, how about letting Doudou here before elementary school? We both graduated from college anyway, and the kindergarten teachers taught us similarly. We can teach him, we take him to play around, so we don’t need to start elite education too early.”

Zhao Shanshi was in high spirits. Since Doudou was born, he had read a lot of professional books, and he also read other books.All in all, children who grow up under family care have a higher chance of being happy throughout their lives.

Zhao Dan knows that he can make money by himself, and he doesn't expect Doudou to grow up to be rich, as long as his life goes well.The children educated by the elite are excellent, but that is too hard.Zhao Shanshi doesn't want to go around so hard, it's good to be a safe and happy ordinary person.

"I have no objection. Let's wait until Doudou grows up."

"That's right, but it won't work for our family to be as busy as it is now. We have to find a way to liberate ourselves early."

The two returned with a bag of lotus pods. Zhao Mingtai and Zhao Fushun looked at it for a while, wondering, "Master, shall we use lotus seeds to stew pig's feet soup?"

"Huh?" Zhao Danshi heard what they meant, and said amusedly, "Otherwise, what kind of soup do you want?"

"Sparse rib soup, master, didn't you say that lotus seed pork rib soup is delicious?"

"Okay, ribs soup is ribs soup, the two of you peel off the lotus seeds first."

Zhao Mingtai and Zhao Fushun took the orders and happily went to peel the lotus pods with a sickle.

The shell of the lotus pod is very hard, Zhao Shanshi told them to be careful not to cut their hands.

Peel off the lotus seeds and remove the lotus seed core in the middle. The lotus seed cores are not thrown away, but put them in a small basket. After drying, they make lotus core tea. If you eat something and get angry, drink some lotus core tea. .

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Shanshi went shopping around with his arms in his arms, and bought spare ribs by the way.

He was going to teach his apprentices how to stew pork rib soup, and the apprentices were all around him.

"The light eating method of stewed pork ribs soup is the best way to see the quality of the ingredients. Therefore, when stewing, you must buy good materials. If the materials are not good, you must not use them for stewing soup. Like this kind of ribs, It is best to buy small cutlets, that is, ribs. The ribs are well-proportioned, the meat is wrapped around the bones, and the taste is tender. The other ribs are just a handful of bones, and the stewed soup is not very appetizing."

Zhao Shanshi showed them the ribs, "Many people like to blanch the ribs in boiling water to remove the blood. One minute is enough, most of the nutrients in ribs are water-soluble, if you blanch them for too long, all the nutrients will be in the waste water that will be poured out.”

"Many people know the first method. Today I will tell you another method. Take the fresh ribs and wash them in clean water first, then marinate them for 10 minutes. The materials for marinating include salt, ginger juice, Pay attention to the amount of onion juice, rice wine, raw powder and egg white. After marinating for 10 minutes, turn on the fire and fry the marinated ribs until they are half-ripe. Bring to a simmer."

Zhao Danshi demonstrated while talking, the freshly squeezed well water was clean, and the pork ribs looked very appetizing after washing.

Liu Erhua asked worriedly: "Master, will it be fishy if the blood is in it like this?"

"No, the meat has a fishy smell. After washing the blood on the surface, it won't have much fishy smell if you don't blanch it. After you fry it, because of the oil, the fishy smell will turn into a delicious fragrance. "

Zhao Danshi squeezed out the well water to wash his hands. Another point is very important, "In general stews, you should pay special attention to the ingredients. The amount should not be too much or too little. For things like ribs soup, you can add a little more ribs."

Their pork rib soup was simmered slowly until noon when everyone came back for dinner. Each person served a bowl of pork rib soup. The soup was slightly yellow and looked very clear. When you smell it, it is fragrant.

A bowl of hot and delicious soup, tender pork ribs, lotus seed noodles, drink a mouthful of soup, eat a mouthful of meat, the taste is indescribably delicious.

It has been seven months since Doudou, Zhao Shanshi gave him a taste, blew it cool carefully and fed it to his mouth.After tasting the soup, Zhao Danshi crushed another lotus seed and fed it to Doudou.

DouDou liked the taste very much, grabbed Zhao Danshi's hand, not letting him leave, buried his little head in the spoon, and took a sip after another.

He eats fiercely, just like a little milk dog, he eats many people and becomes strong.

Doudou is still young, after tasting it, Zhao Danshi won't let him continue to drink.

He watched his father smack his mouth, knowing that his father would not give soup anymore, so he curled up in his father's arms obediently, watching other people eat.

Zhao Shanshi said: "There are still a lot of lotus pods in the pond, I have to cut them all down tomorrow."

"How much is a lot?" The old man wondered: "We rarely grow lotus roots here. I didn't expect that there is one in the pond, and it grows so well."

"There are fish in the pond, and the pond is full of fish dung." Zhao Shanshi said, "I'll have to go and cut it tomorrow to find out how many lotus pods there are."

"That's right, how do you get the lotus pod? Send it to the city to sell?"

"Let's take a look again. I see people say that lotus seeds are not cheap. A catty of lotus seeds costs four to fifty yuan. See if you can sell the lotus pods. If you can sell them, you can charge six or seven yuan per catty. You can get the lotus seeds and sell them."

"I don't see many people growing lotus roots in the county. If our lotus pods are shipped over, they should be quite popular."

Zhao Danshi also became interested when he heard it, "We'll cut some after we eat, anyway, the lotus pods are put out, so we don't have to worry about spoiling them, so when we deliver the vegetables tomorrow, we'll take them to the county town to see how the market is going. "

As soon as he came up with this idea, everyone was very interested. Now that the weather is hot, his three disciples are very happy to cut the lotus pods and play in the water.

When he was digging, the pond was not too shallow, and there was silt at the bottom of the pond. After he went down into the pond, the water probably reached his waist.

Zhao Shanshi was worried that there would be water snakes in the water, so he asked everyone to be careful, and to knock first with a pole before going, so as not to get caught.

"Master, don't worry, we have touched so many ponds, a small lotus pond is no problem." Zhao Mingtai smiled, "Just wait, I will cut the big lotus for you."

"Be careful with the ten-thousand-year ship, don't be shy." Zhao Shanshi hit him with a stick.

The lotus pods in the middle of the pond were not easy to cut, so each of Zhao Shanshi distributed a pot, and the cut lotus pods were placed in the pots, floating on the water, and then sent to the shore when there were too many.

These pots are still the pots they used to sell cold vegetables, and now the pots are cleaned and placed at home, and they are used to hold lotus pods in stacks, just floating on the water.

The pots filled with lotus pods are like small boats. With a slight push by Zhao Shanshi, the boats will push away the lotus leaves and float towards the shore.

The old man came over with his arms in his arms to watch the fun. Zhao Shanshi stood on the bank and brought up the pots one by one. The lotus pods were poured into the baskets, and then he pushed the pots vigorously towards the people who picked the lotus pods.

"Mingtai, there is a big lotus behind you, don't miss it."

"Where is it? Hey, I saw it." Zhao Mingtai turned around and cut off the lotus pod under the lotus leaves.

"The lotus pods in our pond can really grow." Shaozi said with emotion, "If the lotus pods are harvested, they should be able to receive five or six hundred catties, right?"

"It's really hard to tell."

Shaozi said: "I think it's about the same. Even if it's not six hundred catties, it won't be less than five hundred catties."

The lotus pods were transported to the county town and sold for six yuan a catty, and there was also an income of 3000 yuan. This money is really easy to earn.Shaozi envies secretly, capable people are different, they are all farming, while others live a prosperous life in a daze.
