Back home to start a farm

The days have gradually turned into short days and long nights, but Qu Chi still waits for the dawn to get up most of the time.

Today is an exception.

There were still many stars hanging in the sky, Qu Chi had already folded the quilt, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and stood on the balcony to take a few deep breaths of the fresh and cool air before waking up to welcome the new day.

"How about eating porridge with preserved egg and lean meat in the morning?" Qu Chi lay on the railing of the balcony, lowered his head and asked Qin Shi in the yard with a smile.

"Okay." Qin Shi was slowly watering the flowers with a kettle in his hand, when he heard that he raised his head and replied, "I'll get the preserved eggs."

"Take three is enough."

Qu Chi straightened his messy hair in front of the mirror, and then met Xueqiu's spirited eyes on the balcony.

He ate very well on weekdays, and Xueqiu was full of energy every day, and he could hear the noise he made by parkour in the house all night long.

If it weren't for Qu Chi's excellent sleep quality, and he could fall asleep peacefully after getting used to the sound made by Xueqiu, he would have already had big dark circles on his face.

Holding the snowball downstairs and letting him move freely in the yard, Qu Chi took the preserved egg from Qin Shi and went into the kitchen.

The preserved eggs were pickled in the town with the eggs at home. Now it is time to eat them. After the shells were peeled off, the black preserved eggs were cut into small pieces.

Take out the rice that was washed last night from the freezer of the refrigerator. The tissue inside the frozen rice grains is destroyed. Put it in a casserole with boiling water to cook it faster, and it will gradually become sticky.

Add shredded ginger, shredded pork marinated in advance, diced preserved eggs, and shredded lettuce. There is no green onion that Qin Shi didn't like, and then add some salt, chicken essence, sesame oil and a little white pepper to taste. It didn't take long for a pot of preserved egg and lean pork porridge to come out hot.

The porridge just out of the pot is very viscous. Stir it gently with a spoon a few times, and the little porridge stuck to the bottom of the spoon is not willing to slip off.

Take a bite, the sticky white rice, the special preserved egg, the tender shredded meat and the fresh and sweet lettuce are perfectly blended together, dancing between the lips and teeth, allowing every corner of the mouth to taste this delicacy.

"How does it taste?" Qu Chi asked with a smile.

"It's delicious." Qin Shi didn't say much, but walked silently to the casserole and filled another bowl, showing his liking with actions.

The taste is really good, and it is extra comforting to eat.

A big pot of porridge was eaten clean, and Qin Shi took the initiative to take over the job of washing the dishes. After returning here, his housework has changed from unfamiliar to familiar.

Not long after eating, there was the sound of mechanical roaring outside.

Qu Chi grabbed two hats, put one on his head, and threw the other on top of Qin Shi's head. With a sickle in his hand, he led him out to the field.

"Go, I'll take you out to find something delicious."

Pushing open the gate of the yard and going out, the two saw that the person who had made an appointment in advance had already arrived at the edge of the field with a harvester.

In the few fields that Qu Chi planted, apart from sweet potatoes and rice, it will take some time. Purple potatoes, peanuts and sesame corn are all ready to be harvested.

Even though these lands are not too much, Qu Chi and Qin Shi can't finish their work easily, let alone they don't want to be so tired.

The only way to do it is to rent the machine or find someone to help with the work. There are not many people in the village, and people come to play from time to time recently. Qu Chi simply contacted the agricultural machinery store in the town again.

Considering that there are many farmlands in the village that are about to mature, Qu Chi's own land is not much and it will not take much time, so he simply asks through the village chief if anyone in the village wants to rent one.

Originally, the people in the village were reluctant to spend this little money. They could reap it themselves, so they wanted to refuse. Then they saw Qu Chi settle the accounts for them.

The machinery shop has cooperated many times, and the rental price they gave was much higher than what they thought. After hearing the estimated cost, think about the appearance of bending over and sweating profusely before.

Many people really moved their hearts.

Most of the people living in the village are elderly people. In the past few years, some people in the village went to the fields at noon, were sent to the hospital for paralysis after being fainted from heat, and died two years later.

What happened at that time sounded the alarm for everyone.

In the end, quite a few people decided to rent machines with Qu Chi, and when manpower was spared, they could still entertain a few tourists who came to visit.

There were many people around the field, and it happened to be the weekend today. There were people from the village as well as foreign tourists, old people and children. Qu Chi also saw the familiar Wang Meifang and others. more times.

The distance was relatively far, and the two sides only nodded slightly to say hello.

There were also many foreign tourists who saw Qu Chi and Qin Shi for the first time, their eyes lit up when they saw them, and they discussed in low voices with excitement.

Qu Chi was very cautious about accidents that might happen when using these machines, and told the village head about these possible things in advance, and told the tall men in the village to keep the crowd in a safe place. The adults should take care of the children. Let the machine start to move.

Corn taller than a person stands in the field. In the past, when breaking the corn, you have to wrap your body well, otherwise you will be scratched by the edge of the leaves.

Don't worry now, the tall corn harvester enters the field, and after walking over, the corn goes directly into the warehouse, and the straw is directly crushed.

The scene of easy harvesting makes people marvel at the development of technology.

However, this convenience is convenient, but the crushed straw makes people feel a bit pity.

Seeing that others were watching the machine harvesting and taking short videos with their mobile phones, Qu Chi took Qin Shi to his own corn field that was harvested later, picked two slender corn stalks, and chopped them off with a sickle.

The long stalks have a sweet taste like sugar cane, which is a must-have snack when breaking corn in childhood.

Qu Chi broke off the corn in a familiar way, and then clicked twice on the corn stalk with a sickle, leaving only the penultimate to penultimate knots, which are the most delicious parts.

"Here, try it, the corn stalks I picked out won't taste bad." Qu Chi confidently peeled off the hard shell of the corn stalks with a sickle, and handed the tender core inside to Qin Shi.

Qin Shi took it over, feeling as if he was being doted on by Qu Chi, this feeling was a bit weird but not annoying.

In the future, I will find opportunities to show myself, and I can't always take advantage of Qu Chi.

The specially selected corn stalks are relatively tender, and the core inside is not as hard as imagined. On the contrary, moisture bursts out as soon as you bite into it: "It's very sweet and full of moisture."

The sweetness of corn stalks is much lower than that of sugar cane, but it has a unique sweetness. The two of them sat on the edge of the field and gnawed the corn stalks quietly, not caring about the eyes of others.

The people watching here don't know whether they are fascinated by people or by corn stalks.

Just looking at it, my eyes stayed on the ever-decreasing corn stalks.

Why do you feel your mouth is thirsty?

And this thirst for water can't be solved, you have to eat corn stalks.

Zhang Tianle, who was in contact with Qu Chi, slowly approached under the urging eyes of his cousins: "Little boss, do you sell the corn stalks in your field?"

There are not many delicious parts of the corn stalks, but the taste is really good. After thinking about it, I said, "One for three yuan, I'll cut it for you."

Zhang Tianle ordered ten immediately, and when Qu Chi was peeling the corn stalks, his group of cousins ​​also came over.

Not long after, one of them was holding a corn stalk in his hand and was standing on the ridge of the field gnawing on it. It looked a little earthy and sandy.

Seeing this scene, some tourists were curious and wanted to try it. Many villagers found business opportunities here. They went home and took a sickle to cut a lot in their own fields. They went to crowded places and asked people if they wanted it. Qu Chi is much cheaper.

Anyone who has tasted the dishes of Xishan Village will basically taste the taste of corn stalks.Regardless of the fact that corn stalks are now crushed and used to feed cattle and sheep, many people used to eat them, especially those from Xishan Village, the taste is definitely not bad.

Those who know the goods even ran to Qu Chi's side, preferring to queue up to buy.

People who come here for the first time are more hesitant, but once they are curious, they will try it. Anyway, everyone who comes here will not be conquered by the food.

Later, Qin Shi also helped out with a sickle, and there were not many tourists. Qu Chi hadn't been busy for too long and then took a break. He put down the sickle and shook his arms habitually.

A warm touch was suddenly transmitted from the arm to the brain, and Qu Chi was startled. Looking at the arm, he saw Qin Shi's hand massaging the arm.

"I've learned some massage techniques, and after rubbing my arm, it won't be sore." Qin Shi said in a natural tone, with a look on his face that his behavior was very normal.Some rough palms moved back and forth on Qu Chi's arms, with exceptional strength.

"Oh." Qu Chi replied in a daze, completely ignoring the fact that the strengthened arm was not sore at all, and also forgot to refuse.

Qu Chi felt that the sun was too hot today, even if he sat under the shade of a tree, his face would still be hot.

Fortunately, Qin Shi let go of his hand after pressing it, and asked, "How do you feel now?"

"It's much better." Qu Chi looked at the surrounding grass, and became excited again when he saw something familiar, "There are black stars over there. The scientific name of this thing is nightshade in TV dramas."

After saying that, Qu Chi got up and walked to the side, and soon waved to him with a small black wild fruit in his hand.

Qin Shi smiled slightly and followed.

With the help of machinery, although it cost some money, it saved a lot of time and manpower, and there was still free time to entertain tourists, which made a lot of money.

The tourists had fun and helped them bring more tourists.

And after the corn and peanuts are collected, there is no need to wait for the final weighing. It can be seen from the naked eye that this year is a bumper harvest year, and the harvest is much more than previous years.

The village is full of laughter these days, and everyone is very happy.

After a few days of busy work, a lot of ground in the village has become bare. There are also yards and clean cement roads, and there are many more crops that need to be dried to preserve them better.

Qu Chi also had a smile on his face. The sesame seeds and peanuts were waiting to be sent to the oil mill at home for oil extraction. The purple sweet potatoes needed to be processed by someone, but the corn and corn stalks had sold a lot these days.

In addition, he made a lot of money selling vegetables and eels and loach these days, so he should tell his parents about the results of his experiments in the past six months.
