Love delays my farming

The dealers in the field have almost harvested, and the two greenhouses don't need to worry too much.Grandma Chu was free, seeing that it was not too cold, she decided to dry some dried sweet potatoes and pumpkins.

Dried sweet potato and pumpkin is not just the kind of steamed and dried sweet potato and pumpkin, but two kinds of steamed and cooked are mixed together and mashed, spread into thin slices and dried.This is Chu Yao's favorite snack when he was a child. Although there are sweet potatoes, but because it is mixed with pumpkin, he will not be afraid of heartburn even if he eats too much.Coupled with the dry air in the north, the dried slices are very hard and can be chewed for a long time after tearing a piece. It is a very durable snack.

After marinating several jars of sauerkraut, those big pots began to steam pumpkin and sweet potatoes non-stop.These pumpkins and sweet potatoes must be steamed with their skins separated from water. Although the steaming is relatively slow, they will not become slimy when mashed due to too much water.

Peel the steamed pumpkins and sweet potatoes, put them in a big basin, stir well, spread them out in a bamboo dustpan to dry, and sprinkle a layer of sesame seeds on top.Because the sweetness of the pumpkin and sweet potato planted this time is enough, there is no need to add sugar.

In autumn, people are busy stockpiling food and vegetables for the winter, especially in rural areas, where the atmosphere of autumn harvest and winter storage is stronger.

The soybeans planted before were dried in the sun, and Kang Huiguo helped them take them to the town for oil extraction.Other families store soybeans in the oil mill, and every time they need oil, they go there and make a single stroke to extract the oil for consumption.But because the quality of their own soybeans is indeed very good, after saving the seeds and soybeans for making soy milk and tofu, Kang Huiguo needs to watch at the oil mill for a while, and bring back the oil and bean dregs after the beans are squeezed.

These bean dregs are good fertilizers. Chu Yao planted some strawberries and watermelons in the greenhouse. These two kinds of fruits eat a lot of fertilizers, and the bean dregs are prepared for them.

However, if you want to eat rice and noodles, there are workshops in the village. In the past, Grandpa Chu dragged Grandma Chu’s beloved small trailer to pull the hulled rice to the village for shelling. Now that he has a powerful pony, he loves it. Got it this way with a small matto grain.

Towing fifty catties each time, and buying some rice bran to feed the pigs, taking a stroll to the village every now and then to find someone to chat with was Grandpa Chu's favorite activity.

"Grind some glutinous rice noodles today, and give the children some Lantern Festival rice cakes to eat." Grandpa Chu took three pocket horses and stood at the gate of the mill with his hands behind his back. "I will send a few hundred catties of chaff to my family later. A pig, you have to give them enough to eat in winter, don’t starve and lose weight.”

"You have a good life." The owner of the mill laughed, and raised his hand to touch the head of the pocket horse. "This little thing is cute. You are planning to open a zoo on your island."

"Why open a zoo?" Grandpa Chu said cheerfully, "Yangyang's friend is a horse breeder. He thought that the beautiful scenery here is good for horses, so he brought a few horses to play and do some work to earn a house by the way." fee."

The owner of the mill couldn't help laughing, and said, "What can this little thing do?" The biggest one was just waist high, holding a light flour bag, and the combined goods brought by the three horses were just over a hundred catties.

"Let's stroll around and play," Grandpa Chu glanced at the backyard of the mill, "Does your family also raise quail?"

"Yes, my daughter-in-law is very careful in serving her. The new stick noodles made by myself are finely ground, mixed with egg shells and chopped cabbage, and they all look very energetic." The owner of the mill laughed and said: "Before I rely on this mill for two meals, and now I have a new income, and I bought a new computer for my boss, so it is convenient to go to school outside."

The eldest daughter of the mill owner's family went to college with outsiders, and she studied in a teacher's school.There is only one college student in the entire Taoyuan Village. She only went to college in her twenties, and she is still a girl.It's only been two years since I've been in school, and people from the town keep coming to propose a kiss to the girl.

However, the owner of the mill wanted his daughter to marry outside. It would be even better if she could stay in the city.

"What can I do when I come back? People in poor mountains and rivers can't earn three melons and two dates a day. It's just that those of us who are old don't want to give up our family and work, and we can't leave this place. It's better for young people to go far away."

Grandpa Chu touched the pony's head and said, "It's hard to say. My grandson has been tossing around with big cities before, and he can't get much rest all year round. He is tired and sick at a young age. Now young people in the city are not Easy, I read the news, many of the tired and sick are young people."

The owner of the mill sighed, and said, "Why is it so easy? We just built a road in our village, and we were very happy at first. There is water, do you dare to let people go? If something happens, who will be responsible? There are no scenic spots, just a bunch of old dilapidated houses. It is also troublesome to get in and out. In case of heavy rain and heavy snow, you will not be able to leave. Gradually And no one came."

Grandpa Chu sighed and didn't know what to say.

The daughter of the owner of the mill went to college, but his son stayed at home to inherit the mill because he was not good at studying and was relatively honest.Now it is the big guy who is working. He is quite tall in his twenties, but he is too thin. He moves the wheat and rice without saying a word, and his head is covered with gray flour by the dust.

Which of the young men in their twenties that Grandpa Chu saw before were not high-spirited?Especially those on the island, they are all energetic and beautiful.Can a family raise such a good child without money?Impossible.It is precisely because of the money and confidence that I dare to go to the island to experience life.

The owner of the mill said again: "Even if you are tired outside, you can see the world at least. It's not like staying in the village. After a long time, you can't distinguish between east, west, north and south. We can't understand what people say."

"It's done, will the bran be delivered to you today?" The mill owner's son is Kang Yunqiang, who is a generation younger than Kang Huiguo.His father was the mill owner and Kang Huiguo's generation, named Kang Huipeng.Every time the rice bran was sent to the island, Kang Huiqiang sent it there, but this child was too introverted and didn't like to talk. Every time, he unloaded the rice bran to the gate of the yard without saying a word, turned around and left without saying hello people.

"Send it over there." Seeing the child staring at the horse non-stop, Grandpa Chu said with a smile, "Take a vacation with your father and go play with us. We still have a big horse to ride around on." .”

A look of joy flashed in the young man's eyes, and he couldn't help looking at his father.

The owner of the mill waved his hand and said, "Go, anyway, there is no work right now, go play. Just remember to come back for dinner at noon."

"Why do you come back? At noon, I want steamed rice cakes and cut cakes at home, so I will leave the children to eat there, and come back after eating." Grandpa Chu put the packed rice noodles on the pony, and Kang Yunqiang rode on it. A tricycle with several sacks of rice bran piled on it.

When I arrived at the pier, I saw two big horses standing opposite. There was a blanket on the big horses, and there were baskets at their feet. It looked like they were waiting for Grandpa Chu to go back.

The pony landed on the shore, and ran into the yard with a patter of hooves.They only carried thirty to forty catties of things on their backs, so they didn't take it seriously at all.

Da Ma looked back at Xiao Ma, snorted helplessly, then directly picked up the bag of rice bran that Kang Yunqiang carried off the boat, and was about to go back.

"It's so tiring to carry it on your back." Grandpa Chu quickly patted the horse's neck, put the rice bran into the basket with Kang Yunqiang, and put the basket on the horse.

The group of horses Shuhu brought had no reins or saddles, and he didn't know how he rode all the way here.But when I came here, because of Chu Yao, someone sent me a pair of harnesses, but Chu Yao lost interest after riding it twice.

In fact, Grandpa Chu didn't know, it wasn't that his grandson had lost interest, but that a certain young master was jealous again, and his whole body was so sore that he could almost dip in dumplings, which made Chu Yao really embarrassed to ride a horse.

Kang Yunqiang stroked the smooth mane on the horse's neck, his eyes sparkled with stars.

"Like horses?" Grandpa Chu asked with a smile.These horses are very smart, and they know how to carry things home without being led.

Kang Yunqiang hummed, with a smile on his face.

Grandpa Chu said: "If you like it, come here to play often. There are young people here, and you can play together. The children here are easy to talk to. Just call them brother and sister."

Kang Yunqiang gave a muffled hum, then raised his hand to touch the batch of his favorite maroon horses.

Da Ma lowered his head and arched his shoulders, which made the child laugh again.

Grandpa Chu didn't let Kang Yunqiang go back, and started making these things as soon as he got home.The dates for the steamed glutinous rice cakes are grown on an old jujube tree in the village of village chief Kang. That tree is so big that it can produce a lot of dates every year, and each household gets its share.Village head Kang dried more than ten catties of jujubes, and brought five catties over here.

Chu Yao likes to eat fresh jujubes, but he has been busy this year. Now that he has a little leisure, he starts to think about whether to buy some new fruit tree seedlings.He likes the kind of jujube with thick flesh and small core in his hometown. After looking at the bank deposits in Kari, he gritted his teeth and ordered twenty three-year-old fruit seedlings.

Now he has an idea in his mind to sell agricultural products online. Whether it is his own beans or the beans in the village, they all grow very well. This thing is also durable, and he can make a one-person serving of eight-treasure porridge or soy milk. Small packages for two people are sold online.

The reason why I thought of this kind of small package is because I used to live alone, and every time I cooked porridge, I cooked too much porridge.Porridge is delicious when it is cooked at the time, but it will be thankful for a second meal when it is cold. It is not as sticky and sweet as it was when it was just out of the pan.

If you have a small package, just take it apart and cook it in an open pot, which is simple and trouble-free, and you can eat it in one meal.

But to get this kind of packaging, you need to have a sealing machine, a vacuum machine, etc., which is another sum of money...

In fact, if he is helping the villagers bring goods, he can let the village pay the money, but Chu Yao thinks that he can use the money whenever he wants, and it is embarrassing to share the cost with the village.If you can't help them bring the goods yourself, you will be charged a manual fee, provided that the things can be sold.

Now that I have an idea, it is still relatively difficult to implement it.No one in the first village grows so many beans, and there are not enough varieties.Second, if it is too thin to make only one kind, he should consider whether to make more kinds.For example, if the dried sweet potatoes and pumpkins at home are dried out, if the taste is good, you can make more takeaways in the next year.

According to Long Jiu, this island was actually formed by the soil in the past, and it needs to build trees to circulate the spiritual energy of the soil so that it can be absorbed by others, recycled, and fed back to the soil.After all, the island has no cover, and these auras will slowly permeate into the surrounding air and water.Several villages such as Taoyuan Village next to the island will also benefit from spiritual nourishment, and the quality of vegetables, grains and fruits grown will be better than those in other places.

It's just a little worse than the island.

Chu Yao didn't want to transport vegetables for the time being, because the weather was a little bad and it was difficult to transport vegetables abroad, and the road was not easy to take a cart, and one day's delay would cost one day's money.But beans, rice and other dry goods are not afraid of these, and they can afford delays.

He planned to write his thoughts into a plan, and then discuss it with Village Chief Kang and the others.There is no harm in growing some beans, the worst is to sell them to the state.But if you can really sell it through an online store, you can at least make more money.

Seeing that he only had a five-figure deposit left, Chu Yao fell into deep thought.
