The story of a cold male partner and a husband

Greenhouses and Roasts

In Youluo Village, many people have come to work outside recently, and many people have returned to the village to escape the summer heat.These workers built a temporary shed at the foot of the mountain to eat and live, and even the village became more lively. Many vendors selling tofu, jerky and other small things ran to Youluo Village every three days.

There are more than 30 workers. They go up the mountain at dawn every day and don’t come back until the sun goes down. All they do is the coolie work of cutting trees and carrying soil. They must keep up with food, oil and water.

It’s just that their family is not rich, and they don’t have that much money to buy meat every day to supplement their health. Eggs cost one penny or three pennies are expensive and not enough to fill their stomachs. At this time, they can only rely on “vegetarian meat” "Tofu called to eat.

Tofu is cheap, and you can buy two or three palm-sized pieces for five yuan. Cutting into pieces and cooking with vegetables is nutritious and filling.

These workers are led by the foreman, and each of them pays a penny every other day, and the sum totals more than [-] pennies.Among them, [-] wen were specially set aside for the buyer to buy a square of tofu as big as an adult's arms, which was enough for them to cook soup and braise for two days.

Save the remaining few pennies to buy the seasonings and save them together. When you save up to twenty pennies, you can buy a pack of fried jerky. Boiled in a pot, the taste is not delicious, but the oil and water are large, which can satisfy the gluttony.

As for the vegetables, it is even better. They are a little more careful when weeding and cutting trees. They pick out the wild vegetables with better taste and bring them back home at night. They are scalded in boiling water, soaked in mountain spring water overnight and removed. Bitter and astringent taste, the next day it tastes no worse than the vegetables grown in the ground, and it also clears away heat and detoxifies, and the heat and toxins exposed to the sun during work in the hot summer can be relieved seven or eighty-eight.

The shopkeepers are clever. After knowing the work of Xie’s family, they will carry tofu and other goods to sell at the door. Sometimes the cook of Xie’s family will come to see their goods. As long as the food is fresh and clean, the cook of Xie’s family will hardly bargain and sell generously. .

The summer in Youluo Village is cool and cool, the people who come back to escape the summer heat, together with the Xie family and the workers, two or three shopkeepers can almost sell them all together, with only one exception.

The salesman used to dislike the Xie family’s male-female marriage as a violation of ethics and did not sell them the tofu. Now that the Xie family has developed, he regrets it a bit. Unfortunately, he is not allowed to step in the road of the Xie family, let alone sell his goods. .

Immediately afterwards, it was rumored that the Xie family fell in love with a peddler's tofu, and made a long-term contract with him to give away tofu every three days, and each time they gave [-] Wen. Baiwen's tofu is a big deal for the shopkeeper, and several other shopkeepers are also envious.

But during this period of time, they made a lot of money from the Xie family and those who worked, and they were relieved after envying them.Only the salesman back then was so regretful that his intestines were green, but it was useless.

Ye Yuanxian gave birth to a few July Red apples and planted them in the seedling room in the yard, but there are rice, wheat, corn and sweet potatoes in the seedling room now, and a few more apple seedlings can hardly fit in there.

"Yuan, let's build a nursery." Ye Yuanxian casually patted the soil stuck to his clothes, preparing to expand his planting base.

Xie Yifeng nodded: "Okay, I'll find someone who can make a greenhouse. If we build it now, we can use it when the weather cools down."

There is not much difference between the nursery room and the greenhouse. Many big families in the town and county have greenhouses in their homes to preserve the flowers carefully planted by the wives, so there are many skilled craftsmen.

However, the greenhouse to be built by Xie's family is large, and ordinary inexperienced masters would not dare to take on this job.

It's midsummer now, and there is no rush for the seedling room. Xie Yifeng and Ye Yuanxian are using magic to transplant the rice that is about to head in the seedling room to a small paddy field outside.

Now the rice outside is also heading. The rice that Ye Yuanxian planted has been spawned with spiritual power. The rice varieties include local, high-yield and easy-to-disease in the south, and low-yield upland rice in the far north.

The rice seeds shipped from the south have high yields and high water quality requirements. Once there is drought or waterlogging, the rice seedlings will not grow well and the yield will drop sharply.

The upland rice in the far north does not have a high demand for water. Keep the water supply during the half month of transplanting and don’t be too short of water when heading. The growth of rice seedlings will not be a big problem.However, the disadvantage is that the yield is low and the taste is not as good as southern rice.

The yield of local rice is not very high, and the requirements for water quality are lower than those of southern rice. The yield per mu is only about [-] catties, which is only a few dozen catties more than that of northern rice.We must know that the yield of rice in the south can reach [-] or even [-] catties per mu.

The rice in the north and the south occupies only half of the land, and the rest is local rice. When it blooms, the local rice will be divided into two and hybridized with the rice in the north and south.

After all, farming is much easier with magic techniques. Xie Yifeng heard Ye Yuanxian read a sentence of mutton skewers yesterday and knew that he was greedy for mutton. Although summer sheep are not as nourishing as winter, they will get angry if they eat too much. These are just minor obstacles.

Xie Yifeng arranged for Xie Yi to go to a family in the village to buy sheep early in the morning. Now that the weather is good and the vegetation on the mountain is lush, the lambs born in spring are now fat and tender, and they are very good for barbecue. good.

A charcoal fire was lit in the gazebo, and Xie Yifeng personally roasted the leg of lamb and lamb skewers. Xie Yi and the others in the outer courtyard were also lucky enough to get a large piece of lamb and a leg of lamb.

The cleaning up of the mountain has been busy these past few days, Xie Yi and the others have handled it very well, taking care of all aspects, so including the workers, the two masters have given them half a day off, and the wages are paid as usual. Eat, drink and rest for half a day.

After the news was passed on, the workers were as happy as Chinese New Year. Their master was generous, and they would send them meat every once in a while, and sometimes they would share some vegetables that the master could not finish.

They are grateful for the kindness of the master's family, and they work harder. They don't need to thank Yi and the others for their supervision, and they can clean up the field neatly.

In addition to lamb, there are also chicken and wild boars hunted in the mountains. Now that the crops in the fields are more ripe, there are always greedy wild boars running down the mountain, and those who go to other people's fields are ignored. It is only used as a ration.

A large wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms weighs [-] kilograms of skinned and boneless meat. Xie’s family took the ribs, pork leg, and half a piece of pork, and gave another about [-] kilograms to the lamb seller as a thank you gift. All the rest is given to the workers.

Half a fan of meat and a big pig's head, remove the inedible offal and internal organs, and the rest can be eaten.The foreman took the life fire to pluck the pig's head and roasted it until it was golden, and then threw it into the pot with the big backbone and simmered it.

Separate the fat from the half fan of meat and cut it into slices, boil the fat in the pot and sprinkle with heavy salt, so that the meat pieces boiled in heavy oil and salt can be stored for five or six days in high temperature weather without any problem.

The leftover lean meat is fried thoroughly in the oil pan and sprinkled with salt. It is very good jerky. They can eat a few pieces to cover a big steamed bun, and they will not be hungry for a long time.

A smell of meat spread from Xie's house, causing the workers around to sniff non-stop. Hearing the yelling of the workers at the foot of the mountain, they were very hungry, but they could only help.

"It would be great if we also went to Xie's house to work..." The younger man muttered, but unfortunately these words can only be said.

The smell of mutton skewers spread in the yard, Ye Yuanxian just gave birth to a big watermelon when he heard Xie Yifeng shouting in the yard: "Yuanxian, come and eat the meat when it's roasted."

"Here we come." Ye Yuanxian responded and quickly cut up half of the watermelon, squeezed the other half into watermelon juice, added ice cubes and a little fruit wine, and took it out together.

The mutton kebabs were sizzling, and few people could resist the aroma.

Legs of lamb are roasted on the grill next to the lamb kebabs. The skin color is yellowish and the fragrance is restrained. It may not take long for the heat to be enough.

The two ate happily, and there was a lot of excitement outside the yard.

After half a day's rest, the workers are more motivated. In addition, this mountain bag looks like an upside-down bowl. The area on the top becomes smaller, and it can be cleaned faster.

Xie Yifeng found the master who built the greenhouse, and settled down on the construction of the greenhouse in the form of a half-package. Before, whether it was building a house or clearing the mountain, it was all-inclusive, in order to reduce trouble.

Nowadays, the construction of the greenhouse is very important, Ye Yuanxian and Xie Yifeng are not at ease to leave it to the workers and masters, and choose the half-package form so that they can participate in it and take care of it from time to time.

The greenhouse designed by Ye Yuanxian covers an area of ​​one and a half acres, one of which is a nursery room without a heating system, and the other five percent is reserved for heating channels. You only need to light firewood inside, and the greenhouse temperature will rise.

The construction of the nursery room is more troublesome than the construction of the yard, because the soil must be kept clean and not polluted during the construction process, and the walls of the nursery room should be made of thick soil to prevent wind and heat insulation.

In this way, when working, first of all, the wall must be tamped with the mud and the wall by manpower, and the time spent will be longer.

The height of the bottom foot of the earth wall needs to be built with a small stone wall first, so that the wall will not be softened and collapse when the ground is watered.

The stones in the stone wall don't need to be too big, the size that can be picked up by two hands is the best, such stones can be found directly in the river ditch.

Ye Yuanxian originally wanted to give some extra money to the workers on the mountain to let them pick up rocks before it got dark after eating, but the foreman waved his hand and smiled before he finished listening: "I thought it was so big!" As for the matter, don’t worry, my lord, if you have nothing else to do, just work harder, and I’ll guarantee that you’ll do it in the time for a walk after eating.”

Men in the north are straightforward and do what they say.That night, they carried their baskets on their backs and prepared to go to the river to pick up stones. Xie Yi and the others quickly harnessed the donkey cart and the carriage, and followed these men to pick up stones.

The perimeter of a five-acre land is about 130 meters, and the stones picked up by a donkey cart can be built two to three meters long. The horse cart is heavier than the donkey cart, and the brick is longer.

The men are bold and not afraid of wasting their energy, and Ye Yuanxian can't really let them do their work for nothing, so they eat more delicately. Chunlai cooks a big pot of mung bean soup every day, and Huahong and Liulu also help make some oil Fried noodles, every time I come back from picking up stones, I always have to have a supper.

After coming and going, the workers all praised the Xie family for his benevolence and kindness.
