Start being a Shennong today

Early in the morning, the villagers of Taoyuan went to work in the vegetable field. They picked and packed all kinds of vegetables, some of them were sent to Taoyuan Supermarket, some were sent to three middle schools, and some were taken away by people sent by Li Tingzhou. up.

The third aunt, who always got up early, was just busy working in the vegetable field, when she heard movement from the side. The couple in the vegetable field next to her didn't usually get up so early.The third aunt straightened up suspiciously and took a look. It turned out to be a young man, and after a closer look, it was Tao Jun, the son of the family.

"Tao Jun, are you planning to go out to work? What's the date and you haven't left yet?" Third Aunt shouted at the top of her voice.

With the loud voice of the third aunt, Tao Jun heard the voice from a distance: "I have heard my mother say that the third aunt is diligent, and I got up so early, and it is still later than the third aunt."

Tao Jun walked into the vegetable field and talked while picking vegetables: "Third Aunt, you know that I don't study well, and I went out to work just after finishing junior high school. Now I just do some manual work outside, and I don't make much money. The boss oppresses me, so I might as well come back and farm."

As soon as the lively lantern festival ended, many young people in the village left with reluctance.When you leave, you have to pack big and small bags. You can take the delicious things in the village with you. If you can’t take them, you can only leave cruelly.

Students have to go, and they have to stay at school as soon as school starts.And those who start working, some are reluctant to part with their careers, some don't like this kind of farming life, and some just don't believe that the income of Taoyuan vegetables will always be stable, and they are worried about the future and are unwilling to give up their jobs.

No matter what the reason is, before they leave, they will ask their family members in the village to send them more delicious food.

However, there are still a few people who choose to stay in the village, and Tao Jun is one of them.

Although compulsory education is now universal, there are still a few people in Taoyuan Village who have only graduated from junior high school.Tao Jun is one of those who are good at studying and admitted to high school, those who are not good at studying, go to technical secondary school or technical school, and those who really don't like studying go out to work.

At that time, the family wanted him to go to a technical school, but he really didn't like studying.I also heard about the dropouts of other students who went out to work. It is easy to make money by working outside, and you don’t have to be disciplined by your parents.Tao Jun, who happened to be a bit rebellious, decided to go out to work to make money, and he was unwilling to listen to his parents' arrangements, so the parents agreed reluctantly.

But after working outside for a few years, I realized how difficult it is.Although he stayed a few grades, he was still underage when he graduated from junior high school and could only enter some small factories.After working outside for a few years, I realized how grateful I am for being uneducated, but I can’t learn it even if I study again.It happened that there were new opportunities in the village, so he decided to stay in the village.

"It's good to come back. It's easy to make money in our village now. As long as you work hard, you will definitely not lose money." The third aunt also heard the unfinished words in Tao Jun's words.

Seeing that his complexion improved a lot after he came back, the third aunt advised him again: "You must have treated yourself badly by working outside. When you first returned to the village, your complexion was very bad. After staying in the village for a month, your complexion It’s much better. I still have to eat more Taoyuan vegetables in the village, but the vegetables in the village are so nourishing now.”

"I also feel it. The food in our village is not only delicious, but I can sleep well every time I eat it."

After hearing this, the third aunt immediately agreed: "Yes, I used to not sleep well. I couldn't fall asleep at one or two o'clock at night. After eating Taoyuan vegetables, I slept well."

The third aunt thought of another person, Tao Jun was the only one nearby who could listen to her, and the chattering third aunt couldn't hold back and said, "Tao Mengxi in the south of the village also stayed in the village. Not enough for her to graduate from college, What kind of English is she studying? Her mother said that she was under a lot of pressure in the company, and she suffered from headaches and hair loss all day long, so she resigned and stayed in the village to recuperate.

"But that girl is capable and can make money in the village. She said that she helped the foreigner to rewrite the things written by the foreigner in Chinese. It's amazing."

"That's pretty awesome. By the way, Third Aunt, it's going to get warmer soon, what kind of vegetables are you going to plant?" Tao Jun responded casually. He felt that it was not good to be evaluated casually behind others, so he moved away topic.

The third aunt's attention was diverted as expected: "I haven't thought about planting vegetables yet. I'll discuss it with my family when he comes back."

"Speaking of growing vegetables, the seeds Tao Ran got are really good. They are also irrigated with Shennong Spring. Some of his family's vegetables are grown with specially cultivated seeds that taste better. What is he talking about in college? Biology, anyway, has something to do with seeds, and he bought these seeds by relying on university teachers." The third aunt gossiped, and Tao Ran casually said these news in the village, just to cover up the Shennong system a little.

"So it's different to study well. Like me, the person who sells vegetable seeds is a small street vendor in Yuanshan Town. I just suffered from ignorance. Even if my children don't want to go to school in the future, they have to take They called to school." Tao Jun kept moving his hands, and said with emotion while picking vegetables.

The third aunt laughed as soon as she heard it, Tao Jun looked over curiously, and the third aunt talked again.It turns out that since Taoyuan Village has supplied Taoyuan vegetables to the three middle schools, the students of the three schools have fallen into happiness ever since.But the good times didn't last long, and the students in the third grade of junior high school began to worry, and became jealous of their juniors.

As long as they think that they will graduate in half a year, and they will not be able to eat Taoyuan vegetables every day after graduation, they will be extremely worried.Every time I see the junior students in the first and second grades, I think they can eat a year or two more than me, and I can't help but look at them with jealous eyes.

These schoolmates also realized it, and told the teachers one after another, only then did the teachers discover the problem.After trying to find a way to ask clearly, it became a joke from all over the world, but everyone agreed with the thoughts of the third-year students.If it were them, they would not be able to help but complain.

"Then is there any solution discussed in the school now?" Tao Jun heard his mother mention it, and this time he heard the third aunt repeat it again, and still found it a little funny.

"I've never heard of this, but there must be a solution in the end." The third aunt said after she tied up the vegetables.

The two chatted and worked, and when Tao Jun's parents came over, they had already collected half of the food.Several people sorted out all the vegetables together, and transported them to the peach king tree together.

A group of people busily calculated how much money they had earned. A truck drove into Taoyuan Village, and the car was full of saplings.

Before the villagers of Taoyuan began to guess, Tao Ran went up to meet him and directed the driver to drive in the direction of his house, leaving only the villagers talking behind him.

"Hey, what kind of saplings did you say Tao Ran bought? I haven't heard him mention it."

"I saw that there were several kinds, but I didn't know what kind of sapling it was."

"Why are we talking so much here? Let's go and have a look. We can help Tao Ran plant the saplings."

As soon as this proposal came out, everyone agreed, collected the money in their hands, and left someone here to wait for the occasional people who came to buy vegetables, and they all walked in the direction of Tao Ran's house.

Walking there, Tao Ran was counting the saplings, and greeted them when he saw them.There are indeed many holes dug at the foot of Taoshan, and it seems that Tao Ran has already prepared them.Everyone gathered around to identify the saplings. There are several kinds of saplings.

"Isn't this pepper and Sichuan pepper? Tao Ran, why are you buying this?" Someone recognized the small tree next to it, which is the pepper and pepper that are usually used for seasoning.

There are children next to me who are very surprised. They don't know that pepper and pepper grow on trees.Hearing their childish talk, the adults nearby all laughed.These trees are not planted in Taoyuan Village. They usually go to Yuanshan Town to buy and dry them, but they also know that these things grow on trees, but they have never seen them with their own eyes.

"Didn't I think of this when I was grilling during the Chinese New Year? The taste of the seasoning is also very important, so I bought these trees and planned to plant them at the foot of the mountain. And this tree has thorns on it, so I don't have to worry about people running up the mountain. "Tao Ran took the time to answer.

He has long wanted to get these seasonings, whether it is barbecue, stir-fry or stew, they can be used.So I bought these saplings and watered them with Shennong Spring for a longer period of time, and the taste will become better.

The point is that Sichuan peppercorns and peppercorns can be a bit pungent when cooking, but these two trees are not very unpleasant.Especially the Zanthoxylum bungeanum, the taste is not only not pungent, but also has this special fragrance.The key is that pepper leaves can also be eaten. For Tao Ran, this means that the whole body is full of treasures.

These trees do not need to be taken care of carefully. Planting a circle at the foot of the mountain will become a natural fence to prevent people from running around on Taoshan.

"Why didn't you buy star anise and cumin?" Someone asked next to him. Apart from Chinese prickly ash and pepper, the only common seasonings in Taoyuan Village are star anise and cumin.

It's a pity that the requirements for planting star anise are relatively high, which is not suitable for the environment of Taoyuan Village. There are no saplings for sale near the distant mountains, so Tao Ran didn't buy them.

As for cumin, Tao Ran originally wanted to buy it, but he refreshed this product in the Shennong system store, so he bought it directly.Cumin is a herbaceous plant that grows in one year, so there is no need to worry about planting it from seeds.

Tao Ran directly explained that star anise is not suitable for planting here, and suitable saplings cannot be bought.The cumin is bought as seeds, and when the time comes, it will be fine to sprinkle one piece on the ground.

"This is a mulberry tree. Tao Ran wants to eat mulberry." Someone saw another batch of saplings, and after careful identification, they recognized it as a mulberry tree.

"I remember there were a few trees a few years ago. The children all climbed the trees to pick them, and they were all black. I remember Tao Ran was among those children." Tao Ran also remembered that he had hooked up his clothes at the time. Rotten, also learned to climb trees because of picking mulberries.

"It was a few years ago. It was more than ten years ago. It was Tao Shengning's house. Didn't the tree be cut down to build a house later?" Counting with his fingers, so much time has passed in a flash.

"That's because I remembered wrongly. I have a bad memory when I'm old."

Tao Ran was listening to them talking. The mulberry saplings he bought were not only used to eat mulberries, but were also planned to be used to raise silkworms.Besides, even if silkworms cannot be raised, the mulberry leaves are still edible.

A large group of people were noisy and did not stay idle, and they all helped dig the hole. Now the soil is just soft enough to dig without much effort.

Then the saplings were planted in, and even the children joined in the fun to help with watering. Everyone laughed and said that the Arbor Day had passed earlier.

After everything was planted, a large area of ​​pepper and pepper trees surrounded Taoshan, like the guards protecting the Shennong Temple, or the kind with thorns.

After planting the trees, the villagers of Taoyuan Village were about to go home. Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia hurriedly gave them the prepared strawberries as a thank you gift.People in the village usually invite a meal as thanks for helping, but today there are too many people helping, so I can only express my heart to them with their own delicious strawberries.

The villagers felt very comfortable holding strawberry and bamboo baskets. If not for everyone's willingness to help, there would be nothing wrong with their conduct.

When everyone is almost gone, those who stayed will know that they have something to say.
