Zhao Fangyuan wandered around the mountain for most of the day, feeling very satisfied, but still couldn't stop thinking about it.
After coming down the mountain, he felt so embarrassed that he locked himself in the room. It is worth mentioning that since there was no place to live at home, Qiao Qiao slept with his grandparents, and Zhao Fangyuan slept in his bedroom.
I'm going to work on the design drawings now, and measure the data in a few days. If I delay any longer, the house will really not be big enough to live in!
However, when she went to the mountain, she also reminded Song Tan that it was really time to plant something on both sides of the protective net.
If the golden cherries cannot be harvested in time, you can wait until next year. You can plant some other vegetables and fruits this year. At most, you just have to pay more attention.
Anyway, there are a few treasures here, and they can run all over the mountains and fields every day, so it won’t be a problem.
She thought about it, and then went down the mountain to find Zhang Yanping:
"Brother Yanping, if you can't find any golden cherries, forget it. I'll think of planting something else there."
"So what are you going to plant?"
Song Tan hesitated: "I haven't thought about it yet..."
Because the space is full of watermelon vines and peach trees, it is best to plant climbing vines and use a protective net to grow them.
My seventh cousin happened to pass by and thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter whether I plant cowpeas or pumpkins."
Coincidentally, Song Tan doesn't like to eat either of these two things.
What's more, there are several pumpkins planted at the door, and almost two mu of land in the field is planted with cowpeas.
The seventh cousin was also amused: "Don't say you don't like it, I didn't like it either."
It's not that they are picky about food, it's just that their past memories are too horrific.
When cowpeas are ripe, it is the hottest time of summer. You will sweat profusely just by cooking a dish, so naturally you will not be in the mood to try other dishes.
Unfortunately, there were very few mature vegetables in the vegetable garden during that period, except for one cowpea, which seemed like it would never be eaten up.
So I eat cowpeas in the morning, cowpeas at noon, and cowpeas in the evening. I hate eating them every day.
Who can like it if you eat it like this
As for pumpkin, I like it even less.
At that time, every household was not well-off, so naturally we couldn’t be picky about the taste of the food we ate. We definitely wouldn’t just pick the young pumpkins and stir-fry them, because we couldn’t bear to do that!
After all, old pumpkins grow long and large, so they save a lot of wheat bran and rice bran when feeding them to pigs.
If you want to feed someone...
Wang Lifen was particularly good at making pumpkin rice, which was said to be a little trick she learned to fill her stomach when she was a child.
But a pumpkin is so big, with a fat belly and a long neck. It’s not enough to cook a big pot of pumpkin rice, you have to continue eating it for two days.
Just ask who can bear it
Therefore, when Song Tan heard the suggestion of his seventh cousin, he was very resistant:
"Seventh cousin, I've already planted half of the field with cowpeas, so there's no need to plant any more. As for the pumpkin... maybe we can just switch to winter melon!"
"It will be all right."
The seventh cousin who made the suggestion was very casual: "Pumpkin flowers, pumpkin tips and small pumpkins are all delicious when stir-fried! Cowpeas can be used to make sour beans or dried beans. Sour beans can be stir-fried with minced meat and rice, and dried beans can be stewed with pork ribs and beef in winter... With the quality of your family, the demand is definitely in short supply."
"Winter melon is good too. It's big and tender when stir-fried. Not bad! I can slice it and dry it in the sun and eat it as stew for a long time in winter. But it weighs several dozen kilograms. If you want it to climb up, I'm afraid the vines won't be able to bear its weight..."
Song Tan: …
The yield of climbing vines is large and worry-free...
"Wouldn't it be nice to grow cherry tomatoes? They can also be grown as fruit."
It's her own land, and everything grown there is delicious. Of course, Seventh Cousin is not picky and acts as if he agrees with whatever you say.
But he was so reasonable that he prepared the menu in advance. People were drooling after hearing it. How could they have the heart to share the tomatoes
Song Tan thought about it and finally decided to replan the long boundary of the orchard. Then he discussed with Zhang Yanping and decided on a series of crops.
Who makes the choices as adults
Of course I want them all!
Anyway, the place is so big and the ditches have been dug. We can use part of it to grow some vegetables that we don’t have at home, and give the other part to those with high yields. Let’s make money this year first.
After all, it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a house!
However, it was a bit late to sow seeds at this time of year, so she called the store that sold watermelon seedlings before without saying anything:
"Uncle, do you know any company that grows vegetable seedlings of various types and good quality?"
The amount she wanted was not a small one, and no other family in the village could come up with it.
Even through the phone, I could hear the other party's loud and surprised voice: "Seedlings? I have them at home, just come and pick whatever you want!"
These watermelon seedlings can’t be sold from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, right
The uncle opposite was full of enthusiasm: "I have two greenhouses growing the popular succulents, which are popular among girls! Do you want to come and pick some?"
Song Tan: …
"Forget about the meat." Song Tan declined: "I just want something that I can eat and sell."
"Hey," the uncle was unhappy: "Although succulents can't be eaten, but if you grow them well, a big pot is also very expensive! I planted a big pot and it was bought for 500 yuan at the end of the year, which is not bad!"
The uncle tried his best to sell it. After all, succulents are much more expensive than vegetable seedlings.
Song Tan also laughed and delivered a fatal blow: "Uncle, no money."
The other side got stuck instantly.
Then he laughed again:
"How can you be a boss without money? Be humble!"
He looked like he had seen through everything, but he never mentioned the succulent plants again, for fear that even the seedlings would run away.
He quickly urged her: "I think it will be cloudy tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and it might rain. It's a good time to plant vegetables. Why don't you come and pick some now? I'll send them to you tomorrow morning."
Song Tan: …
What are you waiting for
The weather waits for no one!
Song Tan immediately grabbed the car keys:
"Dad, I'm going to check on the seedlings."
Only the seventh cousin was in high spirits: "Will we have to burn dozens more people tomorrow? Oh! I said this job is not easy..."
Seeing him eagerly spinning around in the yard, Grandma Qi thought: "Old man, don't I know you? You just like everyone to praise you."
Instead, Song Sancheng rushed out of the house in a hurry:
"Tan Tan! Don't leave in such a hurry. I'll call Master Zhang, the pig butcher. You can bring him here on your way back."
Song Tan became curious: "Master Zhang? A veterinarian? How much does it cost?"
Song Sancheng thought for a moment and said, "What veterinarian? A pig butcher! Have you forgotten? He used to butcher all our pigs."
But later on, the piglets were all castrated when they were young, and they were no longer seen at home.
"As for how much it costs... I didn't ask. I haven't hired him for many years. If you pick him up and drop him off, it will only cost about ten or twenty dollars."
Song Tan: …!
!
"Ten or twenty dollars? Is that enough for the anesthesia?"
"What kind of anesthetic?" Song Sancheng laughed, "Why would you need this precious thing? Just grab it with its four legs and scratch it with a knife!"
