The charm of tobacco is infinite.
The two old men used both firewood and coal to make a raging fire, just wanting to dry out the house as quickly as possible and then put their precious tobacco leaves in.
It's not even summer yet, but everyone in the yard is sweating profusely. It's really lively.
But Uncle Seven was very demanding and would go into the room from time to time to feel it: "It's still a little damp, let's bake it again."
In order to achieve the best effect of the tobacco leaves, Song Youde did not dare to be perfunctory even if it was the tender leaves picked from the top, and added two more pieces of firewood at this moment.
Song Tan wandered around, but he always felt that the empty house was not right, so he simply suggested:
"How about... the room is empty anyway, so smoke the sausages and hang the bacon. If that doesn't work, seventh cousin, you can hang two more roast ducks in the hanging oven. And how about two pieces of crispy pork belly?"
"There's some meat frozen in the fridge. It should still be in time to thaw it out now."
Good job!
When these words were spoken, the eyes of the non-smokers in the family lit up, except for the seventh cousin and Song Youde, who were stunned.
Then Song Youde jumped up and down: "No! There are so many meats hanging in that room, what's the smell? Can I still use the tobacco leaves I roasted?"
"Why can't I have it?"
Song Tan argued: "Smoking is harmful to health anyway, so it doesn't matter if you smoke a little more or a little less. What's more, you can smoke while eating roast duck, sausage, bacon, and crispy pork belly. How delicious!"
It was obvious that my granddaughter had bad intentions.
Song Youde looked at her with a look of caution as if he were watching out for a thief. Then he stood at the door of the oven vaguely:
"I'm telling you, you are not allowed to put any of the stuff you mentioned in there! Wait until my tobacco leaves are roasted, and then you can smoke whatever you want in there yourself."
"Besides, roast duck and pork belly are not made this way! You are deliberately making trouble. It won't be smoked if it is hung in this room. Right, his cousin?"
Uncle Seven nodded vigorously: "Qiao Qiao, do you think the temperature of this room is suitable for making those things?"
However, the good disciple Qiao Qiao was still angry - he had said that smoking was harmful to health, and it was written in such large letters on the box, but no one paid any attention to him!
He shouldn't pay any attention to them!
He simply snorted, turned around and went into the house.
He has to write 10 big characters and 5 sets of arithmetic operations tonight, he is busy!
…
On the other side, the head of the engineering team finally came to the excavator boy again under the cover of night after everyone had dinner.
He said earnestly, "Look, our dinner is pretty good, isn't it? Stir-fried pork with cucumber, and the meat is pork belly! Very fragrant. There's also tomato egg soup and spicy fried chicken - go and have a look, you won't find a construction site in the whole city that has food as good as mine, tell me, why are you still thinking about other people's meals?"
"Let me ask you," the person in charge patiently said, "What is the purpose of making money?"
The young man said seriously: "To eat delicious food."
Person in charge: …
You are a foodie!
!
"What's delicious? Why are you so picky? Let me tell you, the purpose of making money is to live!
!”
"Tell me, is it hard for you to work? How can it be so difficult? You earn so little money all year round, but you don't save it for living, and you just want to spend it on food. How can you spend it so much? Are you not married yet?"
He snorted, "I've seen a lot of guys like you who spend money lavishly. I tell you, when you run out of money for your wedding, you'll just cry."
Making money is hard, but...
The excavator boy was still unwilling to give in: "But their food is really delicious..."
The foreman didn't believe this.
Farmhouse food is only so good, their big pot dishes are definitely inferior. But for this reason, it's not worth the extra money.
Before the construction started, according to the rules, this family should have treated him to a meal, but the person in charge had a construction site to finish and was in a hurry and refused.
Thinking about it again and looking at the dark-skinned boy's greed, he felt a little regretful for some reason.
However, this picky attitude towards food cannot be indulged!
There are so many workers on the construction site. What if he complains a little later that everyone is still dissatisfied with the current food
"So..." The person in charge hesitated for a moment and said, "You are greedy. Why don't you go to town tomorrow and buy some sweet food to satisfy your hunger."
"By the way, there's a cherry tree at the door. The family has repeatedly told us to wait until the cherries are ripe before digging them out and transplanting them... Why don't you go pick some tomorrow? I think this family is generous and they will definitely not say anything."
The cherry tree in front of Song Tan's house was just a small seedling when Song Sancheng bought it, but it is quite old now.
I don't know what kind of cherry it is, it's short, but the cherries it produces every year are big, round, and plump. They are sweet and juicy, with thick flesh and small cores, and bright colors. They are simply the only good cherries in the area!
When the house was being built this time, the cherries were still green. My family was reluctant to part with them, so they specifically asked them to wait until they were ripe, then dig up the cherry trees and transplant them to another location.
This request was normal, so the person in charge agreed immediately. After all, it was not on the main road, so it would not be a problem.
As the cherries grow bigger and bigger, chirping birds gather on the branches early every morning, and they still fly around them even though they are not ripe yet.
Song Sancheng saw that things were not looking good, so he quickly asked Song Tan to buy a green net and put it over his head!
Well, the bird can’t eat a single bite.
Seeing that the stars at the top that received the most sunlight had already turned slightly red, the person in charge would take a look at them whenever he passed by.
There is no other reason, it is really rare to find fruit trees that grow so vigorously.
Speaking of which, although Yunqiao Village looks remote, it might actually be a good place with many talented people and beautiful scenery.
Look at the trees in front of and behind the house. They are thick and shiny, and each one looks full of vitality.
They were demolishing a house here and had just finished clearing the rubble the day before. The next morning, the ditch they had dug was filled with a row of gray-haired squirrels.
My goodness, if he hadn’t mistaken the color, he would have thought it was Wong Tai Sin’s lair.
Of course, the group of squirrels circled the ground and soon disappeared into the back mountain, but this incident made the person in charge more cautious.
Those who build houses have some unscientific space in their hearts.
At this moment, he spent a lot of time talking to the young man under his command.
But for some reason, when I thought of the ripe red cherry hidden among the green leaves that I saw during the day, I couldn't help but drool.
It was getting dark now, and he felt too embarrassed to look at it any longer, so he decided to go over and take a look at the saliva tomorrow.
But these cherries seemed to have magic, making him greedy for them in an instant and he couldn't stop!
then-
After sending the dark-skinned young man into the shed next door to sleep, the person in charge thought for a moment and walked towards the cherry tree with a flashlight.
