"Pickup trucks are still the best!"
Song Sancheng put the tree trunk with the fungus in it into the bed of the pickup truck and finally acknowledged Song Tan's vision.
This tree trunk is about 1.2 meters long. How many can be stuffed into a van? And it has to be a pickup truck! It is convenient to load.
Qiao Qiao looked expectantly at the truckload of tree trunks, then at his grandfather's bare yard, his fair face covered in sweat:
"Have you finished moving? Can Qiao Qiao take a rest? I'm so tired!"
"Why are you so tired?"
Song Sancheng looked at him disapprovingly: "Strength belongs to slaves, use it up and come back! When your father was your age, he would cut rice and plant rice seedlings all day without even looking up!"
Wulan felt sorry for her son and glared at him: "You have suffered since childhood, but my son has never suffered that."
Turning back to look at Qiao Qiao who was in tears:
"Be good, ignore your dad. Look at your sister. If Qiao Qiao hadn't helped her, she would have had a hard time. Our Qiao Qiao eats three big bowls of food in one meal. We can't waste it. We have to turn it into energy and use it up. Only in this way can we have a healthy body!"
"Look at you, you didn't eat so much before, and mom didn't ask you to do so much work, right?"
Qiao Qiao opened her mouth, but couldn't think of any rebuttal. She was reluctant to eat only two bowls of rice, so she had to sit on the passenger seat in aggrieved manner.
He can now ride in a car and fasten his seat belt by himself.
"Sister, have I finished my work?"
Song Tan touched his head—his hands were covered in sweat.
So he coaxed her, "My dear, when we get to the mountain, just put these tree trunks in order. Can Qiao Qiao still do it?"
The tree trunks planted with fungi were pulled up the mountain by my family members in the past two days. They were placed vertically, crossed, and arranged in an inverted V shape. This job is not hard, but there are many tree trunks, and it is tiring to move back and forth.
But Song Tan is very strong now. She can hug seven or eight tree trunks that are 1.2 meters long and 15 centimeters in diameter at a time, and she can move very fast, so in the end Qiao Qiao was only responsible for carrying them up.
He was stupid, and Ulan had basically never let him do anything because she was afraid he would get hurt accidentally.
After Song Tan came back, because he often ate wild vegetables during the day and practiced cultivation at night, the family ate well and slept soundly every day. They had three bowls of dry rice for a meal. Wu Lan felt it was a great loss not to have to use such a good and strong laborer!
Look, I am slowly and tentatively adding to the burden.
Qiao Qiao then puffed out his chest and said, "Qiao Qiao can do it! Qiao Qiao is better than daddy!"
Song Sancheng and Wu Lan, who had just gotten on the back seat, glanced at him and thought, you silly boy, you haven't done as much as your sister!
Just bragging!
It took the group of people until noon to finally set up the tree trunks.
It is now late March, the grass is green and the birds are singing. The chestnut trees in the woods have not yet spread out their leaves, and the sun is shining down, bringing warmth.
The tree trunks that have just been dried in the sun are also particularly beautiful.
But Song Sancheng was worried—
"That won't do. You can't dry freshly grown mushrooms like this."
"Tan Tan, these fungi need to be covered with straw to keep them warm. Otherwise, the temperature difference between morning and night will be too big, the water will disperse too quickly, and the fungus won't grow."
"I also need to buy a shade net to cover the straw for ventilation and moisture retention..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Did the expert you consulted before tell you anything else to pay attention to? This is the first time we're doing something on such a large scale, and I'm a little nervous."
Their family only planted some of them more than ten years ago, and at that time they just placed the tree trunks in the house.
But the cost of each of the tree trunks on the hillside is twenty yuan. Even if the tree trunks themselves are free, it would still cost tens of thousands of yuan to clean up the hillside and put up the net.
Now Song Sancheng is becoming more and more uncertain the more he thinks about it.
Wu Lan was quick-witted. She thought for a while and said, "Tan Tan, you've been back for more than half a month. How about we go to your grandma's house this afternoon?"
"No one in our village grows rice anymore, but your grandma's land still has rice and wheat. Let's go get some hay and cover these fungus seeds."
"Also, now that the weather is warmer, it's time to bring the piglets home, and we need to prepare more straw for the pigsty."
It can keep you warm when you sleep at night, and when it gets dirty, you can just throw it into the manure pit, where it can ferment. The straw plays an important role in keeping the pigsty clean and fresh.
Other weeds are fine, but nowadays, piles of hay are hard to find.
Okay.
Song Tan had been planning to visit her grandma during this period. She checked the time and said, "Mom, let's go back and have a simple meal first. Then Qiao Qiao and I will get some more wild vegetables to bring over and let grandma and the others have a taste."
“Bring wild vegetables?”
Even though they are her own children, Wulan couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she thought about the twenty yuan per pound. But despite the heartache, she still gave some advice: "Your grandparents are old and like to eat soft food. You can get more shepherd's purse, and we can go to the town to buy some meat. I will make dumplings for them in the afternoon."
"The rest are fresh to eat. You don't need to bring so much. Just share some with your uncle."
When I think of my brother, I can't help but think of my sister: "Your aunt has gone to the city to take care of her grandson. Next time you sell vegetables, just leave some for her and send it over."
These words made the arrangements for the family members clear. Song Sancheng thought about it and hesitated, "Then...what about Tan Tan's aunt and uncle?"
Wu Lan rolled her eyes at him and said, "How can I say no?"
The more I think about it, the more heartbroken I feel. Just for this casual gift, I've lost thousands of dollars.
He could only look at his daughter eagerly: "I see wild vegetables have sprouted in other parts of the village. How about I go dig some this afternoon to try? If they taste this good this year, we won't have to worry about the spring."
Why bother planting crops? You can make back your investment just by growing wild vegetables.
Song Tan was speechless.
She has only been practicing for a few days
There is a limit to the amount of spiritual energy.
The stingy old farmer didn’t give any extra money because the land didn’t belong to him!
If her mother wants to try it, let her try it. Farming is a mysterious thing anyway, so let her try it as she pleases.
but…
"Mom, you might as well go and take a look. We pick these wild vegetables every day, but there aren't many left now. We won't sell wild vegetables starting tomorrow. Let's get up early and pick them up. I'll drive directly to the city at noon."
Also give wild vegetables a way out.
In addition, the leaves of the sweet vetch in the field are tender and are about to bloom. If you control the spiritual energy a little and extend the growing period, they will be the most delicious when picked at this time.
Whether it is eaten cold or stir-fried, it is very sweet and refreshing, and with such a large piece of land, it can be sold for a while.
There are also her videos. I collected a lot of material before. But it's not shocking enough and not enough to edit into one episode. I'll save more and it will be enough.
Alas, if it had been a local hit, she wouldn’t have to worry so much about online traffic—it’s all the fault of those aunties.
Everyone was so proud of what they had that they kept her treasure stall hidden away tightly, so after half a month of selling vegetables, there were only 28 members in the group.
This is a vegetable grown with spiritual energy!
Fairy Tan Tan was very unconvinced.
