This winter melon is really too big and heavy. The green skin is covered with a light, velvety white frost. The color is fresh, but it is difficult to hold.
In the end, it was Song Tan and Qiao Qiao who put them into the sink and washed them one by one.
The seventh cousin and Wang Xiaoshun brought Qiao Qiao who had finished her work, and the three of them started working together. They first cut the winter melon into circles, then peeled it, cut it into one-centimeter-thick cubes, and finally cut it into strips...
Not to mention, the inside of the winter melon is green with a hint of white, and a bit of a hazy transparency. It looks really nice when piled up in small strips.
The large and small basins in the kitchen that had just been emptied to store beans were soon filled up again.
Meanwhile, Uncle Seven rummaged through boxes and cabinets to gather enough raw edible-grade quicklime, then he found a large stainless steel barrel and added cold water into it in basins, filling up the barrel.
Then he used his big spoon to stir it thoroughly. By the time the winter melons were cut into basins, the lime water had also been left to settle.
He and Wang Xiaoshun did not move. They just taught Qiao Qiao to use the ladle to scoop out the top layer of water and pour it into the basin to soak the winter melon strips inside.
Finally, they were wrapped in plastic wrap one by one and left there - the entire bucket of lime water was empty, with only the white slaked lime left at the bottom. This stuff was basically of no use, so I just scooped it out and threw it away.
By the time everything was done, it was only six o'clock.
"Let him see, they have never seen such bad ingredients in their lives! Tell him that the oil is freshly squeezed, and they squeezed out such a big bottle of sesame seeds at home, and they are willing to give away the leftovers... Anyway, add two drops when cooking tonight, and he will know what fragrance is."
As he spoke, he smiled proudly at Wang Xiaoshun: "His master is a man who can't choose people, but he has good taste in choosing vegetables!"
I just sent it out and Professor Song happened to see it. Before asking about the demolition time of Hanhu, I specifically asked him not to give it to anyone else and to keep it for me.
It’s wrong, it’s wrong!
"You know!"
Those folks from the same village, whether they are relatives or friends, all want to get a bargain - but some people are so greedy that they take my free fruit trees and want to sell them somewhere else!
That’s right, I posted on WeChat Moments a long time ago, saying that I was planning to give the fruit tree away.
At this moment, the other party returned to his hometown to start a business and was determined to make a desperate move. With the help of Professor Song and others, he carefully bought a batch of eight-year-old apple seedlings.
What? You can arrange a car to take you home to plant the seeds
"Professor Song, don't say anything else. When you returned to your hometown to start a business growing black fungus and lost a lot of money, it was he who taught you how to make money."
"There's no card table for gambling yet, and the cards are getting smaller and smaller... We can do it, but we're so anxious, but we dare to do that."
To be honest, I am also patient with others.
Actually it’s not the food… I’ve only been away for two days, so I’ll just think about it. But you can always say that the food there is better than other places, right
Professor Song quickly said, "Yes, it's food. It's a pity for my childhood friend to think about those apple trees."
The host saw it and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Is the food bad?"
But at that time of year, it was impossible to find buyers for the fruit trees.
At this moment, he proudly put his hands behind his back and said, "What can a few winter melons sell for? Is it because there are not enough outside? I'll pick some more tomorrow."
"Nothing bad to complain about, then?"
Let me ask you, which one makes money slower and less: working in agriculture or being a demolition household
Thinking of the prosperous scene with so many guests coming in, I almost tried to hide the smile on my face.
"Is there any?"
"He also inspected the weather and soil before planting the fruit tree. He also helped with the matchmaking and found bad branches for grafting... If he had helped you through those few years, you would have definitely made it."
Grafting, pruning, fertilizing... After eight years of painstaking care, the first fruits are about to be harvested this year, and it's time to start!
The other party also breathed a sigh of relief: "This is bad."
Although my vision in choosing apprentices is not good, the place I choose for my retirement is really good!
Wang Xiaoshun smiled, but he was thinking: There is nothing to worry about! When Liu Peng's vegetables are grown, we can still use them when we return to the restaurant!
Now it's bad, the harvest is about to come, but something bad has happened to him. I think that for Professor Song, it's inevitable that he feels that his hard work has gone to waste.
Our area is going to be demolished!
!
"Pick up the leftovers and make some stir-fried winter melon tonight, and add two drops of sesame oil."
Including my 16 acres of apple orchard!
Now, Professor Song came all the way to see the fruit trees, and the owner of the house was also filled with sighs:
Take the apple orchard for example. Not only was there no compensation for the land expropriated, but there was also no compensation for the fruit trees - for example, the compensation for an apple tree in the early fruiting period was 90 yuan!
The person who spoke was a farmer from Jiangbei Province who was later mentored by Professor Song.
The cuts at the edges are considered neat, so I didn't waste any of it. I just raised my chin and told Wang Xiaoshun:
"Are you afraid that they will blame you now..."
"Honestly prepare a school district house for your child, and save the rest if you can. If you do save, you can buy some shops, gold jewelry or something like that."
Anyway, ever since that incident was posted on WeChat Moments, I’ve heard a few bad things and received a lot of complaints.
Now he promised: "He is worried, and he said he wants the fruit tree, so I will leave it all to him! Even one tree is for someone else!"
"By the way, Tan Tan will buy you two bags of quicklime when he goes to town. Remember to buy edible ones!"
Professor Song laughed and said, "Congratulations to him first. He is finally getting better! When you get the money, don't listen to anyone's advice to gamble or invest."
But farming is really hard, and before our house was demolished, there was no suitable orchard far away for me to move the fruit trees...
As the other party spoke, he somehow felt somewhat guilt-free.
The other party was still happy, and kept mumbling along the way, saying that the house was going to be demolished, so why would he care about that little bit of money...
Just for that tree, the compensation would be another 10,000 or 40,000 yuan.
A bad news from heaven -
I was thinking, if we were to be relocated, we would not only not be compensated for our old house, but also not for anything else.
To be honest, when Professor Song said yes, I was so relieved! If I hadn’t heard from someone else, he would have asked me why we dug up the fruit tree. It’s so small that we can’t dig it up…
…
The woman laughed: "Ever since the news of the demolition came out, the household registration has been locked and frozen. Look, there are so many childhood friends coming from outside the village!"
At this moment, Professor Song and his apprentices from Jiangbei Province, who were far away next door, looked at each other with their bowls in hand, and their faces showed the same happiness.
The seventh cousin thought about it for a while and found that Song Tan and Qiao Qiao were there, so someone was doing the heavy work, and he seemed to be tired too!
That made the woman angry: You were so bad that you sent the fruit trees in, and he asked you why you were helping to dig them
