Chapter 107 Pumpkin Blossom
After the fermented black bean leaves were washed and the mother and daughter finished their conversation, Mother Lin helped to watch the soybeans cooking in the pot, while Lin Yunchu went to the vegetable patch in the backyard to pick some vegetables for dinner and to check out the pepper seedlings that had been planted earlier.
The vegetable garden was full of greenery, with all kinds of vegetables, fruits and melons hanging on the branches.
The climbing frame is full of well-grown beans and cucumbers, the pumpkin tips are fat and strong, and the eyes are full of yellow pumpkin flowers.
There were also a few bees busy collecting nectar around the flower buds, and many of them had produced pumpkins, but they looked only the size of a palm, so it would take some time before they could be eaten.
It's obvious that Mother Lin takes good care of this vegetable garden. Many of the peppers that were planted last time have already produced small flowers. Judging from this situation, there will be no need to worry about the peppers for Yipintang in a few days.
A few days ago, Lin's father and Lin Changshun and others had already planted a new batch of pepper seedlings in the newly purchased land. Now, there was no need for Lin Yunchu to tell them, as they all knew what to do.
Moreover, the family had just bought some land, and everyone was full of energy every day. Father Lin and his companions were almost always busy, and if they had some free time, they would be seen nowhere to be found, which meant they must have gone to the fields.
Now that there are more fields at home, it always takes some effort to fertilize and weed, but we don’t complain about being tired and are happy all day long.
Originally, Lin Yunchu thought that he would be too busy during the spring plowing and autumn harvest, so he would ask someone to help for a few days. Although it would cost some money, it was better than having his own family members busy themselves and getting sick.
Father Lin was so shocked that he waved his hands to refuse. This was just the beginning. He could handle a few more acres of land. He was happy to have more land at home.
He is very motivated and doesn't feel tired at all when doing the work.
And even if they are too busy to handle it themselves, Lin Qingshan's family will come and help. Now is not the time to hire anyone to take care of these fields.
When the Lin family's life gets better in the future, they can buy more land. When they are really too busy to handle everything, it won't be too late to think about hiring people.
Lin Yunchu did not object. Looking at the appearance of Lin's father and the others, although they were a little tired, they were full of energy every day and in good spirits, so he did not mention the matter again.
Lin Yunchu walked around the pepper field carefully, and nodded with satisfaction after seeing that the growth was indeed good.
I picked some beans and pumpkin flowers and then returned to the front yard.
"Yun Chu, why did you pick all these flowers? We can't eat them, and these are for growing pumpkins."
Looking at the big bunch of pumpkin flowers in Lin Yunchu's hand, Lin's mother's eyes were full of heartache. How many pumpkins would be produced?
This pumpkin is easy to store. When it matures in autumn, pick it and place it in a ventilated place in the house. It can keep for a long time.
Lin Yunchu put the beans and pumpkin flowers in his hand into the basin. While fetching water to wash the vegetables, he explained to his mother, "Mom, these pumpkin flowers are edible. They make a delicious soup. I'll make it tonight for you all to try."
He picked up the bucket of water and poured it into the basin with a "splash", splashing a lot of water.
"And the pumpkin flowers I picked won't produce pumpkins, so don't worry."
Lin Yunchu then taught Lin's mother how to distinguish between female and male flowers, which left Lin's mother stunned.
"Why are there so many details about pumpkin blossoms?"
After listening to this, Lin's mother muttered to herself for a long time, picked up the pumpkin flowers that Lin Yunchu picked, and it seemed that what she said was exactly the same.
Lin Yunchu didn't say anything else. The soybeans in the kitchen should be almost done.
After washing the freshly picked vegetables, pick the beans and bring them into the kitchen.
I put the big bone sticks I bought in town today into the pot and started cooking them, then took the cooked soybeans out of the kitchen.
When Lin's mother saw Lin Yunchu's actions, she quickly took out the dried fermented black bean leaves and helped Lin Yunchu make fermented black beans.
After the two of them finished their work, Lin's father and the others had not returned yet. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yunchu hurried to prepare dinner.
Lin Yunchu grabbed some dried bamboo shoots and soaked them in water, then took out the pork belly, rinsed it with water, and then sliced it.
After heating up the pot, they started to cook dinner. Lin's mother had finished her work and was helping to light the fire in the kitchen while chatting with Lin Yunchu.
"Your father must be working in the fields and he doesn't want to come back. Now that we have more land, your father is very happy. He even thinks about working in the fields in his dreams at night."
In the past, the Lin family did not have much land, and after paying the public grain tax in the autumn harvest every year, there was not much left, and the food was only enough to barely fill them half full.
Now that the Lin family has bought land, there will be enough food for the whole family. However, Lin's father is not happy about this. Even when he has nothing to do, he has to go to the fields and take a look at the crops before he feels at ease.
"As long as Dad is happy and not tired, that's all."
Lin Yunchu was stir-frying the pork belly in the pot while talking. A lot of oil had already come out of the pot, and the pork belly had turned into a crispy golden color.
Lin Yunchu took the chopped ginger and garlic and poured them into the pot, stir-frying them for a few times. The aroma of meat in the kitchen suddenly became stronger.
Then pour the beans you just broke into the pot, stir-fry until they change color, then add salt and seasonings, stir-fry evenly, pour in clean water, cover and simmer.
"Your father wouldn't complain about being tired. He would rather live in the fields and watch over the crops all day long to feel at ease."
Mother Lin smiled and joked. She was very happy that the family had so much more land. Thinking that there would be enough food for the family next year, her expression relaxed a lot.
Lin Yunchu took out the dried bamboo shoots that had just been soaked, cleaned them, cut them into sections, poured them into the bone soup that was almost cooked, added salt, stirred it, and then covered the lid.
At this time, the stewed beans had already emitted a strong aroma. Lin Yunchu opened the lid and found that the water was almost boiled dry.
Seeing that it was cooked, Lin Yunchu stir-fried it a few times and took a clean bowl to serve the cooked pork belly and beans.
Just as Lin's mother was about to take the cooked dishes out, she heard a noise coming from the yard.
"I guess your father and the others are back. I'll go out and take a look first."
Lin Yunchu nodded and quickened his pace. He chopped the garlic and quickly stir-fried the pumpkin flowers until cooked.
Then he fried a plate of sauerkraut.
"Sister, what delicious food are you making tonight? It smells so good."
Lin Changan washed his hands and went into the kitchen. He excitedly said to Lin Yunchu as if he was presenting a treasure, "Sister, look at what this is?"
Lin Yunchu put out the fire and then looked up, and saw Lin Changan holding a handful of red fruits in his hands.
This is?
Wild dates!
They looked round and about the same size as loquats. I didn’t expect Lin Changan to pick these.
"I just met them on the way back. I came back late because I was picking these fruits. Sister, I have washed them clean. Come and have a taste."
Lin Changan grinned at Lin Yunchu and handed her the washed wild dates with both hands.
