Listening to Daughter-in-law

After the Lantern Festival, everyone in the village is busy hoeing and fertilizing the fields, preparing for spring plowing.Zhang Dahu has also been busy fertilizing the fields these days. Qin Zhong reorganized the fields at home. The fields by the river are planted with rice, and other fields are planted with corn, sorghum, beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes, Qin Zhong. Zhong asked for a piece of land where he planted mung beans and sesame seeds. The vegetable plot was also planted with the usual vegetables, except that Qin Zhong set aside a piece of sandy land to grow watermelons. Qin Zhong didn't like melons, so he only planted a small plot of land.Fertilize the fields that need to be fertilized, and the fields that need to loosen the soil. The yard of Qin Zhong’s house is 200 meters to the right of the river. Qin Zhong asked Zhang Dahu to dig a square pond with a length of 20 meters and a width of [-] meters by the river. Deep, Qin Zhong wanted to raise some small fish and plant some lotus flowers in it, and open another acre of land next to the pond to grow taro.

When Zhang Dahu was working the field outside, Qin Zhong planned the soil in the yard. Since there was vegetable soil outside, Qin Zhong no longer wanted to grow vegetables at home. Qin Zhong wanted to plant apple trees in the mountain in the backyard. Peppers were also planted in the backyard. Qin Zhong thought about the tomato seeds he had collected last year and planted them this year. The four pots had a little less fruit and were not enough to eat. So he transplanted grapes from the mountains in the front yard and fixed the shelves. I also placed some tables and chairs under the grape trellis, so that it is very comfortable to enjoy the cool in summer.Now the pigsty and the chicken coop are still empty. Qin Zhong thought that he might raise chickens and ducks in the future, which would smell bad in summer. Some flowers in the fence can cover up the smell, and it is convenient to fertilize the flowers. He also needs to plant some flowers and plants to repel mosquitoes. , Qin Zhong is the most attracted to mosquito bites, and he also hates mosquitoes the most, so he asked Xiaoyan, which flowers and plants are fragrant, and those flowers and plants can repel mosquitoes, Xiaoyan said some main flowers and plants, Qin Zhong carefully asked about the shape and smell of flowers, and finally decided He bought tuberose, fly-repelling plum and seven lixiang. Qin Zhong thought that evening primrose had a strong fragrance, so he planted it next to the pigsty. The leaves are small and bright, the flowers are white and dense, and they can bear red berries after flowering. The plant shape that is often pruned is beautiful and generous. Qin Zhong planted it around the fence, and the branches, leaves and flowers of the fly plum can volatilize mosquito sensitive. The smell has a strong effect of repelling mosquitoes and flies, and has no harm to the human body.

Suitable for indoors.Moreover, it not only has a good effect of repelling mosquitoes and flies, but also has beautiful colors. The flowers are red, yellow, white and other colors. By the window, it is also pleasing to the eye.Qin Zhong asked Xiaoyan to help him buy it.

When Dahu put all the fertilizer on the ground, he began to select seeds. Only then did Qin Zhong realize how rough the people in this place are in farming. Just grab it and scatter it in the field. As for the good harvest, Qin Zhong can only say that God rewarded the food.Qin Zhong knew that there were not many ways to select seeds, but he soaked the purchased seeds in a certain proportion of salt water, fished out the seeds that sank to the bottom, and dried them in the sun, because rice seeds had to germinate first before being transplanted into the field.

People in Sixi Village do not grow rice for this reason. The germination rate of rice seeds is low, and the yield is not high when planted in the field.Qin Zhong racked his brains to think about how to germinate rice seeds in his previous life!A student of biology knows that the conditions for seeds to germinate are nothing more than water, oxygen and temperature. Qin Zhong fumbled to soak the selected dried seeds in clean water for a day, picked them up, packed them in a cloth bag, soaked them in warm water overnight, and lifted the water surface slightly the next morning. Filter and dry, pile up in a place with high temperature and moisten to promote ventilation and breathing, soak in warm water overnight on the second and third nights, and extract moisture during the day as usual.

So repeated three times, the germination rate is also impressive!Zhang Dahu is still not sloppy in farming. Seeing that Qin Zhong's tinkering is useful, he is very confident in the rice planted by his family this year, and he also imitated the wheat seeds in the same way!Qin Zhong said to Dahu again, you can't throw in the potatoes one by one, you must ensure that there is a sprout eye on each piece of potato, Zhang Dahu nodded yes.

After being busy for a while, and finally getting the fields in order, Qin Zhong urged Dahu to go up the mountain to bring home the treasure he had set his eyes on last year. While going up the mountain, Zhang Dahu pointed to some bushes that had begun to bloom. Tell Qin Zhong what kind of wild fruit it is, and you can eat it after a while!He went to pick it and told Qin Zhong, Qin Zhong nodded, the apple tree was too big, and Dahu said that he would have to bring a leopard tomorrow to drag it back, so Qin Zhong had no choice but to bring back the roots and seedlings of the mountain pepper, and he even collected forty or fifty stalks .Qin Zhong still thought about digging bamboo shoots,

Stepping on the mushrooms, Dui smiled wryly, "Daughter-in-law, if you want those things, at least you have to wait for a few spring rains before talking about it!"On the way home, Qin Zhong chose a few apple trees that had begun to bear fruit, but the fruit was small and unpalatable. Zhang Dahu dug them back and planted them in the yard, so that they could be hybridized with the tree that produced good fruit. grafting.

After the trees were arranged, the vegetable soil in Qin Zhong's backyard was also prepared, the transplanted peppers were lined up, and tomato seeds were sprinkled on the other soil, and a place without shade from big trees was specially selected. Tomatoes like the sun. .Xiaoyan also brought the flower seeds, and Qilixiang was some small plants. Qin Zhong was busy for a long time before he planted all the flowers!Qin Zhong couldn't do the manure spreading in the fields, so he had to do something at home. Zhang Dahu had no objection, anyway, he used to do it by himself, but every day when he came home, he could feel the changes at home. Delicious food for himself, Zhang Dahu felt that since his father died, this house could finally be called his home again!When sleeping at night, Qin Zhong often complained that his arm hurts. After all, he was doing real things. When Du Hu squeezed his arm, he also felt very distressed. He said that he should not do it. It would be the same as waiting for him to do it. Qin Zhong laughed, "" This is my home too!" Zhang Dahu embraced Qin Zhong excitedly when he heard the words, and searched for Qin Zhong's mouth indiscriminately. Scratch, Qin Zhong forbids him to kiss!But at this time, Qin Zhong could no longer care about Dug's beard piercing him. He was kissed deeply and continuously, and the saliva flowed down the corner of his mouth uncontrollably. Between the kisses, there was only a small breath of breathing time. It's about to explode, my head is about to explode, what did he say?Did Zhang Dahu want to kiss him to death?

The next day, Qin Zhong saw a red mark around his mouth. He thought he was pricked by a beard, and his lips were swollen from being kissed. How could I go out to meet people?Qin Zhong kicked Zhang Dahu several times, Zhang Dahu knew he was wronged, so he had to accept it obediently!It was originally agreed that today I would go to buy piglets, but this time Qin Zhong couldn't go, so Zhang Dahu went and bought two gilts, one pink and the other black and white, Qin Zhong saw Piggy, be happy, busy cooking a pot of mush to feed the pigs, and instructing Zhang Dahu to buy chickens and ducklings, the rabbits don’t have to buy them if they have them at home!Qin Zhong still wanted to buy a lamb back, but the lamb was precious, so Qin Zhong had no choice but to give up!

After a few episodes of rain, Xiaoyan came to ask Qin Zhong to dig bamboo shoots. Qin Zhong changed into Dahu's old clothes. Zhang Dahu's clothes were all cotton and linen, and the ones he bought for Qin Zhong were all silk. Good-looking is good-looking, but you are afraid of breaking things when you do things. You can just pay attention to it at home. Now it’s better to change when you go up the mountain!After changing his clothes, he followed Xiaoyan up the mountain. The mountain he went up this time was not the one behind Qin Zhong's house, but another small hillside where the bamboos were flourishing.Qin Zhong and Xiaoyan dug separately, and exchanged a few words from time to time. Qin Zhong thought that sliced ​​fresh bamboo shoots could be used for stir-fried meat slices, soup, and kimchi. Qin Zhong himself liked to eat dried bamboo shoots. When it was full, he greeted him to go back. Qin Zhong said that he would come to dig the next day, but Xiaoyan said: "Why dig so much!"

Qin Zhong said that it can be eaten as kimchi!Xiaoyan looked at Qin Zhong's excited expression and said, "Qin Zhong, did you have a hard life before! I found that you have a deep obsession with food." Qin Zhong laughed dryly, did he have a hard life?of course not.But I am really obsessed with food.Qin Zhong thought to the times, it was because he was in this era, there was no 24-hour supermarket, so he was afraid that he would not be able to eat, so he was so persistent!Qin Zhong thought that he should not be greedy yet, so leave him alone!

After returning home, Qin Zhong cooked a table of bamboo shoot feast, including sliced ​​bamboo shoot meat, fried sausage with bamboo shoots, meatball soup with bamboo shoots, and dumplings stuffed with fresh bamboo shoots and meat, fried in oil and then stewed until cooked. Hu unexpectedly loves to eat, and after eating, he will take a few afternoons to the fields to eat.Qin Zhong wrapped it up for him. There was still some left over from what he dug up today. He peeled it and cut it into a hob shape, and put it in a jar of acidic water. Leave him alone!On the second day, Japan said not to dig bamboo shoots, Xiaoyan also followed Qin Zhong, saying that yesterday Leopard and his father ate the dumplings brought by Dahu, and only praised Qin Zhong for his ability, but his mother trained him in the middle of the night For a meal, I said that I am delicious and difficult to cook, and I don’t know how to cook.Qin Zhong comforted him with a smile and said, "It's okay, your leopard is capable." Xiaoyan grabbed a piece of grass and chewed it in his mouth. He should be so lucky! This is a situation we haven't encountered before."

Qin Zhong lowered his head and thought for a while, "Then come to my house today and learn to cook from me! Anyway, I cook lazy dishes, so it's not difficult." Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly. Qin Zhong said with a teasing smile, " Then when you go home, tell Leopard that if you burn the kitchen, you will be compensated according to the price!" Xiaoyan threw Qin Zhong with the young bamboo shoots he dug out.

Xiaoyan said to learn to cook, but the official start will start tomorrow, Qin Zhong ignored him, saved some of the dug bamboo shoots to make dumpling stuffing, and cut up the rest to dry in the sun to make dried bamboo shoots.All kinds of wild vegetables came out in spring, and there were a lot of other fresh foods. Fortunately, everything at home was pretty much the same, so Qin Zhong could concentrate on making delicious food.Zhang Dahu was very happy during this time!Let’s not talk about enjoying the stomach, but the snacks I bring every day can attract envious eyes!It is obviously the same wild vegetable, but the taste is different when it is cooked!Zhang Dahu is very happy to show the virtuousness of his wife!There are not many men and women in Sixi Village who get married. Duo knows that there are still many mothers-in-law and aunts who say bad things about men and women behind their backs. He just wants everyone to know that his wife is more capable than ordinary women!He married a male wife and lived a very good and happy life!
