Farming from the end of the world

Not long after the earthworms he ordered arrived, he bought two large plastic tanks from the county and placed them next to the chicken coop. He put the fermented chicken manure and earthworms in, poured some water to keep the tanks moist, and then used A roll of straw mat covers the mouth of the tank.

He packed the unused chicken manure in snakeskin bags, and the insulation room was vacated again. He spent a lot of time cleaning up a lot of chicken manure, treated it with a starter, and fermented it quietly.

Now that there are more and more things on the mountain, Chen Guo plans to build a warehouse. It doesn't need to be strict, as long as it is rainproof.

The firewood, earthworm tanks, and chicken manure used in the heat preservation room cannot be exposed to rain. Now it is only a little rain and can be covered with tarpaulins. After a few months, it will not work in the rainy season when it rains every day.

Now that Zhao Quan was busy building a homestay, Chen Guo didn't want to bother him, so he went to the city to buy some hollow bricks and asbestos tiles.Relying on the memory of building the heat preservation room and chicken coop with Zhao Quan, a simple small warehouse was built little by little next to the heat preservation room.

It can shelter from the wind and rain, and it is still spacious and firm, even if you put a bed here to sleep.In addition to chicken manure, earthworm tanks, and firewood, Chen Guo also moved corn and grinders here.

It was already April.

Just after building the small warehouse, he went to the county to buy some corn seeds, soaked them in water to accelerate germination, and at the same time turned over the field next to the chicken coop and sprinkled chicken manure.

After digging out the field ridges with an interval of half a meter, Chen Guo sprinkled corn seeds with small roots in the field ridges, and put about three seeds at an interval of [-] centimeters.

After placing the seeds, cover them with thin soil, water them thoroughly, and wait for them to grow a little before thinning them out.

In order to shoot, he chose to do these jobs on weekends.

After everything was done, he called Zhou Lu who was about to turn off the camera: "Don't turn it off yet, go take a picture of the mulberry tree."

"Mulberry tree?" Zhou Lv was puzzled.

"The mulberry fruit has grown, but it's not red enough." Chen Guo, who came out of the ground, washed his hands and feet by the pool, and led him around to the small mulberry forest.

Although many young leaves were eaten by Chen Guo as a dish, there are 100 mulberry trees after all, and the surviving young shoots have grown into large green leaves, lush and lush.

Under the large green leaves, there are small fruits hidden.

"There are so many fruits!" Zhou Lu, who hadn't been here for a long time, was shocked. Although these mulberries were not yet ripe, most of them were still light red, but there were a lot of fruits on each branch.

"At that time, I bought a variety with a large amount of fruit. This year, there was plenty of rain, and I often fertilized it, which is normal." Chen Guo took a bit of pride, picked a deep red mulberry and threw it into her mouth, but it was so sour. He frowned.

"It will be almost ripe next week." Looking at the mulberry trees full of fruits, he was a little embarrassed, "There are too many, I can't finish it, and this thing is not durable to storage, even if it is put in the refrigerator for a short time, it will lose its taste gone."

"Dry it in the sun, make jam, and make fruit wine." Zhou Lv didn't think it was any trouble, and directly gave his own solution.

Chen Guo suddenly realized, and immediately handed over the task to Zhou Lu: "Great, then come back early next weekend."

Zhou Lv originally planned to fight on his own, but he wanted to see Chen Guo's troubled expression again, so he suddenly became ill-intentioned and pretended to hesitate: "But I have an appointment with a classmate next weekend."

"Ah?" Chen Guo was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately put on a clear smile, "Dating a classmate...on a date?"

Zhou Lu's face immediately pulled down, and he lowered his head to play with the camera: "No."

Chen Guo thought he was shy, and poked him with her elbow: "There's nothing to be ashamed about. You guys are at the age when you have your first love. It's normal to fall in love."

Zhou Lu didn't speak, his heart was sore and bitter, and he didn't know what expression to make.

Chen Guo continued to ask with the mentality of watching the excitement: "Who is it? It shouldn't be Wang Xiaomang, right? Although you are a good match, it didn't look like that last time. Hey, do you have a photo, show it to me Staff, staff..."

Listening to his gossip, Zhou Lu felt uncomfortable.

I didn't expect that because of my own lie, I would feel sad, angry and annoyed in the end, with mixed feelings to such an extent.

It's you!I like Chen Guo!

He really wanted to yell out so loudly, turn out all those damned annoyances and troubles, and put them directly in front of Chen Guo's eyes so that he could see them clearly and clearly.

But no.

Working hard and hard, suppressing and suppressing, he barely let the mess in his heart show on his face.

Zhou Lv: "I'm lying to you, I didn't date any classmates."

"Ah?" Chen Guo was taken aback. Is there any benefit in lying to me? "What did you lie to me for?"

"It's nothing, I just think your frowning expression is very funny." Zhou Lv said suddenly with his hand poking Chen Guo's face where there would be dimples when he smiled.

Chen Guo:? ? ?

I feel that Zhou Lu's personality has changed a lot, does high school really have such a big influence on people——

Seven days a week, in the blink of an eye.

When Chen Guo and Zhou Lu brought the container to the mulberry forest again, many mulberries had turned a rich purple-black color.Pick one up and throw it into your mouth, and with a slight sip of your tongue, the small fruits that are gathered together will be separated, and the thin peel will burst, bursting out a sweet, delicious, fruity juice.

The mulberry is very fragile, and it is easy to break just by picking it. After a while, the hands of the two were covered with purple-black juice.

The two of them each brought two small plastic buckets, and picked all the ripe mulberries until the buckets were full.

"Come back tomorrow." Chen Guo said, the ones picked today cannot be kept for a long time, and must be processed as soon as possible.

Carrying about forty catties of mulberries back home, the two put water in a large basin and began to wash the incense.Although there are a lot of them, fortunately, the air in the village is very good. The old mulberry fruit has not been treated with pesticides, and it only needs to wash away a small amount of dust and insects.

After cleaning, the mulberries are divided into three parts. The ones to be dried in the sun are the easiest to handle. Just lay them flat on the dustpan and put them in the sun behind the house to dry.

The jam needs to be stalked, which is a big project. While Chen Guo was stalking, Zhou Lu set up the camera with a newly bought tripod and started brewing mulberry wine.

Putting on disposable gloves, crush the dried mulberries to squeeze out the juice. This process is not easy. Zhou Lv pinched it expressionlessly while wondering why the winemakers would go straight to the feet step on.

After crushing, add yeast and one-tenth of rock sugar, stir until the sugar is completely melted, and then pour this pot of juice with slag into a glass jar to ferment.

The work of making wine is basically completed, and then it will be handed over to time. Of course, it needs to be stirred frequently.

It may not be successful. Although Zhou Lu has paid attention to it, it is inevitable that bacteria will be brought in during the process to make it moldy.So Zhou Lv told Chen Guo: "Don't drink until I'm sure I've succeeded."

Chen Guo agreed casually. Anyway, he doesn't like to drink alcohol. He looks forward to mulberry jam more than mulberry wine.

It also crushed the mulberries, but this time, Chen Guo had an extra pair of hands.Compared to Zhou Lu who was bored, Chen Guo thought this job was quite interesting, and the feeling of mulberry juice bursting between her fingers was quite relaxing.

After crushing, put the mulberries into a pot and cook while adding sugar, sugar, or sugar.

Chen Guo swallowed silently, not out of greed, but out of fear, "Is there too much sugar?" Even he, who still has a sweet tooth, felt nauseous just looking at it.

"Sugar can't be less, it's not easy to preserve if it's less." Zhou Lv replied calmly, followed by another big spoonful of sugar. "Don't eat it empty-handed, with bread, or as a drink."

Chen Guo nodded silently, she must not just stutter!

While jam was being boiled here, Zhou Lu's cell phone rang outside the house.

"I'll get it for you." Chen Guo stood up.

But Zhou Lu immediately stuffed the spatula in his hand: "No need, just stir the pot!" He walked out of the kitchen quickly.

So why are you nervous?Chen Guo was puzzled and lowered her head to stir the pot.

When Zhou Lu answered the phone, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The wallpaper of his mobile phone is a Q-version cartoon villain surrounded by a group of chickens. The villain has a round face with a smile and cute dimples.

It can't be said that it is somewhat similar to Chen Guo, it can only be said that it is exactly the same.

This is a fan of Chen Guo who likes to draw and posted a picture of Chen Guo in the comment area, which was silently saved by him and quietly set as a wallpaper.

Even if Chen Guo sees it, he can prevaricate it, but... after all, it's better not to let him see it.

It was Wang Xiaomang who called: "Zhou Lu, are you at home? My father and I just came out of grandma's house, which is quite close to your house. I want to go and see Xiao Yuanbao, can I?"

Wang Xiaomang is very concerned about the little dog he rescued, and from time to time, he would ask Zhou Lu to ask about the dog's current situation, and always wanted to come and see it.

After all, she saved the dog, so there was no reason to refuse, so Zhou Lu agreed: "Yes, then I will send you a location."

Wang Xiaomang's father and daughter were indeed not far away. Within 10 minutes, a silver-gray car drove slowly into Chen Guo's yard.In addition to Wang Xiaomang, there was also a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a refined temperament.

Wang Xiaomang's father is the owner of the largest hotel in the county. He is a rich man. Maybe he can do some business. Chen Guo greeted him with a smile: "Xiaomang, hello uncle."

"Hello, you are Zhou Lu's classmate." Wang Hong smiled politely at Chen Guo, "I'm really sorry, Xiaomang has caused you trouble."

"Dad, I made a mistake." Wang Xiaomang pulled his father's clothes in a low voice, then looked at Chen Guo, "I'm sorry, are you Chen Guo's senior? Thank you for accepting Xiao Yuanbao, it really helped me a lot gone."

"It's okay, you are Zhou Lu's classmate, and you helped me too." Chen Guo said, "Zhou Lu can't leave in the kitchen, I raise chickens on the mountain behind, Yuan Bao and other dogs live on the mountain, I have to go and see see?"

"Okay, but." Wang Xiaomang took a deep breath, "Can you let me know what Zhou Lu is doing first? It smells so good!"

Taking the father and daughter into the kitchen, Zhou Lv, who had to stir the pot all the time and couldn't go out to greet him, said hello: "Hello, uncle."

"This is mulberry? You're making jam!" First, he was surprised that Zhou Lu would enter the kitchen, and then attracted by the taste, Wang Xiaomang was a little eager to try, "Can I try it?"

"Of course." Chen Guo immediately brought her a small spoon.

"It's so hot! But it's so sweet and delicious!" Wang Xiaomang took a sip and took another spoonful, "Dad, try it."

"It's delicious." Unlike his daughter who loves sweets so much, Wang Hong looked at the glass jar beside him, "You two still make wine?"

"Yeah." Zhou Lu agreed, "It's just brewed today, please try it after a few months."

Wang Hong laughed: "Okay." He couldn't help but began to reminisce about his childhood, "When I was young, there were a few mulberry trees in the backyard of my house. I remembered the days when I went to pick mulberry fruits with my friends when I was young."

Business.

Chen Guo immediately said: "I planted a lot of mulberry trees on the mountain, and there are still a lot of mulberries. Uncle, if you are interested, you can go and have a look."

Both father and daughter are very interested.

Taking the father and daughter to pick some mulberries, looking at the dog, Chen Guo said again: "Uncle and Xiaomang stay to eat, I will kill a chicken, and the chickens raised in the countryside have to use the earthen pots and stoves in the countryside It’s tasty to make, that’s what Zhang Haoyu of Pengcheng Restaurant always said.”

Wang Hong was indeed attracted: "Did the chickens in Pengcheng Restaurant come from you?"

It seems that they have eaten, Chen Guo nodded: "Yes."

Wang Hong immediately asked, "How do you sell this chicken?"

Chen Guo scratched her head, and said with a simple and honest face, "Whether it's for sale or not, if you want to eat it, uncle, just grab it and eat it!"

After a lot of procrastination, Wang Hong finally bought ten chickens at a price of 21 catties, and paid a total of [-] together with mulberries.

The Wang family's father and daughter left happily. Chen Guo shook the [-] in his hand and said to Zhou Lu: "Zhou Lu, I think you can invite a few more classmates to play at home."

Zhou Lv: ...
