Chapter 146 146. Luxurious Breakfast
There were not many people eating in the morning, including Song Youde and his wife, Zhang Yanping who slept in, and the seventh cousin's family.
Counting it all, nine people.
Cousin Seven asked about the number of people and re-evaluated yesterday’s food intake, so he and Grandma Qi washed rice and made a fire together, preparing to cook.
Those who do farm work should not drink water early in the morning, otherwise they will lose strength.
Song Tan just got up, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Cousin Qi, why did you ask Grandma Qi to come into the kitchen? Didn't I spend one salary to invite two people?" It’s a big deal.”
The seventh cousin said with a arrogant tone:
“It’s just your salary of three melons and two dates, isn’t that what it means to let your seventh grandma do it? No matter how hard you work, you can’t stop moving when you are old. Once a person stops moving, he will be wasted.”
This is true.
If the elderly in the village slowly stop working, no matter whether they are unable to work or simply don’t want to work, their health will decline very quickly.
But what is the salary of three melons and two dates?
Song Tanxin said: Uncle Zhang on the mountain only gets two thousand a month!
But she didn't say anything else. She just said to Song Sancheng: "Dad, you guys have been tired for the past two days. Don't work today. I will go to my grandpa's house later to pick out pig food." When you come back, you can weigh the bamboo shoots at home."
In the past, Song Sancheng would have said: How can my daughter do this?
But now, his face is full of smiles: "Oh, my girl is still filial! Okay, don't worry, your bamboo shoot dad will definitely take care of it for you!"
Go to grandparents' house , Song Youde also just came back from outside, with some wet soil on his feet. At this moment, he looked at the vast sky and said with certainty: "It will definitely rain today. Tantan, are you still going to sell vegetables?"
"Sell!" Song Tan was more sure than him: "It will rain today." It’s not raining heavily. Besides, I’ve informed everyone in the group.”
“Okay.” No one in the village took the rain seriously: “Just remember to wear a hat. ”
Grandma skillfully scooped out the bucket full of pig food with a big ladle. At this moment, through the pig food, it seemed that she could see her big fat piglet...
"Tan Tan, I have been raising this little pig for more than half a month. I see it is growing very fast. The weather is getting warmer soon. Does it mean that the pig food no longer needs to be boiled?"
Make some wheat bran and rice bran with water. , with some other messy things, the pigs can still eat it.
"Yes," Song Tan nodded:
"Grandma, you should have reminded me earlier, but I forgot and made you work hard for so long."
"This What’s the point of hard work?” Wang Lifen smiled so hard that she couldn’t even see her teeth: “Only when you have something to do every day will your life be complete!”
"Besides, the piglet is too small. There is no harm in eating pig food for a few more days. It is safe."
Song Youde was scraping the mud under the soles of his rubber shoes with a bamboo piece. At this moment, he also said happily: "Tan Tan, have you gone to see the fields? The seedlings that were just removed yesterday look different today. This year is guaranteed to be a good year!"
Song Tan thought, can they not grow strong?
Yesterday I climbed up the back mountain in the middle of the night. The first few hours were given to peach trees, and the last few hours were given to fields.
The king, Dabao and Dabao were all happy, but only the three and four treasures in Chestnut Forest were aggrieved.
Tonight, both rain and dew are inevitable!
Oh, the top is spinning during the day, and the top is spinning at night!
If there is not a good harvest, the face that is more than a hundred years old will be torn off and trampled on!
It’s a pity that no one understands this pain.
Song Youde thought about it:
"What else is there to do this morning? If nothing happens, I will take a few nets to catch fish in the ditch. Yesterday, when the water was released, many fish washed down."
Speaking of Song Tan wanted to sigh again.
If you want the fish to grow well, the aura of the two ponds is indispensable. I am like a sponge that is tightly grasped by people. Every drop comes out in the east and the next drops come out in the west. It is really squeezed out. She thought for a while:
"Don't worry, grandpa, you and dad can set up some big stoves for the seventh cousin at the door. For our family to eat, it's better to have a bigger stove. .”
Even though they only had nine people at full capacity, if they really let go, they could still satisfy the appetites of ten or twenty people. It's not like asking the seventh cousin to huddle in his kitchen all the time.
"Okay."
Song Youde looked at the sky and said, "Then you go sell vegetables early today. Your father and I will build a shed to build the stove in the morning. I think we will need more in the afternoon. If it rains, we’ll go see how the interior of your seventh cousin’s old house is being repaired.”
Grandma Wang Lifen was still a little confused: “Isn’t it… not busy anymore?”
>
The past few days had been as busy as a war, and she was a little anxious when picking tea leaves.
Now it's quiet enough to say it's quiet, but I'm still a little at a loss.
After thinking about it, he quickly tied the basket again: "Isn't this meal not ready yet? I'll go for a walk on the tea mountain first."
Song Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Grandma, you Even if you do two turns, I will only give you a salary of 100 yuan a day. Why bother? You have to be lazy when you should be lazy."
Wang Lifen also laughed: "You are helping your granddaughter, why are you lazy? ? But there won’t be much work if you go around Chashan and come back to eat... Otherwise, I’ll help you feed the pigs.”
Oh, I don’t dare to do that.
The mountain road is not easy to walk, and her grandmother's small body may not be able to withstand carrying such a heavy pig food bucket.
Song Tan thought for a while: "I see that there are a lot of wild vegetables growing in the back mountain. Grandma, if you have time, you can help dig them back."
Over there in the peach forest, because The soil had just been turned over and exposed to the sun, so the grass roots did not germinate so quickly.
But around the area where the spiritual energy had escaped, the wild vegetables were growing everywhere. Even though it's Qingming now, there are still fresh and tender buds growing.
——I would be embarrassed not to eat it.
However, grandma thought for a while: "Ask your mother to go and let your mother take some time to rest. I'd better go pick tea, and I will be paid."
Song Tan:...
This one hundred yuan salary is really useful.
She picked up the pig food bucket and went back, only to see that Wu Lan and Song Sancheng had already called Zhang Yanping and Qiao Qiao. The four of them were weighing and packing at the same time. They were really fast.
Looking at the kitchen, smoke was curling up. Grandma Qi was sitting in front of the stove, constantly adding fire to the stove.
The fragrant rice was boiling in the pot, and on one side stood the seventh cousin. At this moment, he was holding a handful of sour cowpeas that he had dug out from somewhere, and he was chopping them with a knife.
Chop the sour cowpea into fine pieces.
I picked out the leftover chilies from yesterday, chopped them up, and beat a bowl of eggs.
Finally, I searched around the kitchen again, picked out a few yellow cabbage, and directly fried the garlic cloves.
When the vegetables were fried, the rice here had already bloomed. The seventh cousin skillfully held the ladle, scooped up the excess rice soup, and then slowly simmered the rice with the remaining fire.
The rice soup was not wasted. I put it in the pot directly, added some crushed milkvetch in the refrigerator, and cracked two eggs into it. The green leaf and yellow flower clear rice soup was enticing when I smelled it!
Everyone sat on the table in a hurry and looked at the three dishes and one soup in front of them. It was obviously not luxurious, but it was more than sufficient, but everyone present swallowed their saliva.
How to say it?
Now that we have a chef, this breakfast is finally not a fool!
