Chapter 725 725. Two solid baskets
Song Tan quickly stood up:
“Okay, let’s see whose land belongs to them, and I’ll tell someone.”
It just so happens that this wasteland belongs to Aunt Lianhua’s family.
"You mean the field at the foot of the mountain?" Aunt Lianhua thought for a moment - that field hasn't been planted in many years.
Her husband is not here, her children are not here, and she has a paralyzed mother-in-law. How can she have time to take care of her? It would be nice to be able to grow some vegetables.
At this moment, he waved his hand: "You can do whatever you want!"
After saying that, I felt a little embarrassed:
"I originally wanted to ask, Tantan, you Do you want to include that piece of land when you reserve land this year..."
Although her plot of land is at the foot of the mountain, there is another area in the middle, and it is not connected with the lot Song Tan leased. I didn’t have the nerve to ask.
Song Tan laughed loudly: "Don't worry, if there is a chance next year, I will definitely take it!"
She said, and quickly picked up the basket: "Master Wang, let's go, let's go now Picking perilla.”
In the corner, Zhang Yanping, who was trying to reduce his presence, breathed a sigh of relief.
……
The sun at around nine o’clock is really scorching.
Wang Xiaoshun was sweating profusely while wearing a straw hat, and he looked at Song Tan carefully:
"Well... the perilla can't escape, why don't we pick it again at night?"
However, Song Tan arrived in the field. Take a look, and you’ll find that there are quite a lot of them—the field is not big, about two or three cents. But these perillas were scattered here and there, and they actually took up most of the field.
If we make this sauce once, it will be enough to feed the workers for a year!
Song Tan was ecstatic.
If we don't hold on tight, Master Qian and Wang Xiaoshun will be gone later, leaving them with nothing to work for. That won't work!
She then smiled very considerately and kindly: "It's okay, Master Wang, we won't pick too much today, just pick two baskets first, and just boil a pot of perilla leaves when we get back."
Perilla leaves Picking is not troublesome, you just need to pick the young leaves above the pole, and it is really quick to pick.
When Wang Xiaoshun thought about it, two baskets were indeed not many. Who made Boss Song so generous?
At this moment, he picked up the basket: "Okay, let's pick two baskets first."
The two of them stood in the grass, tugging at the leaves of perilla with their fingers, moving quickly and evenly.
Soon, Wang Xiaoshun saw that Song Tan’s basket was full.
Look at yourself again - there is only one third of the basket, is there something wrong?
But it’s really hot, since only half of the basket is left. It will be faster to pick them both!
He speeded up again instantly.
However, after a while, I was still the only one picking the basket... That's not right!
He raised his head again, only to find that Song Tan's basket had now become more than half of the basket.
After she quickly picked a handful of perilla leaves, she pressed her palm directly into the basket and then put the leaves on it.
Wang Xiaoshun: ...
By ten o'clock, the two baskets were filled to the brim and pressed again and again. It's so heavy to carry that it's hard to lift your legs.
Wang Xiaoshun was still a little silent.
Because he only picked one basket of Xuxu, and pressed and filled the rest, all of which were Song Tangan's.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes:
"You are still working in the fields every day, and your movements are nimble and fast...I am far behind."
Song Tan smiled and said nothing.
Turning her head, she looked at the bald perilla stem she had just picked, and asked casually:
"Brother Xiao Shun, will these perillas grow again?"
< br>"It will definitely grow."
Wang Xiaoshun blurted out, and taught Song Tan by the way:
"My master told me when he taught this before, time flies, and this time flies. It’s Perilla. The combination of these words means that Perilla is very long and grows very fast!” He said casually: “But it’s only two days in August. By September, it will bloom here. Once the seeds are grown, the leaves can only be used medicinally and cannot be eaten anymore.”
What? Can it also be used medicinally?
Song Tan turned his head, his eyes suddenly burning.
This purple and green plant deserves the surname Song!
And it’s already the end of August!
Song Tan thought about it in her mind and discussed it with Ulan when she got home: "Mom, ask Aunt Zhang if they are still free?" The perilla has been picked, and the masters on both sides are making the sauce together.”
I originally wanted to dry it slowly, but since time is so tight, let’s do it first!
After picking tonight, she will feed some spiritual energy at night. If she is a little more diligent, maybe there will be another delicious crop in early September, which she can keep to make perilla sauce at home!
If that doesn’t work, it won’t be a loss if you sell it to Doctor Xiao Guo as a medicinal product!
Song Tan took out a small notebook and solemnly wrote down the plants to be planted next year.
…
Wang Xiaoshun didn’t know what they got in exchange for their initiative.
Now I got off the tricycle and excitedly carried two baskets to the kitchen: "Master, look at these perilla leaves, they are so tender! They will definitely be delicious when making rice dumplings for lunch."
“Forget it then.”
Master Qian is very understanding of the differences in taste between people. Some people can't get used to it, but they really can't get used to it at all. It has nothing to do with whether it tastes good or not.
For example, those who like the coriander from Song Tan's family will rush to snatch it up, but those who don't like it won't buy any of it.
At this moment, he looked at the two baskets of leaves that Wang Xiaoshun was carrying with difficulty. He didn't take it seriously: "Look, why can't you carry it? Hurry up, find two big basins and bring some salt water. Let’s soak it first to avoid getting bugs on it.”
Wang Xiaoshun worked hard and didn’t say anything.
However, when he pressed the perilla leaves in the basket into the water one by one, Master Qian couldn't sit still——
"You silly kid! How come the basket is pressed so firmly? How much do you have to do this time?!"
Wang Xiaoshun was also innocent: "I went to pick with Boss Xiao Song. She moved so fast that I couldn't keep up. , I can’t say I won’t pick it anymore...”
So, two baskets of perilla leaves were soaked in four large pots. After the packets of salt were sprinkled into the water, Master Qian wiped his sweat and said thankfully:
“Fortunately, we are in the air-conditioned room.”
……
At this moment, Song Tan was also asking: "Seventh cousin, can you make that kind of perilla sauce? If you can, I will put some fertilizer on Aunt Lianhua's field in the past two days to make her perilla sauce better. Chang, let's make something more delicious."
"Are you so fat?" The seventh cousin glanced at her and calmly knocked on his rice spoon: "I will definitely do it."< br>
The world's most ever-changing methods of cooking soy sauce are always the same. Although he didn't survive it, could he still survive it?
Let’s find some old money.
Ulan heard this and thought to herself: Tantan’s mouth is really tight. It has been there for more than half a year. I don’t know what formula she uses!
But that’s fine, no one can take it away.
She turned back to discuss with Aunt Lianhua, who was washing vegetables: "Lotus, Tantan will fertilize your land. Why don't you wait until autumn and ask someone to weed it, and plant it as well?" Order food or something?”
“It’s fine to sell it for yourself.”
However, Aunt Lianhua smiled and shook her head: “Forget it. ”
“Sister, I eat here with my mother-in-law every day, and there hasn’t been a fire in the house for a long time. ”
"Besides, we get good wages, but we can't spare any time to tidy up."
What she didn't say was that if she tidied up the fields beautifully, her children and man would come back during the New Year. , can she insist on not giving money, and can she still stop people from picking vegetables in her own land?
I would rather stay idle than take advantage of them.
Regarding perilla, we use this when we eat barbecue here or heat the tea pot before making tea.
I see many friends using perilla for making fish, but I don’t have it here. I always use Patchouli here, which is my favorite when making fish!
Green tomatoes (I know it’s poisonous but we’ve been eating it since we were kids, just not every day) Stir-fried fish fillets with green tomatoes, perfect for rice! (Please do not imitate, there will be consequences at your own risk)
Good afternoon, this is from yesterday.
