In the mango orchard outside the house, the drainage ditch in the garden has accumulated water, and the dog is lying in it to collect the mud and water...
Seeing Ye Mo coming downstairs, Xiao Mu raised his head, shook his body vigorously, and ran over.
The door was closed and Xiao Mu couldn't get in. When he saw Ye Mo, he yelled "OoOoOo" to him.
Ye Mo stared at it fiercely, making it stop, and then opened the door. Ye Mo smiled, rubbed Xiao Mu's head, and went in to get an umbrella...
Among them, only Lin Xiaomian stayed out of the rain and held an umbrella for her.
Lin Shan grabbed Xiao Mu and said, "Come here."
Xiao Mu was reluctantly dragged to the faucet by Lin Shan: "Look at how dirty you are, don't move around, let me give you a bath."
It's not even six o'clock yet, and it's already getting dark.
Ye Mo checked that there was still no power outage: "Mom, there may be a power outage at night. Turn on the air conditioner in the room first..."
"Okay." Xiaomian's mother went back to the house and turned on the air conditioner, packed her clothes and went to the bathroom.
Ye Mo also went upstairs, turned on the air conditioner first, and then took a shower.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Ye Mo took a bath, took the dirty clothes downstairs, soaked them, and washed them together tomorrow.
Lin Xiaomian was cooking in the kitchen, and the rice was already cooked.
Xiao Mu had just taken a bath, and when he saw Ye Mo, he pulled him over. Ye Mo gently tapped its head...
“What are you cooking that’s delicious?”
"Stir-fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots, stir-fried bacon with wild garlic, cold clover, and tomato and egg soup." Lin Xiaomian said, "How about it?"
Lin Xiaomian was cutting bacon, and Ye Mo went up to help: "Where did you get the wild garlic?"
"My second uncle gave it to me." Lin Xiaomian said, "On both sides of the ravine, a lot of wild garlic grows."
Xiao Mian's mother is cleaning wild garlic in the pool behind.
There are actually many wild vegetables on the mountains, such as dandelion, shepherd's purse, gray cabbage, bitter greens, etc. As for clover, it is the grass in the orchard, alfalfa.
There are many types of alfalfa. The grass planted in Ye Mo is not clover, but it has three leaves... The name is just a title.
Tender alfalfa can be eaten. It tastes good after being blanched and served cold.
Ye Mo cut the bacon, and then cut the soaked dried bamboo shoots. These dried bamboo shoots were dried by Tang Xun and his family, mainly water bamboo shoots... After soaking, they are used to stir-fry meat, which is also a unique skill.
Lin Xiaomian started cooking.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Suddenly, the lights in the house went dark.
It's only after six o'clock...
Normally, it wouldn't get dark until after eight o'clock.
The kitchen is dimly lit, but not completely dark.
Lin Shan also took a bath and came over with a flashlight.
Xiaomian's mother washed the dishes, took them to the kitchen, and said to Ye Mo: "Go out and sit and wait for dinner."
"Hey." Ye Mo smiled and went under the eaves.
My father-in-law is lying comfortably on a chair. There is a teapot next to the chair with tea brewing in it.
Ye Mo poured a cup of tea and took out a cigarette: "Dad."
Lin Shan took the cigarette, yawned, and lit it: "After this heavy rain, will the rainy season begin?"
Ye Mo nodded: "It should rain more often in the future."
"That's it, that's comfortable." Lin Shan smiled. It had rained a few times before, but the biggest rain moistened the soil.
It's the rainy season.
Later, there is no need to irrigate specifically.
Heavy rain, accompanied by thunder getting closer and closer.
The closer the thunder is, the heavier the rain will be.
It was already raining heavily outside, which was even heavier than the pouring rain.
"What do you think of Carpenter Li's work?" the father-in-law asked.
"Very good." Ye Mo nodded and said, "If I can make money here, I will definitely increase everyone's wages. At the very least, it won't be less than what you earn as a plasterer."
"I'm not talking about the treatment. They are still very satisfied with their current treatment." Lin Shan said: "I'm just asking if you have any opinions on their work."
"Everyone has done a good job." Ye Mo said.
"It's time to eat." Lin Xiaomian came out with the dishes. There was a bright flash of lightning, followed by a huge thunder... The thunder seemed to explode above the head, and the entire Gaoshanping seemed to be shaken.
Lin Xiaomian was so frightened that she almost dropped the plate in her hand.
Three dishes and one soup in the evening.
Ye Mo feels good living with Xiaomian's parents. Someone cooks three meals a day... Xiaomian's mother also helps wash his own clothes...
It's Lin Xiaomian. She likes to sleep in and is nagged by her mother every day.
"The raspberries are starting to ripen, and you can pick them in large quantities in two or three days." Lin Shan asked: "How much do those raspberries cost per kilogram?"
"About 30 yuan." Ye Mo said: "The specific price can only be set after Boss Gao comes to see it."
Raspberries, when selling seedlings, the boss said those were raspberries.
But in their local area, they call them "Shan Pao'er", "Crick Pao'er" and "Pao'er".
The scientific name should be raspberry.
Ye Mo looked up raspberries on the Internet, and there were so many pictures...
Ye Mo has 7 acres of raspberries. It used to be 5 acres in Gaoshanping. After they were transplanted here, because there was extra land, the planting density was much smaller.
Specially cultivated wild fruits, raspberries... are big in size, and are cultivated by Lingquan. Ye Mo also applied organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer when the raspberries bloomed.
Last year, those raspberries were bigger than your thumb. This year’s raspberries are even bigger, about the same size as larger cherries. The flesh is very plump...
There are many wild fruits called ‘paoer’, including thorny paoer, black paoer, yellow paoer and so on.
The raspberry Ye Mo is also a type of Paoer, locally called Shanpaoer and Cicpaoer.
Raspberries are plants of the genus Rubus in the Rosaceae family. There are thorns on the branches. These are improved varieties with fewer thorns. They are large...and easy to pick.
Fruits that have been watered by Lingquan seem to take a longer time to develop. This is true for watermelons, and it is also true for thorns.
In the climate here, wild thorns begin to mature in early May.
Wild thorns are small, and most thorns are about the size of a girl’s little finger, or even smaller.
There are still relatively few wild fruits like thornberry. They are also troublesome to pick and difficult to preserve... They are rarely sold in cities, and even if they are, the price is not cheap.
"Pao'er can be sold for 30 yuan per catty?" Lin Xiaomian looked at Ye Mo.
"30 yuan per catty is very cheap." Ye Mo said: "The thorns are not yet mature, and the best ones can be sold for 50 yuan per catty."
Some people specialize in collecting immature wild thorns. The worst ones can be sold for more than 20 yuan per catty. The best ones can be sold for dozens of yuan per catty.
The thorns are dried in the sun or dried to make medicinal materials.
The price of thorns is expensive, mainly because it is troublesome to pick. Just like cherries...
One person can't pick many cherries in one day.
Ye Mo's labor contracting is high. If the price is low, he would rather not sell it.
"Immature thorns can be sold for up to 50 yuan?" Lin Xiaomian said: "Why didn't you sell them earlier? They only sell for 30 yuan now, which is a bit uneconomical."
The time to harvest immature thorns is April.
"What they want is wild thorns." Ye Mo said: "The thorns grown on the mountains are too big."
Unripe thorns are easier to pick.
Ye Mo had seen someone harvesting watermelons in the town before, but he was too busy harvesting watermelons at the time, so he didn't ask. In fact, Ye Mo didn't know whether the other party was harvesting the thorns here.
You should be able to harvest it. The cultivated and wild Amaranthus are both of the same species.
But it's different. The thorn bulbs on the mountain are an improved variety and are obviously much larger. But just a few acres of thorn bulbs can't be sold for a lot of money, so it doesn't matter.
