It had been raining heavily all day, and Wu Lei had just pulled out the washed sofa cover from the washing machine——
Don't ask why you do laundry on a rainy day, ask because you are too tired from daily work. When it finally rains, Qiao Qiao Xinjun and Zhang Yanping have arranged their work frantically - scrubbing, mopping, and changing into four-piece suits...
All in all, I didn't have any free time all morning.
Wu Lei felt so sad.
"We already live in a villa, and we still have to do the housework by ourselves. What kind of villa do we live in..."
It happened that Xin Jun passed by with a brand new bed sheet in his arms, and couldn't help but wonder: "But this villa doesn't belong to us, aren't we staying here for free?"
"Oh," he reacted again: "I seriously provide food, accommodation and treatment."
Wu Lei:......
He, he is also related to Tan Tan!
Downstairs, the seventh cousin stood on the porch and looked at the pattering rain. He found a place in the yard and said, "It just so happens that we can save some effort when it rains. Then this area will be easy to wash."
Therefore, he conservatively said: "The steamer doesn't need to be too big, just fifty kilograms. I estimate that your two points of land can produce two to three hundred kilograms of sorghum, which can produce almost a hundred kilograms of wine - you will prepare according to this
Bar."
Anyway, I have to find something to grind it with!
Ah this.
It's just more troublesome.
At this time, Song Sancheng, who had finished smoking a cigarette quietly, looked at the vast rain curtain and suddenly asked:
"After this rain, there is no need to drain the water in the rice fields anymore - Tantan, how are the seedlings looking like now? Can they be planted? This month we are harvesting sorghum again, and we also have to harvest soybeans. I guess your peach
It’s almost done, we still have to plant rice here—I guess there aren’t even enough people in the village.”
"Ah?" Song Tan was a little hesitant: "Won't you try some whole grains?" It is said to be high in nutrients and sweet in taste, but she has not eaten it yet.
Song Tan quickly took out his cell phone: "How big will it be?"
The straw was piled into a haystack on the back hill, and the rice husk was intended to be fed to the chickens and ducks, so it was packed in sacks.
The seventh cousin was also happy: "There is plenty of sorghum anyway, let's make it all!"
But the seventh cousin shook his head: "Have you heard the saying [Sorghum is not afraid of water when carrying a gun]? This thing is not afraid of water or drought, don't worry."
Song Tan couldn't help but think about it: "If you sell this, how much will it cost per bottle?"
Song Sancheng pointed to the warehouse: "There's a bunch of them."
When the sorghum is harvested, soybeans will be next.
On a rainy day, except for my grandpa who insisted on going to his place early in the morning to study weaving straw mats, everyone else was idle. It was a rare and good opportunity to relax.
Alas, after working at Song Tan's house for a few months, I only had a few drinks when guests came over, and life has lost its fun.
No, they are relatives after all, and Brother Wu Lei's little strength is just a waste of her soybeans.
For example, rice, if it rains during harvest, not only cannot it be dried, but it will even sprout again directly on the stems...
"What are you cleaning?" Song Tan looked at it curiously.
Seventh Cousin:......
Bean dregs, soy milk, tofu pudding, water tofu, Qianzhang tofu!
"Show me a small millstone, the size of a palm. I will grind some seasoning particles. The ready-made ones I bought are either too fine or too coarse, and the grinder I use at home is not good enough."
One hundred pounds of wine?
"Yes, I have!"
"ah!"
“If you don’t harvest it when it’s already ripe, it will get soaked if it rains!”
Song Tan was stunned: "How many people are there to help plant peach trees on the mountain in spring?"
Song Tan:???It tastes so bad?
During this time of year, if you go to an electronics factory, a toy factory, or a shoe factory in the south, you can earn five or six thousand a month if you find someone who works overtime.
but……
She thought about it and gradually turned her attention to the mountain behind——
You really can't think of the three major hardships in life: running a boat, blacksmithing, and selling tofu.
"It's already July. I went over last night to see if it was ripe, but it rained and I didn't have time to harvest it."
Although it is good to stay and work in your hometown, the work here in Song Tan is not safe even if it lasts a day.
She doesn’t know much about the liquor market yet.
But if you are older, you will have to work harder and earn less, but you can still earn three to four thousand yuan.
He hated it deeply: "It's bitter, astringent, hard to swallow, and it irritates the throat... Isn't our rice bad? Do you have to eat that?"
"That's okay." The seventh cousin thought for a while:
"Tan Tan, then you will have to buy a big steamer, a still, and jars and bottles for wine."
At this time, I got together with my seventh cousin in excitement: "What kind of wine is this? Is it sauce-flavored or strong? I can't get used to drinking sauce-flavored wine."
Song Tan wanted to see if he could turn spiritual energy into water now, so he came out and tinkered for a long time. When he turned around, he saw the seventh cousin saying this.
It happened that Song Sancheng came out to smoke a cigarette and was shocked when he heard these words:
"What?! Eat sorghum? If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it!"
Song Tan:......
Stir-fried bean sprouts, vinegar-coated bean sprouts, and braised bean sprouts with crispy pork!
Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to steam it with the big iron pot at home.
He could only snort: "We won't know the taste until at least a month later. It's too early for you to worry about the price. You might as well think about what the soybeans from the chestnut garden will be used for."
Song Sancheng waved his hand: "In previous years, in July, August, and September, they went out to work a lot, so they had to be prepared."
Speaking of soybeans, Song Tan is really looking forward to it:
"I'll buy a big bean sprout machine first!"
She stared at the phone, her eyes gradually becoming crazy:
"Do I have to buy another millstone..."
"Forget it!" She shook her head decisively: "Let's all make wine!"
The seventh cousin glanced at her: "Have you forgotten that there are sorghum grown in the two fields next to each other under the peach grove?"
My seventh cousin hasn’t made wine for several years.
When the big stone mill comes back, tie Brother Wu Lei to the mill and let him take the time to turn it around twice...
Song Tan really forgot - after all, sorghum, like corn, is not grown much, and Qiao Qiao planted it wholeheartedly.
Cough cough cough.
If you work until you come back during the Chinese New Year, not to mention anything else, it will be enough for next year’s rice, flour, grains, oils, favors and gifts... it’s always enough, right?
"I was thinking that no one eats sorghum now, so I'll make wine from all the harvested crops."
Speaking of wine, although Song Sancheng is not an alcoholic, he does drink occasionally.
He asked again: "Do you still have the rice husks that were removed from the rice?"
Now that he mentioned it at first glance, although he was confident that he had not lost his skills, it was hard to say——
The seventh cousin couldn't help but be speechless - the sorghum hasn't been harvested yet!
Song Tan nodded. At this moment, she finally felt that her six months of hard work had been in vain - if nothing else, she had more and more food at home!
Here are the hundreds of acres of hills she has newly acquired!
Retain people, we must retain people this time!
Of course, not only do we have to keep this group of middle-aged and elderly people around, but for this year’s Chinese New Year, we really have to do what Party Secretary Xiao Zhu said and try our best to recruit some young people for our hometown!
Hey hey hey haha Fei 10 encountered an Amazon scam today (the other party replaced a reader’s nickname) and was live broadcast by 10 to the group...
In short, there are many kinds of scams, so please be careful. We don’t borrow money, we don’t go to Amazon, we don’t apply for cards, and we don’t ask readers to verify any information...
