The whole room of people devoured the watermelon in the basin quickly, and then they had time to extend their claws to the watermelon on the side.
Fortunately, this thing has a shell, and there are always two more steps to eat it, so everyone will not fill their stomachs too full at once.
Even so, when the seventh cousin took a break from cooking, he came to the living room to collect his most convenient large basin, and saw that the trash can was almost filled with water chestnut shells and watermelon rinds.
He couldn't help being stunned: "You guys are eating so much now, do I have to cook less for lunch later?"
When lunch was mentioned, everyone became energetic again.
But the spirit is the spirit, and the stomach won’t admit it!
Now I look at the water chestnut in my hand. I want to eat it but I also blame it for taking up my stomach. It’s really a dilemma!
However, the seventh cousin has always been in charge of matters in the kitchen, so he doesn't need to listen to any opinions at all. At this moment, he made his own arrangements:
"I haven't cooked yet. Why don't we have cold noodles for lunch?"
He calculated: "I still have a pot of bean sprouts from yesterday. Later I will go to the vegetable garden to pick a few cucumbers, grate them, add some green pepper beef sauce, and fry some eggs... For soup, I will drink white fungus soup.
Well, alas!"
He looked like he was forcing himself to do it: "...just eat it."
Professor Song and others:......
If this kind of life is called make do, then they can make do for the rest of their lives!
However, in the eyes of the seventh cousin, this kind of thing that does not require any technology is indeed just make-shift. As for tomorrow’s meal, he has a new idea——
"Tantan, if nothing goes wrong tonight, let's grind some tofu. We'll make a ground basket tonight. Tomorrow, crucian carp will be stewed with tofu and Mapo tofu. I'll mix some fermented bean curd - duck egg yolk pressed with garlic. You're used to it.
? If you’re used to it, I’ll put some pressure on it.”
Gosh!!!
What kind of magical day is this? The master and apprentice are already so happy that they are speechless.
Until Wulan called Song Tan:
"Tan Tan, go to the canteen. I told you before that I can help you get 5,000 yuan back."
Song Tan was stunned: "What do you want this money for?"
Wulan was taking back the hardened sheets: "You asked Mrs. Li and the others to deal with the golden cherry trees before, but you haven't even given them the money... It also made me forget that they are old and can't use mobile phones well.
I need cash... I only have three hundred yuan left at home, so I'm thinking I should prepare more."
In fact, I used to have some at home, and I would use them occasionally to give gifts as small tokens, but a while ago I spent all the money on hiring people to pick peaches, and I didn’t go to town because of the hot weather, so I was delayed for a while.
No, I heard that someone was going to the bank early in the morning, so I specifically asked him to do this.
Song Tan responded: "Then I will transfer money to others later?"
"OK!"
It was only five thousand yuan. Ulan, whose situation had changed, didn't take it seriously now. He thought about it and called her out again: "Wait a moment... you ask your dad to pack a pot of water chestnuts and bring it over."
There were a lot of water chestnuts in the pond, but a lot less. Anyway, I didn't plan to sell them for money, so I just ate them all as snacks. Song Tan was not stingy to this extent, and he responded quickly at this moment, carrying the basin and went to
Go to the canteen.
The canteen is actually quite far away from home, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk. However, Wulan now realizes that her children are not very afraid of the sun, so they can use it more efficiently.
Song Sancheng, on the other hand, was already impatient in picking water chestnuts. At this moment, he stood up with great enthusiasm: "I'll go riding a motorcycle! It's so sunny."
"Pick your water chestnuts, who is like you, stupid and stupid, doing so much at once."
Song Sancheng:......
He had no choice but to sit down again depressedly.
…
And here, Song Tan came to the canteen.
It is said to be a canteen, but it is actually completely different from the canteens that can be found everywhere in the city. This place is small and pitifully small, and the variety of things is pitiful, but you can find a lot of childhood memories.
It's a pity that many snacks that are rare in urban areas are now no longer liked by family members.
"Aunt Wang, my mother asked me to exchange five thousand yuan."
Song Tan pushed open the glass door, and the woman who was watching TV in the room immediately stood up:
"Oh! Tantan? You are such a rare visitor... It's been a while since you came back, right? I haven't seen you walking around in the village... Look at your skin, how fair it is at home!"
Song Tan thought to herself: I don't walk around the village very much, because when I go out I always drive or go to the mountains.
But at this time she just smiled: "My mother has good genetics."
Aunt Wang nodded seriously: "Your mother is enjoying the blessing now. All the girls here are by her side. You have also made a name for yourself in farming... Look at her, she is not stressed now, her skin is white and rosy, and she is very energetic.
ah!"
"The same goes for your dad. He looks several years younger when he goes out."
Song Tan laughed and laughed: "Yeah, I must have been in other places, and they were thinking about me! Come, Aunt Wang, I will bring you a pot of water chestnuts that my dad just caught this morning."
"Ayo!"
Aunt Wang opened the drawer, counted the cash in her hand, and said in surprise: "It's amazing! It's been half a year since you came home? This is the first time I eat food from your house."
At first, when they hired the villagers to work, they included meals. Later, as Song Tan and his family grew more and more, they directly raised the price without including meals.
At most, everyone knew what was grown in the fields when chatting, but they didn't know whether it was because the old Song family had a unique temperament, or whether the young people were incompetent. Half a year had passed, and no one had tasted a single bean.
It’s also strange!
People in the village, for example, who grows watermelons in their fields, will definitely give one or two to their relatives and friends to try. If not, they can just say a polite word and ask them to go directly to the fields to pick them.
Even if you don't give it away, you still have to ask someone to do some work. It's also appropriate to carry a bag of peaches or two watermelons back before leaving.
When living in a village, people don't talk about economic value, they talk about human relationships and rural character.
It's not that Song Tan doesn't know that he should do this, but the question is, if the smell of his food is released early in the morning, the villagers will come back to replace the vegetable seedlings. Do you agree or disagree?
After changing, the appearance of other people’s homes is still far inferior, so what should I say?
What's more, are there those who are greedy and jealous and cause destruction?
If nothing else, it’s definitely not that easy to make their buns, or the price will definitely have to go up.
But now...
"Aunt Wang, it's my fault too."
"My mother initially said she wanted to give it to everyone to try. But as you know, our family spent all their money in order to cultivate this small amount of land. The peaches and watermelons were bought by others again, and the watermelon truck is now returned every day.
Even if we come here at a designated location, we think the output is not enough, and we are really embarrassed to send it out any more..."
She complained to herself, half-heartedly, turned around, took the five thousand yuan and asked again:
"Oh, by the way, Aunt Wang, my mother asked me to ask, our vegetable planting is very good this year. Do you want to save some seeds when the time comes? If so, she will save more."
