This winter melon is too big and heavy. The green skin is covered with a light white frost color. The color is fresh, but it is quite awkward to hold.
In the end, Song Tan and Qiao Qiao put them into the sink and washed them one by one.
The seventh cousin and Wang Xiaoshun brought Qiao Qiao with them after they had finished their work. The three of them and three chopping boards started working together. First, they cut the winter melon in circles, then peeled it, cut it into one centimeter thick cubes, and finally cut it into 1 cm thick cubes.
Cut the winter melon into strips one by one...
Not to mention, the inside of the winter melon is green and white, with a hazy transparency. It is piled up in small strips, which is really pretty.
The large and small pots in the kitchen that had just been vacated for beans were soon filled to the brim again.
As for this person, the seventh cousin rummaged through boxes and cabinets to get enough raw food-grade quicklime. He directly found a stainless steel bucket and poured cold water into it one basin after another. He collected a large bucket full of it.
Then he used his big spoon to stir it thoroughly. When the winter melon was cut into pots after pots, the lime water here was also allowed to stand.
He and Wang Xiaoshun didn't move. They just taught Qiao Qiao to hold the ladle, scoop out the top layer of water, pour it into a basin and soak the winter melon strips inside.
Finally, wrap them one by one with plastic wrap and put them there - the entire bucket of limewater has reached the bottom, leaving only white slaked lime at the bottom. This thing is basically useless, so I just fish it out and throw it away.
By the time everything was done, it was only just six o'clock.
The seventh cousin thought about it for a while and found that Song Tan and Qiao Qiao were there, and the hard work was being done. He didn't seem to be tired at all!
Not bad!
Although my vision in choosing an apprentice is not very good, the retirement place I chose for myself is really good!
At this moment, he proudly put his hands behind his back and said: "What can I sell with these few winter melons? Isn't it because there is plenty of land? I'll pick some back tomorrow."
"By the way, Tan Tan, go to town and buy me two more packs of quicklime. Be sure to remember to buy food!"
Even those whose edges were not cut neatly, he did not waste. He just raised his chin and told Wang Xiaoshun:
"Put away the rest and make a stir-fried winter melon at night, with a few drops of oil."
As he spoke, he smiled smugly at Wang Xiaoshun: "Your master is good at choosing people, but he has no discernment in choosing dishes!"
"Look, you two have never seen such good ingredients in your lives! Let me tell you, this small oil is also freshly squeezed. The sesame seeds you beat yourself only squeeze out a small bottle, and you can't part with the rest.
...Anyway, if you take a few drops when cooking at night, you will know what the fragrance is."
Wang Xiaoshun had a smile on his face, but he thought in his heart: What's so great! When Song Tan's family grows enough vegetables, they can still use it when they return to the hotel!
Thinking of the bustling crowds of visitors, he could barely contain the smile on his face at the moment.
…
At this moment, Professor Song's masters and apprentices from Jiangbei Province, who were far away next door, looked at each other with their jobs in hand, with the same distress on their faces.
The host saw it and asked quickly: "What's wrong? Is the food not cooked well?"
"No no!"
Professor Song quickly said: "It's not about the food, it's just that these apple trees are a pity."
In fact, it's just food... I've only been away for two days, which is incredible. But you can't say that their food is not as good as others, right?
The other party also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"I'm afraid you'll blame me now..."
As the other party spoke, he always felt a little guilty for no reason.
"What's there to complain about?"
Professor Song laughed: "I have to congratulate you first, your life will be better! When you get the money later, don't listen to others' advice to gamble or invest."
"Be honest and prepare a room in a school district for your children, and save the rest if you can. If not, just buy some gold jewelry from a store or something like that."
"I understand!"
The man laughed: "Since the news of the demolition came out, this household registration has been locked and frozen. I see a lot of strangers coming to the village!"
"And the card table, the game is getting bigger and bigger... Our family can't do it. We have just calmed down, but we don't dare to do this."
The speaker was a farmer from Jiangbei Province whom Professor Song had mentored before.
At that time, the other party returned to his hometown to start a business, but he was also desperate. With the introduction of Professor Song and others, he carefully bought a batch of three-year-old apple seedlings.
Grafting, pruning, fertilizing... After three years of hard work, it seems that the first fruit period is coming this year, click!
A piece of good news from heaven——
They are going to demolish this area!!!
Including his 16 acres of apple orchard!
Just ask, which one can bring in more money quickly and be engaged in agriculture or be a demolished household?
No need to think about it, they must be demolished households. Not only will they be compensated for their old house, but they will also be compensated for everything else.
Let’s talk about apple orchards. Not only are there compensations for land acquisition, but there are also compensations for fruit trees – for an apple tree like this in the early fruiting stage, you can get 90 yuan in compensation!
Just this tree alone can cost another 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
However, farming is really hard, and after their demolition, there are no suitable orchards nearby for him to relocate the fruit trees...
It just so happens that during this solar term, there are no buyers for fruit trees at all.
No, I had already posted on WeChat Moments, saying that I planned to give away the fruit trees.
It had just been sent out, and Professor Song happened to see it. After asking about the demolition time, he specifically asked him not to give it away, but to keep it for him.
Now, Professor Song has come all the way to see the fruit trees, and the owner of the family is also filled with sadness:
"Professor Song, there is not much else to say. When I returned to my hometown to start a business growing fungus, I almost lost my life, but you taught me step by step how to make money."
"Later on, you inspected the weather and the soil for this fruit tree, and finally made connections, and specially found good branches to arrange for grafting... I might not have been able to survive these years if you hadn't helped support me.
.”
Now it was good, seeing a bumper harvest, his family had caught up with this good thing. He thought, for Professor Song, it was inevitable that some of his hard work was in vain.
Now he promised: "Don't worry, if you say you want these fruit trees, then I'll keep them all for you! I won't give one to anyone else!"
To be honest, he doesn't have the patience to give it to others.
In this village, everyone is related to each other and wants to take advantage of it - but some people are greedy and take his free fruit trees and want to sell them elsewhere!
Or he would come over after hearing the news and ask him why he didn't dig out the fruit tree, otherwise they wouldn't be able to dig out such a big tree...
This is so manly: I send fruit trees with such good fruit to other places, and you ask me why I don’t help dig them?
What's going on? I'll arrange a car to take you home to plant it?
The other party was still not happy, muttering all the way, saying that they were going to be demolished, and they still cared about this little money...
Anyway, since this incident was posted on WeChat Moments, I haven’t heard a single good word, but I have accepted a lot of complaints.
To be honest, Professor Song was so relieved when he said yes!
