Chapter 53: Pastoral Collection
Beth agreed to go, and here Jing Zeming asked, "Is Mei'er's cough better?" I'm thinking it's almost time to use the medicine now. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yesterday, I asked Dr. Liu to read it again, and said that it was okay, and there was no need to take medicine. These days, I see that she herself often comes out and walks around, and she is much better than the sick appearance before, but she still refuses to do five bird plays with me, and she teaches a few movements and doesn't do it. ”
Jing Zeming couldn't help laughing, squinted at her and said, "This is normal, how many people are as different as you?" ”
Talking out of the room, and then Aunt Mei arrived, the three of them and a few girls were about to go to the backyard along the verandah, when they saw a team coming from far outside the courtyard gate, so they all stopped, Fang Caiwei wondered: "It was the old lady who was carried by the spring stool that was carried by the spring stool, right?" Why are you so interested in coming to us today? ”
Jing Zeming was also a little surprised, the husband and wife and Aunt Mei hurriedly took it out, and sure enough, it was Mrs. Sang, Mrs. Chang Wen, and the two girls arrived. Fang Caiwei personally stepped forward to help Mrs. Sang get off the spring bench, and said with a smile: "The old lady's body is tougher than before, the weather is just right today, do you want to walk around?" It just so happened that more than a dozen crops in our backyard had broken through the soil and sprouted, and they looked very verdant and lovely. ”
Mrs. Sang smiled: "Didn't you say it?" People always lie down and lie down, I didn't take this seriously at first, but now I see Mei Yatou's body and complexion is really much better, then I know that what you said is right, I think that although I am old, but I am making amends, it is probably not too late to move. ”
"Of course it's not too late, you're not even seventy, how can you be embarrassed to call you old? I also told Aunt Mei that day that there are more than 70 and 80 old people working in the fields and countryside, and as long as you walk more, it will not be a problem for you to live to be 100 years old. ”
Fang Caiwei's mouth was so sweet, the old lady was overjoyed when she said something, and pointed at her and said to everyone: "Listen, she can speak, you don't expect me to go to the backyard to work for you, right?" Otherwise, how can you think of those old people working in the fields? ”
"Borrow the courage of your granddaughter-in-law. My granddaughter-in-law was afraid that the old lady would come to the backyard and see that those guys were new and had a childish temper, so I had to go over to play with them, and then smashed my feet, and I couldn't explain to the old lady. Since the old lady said this, you can remember later, don't move anything, just listen to your granddaughter-in-law explain it to you. ”
Fang Caiwei said, everyone laughed, and Mrs. Sang said: "It's against you, even I dare to joke, don't worry, even if I use those things, I will never smash my feet, and if I want to smash them, I will smash them on your face." ”
"Old lady, you are still used to her, she has a good mouth these days." Mrs. Chang couldn't help laughing, and then Cai Wei said: "In the old lady's house before, we were idle, and I heard from two girls that you seem to have a vegetable garden in your backyard, so come and have a look." But don't you have fresh vegetables? If you don't grow flowers and plants, how can you think of planting vegetables? Although our family is in trouble, it has not yet reached this point. ”
Fang Caiwei smiled: "Mrs., don't listen to the nonsense of the two sisters, they haven't come to see it themselves, what do you know?" In fact, I didn't grow vegetables, but just a few crops. There are also a few crops that have been brought across the sea, and I have occasionally eaten them, but they are only a novelty, and I have not heard of any other crops that are sold in bulk. So this time when I met the seeds, I bought them and planted them in the backyard, if they grow, they will be distributed to Zhuangzi in the future to plant, whether they are squeezing oil to make sugar as food, enough for us to eat for a year, and at that time, grain and oil can save a lot. ”
Mrs. Chang was thrilled when she heard this, she is now in charge of the house, and naturally knows these expenses, several Zhuangzi in Zhenning Hou Mansion because of poor management, saying that they send some fresh specialty rice grains during the New Year's Festival, which cannot provide daily expenses, if what Fang Caiwei said is true, it can really save a lot of money in a year.
Thinking in their hearts, everyone came to the backyard, only to see that the backyard that was originally supported by flowers and trees and small bridge pavilions has now changed greatly. Except for the two lonely pavilions, the others were demolished, and the leveled land was full of greenery, and several mothers-in-law were walking around the fields, and when they saw them, they were busy to meet them. Fang Caiwei waved her hand and said, "You don't have to come over, just go about your own work there, and the old lady and I will take a walk casually." ”
The mothers-in-law bent down and saluted, and then stood on their own piece of land, where Mrs. Sang and Mrs. Wen and two girls walked on the ridge of the ground where only two people could stand side by side, and Fang Caiwei introduced them: "This field is planted with soybeans, and boiling beans and extracting oil are excellent; This piece is sesame, I have heard that sesame seeds are blooming highly, and the old ladies and girls have not seen sesame seeds really bloom, right? This thing is fried and eaten, it is naturally fragrant, or it is good to make sesame paste, and put a little bit of sesame oil when cooking, and it will be fragrant. ”
Jing Chuyu nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that this sesame oil is very expensive, although it is prepared in the kitchen all year round, but I am not very willing to use it, I was sick last time and wanted to eat steamed eggs, let the girl go to the kitchen to ask for it, Aunt Miao only dripped two drops on it, it was very fragrant." ”
Wen thought at first that the second girl was going to sue, and her face was a little unsightly, but when she heard this, she was relieved, and hurriedly smiled: "The girl doesn't know, and it's not that she is reluctant to use it, but this sesame oil is too fragrant, if you eat too much, you will be tired of panic, so use a little less and relieve the taste." ”
Mrs. Sang nodded and said: "That's a good thing, you can't enjoy too much deliciousness, if you eat too much, it's not delicious, there are a few, and things are scarce." ”
After speaking, he pointed to the front and said, "What is that?" It's not like wheat and rice, and I've never seen it. ”
Fang Caiwei hurriedly smiled: "This is the crop that my granddaughter-in-law said just now, my granddaughter-in-law called it corn, I heard that some people in the countryside planted it in the early years, they called this kind of thing bud valley, and when it grows, in addition to leaving seeds, we will cook and eat the rest, which is also a novelty." ”
Mrs. Sang said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's novel, I look at them and they are still spiritual, since they have come across the ocean, it is rare not to be delicate, and they are not adapted to the water and soil because they have left their hometown, and the mother-in-law who is fiddling with them is afraid that they are bothered, right?" ”
The corn and soybeans are next to each other, are a mother-in-law servant, hearing the old lady's words, I can't help but be very happy, and hurriedly saluted: "Grandma said that this thing is very easy to plant, sure enough, the slave and maid these days, but also did not take much care of it, they have grown like this, grandma said that there will be seedlings in a few days, the slave and maid are reluctant, this seedling grows so watery." ”
Fang Caiwei said with a smile: "This is the same as being greedy and chewing too much, you don't have seedlings, such dense seedlings are crowded together to compete for nutrients in the ground, and in the end, all of them can't grow big, only the seedlings are left, leaving those strongest and largest seedlings, one by one, so that they can grow." ”
Wen glanced at Fang Caiwei and said with a smile: "Why is my sister-in-law so knowledgeable now?" I've never heard you talk about these crops before, and besides, although your mother's family is not prominent, it doesn't seem that you need to farm the land, right? ”
