small farmer

Chapter 373

make a pot of tea
Three old friends who rarely get together, sitting at the golden nanmu coffee table, drinking tea while recalling those years when they were educated youths.

Although it was very difficult at that time, especially Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang, who had not yet graduated from junior high school, went to a remote mountain village to be educated youths. As children in the city, they did not do farm work anywhere. At the beginning, they were always unable to complete the tasks. Often criticized by the group leader.

And Yiyi's grandfather was a local rural child, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, because he had been doing farm work since he was a child, and he had already become a strong labor force in the family at that time.

Because of his curiosity about the city, Mr. Liu began to get in touch with the two of them, and gradually the three became good friends. With the help of Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang and Mr. Yang's farm work became more and more improved. Plowing and harrowing are almost proficient in everything, no worse than native farmers. Since then, their lives have become easier and they have finally integrated into rural life.

Therefore, Mr. Wang and Mr. Yang have always been very grateful to Grandpa Liu. If it weren't for Mr. Liu's help, their life as an educated youth would have been even more difficult. I really don't know if they can survive the campaign.

"Hey, when I think about what happened at that time now, it feels like it was yesterday!" Elder Yang squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. The memories of the educated youth emerged in his heart, and they were still very clear.

"Hehe, I still remember that in the first year of that year, the food we both received was only more than 100 catties, and we barely lasted for three months. If it wasn't for Lao Liu who often helped us and taught us how to fish, I guess we Both of you have froze to death and starved to death!!" Remembering the difficult conditions at that time, Mr. Wang still hissed, it was already very remarkable to be able to have enough food and clothing in those days, and many people would freeze to death and starve to death every winter.

"Yes, I remember Xiao Zhang who went to the countryside in the same year as us, didn't he starve to death in the dormitory that winter because of lack of clothing and food?" Recalling the scene at that time, the old people were extremely sad , with tears in his eyes.

At that time, everyone was full of enthusiasm and responded to the call. Youthful and passionate people came to the countryside to accept the transformation. Unfortunately, in the end, I don’t know how many people fell to the ground and did not persist until the dawn.

"Hehe, let's not talk about that, let's talk about some fun things at that time, everyone still remember the autumn of [-]!"

"I can't forget this, isn't it the wild boar entering the village? At that time, we were the ones who killed the wild boar with hoes. In the end, Lao Wang and I got a hind leg, and we ate it for a whole year. , I remember that the Spring Festival of that year was a decent one, and now I can't help but drool when I think about stir-fried ears with bacon."

"Hahaha, now hearing what you said, I'm getting hungry. I see that there is bacon in Lao Liu's house. Let's go to the entrance of the village and dig some pianergen. How about making pianergen fried bacon at night?" Thinking of those days Wang Lao is also ready to move, really want to relive that special taste,

Now everyone's conditions are very good. Even if they eat delicacies from mountains and seas and fishbone lobsters, they still can't find the hearty and satisfying taste of the past.

"Hehe, no problem, I will cook in person at night, and the three of us will have a good drink too!" Stir-fried bacon with pianergen is also Mr. Liu's favorite, and it is still a delicious food from his hometown.

"Let's go! Let's dig the ears!!" Elder Yang couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up suddenly, pulled the two old people, and was about to set off.

Seeing the three old men walking towards the entrance of the village excitedly, Zhang Feng shook his head with a smile, and hurriedly followed them with a vegetable basket and a small hoe. Otherwise, when the three old men arrived, they would stare without tools.

………………

Pleurotus sinensis Houttuynia cordata

It is a very famous wild vegetable in Aoyama.

Stir-fried bacon with side ear roots is a delicacy that locals like. Almost every wedding ceremony has a plate, which is deeply loved by everyone.

Pianergen is not only delicious with fried bacon, but also crispy and delicious in cold salad. Especially in summer, simply mix it with salt and pepper, and it can be used as a meal. It is spicy and appetizing, and the villagers especially like it.

In addition, Pleurotus root is a common herbal medicine.

It can not only clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and diuresis, but also has certain effects on bronchitis and so on.

Pleurotus generally grows in places with sufficient water sources, such as ditches, side field ridges, or the foot of wet mountains, and Moon Lake has sufficient water sources, so Pleurotus can be seen almost everywhere in the fields outside the village.

"Look! What a beautiful side ear root!" Looking at the tender side ear root and the lush leaves growing by the ditch, Mr. Yang said with a happy smile.

"Well, the root of the side ear grows really well here. Why don't people in Xiaofeng dig it up and sell it? It already costs five or six yuan in the city!" Elder Wang asked curiously.

"In the past, people often dug and sold them, but now everyone is busy tending the vegetables in the field, and there are even fewer people selling pianergen!" Zhang Feng explained with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, several old people nodded. Everyone knows how valuable these vegetables are in the fields. They can sell for five or six yuan a catty. This is still in the place of origin. It is said that it will cost more than ten yuan per catty, but when you go to the restaurant, the price will be even higher. Just a stir-fried cabbage will cost 50 yuan.

Even if the villagers only earn five or six yuan per catty by selling vegetables to the cooperative, there are at least seven to eight thousand catties of vegetables per mu of land, which is an income of three to four thousand yuan, and these vegetables can be grown every two months One crop can be planted four or five seasons a year, that is to say, one mu of land can bring more than [-] yuan of income to the villagers a year.

Now each of the villagers has a planting area of ​​about two acres, and they can earn an income of about [-] yuan a year just by growing vegetables. Since growing vegetables is so profitable, how can everyone have time to dig ears for such a small amount of money? , everyone can't see it.

"There are so many pectinosaurs here, Xiaofeng, give me the hoe!" Looking at the lush Houttuynia cordata by the ditch, Mr. Yang rolled up his sleeves and was ready to strike.

"Old Yang, be careful, don't dig into other people's fields!" Wang Lao joked with a smile.

"Fuck you, do you think I didn't understand anything when I just went to the countryside?" Elder Yang rolled his eyes.

In the countryside, if you destroy other people's fields, you will definitely be scolded, because if the fields are damaged, you can't save the soil and water, and it will be more troublesome to re-tamp if they are destroyed. No matter how good-looking it is.

Since there were a lot of Houttuynia cordata in the field, the three of them dug a whole basket in a short while. Zhang Feng was a spectator the whole time, watching the old men excavating Houttuynia cordata excitedly, while listening to the old man tell interesting stories about that year.

"Okay, old Wang Laoyang, let's go back!" Looking at the basket full of pears, the old man said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go home!" Boss Yang waved his hand, and the three walked towards the village.

Zhang Feng followed behind with a smile, looking at the three talking and laughing, he felt that such a day was not bad, although it was plain, as long as he liked it.
