Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1424. Ning Cheng Chattering

This looks like it's not difficult at all, and it's actually quite fun!

Qiao Qiao hesitated for a moment: "Uncle Zhang, isn't that just like thinning out the seedlings in the vegetable fields on the mountain or combing the fruit trees? Digging out some will make the others grow better?"

Zhang Wangjia laughed: "That's not the case. Our lotus flowers are not planted densely to begin with. It doesn't matter whether we dig them or not. Qiao Qiao, are you feeling bad?"

Qiao Qiao nodded: "Well, if we don't dig it up now, it will grow into a really big lotus root, which can be used to make several dishes. Teacher Xin said this is called making the best use of things."

Zhang Wangjia didn't know much about making the best use of things, but he was open-minded about the things in the fields and understood them: "It doesn't matter whether you use them or not. You grow them to eat them, right? There's not much difference between eating young or old ones."

"As long as it's not wasted, you can eat it in any way you want. Besides, you may feel bad if you dig out the lotus stems because they are too small. In fact, as long as you have patience, you can peel off the tender lotus stems and cook them, or feed them to pigs."

"And this curled lotus leaf, when it's tender, you can chop it up and fry it with eggs... Look, isn't that good too?"

Although the words may sound crude, how can this not be considered as making the best use of resources?

Qiao Qiao opened her mouth, and after a while she gave Zhang Wangjia a thumbs up: "Uncle Zhang! You understand a lot of things! And you explain them so clearly!"

Zhang Wangjia was a little proud: "That's right! I have been working in the fields all my life, there is nothing I can't explain clearly!"

At this point, I thought of the Song family's fields. How come they had such a good yield? I couldn't really explain it, so I decisively changed the subject and said, "Come on, dig! There are so many of you, so you have to dig a lot to make a dish. If you don't hurry up, you won't have lunch."

  As soon as he said this, Qiao Qiao was about to get down to work, but was stopped by Yang Zhengxin:

"No, no! You forgot about your live broadcast room again - come on! Let's have a competition between the three of us! Chen Chi, do you want to compete?"

Chen Chi was at a loss: "Comparison of what?"

"Of course, it's a competition to see who can dig up more lotus stems!"

"Then..." Chen Chi hesitated for a moment: "If I win, will you teach me how to do math? I can't learn it."

He felt a little aggrieved: Math is really difficult, every subject is difficult. I can't even memorize the multiplication table, it's so hard.

But Qiao Qiao said that Yang Zhengxin’s grades were so good that he didn’t even need to go to school!

This made the child admire him too much, otherwise he wouldn't have been so sincere in holding the flower basket yesterday. It was really because of the halo and filter that he was blessed with this.

Yang Zhengxin patted his chest and said, "Of course! But if I win, you have to teach me how to make the most luxurious wreath!"

What's so difficult about this? Isn't it possible to do it with hands? Chen Chi nodded decisively.

Only Qiao Qiao felt aggrieved: "Why can't I win? I'm very good at farm work."

Yang Zhengxin put his arm around his shoulders and pointed at his phone: "Your children are still waiting to learn new techniques, but you can dig lotus stems. Shouldn't you teach them the details while practicing?"

"You definitely can't win like that!"

He spoke so confidently that Qiao Qiao felt it made a lot of sense.

"Yang Zhengxin, you are so smart!"

The comments also became lively: [It’s over, it’s over. Teacher Qiao Qiao and Chen Chi combined are no match for Xiao Yang’s tiny brain.]

[Teacher Qiao Qiao! I won’t make any money just to save my reputation! ]

[It's Qiao Bao! You don't have to learn new techniques yet, but you must win this one]

[It’s just digging lotus stems, don’t be so competitive… Teacher Qiao Qiao, go for it! Come on! Be the first!!!]

【Teacher Qiao Qiao, win! ! 】

[Wow! What's this live broadcast room for? Is the desire to win so strong? ]

[What? Is there a PK mission?! What is it for? ]

[…Oh, digging lotus roots]

The barrage was full of passion and attracted many new fans, and then made them all speechless. Qiao Qiao knew nothing about this, he only cared whether the students had learned new technologies... At this moment, he really chose a suitable small lotus root near the phone and groped down, and then successfully dug out a thin and long lotus root.

"Children! Look! We found it!"

  The comments were speechless:

[Bao, some skills are not something you have to learn...]

[Let’s just say, I have learned so many skills, can you give me a piece of land? ]

[Where’s the chicken soup? Is there any chicken soup for getting ashore with skills? Give me a big bowl.]

[Don’t say that. Don’t say that…]

[It seems that Xiao Yang has won this time. He has dug 3 in just a short while.]

[I think it's Chen Chi. Look at his movements. He's not in a hurry at all. He's very steady!]

[Chen Chi +1, Xiao Yang was so anxious that he almost broke one...]

Everyone commented on the new technology one by one, and then Yang Zhengxin suddenly cried out, "There's something in the mud!"

"Yes!" Qiao Qiao reminded: "I told you, there are loaches and some small fish here - did you step on the loaches? Be careful, there are also some yellow eels."

Yang Zhengxin was silent for a moment, and even took his first step cautiously.

……

At the other end, Lu Chuan looked at the navigation: "It will take another hour to reach Ningcheng."

Song Tan nodded: "I'll send a message to tell them, I've already brought it, they definitely can't refuse it."

This time, he not only brought things for Huo Xueying, but also for the fire department and retired dogs. There were no valuables, except for some food, and the bone powder made from the dried pig and cow bones that he had collected during this period.

Of course, the bone meal was not brought directly, but was mixed with last year's hard-to-bite sweet potatoes, chestnuts, rice bran, etc. and rolled into large balls.

Whether it is nutritious or not, dogs will definitely like it.

The idea was good, but I was careless and chose the wrong person. As soon as the message was sent out, Zhu Xin, the real chatterbox, quickly replied: "What? You guys are coming? Why didn't you tell me earlier! I wanted to go in through the back door!"

"What did you bring? What did you bring? What did you bring?"

"How many days are you coming here to play? Do you have time? I'll bring my girlfriend to meet you guys!"

"My girlfriend is not picky about food. She likes everything in your house!"

"Boss Song, you brought good things for the dog! Are you trying to trick the dog back from me again?"

"But then again, the dogs are doing pretty well in your place. Didn't you say you were going to find a partner for them? Have you found one? When will you have a puppy? We want one..."

"My cousin asks me to help you every day! That mugwort! Hurry up and get the mugwort! Do we have to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"She's so anxious, is it really that effective? Don't just think about them, there are a lot of mosquitoes here too!"

"By the way, when exactly will you arrive? Otherwise, I'll treat you guys to lunch at noon!"

Although he didn't send any voice messages, Song Tan felt his ears buzzing when he saw the long list of messages.

Gossip can be very destructive.

good night.
