Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 222 Trivia (2)
Even so, when Mrs. Li asked them if they would feel tired, both of them shook their heads in unison, smiling and claiming that they were not tired.

Because the newly launched service provides great convenience to customers, the number of meals ordered in the shop is increasing day by day. After half a month, the profit of the shop has reached nearly 700 taels.

After discussing with Widow Zheng, Mrs. Li gave a little bonus to all the employees in the shop as a reward for their hard work recently.

Shunzi and Manzi were the hardest ones to calculate, so both of them received an extra reward of five taels of silver in addition to their wages.

Lin Xiaoqiao quietly watched the performance of the two young men in the past few months, and felt that they were both kind and able to endure hardships, and they were not the kind of people who cheated and played tricks.

So he told them that as long as the two of them work hard, they will be well cultivated in the future, so that they can get rid of their status as boys and become shopkeepers of the shop.

The two young men knew in their hearts that the words of this little boss were important, so while they were pleasantly surprised, they also expressed their determination: they must do a good job in the future.

In the middle of June, it was getting hotter every day. The two sisters Lin Xiaoqiao seldom went to the shop during the day, and they tried to stay at home to avoid the heat.

Now, what Lin Xiaoqiao has to do every day is to water the vegetable field that she takes care of, and try to keep the vegetables and fruits hydrated.

In addition, the mustard seeds that Lin Erniu took back from the fields just a few days ago were spread out in the sun in the evening when the sun was not very poisonous, so as to prevent the seeds from getting damp and moldy. For half a year sowing.

Speaking of this, it is quite fortunate. Maybe Lin Xiaoqiao is really talented in farming. She used the half-acre experimental field to really grow mustard greens that can bloom and bear seeds.

Although because of the hot weather, she didn't go to the field to participate in harvesting the mustard greens, but when Lin Erniu pulled the mustard stalks back, she also peeled the mustard greens by herself.

Half an acre of mustard greens, after processing, also got seven or eight catties of seeds. Lin Xiaoqiao planned to sow these seeds in the field again in August to plant seven or eight mus.

During the drying of the seeds, the tomatoes that Lin Xiaoqiao had been paying close attention to finally lived up to her expectations. The green fruits gradually grew into red fruits.

That day, Lin Xiaoqiao stepped on the time as usual and walked around the vegetable field. When she found out, she couldn't help crying out in surprise, causing Lin Xiaoxi, who was concentrating on embroidery in the room, to take a needle and thread Her hands trembled in fright, thinking that she had fallen outside or something happened, she sucked her finger that was pricked by the needle, and ran out in a hurry, but what she saw was her little My sister was screaming and jumping at those red fruits called 'tomatoes', going crazy.

Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't wait to pick off two of them, and after rinsing them with well water, the two sisters tasted them one by one.

The first bite was sour and sweet, um, that’s the taste, probably because of the pure natural green food, so Lin Xiaoqiao felt that the tomatoes tasted better than those grown in the greenhouses in the previous life .

But it was also much smaller, so Lin Xiaoqiao ate up the tomatoes in his hand in two or three bites.

In the evening, Lin Xiaoqiao deliberately picked seven or eight tomatoes and took them to the shop. She cooked the dishes herself, fried a plate of delicious 'tomato scrambled eggs', and made a plate of 'candied tomatoes'.

These two new dishes are relatively refreshing and appetizing, especially in such a hot weather, they can increase people's appetite.

Widow Zheng, who has never had a good appetite recently, actually ate a bowl of rice with ease on this plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Lin Xiaoqiao also felt very relieved when she saw it. Since entering June, Widow Zheng's appetite has not been very good every day. It can be said that it is getting thinner day by day.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Li also tried to cook some dishes in different ways every day, but the effect was not very obvious. Widow Zheng herself felt that there was nothing wrong with it. She has no appetite at this time of year. According to her own words , it may be a bit bitter summer.

Looking at her eating situation today, it seems that the situation has improved, so Li asked her daughter to bring some tomatoes tomorrow and fry them on a plate.

Although Lin Xiaoqiao was a little bit reluctant, she only planted palm-sized, small plots of land. If she consumed four or five tomatoes a day, she probably would have to pick them all in a few days.

However, before Chen Xuewen left, she promised that she would take good care of his mother. If brother Xuewen knew that her mother had lost so much weight, she would be more worried.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoqiao had to endure the pain in her heart, picked three or four tomatoes every day, and took them to the shop, and she herself was not willing to pick any of them and eat them.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xiaoqiao had no choice but to comfort himself, save more seeds this year, and grow more seeds next year, so that he can enjoy himself.

At the beginning of July, because the weather was so hot, the students couldn't calm down to study in the school every day, and I heard that some students had heat stroke, so all the schools in Anping Town gave the students a month leave, and wait until the beginning of August to start school again.

The two brothers Dalang Erlang don't need it every day, and they get up early to go to school to study, but the two of them didn't relax their studies because of the holiday, because there will be an exam for children in a short time. , Said that this year I will pass the children's examination.

Therefore, even if the two of them don't have to go to school, they will wake up very consciously every morning and read in the morning, stay in the study during the day, read books, practice calligraphy and do homework, and go to their teacher's house every now and then to ask for advice about what happened when they were reading. Difficult Problems.

Lin Xiaoqiao knew that her two older brothers were both enlightened later than others, and had no parents when they studied, so they worked so hard.

Seeing them working so hard, Lin Xiaoqiao tried to persuade her several times, but the two brothers couldn't listen to her, and would only use some words like "we know it in our hearts" to prevaricate her.

Every time she watched her two elder brothers frown on a difficult question, thinking about it for a long time, Lin Xiaoqiao especially hoped that her elder brother Xuewen would show up.

Hey - all the schools in this town have been closed, and I don't know if the school in the provincial capital is on holiday. I really hope that brother Xuewen can come back. He has been there for half a year.
