Chapter 75: September 96 sky light
September 96 sky light
The lazy and comfortable life in Shanghe Village is like a vacation. The pleasant temperature, slow pace, simple folk customs and green mountains and green waters. If my parents can come and live together, they will definitely love it here.
Of course, if I didn't have to review the questions and memorize knowledge points every day, my life would definitely be more enjoyable.
It has become a routine to brush the questions every afternoon until the evening. I worry that my progress will be too slow, and I will not be able to keep up with Liang Jiangbo before the college entrance examination. When I have nightmares, all I dream about is that I am in a daze during the examination, and I will close the paper soon. Only then did he regain his senses, and then burst into tears.
I’m under a lot of pressure. Sometimes I find that I can’t answer the questions that are familiar to me. I can’t help but worry about what to do if the same problem occurs in the college entrance examination, so I’m so anxious that I can’t sleep overnight. .
My son is heartless. Sometimes he promises to 'take the test together' with his father. As a result, he falls asleep in his father's arms without accompany him to do half the test paper. He is not willing to share the pressure of his father at all.
Sometimes I will stand by the wall to compare my stature. Now my height is very slow and I can hardly feel it. It seems that I am unlikely to become a big man over 1.9 meters, but my face makes people feel I'm anxious, I'm still naive, I don't even grow a beard, I'm going to take the college entrance examination next year and I'm still wearing a baby face. Is this appropriate?
This is not appropriate.
But I can't make it out of this world, because I don't know what the world will be like if I don't pass Shimen, will I disappear out of thin air?
Neither Wang Jerry nor the two big dogs can open the door of my house, nor can the heavy slate break in. If I suddenly disappear, Wang Jerry, Fu and Ana will be in danger.
Of course, I can also talk to other people in advance and let them take care of Wang Jerry, Ah Fu and Ana, but can I rest assured?
I still can't rest assured. In fact, I suspect that before Wang Jerry is six or even ten years old, I will not give birth to the thought of trying to come to this world for a month.
Whoops! If my face is tender, I will be tender. At least it didn't make me grow short. I really can't imagine how desperate I would be if I kept a height of one meter or three.
The pleasant and lazy August of this world has just passed. In addition to building walls, the villagers also built a public toilet at my call this month. No longer, if I have free time in the future, I would like to let every household have its own toilet and live a more convenient and comfortable life.
Shimen opened, and in a black and white world that had lost its luster, I pushed a cart full of the world's local specialties through Shimen. The best specialties of this season are yellow lilac seeds and "beets".
I used to like beets in this world. It is a perennial plant that grows in the mud or sand by the water. When picking beets, you only need to leave their fat and tender roots. It will sprout and grow. The initially grown beets are the size of a child's fist, a bit like cabbage or cabbage, but much crisper and sweeter. Mixed into lettuce salad is Wang Jerry's favorite, shredded and boiled in soup or The taste of being cut in half and stewed into the broth is also extremely delicious.
A few years ago, I tried to dig up the roots of the beet and transplant it to the riverside by the village. It grew very well with another beet that was originally growing there. The villagers used to be the beet seedlings that suddenly appeared. Surprised.
Going out to pick wild vegetables is a part of the daily life of the villagers. Everyone is familiar with the distribution of various wild vegetables. The perennial wild vegetable seedlings outside the village are considered public goods in everyone's concept. The opportunity to eat will also give others the opportunity to eat.
When I go out to pick wild vegetables, I always act with other people in the village, so I have never broken the established rules of the village. This is an important reason why the villagers of Shanghe Village are willing to regard me as a member. There is no such tacit understanding. Although we have repeatedly told them that we are sojourn guests and that we should respect the customs of the village, frictions and conflicts have not been interrupted.
If it weren't for the fact that the living conditions were better than before, and my words had enough weight, the two groups might have fought several times.
The delicious beets can be brought back to this world this time, in addition to the gifts from the villagers, it is also thanks to my own successful "root cutting method", which uses a blade to cut the fat and tender roots of the beets into sections. A small section of about two centimeters is first dried for half a day, and then buried in the sterilized moist sand. After about ten days, the thin roots will grow in the sand, and the buds will also break through the thin sand, which is very cute. .
I used the root cutting method to cultivate twenty robust beet seedlings, and planted them in the shallow river sand at the entrance of the village. The villagers were amazed at the rows of tender seedlings. These beet seedlings almost made the number of beets around the village. doubled.
My success in cultivating beet seedlings is the biggest reason why people in the village are willing to keep the harvested beets and give them to me. Although the beet seedlings are too small to be picked and eaten this year, when they grow, everyone will be able to eat them regularly next year. to this delicious food.
Interesting, right? I cultivated seedlings and planted them by the river, and the whole village thanked me beamingly. This is because in their simple concept, only the things in my own house and the house next to me belong to me, and other things are mine. The roads built in the village and the walls built by everyone are public things and belong to everyone in the village.
So they naturally think that the vegetable seedlings I cultivate belong to the whole village, and they can come to pick them in the future, and they can enjoy the benefits.
I don't dislike their idea. In fact, after living here for a long time, I really understand their concept. I planted beet seedlings by the river instead of opening the seedbed myself because I had such a tacit understanding with them.
In short, this delicious beet will hopefully increase in production next year. If I am better at technology and can cultivate a small field of beet seedlings, my commissary will be able to sell excellent beets every month. You must know the deliciousness of beets. Not worse than the river bamboo shoots.
This time, I also specially circled a few beets that are far from the village entrance. They are rarely picked. I plan to let them bloom and bear seeds. If the seeds can be successfully collected, I plan to directly sow them, which is more efficient than root cuttings. too much.
This month's other popular product is the popular saffron. The golden saffron is like a gem, and the dried saffron is torn apart and has a rich honey like a raisin, with a sweet and sour taste. As always, everyone will love it.
The harvest of yellow lilac seeds was picked for the first time. The process of adding sugar to make jam is carried out in Shanghe Village. The snow-like white sugar is an eye-opener for men, women and children in the village. Each family was given a small jar of sugar. This luxurious thing conquered everyone. The only source of sugar for the villagers was those small ripe berries, but it was nothing compared to the pure sweetness of sugar.
The villagers who made the jam were all carefully bathed in advance. Baskets of clean and plump yellow lilac seeds were poured into the boiling cauldron. As the stirring continued to become pulpy, the sugar was added and continued to stir and cook. The aroma makes people drool, and when the jam starts to thicken and turns into a beautiful golden color like honey, the mashed dried beets are sprinkled in, and continue to stir, the sweet and sour jam begins to give off another fresh taste, let People couldn't help but leaned in and wanted to smell it carefully.
It was the idea of the village women to try to sprinkle crushed beets into the jam. They said that sun-dried beets have a unique fragrance, and the beets themselves have a slight sweetness, which is very charming when mixed with the sweet and sour of yellow lilac seeds. It tastes great as a dip.
This time, I used a cart to bring back the beets and fresh saffron wrapped in plastic wrap. There were only thirty or forty fist-sized small packages for everyone to try. The dried saffron was extracted and made by myself. In the pure crystal bottle, there are about thirty, and the jam is the big one, there are more than seventy cans.
These are the parts I made for the first time. In the next two months, more liangzi will ripen one after another, and I can make more jams.
The ginseng potatoes in the fields in the village are also ripe, but due to lack of care, the harvest is very mediocre, so I only harvested a small part, sliced it, boiled it, dried it and made it into dry, and prepared to pack it into small portions for sale.
In addition to the agricultural products, I also brought back a few pieces of cooked leather this time, but these two whole pieces of leather are not going to be sold. They are gifts for my parents. My mother said that she had a very soft leather when she was a child. And the dog-skin cushions are very warm and comfortable to sit on in winter. I think these two furs will be very comfortable when they are spread on the soft couch in their room.
After unloading things, the stone gate was closed, and my parents also watched the time to come to the basement to see my harvest.
The crystal jars neatly placed in the cardboard box and the packs of wild vegetables made them happy, and they took a look at the jam with bits of green spice foam, and said that the jars I made are getting more and more beautiful, and they are about the same size. , as in mass-produced machines.
The lid on the crystal clear jar is also made of crystal. I was worried that it would be too easy to break, but it was specially strengthened and thickened. It would not be broken under normal bumps and bumps, and it was very reliable.
The fresh and ripe fruits of lilac fruit are like orange gems. My parents like it very much. I have tasted it a few times and said it is delicious. He smiled happily and said that he would keep some in the refrigerator to eat slowly.
The dried yellow lilac fruit also brought back my dad's memory. I didn't eat it last year, and he regretted it. He didn't expect it to come again this year.
The next day, the commissary department put up a sign of "Special Sale of Local Products at the beginning of the month" and the effect was amazing. All the wild vegetables were sold out in a short time.
Many people thought that they would never see the "commissary wild vegetables" again in the future. Unexpectedly, after my house was rebuilt, the high-end and western-style commissary actually sold local specialties again.
The commissary’s wild vegetables are as economical as ever, three yuan for a small package of wild vegetables or berries. This time, the yellow lilac berries and small packages of beets are highly recommended by my parents, and each person is limited to one, and they will have to wait for the next month when they are sold out.
The sweet and sour yellow lilac seeds are very popular, and the beets named "water lettuce" were sold out in just two hours. Its delicious and fragrant taste is something that everyone has never encountered before. And the freshness and sweetness after the fried pork was an eye-opener for the neighbors. Many people fell in love with this delicious wild vegetable immediately after eating it. They came to ask my dad where he could buy it. Unfortunately, my parents didn’t It was revealed to them that they only said that there would be more next month. They were unwilling and bought some other souvenirs before leaving.
The dried yellow lilac fruit in a beautiful glass bottle also sells well. It costs 8 yuan a bottle. It is a good snack for children. My parents always tell customers that this sweet and sour dried fruit is easy to make people lose their teeth. Looking at the disapproval of the customers, it is estimated that there will be many people with sore teeth in the future.
The same 8 yuan a glass jar of yellow lilac jam is also very popular, they are stacked in a glass container and look very good under the light, and the clear jar reflects the charming brilliance, if it is not even without a label.” "Three no products" will surely sell for a good price.
The jam with crushed beets has a unique flavor. Everyone who has tasted it said that it is good. After the jam is eaten, the beautiful glass jar can also be used to hold other things. It is exquisite in shape and clear in material.
Dried yellow lilac seeds, jam and dried ginseng potato did not sell out on the first day, but they were shelf-stable and sold slowly on the counter.
The "specialty gift pack" brought to Liang Jiangbo and Tian Xin was also very popular. Those two buddies hadn't finished flipping through my test papers, so I took out some of the knowledge points and question types that had been summed up and asked me to go home first.
Liang Jiangbo's mother likes the fresh and sweet "water lettuce" very much. The last fish made her unforgettable, and she praised Liang Jiangbo several times, but Liang Jiangbo did not catch up with the trip. This time, let him eat "sauerkraut water lettuce and pork noodles" He was hooked. His dad just came back from the bar and wanted to go to bed because he was not feeling well, but he smelled the aroma and ate a big bowl with us. He also praised Liang Jiangbo's mother's cooking skills, which made Liang Jiangbo's mother Very happy.
Tian Xin's father, my sophomore class teacher was also very happy after receiving the gift. The way he expressed his concern was to stop me and give me a three-hour lesson. He talked about all the weak knowledge points that I had a headache, although he benefited a lot. But my brain cells also died a lot. After dinner at his house, I ran away under Tian Xin's apologetic eyes.
