Chapter 506
A house full of people ate and drank, and soon ate the watermelon in the basin clean, and then had the energy to extend their magic claws to the water caltrops on the side.
Fortunately, this thing has a shell, and it takes two more processes to eat, which prevents everyone from filling their stomachs too full at once.
Even so, Seventh Grandpa came to the living room to collect the largest basin he used most conveniently when he was cooking, and saw that the trash can was almost filled with water caltrop shells and watermelon peels.
He couldn't help but be stunned: "You eat so much now, should I do less for lunch?"
Mentioning lunch, everyone had energy again.
But energy is energy, the stomach doesn't admit it!
Looking at the water caltrops in his hand at this moment, he wanted to eat and complained that it occupied the stomach. It was really a dilemma!
But kitchen affairs, Seventh Grandpa has always been in power, and he doesn't have to listen to any opinions at all. At this moment, he arranged it himself:
"Just right, I haven't cooked yet. How about eating cold noodles at noon?"
He calculated: "There is still a basin of bean sprouts issued yesterday. I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick some cucumbers and rub them into silk later, and then match them with some green pepper beef sauce, and fry some eggs... Drink tremella soup for soup, sigh!"
He looked reluctant: "... Just make do with it."
Professor Song and others:...
If this kind of day is called making do, then they can make do for a lifetime!
However, in Seventh Grandpa's eyes, this kind of thing that doesn't require technology at all is indeed making do. As for tomorrow's food, he has new ideas—
"Tantan, if there is nothing to do tonight, let's grind some tofu. Let's put a ground cage in the evening. Tomorrow, crucian carp stewed tofu, Mapo tofu. I'll mix some fermented bean curd—are you used to eating duck egg yolk pressed garlic? If you are used to it, I will press some."
God!
!
What kind of fairy day is this? The master and apprentices were so happy that they couldn't speak.
Until Wu Lan called Song Tan:
"Tantan, go to the small shop, I told people before, help to change 5000 yuan back."
Song Tan was stunned: "What is this money for?"
Wu Lan was collecting the bed sheets that were dried hard: "You asked Li Laotai and the others to handle Cherokee rose fruit before, and this money hasn't been given yet... It's also that I forgot. They are old, mobile phones can't play well, they want cash... There are only 300 yuan left at home, and I think I have to prepare more."
In fact, it was prepared at home before, and it was used for playing cards and giving gifts occasionally, but the money for asking people to pick peaches was spent recently, and it was hot and didn't run to the town, and it was delayed for a while.
Look, early in the morning, I heard that people went to the bank, and specifically entrusted this matter.
Song Tan responded: "Then I will transfer the money to them later?"
"Okay!"
Only 5000 yuan, Wu Lan, whose pattern has changed, doesn't take it seriously now. Thinking about it, she stopped her again: "Wait... you ask your dad to pack a basin of water caltrops and take it over."
The water caltrops in the pond are not many, and not few. Anyway, I didn't intend to sell it for money, just eat it as a snack. Song Tan didn't stingy to this extent, and responded briskly, carrying the basin and forgetting to walk to the small shop.
The small shop is actually a distance from home, and it takes ten or twenty minutes to walk. But Wu Lan has noticed now that her pair of children are not afraid of the sun, so she uses them more briskly.
It was Song Sancheng who was impatient to pick water caltrops, and at this moment he stood up extra actively: "I'll ride a motorcycle! This is so sunny."
"Pick your water caltrops, who is like you, silly and honest to get so many at once."
Song Sancheng:...
He had to sit down depressedly.
And here, Song Tan came to the small shop.
It is called a small shop, but it is completely different from the small shops seen everywhere in the city. This place is pitifully small, and the types of things are also pitifully scarce, but you can find a lot of childhood memories.
It's a pity that many snacks that are hard to see in the city are not loved by the family now.
"Aunt Wang, my mom asked me to come and change 5000 yuan."
Song Tan pushed open the glass door, and the woman watching TV in the room stood up immediately:
"Oh my! Tantan? It's really a rare guest... It's been a while since you came back, right? I haven't seen you walking around in the village... Look at your skin, how white and clean you are at home!"
Song Tan thought: I don't walk around in the village much, because I drive when I go out, or I move in the mountains.
But at this time, she just smiled: "My mom's genetics are good."
Aunt Wang nodded seriously: "Your mom is enjoying happiness now, and these children are by her side. You have also made a name for yourself in farming... Look at her, there is no pressure now, her skin is white and red, how energetic!"
"Your dad is too, looking several years younger when walking out."
Song Tan giggled: "Right, it must be that I was outside before, they were worried about me! Come, Aunt Wang, this is the water caltrop my dad fished early this morning, I brought you a basin."
"Oh my!"
Aunt Wang pulled open the drawer while counting the cash in her hand, and said with extra surprise: "It's amazing! You've been home for half a year, right? This is the first time I've tasted your family's things."
It was only when asking people in the village to work at the beginning that meals were wrapped. Later, there were more and more people in Song Tan's family, so she directly raised the price and didn't wrap meals.
Everyone knows what is planted in the ground when chatting, but they don't know whether it is the old Song family's nature or the young people don't know how to do things. It has been half a year, and everyone hasn't tasted a single cowpea.
It's also strange!
People in the village, for example, if a family plants watermelons, they must give relatives and friends one or two to taste. If not, say a polite word and let them pick it directly in the ground.
Even if it's not a gift, if you ask someone to work, it's also a matter of course to carry a bag of peaches or hold two watermelons back when leaving.
Living in the village, people don't talk about economic value, but about this human relationship and rural nature.
Song Tan doesn't know that she should do this, but the problem is, if the taste of their family's things is released early, the villagers, should they agree to change vegetable seedlings or not?
After changing, the family's growth is still far from good, so what should be said?
Even more, there are those who are jealous and destroy it?
Not to mention anything else, their family's mountain enclosure is absolutely impossible to be so easy, or the price must be raised again.
But now...
"Aunt Wang, this is my fault."
"My mom said she wanted to give everyone a taste at the beginning. But you also know, our family smashed all the money into planting this land, and the peaches and watermelons were wrapped by others. The car pulling watermelons still comes to fix the point every day, and it complains that the output is not enough. We really are embarrassed to send it out again..."
She complained to herself truthfully and falsely, turned her head and took the 5000 yuan and asked:
"Oh right, Aunt Wang, my mom asked me to ask, our family's vegetables are planted quite well this year, do you want seeds when the time comes? If you want, she will leave more."
