Chapter 175 Off-season Vegetables
Song Wei thought very clearly that the main purpose of growing these off-season vegetables was to have food to eat in the winter, and even to eat well.
Now that she has all the conditions, she doesn't want to put herself in a difficult position.
Maybe it’s also due to the frequent food shortages in my previous life, so I just want to stock up on things.
It is definitely not possible to keep the off-season vegetables secret and sell them. Instead of selling them secretly and then being discovered and making the villagers jealous, it is better to hand them over directly to the team leader to expand the scale of cultivation.
It would even be possible if the team leader went to the commune to talk to the leaders, and these off-season vegetables could be sold openly, which could be considered as setting up a workshop for the village.
And if she just wants to make money, she has other ways.
Go to the mountains to hunt wild animals for the black market, and purchase medicinal materials from the hospital.
So she really has no shortage of ways to make money.
Song Wei looked at the small seedlings that were not even as tall as her palm with a particularly gentle look in her eyes.
"Grow up quickly."
You can only eat it when you grow up.
The vegetables that have been grown change almost every day, especially those green vegetables and lettuces with short growth cycles.
It will be ready to eat in about a month.
More than ten days passed. Even though it snowed, Song Wei had arranged her schedule fully. She would eat melons when there were any, and learn to knit sweaters with a few female educated youth. When she couldn't sit still, she would run into the mountains.
She is not afraid of the cold like others. The temperature is just this low. The winters in her previous life were extremely cold, but even this couldn't stop the scavengers from going out to look for food.
When she went to the mountains, if she was lucky enough, she would occasionally come across pheasants, rabbits, etc. and bring them back, and she would also dig up herbs if she came across them.
Then every two days he would go to Lin Zhen to see how his vegetables were growing.
I don’t know if it’s because the manure is so fertile or if she really has some talent for planting, but the vegetables in the baskets are growing particularly well.
"Separate out some of the densely growing ones."
The seeds of the green vegetables were sown directly into the soil. After growing for half a month, they grew very densely in some places.
Song Wei ruthlessly pulled off some of the fresh and tender seedlings.
Nothing was wasted. A small handful was left for the mother and son sika deer, who had been eating dried vegetable leaves for a long time, to try. The rest they cooked for themselves.
Two sika deer smelled the fresh vegetables and came running over with the clatter of their hooves, and began to nibble on them impatiently.
But there was only a small handful and it was eaten up quickly.
The little sika deer bleated, trying to get Song Wei to feed it more.
Song Wei spread out his hands and let the little sika deer smell it, then touched its head: "It's gone."
The little sika deer shook its ears in disappointment.
After feeding the sika deer, she returned to the main room in the wind and snow.
Lin Zhen's meal is ready.
They ate radishes, cabbages and potatoes for a long time. Although Lin Zhen was a good cook and Song Wei was not picky about food.
But today's bowl of vermicelli stewed with green vegetables is definitely the best! Heidan looked very happy while eating it.
"Go talk to the captain tomorrow and plant some vegetables early in the winter so you can sell them."
Anyway, no one has anything to do in winter, so off-season vegetables can not only kill time, allowing everyone to eat more varieties of vegetables in winter, but also make money.
Lin Zhen nodded: "Okay."
"There are still some small green vegetables. You can take some to the captain, Great Grandfather's house, and Old Ji's place."
Lin Zhen’s legs had always been a problem for Mr. Ji, but now he is able to get out of bed, although he still doesn’t have much strength.
Lin Zhen felt warm in his heart as he listened to her arrangements.
I really want to marry her home soon.
The rough man felt a surge of heat in his heart, staring straight at Song Wei and said, "Let's get engaged next month."
Getting engaged in winter is a good opportunity for everyone to have free time and doesn't delay work.
Song Wei: Why are you suddenly talking about engagement?
But she nodded anyway.
"good."
Lin Zhen suddenly became as happy as a fool, and Heidan found it offensive.
"Brother, your smile is so scary."
Lin Zhen: "...Get lost, you know nothing!"
After dinner, Song Wei went back to the Youth League Home, while Lin Zhen went to find the team leader carrying some green vegetables.
As soon as she got back, Xu Lai Di started to talk nonsense to her.
"You're not even married yet, but you're already running to your man's house every day. How shameless!"
I don’t know if Xu Laidi has given up hope, but now she is blaming everything, the earth, and the air. She is dissatisfied with everything and wants to say something to everyone she sees.
During this period, he had many conflicts with other educated youth and even had several fights.
It can be said that he offended all the educated youth.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Song Wei just found it funny when he saw that twisted and jealous face.
"You are getting married soon, congratulations."
Who doesn't know how to be sarcastic?
Xu Lai Di's eyes were red and she looked at her with particularly resentment.
Because she knew that she failed to succeed in her plan against Song Jing, and it was all because of this woman.
Song Wei walked over: "Get out of the way, I'm in a good mood today, don't force me to beat you up."
Xu Lai Di clenched her fists in anger, and in a fit of rage, she cursed silently at Song Wei's back.
Xu Lai Di was in a bad mood. Although she suffered a great loss in this matter, who could she blame for her own actions? The educated youths did not indulge her.
If they provoke me, I will still scold and beat them.
On the other side is the captain's house.
The whole family's eyes almost popped out of their heads as they stared at the green vegetables that Lin Zhen brought them.
"Where...where did you get this from?"
"This is really a small green vegetable. It's so fresh and tender. Where did you find it, Lin Zhen?"
“It looks like it was just taken off!”
The captain's family was so shocked that their voices were much louder than usual.
Looking at that ordinary bunch of green vegetables, everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.
The captain looked at Lin Zhen's calm demeanor and glared at him: "You're going to drive us crazy, tell us what's going on!"
Lin Zhen waited until they were over their shock, then he told Song Wei how she grew off-season vegetables.
That tone is simply too proud.
“Out-of-season vegetables!”
"It was grown by Song Zhiqing. Do you still have any at home?!"
Lin Zhen nodded. He sat upright, tall, and held two handfuls of green vegetables in his hands.
"There are other varieties. My partner said we can give them to the team and grow them together. It would be best if we could build a vegetable greenhouse. Team leader, go and ask the commune leader for permission. We can grow more this winter and sell them to the big factories. They will definitely be able to eat them."
The captain stood up suddenly, paced back and forth with a pipe in his hand, staring at the green vegetables on the table with a fiery gaze, his expression obviously excited.
"Is Song Zhiqing really willing to teach us this technique?"
He was so excited that he walked for a long time and took several puffs of his cigarette before asking with a trembling voice.
Lin Zhen nodded: "Although my girlfriend is selfless and kind-hearted, uncle, please don't bully her. If she hands over this technology and things really work out, you should at least give her a technician position and pay her a salary every month. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
The captain's mouth twitched: "She hasn't even been married yet, and you're already showing off."
Lin Zhen held his head high and said, "She knitted my scarf. It looks nice, doesn't it?"
That silly grin with big teeth showing was simply unbearable to watch.
