Chapter 542 Planting Lotus Roots
I also told them to take turns among the six of them, with two people helping with housework every day. If there was other work, I would ask the others to do it together.
At the beginning, we have to set some rules and our family members have to get used to it.
Although Qiao Xuan herself doesn't really care about such rules from the bottom of her heart, not caring is one thing, and having to do so is another.
Fang smiled and said, "Okay, it's good that you have made such an arrangement, so there won't be any chaos. Oh, you don't know, this morning six maids were surrounding me and vying for work, it really gave me a headache!"
Yang Xiaoni was also still frightened: "Yes, yes! Oh, I'm really not used to it!"
Qiao Xuan smiled: "If mother needs them to do anything, just ask them. The same goes for Third Sister-in-law. This is just the beginning. I'm afraid there will be more people in the future!"
Today's breakfast is white rice porridge, steamed buns and flower rolls, and kimchi, chopped bamboo shoots, sauerkraut, bacon, chili peppers and garlic stir-fried to go with the porridge.
The porridge was fragrant and the rice grains were distinct and full, smooth and soft. The steamed buns were white and soft, and the flower rolls were smeared with chopped green onions, which made the aroma fragrant. The kimchi was still so mouth-watering, and the bamboo shoots, bacon and sauerkraut were stir-fried, and the aroma, spiciness and freshness were all brought to the extreme, which was very tempting.
Although the breakfast is simple, it is full of flavor.
Qiao Xuan converted an empty room in the backyard into a dining room for the servants, and put out an octagonal table and stools. Chunyu and the others would eat there from then on.
Perhaps they were unfamiliar with the work and had never done any bamboo cutting work in the mountains, so they did not wait. After breakfast, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan went to Zhangjia Village.
Two men were driving a donkey cart.
As for Qu Shan, he left early in the morning.
He still had to meet up with the people in Zhangjia Village and rush back to the provincial capital, so he couldn't afford to waste time.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan came to Zhangjia Village and called a few people from the three families to plant lotus roots in the pond.
The pond was dug before the New Year, but water was only filled last month. All the trees that should be planted around the pond have already been planted.
There are two weeping willows, four peach trees, one pomegranate, one loquat, one elm, one locust tree, and two mulberry trees.
Planting lotus roots is a rare thing. No one in the village has ever seen it before, and it attracted many people to watch.
"Oh, this is the lotus root. It doesn't look very good at all."
"What does it matter if it looks good or not? I heard it tastes good!"
"I've seen the flowers of this lotus root, they are beautiful!"
"Can it survive here? Can it survive in a mud pond?"
"Yeah, I've never seen anything like this."
“.”
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan did not discuss these idle talks. They watched Lin Mian, Qiao Shisan and others planting lotus roots by the pond. What Qiao Xuan saw were the tender, green, pearl-like lotus seeds, and the lotus roots that could be stewed in soup, served cold, stir-fried, ground into powder and steamed, and made into osmanthus candied lotus roots and lotus root powder. She was so happy.
She has never worried about whether the crops can survive.
The lotus roots and water chestnuts have been planted.
Water chestnuts cannot be planted directly in ponds. They should be planted like rice, first raising seedlings and then transplanting them.
Qiao Xuan reported the matter to Ding Erzhu and Zhou.
There are lotus roots in the pond, and water chestnuts are on the way. What is missing now are fish and shrimp.
You can’t buy fish and shrimp fry, you have to find a way to get them yourself.
It seems that after I go back, I should take Xiaoqi and the others to the river to catch fish and shrimps.
There will be a big update tomorrow, please give me a monthly ticket.
