Chapter 197 Bring some food back



A refreshing floral fragrance spreads as the honey water enters the throat. The floral fragrance is not strong, but extremely light. It is precisely this extremely light floral fragrance that makes the taste of honey more layered.

In the past, there were wild bees that built nests on the wooden edges of the windows at home. The bees flew around, making life very inconvenient, so Xu Fuchun called on several men in the family to remove the beehive.

During the process, the honey kept dripping down, and it looked tempting.

No pesticides were used during the process, and the honey was later distributed among people. She tasted the pure wild honey and it was really different from the one bought in the supermarket.

The taste of delicious food will always be remembered in your heart.

When Xu Fuchun tasted the honey soaked in water, he found that it tasted even better than the wild honey.

Xu Fuchun knew that this honey was probably not cheap, so he held the handle of the cup tightly with trembling hands and only took two sips when drinking, not daring to drink too much.

Such a good thing should be saved for other people to drink. It would be a waste if she drinks it.

Xu Fuqiang and his brother-in-law started to get busy again. Zhang Qi and Huo Fengyan, who had just returned from pulling weeds and feeding the chickens and ducks, also joined in.

The rumors circulating in the village are not just about the Xu family farm making money.

The uncle-in-law took a look at the two handsome young men, grinned, and shouted to Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, which one is your boyfriend? Why don't you take the initiative to introduce him to me?"

Xu Qingzhi: “…”

She said helplessly: "Young Master, that's not true. It's just a rumor. This is a friend of the previous tenant of the old house who came from Kyoto."

Xu Qingzhi spoke frankly, but he couldn't resist his uncle's gossip. "Hey, young man, I understand. Now I'm too embarrassed to admit that I'm in love at home. Anyway, you've graduated now, are you still afraid of what your father will say about you?"

It was Xu Fuchun who stopped him: "Stop talking nonsense and get back to your work."

This time, we only dug a pit that was more than two meters long and wide for the composting. We followed my aunt's method and piled it up layer by layer. Finally, we covered it with soil and swept it with water.

"This is just the simplest one. Fuqiang, come here and I'll tell you a few more things." Xu Fuchun waved his hand, and when his younger brother stood in front of him, he taught him a few more tricks: "My eldest brother makes tofu, and the bean dregs can also be used for composting. When I grew vegetables before, he sent me some, and the compost made the vegetables grow well. Also, after the tea seeds are picked and the oil is pressed in the oil press, the oil cakes can also be kept for composting. The same is true for peanuts after the oil is pressed. The rest are all very good fertilizers. Burn the rice husks at home and sweep some into the soil, and there will be fewer insects in the vegetables you grow. Dad likes fishing, so don't throw away the fish intestines that we usually throw away when we eat fish at home. It's also good to keep them for composting. Just pay attention to the smell and the insects, and bury them deeper in the ground to prevent them from being dug out by stray dogs and cats outside."

After saying so much in one breath, there wasn't much water left in the cup that Xu Fuchun was holding, so he drank it all in one gulp and said, "If you still don't understand something later, come and ask me. You can add some bacterial fertilizer to this compost, but it doesn't matter if you don't. The vegetables you grew this way before were all delicious. It doesn't make sense that they won't taste good after using fertilizer."

Xu Fuchun waved his hand quickly, "No, I'm not used to eating outside, I'm used to eating at home."

She has trouble eating. Sometimes she can use chopsticks, but more often she uses a spoon. She eats like a child, spilling rice everywhere. She doesn't want to eat at other people's houses, just to avoid being disgusted by her.

"Stay and eat. Yanmei will be back soon after she started learning tractor skills. Her cooking skills have improved. Look at Qingzhi. He was so skinny before that he was just bones. Now he has gained some weight at home."

Xu Fuchun still waved his hand and shook his head to refuse.

Seeing this, the son-in-law at the side held Xu Fuqiang's hand and patted it, "Okay, Fuqiang, stop persuading us. It's convenient for us to go home and eat. There are still a lot of dishes left over from lunch. It would be a waste if we don't eat them in this hot weather."

The Xu family has inherited grandpa’s stubborn temper.

Xu Fuqiang knew that he couldn't persuade his sister to stay, so he took out a red banknote from his pocket and said, "Brother-in-law helped me today, so I'll give you a little as a token of my appreciation."

"Oh, we are all family, why are you talking to each other? I have nothing to do these days anyway, so I'm just sitting at home doing nothing." The brother-in-law pushed the money back and refused to take it.

This is another round of tug-of-war.

In the end, the brother-in-law still refused to accept the money.

Xu Qingzhi picked some vegetables from the field and tied them into bunches with the rice stalks nearby, so that it would be convenient to carry them. "Aunt, uncle, then take some vegetables back to eat."

Xu Fuchun and his wife had no pressure eating it before and thought it tasted good. The brother-in-law was thinking about when he could come to the Xu family's fields to pick some.

All the relatives in my family are like this. If someone grows more vegetables, it's no big deal to ask for some picking. But now the couple knows that these vegetables cost two hundred yuan per pound, so how can they dare to accept it?

"No need, Qingzhi, you can keep it and sell it." The young girl frowned and refused repeatedly.

"They have been picked. If you don't take them, they will go bad in this hot weather. You have helped so much, and my dad will feel bad if you don't ask for anything." Xu Qingzhi smiled and stuffed the vegetables directly into the hands of his brother-in-law.
