The stir-fried Chinese cabbage is different from the ones usually cooked at home. The white stems are as white as cream, and the leaves are as green as emerald green. From the appearance of the dish, it does not make people feel light and unappetizing.
Lin Kai picked up a piece of Chinese cabbage with chopsticks, and first smelled the fresh fragrance coming from the Chinese cabbage. The fragrance evoked his deep memories of the countryside.
He didn't know how to describe the taste. He just felt that it suddenly reminded him of a hot summer vacation when he was a child, when he secretly picked a fresh cucumber from his grandmother's vegetable garden.
He put the cabbage into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then he could smell a faint sweetness.
I thought to myself, these vegetables are indeed 200 yuan per pound...
Well-deserved reputation.
This vegetable, this price, it's really worth it.
“This little cabbage is delicious.”
Xu Yi and his companions were familiar with Fuwang Farm and knew that vegetables here had to be snatched away, and that one might not be able to get one even at 200 yuan per pound.
Chopsticks were used to pick up the bok choy.
After a while.
"tasty."
“Bok choy is really delicious.”
"It smells so good! How can the cabbage be fried so delicious? I have never eaten cabbage so delicious."
Several roommates praised the dish one after another, their faces showing satisfaction and happiness at tasting the delicious food.
"Zijun, I really envy you for being able to eat it at home. I only get to eat it this once, and I won't be able to eat it when I go back today." Lin Kai said with envy and regret in his eyes.
Wang Yanmei was always hospitable. When she heard Lin Kai say that, she quickly asked him to stay: "It's a holiday now, so you can stay here for a few more days. Auntie will stew duck for you tonight."
A few people wanted to be polite and make some excuses, but they were afraid that if they did so, the other party would really not keep them. What would they do then?
Immediately, several people nodded in agreement like chicks pounding garlic.
"Yes, Auntie."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"I'm sorry to bother you, auntie and uncle these few days."
Wang Yanmei waved her hand. "It's not a bother, it's not a bother. There's nothing fun to do in the countryside. You can stay as long as you want, as long as you're not bored."
"Not boring, not boring." said Xu Yi.
He really wanted to eat such delicious food and wanted to stay at Xu's house until he returned to school.
Anyway, his mother should be very happy too, after all, there is one less person to cook for and one less person to wash dishes at home.
Several people were captivated by the delicious food in front of them. They all ate two or three bowls, and Lin Kai even ate four bowls.
High school students’ appetite is amazing.
Although Wang Yanmei cooked enough rice, it was all eaten up, and the remaining soup from the cabbage was poured by Lin Kai into the rice and mixed with it.
Everyone felt a little embarrassed after eating so much.
After lunch, Xu Fuqiang went to the fields to harvest sweet potatoes.
"Harvesting sweet potatoes?" Lin Kai muttered.
Xu Yi suggested quietly: "Why don't we go and help together?"
Wu Bo: "Sure, I really like doing farm work. I usually help my family harvest and dry rice during National Day."
Zhang Song: "I agree. We live in Zijun's house, it would be unreasonable not to do some work. We can't eat for free. With such delicious food, we should do some work."
Lin Kai: "Okay, let's talk to Zijun."
The four found Xu Zijun and said they wanted to help harvest sweet potatoes.
Xu Zijun didn't expect his roommates to offer to help. He guessed that they might be bored and wanted to find something to do, so he said, "Okay, I'll tell my dad."
Xu Zijun told Xu Fuqiang about it. Xu Fuqiang wanted to be polite at first, but since several people were determined to help, he had no choice but to agree.
Several people put on gloves and tools and set off.
Grandpa came earlier and had already dug out some sweet potatoes.
Xu Zijun didn't understand the process either, but since they were already at the field, Xu Fuqiang didn't hesitate to start making arrangements.
The strong Wu Bo and Lin Kai dug the sweet potatoes, while Zhang Song and Xu Yi smashed the dug sweet potatoes to remove mud, cleaned them out and put them into baskets.
The sweet potato leaves were collected by Xu Qingzhi and Xu Zijun, brother and sister. There were a few pigs at home, and the sweet potato leaves could be made into pig food so that they would not be wasted.
Xu Fuqiang and Grandpa were digging sweet potatoes on the other side. The hoe was not very smart and they dug too fast for fear of hurting anyone.
I left it there for a few little kids to play with, and I didn't think much they could dig out.
Lin Kai had never dug sweet potatoes before, and wanted to show off. Seeing Xu Qingzhi standing next to him, he rolled up a piece of his short-sleeved shirt on his arm to show his muscles. However, he used too much force the first time, and the hoe stuck deep into the soil and could not be pulled out.
It took several people a lot of effort to figure it out. Xu Fuqiang saw it and, thinking that the little kids had little to do in the farm work, he came over to teach them.
When digging sweet potatoes, you must first pull the sweet potato leaves in one direction.
You need to be skillful to use a hoe.
Xu Fuqiang demonstrated it, and after three or four tries, the sweet potatoes in the soil appeared.
Lin Kai and Wu Bo dug a few more times and found a trick, which made it easier than before.
But it’s not that easy, farm work is always tiring.
After a while, everyone was sweating profusely.
Lin Kai stopped to rest for a while, with the hoe standing on the ground and his arm leaning on the hoe. Xu Qingzhi happened to come over and pick up sweet potato leaves.
He whispered, "Sister, go and rest over there, let's do it."
Xu Zijun, who was busy arranging sweet potato leaves, suddenly raised his head and looked over.
Lin Kai was sweating profusely and his face was red.
Xu Zijun narrowed his eyes and thought: This kid still has evil intentions.
