The vegetable garden was tidy and the vegetable plots were divided into cages.
Each cage is about the same width and length, and is planted with cucumbers, beans, green peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes.
There are also lettuce, leeks, bok choy, chicken greens, chives, green onions, ginger, garlic, and garlic sprouts.
There is a large clump of mint in the damp corner of the back wall, and pumpkins, winter melons, loofahs, and chayote are also planted in the corner.
Pumpkins and winter melons grow on the ground, while loofahs grow on a person-high rack.
The Buddha's hand melons occupied a walnut tree in the corner of the wall, wrapping the walnut tree densely.
This bitter melon can be eaten for many years. The tip of the melon can be eaten. It can be fried when the melon is tender, and boiled when it grows older.
I heard that during the famine a few years ago, many families survived by relying on the fruits and vegetables in their vegetable gardens.
It is June now, the time when the vegetable garden has the most complete varieties, is the tenderest and most delicious.
The tender green beans sway in the wind on the racks, and the cowpeas have just sprouted their slender bodies.
The green peppers and eggplants are hanging on the trees fresh, while some of the tomatoes are already bright red.
There are also small cucumbers on the cucumber vines, which are round and fragrant, and are very attractive, especially ginkgo.
People in Northeast China love to eat vegetables with pickles. Ever since the vegetables from the vegetable garden can be eaten, Bai Guoguo can see a small basket of green vegetables with pickles every time he comes to the He family for a meal.
As a result, even Bai Guoguo was forced to love this way of eating. Once he got used to it, he would miss it if he didn't eat it for a while.
Little Huzi still remembered that he told Bai Guoguo before coming that he wanted to pick cucumbers for her. As soon as he entered the vegetable garden, he couldn't wait to go straight to the cucumbers.
Bai Guoguo and Aunt Wang followed leisurely behind, smiling as they watched the little guy having fun!
"I'll pick some green onions and cut some leeks for you. They'll be delicious with noodles in the morning. Would you like some lettuce? The beans and tomatoes are ready to eat too. Pick some more."
"I want the shallots and leeks. The lettuce is still small, so I'll let it grow. I also want some cucumbers and tomatoes, but I don't want the beans. Auntie, the mint you planted for me by the well is growing really well."
"Really? After the busy farming season is over in a few days, I'll plant some vegetables and condiments in the yard for you. You like pickled vegetables, right? I'll also give you some greens, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, cucumbers, eggplants, and radishes."
"Auntie, you are so kind. You have arranged everything clearly for me. When the fruits from my garden come down, I will give them to you first to taste!"
"Hahaha~~ You little girl, you have such a sweet mouth. That lady is waiting to enjoy your blessing!"
"Of course, we're on our own!"
Bai Guoguo and Aunt Wang were having a great time chatting while picking vegetables.
"Grandma, Sister Bai, look, I picked a lot of cucumbers and tomatoes."
Little Tiger stumbled over in the vegetable ditch, carrying a small basket as big as three lunch boxes.
"Oh, thank you, my big darling. It's enough for me to eat for several days. You are really capable!"
Hearing Bai Guoguo's praise, Xiao Huzi's ears turned red.
"I've picked enough vegetables, Auntie. I'll go back now and come back in the evening."
Bai Guoguo took Hu Zi's small vegetable basket and poured the tomatoes and cucumbers into her own basket.
She took the basket from Aunt Wang with her other hand, which was filled with green onions, leeks, and cabbage that Aunt Wang had picked for her.
In her own basket there were a few tender loofahs, a few tender eggplants, a few green peppers, plus the cucumbers and tomatoes picked by Xiao Huzi.
Today is another wonderful day of eating and taking things!
"Go ahead, go ahead. Take advantage of the holiday to rest. You've lost a lot of weight recently!"
Aunt Wang waved her hand with a smile and grabbed Xiaohu who wanted to follow Bai Guoguo.
This girl has been through so much in the past two months, she must be exhausted. Let her have more rest.
After saying goodbye to the He family and leaving the house, he returned to his own yard in a few steps.
Bai Guoguo took out the cake mold he used when he was a food anchor and prepared to make two birthday cakes.
In order to make this cake, she even went to the pastry factory and bought some fresh cream.
As the products produced by the pastry factory became more and more popular, Baiguoguo added several varieties, including cream sandwich bread.
The cream is ordered from a ranch more than 40 kilometers away. The ranch sends people to deliver fresh milk, cream and butter early every morning.
At that time, there was not so much technology and hard work, and fresh cream was really delicious. It was delicate and smooth, melted in the mouth, and the milky aroma lingered in the mouth for a long time.
Bai Guoguo is thinking about getting a baking oven in the county store in the future and starting a custom birthday cake business.
Yes, now they also have a special pastry factory store in the county town.
I brought the cream back home and since there was no one around, I put the cream into the space for safekeeping.
The next step is to beat the egg whites, beat the egg yolks and flour, mix them evenly, pour the cake batter into the mold, and put it in the oven to bake.
This time, Bai Guoguo baked a round cake and a square cake.
The square one was baked for He Gang. I put more oil and less sugar in it and baked it a little drier.
When the time comes, find a special basket with a lid for mountain product gift packages, pack them up and mail them.
