Chapter 65 Thinking about Eating Watermelon
She suddenly thought of the beans in the space.
You will get what you sow in the secret space.
When Su Qingshan bought seeds from the supply and marketing cooperative, he also bought some soybean seeds.
Unfortunately, the space in the yard is limited, so I could only sow a few soybean seeds. I just planted them for fun.
The remaining soybean seeds were casually placed by Su Qingshan under the eaves of the kitchen window and were smuggled into the space by Gu Qiqi.
The bean seeds were sown and a lot of beans were produced. After several rounds of planting, the beans were piled up on the grass in the space.
Soybean oil is extracted from soybeans.
Since there is a shortage of oil at home, can't we just press these soybeans into oil?
Gu Qiqi tried to use her mental power to extract the oil, but found it quite difficult.
Just as he had an idea, beans suddenly appeared out of nowhere in several empty baskets in the yard.
Dong Yulan, who was processing small fish and shrimps, was startled because one of the baskets was right next to her.
The beans in the basket were full in color, uniform in grain, and slightly larger than any beans she had ever seen.
"Oil!" Gu Qiqi pointed at the beans in the basket and a soft baby voice came out of her mouth.
Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan went to the vegetable garden to pick fruits to satisfy their cravings.
The two of them were staring at the big watermelon in the corner of the vegetable garden, drooling, and didn't notice anything happening over here.
Su Qingshan, who was killing a big black carp, was also shocked by Qibao's generosity.
Wow, so many beans!
That’s five full baskets!
"Oil, press oil!" Gu Qiqi emphasized it again when she saw her grandma staring at her in a daze.
"Baby, my dear baby, don't do this next time. Grandma can't stand being scared!"
Dong Yulan spoke softly to Qibao. If her hands hadn't been dirty from handling small fish and shrimps, she would have almost patted her chest to calm herself down...
Gu Qiqi: “…”
[I'm already very low-key]
In her opinion, it would be a waste of resources to keep a treasure without using it.
The family's financial situation was difficult, and she was just the right person to improve it.
It's not her style to keep a low profile and conceal things.
Be low-key to others and eat and drink at home.
"These beans are good. I'll ask the stonemason to make me a small stone mill tomorrow. I can use it to grind soy milk and make tofu at home!" Su Qingshan came to his senses, looked at the beans, and said with curiosity on his face.
Just by the fact that Qibao helped them hide the fish, he knew that the little girl was very smart.
Although it is small, it is very sensible in doing things.
It was also because her husband kept complaining in front of her that fish and shrimps were a waste of oil that her daughter tried to find a way to squeeze oil from beans for them.
A good girl responds to everything she does and her every word is echoed by her. How can they not love her?
"Oil, press oil!" Gu Qiqi emphasized again.
She has plenty of beans in her space if she wants them, and if they are not enough she can continue planting.
If there is a shortage of oil at home, we should start pressing oil first.
Small fish and shrimp are delicious, and they are even better when fried.
It's a pity that she is not suitable for fried food yet.
"Okay, okay, grandpa will find a way to get them to press oil! But it would be best if we could go out quietly and come back quietly, otherwise it would be difficult to explain if so many beans were seen by others!" Su Qingshan pondered.
Gu Qiqi: “Hide!”
Su Qingshan's eyes lit up. Yes, with the powerful Qibao here, it would be easy to transport the beans out of the army without anyone noticing, right?
"Okay, I happen to know where there is an oil press. Let's go there to press soybean oil tomorrow!" Su Qingshan looked happy.
"You heard it, old lady, right? My dear daughter loves you so much that she sent you so many soybeans! Don't be reluctant to use the oil when you cook the fish later!"
"I know, I know. You guys are going to press oil, so why not send some food to Mingyuan tomorrow!" Dong Yulan said, "How about I come with you?"
Su Qingshan: "Guannan and I are enough, you stay at home and look after Jinchen and Jinan!"
"Grandma, Grandpa!"
As soon as the two boys were mentioned, the voices of Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan came from the vegetable garden.
"Why did you two go to the melon field?" Dong Yulan shouted.
Watermelons were planted in a corner of the yard. In order to distinguish them, Dong Yulan simply called that place the watermelon field.
Perhaps because the soil in the yard was good, the watermelons grew particularly well. Although only ten seedlings were planted, there were more than twenty watermelons, and some of them weighed more than twenty kilograms.
"Grandma, can we eat the watermelon now?" asked the greedy little cat Gu Jinan.
"Okay, you're thinking about it!" Su Qingshan smiled.
"You two come and help. Once we finish processing these small fish and shrimps, grandma will reward you with watermelon!" Dong Yulan quickly grabbed the laborers.
Children are quick with their hands and feet, so it takes her a lot of time to deal with this large basin of fish and shrimps by herself, and she has other things to do at home!
"Hey, grandma, are you serious? Don't lie to children!" Upon hearing this, Gu Jinan ran over happily.
"Slow down, slow down, don't step on the vegetables!" Dong Yulan was so scared that she shouted.
Gu Jinan then slowed down his pace and carefully avoided the vegetables in the yard.
Gu Jinchen followed behind him at a leisurely pace.
"Of course I'm not lying to you. I'm going to pick a watermelon and chill it with cold water!" Dong Yulan was dealing with the innards of the small fish in her hand while giving instructions to Su Qingshan.
Su Qingshan had just scraped off the scales of the big black carp in his hand, and his hands were dirty.
Su Qingshan had to obey his wife's instructions, so he wiped his hands and walked towards the vegetable field.
Gu Qiqi saw it and followed behind, swaying from side to side.
She seldom went to the vegetable garden, so she just happened to go and see what was new, even though she had already seen these vegetables and fruits in the yard countless times with her spiritual sense.
The vegetables watered by the spiritual spring water are full of moisture and growing very well.
Come to the melon field.
Twenty or so plump watermelons were half hidden among the vines, some large and some small, the small ones were only the size of a fist, and the big ones weighed more than twenty kilograms...
Su Qingshan picked the biggest one, flicked it lightly with his fingers, and a crisp sound came out. He then checked the vine part and saw that it was brown and yellow. He was sure that the watermelon was ripe, so he picked it decisively.
When Su Qingshan walked out of the vegetable garden holding a big watermelon, Gu Jinan's eyes lit up with excitement.
Although Gu Jinchen also wanted to eat, he behaved in a reserved manner.
Su Qingshan placed the watermelon in a wooden basin and scooped out most of the water to let it dry.
Eating watermelon that has been heated in the field can easily cause diarrhea. It needs to be cooled down and only tastes good when it is ice-cold.
Perhaps it was the temptation of watermelon that made Gu Jinan and Gu Jinchen particularly skillful.
The task Dong Yulan gave them was to sort out the small shrimps.
Small fish need to have their internal organs processed, but small river shrimp do not.
It didn't take long for Gu Jinan and Gu Jinchen to pick all the river shrimps.
But grandma said that watermelon tastes better if it is kept in the freezer for a longer time.
The two little guys followed Dong Yulan's example and processed the internal organs of the small fish.
Dong Yulan taught them once, thinking that the two of them were too young to do it, but it turned out that she underestimated them.
Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan handled it very well and became proficient after practicing a few times.
There were so many small fish that it was boring to deal with them. After a long time, the two little guys inevitably became a little discouraged.
Gu Qiqi just moved a small stool and watched from the side. Seeing her brothers getting discouraged, she praised her brother for being great!
With their sister’s praise, the two little ones felt like they were injected with chicken blood and felt that they were able to do it again!
