Qiu Yuling used up almost all the vegetables she had at home: sliced potatoes, cut cucumbers into sections, and tore up eggplant, cabbage, and bean paste. She also needed green peppers, carrots, and bean sprouts...
What needed to be blanched was blanched, what needed to be boiled was boiled, and after they were all taken out and placed in a basin, Li Qingju had just returned from delivering the tomatoes.
Qiu Yuling swiftly took the coriander from her fourth aunt's hand, washed it in the vegetable basin, and cut it for later use. With a "sizzling" sound, a spicy and fresh fragrance that Li Qingju had never tasted before came to her nose.
"Oh my God, how come this smell is so strong! I can't resist the gluttony anymore." Li Qingju swallowed helplessly, and even her mother laughed.
The fish soup simmering on the stove on the other side was already waiting. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren smiled at each other and prepared to feast on it.
"Hiss~ It's so spicy and numb, so satisfying." Li Qingju felt that she was not as good at cooking as a child. She really couldn't do the two things that her daughter Yuling did.
Qiu Yuling doesn't dare to take credit for it. This is all thanks to the convenience of the big data era. Food bloggers are teaching you step by step. As long as the ingredients are good, the taste can be very similar.
The fish was indeed big, and it was the first time that their family had leftovers. “The food in the pot was untouched, so we scooped it into a basin, put the basin on a bucket of water to keep it cool, and eat it in the afternoon.” The old lady got up and cleaned up the mess, because her daughter and granddaughter were both full.
Grandma Yuling couldn't sleep, and under her daughter's guidance, she had learned how to use a sewing machine. She sat under the window frame and used the sewing machine to sew a quilt cover made of scraps of cloth.
"Grandma, I'm going to change my clothes and lock the door from the inside. If you come in later, please knock on the door." Qiu Yuling had been watching the old lady using the sewing machine for a while.
"Well, just change and go to sleep. Grandma can't sleep at noon either. It just so happens that your aunt has a new job here, so I can practice more."
As soon as Qiu Yuling entered the house and locked the door, she couldn't wait to enter her space farm.
The farm had changed dramatically. The original four sections had been merged into one. Everywhere she looked, she could see the "ocean," the "mulberry fields," the woods, and her chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, and sheep...
Haha, she is a little too proud of herself. In fact, it is just a big pond now, and it will take time to evolve into an ocean.
But she was even more delighted that her entire farm had reached level three. The ripening period of crops and orchards had been shortened by nearly half.
Nowadays, crops mature every two months, and fruit trees are grown twice a year. There is no change in living things for the time being, but the scale of her breeding is large, so even the current normal growth rate is good enough.
Qiu Yuling continued shopping, leaving only 100,000 points. The rest were used to reclaim land and plant trees. The exotic pond came with some common fish fry, which saved her the expense of exchanging them.
Being busy makes me happy, and a good harvest makes me swell. This is the voice from the new generation of agricultural tycoons!
Qiu Yuling took a small notebook and, as usual, recorded the suitable soil moisture, temperature, grain fullness, etc. of various crops, including the weeds and wild flowers, and any obvious differences in their appearance inside and outside. She recorded them one by one.
The farm solved her personal food and clothing problems in the early days, and she hopes that one day it will also benefit the whole area.
"Yuling, are you awake? Your friends are here to play with you."
"Grandma, your sewing is so beautiful." Wang Xiaotao was watching from the outer room the mini clothes, blankets and other things that Grandma Yuling made for the baby. They were so small and looked so delicate in her hands.
"Hey, I'm here." Qiu Yuling straightened her clothes, rubbed her eyes, and pretended to be sleepy and just woke up.
"Sister Xiaotao!"
"Hey, Yuling, let's go out and play." Wang Xiaotao was very satisfied with her new friend. During lunch, she kept asking her grandfather to make a slingshot for her.
She had heard Wang Xiaohu and the others show off Qiu Yuling's slingshot skills that morning. Slingshots were not popular in their area, and they used small bows. After hearing about it, she found that slingshots were smaller and easier to carry.
"I brought my little bow. You teach me how to use the slingshot and I teach you how to use the little bow. Then we two sisters will be invincible in the world!" Wang Xiaotao put her arms around Qiu Yuling's neck and started to have wild ideas.
Qiu Yuling: ...The first few sentences are fine, but the last one is not necessary!
"Fill some water and go play!" Grandma and Li Qingju were both very happy that Qiu Yuling could make friends. Other families were worried that their children would not be home, but they were very relieved.
Qiu Yuling filled her bottle with water, picked up her small backpack, and went out with Wang Xiaotao.
"I'll take you to a nice place later." Wang Xiaotao looked very mysterious when she spoke.
As long as it is a "good place", Qiu Yuling will easily feel yearning for it.
Let’s go!
Qiu Yuling had imagined how good it would be, but she didn't expect it to be this good!
The place Wang Xiaotao brought her to was a horse farm!
A whole vast grassland, connected to the Tianshan Mountains in the distance, running horses and soldiers, as well as camels, cattle and sheep, this is the farm shining into reality.
"Can you ride a horse? I'll take you to find a docile pony later. Let me tell you, I have my own pony, and she can recognize me." Qiu Yuling didn't expect that the friend she made had such a powerful background.
"Hello, Uncle Li!" Wang Xiaotao immediately stopped and saluted the officer on horseback.
Qiu Yuling was drawn into the atmosphere and followed suit with an awkward military salute. Then, realizing what was happening, her face flushed.
"Come on, follow Uncle Li and let her pick a pony for you. I'll teach you," Qiu Yuling followed as she was told.
"Da Long, Da Long, I'm here to see you." Wang Xiaotao skillfully took out a candy that had been peeled in advance and placed it in the palm of her hand. The red horse named Da Long was indeed familiar with the process. He snorted twice and then rolled the candy into his mouth with his tongue.
"So good! Have you eaten well? You must not grow slower than me!" Wang Xiaotao combed the mane on the horse's neck with her hands.
"Uncle Li, I'll go for a ride first. Please help my friend pick out a pony that can mount a rider. I'll teach her later." As soon as Wang Xiaotao finished speaking, she easily jumped onto the horse's back.
Dalong excitedly raised his front hooves and neighed. With a light shout from Wang Xiaotao, the horse galloped away in the wind, running faster and faster. Wang Xiaotao's hair was blown into a big backcomb, and her clothes were bulged into a small yurt.
Every hair on Qiu Yuling's body was clamoring for envy!
"Oh~ How about it, have you chosen?" Wang Xiaotao on horseback looked heroic, with wind in his throat, and his voice was a little hoarse at this moment, which had a unique flavor.
Qiu Yuling said she was ready. She was indeed a novice in this subject and was more eager than ever before, but also a little timid.
Seeing Qiu Yuling's slight fear, the officer who was leading the small horse beside her encouraged her: "Be steady on the horse's back and don't rock around. Sit up straight and lean back slightly. Put the front of your foot in the stirrup, press your heel down, and point your toes forward..."
