Chapter 89 Spring Ploughing Farce
Spring ploughing started yesterday. She doesn’t know what it’s like here yet. She didn’t go to see it yesterday because she went to the county town. Today, she has nothing to do so she plans to go to the fields to see how everyone does spring ploughing. When she grows up, she may have to go to the fields too. The village can’t let her cut grass for pigs all the time, so now is the opportunity to observe and learn more.
Lu Xiaoxiao came to the fields next to the village. She saw everyone digging the ground with hoes. Every time they dug up the ground with the hoe, they dug up a piece of frozen hard soil. There were also many half-grown children pulling weeds and picking up stones. Everyone was sweating profusely from the work.
After watching for a while, she realized that they were loosening the soil that had been frozen all winter. If the soil was not loosened, it would be too hard to grow crops.
After watching the villagers digging for a while, Lu Xiaoxiao walked forward, and then she saw an unexpected scene that almost made her laugh to death. Liu Zhenzhen, the educated youth from Hai City who came with her, tried hard to lift the hoe, but she lifted it too high and had no strength to steady it, and she was pulled backward by the hoe and sat down on the ground.
The educated youth around her were laughing so hard that they almost choked. No one went up to help her. Ever since the last incident, no one liked her and wished she would suffer misfortune.
Since the educated youth stopped what they were doing and gathered in groups of three or four, the team leader saw them and came over to ask what was going on.
After understanding the situation, the team leader asked the educated youth to continue working, and emphasized that they would not get any work points if the land allocated to them was not well loosened.
After hearing the captain's words, the educated youth had no time to laugh at the joke and hurried back to the fields they were responsible for to continue working.
The team leader looked at Liu Zhenzhen who was sitting on the ground and said, "Liu Zhiqing, it seems that you are not suitable for the job of loosening the soil. Why don't you go and pull weeds and pick up stones like those kids? But I have to tell you in advance that pulling weeds and picking up stones don't earn as many work points as hoeing the ground."
Liu Zhenzhen was already very sad when she fell to the ground. Later, not only did no one come to help her, but they also laughed at her. She felt angry and embarrassed, and her lowered eyes were filled with venom. She swore in her heart that she would take revenge on those who laughed at her.
When she heard the captain's words, she knew that she was not able to continue hoeing the fields, so she had to tell the captain that she was willing to pull weeds and pick up stones.
After watching this farce, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly lost interest in continuing to shop. She might as well go back and read a book instead.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao swept the front yard, and then cleaned the main room, bedroom, and kitchen. She saw that her clothes were a little dirty, so she went into the space to take a shower and change into clean clothes.
I don’t know why she wanted to eat leek dumplings so much today, but she didn’t buy them when she was shopping for supplies, so it seems she has to make them herself.
Since you are going to make it, just make more at one time and eat it slowly.
She took out five pounds of flour and put it into the food processor, then added water and turned on the switch to knead the dough.
Chives are naturally indispensable for chive dumplings, so Lu Xiaoxiao went to the front yard and harvested a bunch of leeks with her mind. It must be said that the vegetables grown in space are good. The vegetables picked from the ground are cleaner than those washed. I don’t know what the principle is.
She rinsed and cut the leeks and put them into a bowl. Then she took out five eggs, fried them into crumbs and poured them into the bowl with the leeks. She added salt and pepper and stirred. The filling was ready.
Lu Xiaoxiao cut the kneaded dough into small dough balls, rolled them out with a rolling pin, wrapped the prepared fillings in them, and then fried them in a frying pan. The delicious chive dumplings were ready.
She took out a bowl of corn grits and sweet potato porridge that she had cooked earlier from the warehouse, and paired it with some freshly-cooked chive dumplings. It was really delicious.
The saying that the only things in life that should not be missed are delicious food and beautiful scenery is absolutely true.
