Chapter 66 Who doesn’t have a vegetable-growing gene?
After parting with his parents in the afternoon, Hang Jingshu returned to Yan's home.
"You're back so early?"
Grandma Yan sat on the sofa and looked at the time in surprise: "Xiaohang, you didn't go home?"
Hang Jingshu changed his shoes before replying, "My parents came to the county town for something today, so we had lunch together and didn't have to go back."
He put the chicken he bought on the way into the refrigerator. In addition, Hang Jingshu also bought some rapeseed and garlic. He heard from Grandma Yan that the heating here is very good in winter and he can just wear pajamas at home.
The first thought that came to Hang Jingshu's mind at that time was that it would be a shame not to grow some leafy vegetables to eat in such a suitable temperature.
As long as the temperature is high enough and the humidity is well controlled, you can definitely grow vegetables.
It is now the end of October, and it is said that the heating in the compound will start in mid-November, so there is still enough time.
Winters in the north are cold, and even though there are thousands of ways to cook cabbage, there will be times when you get tired of eating it.
So after Hang Jingshu got married in his previous life, he learned another way of growing vegetables, which was to grow garlic sprouts in a cellar.
The fertilizer needed is also very simple, stove ash can provide nutrients.
The seedlings that germinate when garlic is planted in the ground are called garlic sprouts. If they are bagged and not exposed to sunlight, they will turn into garlic chives.
When the garlic sprouts grow bigger, the flower stem in the middle will grow out, which is the garlic hair.
After removing the garlic buds, the nutrients will transfer downwards and eventually grow into new garlic heads.
It can be said that the garlic family has been utilized very thoroughly.
Garlic can be used to stir-fry. People in the north also like to make candied garlic and sweet garlic. In the end, I have all the flavors you like.
The cellars in the countryside are warm in winter and cool in summer. After the coldest days of winter, you can put bags of garlic sprouts in them to grow. You can eat them at home or grow a batch to sell.
Since the temperature conditions in the Yan family are so good, Hang Jingshu plans to grow various forms of garlic to eat, and also grow some lettuce, green onions and the like to eat fresh.
It was still early when he got home, so Hang Jingshu took out the manuscript he had written and reviewed it while he had some free time.
The current payment for writing a book can reach 15-20 yuan per thousand words, which shows how popular literary works are.
Hang Jingshu's stories are in line with modern trends, telling stories about girls' unremitting self-improvement and hard work.
Hang Jingshu is good at liberal arts and reads a lot, so he is quite comfortable with writing. He plans to write two chapters to test the waters and see how the results turn out.
The dinner prepared for the two elderly people was mushroom and chicken soup noodles, served with some scallion and egg steamed buns.
There is also blanched and chilled baby spinach, and sliced halved beef.
The number of spinach leaves in the field is decreasing, and once they freeze, they will be inedible.
In the spring of the following year, the spinach roots buried in the ground will sprout again. Compared with sowing vegetable seeds in the spring, the sprouts will be edible earlier, thus avoiding having no vegetables to eat in the spring.
The two old people had average appetites at night and didn't eat as much as they did before when there were more people around. So Hang Jingshu found ways to add nutrition to the two of them.
After dinner it was Hang Jingshu’s own review time. Tomorrow was the monthly exam. After reviewing the basic knowledge in the book, Hang Jingshu quickly fell asleep.
He got up early the next day and cooked some white beans and rice, and stuck today's menu on the refrigerator so that Yu Lihong could see it clearly.
Steamed beef with tomatoes, three fresh vegetables, corn and pork ribs soup, and some cold vegetables. Hang Jingshu prepared and cut the dishes, then went out with his schoolbag on his back.
Today is Monday, and it is also the time for the exam at the end of the month. As soon as Hang Jingshu entered the classroom, he felt that the atmosphere in the class was very solemn.
The senior year of high school is very important. Everyone takes every exam very seriously and can breathe a sigh of relief if they make progress.
If you regress...
We have to work harder to catch up.
At this time, what matters is not only the learning progress, but also the mentality.
The school sets up so many exams to train everyone's mentality for dealing with exams, so that they will not panic during large-scale exams and fail to perform at their normal level.
The examination room was set up halfway through the morning self-study session. After the seating order was shuffled, everyone took their own stationery and started the exam.
It was not until sunset, when the invigilator collected the test papers, that wailing sounds were heard from all over the classroom.
Zhou Xiaoli lay weakly on the desk: "Xiaohang~~~This is so difficult!!"
Teacher Cai was still working hard on the English test this time. Several basic variation questions made people dizzy and they couldn't figure out what should be added after the English words.
These questions were not easy for Hang Jingshu to answer. Some impatient students had already started to check the answers.
However, the results of this are usually mixed: the students who got the answers right are secretly happy, while the students who got the answers wrong are already secretly sad.
Hang Jingshu packed up his stationery and patted Zhou Xiaoli on the shoulder to comfort her: "Tomorrow is still a day, take your time."
Zhou Xiaoli waved her hands weakly: "I can't compare with you who are good at studying. I think I will fall behind again this time."
Wang Chongyun walked up to Hang Jingshu and started talking to her: "Xiaohang, what did you write in those sentence-making questions in English?"
He pushed the draft paper over and motioned for Hang Jingshu to take a look: "See if this is correct."
As soon as the draft paper was placed on Hang Jingshu's desk, several heads came over, all of whom were their good friends.
Lin Xiao also came closer with a book in her arms, her brows furrowed. “Why do I feel like Teacher Cai is deliberately trying to find out more about us?”
Last time it was Chinese that was more difficult, this time it is English. It seems that teachers of all subjects are putting in effort.
When Lin Xiao said this, Wang Chongyun and others also felt that it was right. Zhou Xiaoli raised her head and said, "The teachers' strength is unfathomable, it's frightening~"
The teachers at that time might not have any systematic teaching methods, but they were all very knowledgeable and their personal abilities were absolutely top-notch.
Class 1 of Grade 3 is a key class. Even the last-place student in the class can make it into the top 20 in the grade in other schools. This shows how high the level of the students here is.
With Lin Xiao joining the group, it became easier for the group to discuss issues, and Hang Jingshu's relationship with his classmates became more harmonious.
Examinations always take a long time, and the monthly exam didn’t end until the next afternoon.
As it was not yet time to leave school, everyone put their books back in place and did some simple cleaning before packing up and going home.
Seeing Hang Jingshu was about to leave, Zhou Xiaoli quickly called her: "Xiao Hang! Wait for me."
Hang Jingshu was waiting for her at the classroom door, carrying his schoolbag.
Following Zhou Xiaoli were several female classmates whom she had met at the school gate.
The exams were over, and adhering to the idea of being happy every day, Zhou Xiaoli quickly achieved self-healing and started to care about other problems.
"Xiao Hang, we went to the commercial street on Sunday, but we didn't see anyone selling hairpins like yours. Where did you buy them?"
Forgot about that!
Hang Jingshu saw Wang Silan's message when he went home that day. He had been setting up a stall in the county town recently and had neglected the business in the city.
In this regard, Hang Jingshu could only comfort everyone: "Maybe he went to sell somewhere else last Sunday, maybe he will be back this Sunday."
Zhou Xiaoli thought it was very possible: "Yes, why don't we go shopping together on Sunday! I know a clothing store that has really beautiful small ornaments!"
"Okay," Hang Jingshu agreed straightforwardly. He had to go to the post office to mail letters on Sunday anyway, so taking a walk wouldn't be a big deal.
But the most urgent thing now is to quickly notify my mother to set up the stall here!
P.S. Thank you all for your generous gifts and the encouragement from all readers!
Let me say this here, our Xiao Hang is not a docile heroine, the whole story is mainly about career.
Stable updates every day, and leave will be notified in advance.
