Chapter 203 202. Picking Vegetables for Preparation [asking for monthly ticket]
Huaiyu stood in the vegetable field with a basket in his hand, and shouted to Zhou Qian, who was still digging the ground, "How many people are coming tonight?"
Zhou Qian stamped his feet, reminding Ivy to behave himself again, and then he counted: "Twelve!"
Huaiyu thought about his appetite, turned around and quietly went back to the utility shed to change two large baskets.
For potatoes, dig two nests first. I dug 14 big potatoes as big as two fists. For sweet potatoes, I turned over the vines first, cut off the overly dense and old vines, picked out the tender ones, found some green grass and tied them into five bundles, and put the rest on the edge of the field. The eldest and second cubs would come with the chickens to eat them.
The soybeans are not yet ripe, so there is no need to rush to ripen them. After all, everyone knows that the current soybeans are unpalatable, so there is no need to be too eye-catching.
Peppers, red and green, filled half a basket.
For cucumbers, you have to fill half a basket, and pick five old, bright yellow cucumbers that are as thick as calves. They are delicious whether stir-fried with peppers or stewed with meat.
She also had to pack a dozen eggplants. The eggplants she grew were the kind of plump purple eggplants, small in size but good in texture. Huaiyu was thinking about growing a batch of pickled eggplants in a couple of days, which should last through the winter.
Tomatoes! These tomatoes are not completely red on the branches, but rather red with a hint of green and yellow. However, this does not affect the taste at all. Huaiyu eats them as fruits anyway.
Otherwise, there is no other hope. Now the only fruit trees in the whole field are the small peach trees not far from the pond. Even if Huaiyu tries hard to make them grow, they have only grown branches 1 meter high.
It will take a long time for it to bear fruit.
However, Zhou Qian has come to be her neighbor, so if she is bolder and uses her supernatural powers more, it should be okay, right? Well, I will urge her again tomorrow.
We picked about twenty or thirty tomatoes and the two baskets were already full.
Huai Yu stared at it for a long time, and finally turned back and took another basket. If everyone was a big eater like Zhou Qian, two baskets might not be enough.
Then they dug out a dozen iron stick yams. I don’t know if they brought the meat. They stewed them in the broth and made them soft and break into pieces when touched. The soup should be delicious after the meat is melted.
A bunch of peanuts were pulled out, and the moist soil was covered with tender, milky yellow peanuts. Huai Yu skillfully pulled the peanut branches and leaves and knocked off the mud at the edge of the field. Then he sat on the edge of the field and pulled and hauled, and harvested half a basket of peanuts.
"A hemp house with a red tent and a fat white man living inside..."
As he was patting the mud, he suddenly saw a field mouse looking at him with sly eyes: "Xiao Tian!"
Huaiyu was surprised: "I haven't seen you for a long time."
But thinking about how she used to go out early and come back late, and Xiaotian wouldn't come to visit her at night, it was normal that she didn't see him, but she was at home every day during this period...
"Oh, are you afraid to show up when you see a stranger?"
The last time I ran into Lin Xuefeng at night, he made a hamster wheel for it out of water, trapped it in it and made it run around all over the place. It took a long time to disperse the water curtain.
I don’t know whether Xiao Tiangao was happy or not, but Huaiyu later found a pink plastic running roller from the pile of junk and put it in the hole where it used to be.
There's no way. Xiaotian is shy and her new family has yet to take her to see the place.
Huaiyu generously took a handful of fresh peanuts from the basket and handed them over: "Do you want me to help you dry them?"
"By the way, Zhou Qian is not a bad person. I told him that I have a vole friend. He won't hit you."
"But don't steal from his house! Otherwise, if he beats you to death, I will have no choice but to forgive him!"
Xiaotian stood up, his two round eyes widened even wider, and he made a series of "squeaks" as if he was cursing something very dirty.
But Huaiyu didn’t understand!
So she grabbed another handful of peanuts and handed them over: "Do you want me to shell them for you? Don't put them in your nest unless they are dried."
Xiaotian was really angry, but there were too many peanuts in front of him! Moreover, they were so fresh, and the mutation value was so low, which was a hundred times better than those in his nest before! Of course, he didn't know that all these peanuts in front of him were produced by the two handfuls in his nest.
But in short, Oda, who had seen the world, was calmed down. Now looking at the two large handfuls of peanuts in front of him, he was stunned.
After a while, he left quickly with one in his mouth. Not long after, three more field mice followed him, one big and two small.
Huaiyu blinked: "Did you solve the rat problem so quickly?"
"But having only two children in one birth, isn't that a bit useless for your family?"
What a cruel and heart-breaking word!
Oda shouted angrily again.
Sometimes it acts very smart and can understand human language, but most of the time it is pretending to be stupid. Huaiyu doesn't know whether it has mutated or what it has mutated into.
But looking at the two little voles that were obviously looking at her with curiosity, she thought that this might be a mutation in fertility.
After all, how could a vole work so hard yet only give birth to two babies in a litter?
The Oda family began to busy themselves with the moving, while Huaiyu brushed the mud off his hands and went to the field to pick a large handful of vegetables.
Finally, she piled a layer of cowpeas on top of the baskets, and there were three baskets of vegetables sticking out. It should be enough for a dozen big eaters, right? When she finished picking up the sweet potato vines, it was already 4:00 in the afternoon. With the arrival of summer, the days became longer. Now the sun was still dazzlingly bright, and Zhou Qian came over and took a look, and couldn't help but be stunned.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“So many dishes?”
"yes!"
Huaiyu said helplessly: "You can eat a whole bowl by yourself."
Zhou Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's because I have a biological prosthesis, which requires a lot of energy. Ordinary people..."
He shut his mouth.
Because of the high-intensity training and the lack of nutrition in food nowadays, everyone's appetite is actually amazing. Huaiyu made so many dishes, which should be able to fill everyone's stomach by accident.
He therefore said nothing more. Huaiyu needed both hands to carry the big baskets, his face flushed and heaving as he stumbled along. He held one in each hand: "I'll take these back on my bike first."
A bracket was tied to the back seat, and the basket was hung on both ends. I could ride the bike naturally and smoothly to my home.
——The long legs are really amazing.
Huai Yu was full of envy.
She went back to the house to pack up, thinking about the pheasant jerky she had saved, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally took half a basin with her.
There are only three pots in total. Half a pot has been eaten during this period of time. Now I can only give you another half pot. Is there any more?
But it still hurts to give it away!
If she hadn't thought about other opportunities at the highway exit in the future, she really wouldn't have been so generous.
When Zhou Qian came to pick her up on his bicycle, he looked at the meat in the stainless steel basin and couldn't help but laugh and cry:
"I told you they would bring meat..."
Update 1: I slept for ten minutes and got up with difficulty.
It’s the last day of the month, please give me a monthly ticket!
