Chapter 88 Don't worry, I won't say anything
The next morning, Su Heng made fish and shrimp cakes. The small fish and shrimp were coated with flour and fried. They were crispy and spicy.
Lu Mingchuan loved to eat this. When he went out, he took the chestnut cakes that Su Heng prepared for Director Feng, and also packed some fish and shrimp cakes for himself.
Director Feng saw it at lunch and asked, "This smells so good, brother, why don't you bring some for me too?"
Lu Mingchuan: "This is something my wife made specially for me."
…
Su Heng has not been busy these days, so she took some time to sort out some seeds at home.
I don’t know whether her elder brother’s seeds have sprouted.
People don't talk without thinking. Just as I was thinking about it, there was a noise outside the courtyard gate. It was Su Jing coming.
He also brought her some smoked jerky that Wen Shu had made from the wild boar meat.
Su Heng took it and couldn't help but take a bite. It was fragrant and spicy. Although it was a little hard to chew, it was surprisingly delicious.
She also did not forget to ask the main question: "Brother, how was the last time I stimulated your seed?"
"Of course they all sprouted. Maybe your brother really has some talent for growing medicinal herbs." Su Jing narrowed his eyes and said very confidently.
Su Heng did not expose him. Those seeds were carefully selected by her. They were very active in themselves, and she even used her supernatural powers to stimulate them a little.
Some of the remaining ones were less active, so she used her supernatural powers to nurture them a little.
If you can't even grow this well, then in a sense you are also a talent.
However, if her brother thinks that he has a talent for this and becomes more interested in farming, that would be fine too.
"Come in and have a drink of water first. Did you walk here?" Su Heng saw that his forehead was covered with sweat.
Su Jing didn't bother to be polite with his sister. He was indeed thirsty and had been walking for almost an hour.
"Not really. I took a tractor to the commune intersection and then walked here."
"Then I'll drag the seeds to the intersection for you to wait for the bus." Su Heng said as she poured him a cup of boiled water.
"Okay." Su Jing took the water and drank it in big gulps.
After he finished drinking, he turned around and saw that it was not intentional. It was mainly because Su Heng and the other person's bedrooms were on both sides of the main room.
The door was open, and the furnishings inside were clearly visible.
Su Jing raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing?"
I was careless!
I actually forgot to close the door today!
Su Heng's eyelids twitched, and her brain raced, looking for a suitable excuse.
"It's Lu Mingchuan who snores at night and always wakes me up. I sometimes sleep in this room."
"Is that so? Actually, you don't have to tell me in such detail. After all, I can't interfere with my sister and brother-in-law's emotional affairs."
Su Jing smiled innocently, as if he was not the one who had been looking at him with such curiosity just now.
The grass...is green as the curtains.
Su Heng choked.
"We have a good relationship. Brother, you are not married, so you don't understand."
Su Jing really didn't understand. Anyway, he didn't snore, so he guessed he wouldn't have to sleep in a separate room from his wife in the future.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything." Su Jing said meaningfully.
Su Heng also imitated him and said sarcastically: "Don't worry, I will still give you the seeds."
…
Su Jing laughed dryly: "After all, we are brothers and sisters in this business. There is no need to divide it between you and me. I will give you my share when my eldest brother makes money."
"I hope so. Eat some of these cakes and take the rest back to your parents. Is Su Ming still in school?"
Su Heng took some chestnut cakes. Her elder brother would be going back after noon and would be starving.
She later improved the method of making these cakes, baking them slowly over low heat. This made the crust crispier, dried out the moisture, and allowed them to be stored longer.
"He lives on campus and won't be back until next week. This pancake looks good." Su Jing said as he picked up the pancake and took a bite.
He must be a sweet food lover. After a few bites, his fox eyes were curved with enjoyment.
"Eat more if you like it." Su Heng said as she packed a box for him.
I don’t know how many years those wild chestnut trees in the mountains have been growing. The ground is covered with ripe chestnut shells that have fallen to the ground. There is no shortage of chestnuts at all.
"Thank you, sister."
After he finished eating and rested for a while, he picked up the bag of seeds and bread and took Su Heng to the intersection to wait for the bus, just like last time.
Su Jing came several times, and everyone in the team was almost familiar with him.
The main reason is that she is too outstanding and she is with Su Heng.
When he came back, someone couldn't help but pull Su Heng aside to ask if he was married.
Some young girls also pricked up their ears and came over to listen.
But her brother's mind was not settled at all, and even her parents couldn't persuade him. Su Heng felt that she should not join in the fun.
He quickly walked away with a laugh.
Later, when Lu Mingchuan was resting, the two of them went into the mountains and brought back chestnuts and persimmons, and a small mountain of them suddenly piled up in the yard.
With the arrival of early autumn, it also means that the harvest is about to come.
Raw chestnuts can be stored for a long time in a cool and ventilated place.
Lu Mingchuan had made quite a few bamboo sieves before, and this time he used a rack to set them up and spread out the chestnuts in layers for storage.
In addition to soaking, persimmons can also be made into persimmon cakes. After a few busy days, the kitchen and the eaves of the west room were hung with curtains made of persimmons.
After finishing all this, the construction site will start to put up the beams.
The current plan for the base is to have two storage warehouses, a laboratory, and a staff dormitory. The first floor of the dormitory is reserved for a canteen.
Of course, there are walls and gates around the perimeter.
The first thing to be put up was the granary. After all, the harvest was about to come, and there had to be a place to store the wheat for seeds.
Raising the beam is a big deal, so everyone in the team who has nothing to do goes to take a look. Pu Fengliang also announced the news that the laboratory is recruiting people.
In addition to professional researchers, the gate also needs two security guards to take turns on duty, as well as chefs in the cafeteria and other staff.
These places will naturally be given priority to people in the brigade, after all, they are well-informed. The final selection will be made by Secretary Chen.
Su Heng suggested using the brigade name for the base. She felt that the Red Star Base sounded full of hope and strength.
Pu Fengliang also felt that the name sounded like a good omen, so the name was decided.
The wheat in the field is almost ripe, and it is a golden yellow. The wind blows the wheat waves, and the heavy wheat ears are almost bending the wheat stalks.
The wheat production of other brigades has dropped significantly this year, but the Red Star Brigade's output seems to be definitely higher than in previous years, even surpassing the Dahe Commune!
This is the result of the concerted efforts of an entire team.
The original agreement was to provide the brigade with food in equal amounts. Therefore, these days, as the wheat grew yellower day by day, the people in the brigade would go to the fields from time to time to check on it.
I was estimating in my mind when I could harvest the wheat.
Fortunately, the progress was accelerated after the beams of the warehouse were installed. After working hard, the grain warehouse was finally completed before the autumn harvest.
The threshing ground in front of the warehouse was also cleared, and Secretary Chen ordered the brigade's oxen to pull stone rollers to flatten the ground over and over again.
With the completion of the warehouse, the captain blew a whistle and the autumn harvest of the Red Star Brigade finally began.
