The afternoon in Taohua village is not sultry. The gentle River breeze is blowing on the cheek. It is as gentle as a mother caressing a child's cheek.
"A lot of worms." Cong Ge'er, who was held by the nurse, kept probing into the shrimp field, "grab, grab."
"It's not a bug, it's a prawn, a delicious prawn." The son of the county magistrate is a snack. He ate a lot of shrimp at the dinner table just now. His mouth is very red because of the slightly spicy taste. He is still shouting to eat it.
"Shrimp." Cong Ge'er also learned to have a model. He nodded, "shrimp."
"It's shrimp. It's the meat in the custard. It's your favorite." Gu looked at his son and laughed helplessly. He turned to song Xintong and said, "he often eats it at home, but it's cooked in egg soup. He likes it."
"Custard, meat." Cong Ge'er's eyes brightened when he heard these two words. He wanted to climb into the shrimp field and grab it.
Song Xintong said with a smile: "we have raised a lot of shrimp in the suburban farm. Madam, you can go to Chuang Tzu to catch them on weekdays. There are also many fresh vegetables. When you want to eat, you can say it and ask Chuang Tzu to send them to your house."
Gu said with a smile: "Ming Zhao had gone to get it many times before. It's winter, but thanks to the vegetable food of his younger sister Chuang Tzu, otherwise I could eat radish and cabbage all winter."
"You're welcome. You can take it if you want. You're welcome." Song Xintong can't remember the news that Jiang Mingzhao and his family went to Chuang Tzu to get things. Most of these rich families have hot spring Chuang Tzu. They grow their own fresh vegetables in winter. Where do they need her small farm dishes? It's just going to get some shrimp at most.
"I've heard that Mrs. Lu has raised a lot of chickens, ducks and rabbits here?" Asked the magistrate's wife.
"Yes." Song Xintong pointed to the position on the mountain, "it's just behind the hillside. Would you like to have a look?"
County Magistrate's wife: "I just have this idea."
A group of people followed up the mountain, song Xintong opened the closed door, "there are more chickens and ducks in it, you are careful under your feet, don't step on the dirt."
Although they are cleaning every day, some chickens often fly out of the fence and run to the middle passage to shit.
The farm full of fruit trees is lush and luxuriant. It is connected with the rolling mountains and woods around. The shade of the trees blocks out the sun and makes it cool.
"These are fruit trees." The county magistrate's wife looked at the fruit trees in shock, "it seems that there are many kinds?"
"Yes, there are dozens more. I have found all the fruit trees I can find." Song Xintong pointed to the nearly 100 cherry trees in front of him. "When these cherry trees are transported back, they are all adult trees. This year, they have a lot of flowers and fruits. They can be eaten in the last month."
"Come back then, madam, and pick cherries." Song Xintong pointed to the fruit tree on the other side, "there are grapes, pomegranates and jujubes, which can be eaten in a few months."
"Do you have one fruit tree that matures in a month? All year long? I see oranges over there Gu Shi feels very strange, "so much can eat up?"
"Does Mrs. Lu want to sell these fruits?" Mrs. Lu asked.
"It's not. It's just that eating more fruit is good for your health, so you should have more." Song Xintong said: "in addition to peaches and winter oranges, we seldom see other fruits in Qingjiang county. I can't buy them. That's why I want to grow some by myself. I don't have to pay for them. It's very cost-effective."
"That's true. When we got here, we couldn't buy any fruit." The county magistrate's wife sighed, "it's still Mrs. Lu who has an idea and grows it by herself."
"There are many cherries in Lingnan, but they are not as good as those of my younger brothers and sisters." Gu Shi said: "look, there is no big one here. What's the reason?"
"The varieties are different. This is a big cherry." Song Xintong said.
"Big cherry?" County Magistrate's wife: "there are cherries, too? Small cherry is not the kind of small, color will not be too ruddy that
"Yes." This kind of big cherry can also be called chelizi. Anyway, it's called cherry. Song Xintong pointed to the forest in front of him and said, "that's little cherry over there."
Gu Shi asked: "where did my sister-in-law come from?"
"This is from Xianggong. I don't know where he came from." Song Xintong said with a smile, "it's said that they were found in other prefectures, and I don't know where they came from. It's said that those people don't like the sweet and sour taste, so they should only make wild fruit to eat."
"So it is. No wonder we haven't seen it in Lingnan." "After that, if we want to eat, we will come to pick it from our younger brothers and sisters," Gu said
Song Xintong said with a smile: "yes."
The county magistrate's wife had an idea and asked, "do you want to choose this kind of cherry?"
Song Xintong looked at her and quickly understood what she was thinking. He said, "it's the best place to plant this kind of cherry tree in a place like ours."
In the past, there were many kinds of cherry trees in Cherry producing areas, which were located on the hillside or on the edge of the valley, with an altitude of 300 to 600 meters. However, Qingjiang County in the south of the five ridges has high mountains, which may be similar to this terrain.
Besides, cherries are fruit trees that like light, temperature, humidity and fertilizer. For example, the soil in Lingnan is very suitable for growing cherries. Besides, except for the location in Kaishan, most places have enough sunlight. Moreover, there are many mountains and sandy lands in Lingnan. This kind of soil is most suitable for growing cherries.
"This kind of fruit has the functions of replenishing qi, strengthening spleen, harmonizing stomach, dispelling wind and dampness, beautifying and beautifying. It's good for your health to eat it often, but the fruit tree is still a little delicate. You should be careful with it, or you won't be able to bear fruit in the coming year." Song Xintong said.
"There are so many benefits. I have to ask Mingzhao to go there and dig some back." Gu immediately said, "it's better for Mr. Lu to be kind to his younger brothers and sisters. There are not many men in this world who can plant fruit trees for his wife."
"No, I envy others." The county magistrate's wife echoed.
"I just love to eat." Song Xintong embarrassed smile, but the bottom of my heart is happy.
On one side, Cong Ge'er looked at the flocks of chickens, ducks and rabbits and exclaimed, "so many, so many rabbits, so lovely."
"Lots of chickens."
"And they gave birth to chicks."
The chickens and rabbits in the forest were chased everywhere by several little dolls, and kept cackling, followed by worried nannies and servant girls, for fear that the little master would be thrown.
Gu: "it's very good for my sister-in-law to raise chickens and grow fruit trees like this. With the nutrients of fruit trees, these chickens can also help catch insects."
Song Xintong: "I also thought of it by accident. It can be used mutually and will not be wasted."
After another stroll, someone came from the county magistrate's side and said they would go back to the county.
Song Xintong led them to the Lu family at the foot of the mountain.
