Chapter 531 A rat bites a stick

  After rubbing the trousers, throw them in clean water several times, then wring them out and put them in a basin, and take them out to dry tomorrow morning.

  No one hangs clothes outside at night, there is no such rule.

  After washing the trousers, Su Anying over there has already picked up all the mushrooms in the basket on the fork, waiting to be carried out to dry tomorrow morning.

   Underneath the mushrooms are jujubes covered with big leaves. Pick them up in a small basin, wash them with water, and bring them into the house for the children to eat.

  The Xu family is not short of food, but this kind of wild fruit in the mountains is usually rare.

   Jujubes are very sweet, with a special aroma, both Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui love to eat them.

  Over there, Xu Haiyuan picked out some walnuts with rotten skins from the walnut pile, knocked off the skins with a stick, picked some and threw them into the pit at the bottom of the pot to burn them.

  In the evening, when Xu Chenghou had nothing to do, he took a hammer to crack walnuts for the children, and the children each found an awl or something to pick the walnut kernels.

  At this time, the walnuts are not yet dry, and the walnut kernels also contain water, which tastes unique and sweet.

   All the children are so beautiful, especially the three who go up to the mountain to work. The fruits of their labor taste very delicious.

   It was agreed that I would go to pick up ginseng seeds tomorrow, and Xu Shiyan and Su Anying were preparing things over there.

   Ginseng seeds are not as good as goods, they are too tender, and they have to be planted in the ground again, so special care must be taken.

  In the sack, put a layer of plastic film to seal the window.

  The plastic film itself is barrel-shaped, just tie up the bottom and put it in the sack.

   There are not many seeds planted at ten feet, and two or three sacks are enough.

  The children were actually tired after going up the mountain for a day. They went to bed early at night and got up early the next morning.

  Zhou Guilan baked pancakes in the kitchen and brought food for Xu Shiyan and the others up the mountain.

   Burnt-flavored noodle cakes, with a lot of green onions inside, filled the room with the aroma of green onion cakes.

  In addition to the scallion cake, Zhou Guilan also cut a piece of sauced beef.

  The beef was delivered by others some time ago. I was too busy to eat it, so it was frozen in the refrigerator.

   Doesn’t this mean that you have to go up the mountain to plant seeds? Yesterday Zhou Guilan took it out of the refrigerator and put the sauce in the stewing pot.

  Cut it out right now and put it in a lunch box.

  In addition to these, there are pickles and homemade chili sauce.

  Zhou Guilan baked a lot of pancakes, and in the morning she got scallion pancakes and potato soup.

  With the homemade chili sauce, small pickles, eating biscuits and hot soup, this meal is delicious.

  After breakfast, Xu Shiyan and Su Anying threw all the tools into the cart, and the three children sat in the back seat of the driver's building.

  There is not much to live today, so Xu Chenghou will not be allowed to go up the mountain. The old man is getting old, and he can't go up the mountain.

  Xu Shiyan drove, Su Anying sat in the co-pilot, and the family of five drove straight to Shendi at the Kaifeng fork.

  In this season, the leaves of ginseng are already withered and yellow.

  After withdrawing the ginseng shed, use the four teeth to draw and pull on the ground a few times.

  The seedlings of the ginseng seeds are small in themselves, and they will be gone if you pull them, so you don’t need to delay the seedlings.

  Xu Shiyan started planing with four teeth, Su Anying and the children hurried out to pick up seeds.

   Not to mention, this piece of land is a real long mallet, and the seeds have been sown for two years, and the seeds have grown really well.

  The good ones are as thick as an adult's little finger, the strips are also good, and there is no rust.

  Xu Shiyan paid special attention to every stroke, for fear of breaking the seeds.

  Su Anying led the children and picked them up very carefully.

  The seeds of the Xu family are pretty even, the big ones are about the size of a finger, the small ones are about as thick as a cigarette, and almost none are too small.

  This is the benefit of spreading dry seeds. After a one-year dormant period, the ginseng seeds have a high opening rate and good seedling emergence.

  If it is water seeds, it will not work. The opening rate is not enough, and some ginseng seeds will germinate one year later.

   As a result, five leaf ginseng seeds were mixed with a lot of three flowers.

  So later someone soaked ginseng seeds with gibberellin before sending out, which can increase the opening rate.

  Ginseng seeds are good. Everyone is very happy. While chatting and laughing, they picked up the ginseng seeds and put them together.

  Su Anying saw that there were too many piles, so she packed the ginseng seeds into sacks one by one.

  It is also particular about when it is installed, the beard should face outward, and the reed head should face inward.

   This is to be replanted in the ground. If the reed head falls off, it will not be able to germinate.

  There is a plastic sheet inside the sack, which can ensure the moisture of the ginseng seeds, and will not be lost by the wind, especially the reed heads will not dry out.

  The seeds were small and dense, so Xu Shiyan dug it alone, and Su Anying led the three children to pick it up.

  By noon, it was seven or eight feet up.

  If Xu Shiyan and his wife went up the mountain, they would definitely finish their work before eating.

  But they have three children, and the children are easy to be hungry. After another morning of work, they are already hungry.

  How can I make them hungry? So I took the children to see Can Xiaofang for dinner.

  The cakes baked in the early morning were already cold. Su Anying was worried that the children would feel uncomfortable eating them, so she put them in the pan to warm them up.

  Spicy scallion pancakes, rolled with thin slices of sauced beef, and some homemade chili sauce, take a bite and feel old.

  There is no hot soup on the mountain, so the people watching the ginseng boiled hot water for them to eat cakes and drink hot water. The meal was quite comfortable.

   After lunch, and resting for a while, Xu Shiyan saw that the sky was very cloudy, so he said he should hurry up and go home early.

  So the couple led the children to plant seeds again.

   As a result, after digging a few times, a hole was exposed in the ground, and some seeds were dug out by the four-toothed planer, but there was no head or tail, only a bare rod left.

   "Oops, this is a rat."

  Su Anying looked at it and felt distressed. At least two or three catties of seeds were dug out of this litter.

  And the most harmful thing about rats is that they only pick big ones. This is cutting off the head and tail, planning to hoard food for the winter.

  Xu Shiyan also sighed. What is the crop yard most afraid of? One is bad weather, and the other is pests and rats.

   This rat is too capable of harming people. It bit off its head and tail with a good mallet and hid it in a hole.

   "It's okay, isn't that the old saying? A mouse bites a mallet, and the price of the mallet will increase."

   Seeing his wife's distressed appearance, Xu Shiyan could only speak words of comfort.

  My man said this on purpose to ease her heart, how could Su Anying not know?

  Su Anying could only smile, "Well, it would be great if the price really increased.

   Let’s work, let’s get this out quickly, pack up our things and go home. "

  Xu Shiyan dug out all the sticks in the hole.

  Even if it can’t be planted, it can still be washed and made into goods. Why can’t it be left for mice as winter food?

  It wasn't much in the afternoon, and it was over soon. The seeds were ten feet long, and three loose sacks were filled.

  The ginseng seeds are not too solid, mainly because they are afraid of crushing the seeds.

   All these seeds have been planted, so don’t put them in the bucket at all, what if they are accidentally turned upside down?

  Su Anying and her daughter sat in the passenger seat, her son and Shen Zaizi sat in the back row, and her fourth son and other belongings were placed in the car bucket.

   Just like that, the family of five drove back.

  After lunch, the sky became cloudy, and it started to rain when they were loading the car. Halfway through the car, it started to rain heavily.

  Su Anying sat in the car, watching the windshield wipers kept brushing, very fortunate that they came here today.

   Otherwise, the rain would have delayed for several days.

   "Thanks to our family having a car, otherwise everything would have been watered."
