Chapter 374
These words made everyone instantly energized, and they cheered and said yes.
The meals of a large family are not so easy to prepare, especially those who do manual labor, and the food and vegetables are large. Qiao Xuan doesn't cook every day.
Usually Xu and Yang Xiaoni cook, and Taotao occasionally helps.
Now Xu's craftsmanship has also improved a bit - mainly because he is willing to put and knows how to put various seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, plus in addition to the vegetables in the vegetable garden, there are also dried bamboo shoots, various dried mushrooms, fish Delicious ingredients such as shrimp, meat, tofu, etc. are cooked quickly on a large stove, and the taste is not much different.
Originally, Qiao Xuan thought that she would be able to pick up the tea seeds in one day, but she didn't expect it to be a bit difficult, so she only picked up the golden buds at the end of the day.
It seems that tomorrow I have to continue to work hard for a day to pick up Zixin's.
After about seven or eight days, the new batch will mature, and it will be almost the same for another visit...
Trouble is trouble, but the harvest is full. Qiao Xuan calculated, at least four or five pounds.
Tea seeds are black and plump, with oily skin and excellent appearance.
Holding it heavy in her hand, Qiao Xuan could easily sense the vitality of the germ under that layer of shell.
I didn't dare to stay too late in the deep mountains. When I got home, the sun hadn't set yet.
Gathering the tea seeds, Qiao Xuan started to cook dinner after washing her face and taking a bath.
Before taking a bath, I soaked the dried shrimp and dried hairtail in slightly hot water, and it looks almost good now.
She also soaked some sea cucumbers and abalone by the way, but she couldn't catch up today, so she can eat it tomorrow night.
Grilled sea cucumber with green onion and braised abalone have been made twice before, which are extremely rare in the family.
There is no reason to go into the mountains and return empty-handed, but today there are shrimp, hairtail, and a pheasant.
Grilled shrimp in tomato sauce, refreshing and sweet, pan-fried octopus, crispy and delicious, pheasant uses minced garlic and green onion as the main seasoning to make a ginger-scallion chicken.
Fang Shi also bought two pieces of tofu at home today, cut them into small pieces and fry them slightly yellow on both sides, and fried them together with the mushrooms.
Add two more vegetables from the vegetable garden, and you're done.
After a few days, I finally ate Qiao Xuan's food again, and everyone couldn't help but add an extra bowl of rice.
The next day, I picked up Zixin's tea seeds, not as many as the golden buds, but quite a few.
Pick it up again, it's pretty cool.
Qiao Xuan did not expect to plant all five hundred acres of tea forests at once.
The amount of this project is not small, and she doesn't have any manpower she likes, so it's not easy to manage, and it's not a bad thing to have a smaller amount.
Plant another batch next year.
The family happily helped her with so much work. Qiao Xuan felt a little uneasy. She thought that autumn was coming and it was time to buy winter clothes, so she discussed with Shao Yunyun. She also went to the academy when he went to the city. buy something.
"By the way, let's go to the land insurance company and buy some more land! Xueli will have to be planted in the coming year, so we have to plant dozens or hundreds of acres first!"
"Also, it's time to prepare people to open up wasteland in Chashan. Let's discuss with the Lizheng of Zhangjia Village. If the villagers are willing, we can hire people from the village to work nearby! Let them earn some hard money."
Shao Yunyun nodded, glanced at her and said, "We're not there. Although Uncle Erzhu and the others are there, there are a lot of things to be taken care of. It's time to visit first."
"Well, I think so too!"
