walk with penguins

After returning home in the afternoon, Duan Jie forced one of the watermelons to Uncle Song.I sent more than a dozen peaches to the neighbor's house, which can be regarded as a thank you gift for helping to take care of Tuantuan.Duan Jie washed four peaches, gave two to Sang Feng, and kept two for himself.The rest were secretly put into the warehouse of the farm by him.

Cut up the watermelon, Duan Jie cut out a piece, and put the rest in the well.The red melon flesh was wrapped in fine gauze, and a small bowl of watermelon juice was pressed out, and Duan Jie was going to give Tuan Tuan a sip as well.

The little guy is very interested in anything that is ready to be fed into his mouth. Duan Jie sighs infinitely in his heart, this baby who is not picky eater is easy to take with him.He still remembered his little nephew, trying to coax the kid to eat something, it was all kinds of hardships.Begging for a long time to eat a few mouthfuls of charity, and promise a lot of toys.Thinking of his family, Duan Jie couldn't help feeling sad. His old lady, his brother, his nephew, and his friends might not be able to see each other again.Thinking of his family, Duan Jie felt much depressed, but Tuantuan's little hands touched his face, and the fleshy and warm little hands calmed Duan Jie's mood a lot.

"Oh, it's good to have you, son." Duan Jie murmured while hugging Tuantuan, if there was no Tuantuan, he really wanted to die back, even if only his soul returned to modern times, at least he would be able to see his family.

But Tuantuan pointed at the bowl in Duan Jie's hand and yelled 'Ahhh', the emotional little guy didn't comfort his father, but told his father that it's time for you to feed him.Duan Jie bit Tuantuan's face bitterly, and the little guy curled his lips, staring at the small bowl eagerly.

"Okay, I'll just drink it for you." Duan Jie scooped up a small spoon and handed it to Tuantuan's mouth, and the little guy took a sip.Tuantuan liked the sweet and refreshing taste of watermelon juice so much that he couldn't help waving his hands and feet.That’s right, there are only a few kinds of food for Tuantuan, goat’s milk is tasteless, and the supplementary food that Duan Jie feeds the little guy has no oil, almost no salt and sugar, this is the first time Tuantuan has tasted so sweet As for the things, children like sweets, can you not be happy.

After swallowing it in one gulp, Tuantuan pointed to the next sip, and after a while, the small bowl of watermelon juice was completely drank by Tuantuan.The little guy couldn't get enough of it, wanting to pay it back, Duan Jie spread his hands, and held the bowl in front of Tuantuan, "I don't have it anymore."

Tuan Tuan stared at the bowl for a long time, then looked up at Duan Jie.He looked at the bowl, then at his father, and looked back and forth three or four times. The look on his face when he found out that he really couldn't eat it, the melancholy look, made Duan Jie embarrassed for a while.

However, watermelon is cold in nature, so he really didn't dare to let Tuantuan eat more, Duan Jie also felt that it was too much for such a small bowl.But it seems that Tuantuan is very unwilling.

Fortunately, the next day, Duan Jie took out peach puree to make up for the loss of Tuantuan's lack of watermelon juice. The fragrant and sweet peach puree is also very popular with Tuan Tuan, and peaches are good for health. mild.

Since then, Tuantuan has acquired a habit of always wanting to stuff red things into his mouth whenever he sees them. He probably thinks that red things are sweet and delicious.

Two days later, Duan Jie borrowed Aunt Song's ox cart to pull watermelons in Niujia Village.In the melon field, I selected a dozen or so melons that were only seven ripe, and then picked four or five melons that were overripe.The son of the old man Niu didn't doubt anything. After all, raw melons can be stored, and people buy a lot. These raw melons can be taken back and eaten slowly.

Duan Jie put most of the raw melons on the farm on the way, and Sang Feng bought a total of nineteen catties of skin care that day.The price of leather nitrate is ten yuan per catty, which is still within Duan Jie's acceptance range.

After returning home, Duan Jie started to prepare for making watermelon cream. He took all the peels bought by Sang Feng to the farm, cut the raw watermelon into a small lid, dug out most of the pulp inside, and put the peels in it. .It is said that the amount of skin nitrate is almost different from each pharmaceutical factory.Duan Jie had seen his grandma do it before. It would be enough to add more than one catty of skinned melons to seven or eight catties of melons. Duan Jie reckoned the amount, put the skins on the dozens of watermelons, and covered them with cut melons. On the table, the bamboo sticks were sealed, and a dozen watermelons were hung in the empty wooden house on the farm with a bag made of straw rope.As for the raw melon meat dug out by Duan Jie, it was not wasted either. It took him and Sang Feng a whole day to wipe out a total of [-] to [-] catties of melon meat.

After finishing all this, the next step is to wait for the frost to appear on the watermelon. After the frost appears, take a small brush and sweep the frost off, and it will be the frost on the watermelon.

What is the appropriate price for watermelon frost?Duan Jie has been thinking about this problem. A melon can produce frost about seven or eight times, and the total amount is only a few taels.There is no watermelon cream here, he is the only one, this thing is very useful for treating oral ulcers, getting angry and so on, it can be applied externally or used internally, and it is said that it can also cure burns and so on.One, two, forty, fifty should be about the same, Duan Jie estimated the number in his heart.He also doesn't know the price of this medicinal material, and at this price, he thinks that the pharmacy will still buy it.When this watermelon cream is used for treatment, the amount needed is not much, a few grams is enough, and the flower does not cost a few cents.And his cost, that is, watermelon and skin care, only cost more than 300 Wen.

After finishing these watermelons, Duan Jie started to plant the new melon seeds he bought. Because he bought a lot, it took Duan Jie a few days to plant them all.

After planting those melon seeds, Duan Jie looked around the farm and found that the land he could use was getting less and less.Looking at the land where grain has been planted before, it's not a problem to keep it there. Waiting to buy cattle, how long will it take to buy cattle with the current money.In the end, Duan Jie gritted his teeth. If there is no cattle to plow the land, there will be no cattle. He went to clean up the land by himself.

It took Duan Jie two days to turn over an acre of [-] mu of arable land, and after a month of farming, he finally turned over all the fields that had been harvested a while ago.Every night when Duan Jie was lying on the kang, his limbs felt as heavy as if they had been filled with lead.During the days when he was digging the land, the food level of the family dropped significantly.Duan Jie will only use dim sum if there are balls of food.As for him and Sang Feng, the daily meals are as easy as possible, pancakes, pickles, boiled eggs, thin noodle soup.

Sang Feng didn't complain much about the change of food, on the contrary, he was very worried about Duan Jie's health.In less than a month, Duan Jie has lost a lot of weight, and the little bit of meat he raised a while ago is gone.

Finally one day, Sang Feng couldn't help but said to Duan Jie: "Brother Yu, what's wrong with you recently, why you lost so much weight, why don't we go see the doctor."

"It's okay, I just have a bad appetite due to the hot weather." Duan Jie stroked his waist and said.

Although Sang Feng didn't really believe this statement, Duan Jie didn't say anything more.I'm going to plan the next stage directly. I have to buy porcelain vases. The dozen or so watermelons hanging in the farm have already started to frost.

He was really tired these days, so he went to the town to buy a bottle again?No, he wants to rest at home for a few days, let Sang Feng buy bottles and so on!After thinking about it, Duan Jie called Sang Feng over and gave the child some money, "Tomorrow you go to the town and buy a few rough porcelain bottles, and the big ones will do." Duan Jie gestured at the size of the bottles, and pointed For the money, "There are still ten coins in it for your pocket money."

The next day, after Sang Feng went out, Duan Jie directly took out the grass from the pasture to feed the sheep, and after feeding Tuantuan once, he lay down on the couch in the courtyard.The whole person is lazy and doesn't want to move.

"Son, when do you think daddy will make a lot of money?" Duan Jie murmured, sitting on Duan Jie's arm, Duan Jie turned around, his son's little butt was facing him.

"Don't put it on your father's arm." Duan Jie said, hugging Tuantuan to his stomach, "Wait, son, when your father makes money, I will buy all the fields around here , and then build a two-entry, no, three-entry mansion, buy seven or eight beautiful little girls, then we and the two of us will just wait for food every day. Well, marry another good-looking daughter-in-law and come back " Tuantuan seemed to be infected by Duan Jie, and spit at his father.Duan Jie silently wiped the saliva off his face, for this bright future, for his land, his house, his wife, and his money.Duan Jie went to work ==

In the evening, Sang Feng came back with a bunch of rough porcelain vases he bought, and a small bag of things wrapped in paper, which looked like snacks or something.Sang Feng opened the package, "Hawthorn cake, for your appetizer." He blushed and walked away, leaving Duan Jie standing there alone.

It has been so long in ancient times, and this is the first time that Duan Jie has received such a gift. Duan Jie can't express his feelings.There wasn't much in that bag of haw jelly, and Sang Feng should have bought it with the pocket money he gave him today.The child works from dawn to dusk every day, and I gave him the money this time, but he thought about his body and bought these things back.For a while, Duan Jie only felt warm in his heart.

Tuantuan saw that the red hawthorn cake was very pretty, and was about to grab it, but Duan Jie hurriedly stopped him, broke off a small piece, and put it in Tuantuan's mouth.The little guy's little face was wrinkled by the acid, but he swallowed again, and then opened his mouth again.

"It's so sour, I still want to eat it, what a foodie." After speaking, Duan Jie broke off another piece the size of a fingernail and gave it to Tuantuan, then put away the hawthorn jelly.If Sang Feng is willing, maybe they can also include this boy Sang Feng in their blueprint for a happy life in the future, Duan Jie thought vaguely before going to sleep.

A total of more than a catty of watermelon frost was brushed out of more than a dozen watermelons. Duan Jie divided the watermelon frost into bottles, and took the smallest bottles and filled more than one or two watermelon frost.Tomorrow he will take these watermelon creams and go to the pharmacy to discuss business.
