Yipin Farmer

After the accident, every morning before going down the well, Baoqi remembered to put out candles, and Ting Shuang had to make sure again.A few days later, water began to flow from the well, not too much at first, but then more and more, and the water had to be pulled out every day to continue digging.Finally, one day, Tingshuang went down with a shovel, and the water came up.

There is abundant groundwater below, which may have the same source as the spring in the pool.The well water is sweet and luscious, with a hint of coolness.

The well was dug and the well cover was finished, Ting Hui proposed to celebrate with a good meal.

"You bastard, you can't forget to eat, what a glutton." Ting Shuang nagged, still planning to make a delicious meal.

Ting Shuang flipped through the recipe left by old man Chu, and prepared to make roast duck, asked Xiaodouzi to go up the mountain to pick up pine branches, and asked Aunt Li to bake pancakes.First marinate the duck with chopped pepper, star anise, ginger, scallion and garlic, and then roast it on a pine branch with a fork, turning it constantly while brushing the duck with sauce.

Xiaodouzi swallowed and watched from the side, while taking care of the fire, suddenly remembered something, and took out something from his pocket: "Brother, look, this is the Ganoderma lucidum I picked when I was picking pine branches on the mountain."

Ting Shuang took a look: "Are you sure if it's Ganoderma lucidum?"

"I'm sure, I often go to the mountains to collect herbs, and I recognize many things. I was afraid that I might not be sure. Before I went home, I went to Uncle Yao to ask him to recognize it. He said it was Ganoderma lucidum, but it was not old enough." Xiaodouzi asked him to collect it. Well, in his heart, everything belongs to Tingshuang, including himself.

But Ting Shuang said: "With this good thing, you can make up for your mother after you get through it."

Xiaodouzi hesitated. Ever since he came to Meng's house, Ting Shuang had saved the milk produced by the only ewe in the family and divided it into three shares. He gave it to him, his mother and Ting Zhi. No one else had to drink it. My mother ate eggs and rice porridge every day, but the master's family didn't eat eggs every day.Now he has Ganoderma lucidum but let him eat it for his mother.

Ting Shuang knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Your mother's health is better, but her body is too weak. Food supplements alone may not be enough. Ganoderma lucidum strengthens the five internal organs and nourishes the essence. Contribute, there will be opportunities in the future, don't fight for this moment."

Xiaodouzi wiped his eyes with emotion.

After a while, the duck was roasted, plump and plump, with a bright red color, Ting Hui salivated, and lay down on it to suck his nose.

"Let me demonstrate how to eat." Ting Shuang washed her hands, sliced ​​the duck into slices with a knife, each slice was moderately thick with skin and meat, then took a piece of lotus leaf cake, spread yellow sauce on it, put the duck slices on the cake, and Put a few chopped green onions and roll them up.

After the roll was finished, it was handed to Ting Hui, who was drooling next to him. "Try it."

Ting Hui couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth and bite it, ah, the skin is crispy, the meat is tender, fat but not greasy, delicious and mellow, it really makes people want to swallow their tongues.

Baoqi's face was not good-looking, and she muttered in a low voice: "Why didn't you give it to me first?"

Pian Tingshuang heard it, and rolled another one for him: "Here, eat, how can there be so many words."

Baoqi took it and stuffed it into her mouth, um, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, really delicious.Others followed suit and rolled them into pancakes and ate them.

Boil the cabbage with the remaining duck rack, pour it on the noodles, and eat meat and noodles at the same time.A few people were still unsatisfied after eating, smacking their lips and looking for something to eat. Seeing this, Ting Shuang immediately kneaded some more noodles, baked a few green onion pancakes with duck fat, and several diners gathered around the stove to watch , Baked one and ate one, and soon the few pieces of cake were swept away.

Baoqi looked at him and smiled: "You seem to like cooking very much."

Ting Shuang said: "Seeing how delicious your food is, I feel happy, and now I feel a little bit like being a mother."

Ting Hui answered immediately: "We have a big brother, and we feel very happy."

Bao Qi leaned against the door to watch him work on the stove, smiling, and suddenly said: "I don't know why, I also feel happy watching you cook for me."

Ting Shuang replied immediately: "That's because you are a foodie."

After eating the duck, Ting Shuang asked Ting Hui to deliver rice to the villagers.

"I don't have much to live these days. You and I will split up to deliver rice to the villagers."

Ting Hui also knows that his family has received a lot of help from the villagers, and now that the harvest is good, he should pay back a little bit, but he still has a grudge against the villagers who accused Ting Shuang of being a prodigal.

"At the beginning, they blamed you and taught you, saying that you should not have borrowed so much debt. I remember that you were under too much pressure, you couldn't sleep well, you couldn't eat well, your tongue was blistered and your mouth was sore, and you couldn't eat. Now Our family is proud, I want to ask those people to save face."

"Nonsense." Ting Shuang was annoyed and funny, "How much meat can you grow if you save face?"

"I think it's natural for the second child to think like this." Bao Qi, who had always been at odds with Ting Hui, interrupted.

Indeed, one person did something unacceptable to everyone, and was criticized and questioned by everyone.However, later this matter gained a lot of benefits, which proved that this person had the foresight to make the right decision, so it is normal for him to want to save face and feel proud when he meets someone who accused and questioned him before.

Baoqi knows that Ting Shuang's thinking is often different from ordinary people, so she wants to hear what he has to say.

Ting Shuang didn't think so, and said: "You have already achieved success, and you have saved face. If you meet someone who accused and doubted you before, even if you don't say it, they will feel embarrassed. At this time, you can show how you were at the beginning. Wise and correct, how wrong others were before, is it necessary? If you want to live up to yourself, do a good job, and you have to hurt others' face to feel that you have regained your breath?

Besides, the people in the village accused me at that time, it was also out of worry, after all, there was no malice, we can't even know what's good. "

Ting Hui was so convinced by these words that he didn't look complacent at all when he delivered the rice.Ting Shuang was as humble as ever, and now his prestige in the village reached an unprecedented height, not limited to the children.The villagers felt that he was not only quick-witted and courageous, but even rarer was his tolerance.

Bao Qi no longer pestered him when he was busy, but just watched him busy silently from the sidelines, frowning and smiling when watching him settle accounts and make plans, and finally his face was full of longing and satisfaction.He found such a rich expression very interesting.

Ting Shuang finished the plan and took the drawings to the hundred acres of wasteland.Baoqi still followed like a follower.

This piece of land is a depression, like a bowl, and the lowest piece is a puddle of water, which cannot grow crops.

"This puddle is about [-] acres in size. I plan to grow lotus root, water chestnut, chicken head rice, and the reeds beside the pool can also be cut to weave mats or something." Ting Shuang made a pointing gesture, pointing to the water in the lower part Wa said.

Xiaoye observed the terrain, nodded and said: "There are some large and small puddles further up, it is better to plant grass. You can raise ducks, cows and donkeys. This area is thousands of miles away, and many families raise donkeys." .”

"Yes, and then the higher land can be used for planting rice, about [-] to [-] mu. What we need to do now is how to drain water and store water."

Ting Shuang's drawings show how to store water when rice planting needs a lot of water, and use drains to drain excess water into low puddles when not too much water is needed.It is necessary to raise the embankment and plant some fruit trees while the ground is not frozen. There is a farmer's proverb: "Even though it is cold in the snow, you can plant saplings." As long as the ground is not frozen, planting trees cannot be stopped.

After the fish are caught, it is really endless work to cover the field with straw to protect the fish from the winter, especially in terms of water conservancy, which is a big project.However, Ting Shuang felt that she was full of energy, and felt that she had the momentum to change the world.

Baoqi said: "I found that every time you make plans, your temperament is different from usual, especially after the autumn harvest, it is very different from before."

Ting Shuang said: "You, a son who has never encountered setbacks, can't appreciate the sense of accomplishment after overcoming difficulties alone."

At this time, Ting Ke went home to reunite with his family and said that he would go to other places to collect the debt.Many customers do not pay on the spot, but pay in three festivals, namely "Duanyang and Mid-Autumn Festival", or pay after the autumn harvest. At this time, the store will send staff out to collect the bill.

"He has entrusted you with such an important job, you have to do it well." Ting Shuang was both happy and worried. He was happy that Ting Ke started to take on the important task and was able to collect the money smoothly. In the future, he will have the capital to be the shopkeeper. , The worry is that with so much money outside, safety issues are a big deal.

Ting Shuang frowned in thought, and Ting Ke said, "Don't worry, I'll be back in just over half a month after I left this trip."

"Does the bank that your boss's shop frequents have a joint account in other places?"

Large shops generally have banks that often establish business contacts. Large-scale banks have semi-colons in other places, such as the four majors in the capital. Nationwide.However, small banks, such as Yutong Bank, which often communicates with Shi Jie’s weaving house, do not have the strength to open a branch. Such banks can form joint accounts with other places, and can do cross-regional exchange business.

So what Ting Shuang means is that after the account is collected, it will be exchanged for a bank note, or it can be remitted through a joint account, and it is enough to paste some remittance, which is easy to carry and safer.

Ting Ke said: "I went to more than one place, and Yutong Bank only has a joint account with Xinhe in Luoyang, and there are no other places."

"Oh." Ting Shuang began to think of a way, and asked someone to make a mezzanine under the suitcase, and asked Ting Ke to hide the money he had received in the mezzanine, and told him that in case of danger or something that robbed him, he must not Focus on money, life first.

After nagging was not enough, Ting Shuang went to the kitchen to pack some chili noodles, found some lime powder, and a sharp knife, and put them in the luggage for Sany.

"What are you doing?"

"This is a must-have product for traveling, fighting robbers and killing people. In case of danger, you can take out self-defense or something."

Everyone laughed so hard that their backs hurt, and the chili powder and lime powder became a self-defense weapon.

"Are you kidding me? It's okay if you don't be careful when you go out? You don't have martial arts." Ting Shuang said while wrapping up the cotton-padded clothes, preparing dry food, wrapping up the account book with oilcloth, and packing up the regular pills and so on.

Ting Ke wrote down one by one, ate the farewell noodles at home, and set off on the journey early the next morning under the watchful eyes of the whole family.

At night, Ting Shuang tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and sat up.

"Why can't you fall asleep?" Baoqi asked him as he got up from a light sleeper.

"I don't know why, I have a premonition that something will happen to the third child this time, but I can't tell what it is, and I feel very uneasy."

"That's because you were too worried about him going out on his own for the first time." Bao Qi comforted him, "Actually, he's not young anymore, and all the boys of his age in the village have become fathers."

Ting Shuang let out a long sigh: "The younger brothers are old enough to talk about marriage, but the family situation has just improved, and now it's too high or too low, so I'm anxious when I think about it. I don't know how little sister Xiaolan is. If she passes It's all good, what should I do if her life is not good, I still don't have the ability to rob someone from the Chen family, alas..."

"Don't take everything to heart, everyone has their own happiness, you don't have to think about everything for them." Bao Qi patted him on the back. "There's work to do tomorrow morning, go to bed early. You're upset, I'll go hunting with you to relax."

"En." Ting Shuang lay down again, and Bao Qi tucked the quilt behind his neck.Ting Shuang suddenly thought of his mother, and every time he felt the cold wind leaking from the back of his neck, he would think of his mother's warm hands, which made him more motivated to face all difficulties.Now the other hand tucked the quilt for him, and comforted him by stroking his back when he was panicking. The next day, Baoqi ran to Zhang Daquan's house and pestered him to take them hunting.Zhang Daquan said: "If you want to go hunting in the mountains, you'd better wait until the first snow falls."

"Autumn is the best time to fight when the tall grass is in full bloom. At this time, the beasts on the mountain are full of hair and flesh. Now is a good time." Baoqi has good reasons, and more importantly, Ting Shuang can improve her mood.

Zhang Daquan had no choice but to agree to take them hunting after Frost's Fall. At that time, the grass withered and the leaves were yellow, and the wild animals had nowhere to hide. It was a good time to hunt. He asked them to prepare the things they needed, including bows and arrows, ropes, three-pronged forks, fur coats, and leather mats. Water bags, dry food and so on.

"I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to go hunting in the mountains." Ting Shuang looked at the list in her hand and sighed. Fortunately, she was also loose now, so she bought it together when she went to the city for delivery.

It seemed that God also knew their urgency. Frost's descent arrived within two days, and a piece of hoarfrost hung on the ground.

When it came time to hunt, the others did not want to suffer and were afraid of danger.Only Ting Shuang and Bao Qi went, each carrying heavy packages.First meet Zhang Daquan's house. He has already prepared tents, jackets and clips, and put them on a donkey. He also brought the most powerful hunting dog in the village, Pipi, known as the macular king. This dog is tall and long, very Powerful, it looks like a king at first glance, not comparable to Xixi City and the like.Ting Shuang looked at such a mighty hunting dog and was very envious.

In Shou Cang Mountain after autumn, the leaves have fallen and are bare, only a large maple tree on the top of the mountain is very beautiful.

Ting Shuang watched while walking, admiring the mountain scenery at the end of autumn, and finally realized her dream of hunting since she was a child. The depression in her heart was swept away, and she just wanted to show her skills.He asked, "Uncle Zhang, what prey is there on the mountain? Are there tigers? Are there bears?"

Zhang Daquan said as he walked: "There are not many big animals here. Heixiazi has never seen it before, and he hasn't seen any tigers, but he has heard the roar of tigers. Let's be careful and there will be no danger. There are pheasants, hares, and musk deer. There are Gazelle, Fox and Badger."

"Are there wolves?"

"Where there are deer, there will be wolves."

A wolf appeared in front, with a long tail, dark green eyes, sharp claws and teeth gleaming coldly, and drool terribly, it rushed towards it viciously.Ting Shuang bent his bow and set an arrow, and the arrow hit the wolf's throat. He held up the wolf's tail majestically, and faced everyone's amazed eyes like a hero.

The above is the fantasy in Ting Shuang's heart, the real situation is often unexpected.
