Start being a Shennong today

The dinner that night was very lively. These foreign guests happened to have never participated in this kind of meal with the whole village, and they actively participated with curiosity.

This time, each family will serve a dish, and tourists can participate or not.Although it is not mandatory, capable tourists have shown their skills, and some who can't cook brought out a large pot of cold tomatoes.

Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia also moved out the remaining watermelons according to what they said during the day. Unfortunately, due to the large number of people and the few melons, they could only slice them thinner.

At this time, the winners who won the top six in the morning were embarrassed to eat it, and had to stay awake, so as not to be booed by others and share the watermelon they finally won with everyone.

The villagers brought out a lot of good things for this dinner, and the tourists enjoyed the meal very much, and they were even more reluctant to leave Taoyuan Village.It's a pity that there is not much time left if you are full of business and calculations. You should cherish the days you can stay in Taoyuan Village and experience it well.

Tao Shengwen was busy in the yard that day, when he heard a voice from outside the door: "Uncle Shengwen, how many watermelons are ripe today?"

Tao Shengwen didn't raise his eyes at all, he didn't raise his head until the sound of footsteps reached the door.Outside the door, I saw a tourist standing at the door with a smile, holding a bamboo box in his hand and asking flatteringly.

"Every day I know that I miss my watermelon." Tao Shengwen scolded with a smile. These tourists have come here often these days, and they have long been familiar with each other.

The visitor was not polite, so he moved a chair and sat next to Tao Shengwen when he walked in the door, and asked while helping Tao Shengwen with his work: "Where did Aunt Yuxia go? Did she go to Guadai?"

I saw that most of the yard was occupied by bamboo mats, covered with mulberries in the sun, and Tao Shengwen picked and picked them from time to time.After the mulberry picking competition a few days ago, [-]% of the mulberries on the tree were picked, which is quite a lot.

The yard full of mulberries was a bit worrying, but Tao Ran knew about it a long time ago, so of course he was prepared.First, half of them were transported away by people from a private restaurant in the Fortune Restaurant who rushed over after hearing the news, and then some of them were going to be dried mulberries, some of them were brewed into mulberry wine, and the rest were transported to Yuanshan Town.

Yuanshan Town has also developed a lot during this period, so Tao Shengwen rented the cold storage that had just been developed in Yuanshan Town and kept the mulberries there.In this way, when the Taoyuan Supermarket in Yuanshan Town buys goods every day, it can just transport mulberries directly in the town.

As for the unripe mulberries left on the mulberry trees, the people of Taoyuan Village and these tourists can solve the problem.Thinking that there are only a few days before the date of departure, and I don’t know when I will wait until I want to come again, these tourists are willing to spend money, and they come to buy mulberry to eat.That is to say, the food in Taoyuan Village is good, so no one has a bad stomach.

Tao Shengwen was a little dumbfounded when he heard the words, and sure enough, every word was inseparable from the watermelon, so he could only say helplessly: "I went to the melon field, and we will have to wait for her to come back to know if there are any ripe melons."

"You guys, my watermelons will ripen in large quantities in no time, so I don't have to go here every day."

The young man smirked twice, unwilling to answer the conversation, and changed the subject, handing the bamboo box containing the things to Tao Shengwen.

During the period of time in Taoyuan Village, tourists can also come and go freely, and Nantian Village is indispensable if they have been to Yuanshan Town.Even if I want to send home things from Taoyuan Village, I can’t buy too many, so I can only buy some bamboo products from Nantian Village and send them home, which is cheap anyway.

The simple small bamboo box had a handle, but when Tao Shengwen opened it, it turned out to be a washed water chestnut.

"After picking the snails and water chestnuts, you guys had a lot of fun these few days."

"It's not that the villagers are kind to us." After the young man handed over the bamboo box, he ran to the well in the yard, pulled up the bamboo basket in the water familiarly, and picked out big and red tomatoes from it. He took a bite, "I've been staying in the city, and this is the first time I've picked snails and water chestnuts."

After the mulberry picking contest, some of the tourists heard the villagers talking about lotus seeds, snails and water chestnuts. As long as one person knows, all the tourists will soon know.People from rural areas are not particularly interested in these two activities, but some tourists from the city and playful children in the village have made up their minds.

But the lotus seeds belonged to Tao Yue, and the snails and water chestnuts still belonged to the village.

In the end, Tao Liu and Tao Yue set the rules after discussing. After they finished these things, they had to hand them over to the village, and then the village would set the price, and those who wanted them could buy them with money.Of course, these working people can buy it at a low price.

Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia didn't get involved in this matter, they were busy dealing with the mulberries at home every day.However, people kept coming to deliver things to them, not only villagers but also tourists, and they would even try two cucumbers and tomatoes every time they came.

These people are thinking of Tao Shengwen and the others in their hearts.Just say that the actual value of the prizes in the mulberry picking competition must be greater than the cost of hiring workers to pick them, and the winners know that.For the villagers, the couple and Tao Ran have paid a lot for the village, so they will send a copy of anything new.

That's how you come and go, Taoyuan Village hasn't had any major conflicts for so many years.

Tian Yuxia also refused, but these people would shake the tomatoes or cucumbers in their hands, saying that they had already been paid.So this time Tao Shengwen also knew that it was useless to refuse, so he took the box of water chestnuts.

"This water chestnut grows really well." Tao Shengwen praised, the water chestnut in the wooden box is like an ox horn, as wide as a palm, and the color is green with a little red. Tao Shengwen can tell when it is officially tender.

"Uncle Sheng Wen, can you use your pot? I'll steam some for you to try." When he spoke, the man had already looked towards the kitchen, and when he turned around unexpectedly, he saw Tao Shengwen had bitten off the water chestnut, revealing the whiteness and tenderness inside. The tender flesh comes.

Hearing a crisp click, Tao Shengwen took a bite and nodded repeatedly while eating.

"Uncle Sheng Wen, why did you just eat it?" The young man asked weakly.

Tao Shengwen was even more strange, and asked in a surprised tone: "Is it right for me to eat directly?"

"Aren't water chestnuts eaten steamed? I've only seen steamed water chestnuts sold by others!"

"We eat raw ones. They are sweet and crispy. We have never eaten steamed ones. Did no one tell you when you went to pick water chestnuts?"

The young man shook his head blankly: "No, I was busy picking water chestnuts today, and I didn't listen to what they said, so I came directly after picking them."

"Uncle? Is it really edible raw?"

"Of course." Tao Shengwen picked up a water chestnut and put it in the young man's hand and said, "It's best to eat fresh water chestnut raw, and you have to pay attention to whether the water in the long water chestnut is polluted. If it is polluted, you don't dare to eat it." eat."

The young man stared at the water chestnut in the palm of his hand eager to try: "The water in Taoyuan Village must not be polluted, so I will try to eat one?"

Although it was a questioning tone, he didn't need Tao Shengwen's answer at all. He just followed the answer in his heart and went to the kitchen to split the water chestnut with a kitchen knife.

After splitting the hard outer shell, the white and tender water chestnuts lay obediently in the palm of the hand.The young man felt that there was no difference between the raw one and the steamed one, so he threw the water chestnut into his mouth.

The tender water chestnut is crisp and can be easily bitten open by the teeth, and then splashes the sweet juice.This kind of sweetness is a bit similar to the fresh and tender lotus seeds a few days ago. They are the kind of delicacies that make people want to eat.

Taking a deep look at the wooden box at Tao Shengwen's feet, the young man said goodbye immediately. Of course, the water chestnuts given away cannot be taken back, but those delivered to the village can still be bought back. Just hurry up, otherwise they will be robbed. manage.

Hastily saying goodbye, the young man walked out in a hurry, even forgetting the watermelon, the destination of today.

Only Tao Shengwen, who stayed where he was, looked blank, wondering what was going on, and left directly.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Write down this person's name first, and prepare a gift for him.

After Tao Ran settled all the matters in City Z, he finally returned to Taoyuan Village.Due to some reasons, Li Tingzhou, who was supposed to come back with him, would not be able to come back until the next day, and Mr. Li still had a period of formalities to complete, and he still had to wait to live in Taoyuan Village.

So Tao Ran was the only one returning to the village this time. When he walked into the village, he found no one there. Only the villagers who were part-time guards saw him today and explained the reason directly: "Of course you are back! I knew the watermelon was about to ripen and hurried back. Right? It's just in time to come back, your parents are too busy."

When Tao Ran thought about it, he knew that the villagers were going to grab the watermelon, so he should come back one day earlier.He could only speak a few words with the guard before running home.

I saw that there were people around the door of the house, but everyone was very rational and not crowded, but neatly lined up in two teams.Tao Shengwen and Tao Yue weighed watermelons in front of the two teams, while Tian Yuxia and Tao Liu were in charge of settling accounts and collecting money.

"There is still a team shooting here." Tao Ran ran over, stood up to Tao Shengwen's narration, and opened another sales booth.

"Tao Ran is back, the watermelons you planted are really good."

"Is this because you came here to help your parents? First weigh a big watermelon for your aunt."

"You are Tao Ran! I want the watermelon on your right foot."

Everyone was surprised by Tao Ran who rushed back, but they were more concerned about the watermelon in front of them.Hearing that the word watermelon was indispensable in everyone's mouth, Tao Ran could only concentrate on selling melons.

When all the watermelons are sold out, it's time to eat.

Both Tao Liu and Tao Yue had good eyesight, and the three members of this family were sure of their waists, so they went home first with a watermelon in their arms.

Tian Yuxia looked at her son. After being away from home for a while, his son actually gained a little weight, which made her unable to express her concern.

"Mom and Dad, how are you doing in the village? Are you used to tourists coming? Are you usually not tired?"

"I'm not tired, I'm having a good time. Your dad and I have made a lot of money."

"Really, my parents are pretty good, how much did they earn?"

Facing their son, Tian Yuxia and Tao Shengwen certainly didn't hide their real income as usual.Tian Yuxia proudly took out the account book, and turned the page from the day Tao Ran left, and asked Tao Ran to take a good look at the income of the two of them these days.

Seeing his parents getting a little nervous, Tao Ran was extremely happy, and didn't bother his parents, picked up the ledger and flipped through the pages.

Tian Yuxia has been keeping accounts for decades, and remembers her income and expenses clearly. She carefully checked the bottom balance, and her parents really made a lot of money.

"There are really a lot of them!" Tao Ran praised his parents vigorously, "Mom and Dad, you are really amazing, you are completely young..."

Tian Yuxia was quite proud, she puffed her chest out and said, "Yes, your mother can still do it. Wait a few days and I will pickle some bean paste, and it will sell better."

"The money and the rest of our savings are all in this bank card." Tao Shengwen got up and took out the bank card from his bag in the drawer, "Your mother and I are at home every day, and we don't need much money. Take the money and use it as you like, and go to the distant mountains to buy a car when you have time."
