Farming Food Tycoon

Chang Le’s home is on the east side of the village, and the paddy field is on the west side of the village. A small stream separates the paddy field from the village.

Chang Le walked in front with a threshing machine on his back, very man!

It is said to be a threshing machine, but it is actually an open empty box nailed into a few large wooden boards, a three-dimensional inverted trapezoid, without rollers and lids inside. Yu Qingze was a little curious about how they would thresh.

Grandpa Chang followed behind with a basket, with a jar of water and a shao-kei in it. Luokung is also a special oversized one, which is prepared for Chang Le at first glance.

Yu Qingze hurt his foot and couldn't walk quickly, so he walked slowly behind him with a wooden crutch, and Chang Hao's young boy accompanied him. Yu Qingze took the opportunity to observe the situation in the village. With Chang Hao present, he learned a lot about the situation.

For example, the name Niutou Village is because Houshan looks like a cow head. Yu Qingze looked sideways, and it was indeed a bit like.

There are two major surnames in the village, Yu and Chang. There are more than 30 households in the Yu surname, most of whom live near the creek; the Chang surname has only 16 households, who were relocated during the war, and they lived in the east of the village. Over the years, Yu's family has already been familiar with and accepted more than a dozen families with Chang's surname.

Most of the houses are still thatched huts. There are only two mud-brick houses and a large blue-brick house, which is considered to be a wealthy household in the village.

Yu Qingze was a little curious, so he asked.

Chang Hao explained to him: "The big blue brick house belongs to Yu Wei's house, and his father is Master Xiucai." When the young boy talked about Master Xiucai, his face was respectful and yearning.

Yu Qingze thought, and asked, "Xiaohao, do you want to go to school?"

Chang Hao did not hide, and replied: "I think, there is an elementary school in the village. The master of scholarship is a husband. People in the nearby villages want to study here to learn. But every month I have to pay 200 yuan, I will go I'm sorry."

Hearing this, Yu Qingze was silent for a while, and then said: "If you want to read, I can teach you."

Chang Hao immediately turned his head to stare at him, and said in surprise: "You can read? Can you teach me?!"

Yu Qingze nodded, very sure: "Yes."

"Good job, I want to learn!" A flower bloomed on Chang Hao's face, especially brilliant.

After a while, he asked again: "Brother Yu, can my brother learn to read with you? My brother is very smart and has a good memory!"

Basically no one in the village can go to school, and all those who go to school are men. For fear that Yu Qingze would not agree, Chang Hao praised his brother again.

"Yes!" Yu Qingze smiled. The two brothers have a very good relationship. They think about each other for any benefits, and they are very envious.

The two said that they were so busy that the double grab started these days. After finalizing this matter, Chang Hao was very happy, and knew everything about Yu Qingze's other questions.

"That tile house belongs to the village chief's house. He can do carpentry, and his son can also do carpentry. Basically all the furniture needed by people in the nearby villages are made by his house. Our big wooden barrels are also made by him. My brother went to the mountains to chop fine wood and carried it along. The other tile house belongs to the Orion family, and his family specializes in delivering game to the restaurants in the town..."

Yu Qingze caught a point and asked: "The village chief can do carpentry? How about their family?"

Chang Hao replied: "The village chief is very good, and the elder brother of the village chief’s family is also very good. Our pair of big wooden barrels, my brother carried a large piece of wood, the village chief confiscated our family’s money, and returned it. Give us a tub, just wash the vegetables."

Hearing that, Yu Qingze had a bottom in his heart and thought of a plan in his heart.

The two of them passed through the village, and their eyes suddenly opened up.

A piece of golden.

The yellow rice grains seemed to have laid a golden yellow carpet on the earth. The breeze blew by, and the rice ears undulated and rustled with the waves, singing happily the hymn of the harvest.

The early rice harvest this season is not bad, and the villagers are happily rushing to harvest the rice. Although the weather is hot, people will be sweaty as soon as they go out, as if they have just been soaked in hot water, but the joy of the harvest completely covered the fatigue.

Thinking of harvested millet, there is endless energy.

By the time the two arrived in the field, Chang Le and Grandpa Chang had already cut the old grass for a long distance.

Chang Hao picked up the cropping knife and went to crop the crops. Yu Qingze couldn't squat and cut crops like them because of his foot injury, but he could stand beside the threshing machine and do threshing work.

But the problem is, facing the empty threshing machine, he doesn't know how to operate it. He turned his head and looked at other villagers not far away, but it seemed that everyone was cutting the crops, and no one was threshing, and the threshing machines in other people's houses were in front of him.

In the end, Chang Le took a large bundle of rice and put it next to him. Yu Qingze asked for advice. He saw Chang Le picking up a hand of rice, and then throwing his hands over his head against the inner wall of the threshing machine.

Wow!

"..." Yu Qingze heard the sound of millet falling to the bottom of the box.

Later, I saw Chang Le shaking his hands again, shaking off the loose grains in the ears of rice, and when it didn't fall, he lifted it up and smashed it hard!

In this way, after smashing it four or five times, it is basically clean, and there is a little left that can be removed by hand.

Yu Qingze: "..." No wonder it's called Threshing, it can't be more appropriate!

It's very primitive and rude, and it looks very tired. This made him firmer in his mind, and must make them less tired after harvesting.

In short, Yu Qingze knows how to thresh.

Chang Le was afraid of his legs and feet, so he moved all the rice to the threshing machine very considerately, and then cut the grains again.

This field is quite big, it may look like seven or eight cents, Chang Le and Grandpa Chang have already cut a half in the morning.

Chang Le cuts the grass fast and moves very neatly and skillfully.

He squatted in front of the rice grains, his feet were slightly wider than shoulders, his right hand cut the grain knife, his left hand held the grain grain, and his body moved from the right to the left following the movements of his hands. In a few seconds, he cut from the right to the left, with the left hand. Yiyang shakes the rice ears smoothly, then arranges his hand neatly on the left, then turns back to continue cutting...

He and his party can probably cut eight or nine stalks in the past.

After waiting two hours, the entire field was cut, and Yu Qingze never saw him rest.

Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao would stand up and move around when their feet were numb, and take a break. Chang Le never stood up at all. When he finished cutting over, he took advantage of the trend and made a turn, cut the other end directly, and then cut it on the other side.

Yu Qingze had no doubt that if he were to cut it all by himself, the whole field could be put in a circle of mosquito coils or a dragon in the end.

After cutting, they returned to the threshing machine and sat down to rest for a while, and Yu Qingze also rested for a while.

It was smashed for more than two hours, even if he was strong, his arms were sore, and he was still sweating profusely.

He also deeply realized that cutting crops is a little easier, and threshing is the highlight! Especially in the midsummer when the sun is in the sky, it is simply a salt water bath! Salt is self-produced and sold!

He especially missed the modern harvester.

When he was a child, his grandfather's family was a threshing machine driven by a diesel engine. At that time, his family was the only one in the village who didn't use the threshing machine to thresh. The villagers always envied him.

Now let alone the harvester and the diesel threshing machine, there is a threshing machine that can be stepped on, he can move the world!

He quickly recalled the structure of the threshing machine, several commonly used agricultural tools, and some ancient and simple and useful agricultural tools that he saw when he visited the Farming Museum before. When he was ready to go back, he would draw them out and find someone to make them. !

Although tired, the results of his hard work are gratifying. There are already a lot of grass behind him, and there is a thick layer of millet at the bottom of the threshing machine.

"Wow, Brother Yu, you are amazing, you have already beaten so many!" Chang Hao walked over and saw the millet in the threshing machine, exclaiming in surprise.

Grandpa Chang also praised: "Yes, a good hand!"

Chang Le hugged the water jar, first poured a bowl of water for his grandfather, then poured another bowl for Yu Qingze, and gave him a thumbs up as a compliment.

Yu Qingze was embarrassed by the fancy praise of their family. His handsome face was rarely red. He waved his hand and said: "If you praise me again, I will float up and all the clouds in the sky can be picked off. !"

Several people laughed, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

After resting for a while, several people began to graze.

Near noon, seeing that the time was almost the same and that the millet was almost enough for a load, they stopped and prepared to go home to rest for lunch, and come back in the afternoon.

The sun was scorching, and after a whole morning of busy work, it was still such a laborious work. The clothes of several people were soaked, and their hair was soaked.

At this time, Chang Hao was very envious of Yu Qingze's short hair, not only easy to clean, but also super cool!

Regarding Yu Qingze’s short hair, Chang Hao and the others were curious to ask before. Yu Qingze found an excuse. Before coming to the south, he followed the horse team to the north to buy furs. He was infected with lice and could not be cleaned, so he had to shave it all. Lost.

It is well-founded and very reasonable.

So they believed and comforted him, making Yu Qingze dumbfounded.

Because of the heat, when Chang Le used the grains in the Shau Kei bucket, Yu Qingze discovered the secret behind Chang Le's thick bangs.

Sweat wet his forehead, and Chang Le's bangs were tied together, revealing a 45-centimeter-long scar on his white forehead, extending from the middle of his left eyebrow all the way up to his forehead. If you take a closer look, you can see that the middle of his left eyebrows are broken, but the front eyebrows are longer and obscured, making it less conspicuous.

Yu Qingze was taken aback for a moment. There was such a long scar with eyes underneath. He didn't know how he was injured, but one can imagine how dangerous it was when he was injured.

The scar actually looks like a long time ago. The color has faded, but it is slightly protruding. At first glance, it looks a bit ferocious with such a long one crawling on the fair skin.

It's no wonder that Chang Le wants to have such thick and long bangs.

It's no wonder that his uncle said that he had a broken phase, he really had a broken phase, otherwise, Chang Le is really very good-looking.

A healthy complexion, a delicate face, moderately thick lips, and a pair of smart eyes are very energetic. The skin is also very good, and the pores are not visible at all.

Yu Qingze felt a little sorry for Chang Le. It is estimated that this scar has scared away many marriage partners.

Although he hasn't even 24 hours to wake up, Chang Le has left a good impression in his heart.

Hardworking, gentle, kind, loving his family, and being gentle with him as a stranger.

Such a good boy deserves happiness.

Perhaps Yu Qingze's gaze was too focused, Chang Le noticed it, and he turned his head in surprise and looked at him. After realizing the surprise and pity in his eyes, Chang Le was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around, carrying Yu Qingze on his back, stretched out his hand to comb the bangs in front of his forehead, and then quickly left with Gu Zi.

Yu Qingze: ...I was accidentally embarrassed again, but fortunately Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao didn't notice.

Chang Hao accompanied Yu Qingze to move back slowly. Grandpa Chang went back to cook first, and Chang Le picked millet and went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. The division of labor was very clear.

When Yu Qingze and Chang Hao arrived home, Chang Le had already picked the beans and the water spinach was ready to be made.

Yu Qingze met and said quickly: "Le brother, you go to the break, I will do it."

Chang Le saw him, and was a little embarrassed, for fear that his scar would scare him.

In the past, many people were scared when they saw the scar on his forehead. Children of the same age always laughed at him and called him ugly, so he left long bangs to cover the scar. It's been over ten years.

However, Chang was happy to see that Yu Qingze's expression seemed to be the same, so he was a little relieved and gave him a grateful look.

Afterwards, he quickly gesticulated to answer Yu Qingze's words, and Chang Hao interpreted next to him.

This means that Yu Qingze is a guest, and he already made breakfast, so how can he make lunch? Although the dishes he cooks are delicious, they are not in line with his family's hospitality.

Yu Qingze smiled and said: "Cooking is my hobby, and that's just a little speciality. I live here for nothing. If you don't let me do some work, I am embarrassed to live anymore."

Chang Le originally wanted to refuse, but Yu Qingze moved out his assassin, "Look, Grandpa and Xiaohao both like to eat, so let me show it off."

Grandpa and younger brother are Chang Le’s weakness, and once they move out, he is gone. Who makes your own cooking bad? He hesitated, then nodded in agreement, and went to set the fire silently.

Chang Hao saw that his brother looked a little lost, and said hurriedly: "Brother, I also like eating your dishes!"

Hearing this, Chang Le patted his younger brother's shoulder deeply.

If you haven't eaten Yu Qingze's dishes, if you didn't wait to lick the bowl of sweet potato stems in the morning, I would believe you.

Yu Qingze simply washed his face and hands, and then started cooking.

Although it is only the most common carob and water spinach, and lacks other ingredients, the taste prepared by the chef is fundamentally different from that prepared by ordinary people.

If it is made by Changle, the beans will be boiled directly in water.

However, Chef Yu uses the stir-fry. Without ginger, garlic, pepper and dried chili, and considering fuel saving, he just stirs it out for him. Although there is no authentic dried roasted beans, it is comparable to the difference between a toad and a frog prince compared to boiled ones.

While Chang Le burned the fire in accordance with Yu Qingze's request, he looked up secretly at Yu Qingze's movements, striving to write down his cooking steps and the fire conditions he requested.

The first step to improve your cooking skills is to steal the master!

Yu Qingze hasn't noticed that Chang Le is learning secretly at this meeting, he is just cooking without a second thought. It should be said that he has become accustomed to being watched when he is cooking. He has taken a few apprentices in the past, and it is common to be seen cooking.

He cooks food very quickly, and soon the food is on the table. The three of Changle's family were very appreciative and praised as they finished their dishes.

Tired all morning, a few people finished eating, after a while, Chang Hao opened the back door of the hall, dragged out two bamboo mats to a shop on the floor of the hall, greeted Yu Qingze and took a nap!

The sun in midsummer is too poisonous, especially at noon, not suitable for going out to work. Everyone is also used to taking a nap, resting, and waiting for noon to go to work.

The three men spread two bamboo mats and lay on the floor of the hall. The front and back were ventilated. The floor was very cool. Yu Qingze fell asleep after not sleeping well at night and working all morning. On the other hand, Chang Le went to the creek to wash his clothes, and then laid a straw mat on the kitchen floor, near the water tank, which was also very cool.

Before halfway through (about a little more than two o'clock in the afternoon), Chang Le picked up the basket and went to the field first.

Grandpa Chang also got up and went to the kitchen to chop pig grass and cook pig food. Chang Le wouldn't let him go to the fields at noon for fear of heatstroke. He insisted that he could go out after the hour (three o'clock in the afternoon). He couldn't hold him back, so he cooked the pig food every day before going.

Yu Qingze and Chang Hao overslept a bit. When they arrived in the field with Grandpa Chang, they found that they were surrounded by a large circle of people on the road to the field. Chang Le was surrounded in the middle, noisy, like something happened. thing.

Chang Le and Grandpa Chang met, and rushed over.

Yu Qingze was taken aback for a moment, ignoring the sprain, speeded up his pace, stepped on tiptoe and jumped a few steps, rushing to and fro.

The author has something to say: This chapter is very thick and long.

Threshing in a small theater:

Author: Come on, raise your hands and wave as much as you want!

Chang Hao makes a fist: I have used my great power!

Yu Qingze waved his arm: Please look at my unicorn arm!

Chang Le silently raised the threshing machine filled with grains.

Chang Hao & Yu Qingze: …Big brother, give you the knee _(:з」∠)_
