Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Everyone gathered together. Gu Siwei was holding a potato seedling in his hand, standing on the edge of the ridge, bending down as if to plant the seedling into the ground.

"are you done?"

Gu Siwei asked Liu Dezhu.

"It's still a little bit close, it's not yet noon," Liu Dezhu said.

Gu Siwei couldn't bear it, so he knelt down on one knee and complained: "If you ask me, don't do these things. Let's save some time and cook more dishes. Wouldn't it be nice to have a nice meal? "

Today all the crops have been planted in the fields. Of course, not all the fields have been planted, but it can be said that most of the fields have been planted. Even if the remaining fields have not been planted, they are waiting for the sweet potato seedlings to grow. Time can also crawl over.

As the first land to be reclaimed, there is an old rule here in Shimo Village, that is, the last seedling must be planted when the sun is high in the sky. In this case, it is said that the weather will be smooth and the harvest of this land will always be good.

Gu Siwei didn't believe in this stuff, but Liu Fulin and the others believed it. Gu Siwei didn't want to offend everyone, so he started this ceremony.

It was noon now. In fact, the planting had been finished last night. Only this seedling was left, waiting for Gu Siwei to plant it at noon today.

As a result, Gu Siwei started posing half an hour ago, but the sun has not reached noon yet.

"Okay, we're here, we're here!"

Tao Yisheng stretched his head and took a look and found that it was noon, so he shouted to Gu Siwei.

When Gu Siwei heard this, he immediately opened up the soil on the ridge with his hands and put the seedlings in his hands. After putting them in, he said something special.

"Good fields and good soil support good people, and there will be a bumper harvest every year. You will reap what you sow. If you sow one seed, you will reap ten thousand."

Of course, this word was not coined by Lao Gu, nor could he coin it. Liu Fulin specially asked Gu Siwei to memorize it. He said it was a formula from the older generation. Now that Gu Siwei has memorized it, he can be regarded as a member of Shimo Village. A member.

After reciting these sentences, Gu Siwei quickly spread the soil to the roots of the seedlings. When he was done, he clapped his hands.

Sicui was also busy. At this time, Sicui took a water ladle and poured a little water under the roots of the seedlings. Actually, it was just a show. Watering at this time was not suitable. The sun was a bit strong. The official watering would have to be in the morning or evening. Anyone who has planted anything knows that watering at noon would burn the roots to death.

"Okay, it's over, it's over!"

Seeing Sicui pouring two drops of water, Gu Siwei said happily.

"It's over, it's over, I wish you a good harvest today," Liu Fulin also said happily.

"Yes, a good harvest!"

Everyone now looks at the fruits of their labor and feels satisfied. Even Gu Siwei himself feels that looking at the fields now seems to be different from before.

What kind of extra feeling is there, happiness? It's not like that, but it seems to be somewhat satisfying. It's not entirely correct. In short, it's that kind of indescribable feeling.

Gu Siwei never thought about being a real farmer. He just wanted to rely on the space to live a leisurely life. However, after these days of busy work, he gradually changed his view. If it is said that farming in these fields today is still semi-forced. So, Gu Siwei has already begun to make plans in his mind about what to plant on these lands next year.

The reason is that Gu Siwei likes this feeling.

Some people may find it strange that there are still people in this world who like to work so hard in farming. But this is the case for Gu Siwei. It's like a person who loves fitness. If he doesn't go to the gym and screams a few times in a day, he feels that the day has been without passion.

"Eating right now!"

Gu Siwei waved his hand, and as the head of the family, he greeted the guests for dinner.

Everyone quickly gathered around the table, and the dishes were already on the table. Today's dishes are not fancy, but the main thing is real. The thickness of the palm-sized pork belly is as thick as a penny, and there are a lot of it. One person can get at least two basins.

In addition to the meat, there is also mutton. The mutton has been simmered slowly since this morning. Now you only need to tear it lightly and the meat will fall off the bones immediately.

It's also a full pot.

There were only two dishes, none of which were vegetarian at all. The two large meat dishes didn't even have any vegetarian side dishes, so they just rushed to eat.

In addition, there is also drinking, men drink and women drink. Drinks are not something that farmers can care about these days.

Now this drink is in a glass bottle. It tastes like orange soda when Gu Siwei drinks it, but it doesn't say orange soda on it, but 887 Factory Soda.

This thing is not something that ordinary people can buy. Gu Siwei also borrowed the help of old man Xu Congwen. When he sent him pheasants and other things two days ago, he brought two bottles back from his house.

It's easy to buy wine. As long as you have money and tickets, you can buy it. Gu Siwei now has food, clothing and clothing. Most of the tickets he exchanged for from Wu Daorong were given to the shops over the factory. Anyway, as long as It's a good thing. If Gu Siwei has tickets in his pocket, he'll buy it.

So the wine on the table today is not wine from a small winery in the county, but a serious wine from a large winery, Yanghe Puqu.

If this thing were kept until a few decades later, a bottle would be worth hundreds of dollars anyway, but now it is so cheap that if you don't want it, Gu Siwei just took a box and threw it into the space to display.

"You can sit wherever you like. I won't be particular about it today. There is only one agenda. Let's eat and drink well. If you have enough meat and wine, let's eat!"

Waiting for everyone to sit down, Gu Siwei said a few words briefly, then gestured to open the wine and drinks and everyone started eating.

Everyone was not polite to Gu Siwei. After working for so many days, it was impossible to say that it was just for this meal. However, Gu Siwei was invited as the host, and the one who helped us with the work was a pretentious and serious person. Just open your cheeks and eat.

The wine commander at the table today is Liu Dezhu. Although he is also a guest, he is the youngest guest. Moreover, given the relationship between Liu Fulin and Gu Siwei's family, it is impossible for Liu Fulin to let his grandson be at the table and let Gu Siwei pour wine for everyone. Yes, there is something important here. If you don't have a good relationship, it won't work. If you don't have a good relationship, then you still have to look at the host's family.

In short, the countryside attaches great importance to this kind of relationship. Gu Siwei even wants to disobey it, but in the eyes of others, it means there are no rules. As the old saying goes, do as the Romans do. You can't go to other people's places and follow their own rules. Anyway, Gu Siwei is not stupid. Go tell the folks about your own rules.

Picking up a large piece of meat and putting it into the empty bowl in front of him, Gu Siwei lowered his head and took a bite. Suddenly, the delicious meat juice filled his mouth and enriched his taste buds, making Gu Siwei make a beautiful sound of satisfaction.

"Siwei's cooking of this big piece of meat is really good. Don't ask anyone else for trouble at home in the future. Just ask for help." Zheng Youcai also took a big piece of meat at this moment, took a big bite and praised Gu Siwei's craftsmanship.

After hearing this, Gu Siwei immediately waved his hand and said: "I really don't have this ability. It's okay to cook one or two dishes. At worst, I can even cook a table. But if you can prepare a banquet for dozens of tables, you really think highly of me." ".

The big banquet in the village and the cooking at home are two different routines. Not to mention cooking, think about dozens of tables, and each table must have at least a dozen dishes. They are prepared in the morning, and then they are poured on the table like water. Gu Siwei really can't reach this level.

"How can anyone who makes flowing mats be so good at making braised pork so delicious? It's also wild boar. If you don't taste it carefully, there's no smell of wild boar. Siwei, how did you get rid of the mutton?"

Although Tao Yisheng used to be a Taoist priest, his sect was not allowed to eat meat and was not allowed to get married. In the past, Lao Tao's master was a legendary figure, so Lao Tao followed his master to work in wealthy families and had a good meal. There are so many things.

So as soon as the meat was in his mouth, Tao Yisheng found out where Guan Jian was.

Gu Siwei can't say that I raise these pigs in the space. Maybe in a few years these pigs will be directly raised into domestic pigs. Shouldn't this be said to offend Lao Tao?

So Gu Siwei said: "There is no trick. I just use a three-piece set to remove the smell and add spices to soak. After soaking for a long time, some of the smell will be removed. Also, be careful when cutting into pieces."

It's as if you haven't said it before. It's like someone asking you how to get to the library, and you say it's next to the city hall. Then they ask you how to get to the city hall, and you say it's opposite the library. Don't you just say it!

"Yeah, yeah~!"

Fortunately, Tao Yisheng didn't have time to delve deeper. Now he was enjoying the meat in the bowl. He hadn't eaten meat so happily for a long time. Even now, Gu Siwei said that if the meat had to be soaked in feces for two days, Old Tao I will also agree with it.

The meat is swirling, the wine is drinking, and the atmosphere on the table is warm.

If it is not enthusiastic, it means that the wine is not drunk enough and the meat is not refreshing enough.

Today's meal didn't last as long as the last time Lao Gu stayed at Xu Congwen's house. After eating for less than an hour, everyone was full.

It's not because the food and wine are not good, but because the food is too hardcore. Even if Liu Fulin and others eat two big pieces of meat, how much room can they spare to put another pound of mutton?

The thing on the belly is the stomach, not the meat grinder.

So just after an hour, everyone was patting their bellies and exhaling happily, and the breath they exhaled was filled with the smell of grease.

"This meal is equivalent to celebrating the New Year!"

When Zheng Youcai heard what Liu Dezhu said, he couldn't help but laugh and tease his apprentice: "Then your family's life is quite good, and you can eat meat like this during the New Year."

Liu Dezhu scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to talk back to anything the master said, so he had to laugh twice. However, he had a rough temper and would not take it even if he was embarrassed.

Zheng Youcai liked Liu Dezhu and was willing to accept him as his apprentice. Firstly, Siwei gave him more, and secondly, Liu Dezhu was sincere.

Tao Yisheng patted his belly at this time: "Okay, I will go home later."

"Leaving now?"

"What are you doing here? You've done all the work and eaten the meat. Go back early." After Tao Yisheng finished speaking, he added, "We'll have a meal when the harvest comes."

Gu Siwei smiled and said, "Welcome again."
