Chapter 132 Big Tangyuan
The next day, when Chen Jun and Chen Tao got up, they found that they were broken, which made them very embarrassed.
Zhang Hua made tea for them, and Chen Jun couldn't help complaining: "You don't know how to persuade me to order, but you got drunk the first time you came to the door, how rude!"
"What's the matter, my parents won't mind!" Zhang Hua said with a smile.
Chen Tao was also a little annoyed, and then a little puzzled, and asked Zhang Hua: "Why does the wine taste so weak?"
"Because that's the sorghum wine we bake here, and it's usually above [-] degrees. If I'm not wrong, my dad should still buy the wine, maybe it's [-] degrees.
Although I soaked some sugar cane and oranges, it didn’t reduce the degree much. After all, sugar cane and oranges are also raw materials for wine making. Therefore, although the wine tastes smooth and sweet, it is actually very intoxicating. .
Didn't you see that I was drinking in small sips?
Who knows that you drink quite well, but it doesn't matter, it was a tiring day, and you can sleep more comfortably after drinking some wine, don't you wake up today in good spirits! "Zhang Hua laughed.
The spirit is naturally very good. After all, after sleeping for more than ten hours at once, it is still a deep sleep after drinking, so can the spirit be bad?
If you go to bed early, you get up early, it was only past six o'clock, and it was pitch black outside, but Zhang's father and Zhang's mother had to get up earlier, and they were already cooking.
After Chen Jun drank some tea, he felt much more comfortable. He got up and wanted to go out to help. Chen Tao also went out. Zhang Hua smiled and didn't stop them. After a while, the two were ushered in.
Chen Tao asked suspiciously: "Do the men here also help with the cooking?"
"Whoever is free will do it. If you have time, do it together. Just rest and wait for food. Didn't you see that Zhang Qin didn't get up!" Zhang Hua laughed.
In the morning, I cook glutinous rice balls, but they are a bit bigger. Two bowls with a diameter of [-] cm can fill up two glutinous rice balls.
Chen Tao gestured with his fists, and said with a wry smile, "It's about the same size, I might not be able to eat two!"
Chen Jun looked at the two glutinous rice balls in the bowl with a strange expression, and said, "Then I definitely can't eat two!"
"It's okay, let's eat first, and I'll help you eat the rest!" Zhang Hua smiled at Chen Jun.
After piercing the glutinous rice balls with chopsticks, the syrup made of brown and white sugar wrapped in sesame seeds came out together. Chen Jun dipped a little bit of the chopsticks in and tasted it, then nodded and said with a smile: "The taste is not bad!"
Chen Tao didn't want anything after eating two of them, and Chen Jun finally left half for Zhang Hua.
After breakfast, Zhang's mother began to grab the stored dried sweet potato vines and sweet potato pieces to cook pig feed together, while Zhang's father went out to chop a back pocket of cowhide and chopped it finely, and cooked it together.
Chen Jun wanted to help, but Zhang's mother stopped her, and said with a smile: "There is no reason for a new wife to do things. You will have a long time to do things in the future, so you should rest now!"
Zhang Hua smiled and asked, "Is it enough to cook a big pot a day?"
"One pot is enough for one meal, two meals a day!" Zhang's father poured cornmeal into the pot and said, stirring, "The pig is not big now, I'm afraid we will have to cook another pot after a while!"
Zhang Hua nodded, and said: "Let's invite two people, you don't need to be so tired, you can't stand being idle every day, if you really want to be like this, it's better not to take care of it."
Father Zhang smiled, but didn't speak.
Sitting stupidly on the side is a bit uncomfortable for Chen Tao. Chen Jun can basically understand the accent of Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, but Chen Tao needs to guess and fool.
"Brother Huazi, don't you have anything to do here?"
Zhang Hua thought for a while, and said, "Hey, I really have something to do, I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me."
"Do you know what to do?" Zhang's mother scolded: "Take them to Qingyuan Palace for a stroll, or to climb Yunshan Mountain. Don't we know if there is anything at home?"
"No, I really forgot something!" Zhang Hua explained: "The pepper tree needs to be harvested, otherwise it will affect the yield if it keeps growing like this. This task is not heavy, but it is a bit troublesome!"
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Qin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, Chen Jun and the others wanted to do something, but she didn't want to, but if Chen Jun's siblings all went to work, she would definitely not be able to run away.
Zhang Hua smiled and explained: "It is to cut off the tip of the new branch of the pepper tree, so as not to let it continue to grow taller, but to grow thicker, so that the nutrients on the branches can give The Zanthoxylum bungeanum provides more nutrients and thus increases the yield.”
"It seems reasonable to say that!" Father Zhang thought for a while, and said, "There are really a lot of things, those pepper trees have grown a lot of branches this year, and each one is as thick as a little finger. If it is longer and thicker, it will really bear a little more pepper."
"It won't take long. With so many of us, we can finish it in two days at most. After all, it's just a short cut!" Zhang Hua asked with a smile, "Do we have so many scissors?"
"Yes, but I don't know if it fits well. What kind of scissors do I want?" Mother Zhang asked.
"Anything is fine. The tips are very tender and you can pinch them off with your hands. It's just inconvenient. The pepper tree is also prone to infection. It's better to use scissors. Sharper scissors will close the mouth and make it heal faster. !” Zhang Hua explained.
Father Zhang thought for a while, and said, "Then why don't you just buy a few new ones, since they will be used later anyway."
Zhang Hua looked at Zhang Qin and said, "Go!"
"Why don't you go, it's such a cold day!" Zhang Qin replied immediately.
Zhang Hua wanted to talk about her bicycle, but Chen Jun pulled his sleeve, so he said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go."
Chen Jun quickly said, "I'll go too!"
"Then what should I do?" Chen Tao asked quickly.
Chen Tao was already a little shy, so it was somewhat uncomfortable for him to be alone with his unfamiliar father Zhang and the others.
"Then let's go together!" Zhang Hua thought for a while, and said, "I'll buy two more bicycles later, so I can go around on them after I shoot the pepper trees!"
"Then I'll go too!" Zhang Qin wanted to go again now, mainly because Zhang Hua said to buy something, and she wanted to go along to see if she could take advantage of it.
So Zhang Qin rode a bicycle and took Chen Jun to the front, Zhang Hua and Chen Tao followed behind, and the group went to Changzhen.
After walking for a while, Zhang Qin and Chen Jun also came down and started walking when they encountered an uphill slope, waiting for Zhang Hua and the others to join them.
Chen Jun stepped on the four-foot road under his feet, and said with some doubts: "The country roads here are still very good!"
"That's right, fix the roadbed and wait for my brother to come back and lay the cement!" Zhang Qin said with some displeasure.
"You promised?" Chen Jun asked Zhang Hua in surprise.
