Scholar’s Sweetheart - Chapter 446
Soon after the potatoes were harvested, the grapes were almost picked.
Song Xintong came to the vineyard with wennuan and twins. Looking at the rows of grape trellis, he could smell the sweetness of grapes in the wind.
“Mother, are these our grapes?” Huajuan couldn’t help swallowing, looking at these grapes are so big, purple like agate jade, with white frost on it, it’s really beautiful.
“This is the only acre in our family.” Song Xintong pointed to a place with a grass shed in front of him.
After listening to steamed bread and rolls, he ran to the vineyard to pick the best grapes.
“Niang, why do we only plant one mu in our family?” Warm with the side, a little lady dress.
“This is the grape planted last year. My brothers said it was delicious, so I asked people to keep this mu of grapes.” Song Xintong holds warm shoulder, “take good hat curtain and gloves, don’t be bitten by insects.”
He patted his wrapped cloth and gloves, “Mom, do we want to take them all home? Will so many be broken? ”
“Last month, I picked part of it and sent it to the capital. There is not much left in the garden. It doesn’t matter if I pick it home at one time.” Song Xintong pause, “if afraid of broken, we can also dry into raisins.”
“It can be dried into raisins. You can eat them at any time in the future, and you don’t have to pay for them.” Nuan Nuan has learned to take care of her family’s business and accounts with song Xintong, so she knows that it costs a lot of money to buy snacks at home every year, so when she sees these grape trellis, she thinks that after drying, she doesn’t have to spend any more money to buy them.
“Well, listen to the housekeeper.” Song Xintong looked at the twins who had already picked grapes to eat, “you two don’t want to take off your hat. It’s not nice to tan.”
“My uncle is black and pretty.” The flower roll head also didn’t return of say.
Dabao and Xiaobao failed in this year’s examination. After they were in a good mood, they began to study abroad. They first came to Shahe county to see them. After more than ten days, they set out again, and now they are heading south.
“Uncle is uncle, you are you, be obedient, put on your hat, or you will have a burning cheek later. Don’t blame me for not reminding you.” Song Xintong put on his hat to them. “Come to work soon. Let’s dry the raisins together when we get home.”
“All right, I’ll come.” The twins finished eating the last grape, wiped their hands, and then came to cut the grapes with a small basket.
Although the twins are not very old, they still have a good working style, and they are not tired. They look like little adults.
Song Xintong doesn’t spoil the children too much. Except that he didn’t let them play with water and do dangerous things before the age of five, now he basically asks them to do all kinds of things, such as riding, farming, working, washing and so on.
Girls are rich and boys are poor, so in many ways, song Xintong will treat the twins differently from nuanwan. In addition, she will instill in the twins the idea of taking good care of their elder sister. Now the two boys will protect their only elder sister wherever they go.
Like now.
“Sister, be careful. Don’t cut your hand.”
“Sister, be careful of the ditch on the ground. Don’t wrestle. Later, if I don’t pull you with my brother, you can’t get up.”
Wennuan stepped across the ditch and looked back at the twins. “Be careful, you two. I won’t pull you if you fall in.”
“No way.”
Sister and brother always care about each other in a different way. They are warm hearted and hard spoken.
Song Xintong and his three children finished picking grapes, and there were hundreds of Jin in less than half an acre vineyard.
After the grapes are transported home, some of them are left to eat by themselves, and some of them are put on the shelves that have been built long ago. Then the grapes are allowed to be dried by the hot wind, and all the water is dried. After 20 days, the natural raisins are made successfully.
These are later words. At the moment, the people who plant grapes are working hard to pick grapes.
Last month, after the potato harvest, the grapes in the vineyard were in the middle of ripening. Because there were more grape growing areas than potatoes, song Xintong directly asked people to pick and package some grapes, and then quickly sent them to the capital to the saints and dignitaries.
Because last year, some people tasted the grapes from Shahe County, and they all felt that they had good taste and sweet taste, so they were willing to buy them again.
So when it comes to the normal ripening season, businessmen from nearby state capitals come to order early, and Moyo sells half of the grapes.
The remaining half of the grapes were basically mature, and the preservation problem was not very good, so they were transported out of Xinzhou City. So song Xintong taught us the method of drying raisins, and then sold them to the merchants.
So these days, the joy of harvest can be heard everywhere.
People in Shahe county are worried when they look at the smiling faces of other people’s harvest. Although they have planted some grass, there are not many seeds and they can not change much money.
So we are very envious of planting potatoes and grapes, but because of the county magistrate, we dare not ask more.
Wait and wait.
The twins were also impatient and ran to the watermelon field several times a day, but the watermelon was still not ripe.
In fact, they don’t know whether they are ripe or not. They just heard from my mother that because the watermelon was planted late this year, they had to wait a long time, but how long did they have to wait?
After finishing their homework, the twins ran to the shed outside the city to look around to see if the melons in the field had been stolen, and then to see if there were any watermelons bitten by insects.
They also patted watermelons like adults to hear if there was a bang bang sound. If there was a bang bang sound, the watermelons were not ripe.
Scroll looked at the sun outside, some afraid of heat, calling the steamed bread: “brother, you knock to see if it’s ripe, mother said it should be ripe in July.”
“Hot, go by yourself.” Steamed bread with a puye fan in the wind, in fact, the day is not sultry, but the sun is too toxic, the sun makes people dizzy.
“If I go, I won’t give it to you.” The scroll is also trying to use provocation.
But Mantou is the elder brother who was born a few minutes earlier. Although he doesn’t speak as much as his younger brother, he is a lot smarter. Naturally, he won’t fall into the trap. “Aren’t you thirsty? You go to pick it. We’ll cut it and eat it. ”
“Thirsty.” After running all the way, huajuan wanted to drink water. He ran to the melon field and walked around for a few times. Then he picked the biggest one and checked it according to his mother’s method.
The first step is to see if there is white hair beside the melon pedicle. If it falls off and becomes smooth, it means it is almost ripe.
The scroll looked at the location of the melon, smooth hairless, ripe.
The second step is to pat the watermelon.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Huajuan directly picked the melon, and then vigorously picked up nearly ten kilograms of watermelon, laboriously went to the shed.
“Brother, come and help.”
Steamed bread came out of the shed, saw the big watermelon in huajuan’s hand, wrinkled his pretty eyebrows, “how did you pick it?”
“Because it’s ripe.” Huajuan was so tired that he Chi Chi, his little white face was so tired that he became red. “Brother, come and help me to hold it. I can’t hold it any more.”
Steamed bread ran to help, and they carried it to the melon shed.
Huajuan was so tired that he sat down on the bench and gasped, “I’m so tired.”
Mantou asked his servant for a knife and cut the melon in half. The moment the watermelon was cut, the sweet taste inside suddenly floated out.
“It must be very sweet,” he said
Steamed bread looked at the red sand, cut a small piece into his mouth, “it’s really sweet.”
“I want to eat, too.” The scroll opens its mouth and makes a sound.
“Wait a minute.” Steamed bread will watermelon cut into a few small pieces, easy to take to eat.
After the steamed bread was cut, huajuan could not wait to pick up the watermelon and eat it. At the first bite, he felt that his thirsty throat was cured. “It’s really sweet, it’s delicious.”
“Take your time. There’s a lot more.” Steamed bread is a lot of gentle, small mouthful of eating watermelon, smiling peach eyes revealed his satisfaction with the watermelon.
Eat a few pieces of watermelon, the scroll is full, patting the stomach bulge, belch: “brother, I’m full.”
Steamed bread looked at the rest of the watermelon, “there are many.”
“I can’t eat any more.” The scroll shook his head. “Take it back to my parents. Don’t waste it.”
After that, he asked the servant to pick two more watermelons from the field, and then he took the remaining watermelons and went back to the county government together.
After returning to the county government, huajuan ran to song Xintong’s room like asking for credit, “Niang, look what good things I brought you.”
Song Xintong looked at the watermelon in his hand, “ripe?”
“It’s ripe.” Huajuan put the half cut watermelon on the table, “Niang, please have a taste.”
Song Xintong looked at the watermelon that had been cut in half, “have you eaten most of it?”
As soon as the back of the scroll was tight, he laughed twice, “mother, we tasted it first. If we found it was ripe, we brought it back to mother immediately. Mother, I only ate one piece.”
“So it is.” Song Xintong saw through the delicious nature of huajuan early, and did not tear it down. He only said, “I’m worried that if you eat too much, you will have diarrhea. If you only eat one piece, you won’t have diarrhea.”
The scroll touched his stomach unnaturally.
Song Xintong said: “didn’t you eat watermelon seeds? If you eat the seeds, they will germinate. At that time, a lot of watermelons will come out on your head. ”
Huajuan was terrified and said, “do you really grow watermelon?”
Steamed bread is calm said: “mother cheat you.”
Scroll disappointed oh, a face of regret touched his head, “I thought I could eat watermelon.”
“…” Song Xintong is speechless. What she gave birth to.
