She went to the back room alone and closed the door. When he entered the small world, the sapling that he had placed in the small world yesterday remained the same. The magical thing about the small world was that no matter how long the plants were placed inside, they would remain the same even if they did not touch the soil. They would not lose their vitality.
Zhang Wenyuan took a tape measure and carefully measured the land of the small world. Planting plants required careful planning. Zhang Wenyuan divided the two acres of land around the spring into four pieces, each with five points. One was used to grow herbs, one was used to grow vegetables, and another was used to plant fruit trees. The last one was left empty in case of emergencies.
Zhang Wenyuan opened the snakeskin bag and took out the original crocus root. He brought in a wooden bucket and a wooden ladle. He first watered half an acre of land with the spring water from the small world, then used an iron rake to turn the soil over, and then hooked it into a shallow ditch. He placed a crocus root at a distance of one foot. After placing it on half an acre of land, he gently covered it with a layer of soil. The soil layer did not need to be too deep, as long as it covered the roots and exposed the core.
After covering it with soil, he sprinkled the spring water from the small world on it (from now on, the spring water from the small world will be called spirit spring water). Even though he had already seen the wonders of the spiritual spring water, he was still amazed. After the spring water seeped into the soil, the seedlings broke out of the soil at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, they scattered their branches and leaves, and stood gracefully. Just as they were about to bud, they stopped. Zhang Wenyuan immediately sprinkled a layer of spring water carefully. Like a blooming epiphyllum, the crocus buds bloomed collectively. The clusters of red and purple flowers were like burning flames, bright and glistening.
Looking at the RMB in full bloom, this feeling was even more exciting than holding real RMB in one's hand. Zhang Wenyuan carefully picked the eye-catching red plant gold. He weighed it in his hand and found that it was about 500 grams. With a price of 25 dollars per gram, he had earned more than 12,000 dollars in such a short period of time.
Zhang Wenyuan shook his head and carefully put away the red flowers he had already harvested. He lost interest in watering the spring water and allowed them to grow freely.
He arranged the fruit trees that he had brought back. He was going to plant all the grape trees in the small world. He would leave one pear, apple, cherry, and other trees in each small world and plant another in the orchard outside.
The distance between the trees was much larger. The distance between the grape trees was 1.5 meters, and the pit was only 30 centimeters deep. With Zhang Wenyuan's physical strength, he could make a pit in two or three moves. He placed the grape saplings and covered them with soil. Cherry trees and long-eyed trees had to be more than three meters apart so that the trees would not be entangled with each other. This type of tall fruit tree had a more developed root system. The planting pit needed to be 60 to 70 centimeters deep and half a square meter wide. The fruit tree was still placed properly and covered with empty soil. After planting the saplings, he watered them with some spirit spring water and covered them with a thick layer of soil before patting them down. The reaction of the sapling was not as intense as the reaction of the vegetables and crocus, but it was still more than a foot tall. The new branches and leaves seemed to have been cut out in spring, tender and green.
Longan was also known as Longan. It was not only a delicious fruit, but also had medicinal value. It had the effects of strengthening yang, replenishing qi, nourishing the heart and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the nerves. It could cure diseases such as leukemia, palpitation, insomnia, and more importantly, it also had the function of beauty and longevity. However, the growth of long eyes was more picky about the environment. It was generally suitable in subtropics and areas without severe frost. It mainly grew in the south of our country. Due to its various effects and difficult growth, it had always been a precious specialty. In history, it was known as the " Longan " in the south and the " Ginseng " in the north.
The long-eyed tree could grow up to ten or twenty feet when it bore fruit, and the fruit would fall down in droves. The fruit was round and slightly smaller than a lychee. When it was ripe, its skin was greenish brown. After peeling off the skin, it was crystal clear. One could vaguely see the reddish-black fruit core in the meat, which was very similar to an eyeball, so it was named "long eye".
Cherry peaches ripened early and were known as the first fruit in early spring. The fruit was as small as a pearl, but it was bright red and smooth, as exquisite as an agate gem. The taste was sweet and slightly sour. It could be eaten fresh or used to make soup to embellish it. No matter what method of eating it, it was favored. It was said that yellow orioles especially liked to peck at this kind of fruit, so it was called "Yingtao".
Cherry peaches could also be used for beauty. The production had always been low, and the market demand was greater than the supply. More than 20 yuan per catty was often priceless. During the annual fruit sales period, the price would continue to rise, reaching 40 to 50 yuan per catty. Ordinary people really could not afford it.
Zhang Wenyuan planted these fruit trees in the small world not for profit, but to satisfy his appetite.
After planting the fruit trees, Zhang Wenyuan followed Yang Wanli's instructions and planted the strawberries at one-meter intervals under the fruit trees. As soon as the spring water was sprinkled, new branches grew out of the strawberry core and spread rapidly as if they had intelligence. After that, a small yellow flower bloomed. After the flower bloomed, the big green strawberry lump on the fingernail was revealed. It gradually expanded to the size of two coins, and its color turned bright red, like delicate hearts. It was bright and tempting, causing the taste buds to secrete acid.
Zhang Wenyuan picked one and put it in his mouth. With a little force, the sour and sweet juice filled his mouth, and the unique fragrance lingered in his teeth for a long time.
As for the vegetable field, they were not in a hurry to plant it. Zhang Wenyuan took out a double plastic bag from the snakeskin bag and picked a bag full of strawberries. Then, he carried the remaining fruit trees and snakeskin bags out of the small world.
She carried her things back to the front room. Before Zhang Wenyuan could shout, Yaya ran over with the little squirrel in her arms and entered the kitchen with Zhang Wenyuan.
In the kitchen, Jiang Yazhi and Jiang Xiaomei were preparing the ingredients for lunch. Zhang Wenyuan put the rice into the noodle cabinet, then took out apples, snacks, and a bag of strawberries and placed them on the chopping board.
Ya Ya immediately shouted happily,""Daddy bought apples!"
Zhang Wenyuan took out a strawberry and put it in front of Yaya's mouth. He asked,""Do you know what this is?"
Ya Ya shook her head. Yaya was not the only one who did not recognize him. Even Jiang Yazhi did not recognize him.
"It's strawberries," said Zhang Wenyuan. As he spoke, he sent it into Yaya's small mouth. Bright red juice flowed out from the corner of her mouth, and Zhang Wenyuan wiped it away.
The eyes of the sisters beside him were filled with disbelief. Zhang Wenyuan had never brought back anything when the money was in his hands. The sun had actually risen from the west yesterday.
Zhang Wenyuan knew what they were thinking. He took out the money from his pocket and waved it around."Yesterday, I went to the Heavenly Bazaar and went to the previous episode. I spent less than 100 yuan in total, so I have more than 300 yuan left.”
He took out 200 yuan and sent it to Jiang Yazhi, saying,""This 200 is for you. I'll keep a hundred for myself. I'm going to the city in two days.”
His wife, Jiang Yazhi, had tears in her eyes. She quickly waved her hand, indicating for Zhang Wenyuan to keep them all. Jiang Xiaomei grabbed the money and stuffed it into her sister's hand.
"Sister, if he asks you to take it, then take it. He doesn't need the money now anyway.”
Zhang Wenyuan felt helpless against Jiang Xiaomei's hostile attitude, but he could do nothing about it. Who asked him to be too muddle-headed in the past?
Jiang Yazhi took the money and placed it in Zhang Wenyuan's hand. Looking at his wife's trusting and expectant eyes, Zhang Wenyuan put the money into his pocket and patted his pocket. This was an attitude and a silent vow. Sometimes, actions were more convincing than words. When his wife saw this, a bright smile broke out on her face, and her dead heart was revived.
Zhang Wenyuan poured the strawberries into a bowl and handed it to them. He washed a few apples and tied them around his waist to prepare the ingredients for lunch. The wife only tasted one strawberry before handing the bowl to the aunt and nephew. She went to the table to help wash the meat and cut the vegetables.
Ya Ya and Jiang Xiaomei were eating apples at the side. Ya Ya would come over from time to time to put a strawberry into her parents 'mouths. The whole family was happy.
Little Sister Jiang was a little stunned as she looked at the couple who were busy working by the table.
Many people said that marriage was the grave of love for women. It turned out that a good girl had married the wrong man! Love was not about wealth, but helping each other. Marriage was a happy thing, provided that you married someone who treated you like a treasure. It would be a blessing if this man could treat his sister the way he treated her today.
"Auntie, there's one last strawberry. Do you still want it?”Yaya's childish question pulled Little Sister Jiang back to her senses.
Shaking her head, she thought to herself in a self-deprecating manner that she had overestimated this man. She did not know how long this situation could last. When that time came, her sister would suffer again.
"Aunty doesn't want to eat anymore. Ya Ya can eat by herself.”Little Sister Jiang stroked Yaya's hair tenderly and replied.
"I didn't eat it, it was for the kittens.”Ya Ya said seriously, then put the strawberry into the squirrel's mouth. The little thing cheered and swallowed the strawberry in one bite. It licked Yaya's fingers like a spoiled child who wanted another strawberry.
Zhang Wenyuan turned around and saw this scene. He smiled and said,"This little thing is so smart.”
Zhang Wen was about two meters tall, but he was doing what women usually do with his waist. It was as awkward as a northeastern man singing a Jiangnan tune. However, Zhang Wenyuan himself did not care. Back then, Su Shi was a typical Northern Han. He was reluctant to leave the kitchen, but it did not damage his talent and invented the famous Dongpo Pork. Moreover, they were still in their own house.
A pot of steamed rice and a pot of stir-fried vegetables. The first dish was braised pork trotters. In his previous life, when he was living alone, he had always cooked by himself. He had learned a lot of dishes from the recipes and special channels on the television. Although many families didn't have the first choice of ingredients for braised pork trotters, they had replaced it with the condiments commonly used in other villages.
Comparatively speaking, pork stewed with vermicelli was much simpler. He rinsed the vermicelli with cool water in advance and waited until the meat was stewed until it was 70% done before putting the vermicelli into the pot. The noodles in the village were all made from home-ground potato flour mixed with edible glue. They were more cooked and delicious than the ones bought.
In the Guanzhong area, one had to eat both hot and cold. The cold dish was simply a cold eggplant. This dish was simple to make. He only needed to cut the eggplant into pieces, turn it over twice in boiling water, and then scoop it out and freeze it in cold water. After it cooled down, he squeezed out the water and tore it into long strips. He mixed it with minced garlic and ate it refreshing and delicious.
In addition, there was a shepherd's purse scrambled egg. It was three hot and one cold dishes, and two of them were meat dishes. There were no New Year's or festivals. It was rare to see such a meal at home in the mountain village.
After she was done, she brought it to the small table and the family sat around the table. He gave the pig trotter to Yaya, and the little girl chewed until her mouth was glistening with oil. She even said," It's even better than pork stewed with vermicelli."”Her stomach was already round, but she still did not give up. Zhang Wenyuan could only forcefully stop her.
After a warm lunch, he left the broken table to his wife and Jiang Xiaomei. Zhang Wenyuan, Yaya, and Ah Huang sat under the eaves to enjoy the cool as if it was the new year.
