"It's okay, I just feel a little sleepy after eating." People tend to feel sleepy after eating. This is not her problem alone. Otherwise, why would there be such a thing as a "lunch break"!
So with such an excuse, Zhou Yi would not doubt anything.
"Daughter-in-law, you go back and rest first! I will do the rest." Zhou Yi reached out and rubbed Song Xi's hair, saying lovingly.
Song Xi nodded and went back to her room to rest. As soon as she entered the room, she immediately went to the book section of the supermarket to get a planting book and read it. It said there were many types of vegetables that could be planted in December.
However, early spring cucumbers, early spring zucchini, early spring beans, and early spring tomatoes are grown in greenhouses. There is currently no way to build vegetable greenhouses in this place.
So Song Xi took coriander, chrysanthemum, four-season lettuce, four-season leek, four-season coriander, seaweed moss and sweet wheat.
In addition, we also picked several kinds of wild vegetables, such as purslane, dandelion, golden cauliflower, shepherd's purse, plantain, and noodle vegetables.
There are 12,000 purslane seeds in a pack, and Song Xi took one pack.
There are three thousand dandelion seeds in a pack, and Song Xi took four packs.
There are one thousand, two hundred broccoli seeds in a pack, and Song Xi took ten packs.
There are three thousand shepherd's purse seeds in a pack, and Song Xi took four packs.
There are 10,000 noodle seeds in a pack, but Song Xi only took one pack.
The number of seeds on the plantain seed packaging bag was not written, only the number of grams. Song Xi took five bags directly.
After Song Xi took the seeds, she unpacked them and replaced them with transparent packaging bags. Fearing that she would forget the varieties, she wrote the respective varieties on the packaging bags with an oil-based pen.
After that, she put the picked seeds somewhere within easy reach, left the supermarket, and lay down to rest.
Not long after she closed her eyes, Song Xi felt a big hand making trouble on her face.
She knew Zhou Yi loved her, but she didn't expect that he would love her so much that she couldn't put it down, which made her think it was a bit exaggerated.
"Brother Yi, don't make trouble, I'm really sleepy." Song Xi grabbed Zhou Yi's hand, leaned her cheek against his hand, and pressed his palm under her face.
"I won't bother you, just sleep peacefully! I'll go out after a while." Zhou Yi looked at her with a smile, he really couldn't get enough of her.
He felt that he had exhausted all the luck in his life before he met Song Xi.
If he hesitates when the matchmaker comes to see him, he will just pass by Song Xi.
So now he feels very happy.
In the afternoon, Xu Yunying delivered the processed snails. Seeing the potato chips drying in the yard, she was a little curious, "Xiao Xi, do the potato chips taste good if they are dried like this?"
"It's delicious and very chewy! It's not a problem to store the potato slices dried like this for several years." Song Xi poured the snails into the wooden basin and poured a bucket of well water in.
When Song Xi said that it would not be a problem to store potato chips for several years, Xu Yunying suddenly remembered the drought a few years ago.
At that time, all the leaves and grass roots were eaten by people. If there were potato chips to eat, so many people would not starve to death.
Xu Yunying immediately asked, "Xiao Xi, how do you make these potato chips? Can you just cut them into slices and dry them?"
"Just clean it, peel it and slice it, blanch it in water, dry it in the sun and store it in a sealed container. Soak the potato slices in warm water for three hours before eating, and then you can make them." Song Xi shared her experience without hesitation.
.
If fresh potatoes are stored for a long time, they will sprout, become moldy and become inedible, and they will become unpalatable after they become shriveled. Although the weight of sun-dried potato slices is different from that of fresh potatoes, they can be stored for a longer period of time.
Song Xi also understood that Xu Yunying also wanted to prepare for a rainy day. After all, farming depends entirely on the weather. If the weather is good, the harvest will be higher, but if the weather is bad, there will be no harvest.
And if you are fully prepared, you don’t have to worry about bad weather.
No matter what time it is, farmers are the most difficult.
Because it is either dry or flooded, it is simply impossible to really have smooth weather.
There is the rainy season in spring and summer, and it rains continuously in winter. The life of farmers is really difficult.
"Xiao Xi, thank you!" Xu Yunying thanked her. Scholars are well-informed and know a lot.
"Aunt Yunying, I should thank you. From now on, I will send you fifty pounds of snails every morning."
Fifty cents a day, which is fifteen yuan a month, plus the five yuan paid on the ninth of every month, Xu Yunying's family can have an income of twenty yuan a month, which is almost catching up with the income of urban workers.
And Xu Yunying thought the same way. When she saw the hope, her whole person became sunny, "Xiao Xi, where does your classmate live? Do you want me to help you deliver the snails? This way you don't have to be in such a hurry.
Already."
"Thank you very much for Aunt Yunying's kindness, but my classmates don't need others to deliver them to them. They are doing purchasing work and need to travel around. If they are near us, they will come and get it themselves."
Song Xi was deeply moved by Xu Yunying's kindness.
But she had no choice but to refuse, otherwise how could she change her classmates?
After Xu Yunying returned, Song Xi cleaned the snails again, fished them out and put them into a brand new bamboo basket. He went to the stove and boiled hot water to blanch all the snails, and then began to prepare various seasonings.
On the dining table in the kitchen, there are a bunch of condiment dishes, each filled with the condiments that need to be used.
After Song Xi had everything prepared, he started to light a fire and cook the pot. After the bottom of the pot was hot, he put a large spoonful of oil into the pot and put the ingredients in and stir-fried until fragrant.
Stir-fry a small lump of ginger slices, chopped garlic, star anise, cinnamon bark, bay leaves, grass fruits, dried chili peppers, bean paste, and hot pot base ingredients into red oil together.
Pour about ten kilograms of snails in, stir-fry for a while, add salt, chicken essence, oil, light soy sauce, soy sauce, and cooking wine to taste and stir-fry evenly.
Add a can of beer and a bowl of water, cover the pot and continue simmering.
Although the large iron pots used in rural areas are not small, they cannot cook fifty kilograms of snails at once.
So I can only cook it one pot at a time. Anyway, the snails cook quickly and can be ready in 20 minutes.
Fifty pounds of snails can be cooked in less than an hour and a half.
After the snails came out of the pot, Song Xi put the snails on a clean dustpan, drained the soup, and then poured them into a glass jar with a spoon.
There is no soup or seasoning, just genuine snails.
When doing business, you must not be short-changed, otherwise how can you continue to do business?
She would rather add one tael more than lose a few grams and ruin her brand.
After filling a can, Song Xi weighed it with an electronic scale in the supermarket. The cans together weighed one kilogram and two taels, so there was no problem with the weight.
From now on, she will do it every day. After filling up the batch of glass jars that Wen Qiang bought for her, she can sell them to Wen Qiang.
