Chapter 725 725 Two Baskets of Solid

Chapter 725 725. Two solid baskets

Song Tan quickly stood up:

"Okay, let's see who owns the land, and I'll tell someone."

It just so happened that this wasteland happened to belong to Aunt Lianhua's family.

"You mean the field at the foot of the mountain?" Aunt Lianhua thought for a while - that field hasn't been planted in many years.

Her husband is not here, her children are not here, and she has a paralyzed mother-in-law. How can she have time to take care of her? It would be nice to be able to grow some vegetables.

At this moment, he waved his hand: "You can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, I felt a little embarrassed:

"I originally wanted to ask, Tantan, if you want to take over that piece of land when you take over the land this year..."

Although her land was at the foot of the mountain, there was another area in the middle that was not connected to Song Tan's land, so she didn't have the nerve to ask.

Song Tan laughed loudly: "Don't worry, if there is a chance next year, I will definitely take it!"

She said and quickly picked up the basket: "Master Wang, let's go, let's go pick perilla now."

In the corner, Zhang Yanping, who tried hard to reduce his presence, breathed a silent sigh of relief.

…

The sun at around nine o'clock was really scorching.

Wang Xiaoshun was sweating profusely while wearing a straw hat, while he looked at Song Tan carefully:

"Well... the perilla can't escape, why don't we pick it again at night?"

However, Song Tan went to the field to take a look and found that there were quite a lot of them - the field was not big, about two or three cents. But these perillas were scattered here and there, and they actually took up most of the field.

If we make this sauce once, it will be enough to feed the workers for a year!

Song Tan was ecstatic.

If we don't hold on tight, Master Qian and Wang Xiaoshun will be gone later, leaving them with nothing to work for. That won't work!

Then she smiled very considerately and kindly: "It's okay, Master Wang, we won't pick too much today, just pick two baskets first, and just boil a pot first when we get back."

Picking perilla leaves is not troublesome. You only need to pick the young leaves above the pole. It is really quick to pick.

When Wang Xiaoshun thought about it, two baskets were indeed not much. Who made Boss Song so generous?

At this moment, he picked up the basket and said, "Okay, let's pick two baskets first."

The two of them stood in the grass, tugging at the leaves of perilla with their fingers, moving quickly and evenly.

Soon, Wang Xiaoshun saw that Song Tan's basket was full.

Look at yourself again - there is only one third of the basket, is there something wrong?

But it’s really hot, since only half of the basket is left. It will be faster to pick them both!

He speeded up again instantly.

However, after a while, I was still the only one picking the basket... That's not right!

He raised his head again, only to find that Song Tan's basket had now become more than half of the basket.

And after she quickly picked a handful of perilla leaves, she pressed her palm directly into the basket and then put the leaves on it.

Wang Xiaoshun:......

By ten o'clock, the two baskets were filled to the brim, being pressed again and again. It's so heavy to carry that it's hard to lift your legs.

Wang Xiaoshun was still a little silent.

Because he only picked one basket, and pressed and filled the rest, all of which were done by Song Tan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing admiration in his eyes:

"You are still working in the fields every day, and your movements are nimble and fast...I am far behind."

Song Tan smiled and said nothing.

She turned her head and looked at the bald perilla stem she had just picked, and asked casually:

"Brother Xiaoshun, will these perillas grow again?"

"It will definitely grow."

Wang Xiaoshun blurted out and taught Song Tan:

"My master told me when he was teaching this before, time flies, and this time flies refers to perilla. The words match so well, which means that perilla is very long and grows very fast!"

He said casually: "But it's only two days in August. By September, it will be sprouting flowers and seeds. Once it sprouts, its leaves can only be used for medicinal purposes and cannot be eaten anymore."

What? Can it also be used medicinally?

Song Tan turned around, his eyes suddenly burning.

This purple and green plant deserves the surname Song!

And it’s already the end of August!

Song Tan thought about it in her mind and discussed it with Ulan when she got home: "Mom, please ask Aunt Zhang if they are still free?"

"If you have time, go to Aunt Lianhua's field this afternoon and pick all the perillas, and the masters on both sides will make sauce together."

I originally wanted to dry it slowly in a long and steady stream, but since time is so tight, I’d better do it first!

After picking it tonight, she will feed some spiritual energy at night. If she is a little more diligent, maybe there will be another delicious crop in early September, which she can keep to make perilla sauce at home!

If it doesn’t work, it wouldn’t be a loss to sell it to Dr. Xiao Guo as a medicinal product!

Song Tan took out a small notebook and solemnly wrote down the plants to be planted next year.

…

Wang Xiaoshun didn't know what they had gained from their initiative.

Now I got off the tricycle and excitedly carried two baskets to the kitchen: "Master, look at these perilla leaves, they are so tender! They will definitely be delicious when making rice dumplings for lunch."

"Then forget it."

Master Qian is very understanding of the differences in taste between people. Some people can't get used to it, but they really can't get used to it at all. It has nothing to do with whether it tastes good or not.

For example, people who like the coriander from Song Tan's family will rush to snatch it up, but those who don't like it won't buy any of it.

At this moment, he looked at the two baskets of leaves that Wang Xiaoshun was carrying with difficulty. He didn't take it seriously: "Look, why can't you still lift it? Hurry up, find two big basins, soak them with salt water first, so as not to worry about it. There are bugs and stuff.”

Wang Xiaoshun worked hard and didn't say a word.

However, when he pressed the perilla leaves in the basket into the water one by one, Master Qian couldn't sit still.

"You silly boy! How can the basket be pressed so firmly? How many can be done at once?!"

Wang Xiaoshun was also innocent: "I went to pick with Boss Xiao Song. She moved too fast and I couldn't keep up. I couldn't say I didn't want to pick anymore..."

So, two baskets of perilla leaves were soaked in four large basins. After the bags of salt were sprinkled into the water, Master Qian wiped his sweat and said thankfully:

"Fortunately, it's in the air-conditioned room."

...

At this moment, Song Tan was also asking: "Seventh cousin, can you make that basil sauce? If you can, I'll add some fertilizer to Aunt Lianhua's field these two days to let her basil grow well, and we can make a better crop."

"Your fertilizer?" Seventh cousin glanced at her and tapped the rice spoon calmly: "I definitely can."

The methods of making sauce in the world are all the same. Although he hasn't made it, can he not make it?

I'll go find Lao Qian now.

Wu Lan heard it and thought: Tan Tan is really tight-lipped. It's been more than half a year, and I don't know what recipe she uses!

But it's good this way, no one can take it away.

She turned around and discussed with Aunt Lianhua who was washing vegetables: "Lianhua, Tantan wants to fertilize your land. Why don't you hire someone to weed it in the fall and plant some vegetables?"

"Sell it and eat it yourself, it's fine."

However, Aunt Lianhua smiled and shook her head: "Forget it."

"Sister, I eat here with my mother-in-law every day. It's been a long time since we cooked at home."

"Besides, we get paid well and don't have time to clean up."

What she didn't say was that if she cleaned up the field beautifully and her children and husband came back for the New Year, could she insist on not paying them and stop them from picking vegetables from her field?

I would rather leave it barren than let them get away with it.

As for Perilla, we use this when we eat barbecue here or heat the tea pot before making tea.

I see many friends use Perilla to cook fish, but I don't have it here. I use Patchouli here, Patchouli is my favorite for cooking fish!

Green tomatoes (I know they are poisonous but we have been eating them since we were young, just not every day) Stir-fried green tomatoes with peppers and fish cubes, especially good with rice! (Please do not imitate, at your own risk)

Good afternoon, this is yesterday.
