Chapter 766: Harvest is a trouble?
Zhou Guo looked at the dishes on the table with shining eyes, all of which were her favorites, and looked at the old man.
The old man understood and picked up a piece of braised pork and ate it.
Zhou Guo waited for him to pick up the food, then quickly picked up a large piece of braised pork and ate it in one bite.
I sighed after taking a bite of delicious food. Meat is still delicious. The watery soup every day makes me unable to stand.
He ate more than ten pieces in one breath, and also picked up a large piece of braised fish and braised beef. He didn't even have time to eat a bite of rice.
Everyone at the table was stunned.
Zhou Su picked up some food for her and said, "Sister, eat slowly. No one is going to snatch it from you."
As he spoke, he gave her half of the fish on the plate, piled half of the braised pork on the plate in front of her, and took a big chopstick of braised beef, and soon the plate was full of space.
Mrs. Li couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she said, "Okay, okay, don't give your sister any more. Leave some on her plate. Her plate is full. There's more on the stove. She can eat as much as she wants."
Zhou Mai was so distressed, "How long has it been since you last had meat? Song County is so poor that you can't even buy meat?"
Zhou Guo was talking without even raising his head. He had no time to pay attention to anyone and was concentrating on eating. If he ate in a less presentable manner, it would be almost the same as when he was fleeing.
Zhou Mi said, "What about Song County? Let Big Brother go there from now on. There's no need to stay there for so long. You won't even have enough to eat."
Zhou Gu quickly expressed his opinion, "Yes, yes, I will go. I'm not afraid. I can eat anything."
Li said, "It's not a matter of whether she can eat or not. She was just making a fuss about eating with the refugees on the farm. She ate three meals a day with them. She hasn't had a single oily meal in so many days. With no oil in her stomach, she's naturally greedy."
Zhou Guo nodded and said, "It's delicious. The white rice is delicious, the meat is delicious, everything is delicious."
Zhou Su felt sorry for her, so he picked up some food for her and carefully picked out the fish bones. He had never seen her so hungry before. She must have been starving. He still remembered clearly the feeling of being hungry. He wished he could even eat some dirt.
Everyone at the table just watched the two of them, one eating while the other served them food.
Zhou Guo ate two large bowls of rice and countless dishes in one breath before he raised his head from the bowl and said with satisfaction, "It's delicious. I finally had a good meal."
The old man said, "Didn't you say that Quanzi would secretly bring you food at night? Didn't you eat it?"
Zhou Guo took a sip of the chicken soup and said, "It's edible, but it's not cooked well. It's not as delicious as the one at home, and it doesn't have much oil."
How could they cook? They just wanted to have meat to eat. Having lived through hardship, they were reluctant to eat it. The food was only slightly better than that in the farm. If there were seven or eight slices of meat in a bowl of food, it was considered a good meal.
Li said, "The food at home can't be compared to the food at home. There is always meat. All kinds of meat are on the table. If the chickens at home were slower to hatch, they wouldn't be as good as what you eat."
A chicken is eaten every few days, and most of the time it is used to make soup.
Zhou Guo pulled a chicken leg and said, "I used to complain that this chicken stewed in soup was not tasty. How could it not be tasty? It's extremely delicious."
After the meal, Zhou Guo ate half of the dishes on the table. The others waited until she had finished eating before they just grabbed their bowls and ate their fill.
Zhou Guo was full and sat in a chair burping contentedly.
The old man asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to clear the salty and bitter land, divert water and dig wells? Who did you give this job to?"
He searched around and found that no one nowadays would do this.
Zhou Guo pinched another piece of dessert and nibbled on it. He smiled and said, "I found a talent who knows this. Although he may be overqualified, as long as he manages these lands, the benefits will be worth it. Now he is working hard every day as if he had drunk chicken blood."
Plus with an endless supply of wine and meat, he felt full of energy every day.
The old man nodded, sat down and said, "You're right. If you can hand over this kind of thing, hand it over. As the helmsman, if you still have to do these little things, you will die young sooner or later."
Zhou Guo hummed and stopped talking. She was very tired these days. It would be nice to have some free time.
In the following days, she traveled to several places. In addition to Song County, the farm in Yuanhua County, which was far away from Song County and had started construction in the summer, is now almost completed.
Qian Duo had nothing to do now, so she sent him over there, with about thirty brothers, and asked him to get the farm there started. Before winter, they had to ferment the first batch of fertilizer, and the farm would be put into use in the spring of next year.
People from other counties and cities who wanted to sell manure would come to this farm to avoid having to walk a long way.
Qian Duo was originally growing mushrooms on the two mountains next door, and he was very happy when he got this job. However, growing mushrooms was too troublesome, and he knew nothing about it, so he was afraid of messing it up.
It is better to take care of the farm and make compost. He has done it before. Although it smells a bit, it is better than growing fungi. If this thing is not grown well and dies, a year's hard work will be wasted.
But composting is different, it can be repeated indefinitely.
Seeing his happy expression, Zhou Guo asked with a smile, "Is growing fungi hard work?"
Qian Duo said solemnly, "It's not hard work, it's difficult. I don't know anything, and these things are precious. I can't even sleep well at night, for fear that it will snow heavily when I wake up, and if I don't take precautions, these little gold pieces will freeze to death."
Zhou Guo laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, I'm really sorry for that. You should just go over there and keep an eye on it. Also, check out the progress of the irrigation project in Song County. Several counties have already started construction. Write to me and tell me when you're done."
Qian Duo replied with a smile that he could do anything as long as he was not allowed to watch bacteria.
It is difficult to let people who know nothing do professional work.
The next day, Zhou Guo went to the next mountain and everything was fine. She had been growing mushrooms for several years and almost 90% of the strains were alive.
The growth is very good, and the harvest next year will definitely be good.
After feeling happy, I sighed, wondering how I could sell so many mushrooms.
They will not go to Beijing again in the short term, let alone go south. These mushrooms will just stay in this area in the north, and it is unknown whether they can be sold out.
I can't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that a good harvest would become a trouble."
Mrs. Li on the side said unhappily, "How can a good harvest be a worry? Are you just too full?"
Zhou Guo laughed and said, "Aren't you worried about how to sell these things?"
Li said, "Why worry about this? We had so much last year, but almost all of them were sold out before the spring. Besides, there are still many restaurants, and they want a lot. These two mountains can just last from the New Year to the beginning of spring. Otherwise, the shops will be empty if they don't sell them by then."
