Song Tan's Notes

Song Tan quickly stood up:
"Okay, let's see whose land it is, and I'll tell them."

Coincidentally, this piece of barren land happens to belong to Aunt Lianhua's family.

"You mean the one at the foot of the mountain?" Aunt Lianhua thought for a while—that field hadn't been planted for 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 serve that place?It would be nice to be able to grow a la carte.

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

It's a bit embarrassing to say:
"I wanted to ask, Tan Tan, if you want to land that piece of land this year..."

Although her land is at the foot of the mountain, there is another piece of land in the middle, and it is not connected with the land under Song Tan's contract, so I don't have the nerve to ask.

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

As she spoke, she picked up the basket quickly: "Master Wang, let's go, we're going to pick perilla now."

In the corner, Zhang Yanping, who was trying to reduce his presence, let out a silent sigh of relief.

……

The big sun after nine o'clock is really a bit drying.

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

"That... the perilla can't escape, why don't you pick it at night?"

However, Song Tan went to the field to have a look, and found that there were quite a lot of them—the field was not big, about two or three minutes.But this purple perilla is scattered here and there, and even sporadic spots occupy most of the field.

If this sauce is made once, it will be enough for the workers to eat for a year!

Song Tan was ecstatic.

If we don't pay close attention to this, Master Qian and Wang Xiaoshun will leave later, and the labor force of the two will be reduced for no reason, that won't work!

So she smiled very considerately and kindly: "It's okay, Master Wang, let's not pick too much today, just pick two baskets first, and cook a pot first when we go back."

Picking perilla leaves is not troublesome, you only need to pick the young leaves above the pole, and it is really quick to pick.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Xiaoshun realized that there were really not many baskets. Who made Boss Song so generous?
Picking up the basket at this moment: "Okay, let's pick two baskets first."

Standing in the grass, the two of them tugged at the leaves of the perilla leaves with their fingers "duo duo duo", the movements were quick and even.

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 there are only half of the basket left.The two of them will pick it up faster!
He picked up speed again in an instant.

However, after a while, I was still the only one picking this basket... No!

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

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

Wang Xiaoshun: ...

By ten o'clock, the two baskets had been stuffed to the brim, overwhelmed and overwhelmed.It's heavy to lift, and it's not easy to lift your legs.

Wang Xiaoshun was still a little silent.

Because he only picked one empty basket, and the rest was pressed and filled, all of which belonged to Song Tan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing admiration in his eyes:
"It's still you who work in the fields every day, and your movements are nimble and fast...I'm far behind."

Song Tan smiled but said nothing.

Turning her head, she looked at the bald perilla stalk she had just picked, and asked casually:
"Brother Xiaoshun, will these basil grow again?"

"It will definitely be long."

Wang Xiaoshun blurted out, and incidentally taught Song Tan:

"My master told me when he taught this before. Time flies, and this time is talking about perilla. The combination of this word means that perilla is very long, and it grows fast!"

He said casually: "But it's only two days in August. By September, it's time to start flowering and grow seeds here. Once the ears are heading, its leaves can only be used for medicine, and can't be eaten anymore."

What?Can it still be used medicinally?
Song Tan turned his head, his eyes were burning.

This purple and green plant deserves the surname Song!

And it's the end of August!
Song Tan thought about it in his heart, and discussed it with Ulan when he got home: "Mom, ask Aunt Zhang if they are still free?"

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

Originally, I wanted to dry it slowly, but since the time is so tight, let's do it first!
After picking it tonight, she will go to feed some spiritual energy at night, work a little harder, maybe there will be another batch of good taste in early September, and I will keep it for making perilla sauce at home!

If it doesn't work, it won't be a loss if you sell it to Dr. Guo for medicinal purposes!
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 got for their initiative.

Now I got off the tricycle and came to the kitchen with two baskets excitedly: "Master, look at these perilla leaves, they are so tender! It must be delicious for making rice at noon."

"That's fine."

Master Qian understands the differences in tastes from person to person.Some people are not used to eating it, he really is not used to it at all, it has nothing to do with whether it is good or not.

For example, the coriander in Song Tan's house, those who like it will grab it, and those who don't like it will not buy any.

At this moment, he glanced at the two baskets of leaves that Wang Xiaoshun was carrying with great difficulty. He didn't take it seriously: "Look at you, why can't you lift it? Hurry up, find two big pots, soak them in salt water first, so as not to get on your head." There are bugs or something."

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

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

"You silly boy! Why is the basket pressed so firmly? How much do you have to do this time?!"

Wang Xiaoshun is also innocent: "I went to pick it with Boss Xiao Song. She moved too fast and I couldn't keep up. I can't say no to picking it..."

So, two baskets of perilla leaves were soaked in 4 large pots.After a bag of salt was sprinkled into the water, Master Qian wiped off his sweat, and then thankfully said:
"Fortunately, it's in an air-conditioned room."

……

At this moment, Song Tan was also asking: "Seventh Cousin, can you make that perilla sauce? If you can, I will fertilize Aunt Lianhua's field these two days, so that the perilla sauce will be better. Changchang, let's make some more delicious ones."

"Are you so fat?" Cousin Seven took a look at her, then knocked the rice spoon calmly: "I definitely will."

The method of cooking sauce in the world is always the same. Although he has not survived it, can he still do it?
This is to find the old money.

Wu Lan heard it, and thought: Tan Tan's mouth is really tight, it's been more than half a year, and I don't know what formula she uses!
But that's okay, no one can take it away.

She turned her head and discussed with Aunt Lianhua who was washing vegetables: "Lianhua, Tantan wants to fertilize your field, why don't you ask someone to weed the weeds in autumn, and plant some vegetables along the way?"

"Take it and sell it for yourself to eat, it's fine."

However, Aunt Lianhua pursed her lips and smiled, then shook her head again: "Forget it."

"Sister, I eat here with my mother-in-law every day. It's been a long time since the house started fire."

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

What she didn't say was that if she tidied up the field beautifully and her child and man came back during the Chinese New Year, could she insist on not giving money, and stop others from picking vegetables in her field?
I would rather leave them empty than cheap them.

Regarding basil, we eat barbecue here, or use this to heat the tea pot before frying tea.

I see that many friends use perilla for fish, but I don’t have it here.I always use Huoxiang here, Huoxiang is my favorite for fish!
Green tomatoes (I know they are poisonous, but we have been eating them since we were young, but we don’t eat them every day) Stir-fried chilli fish cubes with green tomatoes, especially for rice! (Do not imitate, at your own risk)

Good afternoon, this is from yesterday.
