Chapter 1823: Chapter 1662: Picking Sesa Leaves Again
Yang Zhengxi furiously punched his pillow in the dormitory.
“Why! Did I! Co to this sumr camp!”
He was extrely frustrated, feeling completely out of sorts.
So he simply got off the bed, grabbed a little Panpan bread, dipped it in a jar of fernted tofu, and ate it. Sohow, life seed a bit more aningful with this sweet-salty combination.
Several heads poked out from the beds in the dorm, filled with indignation: “Dipping Panpan in fernted tofu, don’t you think that’s a cri?”
Soone even swallowed hard: “If you had promised
a bite, I’d have stolen a bun for you from the canteen.”
Once in the isolated sumr camp, all of Xiaoyang’s good qualities disappeared, and he now guarded his fernted tofu like a treasure, lanting:
“You bunch of beasts!”
At first, he really did share his good stuff with his roommates, trusting Qiaoqiao’s brother, who promised to send him things regularly.
So naive Xiaoyang, full of enthusiasm, shared his goodies for everyone in the dorm to taste.
Good grief, that very night soone knelt by his bed calling him godfather, saying they were so hungry they couldn’t bear it, begging for more…
One bite after another, from godfather to dad.
The dignity of these young n, as worthless as could be, disappeared along with each empty can.
Now, Qiaoqiao’s weekly packages couldn’t even satisfy their cravings.
This fernted tofu was Yang Zhengxi’s last bit of glory he’d saved for himself.
He angrily declared, “I don’t need a bun, if there’s no bread, I can lick the jar.”
In any case, he couldn’t let these people taste his treasure any longer.
But now, looking at his phone, he couldn’t help but feel miserable again:
“They’re about to eat sesa leaf paste noodles, spicy noodles, chicken soup noodles!”
The roommates crawled out of bed and ca over:
“How do you know? Is there a live broadcast we can catch now? Quick, let’s watch it together, maybe we can snag sothing good?”
Yang Zhengxi said nothing.
He wanted to say that Qiaoqiao didn’t plan to sell any sesa leaves today. This thing had to be processed before eating, and since he couldn’t even use a small electric stove in the dorm, he couldn’t taste it, so he kept quiet.
He just wanted to see how Qiaoqiao would make these people drool like fools.
Only then could he feel sowhat appeased.
anwhile, in Yunqiao Village, under the four or five o’clock sun in the afternoon, Qiaoqiao, as usual, donned a hat and an old shirt, tied a simple large cloth bag around his waist, and enthusiastically entered the sesa field.
This year, they planted 5 acres of sesa, and Seventh Uncle estimated that with so many family mbers and relatives, they would need about 200 pounds of sesa oil, which would take up two acres.
The rest would go to Boss Chang—after all, the allure of money had sowhat corrupted the Song Family, and now, whenever there was sothing good, they always thought of planting more so that Boss Chang’s restaurant wouldn’t run empty.
And the sesa leaves from these 5 acres were purely a bonus.
Of course, Qiaoqiao wasn’t doing this alone; even if picking leaves wasn’t hard work, there were still several acres to cover!
That’s why there were other workers.
Following Seventh Uncle’s advice, it didn’t matter if they picked slowly, as long as they didn’t damage the sesa plants.
The task wasn’t difficult, and although June’s weather was hot, the temperature wasn’t too bad, and four or five o’clock was just when farrs started working.
The new permanent employees this year, dressed in sun-proof clothing and hats, honestly joined in the sesa field.
No matter if the sun-proof clothing was pink or black, everyone had a large white cloth bag on their waist.
Self-taught Sister, now settled in the countryside, no longer harbored city dreams, just looked at her large pouch:
“Can’t we use a basket?”
Qiaoqiao replied, “Sure, but sesa leaves take up space, and you’d have to send the basket back often. If you press the leaves down, they’ll bounce back up and easily fall out.”
So there’s a technique to it.
Gastric Bypass Brother looked and joked with her, “It’s inconvenient with a basket, you see how the sesa is planted; you have to be careful walking through, and the basket could easily damage the sesa stalks.”
Everyone cheerfully got to work, and although they sweated a bit, they didn’t mind because they were in good health.
Yun Duo set up the phone nearby: “Qiaoqiao, I’m starting the livestream now!”
Qiaoqiao nodded and turned towards the phone: “Hey kids, today we’re picking sesa leaves for everyone to see!”
“Last year, we barely planted any sesa, and we couldn’t just pick the leaves freely because it might affect production, so there were only a few als and they were gone.”
