Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

Steam directly in the pot.

"Second Brother, I've just returned?"

I miss you so much!

A little girl sat up from the kang (a heated brick bed). She looked about three or four years old, with slightly yellow hair and a thin, small face.

"Niu Niu, are you awake?"

"Your second brother went to buy you something delicious. Wait here, the pumpkin will be steamed and you can eat it."

Sun Tiezhu picked up Niu Niu.

Niu Niu is the youngest of the three children in the Sun family, and the only girl. She is only three and a half years old and her name is Sun Xiaohong. She is very spoiled at home.

Her nickname is Niu Niu.

"By the way, Mom, Ping An's pumpkin harvest is huge, there are too many, Cai Quanwu can't keep an eye on them all by himself, we need to find someone to help watch them temporarily."

"Brother Ping An said he'd pay five yuan a month, can I go?"

While steaming the pumpkin, Sun Tiezhu and Wang Dahua discussed it.

"It's so fragrant!"

“It smells so good!”

"Second brother, is that pumpkin being steamed in the pot?"

Niu Niu suddenly cried out.

Sun Tiezhu then noticed that the pumpkin was not yet fully steamed, but it was already emitting a strong aroma, which made him swallow hard.

"Wan Ping'an is really capable!"

"His tomatoes cost 50 cents each, which is ridiculously expensive, but people are scrambling to buy them, afraid they won't be able to get them."

"Five cents, that's more than ten pounds of ordinary tomatoes at the market."

"The pumpkins he grows haven't been sold yet, so I don't know the price, but just based on the aroma, they certainly won't be cheap."

Wang Dahua was deeply moved.

"Tiezhu, work hard with Ping An, he'll definitely make something of himself in the future."

"As long as he's willing to take you in, you'll definitely have a good life."

Wang Dahua has long hair, but her knowledge is by no means short.

"Why does it smell so good?"

"It smells like pumpkin."

A man who looked about 70% like Sun Tiezhu entered the room, but was more mature than him; it was his older brother, Sun Tiegang, who had just finished get off work.

Followed by.

Another man walked in.

He is Sun Laogen, the head of the Sun family.

Sun Tiezhu then recounted everything that had happened that day.

"It's your own business, you can decide for yourself."

"Remember what your mother said: if you're going to do something, then work hard with Ping An. He's a very good person, and you won't go wrong by working with him."

Sun Laogen is also very open-minded.

The pumpkin was steamed while the five people were talking.

The moment the lid is lifted, the intense aroma reaches its peak, instantly soothing the body and mind.

"Brother, this tastes even better than meat!"

Niu Niu was the most impatient. She couldn't wait to grab a small piece, took a small bite, and burned her lips, but she still smiled brightly.

Yan Fugui's home.

Xu Damao's family.

The families who helped Wan Ping'an harvest pumpkins ate steamed pumpkin for dinner.

The courtyard was filled with the rich aroma of pumpkin.

Yan family.

"This pumpkin is so delicious."

"With this pumpkin, we won't need to buy meat for the New Year."

"Just eat one, and save the rest for the Chinese New Year."

Yan Fugui started scheming again.

Jia family.

Jia Zhangshi wanted to eat meat.

Jia Gensheng bought half a pound of meat and stir-fried it with mushrooms.

It's freshly cooked.

The aroma of pumpkins wafted from the courtyard.

"Isn't it just a pumpkin?"

"What's so great about it?"

"You eat pumpkin, I'll eat meat. Meat tastes much better than pumpkin."

Smelling the aroma of steamed pumpkin, Jia Zhangshi swallowed hard, picked up a piece of meat with a hint of resentment, put it in her mouth, and chewed it vigorously!

"What happened?"

"It seems like pumpkin tastes better than meat?"

"It must be my imagination. It was Wan Ping'an who made me angry!"

Jia Zhangshi put down her chopsticks.

This time, she really had no appetite.

Jia Gensheng and Jia Dongxu dared not touch their chopsticks. What was wrong with Jia Zhangshi?

If they're not even eating meat anymore, there must be a serious problem!

"Mom, are you okay?"

Jia Dongxu asked nervously.

He didn't want to ask, but Jia Gensheng was kicking him under the table and kept giving him meaningful glances, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask.

"I want to eat pumpkin!"

Jia Zhangshi replied.

Finished!

Jia Dongxu felt dizzy.

Pumpkin belongs to Wan Ping'an. If Jia Zhangshi wants to eat pumpkin, will she let him steal it again?

Wan Ping'an is too ruthless; he's worried he might lose his life!

backyard.

The deaf old lady smelled the pumpkin, and her face darkened!

"It's Wan Ping'an again!"

"How can you grow such fragrant pumpkins?"

"It must be a very unique technique. If I had this technique, even if I'm old, I could still have a strong young man serve me!"

"Pah, you're thinking dirty thoughts!"

"This little brat is getting too big for his britches. If we let him grow any bigger, we'll definitely lose control of him. We have to take action as soon as possible!"

A murderous glint flashed in the deaf old woman's eyes!

Yi Zhonghai's family.

"Sigh, it's Wan Ping'an again?"

"He first grew tomatoes that cost five cents each, and then he grew such fragrant pumpkins. When he sells them, they certainly won't be cheaper than tomatoes."

"He makes money much more easily than I do."

"Damn it, he's just a farmer, how come he earns more money than me?"

Yi Zhonghai is envious!

I'm jealous!

"He must have a unique skill."

"If I could get my hands on that technology, I'd go farming and definitely earn more than him!"
