Fields of Gold

How many times have I told you? What I absorb is that part of you humans can't absorb. Does not affect the effect of the medicinal product at all. You have to believe it! Old man Yu's medicine, poor soul! Take me to town someday, Tong Ren Tang has a lot of good medicine!] Little Tianshi begins bargaining.

“OK! Next time I go to town, I will definitely abduct you into the colleagues' hall and let you smoke enough!!” Yu Xiaograss found another big sweet potato, holding his strength against it and spreading a small patch of celestial stone on his mouth. I don't know when I'll be in town.

Liu's work was never slippery and she bent over and dug potatoes. Hiddenly wondered: In previous years, this sandy land, the biggest potato, was not a big slap. This year, the rain was not good. Instead, the potato looked like a blow, one big race at a time.

I thought the little girl just dug it up was pretty good, who knows how many hoes to go down, and it wasn't much worse than that. Some even exceed the head of the King of Sweet Potatoes.

“Mother! This year's potatoes are generally much bigger than last year's. Production is expected to increase considerably over last year!” Yu Xiaolian also found it quite incredible. The ground is the same. The potatoes are also last year's seeds. Why are the potatoes produced this year like competitions, one bigger than the other?

After digging twice, Li Shi sat down and wiped her sweat. She looked at the potato head from her field and squeezed the meat in her face with a smile: “Brother and sister, this year the potato must be very productive. Do you think Mama will leave some for us to roast? ”

In the past, when the potatoes did not grow well, the potatoes produced were dried into thin slices and ground into powder with other coarse grains for one winter. Sweet potato powder cakes with sweet flavors and chewy heads taste much better than crudely pulled noodles and bean-spicy bean noodles.

There are only a few small potatoes left each year and occasionally a pot is cooked to taste soft and sweet. Too bad you can't eat too much, it's easy to get acid in your stomach. Grilled sweet potatoes, that smells even better. Unfortunately, the Zhang family is too wasted eating it because some of the barbecued skin must be thrown away.

“Auntie, you've been resting for a long time. Get up and dig some potatoes. If we can't finish digging so many potatoes today, my grandmother will be angry. Don't say we can't even eat sweet potato peel! ”

Yu Xiaograss couldn't see this lazy and lazy old lady. She and Xiaolian had dug a bunch of them. She couldn't sit up without digging two, so people couldn't bear to bury her with words!

Li Shi picked up a small potato from the ground, wiped off the soil from the potato with sleeves that couldn't see what color, his big mouth snapped off the skin, his big mouth snapped, while still not forgetting to excuse himself:

“Five acres! I'm sure I can dig it up today, and I won't have to wait any longer. Don't tell me this year's potatoes are bigger and sweeter than ever before. ”

Yu Xiaolian glanced at her and knew that every year the Potato Li family could not be expected. She looked up at the twin sisters and couldn't help but say: "Grass, you can do it later, don't get tired. ”

Liu Shi straightened her waist and gently brushed off the sweat drops in the forehead corner. She also cared: “Grass, you've never worked in agriculture, so sit on the ground and play. Just do it with your sister. ”

In previous life, the grass was also used to farming. Although the family had never grown sweet potatoes, there was not much skill in excavating potatoes, so we started soon. Her body, after four or five months of nourishment, and her workouts in the mountains and the sea, was no longer the remaining grass that had softened her legs after two steps. She smiled at her mother and did not delay her life at all.

“Yo! Second sister-in-law! What fertilizer your home has this year, the potatoes are bigger than one. Look at this head, it shouldn't weigh 78 pounds!” Yujiang's home * * Potatoes were finished, and when he came to help, he had to look at a soccer-sized potato on the ground and be stunned.

Liu Shi shook her head and smiled: “Fertilizer, as in previous years, is the manure of her own house. Perhaps it's been a good year, with a better harvest than in previous years. ”

Yujiang automatically and spontaneously picked up the head that Li Shi threw on the floor, skillfully digging up the potatoes, and said in his mouth: “How is my harvest similar to last year's? Definitely not for that reason. Sister-in-law, don't hide the secret formula! ”

Yu Xiaolian knew that Uncle San was a joke, so he answered: "Uncle San, what secret formula can we keep from our own family? This year's fertilizer was applied by me and my mother, just like last year. We don't know why the yield is so high. ”

You don't know. I know! Yu Xiaograss lowered her head and worked as she said: "Mother said to plant the fields or eat by heaven. Perhaps God sees our family well, so give us more food. ”

“Hey! I didn't expect our weed to follow your uncle, I love jokes. Oh, my God! But also, for Christ's sake, you mothers are always underfed, so I can give you more food, too. ”

Yujiang has long been unhappy with Uncle Er's stepchildren. As a junior, or another roof, naturally it is difficult to say anything, only help poor sister-in-law and children with heavy work, try to help as much as possible.

“This acre of your family has more than 2,000 pounds, not to mention a higher yield of spring potatoes! Our family, half of you, laughed!” Yu Jiang envied the work in his hand. Indeed, he is a good worker, a man who is faster than all three little grasshoppers.

With Uncle Sanzo's free and efficient labor, Yu Dashan and Yuhai came back in the afternoon to help, it was not dark, the potatoes on the five acres were all up and transported home in a unicycle.

Looking at the mountains of potatoes in the yard, the Zhang family, pulling their faces all day, smiled. By estimation, this year's potato acre production actually reached 3,000 kg, more than double that of previous years.

In the face of the great harvest, the Zhang family finally loosened its mouth, leaving some small cellars behind to steam or cook in the winter. The rest, cut into pieces, grind into potato powder when needed while the sun is good in the early winter.

“Thanks to the blessings of the emperor today," Yu old man looked at the pile of potatoes, his hands had a sense of gratification without panic, “When I was young, even the bark root had to be eaten during the famine, and the dirt was in my stomach when I was in a hurry, many people were starving to death! ”

The old man stopped for a moment, seemingly trapped in memories of the past, and went on to say: "There was also a famine after the potatoes were shipped from the sea. High yields, storage resistant potatoes and potato flour, and even potato vines, helped us survive a terrible three-year famine, lest we starve to death. ”

Zhang nodded. “Yeah! Potatoes are really good. However, two meals a day of potato and papaya flour drummed people's stomachs, and their stomachs were sour and hearty, and they farted. It was very painful. It would be nice to have high-yielding, heartless food! ”

“Don't lose it! Some eat, but I don't like it!” The old man glanced at the women and continued to watch them slice the potatoes.

Even sickle and hoe iron chips are not enough. And the slicing speed is also slow. When will this 10,000-kilo potato be cut?

Yu Xiaograss remembered the chips used to cut potatoes from his neighbor's house in his past life. It was a single-sided blade, fixed in the middle of the wooden board, holding a large potato to the blade and pressing it down hard, the sweet potatoes were cut into pieces and not easy to start.

Little Grass mumbled with her old man for a while. The next day, when he came back from town, he brought back a few blades that met his requirements. After a heartbeat of the old man in the afternoon, a few potatoes won.

Yu Xiaocao made a few thick gloves with clothes he couldn't wear at home, which ensured that his hands were not cut by a razor.

Liu Shi put on the broken gloves, set up the wooden plate of the clam, took a large potato, pressed hard on it, a thin and moderate piece of potato chip fell off.

Zhang Shi also tried it. It's hard to exaggerate: “This potato is really convenient to use. Cut the potatoes quickly and save effort. That's great!”

Li Shi, while fresh, is also rarely diligent for a day or two, cutting out hundreds of kilos of sweet potatoes.

With potato seeds, it was difficult to cut out more than 10,000 pounds of potatoes in a month. The women and men in the family joined the team and cut them in less than 10 days.

In the middle came a series of doors to the village neighbor, saw Yujia's potato seeds, also asked Yuhai, and went to the town blacksmith to beat a few blades, to allow Yuhai time to make a slab. Who doesn't have many relatives in the village? Soon, the potato seeds spread out around Dongshan Village.

In the future, every season of the potato harvest, someone will say something about the Yujia family in Dongshan fishing village.

Yu Xiaoxue did not expect that he would make Yu Jia famous in nearby villages in order to facilitate a small pirated invention of his family. She was wondering how to make delicious food out of potato flour.

Combining the meagre experience of her previous life with her own wild thoughts, she developed a number of eating methods based on the principle of coarse grain finishing.

For example, there are several approaches to pasta noodles alone.

The easiest thing to do is to rub the well-rubbed potato dough in a boiling pan with a large rub (that is, a silk wiper, which is what Grass Central begged Dad to get from a blacksmith in town). Such noodles are thicker and rough, similar to children's fingers.

But to say a word of conscience, it's a big, dark bowl, no halogen, no salt, no toppings when you drink it, you'll be hungry soon.

The best thing to eat is halogenated noodles. Sieve out the finest potato noodles with the noodles, warm the water and rub the noodles into groups, wipe the noodles out with the finest rubbing pan and fall into the open water. The firewood under the stove burns in a crackling manner. The noodles should be finished as soon as possible, otherwise the noodles will melt in the open water.

This is an energetic job, usually done when her father is home. Even if Yu Hai Li is strong, he is tired and sweaty every time. A dozen other people, young and old, need to cook a large pot of noodles every time to be able to eat. As a result, the clothes that come to the aftermath of winter will also be wet with sweat.

However, the cooked noodles are crystal bright, slippery and chewy to eat, and served with clam soup, chives and foam, which is an addiction, a classic way to eat ground melon noodles.

You can also rub the noodles together and put them on the case board. Add water to the pan and cook. You can eat them as soon as they are cooked. Sweet and delicious. It can also be made with fresh soup for halogenated noodles, but it's better to wipe the noodles directly into boiled noodles in boiling water for a slippery, slightly worse taste.

There is also a crude combination of eating methods. It is to wrap the papaya dough with white dough and make the hand dough. After cutting it, black and white are distinct. It tastes very strong on the white side and has the lubrication and finesse of the papaya dough. It is accompanied by fresh halogenated soup according to its taste. It is also a delicious dish on the table. However, the old lady is sitting in town, unless the uncles come back, and the scourge is not easily allowed to come to light.

Apart from that, potato noodles can be branded, cakes can be patched, nested heads can be steamed, vegetarian buns can be covered in dumplings, etc. With this hand of grass to make potato flour, the rest of the winter rarely goes out to buy food.
