My cold is much better. I will update more today. Dear friends, do you have some pink lotus flowers for us~
=======》《======Dividing line=====》《=======
Since frost had begun to fall, there was no need to get up and stare at the lotus flowers every night. Seeing that the smoke was indeed effective, the brothers of the Zhu family insisted on smoking it for two hours in the middle of the night every night. The villagers in the village also followed suit. Qijia Village is shrouded in smoke every night. e3
Qi Laowu's family dug out all the potato eggs, and when weighed, they were really quite a lot. He was so happy that he took them to the city to sell them and the sales were good. It turns out that this kind of food from the south has been spread to the city. , but no one grows it around, and all the ones brought here are from elsewhere. After all, Chapter 63 is the most delicious pink grown by me! ! It was not as fresh as the ones he carried, and the ones he carried were still big and round, and looked more pleasing to the eye than those with crooked melons and cracked dates, so they sold very well for a while.
It was originally agreed to give the Hehua family 10% of the harvest, but in order to thank Hehua for his continued help, he gave two more baskets. Qi Laowu's daughter-in-law also came to the Hehua family specially and gave Fang a piece of ruler for her. I wanted to make blouses for the winter. I thanked her repeatedly and said that if it weren’t for Zhu’s family’s help, her family would probably be hit by the northwest wind this year.
Mrs. Fang said that everyone is a neighbor, and there is so much politeness. If you don’t help someone when you see them in trouble, you will be punished by God. But the people on the left and right really can’t push it out, so they have to take it easy. The two families The relationship is getting better and better.
When Bonin saw a lot of potato eggs brought into his home, he started to make them and try them. The ones he brought last year looked like golden eggs to Lotus, so he couldn't bear to take them out to eat, so he made them all. Sow the seeds, and now that you have harvested so much, it is naturally time to eat something fresh.
Mrs. Fang felt worried when she looked at the potato eggs. It wasn't that she didn't want her children to eat them, but she had never eaten them herself, so she didn't know how to make them.
Lotus squatted in the yard and was picking potato eggs. She wanted to keep the pink ones she grew in Chapter 63, the most delicious ones! ! Those who make seed cubes in the new year, and the rest are kept for home consumption. When I heard Bonin grinding Fangshi in the house, I couldn't help but smile and said loudly: "Boning, you greedy cat-child caretaker, when you see You want to eat everything, come here and help me pick out the potato eggs, save the seeds for next year, and let you eat the rest."
Lotus picked out those with more buds and kept them for breeding in the coming year. The rest were divided into several baskets according to their sizes, and Zhu Yongxin put them in the cellar for storage. He also kept some small potato eggs in a small pot and brought them into the house. Li said: "Today our family will eat potato eggs, so that Bonin won't be as greedy as anything. When he squatted outside to pick them, his mouth was almost drooling."
"Nonsense, who is greedy? Who is drooling?" Bonin immediately retorted, "I'm not urging you because this is a rare thing and our whole family has never eaten it."
"Okay, if you're not greedy, don't eat it when it's ready." Hehua pinched his bulging cheeks.
Boning rolled his eyes when he heard this and said, "That's not okay. No one has eaten this thing. What if it doesn't taste good? I'll try it first before giving it to my parents."
His words made the whole family laugh. Shuanzi stood on the kang and clapped his hands and said, "Greedy, greedy."
"Have you seen it? I already know you are a greedy cat." Jasmine smiled and took the basin from Hehua's hand. She also pinched Bonin's face, then turned to ask Hehua, "How do you make this?"
Hehua was anxious to try her hand, so she chased Jasmine towards the kitchen, "Sister, I'll do it today, I'll do it..."
"What are you doing? You can't even reach the bottom of the pot without stepping on the bench." Jasmine said without showing any mercy to her, "Just move your mouth and I'll do it."
He Hua thought about it in her mind and said, "Then let's make potato stew with lentils, stir-fry potatoes with chili peppers, fry potato pancakes, and make potato puree for Shuanzi and Brother Liu to eat."
Sure enough, Lotus moved his mouth, and Fang and Jasmine started to work. Fang's knife skills were good, and they only heard the sound of "tuk tuk tuk tuk", and the off-white potato shreds flowed out under the knife. After a while, it was A small pot with a sharp tip was piled up. Lotus scooped two ladles of cold water into it and soaked it for a while. Here she asked Jasmine to cut the potatoes into hob pieces, put some oil into the pot, and put the selected ones into the pot. Put in the lentils and potatoes and stir-fry for a while, add two tablespoons of soy sauce and add water, simmer slowly over low heat, put a basket on top, cut some small potatoes into quarters and steam them on top.
After this is done, set the fire on the opposite side of the stove, take out some of the shredded potatoes, add noodles, salt and other things and mix them together. Add some home-pressed soybean oil to the pot, put a spoonful of the shredded potatoes mixed with noodles and put them on the stove. Pour it into the hot oil, press it twice with the back of a spoon, and it will become a palm-sized pancake. Once the two sides are passed through the oil, it will turn golden color, which makes people feel very appetizing. Put the fried potato pancakes in a basket aside. Throw the shredded dry red peppers and green onions into the pot. Once the aroma of the dried peppers bursts out, quickly take them out with a spoon and add the shredded potatoes. Pour it in and stir-fry until it is about nine-fine cooked. Pour in the shredded red chili peppers that were fried just now and stir-fry briefly before taking them out of the pan.
Fang was cooking here. Lotus had already asked Jasmine to take out all the small steamed potato pieces. The potatoes and lentils continued to stew in the pot. The steamed potatoes were mashed into a paste, and salt and leftovers from the Beginning of Autumn were added. The chicken soup was stirred evenly and then put into the pot to steam and heat briefly. Now all four dishes were out of the pot.
Mrs. Fang put some of each dish in a basket and asked Bo Rong to deliver it to Mrs. Yang. After returning, she started eating at home. Both Zhu Yongxin and Mrs. Fang liked fried potato shreds with peppers and stewed lentils with green beans, and the two of them basically ate it. Most of the time, Jasmine and Bonin were still children at heart. They praised the fried hash browns so much that their hands and mouth were all greasy. Shuanzi showed great enthusiasm for the mashed potatoes with chicken soup and was actually well-behaved. I eat a lot more food than usual. The lotus flowers are also very sweet to eat. Although it is not the first time to eat them, the taste in my mouth is different after growing them through my own efforts.
Zhu Yongxin picked up another piece of potato shreds with his chopsticks, took a mouthful of rice and said, "This stuff is really delicious. No wonder Qi Laowu said he wanted to pick it up in the city, and it was sold out in a short time. Our family will plant more next year." indivual."
"Dad, this is just a fresh thing to eat. It's not really a rarity. It's cheap and easy to grow. We can just grow a few at home for food next year. I'm afraid there will be a lot of people at home next year. Plant this." Hehua is not optimistic about Zhu Yongxin's optimism, "And after all, it is a side dish. No one uses this as a serious food. I kept good seeds in the ground this year, and our family can still be able to eat it next year. It is fundamental to farm more food. And next year I want to try to clean up the few acres of wasteland given to our family. If it can be cleaned well, I can just plant potatoes there, and there will be no left or right. What do you think about hindering your own crops, planting good crops and bad crops, and harvesting whatever you want?"
Zhu Yongxin took another two mouthfuls of rice and asked, "Can the wasteland be cleared up?"
Hehua's words were not just nonsense. She had visited the wasteland a few times before and found that the soil there was more sandy. Neither water nor fertilizer could be retained, and it would have been lost before the crops could absorb it. Lost. But according to her memory, it seems that such sandy land is actually very suitable for growing potatoes if it is irrigated and fertilized properly. Although sandy land has the worst water and fertility retention, the soil is soft and breathable, which is very suitable for the expansion of potato tubers. Moreover, the potatoes produced have smooth skin and are easy to harvest. But these are all theoretical things. Whether they can really work will have to be seen in the actual situation next year.
However, Zhu Yongxin agreed without any hesitation: "Well, you can do whatever you think. The potato eggs left and right were all taken back because of you. The wasteland is also empty and useless. The worst is. It doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad to put in a little more effort.”
Fang rubbed He Hua's cheek and said with some distress: "Whatever you want to do, just ask your father and your eldest brother to do it for you. Otherwise, do everything by yourself. It's the time when your body is growing and you'll get sick from fatigue." But how good is it?"
"Mom, it's okay. Dad didn't grow up doing farm work when he was a child, and he grew up neatly. The more you work, the faster you grow up." He turned around and smiled at Zhu Yongxin and said, "Dad, you said so." Bar?"
Zhu Yongxin did not respond to He Hua's words this time. Instead, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and sighed: "I heard your mother's words. It's not good for a child's body to be tired and energetic."
Seeing that they were on the same side, Hehua had no choice but to nod in agreement. Because he had to go out to smoke smoke to drive away the frost in the middle of the night, so the whole family went to bed early after dinner. When Zhu Yongxin got up in the middle of the night, Hehua was awakened, and he I heard him saying to Mrs. Fang while putting on clothes: "Our family is too poor, so we have so few children to worry about family affairs. I am thinking that after the autumn harvest, I will go to work in the city until I can do it during the New Year." It's been a few months, as the lotus said, go and learn the carpenter's trade. The mountains here are full of wood. If you have to clean up everything in the future, it will save money and be convenient. What do you think?"
After all, Ms. Fang still felt sorry for her husband. After hearing this, she did not respond. Instead, she sighed and said: "You have been tired for most of the year. You still don't take a break even when the farming is idle. Our more than ten acres of land and our The ladies are still counting on you. If you are tired, how can we survive?"
"Am I so delicate? Now that Jasmine is old enough to help you with your work, and the younger ones are all sensible, I can rest assured if I go out to learn something. Besides, it's just a job in a shop. No matter how tired I am, You're not tired from working in the field, are you? Learning a craft is a life-long dependence." Zhu Yongxin seemed to have made up his mind, "Besides, the boss will have to take the child examination in two years, and Boning has also reached the age of enlightenment. Do you have the heart to let them Which of the two brothers doesn't study, will he spend his whole life digging in the dirt like me?"
Hearing Zhu Yongxin talk about her son, Mrs. Fang was immediately speechless. She sighed quietly and said, "If you say that, I have nothing else to say. What can I say now? I'll finish the autumn harvest first." talk later"
