    Although he didn't want to say it, the people in the village would also estimate it, and they were all thinking in their minds about how much money he could earn.

    Although Liu Junhao has been busy with less than an acre of land in the yard in the past six months, he can't help but know that he has the skills to grow watermelons on the acacia trees, and all of them are sweet and sweet.  Those jujube trees also bear bigger and more fruit than other people's trees. I'm afraid selling the jujubes alone would cost several thousand yuan, let alone the eels, which are a huge source of money.

    "However, the people in the village are jealous, but they don't have any inappropriate thoughts.  This is mainly because Liu Junhao is really a good person and doesn't care about things.  Take the fruits and vegetables in the yard for example. Anyone in the village can pick and eat them at will. Who hasn¡¯t picked vegetables from their yard in summer?

    There are also those sweet dates. Fortunately, the adults know that they have to be sold for money, so they only try a few fresh ones. However, the naughty children from various families spend time there beating dates and eating them almost every day. Liu Junhao doesn¡¯t say anything, and there are computers.  ¡­

    While chatting, everyone started talking about the wild boar raised by Er Mazi, and everyone asked when the wild boar would come out of the pen?  Because the wild boar cubs were afraid of strangers, the couple built a new pig pen in the backyard and generally kept strangers away. No one knew what the wild boar looked like.

    "No matter what the cage is, as long as it is released in May next year, I will be thankful to God," Er Mazi said with a sad face. He now regrets that he was too impulsive and did not listen to others' advice.

    The two wild boars tormented the couple quite a lot, not to mention the hundreds of yuan they spent on medical expenses at the beginning. Now when they are half-grown, they are very picky eaters, eating bran every meal, with a little bit of chaff mixed in.  Then he started to hum and keep his mouth shut and refused to eat.

    "The beast couldn't be beaten and couldn't understand it, so the couple had no choice but to go to the town every few days to buy a big bag of bran.

    After a few months, the benefits have not yet been seen. However, he bought a few large bags of bran. A bag of bran costs 60 yuan. He spent four to five hundred just buying bran.

    ¡°It can grow meat by eating bran, but wild boars are different from domestic pigs. They don¡¯t gain fat by just eating. They are long and thin, and they don¡¯t grow two ounces per pound as people told him.¡±  But so far, this wild boar has been fed for several months and has only weighed 60 to 70 pounds. It is still half a pile and will not be enough to eat during the Chinese New Year.

    Liu Junhao chatted for a while and just wanted to go back, but was stopped by Er Mazi again.  He was told to go over in the afternoon and help dig the sweet potato well.

    When Professor Zhao was building a house, Er Mazi also went over to help, remembering Liu Junhao's abnormal digging ability, like a small excavator.  This time when he was digging a sweet potato well at home, the first thing he thought of was Liu Junhao. He was going to talk to him after lunch, but he didn't expect to meet him here.

    Since there was nothing else to do in the afternoon, Liu Junhao readily agreed. After lunch, he went to Er Mazi¡¯s house and saw a lot of sweet potatoes, both white and foreign, piled in the hood of his house.

    Liu Junhao casually took a sweet potato, washed the dirt in the bucket, stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing.

    There are two types of sweet potatoes here, one is white sweet potato, which is very big, weighing more than a pound each, but it tastes a bit clumsy and not very sweet.  The other one is the sweet potato he is eating now.  This sweet potato has been stored for a while, so it tastes crispy and sweet. When you eat it, a chill goes down your throat and into your stomach, which is very comfortable.

    Probably the reason why Liu Junhao has been eating sweet potatoes in the past few years is that he is quite disgusted with this kind of thing and has never grown it at home.

    But a few days ago, when my furry kid came home to play on the computer, he took half a piece of sweet potato bun in his hand.  Seeing that it was rare, he couldn't help but break off a little and taste it. It was sour and sweet and felt delicious.  So he broke off more than half of the steamed bun in Mao Boy's hand and sat down by the computer to satisfy his craving.

    Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally ate a lot. After eating two in a row, he stopped and asked where the sweet potato well should be.

    To save trouble, Er Mazi chose not to dig the sweet potato well anywhere else, but planned to dig it directly in the corner of his yard.

    The sweet potato wells in Liujiagou are generally dug very shallow, because they dare not dig deep. If they are slightly deeper, water may seep in. If the well is too damp, the sweet potatoes will easily rot.

    "But people have many ways to do it. If digging downwards doesn't work, then pile them upwards.  After digging the sweet potato well, pile soil on the well and turn the sweet potato well into a large platform like a small bunker, so that more sweet potatoes can be stored.

    Er Mazi¡¯s family planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year and harvested one or two thousand catties, so the sweet potato well was dug very big.

    After choosing the address, the two men started digging alternately with small heads. In a short time, they dug to a depth of more than two meters. When Liu Junhao saw that Er Mazi was digging too slowly, Liu Junhao asked him to pull soil on top while he put on his own excavator.  Straw Hat squatted in the well and dug it open with his little head.

    The space in the well was small and airtight, so his body soon became hot and dry.  ?In order to prevent the wet mud from staining his clothes, he simply took off his shirt and started digging with his shirt off.  Liu Junhao's hands and feet were indeed much faster than Er Mazi's. After a while, there were two big piles of soil in the yard. It wasn't until Er Mazi said it was almost done that Liu Junhao grabbed the rope and climbed up like a monkey.

    When he stopped working for a long time, he was sweating. He ate another cold sweet potato to feel completely clear.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:??????? You don¡¯t just put the sweet potatoes in the well immediately, you also need to let it dry for a few days to let the inside of the well dry out.

    Er Mazi saw that Liu Junhao seemed to like eating sweet potatoes, so when he left, he asked his mother-in-law to get a snakeskin bag for him to take back and eat.

    Liu Junhao didn¡¯t refuse, he would just remember this favor from now on.  Without pricking the mouth of the snakeskin bag, he just grabbed the snakeskin bag and threw it over his shoulder, holding it with one hand and walked towards home.  This bag of sweet potatoes only weighs seventy or eighty pounds, so it is very easy to carry.

    In the evening, he gave Professor Zhao a small half basket of sweet potatoes and asked them to cut them into pieces and put them in a pot to cook.

    Then I went back to the house and started cooking my own food. I haven¡¯t eaten this food for a few years and now I miss it.  I'm going to eat cold sweet potato shreds tonight, and I'll throw two into the rice porridge later.

    After Liu Junhao finished thinking, he neatly took a white sweet potato and cut it into strips as thick as his little finger, then threw it into cold water and rinsed it.  Generally, white sweet potatoes are used to make cold-style sweet potato shreds. The main reason is that they contain more sweet potato tendons than other sweet potatoes. Although they taste a bit awkward when eaten raw, they can be used after half-cooking them in boiling water to remove the sweet potato tendons.  Take out the grated ginger, add vinegar and salt, then mix it with sesame oil and eat it, it will definitely taste delicious.

    After adjusting it several times with chopsticks, Liu Junhao added a piece and put it in his mouth. It tasted crispy and raw, with no sweet potato tendons at all. It tasted a bit like potatoes, but it was more refreshing than potatoes, and it also had a hint of saltiness.  Sweet and unique taste, it is a good side dish.

    ??Although sweet potatoes are very sweet when eaten raw, they have no bones and muscles. After being cut into strips and placed in boiling water, they are completely boiled and cannot be picked up at all.

    At this time, there was a "gurgling" sound in the big pot, and the sweet potato rice porridge was almost ready.  So, he took the steamed buns, picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up some tender ginger and sweet potato shreds, and then drank two mouthfuls of the sweet sweet potato rice porridge He let go of his stomach and ate hard, but he accidentally ate too much, and his stomach kept feeling heavy in the middle of the night.  He screamed, but he had no choice but to put on thick clothes and get up to find Shanlihong for appetizer.

    It should be said that the weather this year is obviously much colder than usual. It is only a few days into November of the lunar calendar, and people are wearing thick winter clothes.

    It doesn¡¯t matter just because the weather is cold. It has been foggy for a week. When they wake up in the morning, they can¡¯t see each other clearly even though they are five or six meters apart.

    Zhang Qian was afraid that something might happen to her children if they went to school in such a heavy fog, so she discussed it with Teacher Wang and asked them to review their homework at home in the morning and wait until the fog completely cleared before coming back to class.

    Naturally, it is impossible to talk about basking in the sun in such foggy weather. Although he cannot go out, Liu Junhao will still find fun for himself.

    He has been at home these days, playing computer games, playing games, playing with rabbits and dogs, and roasting sweet potatoes under the stove to eat. He is living a leisurely life.

    Just after dinner in the morning, he took out the big sweet potato roasted under the stove, knocked off the charred ash on it, and started to gnaw it. The yellow, hot, and fragrant sweet potato flesh made people salivate just by looking at it.  .

    While he was enjoying his meal, he heard Zhang Qian calling him urgently outside the yard, asking him if he had seen his Qiuqiu. Qiuqiu seemed to have disappeared.

    Since Zhang Qian got this water duck, she has treated it like a treasure.  Whenever possible, Qiuqiu is usually brought to class, even every time she goes to school. Zhang Qian walks in front, and the water duck follows behind.
