- Liu Junhao had plenty of strength, and since he was working for his own family, he naturally went all out.
The freshly dug sweet potato wells cannot be used directly. They need to dry for a few days to remove the moisture. The sweet potatoes in the ground have not been dug out yet, so they are not in a hurry to go down into the well.
The wellhead needs to be vented and is not sealed. Although the sweet potato well is in the corner, most people will not encounter it. But just in case, Professor Zhao cut down a large tent of Chen Ci and placed it on top. With this thing as a shield, I believe no one would approach the well.
Liu Junhao put in a lot of effort to dig two sweet potato wells in one day.
There was no reaction at first, but after dinner, he started to lie on the bed and scream. My whole body ached, especially my two arms, and I didn't even have the strength to raise my hands to drink water.
Helpless, Zhang Qian quickly poured some safflower oil for him and rubbed it.
They kept working until after eleven o'clock before the two of them turned off the lights and went to bed. However, Liu Junhao still couldn't sleep, he didn't dare to turn over at all, and his whole body ached when he moved a little.
The next day Zhang Qian didn¡¯t let him cook, so she got up early and cooked the meal herself. Liu Junhao did a few push-ups in the yard after dinner and slowly stretched his muscles, and then he felt better.
After the sweet potato well was dug, several people began to harvest the sweet potatoes in the backyard. The weather is getting colder and colder now. If there is another heavy snowfall like the past few days, the sweet potatoes will be frozen.
Just as Liu Junhao expected, he dug a lot of sweet potatoes from his two plots of land and piled a large pile in the backyard.
This time the monkey was so happy that he sat on the pile of sweet potatoes and kept squeaking. No one could chase him down. Finally, Liu Junhao got angry and called Xiaopi over. The guy reluctantly jumped up to the tree with a big sweet potato in his arms.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The animals in the yard are usually very noisy, but none of them are not afraid of Xiaopi, and the same is true for this monkey.
At first, it was quite naughty. It came to Xiaopi¡¯s food bowl and tried to steal some pieces of wild boar meat that Liu Junhao had pulled for Xiaopi. But before the monkey could get close, Xiaopi noticed it immediately and roared a warning in a low voice.
The guy was not convinced and picked up a piece of broken tiles and threw them towards the doghouse from a distance.
This is like setting the bag on fire. Xiaopi jumped up from the ground and rushed straight over.
When the monkey saw something was wrong, he immediately flew up the tree. It thought that there would be nothing that Xiaopi could do if he reached a high place, so he jumped on the branch with a little excitement.
Although Xiaopi can¡¯t climb a tree, he is patient. I didn't go anywhere for half the day, I just squatted under the tree and watched. The same thing happened during lunch time.
As a result, Wukong became anxious and kept shouting for help from his master.
Zhang Qian also wanted to temper the wild nature of the monkey, so she pretended not to know it with Liu Junhao's persuasion.
¡°As a result, this guy was hungry for a long time before he was put down, and he became completely honest. If you can't afford to offend, you can't afford to hide? Don't dare to get close to Xiaopi again if nothing happens.
As soon as the sweet potatoes were dug, the courtyard suddenly became empty. Just like last time, there were many earthworms in the ground. Some bold eels were swimming in the pool, constantly feeding.
"What should we plant on this plot of land? How about we plant rapeseed? When the rapeseed blooms in the spring, we can raise local bees." Zhang Qian felt that it was a bit irritating to see the land being idle, so she suggested it.
She has a very good plan and wants to kill two birds with one stone.
¡°It¡¯s too cold now, so it¡¯s too late to plant rapeseed.¡± Before Liu Junhao could speak, Professor Zhao interjected.
"Isn't rape resistant to frost? I heard the day before yesterday that Liu Auntzi's rape can also be grown in spring."
????????????? Liu Junhao felt quite embarrassed to hear this, his wife took it too much for granted. Rapeseed is frost-resistant, but that's only after the leaves grow. In this weather, the seeds will definitely not germinate, and they will turn white when planted in the soil.
As for the rapeseed mentioned by Aunt Six, it is called spring rapeseed. It is planted in spring and harvested in autumn, which is not cost-effective. Generally, farmers will only consider this when their land is deserted and they cannot grow other crops.
It seems that I still need to educate my wife on some basic knowledge about growing crops, otherwise it will be a joke.
After listening to his explanation, Zhang Qian still asked unwillingly: "Then what do we plant on this land? We can't keep it uncultivated, right?"
"Nowyou can't plant anything. If you want to plant, you can plant some onions." Liu Junhao thought for a while, and finally could only shake his head. Although it is nourished by spring water, the weather is too cold to grow ordinary crops through the winter.
Seeing that rapeseed cultivation failed, Zhang Qian thought about drying some sweet potatoes.
Liu Junhao thought she was going to dry the raw sweet potatoes, so he didn¡¯t pay much attention and allowed his wife to do whatever she wanted.
Dried raw sweet potatoes do not require any technical content. Just use a sweet potato grater to rub the washed sweet potatoes into thin slices and dry them in the sun.
Wait for the sweet potatoes to dry and put them directly into sacks for storage. As long as they are not damp, they will not go bad until next summer.
When he was a child, Liu Junhao dried sweet potatoes several times. At that time, not only his family, but almost every family had several sacks of dried sweet potatoes. Every winter and autumn, the white flowers arranged in the wheat field are really beautiful.
When dried raw sweet potatoes are dried outside for a few days, a layer of white powder is attached to them. At this time, whether it is steamed or cooked, it has a unique taste, especially batter.
I haven¡¯t eaten this food for a few years. Now that I think about it, Liu Junhao really misses it. I never thought that when he asked, his wife actually wanted to dry sweet potatoes and said that he wanted to learn from Liu Wunai.
He quickly dismissed Zhang Qian¡¯s idea. Dried sweet potatoes were no joke. It was very troublesome to make. The first step is to slowly cook the sweet potatoes in a pot until they are half cooked, then cut them into slices and dry them in the sun. Some even wait until it is half dry before continuing to steam it in a pot, and then dry it again.
The one made by Liu Wunai is more complicated. You need to stick the sweet potatoes in the pot and boil them until the sweet potato candy comes out. The heat and time are very important in the whole process. If the fire is too high, the water in the pot will dry out and the sweet potatoes will easily burn. If the fire is too low, the sweet potatoes will become boiled. Although you can also make dried sweet potatoes, they won¡¯t taste very good.
But if done well, the dried sweet potatoes will be very elastic, chew like chewing gum, have a long-lasting consistency, and are sweet and delicious.
After hearing his description, Zhang Qian became even more excited, saying that if she wanted to eat good dried sweet potatoes, she had to work hard.
Seeing that his wife was very energetic, Liu Junhao didn't strike again. When the time came, he really couldn't do it anymore, so he was there to help.
But he was quite surprised, why is his wife so energetic? When I asked about it while cooking dinner in the evening, I found out that they were thinking about business.
"This dried sweet potato is delicious and easy to transport. We can definitely sell it on the online store"
Well, when did Zhang Qian soaked in the eyes of money? But this suggestion is indeed good. There are so many sweet potatoes harvested in the fields, and the reason is to find a way to sell some.
When spring comes, due to seasonal reasons, many sweet potatoes have sprouted and gone bad, making them inedible.
Calculating this way, there is only a few months left to eat sweet potatoes Unless he and Professor Zhao are very willing to eat them, they will really not be able to finish them all.
After dinner, Liu Junhao checked online and found that there were quite a few people selling sweet potatoes, and the sales were pretty good.
"Look, just this one. I sold more than 800 pieces in thirty days, which is more than 400 kilograms and more than 3,000 yuan. It's almost as good as the eels we sell." Seeing that her husband wanted to close the website, Zhang Qian quickly pointed at the screen and said.
Liu Junhao then carefully looked through the product pictures. It seemed that the pictures were very general. Are dried sweet potatoes really so easy to sell?
"Our sweet potatoes are crispy and sweet, and the color is good, so they will definitely fetch a high price." Zhang Qian told the truth. Not to mention, just as soon as the sweet potatoes started growing in the ground, those naughty children would always go there if they had nothing to do. Backyard run.
Especially for children, they always bring a big sweet potato from home every time they come, go to the yard, throw the sweet potato in their hand on the stone slab, and then go to the backyard to pick it up.
When Liu Junhao asked about it, he still said plausibly, "Let's change the food."
"Exchanging white sweet potatoes for sweet sweet potatoes, this guy is just like me, not a loser."
Liu Junqi was lazy and didn't want to cut seedlings in the field, so he went to the street and bought a handful of sweet potato seedlings. Who knew that what he bought were white sweet potato seedlings.
This is a local kind of potato in Liujiagou. The sweet potatoes produced are very big, each weighing two or three pounds. But this kind of sweet potato doesn't taste very good. It's not sweet at all when you chew it. It looks like water mixed with sawdust.
Because of the taste problem, few people grow this sweet potato now. Maozi¡¯s father was scolded by his wife for more than half a year because of it.
"Let's keep it simple, shall we? Don't do it according to Liu Wu's method, it's too troublesome." At this point, Liu Junhao has completely agreed with his wife's idea. However, he is a lazy person and always feels that it is not worth the trouble to make sweet potatoes.
"If you want to do it, do it the best," Zhang Qian insisted.
I let you do it, and you will know you are in trouble when the time comes. That pile of sweet potatoes is not a small amount, and it will take at least two people to work on it for a whole day. Liu Junhao knew that although his wife was very motivated, she could not persist for a long time. The last shell boat was a good example.
"What's that smell? Do you smell it?" He sniffed suddenly and smelled a faint burnt smell.
"Where was the plastic sheet touched?" Zhang Qian also smelled the paste and looked around quickly.
There was nothing unusual in the living room, so they rushed out of the room. Everything was fine in the yard, but the smell suddenly increased.
¡°?House! ! "The two of them turned to look at the kitchen door at the same time, and saw the light shining brightly and dimly in the crack of the door.
Could it be that the fire in the pot was not cleaned up when cooking, and now it fell on the ground and ignited?
Although burning firewood for cooking in rural areas is economical and trouble-free, it also has many hidden dangers. Adults usually take care to clean up the firewood around the pot after cooking. Children are careless and don't pay attention to these details at all. They often don't care if firewood falls under the pot. Once the sparks in the stove are filled, they can easily leak to the ground, which can cause a fire.
Liu Junhao remembered that after he finished lighting the fire, he cleaned up the place in front of the stove. Why would there be a problem? He hurriedly opened the door and took a look.
"Zhizhi" Wukong immediately jumped out from under the stove, holding a large sweet potato with a burnt smell in his hand.
