Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wukong was not a stable master at all. He stayed there for less than two minutes before screaming at his master.  ("""

    Liu Junhao knew he couldn¡¯t give this guy a good look, so he simply ignored him and allowed him to cause trouble.

    As a result, when this guy saw that the owner was not paying attention, he jumped on the car and secretly put his claws into the hole in the snakeskin bag, then took out a sweet potato and gnawed it hard.

    It was unfortunate that they came because the crusher broke down yesterday and is currently being repaired.  There are many dough machines on the street, but this one is the only one with the grinder.  Now that they have arrived, everyone has no choice but to wait.  \'

    The host was nice enough to invite them in for tea, saying that he had already hired someone to repair the problem and that it would be repaired in half an hour.

    I was chatting in the house when I suddenly heard a voice coming from outside: "Whose sweet potatoes are these outside?"

    "What's wrong with mine?" Liu Junhao turned to see him standing in front of his car, thinking that Wukong had caused some trouble again and hurriedly ran out.

    "Did you grow yours yourself?" The old man was a little surprised when he saw a young man answering. He thought that someone who could grow such good sweet potatoes must be an old farmer.

    "Yes." Liu Junhao nodded and didn't know what he wanted to say.

    "Young man, it's not easy. I just broke off a few to check your sweet potatoes. The flesh is very fine and easy to make flour. I estimate that at least three ounces of flour can be made from one pound of sweet potatoes, and they are all fine flour."

    As the saying goes, "One pound of wheat has eight ounces of flour, one pound of sweet potato has two ounces of flour." The flour extraction rate of wheat is very high. One pound of wheat can make more than eight ounces of flour.  Sweet potatoes are different. Not only do you need to remove the water, but you also need to dig out the powder residue.  Therefore, if you can make 2 taels out of a pound of sweet potatoes and grind them into flour, it¡¯s already pretty good.  According to the old man's words, Liu Junhao's sweet potatoes are definitely high-yielding if he can make three ounces of fine flour.  Of course, if you make coarse powder, the output will be higher and you can produce up to four taels.  \'

    Then he pointed directly at the car not far away and said: "The sweet potatoes from that place are not good. Even though their sweet potatoes are quite big, they are all white sweet potatoes. Not only is the flour less, but the surface is thick and there is no vermicelli.  tasty."

    That cart of sweet potatoes belonged to Liu Junqi¡¯s family. He shrank his head when he heard that and didn¡¯t dare to approach the car.

    Who is this old man? If you praise other people¡¯s sweet potatoes, just praise them. Why do you want to use me as a negative example?  Liu Junqi was very hurt now and was grumbling in his heart: When he goes back, tell a few people not to let them go to the village, otherwise his mother-in-law will definitely make a fuss when she hears about it.

    Liu Junhao¡¯s sweet potatoes were initially put in snakeskin bags and not taken out, so everyone didn¡¯t pay much attention to them. Now when people heard about them, they all came forward and broke off half of them to taste.  The real owner didn't say anything, but the monkey became angry and pointed at the crowd with his paws, jumping up and down as if trying to drive them away.  ("""" Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the guy started tugging on Liu Junhao's clothes and yelling non-stop.

    After tasting it, everyone was full of praise.  The sweet potatoes were so crunchy that they tasted sweet in their mouths. The group of people began to think about planting some sweet potato seedlings in Liu Junhao's family's fields next spring.

    Er Mazi also had this idea at first, but he quickly came around to it.  It seems that the sweet potato seedlings are the same as those found at his house, but the sweet potatoes grown from the seedlings are different. This is a problem with the land.  It seems that it is better to learn more knowledge and have skills, but it is different. No matter what seeds are in people's hands, they can grow good crops.  I have never seen how Liu Junhao managed it without spreading fertilizer from beginning to end, let alone spraying pesticides.

    But the sweet potato in front of me is really unbelievable.

    Is this the "mulberry fish pond biosphere" that Professor Zhao said?  A new word came to Er Mazi's mind.  When he was chatting with Professor Zhao, he heard someone say that the feces excreted by the eels and loaches in the ditch are the best fertilizer and can be used to grow crops in the soil.  As for the bags of fertilizer they often buy, it can easily cause soil compaction, and the crops will not taste as good as those grown with soil manure when they mature.

    It seems that after returning home, we still need to soak some more soil and manure so that it can be used in the fields next spring.  Er Mazi had already thought a lot for a while.

    After chatting for a long time, everyone realized that the old man in front of them was the owner of the house, and it was his son who entered the house to debug the machine.  After the machine was debugged, everyone began to get busy, tying buckets, carrying buckets, and lifting bamboo baskets.

    Although they don¡¯t pull many sweet potatoes, it¡¯s a waste of time to make sweet potato flour.  This old-fashioned crusher is very ineffective. After crushing and mincing it once, there are still many half-cut sweet potato heads left.  I had no choice but to wait for the third time to beat the sweet potatoes into a thick batter.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out the grating, put it on the car and then spread a layer of plastic sheeting.  Pour the sweet potato starch directly onto the side of the plastic cloth and it will not leak.

    Liu Junhao actually agreed to the old man¡¯s words on the third visit. His sweet potato flour is obviously much more delicate than others.

    Especially after half an hour of parking, milky white liquid leaked out of the car.  Although other people's sweet potato flour also seeps out, it's not as much.

    This is too conspicuousRight?  It seems that the spring water should be used less in the future, otherwise people in the village will definitely notice the strangeness if they go there for a long time.  What should I do if someone asks me for tips on growing sweet potatoes in the future?  Because of raising eels, many people said that he was hiding something secretly.

    "It really didn't work suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.  If someone really asked about Tai Sui, he would say that it was Tai Sui's fault that the sweet potato fields were irrigated by Tai Sui water.

    The more Liu Junhao thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea. Tai Sui became more and more miraculous as people spread it, and now it has become a panacea that can cure all kinds of diseases.

    There should be some effect on sweet potatoes watered with its water, right?

    "It's better to grow crops with soil and manure. I haven't seen such good rice flour in more than 20 years." The old man sighed when the sweet potatoes were finished and gathered around again.

    "Have you seen it before?" Liu Junhao was stunned.

    "Of course, old man, I used to make vermicelli for the production team. That year when we were cleaning the pond, we spread all the pond mud that we had saved for more than ten years and spread it on the ground to grow sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were bigger than yours"

    It turns out that people have made vermicelli from their ancestors. Liu Junhao sighed and secretly rejoiced: With the precedent, his sweet potatoes are no longer so rare.

    "Young man, if you still have a lot of sweet potatoes, sell some to me?" Finally, the old man asked again.

    ¡°There are only a few hundred kilograms left to keep for the New Year.¡± Liu Junhao could only shake his head with regret.

    A few days ago, I was worried about what to do if I couldn¡¯t finish the sweet potatoes, but now they have become a hot commodity.

    By lunch time, there were still three sweet potatoes that had not been harvested.  Seeing that it was too late to rush back for dinner, everyone decided to have a bowl of beef soup at Lao Guo's place and continue their work after dinner.

    Liu Junhao was afraid that he would be late and Lao Guo was closing the stall, so he went over early to say hello.  Of course, he also called Zhang Qian and asked his wife to go to the village to talk about it so that the villagers wouldn't worry about it.  \'

    It would be easier for Zhang Qian to tell the students directly when school is over that they don¡¯t have to run to the village at all.

    ?????????? It¡¯s very satisfying for a busy husband to drink Huhu¡¯s beef soup for a long time.  Previously, if Liu Junhao was two minutes late, Lao Guo would have prepared to close the stall. This soup was freshly made for several people and the portion was particularly generous.  Liu Junhao ordered three bowls of beef soup, one each for Monkey and Doudou. Of course, the two of them could only eat from disposable lunch boxes.

    Seeing everyone sitting at the table eating, Wukong squatted next to Liu Junhao with chopsticks to count.  Unfortunately, it is too small and cannot reach the lunch box when squatting on the bench.  This guy screamed anxiously and when the owner ignored him, he jumped up and wanted to jump on the table.

    Liu Junhao quickly stopped Wukong and put the lunch box on the ground.  Unexpectedly, it pretended to be clean at this time, turned around and put the lunch box on the small stool.

    After dinner, the guy went to the wooden basin to wash his paws.  Everyone looked at it and marveled at it, saying that the monkey was very hygienic.

    Liu Junhao is also quite proud to say that this is Zhang Qian¡¯s credit.  When the monkey first came to his house, he was dirty and infested with lice.

    Zhang Qian couldn't stand it, so she asked Liu Junhao to take it into a wooden basin and take a bath.  At first, Wukong was quite reluctant. As soon as he touched the water, he screamed so much that he almost scratched his paw.

    After washing it several times, this guy actually knew it was clean and followed Liu Junhao every time he took a shower.  Applying soap on the body and scrubbing ointment on the head, the monkey learned the lesson properly.

    "Zhizhi" Wukong washed his paws and stretched them out to his master.

    Liu Junhao was stunned for a moment and then remembered that this guy wanted a prize.  In order to make the monkey develop the habit of washing hands frequently, Zhang Qian would give it some melon seeds, peanuts, etc. as rewards every time after washing its hands. Now Wukong has formed a conditioned reflex.  "No" he smiled wryly and waved his hand.

    After a recent period of training, the monkey naturally understood this gesture, but was still unwilling to do so. He put his paws in his trouser pockets and searched them again before giving up after finding nothing.

    "I said Xiaohao, your monkey is going to become a spirit." Lao Guo sighed repeatedly after seeing it. "Last time I heard someone said that Xiaopi hunted a big wild boar, I didn't believe it. Now I believe it. You are indeed a master of training animals."  Hands on. Any tips? Tell me."

    ¡°Haha, the secret is to treat animals as friends.¡± Liu Junhao said with a smile.

    "You kid, if you don't want to say it, then you have to make it so mysterious." Lao Guo didn't believe anything he said.  When a person and a dog are friends, isn¡¯t that ¡°dog friends¡±?

    Liu Junhao told the truth about the animals in the yard. He and Zhang Qian had never fought once and always treated each other honestly.  Take Wukong for example. This guy is usually very noisy, either breaking the kitchen bowls or chasing chickens and ducks all over the yard. Sometimes people are so angry that they grit their teeth and want to beat him to feel better.

    But Liu Junhao only tried to scare him and never actually took action. He mainly relied on Zhang Qian's "persuasion and education".

    Of course, this guy is also sensible and will act based on his master's face.  For example, in the morning, when it saw Liu Junhao's expression, it immediately became obedient.

      In fact, animals¡¯ senses are far more sensitive than humans and they can easily tell who is really friendly to them.  And this kind of friendliness is the bridge between humans and animals.

    A few days ago, he just read online that scientists had done experiments and found that puppies who were often played with by their owners during their childhood were smarter and more sensible than those who were not accompanied by anyone.

    Liu Junhao didn¡¯t say anything more when he saw that Lao Guo didn¡¯t believe him.

    After everyone had eaten, they continued to work.

    There are only three families in the afternoon, so it is much faster.  It was all completed by two o'clock

    I was afraid that the red powder would get dusty, so the car was tightly wrapped in plastic sheeting along the way.

    When they got home, Professor Zhao and Mr. Wang had already set up a wooden shelf as mentioned in advance. Several layers of fine window screens were hung under the shelf. On the ground was a filter covered with plastic cloth. Next, they poured the sweet potato powder into the window screen and filtered it.  The vermicelli made by filtering out the powder residue inside will be strong.  The reason why the vermicelli made by machines outside tastes bad to us is because the vermicelli residue is not filtered out.

    People in Liujiagou are planning to make vermicelli at home, so of course they have to be careful.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????? Just like the old man¡¯s guess, his sweet potato flour didn¡¯t filter out much powder residue. He only rinsed it twice with water and it was completely clean without leaving any tail.

    What is left in the filter is flour, which will condense into lumps after settling overnight.  At that time, you only need to drain the water on top and you can directly scoop out the noodles.  Noodles are a good thing, whether they are used to make pancakes, noodles, jelly, etc.

    In the afternoon, when Zhang Qian came back from school, she saw the window screen swaying, which was very interesting and she had to go up to enjoy it.  Liu Junhao had no choice but to step aside according to his wife's wishes and tell her the basics of the movements.  It can be seen that Zhang Qian's hands-on ability has improved significantly during this period. It's really like rolling up the window screen.

    The remaining work after making the noodles is to dry them out.  This job is simple and does not require Liu Junhao to worry about anything. He just spreads a clean plastic sheet on the roof.

    Of course, in order to prevent the birds from pecking, Doudou has to be sent up to guard it.

    This guy is very interested in catching birds and spares no effort in his work.

    Liu Junhao weighed the noodles after they were dried in the sun and weighed more than 250 kilograms of refined noodles.  It seems that the old man's vision is very accurate. He can know the flour yield by casually breaking open a few sweet potatoes and taking a look.

    He doesn¡¯t plan to turn all the noodles into vermicelli, but plans to keep some of them to make jelly.  Zhang Qian was convinced that after looking up the steps for making jelly on the Internet, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and started.

    In fact, the process of making jelly is very simple. Add an appropriate amount of water to the noodles, put it in a pot, bring it to a boil over high heat, and then simmer over low heat for ten or twenty minutes.  You need to stir continuously during the process until it becomes a light gray translucent gelatin.

    My wife¡¯s first attempt was an instant success. Looking at the crystal clear jelly, she was extremely excited. She immediately called a few of her best friends and told them, and then took photos and uploaded them to the Internet.

    When Zhang Qian made the jelly, it might be as big as a washbasin, so it would take two people three or four days to finish it.  Liu Junhao sent half of the jelly to Professor Zhao so that they could have a taste.

    The jelly made from home-made sweet potatoes is really good. It should be said that Zhang Qian¡¯s craftsmanship is good.  Cut the jelly into thin slices and then add bean paste, chili, onion, ginger, etc. and stir-fry with sesame oil.

    It is so tender and smooth that you can smack your lips after eating it.
