Old days (45)

In fact, since the hot day, sweet potatoes can be eaten continuously. Although they are not very big, they are not considered the harvest season. However, under the roots, the sweet potatoes are no longer small.

Some children are greedy!

Not everyone is like the children of the Lin family, who can eat enough. These little kids who are not full have the idea of ​​sweet potatoes. At night, they are in groups and secretly dig up sweet potatoes to eat.

How could this happen? The sweet potatoes are from the entire factory. If these kids are asked to steal this way, they will dare to eat and take most of them without waiting for the harvest.

What does the security department do for? It's very thoughtful.

Miao Jiafu asked the early security department to hide people, waiting to catch people. They are all half-year-old boys, one by one, they also have their own sweet potatoes grown at their doorstep. Why don’t you eat their own ones and steal the public at night? Such an incident is not enough!

Of course, they are all children in the factory and their own children. If they catch them, they will not be punished. You will still be the sweet potatoes you dug out, and we will not confiscate them. The key is that they are not easy to deal with if they are confiscated. Who will give them to whom? Right? So, they can only be punished. Someone said that when your sweet potatoes are collected, they will be returned ten times more.

These sweet potatoes can be harvested in half a month, and they will be so hungry that they can't wait.

The adults were so angry that they would beat them up when they caught them. They held a broom and chased them all over the factory.

Lin Yutong's sweet potatoes were harvested earlier. Because Lin Yutong secretly watered them, the sweet potatoes grew big. They couldn't do it without digging them out because the basket could not hold them up. They all seemed to have to break free from the soil, which was the very ostentatious attitude. Many people say that Lin Yutong: You can't always water them for the sake of growing them! Such sweet potatoes are not delicious.

Lin Yutong just called out: Yes, yes! It’s better not to grow it.

But in the eyes of Duanyang, if it is delicious or not, the yield is enough.

I planted five sweet potatoes in this long basket. Each sweet potato was cut out, and six or seven sweet potatoes were buried under it. It is normal for a single sweet potato to be more than two pounds, and it looks like a small three pounds, and they all look like a child's head. So this can't be called long anymore, and they can't be put in it. According to this yield, it is very normal for a basket to produce more than one hundred pounds of sweet potatoes.

But when you work like sweet potatoes, you will be able to work slowly in the yard when you close the door at night. When you dig out the sweet potatoes, you have to place them under the eaves under the corridors in the yard, and ask them to dry and ventilate. Only after you finish, you can enter the cellar.

In fact, Lin Yutong is more willing to process this thing into sweet potato noodles, which is more resistant to sweet potatoes.

Therefore, we need to wash the sweet potatoes and cut them into slices, expose them to the sun under the scorching sun, and then dry them, find a stone mill for grinding grain, grind the dried sweet potatoes into powder, and store them in a bag, and they will not be damaged for several years.

It only feels complicated for adults to do this, but it feels interesting for children to do this.

Danyang occasionally came back from his grandma's house and saw that he was working on this at home. He seemed so happy that he didn't go back. When his parents went to work, she took her younger brother and sister to do it at home. The sweet potato chips she cut were thin and thick, so they couldn't even be dried.

What to do?

Lin Yutong taught her to steam this thing, then go to dry it after it is steamed. This is the dried sweet potatoes. It is okay to eat them as snacks in winter.

So, the children were even more happy.

The basket of sweet potatoes cannot be wasted, what should I do? Plant radishes and cabbage.

This time, Lin Yutong didn't give any advice. Duanyang knew how to do it. He sprinkled the rapeseed densely, just so he said it was so long.

The same idea as Lin Yutong is also on the farm. It is the season for growing radishes and cabbage. What should I do?

The farm manager said: soak it and seed it thicker.

Things like radish and cabbage require a certain amount of growth space. It is definitely not possible to wait for growth to grow densely. But why do you have to do this?

This is to maximize the use of the land. These things grow and once they emerge, they can be eaten.

The seedlings are growing constantly, and everyone keeps sprouting. The seedlings that come out all are vegetables! I won’t talk about cabbage and white radish, but even carrot seedlings are also good things. When the seedlings grow, they will be almost the same. It is very cost-effective to grow more than 100 kilograms of vegetables per acre of land.

This is how Lin Yutong’s family is. As soon as the seedlings grow, they can eat vegetables.

She planted it early, and the seedlings emerged early. People in the factory are very interested in these. One is used to pull a little, and one is used to pull a little. Of course, they are very rules-based and keep all the strong and good seedlings.

Maybe it was because I always ate Lin Yutong's things, so everyone was embarrassed. So, I remember to return the gift to Lin Yutong for someone like Miao. That day, Miao carried a big bag of things in and came in: I quickly hang them, don't cover them, it's enough to eat for several days.

What's it?

Danyang opened the bag and looked at her mother in confusion. I have never seen her before.

It made Mrs. Miao laugh: Silly girl, why haven’t you seen her before? Take a closer look!

I haven't seen it even after looking closely!

It looks like a kind of flower, purple-red, but a little shriveled, like a flower that fell off.

Lin Yutong was also surprised: This is cotton flower!

That’s right! It’s cotton flowers!

The cotton also blooms first, then carries a cotton boulder. The cotton boulder is grinning, and the white cotton is spitting out.

Danyang then suddenly realized: But I looked at it, cotton is not just purple flowers.

That's what you saw in the field. Lin Yutong said: It's milky white in the morning, pink in the afternoon, and purple-red the next day. The cotton flowers do not bloom together, so the flowers you see are naturally not of the same color.

Mrs. Miao also said: Other colors cannot be touched. The flowers will not become like this now, and the farms will not allow them to be picked. This is not until the cotton bouquet grows, and the flowers are dried up on them and will fall off at any time before they can be picked down. This is not picking, but falling off as soon as they touch.

Why do you want this? Danyang doesn’t understand.

Mrs. Miao was happy again: Eat it! Otherwise, why bother to do this?

eat?

Even Lin Yutong was surprised now. To be honest, she had never eaten this thing.

It’s really impossible to say that I have lived for several lifetimes and have never seen anything! Look! There are still some that she has never seen and eaten.

To be honest, she didn't even hear anything she had eaten or seen.

Mrs. Miao said confidently: Just grab a handful of noodles and steam it alive, and the taste is so good.

OK?

When she left, Lin Yutong was stunned at the bag of cotton flowers. When the Fourth Master came back, she arrested the Fourth Master and showed it to him: Why don't you? Try this today!

It was rare that she was curious, so the Fourth Master nodded: Eat it! Eat it if you want.

Lin Yutong was afraid that this dark ingredient would not be delicious. After steaming it out of the pot, she put garlic paste, sprinkled with seasonings and sprinkled with oil. She was afraid that it would not be delicious after stir-frying bacon and bacon. At least she had these delicious food for the children.

The result was surprisingly delicious.

So, when people brought the food like this, Lin Yutong accepted it.

She also received unusual ingredients such as the top buds of bean vine, the top buds and leaves of pumpkin vine, pumpkin flowers, etc.

I really feel that I have gained some knowledge.

As autumn comes, all the sweet potatoes are collected and everyone has a share. On average, one person can divide it into half a sack. For example, Lin Yutong is considered three employees, so she can divide it into three sacks.

This is a lot.

I left my sweet potatoes without grinding noodles for a while, and with this, I felt that the ones I kept were enough to eat roasted sweet potatoes and other food in winter.

After the sweet potatoes were divided, each person also divided a cart of sweet potato vines. How to deal with this thing when pulled back? Lin Yutong was hung on the wall behind, and most families were careful to receive it in the vegetable cellar.

The 115 Factory, this year is coming, but most people still don’t expect the coming year.

There is almost no autumn grain this year. I finally survived the spring famine, but there was no harvest in autumn. So far, a few drops of rain have fallen sporadically, and the ground has not even been wet. What should I do when spring is coming?

Yes! People who live a successful life are all calculating food, so they have to keep enough food for next spring.

So, like Lin Yutong before, more and more people process sweet potatoes into sweet potato noodles. Sweet potato chips are everywhere in the factory.

As winter begins, everyone's food becomes even more difficult to describe.

If you want to have a noodles, they are all layered with sorghum noodles and sweet potato noodles. The noodles that feel unsmooth and sticky when cooked are not smooth.

So everyone understood the new way to eat it and made sweet potato noodles.

In fact, the soba noodles or wheat noodles are delicious, but sweet potato noodles are not very common.

How to make it? Steam the sweet potato noodles into steamed buns. When the steamed buns are hot, it is really sticky and sweet, which is particularly difficult to swallow. But what if you take advantage of the heat to press the sweet potato noodles into a shredded pork? At least it makes people think it should be delicious.

Many people share a press machine, which is made of wooden piles, with a groove at one end and is placed on the top of the pot. Put five or six steamed buns in the groove at one go, and then another sits on the handle of the wood and presses it, "squeaking", the sweet potato steamed buns are squeezed into mud, and they are squeezed out from the small hole below and fall into the boiling water pot.

When making this thing, it is not enough to make a small amount of money at a time. Sweet potato steamed buns must be hot, and it has to occupy several people. Some people have to keep adding steamed buns to the grooves, some strong guys sit on the wooden handle and press hard, and some people have to keep stirring the stews that have fallen into the pot.

It was originally cooked, so I put it in a pot and cook it for a few times, then I put it in a cold bucket and then took it out.

This will take one or two days to eat this. Otherwise, it will not be worth the cost.

Lin Yutong's family did not make sweet potato noodles, but they made a lot of white noodles and soba noodles. This kind of thing is more palatable. Several children also like it. They can be used as a dish when they are cold, and they can be fried at night. They are just fried and fried in a pot of hot water and poured hot sauce into a pot. The soup is also very good.

There are no one selling this outside now? As soon as Lin Yutong made it at home, several children fell in love with it.

I think the stew is delicious!

But if you ask someone else's house, you will almost vomit when you eat sweet potato noodles.

But this has to be said the other way around. It is good to eat sweet potato noodles. It is scary if you don’t eat it.

It was winter, and there were suddenly many relatives in the factory. They all came to visit relatives, saying they were visiting relatives, but in fact, they were just from the ones who opened their mouths to borrow food.

Lin Yutong discussed with the Fourth Master, saying that it would be better to go back to his hometown to take a look. Bring some food to see if he could live his life in his hometown.

As a result, before they went back, a teenager came to the door.

It was Tiedan from the Miao family who brought people to the door and said they were looking for my Uncle Jin. I wonder if they were from my hometown, so I brought the people.

Standing at the door was a boy. Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't know each other.

The boy knelt down: Aunt, I am Dachun.

Dachun, the eldest son of Jin Dani's family.

Jin Laosi’s nephew.
