Chapter 100 [100] Sweet potato starch

After finally collecting the rice, we also had to take care of harvesting acre of water spinach, celery, cabbage, radish, beans, cucumber and other vegetables from acre of land. When these vegetables were taken back home, it was almost mid-October. After that, the adults were busy growing wheat again. They were all done. In November, the weather began to get cold.

It is equivalent to the official end of the struggle from September to early November.

This is a continuous life without breathing, let alone adults can't stand it, even Zhuo Lin, who cooks every day, feels sorry for them.

Their family dug a cellar in the yard and put water spinach, celery, cabbage, radish, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. into the cellar. The beans and cucumbers were taken out to pickle them. Some of the cabbage and radish had to be extracted for pickling. Sour cabbage and sour cabbage and spicy cabbage and spicy radish, and the chili grown in summer were basically consumed during the pickling process.

God knows how tired the sisters-in-law are when they put all the vegetables, grains and fields together. They feel so tired that they are not motivated in bed for a day.

Zhuo Lin felt sorry for them and took her brother to try not to cause trouble. In addition to cooking, her mother didn't let her do the job of washing pots and washing dishes. She cut vegetables for her, for fear that she would hurt her little girl again. In the spare time, she took Zhuo Jian to catch insects and feed the chickens, because only when the chickens were full could it lay eggs. If the eggs were laid, the nutrition of the family could be guaranteed.

It is precisely because of the hard work that we can realize the hard-earned food and cherish every grain of food and vegetables earned this winter.

By the way, there are also the fruits, persimmons, apples, and pears on the fruit trees at home. The peaches and apricots were ripe early. My father sold some of them, and the rest was eaten by his family.

As of November, the family's savings had exceeded 100 yuan, which is really gratifying. Some of them were my father's job, and the rest were saved by the family by selling vegetables, fruits and melons. As for the medicinal materials that Zhuo Lin saved herself, they were still stored in the cellar after they were dried and did not move.

Because the family just thought it was something that her children played with, and no one really took these things to heart and thought it could be sold. Zhuo Lin herself did not intend to sell this score, so she would have to save more to count.

It is said that the autumn rain is the colder. After November, every rain comes, the weather becomes a little colder.

During this period, my grandmother and my uncle cut sweet potatoes at home every day, and made them into slurry, emptying out the starch, and drying the starch. If you want to eat vermicelli, you can leak some vermicelli.

I couldn't even throw away the sweet potato residue, and made it into cakes or boiled into soup, without wasting any waste.

Because there are really many sweet potatoes, my grandmother made a lot of starch. They had eaten the sweet potato residue for about a month, and finally leaked about thirty kilograms of vermicelli and thirty kilograms of starch, and there were only 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes left. The remaining sweet potatoes can be used as winter reserve grain.

Bury sweet potatoes and potatoes in the sand in the cellar and can be preserved for a long time.

This autumn harvest of two acres of land harvested almost 900 kilograms of rice, which is a relatively high yield of the same acre. Other families either have more than 700 kilograms or more than 800 kilograms. The only one in the whole village is their Zhuo family.
