When the sound of guns and cannons in Meishan suddenly stopped, Zhang Yaohua knew that the giant python should have been cleaned up. No matter how powerful it was, it was a flesh and blood body, and it was still very fragile in front of the guns and cannons. But after thinking about it, Zhang Yaohua was still chilling that afternoon. I don’t know if there were any casualties in the People’s Liberation Army.
On the same day, Zhang Dechun issued a notice from each household: the alarm has been lifted. All households are rushing to harvest late rice and strive to complete the harvest of late rice before the rainy season comes.
Zhang Jiaohua's sweet potato seeds are white-skinned and red-hearted varieties. The skin looks white. The outer skin is removed, but the potato meat inside is red. This sweet potato has a high sugar content. After roasting, it tastes like a delicacy on earth.
When Zhang Yaohua came, he put a knife on his body and chose a sweet potato with a well-proportioned head. He peeled the skin to completely reveal the red potato meat inside. He took a bite and it was very crispy and had sufficient moisture. He tasted like fruits. But eating it raw like this, the sweetness of the sweet potato cannot be completely released, and it lacked the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.
Although the taste is a bit insufficient, it cannot stop Zhang Beihua's good mood.
The mountain leopard watched the little master eat crispy and loudly, and was extremely greedy, and kept wagging his tail in front of the little master.
"It's useless to shake it, you won't eat this thing." Zhang Yaohua raised the sweet potato in his hand high, for fear that he would be licked by the mountain leopard.
The more I couldn't eat the mountain leopard, the more greedy he became. He followed Zhang Qiaohua's butt and rubbed Zhang Qiaohua's body, and his tail was shaken.
"You really don't know how to eat this thing. Okay, forget it, can't I give it to you?" Zhang Jiaohua was so entangled by the Zhuanshan Leopard that she could not do anything. She could only use a knife to cut a piece of the sweet potato in her hand and feed it directly into the Zhuanshan Leopard's mouth.
The mountain leopard was overjoyed, but when the potato piece came into its mouth, it was stunned. After tasting the taste, it spit out without chewing it. It looked at Zhang Yaohua with a strange look. It probably thought that the little master was really strange. Such a bad thing was so delicious.
Looking at the depressed appearance of the Zhuanshan Leopard, Zhang Yaohua burst into laughter and deliberately took a big bite in front of the Zhuanshan Leopard, chewing it with relish.
The mountain leopard was puzzled. Is it really so interesting? I turned around and licked the potato cube it had just spitted out, but it still had no taste at all. It seemed that the little master's taste was really unreasonable. I found a clean place and lay lazily on the ground. My appetite was aroused, but I found that the food was not as good as the taste, and it felt very unpleasant.
However, the mountain leopard quickly found something fun. The owner threw the sweet potatoes that were turned out from the ground from time to time, and the sweet potatoes kept rolling, like a living thing. The mountain leopard gently stretched and threw the sweet potato. Then he rolled in the ground with the sweet potato in his arms. It was like a cat catching a mouse.
"It's so fun!" Zhang Jiaohua watched the mountain leopard rolling in the ground with enthusiasm.
Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye are both good at doing farm work. They are flexible and powerful. When they work, they will naturally be much faster than others. If you dig a piece of sweet potatoes in a piece of land, they will be dug to death. They will be dug all of them. When digging sweet potatoes, they will level the sweet potato fields. Then they can plant other crops immediately.
Sweet potatoes are not damaged at all, so such sweet potatoes can be kept in the cellar for longer. Sweet potatoes are not resistant to low temperatures, and they will soon break down after a little building. Farmers will dry the sweet potatoes slightly and put them in the cellar for storage. The temperature in the cellar will generally not be lower than zero degrees. Sweet potato cellars can be stored in the cellar until next spring. At that time, they can be used for seeding.
In the 1990s, although Meiziao had already reached the food and clothing line, sweet potatoes were still a very important grain crop. Most sweet potatoes were used to feed pigs, which could save rice consumption. If it weren't for this, if you raise one or two pigs at home, the food at home would be consumed before the harvest of early rice next year.
The yield of sweet potatoes is good. With more than one cent of land, you can carry at least four or five loads with a winnowing basket. Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye put the sweet potatoes into the winnowing basket and carried them back one by one. Zhang Yaohua was too short and too little, so he naturally couldn't help. He could only follow his parents one by one.
When cooking lunch, Liu Qiaoye had already put some sweet potatoes in the rice pot without Zhang Jiaohua's request. A few sweet potatoes were buried in the ashes in the stove.
Roasting sweet potatoes in the stove is also a test of patience. Zhang Yaohua can't help but pick out the sweet potatoes from time to time and pinch them to see if they are cooked. Or she is worried that the sweet potatoes will be burnt and keep turning around. The final result is naturally the kind of half-baked sweet potatoes.
Fortunately, Liu Qiaoye is in charge of the general direction, "Don't worry, don't worry, when the dishes are fried, the sweet potatoes will be almost roasted."
Because Zhang Jiaohua Yuanyang suffered losses last time, the food in Zhang Jiaohua's family has always been very good. The next day, Zhang Youping would go to the commune to cut a piece of meat back. So during this time, Zhang Jiaohua's lips have always been shiny.
When the dish was about to be prepared, Liu Qiaoye used iron tongs to pick up a sweet potato from the ashes, and pinched it with his hands to know if the sweet potato was completely cooked.
"Baby, this one is ripe. Be careful not to burn it." Liu Qiaoye blew at the sweet potato, patted it again, and cleaned the ash on it. Then he handed it to Zhang Yaohua.
Although Zhang Yaohua is young, she is very experienced in eating. She also recites a few spells in her mouth, which seems to make herself not afraid of being hot. This spell was made up by Zhang Yaohua's mouth. It has no effect except for the comforting effect in her heart.
Zhang Jiaohua carefully peeled off the thin outer skin of the sweet potato to reveal the bright red sweet potato meat inside. The sweet potato is like bright red crystals, which looks like it can stimulate appetite. However, it is still very hot and requires some skills to eat the sweet potato into your stomach.
Zhang Yaohua was so hot that she screamed with sweet potatoes, but she couldn't bear to let go. She also bit her mouth from time to time, and opened her mouth to let the cold air in. She ate very miserable. Her appearance made people laugh.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly. No one snatches you. There are still a few more here." Liu Qiaoye was afraid that the baby would be burned.
Zhang Youping packed all the sweet potatoes, and some of them were connected to the sweet potato vines, which was reserved on purpose. Tie these sweet potatoes connected to the sweet potato vines and hang them directly on the beams under the eaves to let them dry naturally. In this way, the sugar concentration in the sweet potatoes will be further increased and the flavor will naturally be better.
"I'll go to my dad tonight, brother and others say that our family will start harvesting late rice from tomorrow. Don't you, when you use a threshing machine, you will bump into each other again." Zhang Youping poured a basin of water and washed the soil on his hands.
"You have to." Liu Qiaoye has always absolutely supported men's arrangements on such issues.
The threshing machine of Zhang Jiaohua's family is shared, and she shares a threshing machine with Grandpa Zhang Jiaohua and Uncle Zhang Jiaohua. Because everyone is also threshing with the millet. But sometimes, some conflicts arise. Everyone wants to take advantage of the sunny weather to take advantage of the weather. The easier it is to hit the rainy season. So, this time, Zhang Youping wanted to harvest his own late rice a little earlier. The maturity of the millet has not reached 100%. However, it can ensure that the harvest is achieved in good weather.
