Tian Jing doesn't care about this little skill, just learn it if you want to, it's not a real secret recipe.
"It's okay. I don't rely on it to make a fortune. I only learned it from other people's opinions. It's just that these kudzu roots will be unlucky in the future. If everyone only digs them and doesn't plant them, there will be less and less of them in the future."
"That's the truth, how should we grow this thing?"
Sister-in-law Niu knows that if there is no kudzu root, even if she learns this skill, it will be useless.
"There are seeds in the pods on the kudzu vine. When they grow older, they can be planted." Tian Jing lowered her head and continued cutting.
"Tell me, if I get some seeds back, can I plant them next to the courtyard wall?"
"You have to try everything before you know. I also want to grow pumpkins. Don't leave in a hurry and watch me grow pumpkins."
Tian Jing doesn't want to be self-reliant, she spreads her methods and methods. It would be best if something changes in Kushan. If it can't be changed, it will be other people's fault and has nothing to do with her. She is a selfless person.
"Okay, okay, thank you. I'm from Zhengguo. I have a lot of vegetable seeds at home. If you want anything, just tell me."
The only reward that Sister Niu can think of is to give her vegetable seeds. It is impossible to save seeds for vegetables grown in Kushan. The vegetable seeds in her family are all left by her parents' family.
"Sister-in-law Niu, my name is Tian Jing. Just call me by my first name, Zhengguo. I have some bad reactions."
Tian Jing is really not used to this kind of address. Every time, she has to calm down in her mind before she realizes that Sister Niu is calling her.
"Then I'll call you Tian Jing. Tian Jing, don't be polite to me. Just tell me what seeds you want. If I don't have them at home, ask my parents to send them to me, or bring them back when I return to my parents' house in the first month. I
I'm not polite to you."
Sister-in-law Niu also wants to pass on the skills she has learned to her parents' family, so she can ask for some vegetable seeds for Tian Jing, which is absolutely no problem.
"I'll try planting pumpkins first. If it succeeds, I'll go to your house and see what seeds you have, okay?"
Tian Jing does not reject Mrs. Niu's enthusiasm. With her, as long as you have a seed, you can harvest millions.
"Okay," Mrs. Niu was very happy to be able to repay her, "Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing. You live at the end of the village, you probably don't know about it, right?"
"Zhang Fangcao had a miscarriage. Her mother pushed her and threw her to the ground. This is the mother of a child. She didn't even know she was pregnant..."
Sister-in-law Niu talked for a long time, and the happiest thing she talked about was Mother Zhang's rogue remarks.
Tian Jing inexplicably thought of yesterday. After Li Zhengguo came out with Zhang Fangcao, he was pushed to the side of the cousin. It looked fierce, but in fact, with that force, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not fall.
Are you reluctant to let Zhang Fangcao get hurt? Tian Jing herself doesn’t believe this.
Do you know that Zhang Fangcao is pregnant? It seems that you shouldn’t believe this, right? Right?
Tian Jing looked at Li Zhengguo who came out with a stone mortar that was about the same size as a sink. He turned the questions in his mind and put them behind him, agreeing to give each other their own space.
Li Zhengguo placed the stone mortar at the door and asked Tian Jing, "Are you going to pound the kudzu rhizome?"
"Yes, but you don't need to pound it. You can make the wooden box. After I finish these things, I will plant pumpkins."
Tian Jing didn't plan to ask Li Zhengguo to help. Sister Niu and Li Min were here. They wanted to learn the craft and do it themselves. It was the right thing to do.
"We are here," Sister-in-law Niu patted her chest, "Brother Zhengguo, go and do your work."
"Okay." Li Zhengguo went out to borrow tools.
Tian Jing took Mrs. Niu and Li Min to pound the cut kudzu rhizomes into a paste, then scooped them into a bucket before continuing.
Li Zhengguo borrowed tools and worked on the roadside opposite Li's house to avoid dust and sawdust on their food.
After pounding all the kudzu rhizomes, I scooped water into the bucket, stirred it into slurry, put a sieve on another bucket, filled the slurry with a flour bag collected by Mrs. Li, and started filtering.
Sister Niu is very strong, so she kneads the filtered dregs a few times. After making sure that the dregs are relatively dry, she pours the dregs out of the dough bag.
"Is this good?" Mrs. Niu looked at Tian Jing in surprise.
"Yes," Tian Jing nodded, "just let it settle overnight. Tomorrow morning, pour out the clean water on top. The solidified starch below will be enough. Just dig out the wet starch and dry it. It is best to spread a cloth on the sieve to dry it, and ventilate the bottom of the sieve.
, so as not to spoil the powder."
"Hmm," Mrs. Niu nodded vigorously, "Then, those sweet potatoes were made in the same way?"
"yes."
"I, I'll go home and make sweet potato flour first, and then I'll come over and watch you grow pumpkins, okay?"
Sister Niu was very embarrassed, but she agreed to help.
Sister Niu was about to leave, and Li Min said goodbye happily. All the work had been taken away by Sister Niu, and she had not yet done it herself. "Sister Niu, please go back quickly."
Sister-in-law Niu took away her kitchen knife and chopping board and hurried back to make sweet potato noodles. Li Min pounded the sweet potato cubes enthusiastically.
Tian Jing just watched and said nothing, so she did it by herself. It was a very simple step. She had seen it again with her own eyes. If she still couldn't do it, she was really as stupid as a pig.
After Li Min made the sweet potato flour, she just felt a sense of accomplishment when she was hit by Tian Jing, "Have you occupied the other bucket too, so there won't be any water at home at night?"
Li Min quickly ran into the west room and took out the large wooden basin that Tian Jing had not had time to use. "Hey, let's borrow it first."
No matter what Tian Jing's face was, he hurriedly washed the big wooden basin, placed it next to the wall of the main room, poured the sweet potato syrup into the big wooden basin, and then looked at Tian Jing, with an expression waiting for praise.
Tian Jing glared at her, "It's not worthy of praise. You entered my room without permission and took my things. It was rude. Prepare all the things you need before doing anything next time."
"Yes, listen to my sister-in-law." Li Min was criticized, but she smiled happily.
Tian Jing didn't look at her stupid look and said, "Go back to the house and dig some dung and soil."
"yes."
Li Min carried the dung pan on her back and went to the back of the house. Her sister-in-law didn't want to go to the back of the house because the toilet was right behind the house and the smell was too strong.
Her elder sister-in-law could barely make a trip to the big one every day, and she hid in the room to use the new urine bucket for the small one. Her eldest brother poured it out before dawn. Don’t think she doesn’t know, huh! Her eldest brother
She is just too spoiled to her sister-in-law.
Tian Jing "..." She also wanted to pour it herself, but every time she found that it had been poured and washed, there was nothing she could do.
And she really doesn't dislike the strong smell. Is it stronger than the smell of zombies? What she dislikes is the lack of security, okay?
Dozens of corn stalks surrounded three sides, and the side facing the wall was completely empty. Every time she excreted what she could no longer retain, she didn't dare to squat anymore. She was also worried that she would have the sequelae of endless peeing.
Woolen cloth.
Li Min was very fast and had already returned with two dung dustpans on his back.
The soil and gravel in the soil are just like what Li Min said, it feels like black and white sesame seeds are mixed together.
Tian Jing looked up at Li Zhengguo who was still making wooden boxes, "Comrade Li Zhengguo, do you have a sieve with large holes?"
