There are also two kinds of fresh grapes in the fruit store, one is green, crystal clear and long grains like bunches of agate. One is purple, and the grapes are squeezed together with firm grains.

The salesman told my grandmother that the green grapes were called agate grapes, which were sweeter. Purple grapes are called roses, with a rose scent.

It may be that the transportation is not easy, the price of grapes is high, three cents a catty, packed in a bamboo basket, a basket of 20 catties, grandma looked at the leisurely gluttony, the same to ask for a basket.

Although it is only in August, the mooncakes are already on the shelf. You took a look, they were all five kernels, two one-pound big moon cakes, six cents a catty, and grandma also bought five catties.

Yoyo didn't see any apples, so he asked the salesman, "Auntie, why don't you have apples?"

"The apples have to wait for two days, and the Yantai Guoguang apples after August 15 will be delicious, so you can buy them at that time." ”

When I got home, my grandmother carried a basket of pears and grapes and four roast chickens on the back of her bicycle. I went to my aunt's house first, and everyone gathered around the washed fruit and ate it happily, saying that it was better than buying it at the market.

Uncle ate some of everything, and sighed again: "Sister, don't look at my brother's journey from south to north, you really don't have any knowledge, my brother has never seen this thing, and I don't know where to buy it, and the whole family has followed you to enjoy happiness." ”

On the fifth day of August, the school had an autumn break, and this time the school year was not enough for a month. However, "Three Autumns" and "Three Summers" are different, due to the different ripening times of various crops, "Three Autumns" are relatively looser, but the pulling time is longer.

The sorghum is ripe, the three hundred acres of sorghum are connected together, looking at it from a distance, the red sorghum ears fall like the colorful glow of the sky, beautiful and magnificent.

Cutting sorghum is really tiring, and the male laborers are so tired that they sweat. Women's labor is relatively easy, and there are far fewer ears of sorghum than millet. They cut off the ears of sorghum with a sickle, bundled the sorghum stalks, and distributed them to each house according to their heads.

Sorghum straw is a good thing in this era. It is directly made into silk to build the roof of the house, and it is broken and pressed into a variety of mats, which is a necessary daily necessities. Even the sorghum straw broken from the middle is also useful, and the top sorghum is broken off to make steamed buns and pots. Remove the sorghum grains and shells of the ears, which can be tied into a broom for brushing the pot.

If you sell it directly without processing, a bundle of sorghum straw with a diameter of 30 centimeters can be sold for more than a dollar. Each person in the village divides ten bales of sorghum straw a year, which is also a large income.

Sorghum is the staple food of people, the dry food eaten is mainly sorghum bean nest, and the porridge drunk in the morning is sorghum batter. Compared with the "sweet potato rice, sweet potato bun, you can't live without sweet potato" in the villages outside the embankment, the spoken language of the people in the beach area is: "Sorghum beans nest is chili, and the more you eat, the fatter you get." ”

The village has an average of 350 catties of sorghum, and Guilian's family of three has more than 200 catties because of the less work. The two of them were very happy, and Zhang Liugen said excitedly, "My hometown has a year's worth of food, and one person can't get 100 catties." ”

After the sorghum was harvested, the land began to be cultivated. The accumulation of manure in each family and team was carried to the field by carts and carts. Ten points for a car and three points for a rubber-tired car, and one car for a rubber-tired car.

Several large dung heaps in Youyou's house have recorded a total of more than 800 points, and my grandfather used to have only six points a day in the vegetable garden, which is equivalent to half a year's work value.

This year, the village has fed a lot of pigs, and there is a lot of fertilizer, and more than 10 acres of land have been arranged with more than 1,000 catties of soil and miscellaneous fertilizer.

The villagers all said that they had finally reached the standard of 10,000 catties of base fertilizer per mu that had been proposed in five or eight years, but they didn't know when 10,000 catties of grain per mu could be realized.

The difficulty is that in the later generations, the rapid development of science and technology has not been realized, and there is no problem with tons of grain fields.

The team's two tractors played a role, pulling pears and rakes. Two tractors can plough 100 acres of land in one day, and 300 acres of land can be raked in three days.

The ploughing cattle in the team are all used to pull dung into the field, which reduces the labor intensity of the masses. This year's "Three Autumns" is much easier than before, and everyone is very satisfied.

The chicks fed by grandma have grown into big chickens, especially roosters, which have grown to about two catties.

The rooster is coming, the conditions are very harsh, as long as the little rooster of the year, it has to be more than a pound and a half. Yoyo smacked his tongue, the current farmers are really wronged, and it is difficult to buy and sell.

On the sixth day of the eighth month, my grandmother took Youyou to Zhangji. In the bazaar, in addition to the restaurants of the supply and marketing cooperatives, there began to be people who set up stalls to sell roast chicken, and a large pot of roast chicken was covered with a gauze cover, and the fragrance wafted out far away. Youyou dragged her grandmother, smelled the fragrance and looked for it.

There are really a few people who buy roast chicken, and they all ask for six. Youyou looked at it and felt strange, "Grandma, why do they all need six?"

"This is for a gift of the season, and now it is fashionable to send six roast chickens. "It turns out that on August 15, the unmarried man has to go to the woman's house to give a gift to the woman, and he has to send it on the two days before the tenth day of the new year. In fact, it is the sixth, eighth and tenth days of the first month of August, three days.

Now six roast chickens are a big expense, no wonder the chickens are only the chickens of the year, the old roosters are generally less than three catties, and an old chicken catches up with two chicks.

As soon as I entered the food station, the stationmaster greeted him warmly, "Old Han, how are you doing with the eggs there, how many did you bring today?"

"Not much, less than two hundred, the old saying is not lacking in August and not lacking wax moon, during this time the old chickens do not lay eggs, the chicks have not yet grown, and the eggs are not easy to harvest. ”

"These fifteen have to be made into moon cakes, and the amount of eggs is too large, and I can't collect them. But bring your two fat pigs, I've heard that they have grown to more than 200 pounds. "The webmaster is well-informed.

"I'll bring you one in the next episode, and I'll have to keep one. After the autumn, my family built a house, and I had to kill the house. "Grandma told the truth.

It turned out that the food station was also responsible for making mooncakes on August 15 and dim sum during the Spring Festival. Grandma didn't ask for mooncakes because she was going to the county seat.

Luo Xincai received a lot of random hair this time, 5,000 kilograms of random hair and 2,000 kilograms of scrap copper, worth 4,000 yuan, plus 400 yuan of profit, a total of 4,400 yuan. His wife asked for 150 bags of headdresses and 2,000 pairs of socks, and his grandmother gave him 900 yuan.

At the same time as Luo Xincai delivered the goods, he brought five baskets of red bananas and apples, a basket of 50 catties. Grandma wanted to give him money, but he was anxious: "Sister-in-law, you are slapping me in the face, and my brother can ask you for money for this little thing." I didn't like you to say that I pulled a cart from the orchard for five cents and a pound, and I relied on it to open the way for scrap. It's not that I can't put this thing down, I want to give you a few more baskets. ”

"Then sister-in-law, thank you, this apple is big and red, and the price is what you can buy. "The apples are really good, they have to be half a catty, and they exude a burst of sweetness.

"Sister-in-law, this is the only way to be a newcomer, my mother has followed him for a few years, and she has not been aggrieved in her mouth. Wang Daidi praised him to his grandmother.
