Chapter 92: After the Wheat Harvest
Grandma sent him out of the gate and returned to the backyard, where Yoyo had already put his hair into the space and arranged for the robot to clean and tidy up.
After closing the gate, only the two of them were left, and the high fence separated the courtyard from the outside, quiet and safe.
You took out a batch of robots with confidence, cleaned and disinfected everywhere, and also took out various daily necessities to arrange the front yard. From now on, this is my home.
Although, the space is more comfortable than the outside, and the two can enter the space at any time, but after all, there are still more times when they are outside. Besides, such an elegant and quaint house is beautifully furnished and a pleasure to live in.
The flowers in the back garden are growing well, and the ground looks freshly hoeed, clean, and there is no weed. Yoyo took out the herbicide that had been prepared long ago and let the robot spray it. The two entered the space, prepared the things needed by the consignment point, and went to the bus station.
After wheat, all kinds of seasonal vegetables are on the market one after another, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow shoots, beans, peppers, eggplants, and leeks. The team's vegetable garden divides the greens every two days, and the vegetables are divided according to the population, and the amount is enough to eat.
The vegetables of the second grandmother's family were reluctant to be fried in oil, either slipping or boiling, and the family ate them very fragrantly.
The leeks in the team are not empty to make dumplings, they all make vegetable rolls and eat them. Wash and chop the leeks, mix with ginger and fennel noodles, mix them with oil and salt, spread them evenly on the rolled out pancakes, roll them into long strips, and steam them in a pot.
After boiling the pot for ten minutes, lift the lid of the pot and cut it into more than ten centimeter segments, the leeks inside are still emerald green, the leeks are fragrant, and they are very delicious.
Leek rolls and meals are dual-purpose, if you put more salt, you can eat it as a vegetable, and if you put less salt, you can eat it as a meal.
Grandma is now making leek rolls, putting some shrimp skin in them, and then knocking an egg on it, which makes the taste fresher. Yoyo's favorite thing to eat is it, and Didi can eat a lot of it.
The lazy dumplings made by the second grandmother are also very fragrant, and the grandmother often makes them when she sees them. Chop the leeks very finely, add ginger and fennel noodles and mix with oil and salt, mix with white noodles, add water and stir to form soft noodles.
The water in the pot is boiled, kneaded into thin slices by hand and cooked. It is firm and smooth, with the fresh fragrance of leeks, and if you put some shrimp skin in the pot, the taste will be even better. The white noodles contain emerald green leeks, which are beautiful and delicious.
Yoyo always thinks that it would be better if I put some shredded omelets in it. But I never dared to say it, and I guess my grandmother would scold: "You just do (do evil), can you be full if you look good?"
The weather is hot, and the second grandmother's Westinghouse is even hotter, and her family eats three meals a day under the big tree in the courtyard. The Yoyo family also eats under the tree, and the two families basically eat together, but there is a sequence of time.
The smell of the cowhouse is not good, and the front of the yard is either a cow dung pile or a pigsty, and the smell is not good, and it is easy to breed mosquitoes and flies.
Yoyo secretly sprays pesticides and disinfects every night, cleans up and cleans, and regularly sprays long-lasting drugs to prevent mosquitoes and flies.
The second master often said strangely: "This year is really good, there are no mosquitoes, and there are not many flies, is it really like they said, smoked to death by ammonia." If so, we'll have to use it next year. ”
Every time you hear it, you are speechless. What is this, this brain circuit is too big.
This year, there was a lot of wheat, and the quality of life of the second grandmother's family also improved, from a daily vegetable dumpling to a flower roll. As we often eat together, Yoyo's understanding of large meals has been refreshed.
The second grandmother's home is the largest eight-win pot, which can steam more than 40 buns in one pot. The rolls (square buns) chopped by the second grandmother are as big as the soles of shoes, and Gui Ping can eat four at noon. Baojing is a boy, and he is full after eating six.
plus her eldest daughter's family of six adults, she eats most of the pot buns at noon. Her second daughter was pregnant, and her in-laws were reluctant to let her go back to her parents' house to live.
The second grandmother rolls noodles every night and makes boiled noodles with green vegetables. Eating noodles also saves some food. As the old saying goes: drink noodles to save money, drink pimple fees, and sell the land to eat pot helmets. Anyway, you don't have to work hard at night, and you can save a little bit.
This is not for health care, dinner is full, it is to save food rations.
Baojing and the second master used enamel pots to eat, and one pot could hold two bowls of rice. Both of them drank four or five pots. In order to save trouble, the second grandmother scooped the noodles into a large basin and brought them to the bottom of the tree.
For breakfast, the second grandmother has to cook according to the situation of the remaining steamed buns, and if there are fewer leftover buns, the second grandmother has to paste a circle of thin dough cakes on the side of the pot. The rest of the steamed buns were reserved for a few children to eat. The food is less oil and water, and the children are hungry quickly, and they have to eat leftovers when they are hungry for a long time.
The golden dumplings on the potstickers are burnt with a burnt fragrance, and you eat them with Gui Ping every time. Gui Ping didn't take Yoyo's steamed buns, and Yoyo said that she wouldn't take her cakes.
His little nephew Gou Yu played well with Didi, but he changed a lot of domineering personality.
After you calculated, Gui Ping, the youngest of the second grandmother's family, also got two catties of grain a day, and Baojing and the second master had at least three catties a day. No wonder the second grandmother is always calculating, how to save on food, and try to mix all kinds of things that can be eaten.
Now every night, after eating, everyone goes to the new house of the Youyou family to enjoy the coolness, clean the ground, dig out two buckets of water from the well, splash on it, and soon seep into the ground, the ground is cool and silky, very comfortable.
The foundation of the Yoyo family is cushioned high, and the differential blowing blows through, bringing bursts of coolness, and mosquitoes can't survive at all. The old people took a pu fan, flapped it a few times from time to time, and muttered in their mouths: "There are fewer mosquitoes and flies this year, are they really smoked to death by ammonia?" ”
"It should be like this, it turned out that in the cotton field, I don't know how many times I have to take medicine now, but this year I haven't hit it once, and there is no insect on the cotton. ”
Youyou was speechless when you heard it, my sister's insect-resistant cotton was not given for nothing.
Each family brought a mat and spread it on the ground, and everyone sat on it, chattering. The children were running around and playing, tired and sleepy, so they lay down on the mats to sleep, and the adults took a sheet and covered their bodies.
Women range from the elderly in their eighties to children of six or seven years old, with a cloth bag under the squeaky nest on the left, which is covered with soaked wheat straw, and they are busy pinching their braids with both hands.
Women with fast hands can pinch around (about ten meters) in one night, and they can sell for seven cents to a dime. It can be sold for two or three yuan a month, enough to pull a thin piece of clothing, and it is just right to wear in summer.
From the beginning of the wheat queen to the new cotton, from May to August of the lunar calendar, during these four months, women's work every night is basically to pinch their braids, and they can finally sell them for more than ten yuan, which is also a lot of income.
