Wheat usually has to be ground into flour and then made into other kinds of flour food, but he can't have food, he can't take his own wheat to the town and grind it into flour, which will make them attract some unnecessary attention, especially Chen Tianba's gang, on the surface, they can be regarded as confiscating all their stored grain last time, so the wheat produced in the secret realm is a secret that cannot be exposed, and can only be eaten at home by quietly licking off the wheat husk and cooking it like rice.

Xing Youyou looked at the small bowl of wheat in the bowl in front of her, her brows wrinkled unconsciously, although the boiled wheat smelled strong, but it tasted quite tough, the outer layer of skin was still very rough, and it tasted like cutting her throat, and now she finally understood why wheat always had to be ground into flour and could not be boiled and eaten like rice.

Previously, she was not allowed to eat wheat because the wheat was too coarse, so she kept a small amount of rice for her sister to eat alone, but now that the rice is finished, even the cornmeal is gone.

Seeing that her little sister sighed all day long, she was very happy to have food, put down her chopsticks, and nodded her eyebrows,

"It's not too big, and you know how to sigh, hurry up and eat, or your teeth won't grow neatly." ”

"That is, the daughters of Aunt Wang'er's family are taller than you. "The little girl in Xing Youqian's mouth is two months younger than Xing Youyou, but she was born at full term and was weaned at more than a year old, and now her height is much taller than Youyou. Xing Youliang couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard this, his sister was born prematurely three months early, not to mention that she hadn't even drunk a mouthful of her mother's milk, but the little person was often sick, and her father and they finally saved her life.

Xing Youyou has always wanted to tell her brothers how to grow dryland rice, but she can't, wheat is wheat, and you can grow tall if you eat it, she reluctantly picked up a little wheat into her mouth, but wheat tastes much harder than rice, and her teeth can't cope with it at all, so she can only swallow it. The wheat stopped at her chest, and she couldn't stop drinking the soup before swallowing it, and Xing Youyou couldn't eat it after two bites, looking at Xing Youliang with a pitiful look.

"Big brother, hard. ”

Xing Youliang put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the door of the stove and took out a wooden stick from the ashes of the stove, and took out a roasted sweet potato, which is Xing Youyou's favorite kind, not big or small, long and thin strips, the yellow-brown skin is occasionally embellished with black scorch marks, the eldest brother's roasted sweet potato skills are perfect, the time is just right, although the appearance is not good-looking, but the tempting rich aroma makes the saliva in Xing Youyou's mouth swallow uncontrollably, looking at Xing Youliang and grinning, laughing so that Xing Youliang is very satisfied.

"I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat, so I'll roast it for you. Xing Youqian looked at the hot, soft and glutinous roasted sweet potatoes, and his eyeballs were pasted.

"Thank you, big brother~" Xing Youyou flattered, and the smile on his face was as bright as the sun, lighting up the entire table.

Xing Youliang was afraid that the sweet potatoes would be too hot, so he broke them into small pieces and put them on the table to cool down.

The three of their brothers and sisters all like to eat sweet potatoes, why don't she take this sweet potato as an experiment, sweet potatoes are big, nutritious, sweet and soft, if there is a large supply of sweet potatoes in the difficult period not far away, wouldn't it be better to solve the problem? In addition, the sweet potato growth cycle is less than four months, that is to say, it only takes more than a month to harvest in the secret realm. And sweet potato vines can also be cooked, whether it is stir-fried or made into soup. Sweet potato peels and sweet potato stalks can also be eaten by rhubarb and monkey niangniang, and the more you think about it, the more you think it's a good idea.

After the sweet potatoes cooled, Xing Youyou gave some to the eldest brother and the second brother, and after eating the rest, he flashed into the secret realm, pulled out the few sweet potatoes in the secret realm with his mind, and then divided them into small pieces. I walked out of the secret place with my clothes and the sweet potato chunks in my pocket, and came to the wide open space on the right side of the house, ready to plant the sweet potatoes.

He took out the sickle he had just stolen from under the eaves and dug three pits for a long time, and in the first pit he put the soil of the secret realm, and in the second pit he used ordinary soil, but it was drenched with water from the pool, and in the third pit both soil and water. Xing Youyou wanted to know the respective functions of the secret realm soil and water, after all, she really didn't know if the secret realm would be upgraded, just 20 centimeters of land was not enough, and when she got the sweet potatoes outside to plant them in the future, she would know how to operate.

When the torture came out after eating, what he saw was a muddy torturer, squatting in the open space and smiling slyly,

"Look at your clothes, they are all mud, okay, don't learn how to learn how your second brother can play with mud. When Xing Youyou was about to confess, he suddenly heard the sound of trees being cut down in the mountains and forests behind.

"Big brother has someone. ”

Xing Youliang stopped to listen carefully, he heard the sound of axes cutting and talking, it seems that there are still a lot of people, but the forest belongs to the commune, and he can't control it. Pulled his little sister and hurried home.

After a while, someone came to the courtyard,

"Is there food, is there any dry at home?" After changing the question for his younger brother, he came to the door, and it turned out to be Yang, the daughter-in-law of Li Shaved.

"Aunt Yang, what's wrong?"

"We are cutting down trees in the back mountain, and we are a little thirsty, and you are the only one in the vicinity who wants to come and ask for some water. ”

In order to be promoted, Chen Haitao took the initiative to undertake the task of building an earth-building blast furnace in Graphite Village in front of the town mayor, so that they could dig some loess and cut down some trees in the mountains. The torture on the kang in the inner room heard the conversation at the door clearly, but a worry rose in his heart.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xing Youyou to stand in her yard and look at it from afar, only to see patches of earthen blast furnaces on the wide dam that used to dry millet, and black smoke continued to rise from the furnace, so that she could only faintly see that there seemed to be a figure shaking. As far as the eye can see, the entire graphite village is shrouded in a gray-black smoke, which is still spreading in all directions, and she believes that it will not be long before the graphite village will be similar to the smog in Beijing in the 21st century, and even began to wonder if the smog in 60 years will also be the fault of steelmaking.

Looking at the rising black smoke, Xing Youyou was very helpless, thinking that if this situation continued to ferment, it would not be a few days before Qingfeng Valley would be affected. It's the turn of summer and autumn, and the maple forests on the other side are red and green, and the occasional sunlight in the forest shines through the gaps in the leaves, shining on the bare ground. The ground should have been covered with maple leaves and shrubs, but it had been stripped away and turned into plant ash a few months ago. I think that it won't be long before this maple forest, which should be as red as fireworks in autumn, will also enter the belly of the earth blast furnace.
