And generally cooking is done with a stove.

The stove is burned with firewood, these things are cut by themselves, and after they are dried, they are picked up one by one, and these firewood do not need to be bought with money, so they will not feel distressed when they are burned.

In the past, Lin Quan did three things at home: herding cattle, morning and afternoon.

Feed the pigs, more than three times a day.

Cook on a fire, three times a day.

Oh yes, you have to help cut pig food at night, that is, cut sweet potatoes, after all, sweet potatoes are such a big thing, if you don't chop them, it is difficult to cook, and pigs can't eat raw things, it is easy to eat their stomachs and indigestion.

"Why doesn't it snow in winter! Last year's snow was so big! ”

Grandpa remembered the snow last winter, fortunately Lin Quan did not come back during the New Year, the snow during the New Year was really big, and the mountains were white, and it gradually dissipated at the end of February, that is to say, the temperature in the hometown did not exceed zero degrees throughout the winter.

"Then there's no water seeping into here, is there?"

Lift the rotten straw that covers it, revealing the tricolor cloth inside.

The tricolor cloth is the most common waterproof thing in the countryside, this thing is cheap and easy to use, so every household has to buy some, when waiting for the tractor to transport grain on the threshing floor, when covering some haystacks, and like this, when doing waterproof treatment, they are all used to use them.

"I don't know, I haven't gone down to see it, your grandmother and I can't eat sweet potatoes, we can't digest them, you bury these things in here, if you don't come back yourself, they will probably rot in it."

Indeed, grandpa is right, their old people's appetite is not high, because of age, for them, what they eat and drink is actually not so important, plus sweet potatoes, they have been eating since the time of the collective farm, six years or so, at that time to do farm work, the only thing they get from earning is a bowl of white rice, although it is the kind of porcelain bowl in the countryside, but considering that there are generally male and female owners and four or five children in a family with six or seven mouths to eat, so this bowl of white rice is absolutely not enough.

Therefore, the production team will give them some sweet potatoes, which are cooked when they are sent, and they are afraid that the farmers will keep them to grow at home, at that time, the big pot of rice of the public-owned production team and cooperatives is not allowed to have private property, and raising an old hen at home is to be punished, and it is naturally not good to plant sweet potatoes.

Grandpa, they worked and exchanged the rice for a few children to eat, they themselves ate sweet potatoes, because they ate too much, so they were a little afraid when they saw this thing later, and they couldn't raise their appetite at all, they roasted, boiled, and fried when they saw sweet potatoes.

Lin Quan saw a lot more sweet potatoes at home last year, and the two old men couldn't plant the fields, so they planted a little sweet potatoes in the vegetable garden, but the yield of this thing was too high, they didn't finish it, and they left a lot of sweet potatoes, so Lin Quan stored a lot of this thing in the cellar.

"I hope it doesn't rain, otherwise it won't be easy!"

Anything that has been soaked in water will be broken, because there are many more bacteria in the water than in the air, sweet potatoes are actually sweet potato seeds, as long as the conditions are right, it is easy to germinate, similar to other things, after the sweet potatoes sprout, it is best not to eat, so as not to be poisoned, potatoes are poisonous This is known to everyone, and sweet potatoes similar to potatoes are actually worth being vigilant about, although Lin Quan is not sure whether it is poisonous, but the elders in the family are not allowed to eat sprouted things, except for ginger.

I opened the tri-color cloth, and it looked quite dry inside, and it seemed that the straw and these tricolor cloths had worked with the previous pad.

As long as these places are not sunken, the rainwater will generally flow down the tricolor cloth and will not accumulate here, and as long as the air inside is kept moist and there is no open water, the sweet potatoes will not spoil in most cases.

Sure enough, most of the sweet potatoes inside were good, and except for a few that sprouted, the others looked pretty good.

"Well, the situation is not bad, it seems that the role of this cellar is quite large!"

Lin Quan smiled and took out six or seven sweet potatoes from them.

After the frost, the sweet potato has sugar, and it tastes sweet, and before the frost, the sweet potato is generally not sweet, although he doesn't quite know what the reason is, but this is not the time to pursue these things.

I have to try all kinds of sweet potatoes at home!

"Here, do you want to try it?"

Wash several of them, one for Denise and Taylor.

Both of them were a little curious to hold this thing, this thing is also available abroad, in the early European navigators to South America, they found this thing, because this thing can be eaten, and it is more convenient to store, plus it can also supplement some vitamins, it is more popular with sailors, and these things are brought by sailors to many places on their routes.

At the end of the 15th century, Spain had begun to grow this thing, and at the end of the 16th century, this thing flowed into China through the South Seas, and it landed in Fujian at the beginning, and it was recorded in the Fuzhou Prefecture Chronicles, but it did not attract much attention at that time, and because it was spread from the "barbarian" side, the sweet potato was called sweet potato.

If the rulers of the time had paid a little attention to this matter, then a large-scale peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty could have been avoided.

After all, sweet potatoes are much higher than rice and wheat at that time, and the requirements for the growing place are not very harsh, they can be planted in front of the house and behind the house, the yield is also very high, and the vitality is even more tenacious.

Without these exiles, although the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule is still decaying, it will not be destroyed so quickly, after all, although the combat effectiveness of the army of millions of exiles is not strong, the destructive power to the economy of various places is too powerful.

"This is a sweet potato, right?"

Taylor is a country music representative, and she knows a lot about the countryside, and she's seen this sweet potato, which is grown by a lot of people in New Mexico and then sold to starch processing factories to extract starch, and there are plenty of cabbage, using cheap labor from Mexico.
