The founding day of the party has passed, and the weather has become hotter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 According to the international division of the four seasons, it is supposed to be autumn after June, but in fact, the fire starts in July. Moreover, in China, it is most scientific to divide the four seasons according to the Chinese lunar calendar.

After the small summer and the big summer, it is considered the beginning of autumn, and it will have to be next month.

But anyway, it's hot this season right now.

In order to cool down the geese, Xu Zhen had to accumulate some water in the ditch of some lemon fields, so that the geese could also have some place to play. Fortunately, it was still relatively cool under the lemon tree.

The corn grains in the field are getting fuller and fuller, and the corn that has been watered with the nutrient solution is ready to be picked and eaten. Because of the importance of supplementing the nutrient solution, Xu Zhen did not break off the corn cob that could have been sold for money, but waited for the corn to be fully ripe, and then took off the water and used it to feed pigs, chickens, geese and fish.

Usually, I just pick a few corns and cook them or roast them.

……

Lin Sen said that he was going to Xu Zhen's hometown, but because the business was too busy, he didn't come, this time he finally had some time, and he had to squeeze out some time to say anything, Lin Miaoyan heard that his brother was going to Sanchuan Province, and he said that he would go with him, Lin Sen had no choice, so he had to buy a ticket with Lin Miaoyan.

As usual, the two siblings didn't inform Xu Zhen and came over quietly.

Lin Miaoyan's most annoying thing during this time was the company's site selection, he almost walked the entire Ningjing City, and he couldn't find a more suitable place. She even wanted to buy a piece of land to build a building by herself, but it was obvious that the conditions were not suitable, firstly, because she did not have so much money, and secondly, she did not have enough time.

However, compared with the company's location, she is still more concerned about Xu Zhen's current situation.

Lin Sen didn't want the old sister to come with him, because he felt that he had something to say to Xu Zhen and couldn't let the old sister know too much, but the old sister insisted on coming, and he couldn't help it.

When the two appeared at Xu Zhen's house, Xu Zhen broke a few corn cobs and carried them home. He plans to grind the juicy corn with a stone mill and make some jelly and tortillas to try it.

Seeing Lin Sen and Lin Miaoyan, Xu Zhen was very happy, although the two brothers and sisters came without saying hello like last time, Xu Zhen understood them. It's impossible for people to come without saying hello, and you can still get people to go, no.

"While it's still dark, hurry up and get to work, and we'll have something to eat at night." Xu Zhen brought two stools for Lin Sen and Lin Miaoyan, and then poured tea for the brothers and sisters.

In fact, Lin Sen was secretly looking around as soon as he got home, but he was a little depressed that he didn't find Xu Huan's shadow, to be honest, since the last time, he had left Xu Huan's figure in his heart, and he couldn't erase it. He knew that he had quietly fallen in love with this woman, and he sometimes asked himself why this was, but he couldn't think of a reason for it.

"Where's my uncle and aunt?" Lin Sen asked.

"My dad went to the county to learn driving school, my mom picked vegetables in the field, and my sister and my little niece went to the county to learn dance. However, they will all be back in the evening. ”

Xu Zhen brought a plastic basket and began to coat the outside of the corn.

He has already eaten corn twice, and he feels that the taste is very good, tender and delicious, whether it is boiled or grilled, the taste is very good, this time he tried to make some corn jelly and corn tortillas to try it, and it must taste very good.

Lin Sen and Lin Miaoyan also learned the same.

"Oops, a lot of mosquitoes!" Lin Miaoyan was wearing shorts, and part of her thighs and all of her calves were exposed to mosquitoes.

In Xu Zhen's hometown, the small mosquitoes during the day and the big mosquitoes at night can all turn into vampires and kill people. Everywhere.

Xu Zhen's rough skin and thick flesh were basically gone, and when he saw that Lin Miaoyan kept fighting mosquitoes, he ordered a plate of mosquito coils, and then moved the electric fan out.

With electric fans and mosquito coils to drive away, there are significantly fewer mosquitoes.

"Isn't corn to be roasted or boiled? Xu Zhen, do you want to stir-fry the corn into grains? Lin Miaoyan just looked at the corn that could pinch out the milky white juice, and felt that the taste must be very good.

"In the evening, there is a corn dinner, all kinds of ways to eat, all kinds of flavors. As long as you like the taste. ”

At this time, Lin Yue'e also came back, and when she saw Xu Zhen's friend, she greeted her with a smile. Now her Mandarin level has improved a little, but it is difficult to change the vernacular accent that she has spoken for decades.

Four men joined the army of breaking corn kernels, and soon there were enough corn kernels needed, and a pot full of them was filled with that kind of porcelain pot.

Although Xu Zhen's house is at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, not far from Yuquan, the people in their yard usually drink water from a well in their yard, after all, there is actually a little distance from Yuquan to this side.

Although compared to Yuquan, the water of the old well in my house is not so sweet, but after all, it is a spring under the same Yuquan Mountain, this well is the same warm in winter and cool in summer, sweet and delicious, and it is not dry all year round, even if there is a great drought, there will be a steady stream of spring water gushing out in this well.

After picking the corn whiskers and washing them with well water a few times, Xu Zhen was ready to grind.

In the past, the stone mill was a necessary living tool for every farmer, but now the time used is getting less and less, and Xu Zhen doesn't know how many years his family has not personally ground tofu or cold powder, so he goes directly to the town to buy it.

Fortunately, Uncle Xu Zhen's house also has a stone mill, which is occasionally used.

Lin Sen really hadn't used this thing, he didn't know how to use it, and Lin Miaoyan was even more curious.

Xu Zhen washed the stone mill of his uncle's house with water several times, whether it was a grinding eye or a stone trough, and cleaned it cleanly to ensure that there would be no dregs and sundries left, and then he began to grind corn with his mother.

There is a big difference between the stone mill in the south and the stone mill in the north that the stone mill in the south is larger, unlike the stone mill in the north, which can be turned by hand.

Xu Zhenjia's stone mill must also use the principle of lever and horizontal torque to rotate. Of course, the basic principle is the same. That is to use the weight of the stone mill itself to grind the corn into flour.

There is a wooden wedge on the side of the stone mill, there is a hole in the middle of the wedge, a T-shape, and the rocker that bends in the front section will be inserted into this hole, and then one or two people hold the end of the T-shaped and rotate the stone mill at a uniform speed according to the appropriate rhythm and strength.

It seems that this work is not strenuous, but there is still a certain amount of skill, Xu Zhen has not touched this thing for many years, and at the beginning, he was a little unaccustomed to it.

But this grinding has clearly become a testing ground for the Lin Sen siblings.

Although it doesn't take much strength to push and grind, it is obvious that Lin Miaoyan's strength is not enough, and Lin Sen has a bad balance. In either case, the mill cannot be pushed. This made Lin Sen and Lin Miaoyan very unconvinced. (To be continued.) )
