Chapter 442: Inspiration from the Empty Pod
For villagers who don't have the ability to buy private land, dividing the land is the root of life, if it is really because of Han Yongsong's family and everyone has no mouth to divide the land, it is equivalent to taking the lives of the whole village to Han Yongsong to bury him, and with Han Yongsong's consistent behavior, he can really do this kind of black heart.

At that moment, several old men had a serious discussion, in view of Han Yongsong's poor performance in the first half of the year, he must be strictly disciplined in the second half of the year, and when he can get out of bed, he must be urged to go to the field every day, and he is absolutely not allowed to rest until he finishes the ration of work.
Even Han Xiucai has been included in the scope of "transformation", he is not out of Ding yet, and he is not teaching in the township school, and it is impossible for him to stay at home all day and night without production, many old people in the village like Uncle Han still go to the fields every day, Han Xiucai is such a strong laborer who eats every day and does not work, which is too much to say, so he must also work in the field.
Hearing this, Xiuniang's mother and daughter opened their mouths and couldn't close for a long time.
That is Han Xiucai, who has never eaten in front of him when he didn't serve his food, and didn't drink until he didn't drink the water, and now he actually wants him to go to the ground?
Xiuniang and the eldest girl both said that the picture was completely unimaginable.
Of course, how Han Xiucai's father and son will live next, Xiuniang and they have no time to care, after all, their family still has a lot of things to do.
Nearly 100 acres of beans are going to be harvested, and if they are not harvested, all the pods will have to be burst open and fall into the field.
So a group of strong laborers left behind women who were not suitable for rough work and rough hands, such as Liang Juan, Liu's daughter-in-law and others, and also left Aunt Qin and Eternal Daughter-in-law, who were responsible for cooking, and all went to the ground to harvest beans.
The next day, Grandpa and Han Yong came to help, and even Grandma came over to help peel the pods.
This bean is different from other crops, when it is ripe, the bean is wrapped in the pod, after the pod is picked, it has to be manually peeled off, which can harvest the beans, and it is different from peanuts, peanuts can also be dried in the shell, but if the beans have been hidden in the pods, it is easy to have insects, and peanuts can be sold in the shell, but the beans are not sold with the pods, so these beans are put away, but it is more labor-intensive than peanuts.
A basket of pods was carried back from the ground and poured on the flat stone floor in the front yard to dry, while Xiuniang and other women who couldn't do heavy work sat aside, chatting and peeling the pods without stopping, different beans, thrown into different dustpans, and the pods after peeling the beans were all thrown into a corner, in the eyes of the farmers who were used to saving, the pods also had a purpose, but they could not be lost.
Holding a broom, he swept some scattered empty pods into a pile, and Han Chuxue looked at the large pile of empty pods, and he couldn't figure it out.
"Mother, what can these things be used for when they are dried?"
The beanstalk is left in the ground and rots naturally as fertilizer, so shouldn't these empty pods also be poured back into the ground to make fertilizer?
Knowing that the little girl didn't know much about farming, Xiuniang smiled good-naturedly, "The skin of these pods is relatively hard, and it is difficult to rot them all by dipping them alone, and if you dry them, it will be much better." ”
The eldest girl also added with a smile, "Moreover, when it is dried, it can also be used to make a fire, little sister, don't look at them as just a small one, they can be caught fire by drying them and throwing them into the firewood one by one." ”
Grandma Han also nodded and smiled, "If it is burned to ashes, it can also be used as fertilizer and poured back into the ground." ”
Aunt Qin added lively, "This grass and wood ash can still be used to wash clothes." ”
As soon as these words fell, a group of women laughed understandingly, most of the poor farmers could not afford soap beans, and they usually used grass and wood ash for laundry.
Han Chuxue, who listened humbly to the teaching, but when he heard Aunt Qin's words, there was a snap in his head, as if some memory had been touched.
Squatting on the ground and stunned for a while, just when the eldest girl noticed that her expression was wrong and wanted to call her, this Wa Huo jumped up from the ground, "Yes, grass and wood ash!" Master Liu, I thought of it, I thought of it......"
Seeing her running away with excitement shouting and screaming, all the female compatriots couldn't react.
Blinking, Aunt Qin wondered and asked, "Erya, what's wrong?" ”
Xiuniang shook her head blankly, but the daughter-in-law of the Liu family saw the room that Han Chuxue rushed into and understood a little.
"Didn't the girl think of a new way to deal with hemp?"
The house was originally next to the kitchen, during this time the Liu family father and son were obsessed with hemp, in order not to affect the work of others, they emptied the room, and made a stove on the wall connected to the kitchen, so as to connect to the flue of the kitchen, and then the father and son stayed in the room except for sleeping, and Han Chuxue just ran into the house.
Looking at the direction where the cold snow disappeared, Xiuniang's mother and daughter sighed in a trance.
Han Chuxue has always felt that the color of the linen cloth woven by her family is not white enough, and they have also heard about it, during this time, the father and son of the Liu family have been busy with this matter, but it seems that some have no clue, and although Han Chuxue is not like them, her whole heart is on it, but she always remembers it, not to mention looking at the baby's reaction now, it is really possible because of this.
It's just that what can grass ash have to do with linen?
Not to mention that Xiuniang couldn't figure it out, even after listening to Han Chuxue's words, the father and son of the Liu family were also confused.
"Girl, is this ash really as useful as you say?"
Han Chuxue nodded excitedly, "Of course it works, do you think, why do the villagers like to use grass ash instead of soap beans to wash clothes?" ”
The father and son of the Liu family said without thinking about it, "Because I don't have money to buy soap beans." ”
Cold and early snow......
Well, that's a reason, and it should be the main reason, but that's not what she's going to talk about right now.
"But there are so many things, why do they only think of using plant ash? Why did the women know that they could only wash their clothes with ashes? ”
This one......
The father and son of the Liu family shook their heads blankly.
"That's because the plant ash is like soap beans, alkaline, and has a good role in removing grease."
The eyes of the Liu family father and son lit up, this sound quite reasonable.
Han Chuxue continued to say excitedly, "So, we can also try to treat hemp with plant ash, it can wash clothes, maybe it can also wash hemp, so that its color becomes whiter." ”
What are the properties of the glue on the hemp fiber, the cold and early snow have not been studied, and it is not clear, but according to the daily life, whether it is glue or paste, as long as it is hot and bad, it will emit a pungent sour smell, so after the hemp is boiled, will it also be acidic, so when it encounters alkaline plant ash, will the two not have chemical reactions.
Although the father and son of the Liu family do not understand any chemical reactions, the two have rich experience in treating anesthesia, and the more they listen, the more they feel that the method that Han Chuxue said is feasible. (To be continued.) )
