The next day, Chu Jiaqiang, Chu Shengmin and others went out to help others cut the grain, leaving Ye Caiping and others at home to help dry the grain, so many people, even if it rains, there is no need to be afraid.

Three or four days passed, and the villagers had basically finished harvesting. At this time, the old and young are generally basking in the valley.

Sunning is a very important place in the countryside. As a large flat land used to dry crops such as rice and corn in the village, it is a very important public place in the village. The usually quiet village suddenly became bustling with people and lively, as if rushing to a market. Even the chickens and ducks in the village happily came to join in the fun, wandering around the barnyard.

The women went to remove the weeds from the ridges. Zhuang Li is to turn the straw to dry, and then form a group and pick it back for placement. When you don't want to go out to herd the cattle, or you don't have time, just throw a little for the buffalo to eat.

After the harvest, the countryside is a world of straw.

Chu Jiaqiang's house is Chu Shengmin's rice stalk, and Chu Jiaqiang and others put on the bamboo in groups and pick them back.

You may not know that these rice stalks may seem ordinary, but they are actually a treasure. In Guangdong Province, there are three treasures, one of which is these insignificant rice stalks in front of you.

Many people know that the three treasures of Guangdong Province are tangerine peel, old ginger and grass pole grass. Not to mention tangerine peel and ginger, the edible value is very large, and many families cannot do without them, which occupy a great position in people's lives.

Straw grass can be used for feed, fuel, fertilizer, cooking, building materials, mats, and shoes.

Lighting it can raise the temperature within the field to prevent cold air from frostbiting crops, and second, it can accumulate fertilizer to lay the foundation for cultivation in the coming year. After the fuel is turned into ash, it can be applied back to the field to fertilize the field, and if necessary, grass can be spread around the seedlings to protect the roots. In addition, alkaline water glutinous rice cake is used to burn ash with grass stalk grass to obtain alkali. Of course, burning rice stalks is not advocated now, mainly because of high air pollution.

In the past, the grass straw on the roof had the effect of water skiing, so that rainwater could not be infiltrated. Between the bricks, glutinous rice slurry is mixed with lime, and grass is added as the bond. The fiber made from the straw can be made into plates, which is a new process. In the past, thick straw straw could be spread under straw mats in rural houses for heating.

In the city, the private dish is used as the signature straw fragrant meat of the private house, and the fat pork is also used, which is cooked with straw grass, which is not only enough to return to the local taste, but also allows the pork to absorb its fragrance, and the entrance is permeable.

In many ethnic minority areas, the soles of their embroidered cloth shoes are double-layered from the heel to the front of the cuff, the toe of the shoe is upturned, and the face is embroidered with flowers and birds, and there are many stumbling blocks. The soles of hexagonal eye-ear fine straw shoes are woven with glutinous straw straw straw.

"How are these straws tied? I think the second uncle is very fast! Zhou Furong didn't quite understand how it was tied. I saw the second uncle tie a pile of straws with a thick waist together, and then pulled out a few straws, made a ring more than ten or twenty centimeters from the top, and then pumped hard, and completed one.

"Hey! Don't dismantle it! Will you tie it up in a while? "Chu Jiaqiang saw that Zhou Furong was about to take it apart, analyze it, and see how the second uncle tied it.

"It's amazing, it seems to be pretty tight." Li Quan and others were also surprised. The year before, they didn't participate in picking straws, and they happened to go out to play at that time.

Moreover, Chu Jiaqiang's family didn't want these straws last time, and let the villagers pick them up if they wanted them. Generally, people who have cattle at home will take them back, and they are here, in fact, except for feeding the cows, they are not very useful.

"This binding method is very simple, you can see it twice, but to achieve the level of my second uncle, you still need to practice." Chu Jiaqiang said. According to the age of his second uncle, in the countryside, there are not 10,000 groups of tied straws, but also 8,000 groups, right?

When he saw that Chen Wu's people were interested, he showed them a demonstration. First, fold the straws neatly and make them into bundles about the size of a bucket. Then pull out a few straws and knead them into a hemp rope shape. Wrap around more than 10 or 20 centimeters from the tail end, stuff a section of the straw into the binding mark, and pump the other end hard, and this is done.

Although it seems very simple, Zhou Furong and others still did it several times before they barely made a sample.

"The tie is too low, and it will be reversed when you pick it later." Chu Jiaqiang said to Li Quan. This guy is so careless that he's almost tied up in the middle. The middle is larger, and it is found that the straw is not long enough.

"Okay, you're not the material, let's pick it up quickly. After a while, it will be folded into a straw pile. Chu Jiaqiang said to them.

In Chujiazhai, the sun-dried straw will be piled into a straw pile, which is a huge cone. In this way, when it rains, it can only drench the outer layer, and when the sun comes out, it dries out quickly.

The straw piles stacked high like a hill are a paradise and a source of happiness for children. Lying on the soft straw pile and smelling the earthy scent of the straw, you can taste the warmth of ripeness, stability and pleasant taste.

In fact, the smell of straw is different in different environments, the straw that has been sun-dried is dry and warm, and the smell of rice is particularly strong and wafting around, while the straw that has been contained by the fog is much more low-key, and you can only smell the original smell when you get closer. But children don't need to experience this, they just need to feel good.

After picking it back, Chu Jiaqiang walked onto the big shelf with straw piles. Generally, these shelves have to be lifted off the ground, so that even if it rains heavily, the bottom will not be flooded by the rain.

In addition, in the middle of the shelf, there is often a large tree trunk erected to stabilize the entire straw pile, which can be said to be the spine of the straw pile, which is very important, otherwise the high straw pile, the wind is a little stronger, and it may be blown over.

"I'll go up and put it down! You just have to go down there. Chen Wu and Zhou Furong said in unison, they all wanted to go up to experience it, and they didn't want to hand the straw below.

"Just one person can come up, and the others will be moved below." Chu Jiaqiang said.

In the end, those people were rock-paper-scissors at Xiaobao's suggestion, and Li Quan won, so he followed Chu Jiaqiang to climb up. He caught the straw handed down below and folded it for the Chu family.

"I'm going to get a ladder, it's not high enough." Chu Shengmin said.

At this time, it was already stacked four or five meters above the ground, and it was impossible to throw it up. Although the straw is not heavy, it is bulky and has high air resistance, so it is not high to throw.

Who knew that the giant bear of the people grabbed a group of straw poles and gently sent them up, and they reached the top.

"Ahem! This guy is still amazing! Chen Wu and the others simply dodged away and let the giant bear behave.
