The first is to ask for pink.

Soybeans are planted now, and it is estimated that they will not be harvested until late autumn. At that time, edamame was naturally a rarity. Edamame in salt water is a popular appetizer here in Liaodong Province, and it is also a favorite snack for children.

For example, at this time, the soybean pods are full, and it is a good time to sell edamame. As long as you do a little math, you will know that the income from selling edamame is higher than the income from selling soybeans in the future, but there are not many farmers who are willing to pick green pods to sell, let alone pick and eat them themselves.

It's not because the dealers don't know how to settle accounts, but because there is some kind of ingrained thinking in their minds that is restricting their actions. Crops are planted to harvest grain and feed themselves. Chapter 508 The act of picking the crops before they are fully ripe is spoiling the crops in their eyes.

There is nothing more unforgivable in the faith of the harvester than the spoiling of the crop.

To put it bluntly, the bankers do not have the business mind and consciousness to do so. In their minds, crops are directly related to food and clothing, that is, life and survival.

For example, when one or two sorghum trees are harvested in autumn, the maximum amount of sorghum that can be beaten will not exceed one catty. The value of this pound of sorghum will not exceed ten cents. But if one or two sorghum trees are spoiled in someone's land, it will be a big deal. Zhuang households are not afraid of not having living money in their hands, they are afraid of not having food in their hands.

The current conditions of Lian Man'er's family, if it is said that they want to eat edamame, or eat boiled tender huāsheng, then it should be completely fine. But the truth is, no. Lian Shouxin will let Lian Man'er take the money to buy it at the market. He didn't care about the money, but the crops in the field couldn't be moved.

The Zhou family values Lian Lan'er so much, so naturally he also looks at the gold lock and the silver lock differently, and almost responds to his request. But when there was no separation. The golden lock and the silver lock followed Lian Lan'er to the thirty-mile camp to see the old man Lian and the Zhou family. They offered to eat edamame and huā sheng, but Zhou did not dare to agree. Because Chapter 508 Mai Zixiang is known to the Zhou family, even the old man can't pass the level.

Nothing to do with stinginess. Nor is it a tendon. This is what the banker has agreed on, and no one will break it. It seems that if the crops in the field are touched before the harvest is confiscated, it will vent the anger of the earth and anger the gods, which will affect the harvest of the year, and even after that. It will be abandoned by this field, and no longer hope to have a good harvest.

Lian Man'er understands that this is a kind of heartfelt awe of the villagers for the land and a year's labor, and raises it to a kind of moral norm in an agrarian society.

Even Man'er respected this. At the beginning of spring, she and Gorou, Lian Zhi'er, and Xiaoqi were in the open space between the fruit trees on the manor. I planted some huā and soybeans, and said okay, this is what I planted to keep a few of them for a few tooth sacrifices. Lian Shouxin and Zhang not only did not object, but felt that several children were sensible. The two of them also worked hard to help.

The soybeans planted in this second crop can be sold for edamame when the time comes, Lian Man'er and Lian Shouxin discussed for a long time, and Lian Shouxin agreed.

The cabbage and soybeans on the acres of land here have been planted, and the wheat in the yard has been dried out, and it is time to fight again.

Threshing the wheat. This can be done in two ways. One is the same way as the threshing of millet, which is to spread the sun-dried ears of wheat on the compacted ground, and then press them in a circle with a stone mill. There is a cow and two mules pulling the stone mill, and this process can be carried out much faster than the manual pulling of the stone mill in the past.

The other is the method of manual beating, which is the same as the way of processing sorghum ears. After being beaten. Some of the wheat was left on the ears of wheat, which had to be scraped with your hands on the shovel to make it clean. Of course, after that, you still have to go through the stone mill.

The two approaches complement each other.

After being pressed again and again by a stone mill, the grain of wheat came out of the skin. In order to completely separate the wheat grains from these skins, there is a process that needs to be carried out, that is, the lifting field.

After the lifting field, the remaining wheat husks must be turned out with a dustpan, and at the same time, some other miscellaneous items, such as small stones, small clods of soil, etc., must be picked out, and only the clean and peeled wheat grains are left, which can be loaded into bags and stored in the barn.

Lian Man'er's family received the first bag of wheat, weighed it, and sent it to the mill to grind flour. The family can't wait to taste the "fine grains" produced in their fields.

Soon, the noodles were grinding back. When she went to grind the noodles, Lian Man'er instructed that as long as she grinded coarsely, she opened the bag and saw the wheat noodles that were slightly rough and had the color of chaff, Lian Man'er was not surprised, on the contrary, she was very happy. As soon as she opened the bag, the faint fragrance of wheat emitted made her even more satisfied.

Even Shouxin, Zhang, Wulang, Lian Zhier and Xiao Qi also came around to watch. Home-milled wheat flour is not as white and fine as the white flour bought in the grain store, and then this wheat aroma is not found in those white flour that has been finely ground and transported long distances.

"It looks pretty good." Even keep your word.

The noodle mill is back, so naturally I want to eat it.

"Mother, use this noodle at night, let's steam steamed buns and eat them." Lian Man'er proposed.

"Okay." Zhang nodded happily, scooped up a pot of wheat noodles, and began to mix the noodles.

"It's a lot of energy." Amino, Zhang said.

Lian Man'er washed her hands, tried it, and nodded. The flour milled in spring wheat is more viscous than that milled in winter wheat, which is a difference in variety. However, the wheat fragrance is not inferior, at least Lian Man'er thinks so.

For dinner, a large drawer of steamed steamed buns with wheat noodles was served. As expected, the color of this steamed bun is a little black, and it doesn't look as delicate as the white-flour steamed bun, but the wheat fragrance is still there.

Smell the fragrance, how does it taste that?

Lian Man'er took a steamed bun and broke it open. The steamed bread of this wheat flour is not as delicate as the white flour, and when you bite into it, the taste is slightly rougher than the white flour, and the tenacity is also greater, not so noisy, just like Zhang's said, "quite energetic".

But this taste is enough......

"It's delicious." Lian Shouxin, Wulang, Lian Zhi'er, Xiao Qi and Lian Man'er commented successively.

Zhang also took a steamed bun and ate two bites, and a smile immediately bloomed on his face.

"It's delicious. If you want me to say, it's better than the white noodles. Zhang smiled.

After dinner, the family always thought that this wheat flour was good.

A few days later, Zhang took Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er to take the new wheat and bread dumplings, roll noodles, and steam huā rolls and buns.

"Except for the black spots, which are not so fine, nothing else is worse than the white noodles we bought." Zhang's Road.

Indeed, this wheat flour and noodles can be rolled out with a very thin dumpling skin, and noodles can also be rolled out, and they are as strong as white noodles and will not break.

After a family's tasting, Lian Man'er is even more sure that as long as this wheat noodle is sold cheaper than white noodles, many people must be willing to buy it.

And by this time, all the wheat had been beaten, weighed, and put into the granary.

Ten acres of spring wheat produced a total of 3,450 catties of wheat.

Even the Man'er family grows wheat on the best land, with plenty of manure and meticulous care. Even if other families do not have these conditions and the harvest is slightly poor, then it is completely possible to promote planting.

Because of grinding new wheat noodles, Lian Man'er's family sent some out, steamed steamed buns were sent to the temple again, and the dumplings were sent to Wu Yuchang's family.

It's just an ordinary exchange between the villagers, and before Lian Man'er could make any more moves, someone came to the door, asked Lian Shouxin about the planting and harvesting of wheat, and proposed to buy wheat seeds from Lian Shouxin. It turned out that when Lian Man'er's family planted wheat, it received a lot of attention. Now that everyone saw her family's wheat harvest and the food made from the ground wheat flour was delicious, the idea of planting wheat also arose.

Even if you don't sell wheat in the market, you can keep it for your own family and eat it, which improves your life. Even if there is not much land and the family is not wealthy, you can grow wheat, as long as you have more energy to serve, when the harvest is time, sell it to the market, and then buy sorghum and millet at a relatively low price, you can eat more than before.

"I see that we can sell wheat seeds, this is the price, how can we decide?" Lian Shouxin discussed with his wife and children.

Liaodong Mansion has not yet grown wheat, and if you want to buy wheat seeds, you have to go to other provinces, such as Hejian Mansion, to buy them, as they did at the beginning. This is obviously not something that anyone can do. The big guy is naturally more willing to come to Lian Man'er's house to buy it.

"Let's buy wheat seeds in Hejian Mansion, and it's twenty-six yuan per catty." Lian Man'er thought about it for a while, and said, "Then let's sell wheat seeds, let's set 30 yuan a catty." ”

Counting the round-trip car money purchased by the foreign government, this price is preferential, of course, this does not count the labor.

The wheat seeds were set at 30 yuan a catty, and even Shouxin was busy leading long-term workers to screen wheat seeds, after all, not all the wheat harvested could be planted.

At dinner that day, the family ate another meal of dumplings filled with wheat noodles and gourds. If you grow wheat at home, you can eat it as much as you like sorghum rice noodles, and the gourd is produced in your own vegetable garden, and you don't need meat, as long as you put a little more oil and season it well, you can eat a meal of dumplings with fragrant dough and watery filling.

After eating, Lian Man'er took out the account book, and sold a lot of wheat seeds these days, and made a lot of money.

"To sell seeds to others, of course, we will choose the best, and we will have to keep some ...... for ourselves," Lian Shouxin said.

The big guys are planning to plant spring wheat next year, but even Man'er is already thinking about other things.

“…… We also have to buy wheat seeds. Lian Man'er said.

The family was stunned.

"It's not spring wheat, it's winter wheat." Lian Man'er said.
