Thank you for the support of the Phantom Dream update ticket, as well as He Jibo's reward support! a1398796 The generosity of this brother makes the mountain village grateful!

When I returned home, my second aunt was also present, she was here to deliver peanuts, most of which were so many in half a basket.

"Second aunt, you haven't finished pulling out the peanuts, have you? I'm going to help in the afternoon. Chu Jiaqiang immediately said that he knew that the second uncle's family planted very few sweet potatoes, and many of them were planted with peanuts in the field.

According to the situation in previous years, his peanuts had two or three thousand catties of dry goods. Generally, except for the peanut seeds that you eat by yourself and the peanut seeds of next year, the rest are pressed for oil. However, so much oil is definitely not eaten by yourself, most of it is sold, and only twenty or thirty catties are left for your own use.

In rural areas, many people eat lard, and vegetable oil is more expensive, and everyone is reluctant to eat it. In fact, there is another reason, lard is more fragrant than vegetable oil, but some people think that lard is unhygienic. Because peanut oil looks very clear, people in Chujiazhai call it clear oil.

"Are you done with your own business? Those peanuts and your second uncle and I don't need five days. There are many guests today, so don't go and stay at home with the guests! "The second aunt doesn't know if Chu Jiaqiang is busy now, and Tang Fu is here, so the master can't run away and leave other guests at home, right? How impolite.

Chu Jiaqiang didn't fight with her, and asked her to make a phone call and ask the second uncle to come over for dinner together. At the same time, a large pot of brine peanuts was also boiled. Everyone had a hasty meal, and a bunch of people sat together peeling peanuts and eating them.

"The country stuff is good, authentic and tasteful! Peanuts in the city smell good, but they don't taste like that. "Tang Fat Man eats the fastest, don't look at his fat hands, this guy is very flexible, and he doesn't eat ambiguously at all.

Xu Xiu nodded: "Many of the peanuts sold on the street are peeled open at one end, and the smell of peanuts comes out when they are boiled, so they smell good, otherwise how can you attract them to buy them?" But it tastes no good, because the taste is gone. And peanut cultivation is not the same, it is certainly not as delicious as in the countryside. ”

After eating peanuts, except for the two who played chess, as well as Yan Tianzhi, the others went to the field to help. This made the second uncle very embarrassed, and he blocked him many times, but these people were determined to follow.

The second uncle's land is on a gentle hillside, almost half of the hillside is planted with peanuts, and he is also a big peanut household in the village, and he is the one who grows the most peanuts. According to the price of more than eight yuan of vegetable oil in rural areas, there is also an income of nearly 10,000 yuan, which is a considerable income in the village.

This is also the reason why many people are reluctant to eat peanut oil, nearly nine yuan a catty, who can stand it? The lard costs three or four yuan a catty, and when you buy it, you fry it in an iron pan, and after cooling, it is solid oil, and it is particularly hard in winter.

When they came to the ground, Chu Jiaqiang and the second uncle pulled it in front, and the others stayed in the back and picked it up in the basket.

"Fortunately, the mud in these mountains is relatively loose, so it is not difficult to pull!" Chu Jiaqiang said. If it is planted in farmland, it is definitely not so easy. The main reason is that the soil of the farmland is relatively tight, and the peanuts are too tight in the soil, and when the seedlings are pulled, many peanuts are not brought out, and they have to be dug by hand, which is more troublesome.

"There is little water in the mountains, and the wind blows frequently, and there is some sand mixed in the soil, of course it is loose!" The second uncle smiled.

Tang Fatzi didn't know if he was here to work or to eat. After I arrived, I still peel peanuts and eat them. Peanuts can be eaten raw and cooked, and eating them raw has a special taste.

"Fat brother, don't sit, there are a lot of yellow silk ants on the ground." Chu Jiaqiang reminded.

Yellow silk ant is also a name of Chujiazhai, it is a kind of yellow ant, very small, if you don't pay attention, it is easy to be ignored, generally in the loess more. This kind of ant is quite a headache, it will not bite when it first climbs on your feet, and it will only bite when it reaches the base of your thighs and other places where the skin is more tender. Of course, as long as you are not a nervous person, you will generally feel it when it climbs on your feet.

Another thing is that there are a lot of these ants, and sometimes the whole field is densely packed, which is very harmful to the crops. They are also not picky eaters and eat corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts, potatoes and even rice.

"That's right, you have to be careful, it's better to hold the hem of your pants high, otherwise it will climb up your pants and we won't feel it. It's not big, but it hurts to bite someone. The second aunt also reminded immediately.

Wan Lao and they are all experienced people, and they don't need to be reminded by the second aunt, they know how to do it.

Hearing the solemn awakening of the second aunt, Tang Fatzi didn't dare to sit down anymore, and squatted like everyone else. However, with his figure, squatting is very uncomfortable. After a while, he ran to help pull out the seedlings.

"Huh! Mouse, this mouse is so big! Tang Fat shouted.

"It's a mountain rat, and this thing is a scourge spirit." Chu Jiaqiang said through gritted teeth.

Some people are also called mountain mouses, and when it comes to mountain rats, many people may think of Longhu Mountain and Wuyi Mountain, and the mountain mice in those two places are the most famous. It mainly eats shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, sweet potatoes, etc., and the locals call it "shiitake rats".

But in fact, mountain rats are all over the country, very picky about eating, sweet potatoes are often not eaten after a few bites, and then continue to harm others, is one of the major pests in the countryside. It is precisely in this way that this mountain rat has good meat quality, delicious taste, and is a high-quality nutritional supplement, nutritional hygiene. It tastes crispy and tough, with a strong bite and an endless aftertaste.

In Chujiazhai, many children will use iron cages and other mechanisms to catch mountain rats, and go back to stew with black beans, which is very delicious. In other places, there are also people who cut it clean and then air dry it, becoming "mountain rat drying". Dried mountain rat is also an authentic flavor snack, and it is also the best dish for Hakka people. Rat's meat nourishes the kidneys and strengthens the body, and is also effective in treating children's bedwetting.

Because this kind of rat also often eats bamboo shoots, bamboo heels, etc., many people may think that mountain rats are bamboo rats, but they are not. The bamboo rat is the largest, with a short tail and two distinctly large plate teeth, which makes it more like a rabbit. Mountain rats are larger than house mice, do not have the smell of house mice, and are much more hygienic than house rats that often go out in dirty places such as garbage dumps.

"Mountain rats? Good stuff, good stuff! Catch it back and stew. As soon as Tang Fatzi opened his mouth, he ate it, which made people cry and laugh.

"It's not easy to catch, thief! Walk faster than a ghost. If you really want to eat, put a few iron cages next to you, and you will have a harvest tomorrow morning. This thing is the most greedy, as long as you put something in the iron cage, it will definitely run in. Chu Jiaqiang suggested.

Although the mountain rat is very good, it is often blinded by greed, and even if it knows that it is a trap, it will not help but jump down.

"Good, good! Find a few iron cages next night, I ate them once in the north last time, and they tasted excellent. Tang Fat Man said immediately.

The number of people is the strength of the great, and in three hours he packed up three long pieces of land, and the two baskets he picked up were full. Everyone also helped to spread the seedlings of picked peanuts on the ground to dry, and when they were dried, they would be of great use. From time to time, a layer of cow dung is laid on top of the cattle pen. First, you can cover cow dung to make the living environment of cattle better. Second, it can be fermented with cow dung to become farmhouse fertilizer.

The second uncle and Chu Jiaqiang each picked up a load and went back, and washed the mud by the river. It's very simple, the whole basket invades the water, but the water does not exceed the top layer of the basket, and then throw it a few times, stir it a few times with your hands, and go back and forth a few times, and it will be very clean. Of course, the washed peanuts should be dried in time, otherwise they will not only become moldy, but even sprout!
