Chapter 348: It's so fragrant! (Second Update!) )
Finally, it's potato harvest time.
Villagers rushed to the fields to dig potatoes.
When they dug up the potatoes with black dirt one by one, they were amazed.
There are so many harvests of this potato.
If you do the math, it should be much higher than planting sorghum and wheat, right?
Moreover, the planting cycle of potatoes is significantly shorter, and you basically don't need to care about one in the field.
Potatoes are cold and drought tolerant, and it's hard to believe compared to other delicate crops.
He Laohan is obviously the happiest person.
He had previously pushed the public to plant some potatoes instead.
At that time, his mother-in-law and son were not very optimistic, but now He Laohan has to have a good time.
He put the potatoes dug out of the ground into sacks one by one, and carried them home with his own boys.
There are many ways to make this potato. In addition to the vinegared shredded potatoes introduced by the chief earlier, the most commonly used is steamed mashed potatoes.
The steamed mashed potatoes are said to be delicious and can be eaten as a staple food.
He Laohan couldn't wait to try it.
He asked his mother-in-law to take out some potatoes, wash them and peel them.
There is no technical content in steaming potatoes, and according to the cannaga, the steamed mashed potatoes are extremely soft and melt in the mouth.
He Laohan is still looking forward to this.
He tasted the shredded potatoes and it was crispy.
He was looking forward to the different tastes.
He asked his mother-in-law to put the potatoes in the pot to steam, and he walked around the stove, stopping from time to time to glance at the pot.
"I said, "Daddy, this potato can really be steamed into puree?"
Seeing the yellow-faced woman ask, He Laohan stiffened his neck and said, "That's not it?" The chief said that the steamed mashed potatoes have a very soft taste, and even toothless old ladies can eat them. ”
"Huh? Can it be so evil? ”
"Hmph, won't you find out in a while?"
He Laohan exhaled and said, "If it's really delicious, our family will have to eat potatoes at least once a day in the future." ”
He Laohan thought that he would eat potatoes at home and save all the rice and noodles to sell, so that he could save a lot of money and marry his son back in the future.
He doesn't have too many pursuits in his life, he just wants to watch his son marry a daughter-in-law and give him a big fat grandson.
The old He family has been passed down for three generations, and there is only one seedling in his generation, He Daniu.
He didn't want any accidents, so that even if he went underground in the future, it would be difficult to explain to his ancestors.
It's best to have a few more sons, so that Lao He's family will be prosperous, and there will be no need to worry about cutting off the incense in the future.
In the past, he did not dare to ask his son to have more children. It's not easy to raise a child these days. Multiple children are more mouths, one child is still alive tightly, if there are more than a few families who are not allowed to drink the northwest wind?
But now it's a different story.
Facts have proven that potatoes are indeed very productive, and this thing is very filling after eating, and the most important thing is that it will not be like Guanyin soil that can't be pulled out after eating.
He Laohan felt that as long as he took out more than half of the land to grow potatoes, it would be enough to feed a large family.
The way to live for the rich and the poor for the poor.
As long as a family like him can eat enough and not starve to death, it is the greatest joy.
As for such a thing as literacy and reading, He Laohan did not dare to ask for extravagance.
Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and don't be horses and cattle with children and grandchildren.
If the juniors really have a future, he will naturally feel happy as an elder, and there will be light on his face.
But he wouldn't deliberately ask for anything, after all, he also knew that it was not easy for people like them to live, and it was too difficult to come out.
"Boss, how long does this take to steam?"
The voice of his mother-in-law pulled He Laohan back.
"Well, I'm thinking about steaming for half an hour first."
He Laohan had never steamed mashed potatoes before, and everything was crossing the river by feeling the stones.
"Okay, then steam for half an hour."
People always feel that time flies slowly in the process of anxiously waiting.
He Laohan is no exception.
finally suffered for half an hour, and he urged his mother-in-law to open the pot.
After taking out the plate containing potatoes, He Laohan couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth.
At this time, the potatoes were already steamed soft as puree, and He Laohan couldn't help but light up when he tasted it.
"It smells so good! you, kid, come and try it too. ”
He Liu suspiciously picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and the moment the mashed potatoes touched his tongue, the pores of the whole person seemed to be opened.
Tsk, it's so fragrant!
The things she'd eaten before weren't as delicious as mashed potatoes combined.
Steamed cakes and steamed buns often have to be soaked in hot water to eat.
And this mashed potato melts in your mouth, and it's really like what the owner says, and a toothless old lady can eat it.
It's a pity that her mother went early, otherwise she would have sent the mashed potatoes to the old lady's mouth to pay respect.
"It's delicious, it's really delicious. Boss, let's steam a little more, shall we? ”
He Liu put the mashed potatoes into his mouth while shedding tears, but He Laohan glanced at her and said, "Look at your little bit of interest." This potato is here, and it doesn't have wings or legs, so it can't run on its own? If you want to eat, you can eat every day in the future, eat it every day, and make sure that you can eat enough. Now, I'm going to go to the lieutenant chief and report to him, and we have to increase the number of potatoes we will plant in the future. ”
"Huh? Do you have to report this kind of thing to the lieutenant chief? ”
He Liu's mouth was as big as a goose egg, and his face was in disbelief.
"Women, long hair, short knowledge. Do you think this mashed potatoes are delicious, but do others think they don't taste good? If you don't report to the lieutenant governor now, in the future, people will report, tell me who the lieutenant will follow first? ”
He Liu suddenly realized, nodded suddenly, and said: "It makes sense, you don't want to go quickly." It's too late to go. ”
Concerned about personal interests, He Liu was very excited.
He Laohan said triumphantly: "Well, I'll go now, you can also give your son mashed potatoes to taste, don't just think about eating yourself." ”
He Liu glared at him fiercely and said, "What are you talking about?" That's my son too, there are good things I can forget about my own son? ”
"That's good, I'll go and go back."
He Laohan was too lazy to quarrel with this yellow-faced woman, so he took a step and walked through the courtyard gate.
Out of the yard, he walked towards the entrance of the village, and saw many people rushing to the entrance of the village along the way, and he felt a little bottomless.
Kindness?
Wouldn't these people also go to the chief to report?
Is the response so fast?
He Laohan didn't want to be left behind, so he couldn't help but speed up his steps.
This kind of thing is not too late, and only when you go early can you leave a deeper impression on the insider's heart.
