Chapter Forty-Eight: Eat Fresh Corn on the Cob

The Huang family used to be in the north, and that place was only suitable for growing wheat, there were no paddy fields, and rice had not been cut at all.

But Huang Liu used to be a good hand at work at home, and after slowly cutting for a while, and after Huang Yiyun's guidance on the side, he also groped for the feel and felt it, holding the rice with his left hand, and cutting it with a sickle in his right hand, after cutting a handful of rice, the hand kept grabbing another handful of rice grass, and the other hand cut it up, and so on.

It wasn't until the rice in his left hand was incomplete that he stopped and piled it up crossed.

However, when Huang Yiyun was cutting rice, he saw that there were a lot of fat snails in the paddy field, not to mention, and he also saw a lot of small holes the size of adult fingers.

Huang Yiyun's heart moved slightly, and then he shook his head.

I don't know how long it has passed, Zhang Lin finally found out that Huang Yiyun and his mother were cutting rice in front of their house, and after cutting a lot, he said, "Oh, brother and sister of the Huang family, didn't I say that I have a lot of family and don't use it to help, how can I be embarrassed?" ”

"When my aunt said this, my family would like to thank my aunt's family. I'm embarrassed to do it now. Huang Yiyun smiled and replied.

"What?" Zhang Lin has only heard of thanking the people who came to help, and there is no reason to thank the master for coming to help, and Zhang Lin asked after a while.

"Has my family settled down in an acre of paddy field this year? My family came from the north again, and I have never planted paddy fields or cut rice, but now I use my aunt's paddy fields to try my hand and accumulate some work experience, and when my family plants rice, I will not be so in a hurry, which is not to thank my aunt. Huang Yiyun replied with a smile.

"This ......, this, you kid really can talk. The aunt who said it had nothing to refute. "It's not just as Zhang Lin's said, Huang Yiyun's family came to help, saying that they came to accumulate labor experience, in fact, it is not a high-sounding reason to help their own family and not let them refuse, this reason is really not good for Village Chief Zhang and Zhang Lin's two to refuse.

After Zhang Lin and Village Chief Zhang glanced at each other, Village Chief Zhang nodded to his mother-in-law unconsciously.

Since he couldn't refuse, Zhang Lin waved at Huang Yiyun and said, "Yiyun, come here, my aunt will teach you to cut rice." ”

"Okay, auntie, I'll come here." Huang Yiyun quickly cut a way in front of himself and Zhang Lin.

"Let's keep our feet farther away so that the sickle in our hands doesn't cut. Grab the grass with the left hand, and use the grass sickle with the right hand to cut the grass, and grasp the rice one by one when cutting the rice. First, cut two or three sticks of rice, tie it tightly on the straw with a crop coat and grasp it tightly in your hands, and then cut seven or eight pieces of rice.

Of course, your baby is small and can't hold so many grass in your hands, so you can also grab a little less and put it aside, and continue to cut. Zhang Lin's hand did not stop the demonstration of the road.

"Auntie, is that so?" Huang Yiyun was in the south in his previous life, and his family also had paddy fields, and he had done farm work to cut rice since he was a child, so he naturally knew how to cut rice.

Huang Yiyun followed Zhang Lin's appearance, grabbing the grass with one hand and cutting it with the other.

After a few clicks, he cut a large piece of grass, and his proficiency was not much slower than that of Zhang Lin's frequent rice cutter.

"Eldest sister, how fast do you cut the rice? Compared to Brother Saburo, they are not much slower. The fourth brother on the side saw his eldest sister cutting the rice, and the speed was not slow.

"As long as you talk a lot, hurry up and pick up the ears of rice, and besides, the eldest sister brought a wooden bucket from the house, and by the way, she picked up the snails in the field. Don't be lazy. Huang Yiyun commanded with a smile.

"Okay, big sister." When the fourth brother heard that he was going to take the snail, he said with joy on his face.

Village Chief Zhang has a large family, there are seven people, and with the help of Huang Yiyun and his mother, it only took them about an hour to cut off an acre of land.

After cutting an acre of land, he walked non-stop to the next paddy field.

It is good to cut the rice in the paddy field as soon as possible, and then threshing and exposing it to the sun, and then closing the warehouse.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, Village Chief Zhang's family had already cut two acres of paddy fields.

"Dad, mother, you stop and rest, eat something, and pad your stomach." Zhang Yunshi had a big belly, carried two baskets, and followed by a three- or four-year-old radish head, walked to the ridge of the field, and shouted to the village chief Zhang and Zhang Lin in the paddy field.

"Brother and sister Huang, let's take a break, eat something, and take a break." Zhang Lin greeted Huang Yiyun Niang a few times.

"That's it." Huang Liu looked at the second sister and Shiro and said.

"Daddy." When the little radish head who followed behind Zhang Yun saw Zhang Jialang and Zhang Wang, he ran towards the two of them with a fresh corn cob in his hand.

"Oh, my little ancestor, don't throw yourself at your father, your father is dirty, don't stain your clothes." Zhang Wang smiled and said with a little radish on his forehead.

"Daddy, you eat." The little radish head held up the fresh corn cob in his hand and said.

"Okay, mother and your father eat."

"And grandpa, grandma also eats." After handing the little radish head to Zhang Dalang and his wife, he then took out two from the basket and handed them to Village Chief Zhang and his wife.

"Okay, master, have you eaten Dabao?" Village Chief Zhang took it with a smile.

"My grandson ate it, but it's delicious."

"Sit down, rest, don't be restrained, you're tired all morning, eat something, and pad your stomach." Village Chief Zhang said, took out water and bowls from the basket and poured tea for the four women of the Huang family.

"Uncle, you rest, we'll do it ourselves." After Huang Yiyun saw this, he took the kettle and bowl from the hands of Village Chief Zhang, poured a bowl of cold white water for Huang Liu's family, the second sister and the fourth brother, and poured a bowl of water for everyone in the Zhang family.

After that, he took out four fresh corn cobs from the basket and handed them to Huang Liu.

"Brother and Sister Huang, why don't you eat it?" Zhang Lin said after seeing that Huang Liu didn't eat corn on the cob.

"Is this how ...... eat corn on the cob here?" Huang Liu asked with a look of pity on his face.

"Well, it's pretty much the same, not exactly, but when the farming is busy, most of the villagers will pick some fresh corn cobs and steam them to eat, and many villagers will keep them until they are old, dry and threshing and grind them into powder." Zhang Lin explained.

Huang Liu knew that he was talking too much when his eldest sister was pulling her clothes, and then he didn't ask.

However, the second sister and the fourth brother have never eaten freshly steamed corn cobs, and when they bite into it, the sweetness of the corn instantly fills the entire mouth, and they want to eat a second bite after taking a bite.

Delicious, they squint their eyes and nibble on fresh corn on the cob.
