Chapter Ninety-Eight: Soybean Threshing
Gu Jianping's voice was a little heavy, his mood was like a churning wave since the moment he saw Brother Luo yesterday, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Luo Youfu approached step by step, and finally, he walked to the place where Gu Jianping was within reach.
Slowly raising his right hand, he patted him on the shoulder with some relief, and his tone was calm, "Jianping, I never felt that you should get anything in return for saving you, and Qingyang's affairs have nothing to do with you." Don't have a burden in your heart, I'm a man, resist it. ”
After calming down, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Alas! Don't mention those things, it's all in the past...... You are a good one, and your daughter is also a smart one, and when I came back yesterday, I heard that your family has opened an orchard, and it seems that you are doing a good job! Yun Nier, this child, I thought she would be able to make a big difference in the future. ”
Speaking of his daughter, Gu Jianping's mood eased slightly, and he grinned, "Children are fooling, it's a little bit of a small income." ”
The topic gradually turned to the orchard, and Gu Jianping told Luo Youfu in detail about the things that had happened in Changshui Village over the years, and talked about the origin of Gu Jingyun's orchard.
Luo Youfu also gradually opened the conversation, talking about his situation in the past few years, talking about the cities he has traveled in the past few years, and the people he has met.
Two men in their forties and fifties are like relatives who haven't seen each other for a long time.
Behind them, the sun had risen over the sea, and the glow of the rising sun sprinkled on their bodies, enveloping their bodies with a layer of golden light.
With the addition of Luo Youfu, the vegetable garden is gradually on the right track.
Irrigation and weeding were all contracted by him and Gu Jianping, in order not to disturb the two good brothers to catch up, Gu Jingyun also consciously went home and worked with Lin Shuhua to get the original land of the Gu family.
After harvesting peanuts, beans and sweet potatoes, he rested at home for two days.
During this period, she puts the soybeans in the yard every day, and thoroughly dries the semi-dried soybeans, after which she can start to prepare for threshing the soybeans pulled back.
The popularity of mechanization in Changshui Village is not high, and the soybeans, peanuts, and corn grown by each family are all manually threshed.
On a sunny day, Gu Jingyun first had to spread a layer of plastic sheeting in the yard, put the dried soybeans on it, and then took out a mysterious weapon - a wooden stick.
First, the power is poured into the right hand, and then the wooden stick is pounded vigorously on the bean stalk with the force of the wrist, and then the soybeans that have been dried and cracked will easily come out of the soybean pod.
Gu Guan Yun smashed a batch and changed a batch, and he worked very energetically.
After that, Lin Shuhua will put away the threshed soybeans and sift them again with a dustpan to pick out the excess dust and low-quality soybeans.
The harvested soybeans can be put away after being dried in the sun for a few days, and they can be eaten for a long time if they are well preserved.
Gu Jingyun has been in love with their soybeans for a long time, and as soon as they are sunburned, she scoops out a lot, soak them in a large basin mixed with spiritual spring water, and let them stand for a night.
The next morning, she excitedly dragged Lin Shuhua to Chen Boyang's house.
Aunt Yunxiang likes to eat beans, so Uncle Chen specially made a small stone mill for her.
The Gu family did not have a soybean milk machine, and the beans ground with a stone mill were more fragrant, so she started the idea of the Chen family's stone mill.
When the mother and daughter entered the courtyard of the Chen family, Liu Yunxiang was cutting pigweed.
Hearing that Yun Nier was going to use her family's stone mill, Liu Yunxiang was very happy, and hurriedly beckoned Gu Jingyun to go into the utility room with her and move the small stone mill out.
