Autumn is the harvest season, and the croppers are happy to see the heavy ears of rice in the field. After the rice harvest was over, the grain hoarding at home was full again, and the rural people had the habit of hoarding grain. If you are really short of money, it is easy not to sell food, this is a year's ration for a family!

When the beans are harvested, the whole family has to go into battle again, and the bean stalks in the yard are thick, and stepping on them can pop out the beans in the pods.

At this time, Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen sat on a small stool all day long and beat the bean stalks with a long wooden stick. It's an interesting thing that everybody likes.

When the beans were all beaten out, they fell into a full yard. Then use an iron fork to pick up the bean stalks and pile them into a pile, and the dried bean stalks are the best for cooking.

The beans on the ground are swept into a pile with a large broom, and the dust and debris in the beans can be put away in a pocket with a dustpan. In winter, you can exchange beans for some tofu or make some soy beans to eat, even if they are sold more expensive than grain. So every family grows a lot of beans.

More than half of the Zhou family's acres of land were planted with beans, and this year's bumper harvest was abundant, and the family saw that there was no place to put it, so they simply sold more than half of the beans, leaving only two pockets down.

Zhao Yuzhen specially picked a lot of soybeans to stay, preparing to soak more beans to make sauce beans this winter.

Zhou Xiaoyun raised her hands in approval, she loves to eat soy beans the most. Zhao Yuzhen's skills are very good, and the soy beans she makes are extremely delicious, and Zhou Xiaoyun can eat two bowls of rice without other dishes.

The corn harvest is not so pleasant. Breaking the corn cob is a hard job, Zhou Xiaoyun can barely break it, but he is most afraid of the worms wriggling inside, and he often hears a scream and sees Zhou Xiaoyun throw the corn cob in his hand.

Dabao rarely saw Zhou Xiaoyun laughing happily, and after laughing, he had a conscience to remove the worms on the corn cob for Zhou Xiaoyun.

The broken corn cob filled a basket, which was only carried by Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen. Baskets of corn cobs were dumped on a flatbed truck and finally transported to the yard of the house, where it was filled again.

Tear the outer skin of the corn cob, and then there is the more painful peeling of the corn.

Zhou Guoqiang used a planer to slip the corn thorns out of a few gaps, and Zhao Yuzhen was responsible for taking the children to peel the corn. Corn kernels were piled up on the concrete floor of the hall, which could not be placed on the soil, and it would be difficult to eat cornmeal after being stained with mud.

Not to mention Dabao, even Zhou Xiaoyun wants to slip away.

But it's impossible to think about it, isn't it natural for children to help with housework at this time?

Didn't you see that Dabao was reluctant to sit on the side and peel corn kernels one by one? I didn't dare to slip away!

Xiaobao peeled it very seriously, and after a while, his little hands were red, and he complained with a pout: "Mom, when will I finish peeling it, my hands hurt." ”

Zhao Yuzhen felt sorry for Xiao Baolai and asked him and Erya to play next to him for a while.

Seeing this, Dabao hurriedly followed: "Mom, my hand hurts too, can I ......?"

"How many corn cobs have you peeled so far?" Zhao Yuzhen blamed: "Just thinking about being lazy, let me sit there." Look, your sister hasn't squeaked yet! ”

Zhou Xiaoyun had no pride in being praised, and secretly complained in his heart: My hand hurts so much!

Dabao rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea. Holding a corn cob in each hand and rubbing it so hard, the corn kernels fell off one after another, and after a while, the two corn cobs were peeled clean, and the hands did not hurt at all.

Zhao Yuzhen noticed it, her eyes lit up, and she beckoned Zhou Xiaoyun to follow along.

Not to mention, the effect of method 1 reform is completely different. Not only is it a lot faster, but it doesn't hurt your hands. Zhou Xiaoyun thought, a good method can only be thought of by lazy people. How could someone like her come up with such a trick.

Dabao saw that he had made a contribution and became proud, and he began to peel corn and began to come to his senses. After a while, there was a pile of empty corn cobs piled up around.

There are pros and cons, the disadvantage of this is that it is too hard, and Zhou Xiaoyun's hands are sore after a while.

It happened that Xiaobao played around and came to take over, and Zhou Xiaoyun excused himself to go to the toilet and be lazy for a while. This is the first time for Zhou Xiaoyun, she has always been a good assistant who works hard and resents, but peeling corn is one of the things she hates the most. If you can't say anything, you have to be lazy.

After going to the toilet, Zhou Xiaoyun politely said that he was going to cook, and after Zhao Yuzhen nodded in agreement, Zhou Xiaoyun happily went to the kitchen to cook.

Dabao hurriedly raised his hand and reported: "I will light the fire for my sister." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Yuzhen to speak, Dabao also fled.

Zhao Yuzhen thought that Dabao had also peeled corn for a short time, so she went with him.

A room full of corn cobs was peeled for four or five days, but fortunately, most of the time was spent in school, and after school, I had to do my homework, so I peeled it for more than an hour at noon and at night every day.

Finally peeled off all the corn cobs, and Zhou Xiaoyun thanked God repeatedly.

Zhao Yuzhen soaked the freshly harvested corn with some peanuts, rice and beans in water for an afternoon, and went to Zhou Guofu's house in the evening to borrow some porridge paste from his family's mill, and burned most of the pot of porridge at night. The fragrant porridge was very chewy, and everyone ate two large bowls.

Zhou Xiaoyun found a few tender ones in a pile of small corn cobs that were not fully ripe, and held them to the bottom of the pot with an iron fork to roast them when the fire was burning, and the slightly black corn cobs were roasted in a short time.

That incense can eat people's tongues.

Dabao ate three before he stopped, and the porridge he burned at night was not less, and he was teased by Xiaobao for being a rice bucket, and Xiaobao began to be scared when he saw his brother rolling his eyes at him. took the roasted corn cob in his hand and ran to Zhou Guoqiang to seek refuge.

Roasted corn is delicious but it's a pity that it's too troublesome, and most of the rest was put in another pot by Zhao Yuzhen and cooked with water, and the cooked corn cob was also very sweet.

However, no matter how delicious things are, they can't stand eating every day, and in the end, no one is willing to eat some left, so Zhao Yuzhen has to feed the pigs.

Zhou Xiaoyun himself doesn't hate eating corn and doesn't like it, so it's okay to eat some corn porridge. But Zhao Yuzhen used cornmeal to make potstickers, she couldn't stand it, it was hard and tasteless, and it was hard to swallow it in her mouth.

Of course, if the braised fish is boiled in the pot, it is an exception.

Zhao Yuzhen burned two big-headed silver carp at noon one day and pasted a large circle of cornmeal cakes on the side of the pot, and wanted to eat two meals at noon and night.

Unexpectedly, with the fish and fish soup, the family ate all the cornmeal stickers in one meal. Among them, Dabao eats the most fiercely, and his stomach protrudes after eating.

Xiaobao and Erya also eat oily and shiny, Zhou Xiaoyun likes to eat but can't eat much, and prays in his heart that Zhao Yuzhen will not do this every day, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas will also be tired of eating crooked.
