[How many times have I said that?] I'm inhaling that part of the aura that you humans can't absorb. It does not affect the effect of medicinal herbs at all. You don't believe it! The medicinal materials of Old Man You's family have a pitiful amount of aura! Or take me to the town one day, Tong Ren Tang has a lot of good medicinal herbs! The small mending stone begins to bargain.

"Okay! Next time I go to town, I will definitely turn into Tongrentang and let you suck enough!! Yu Xiaocao found another big sweet potato, held back enough energy to deal with it, and casually perfunctory small mending stones. Anyway, the next time I go to town, I don't know when it will be.

Liu's work is never treacherous, she bends over and keeps digging sweet potatoes. I was secretly surprised in my heart: in previous years, the largest sweet potato in this sandy land was only the size of a palm, and this year's rain was not good, so the sweet potato grew like a blow, one race over the other.

I thought that the little daughter dug up just now was already considered the best, but who knew that after a few hoes, the digging was not much inferior to that. Some even surpass the size of the "King of Sweet Potatoes".

"Mother! This year's sweet potatoes are generally much larger than last year's. Production is expected to increase a lot compared to last year! Yu Xiaolian also thinks it's incredible, the land is the same, and the sweet potatoes are also left over from last year, why are the sweet potatoes produced this year like a competition, one is bigger than the other?

Li Shi dug twice, just sat down and wiped her sweat, she looked at the size of the sweet potatoes on the edge of her field, and smiled so much that the meat on her face was squeezed into a ball: "Brother and sister, this year's sweet potatoes must be high-yielding." Do you think my mother will leave some for us to bake and eat? ”

In previous years, when the sweet potatoes were not growing well, the sweet potatoes produced were thinly sliced and dried, ground into flour and eaten with other coarse grains for a winter. Cakes made of sweet potato flour have a sweet taste and chewy texture, and taste much better than cakes made of coarse millet noodles and bean noodles with a sour smell.

There are not many small sweet potatoes left every year, and occasionally they are boiled in a pot, and they taste soft and sweet. It's a pity that you can't eat more, and it's easy to have pantothenic acid water in your stomach. Roasted sweet potatoes, that taste even more fragrant. It's a pity that Zhang's thinks it's too wasteful to eat roasted, because part of the baked skin must be thrown away.

"Auntie, you've been resting for a long time, hurry up and dig sweet potatoes. There are so many sweet potatoes, if we can't dig them up today, my grandmother will be angry, let alone roasted sweet potatoes, and I won't even be able to eat sweet potato skins! ”

Yu Xiaocao can't look down on this lazy and greedy aunt, she and Xiaolian have dug a bunch of them, but she can't sit up without digging two, so people can't help but bury her!

Li picked up a small sweet potato from the ground, wiped the soil off the sweet potato with a sleeve that he couldn't see what color he couldn't see, and gnawed off the skin with a big mouth, while not forgetting to excuse himself:

"Isn't it just five acres of land! I will definitely be able to finish digging today, and I won't delay it after a while. Not to mention, this year's sweet potatoes are not only big, but also sweet, and much better than the previous sweet potatoes. ”

Yu Xiaolian glared at her, knowing that the sweet potato Li family was untrustworthy every year. She glanced up at her twin sister and couldn't help but say, "Xiaocao, you can rest and work again, don't get tired." ”

Liu straightened his waist, gently brushed the sweat droplets from the corners of his forehead, and said with concern: "Cao'er, you haven't done farm work, so let's sit and play in the field." This little work, my mother can do it with your sister. ”

In his previous life, Yu Xiaocao was also used to farm work, although he had never planted sweet potatoes at home, but he didn't have any technical content in digging sweet potatoes, so he started after a while. Her body, after four or five months of recuperation and exercise in the mountains and seas, is no longer Yu Xiaocao, who was weak when she walked two steps. She smiled at her mother, and the work in her hands was not delayed at all.

"Yo! Second sister-in-law! What kind of fertilizer is on your land this year, the sweet potatoes are bigger than the other. And voila! This head must not weigh seven or eight pounds! After Yu Jiang finished harvesting the sweet potatoes in his own field, when he came to help, he couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the football-sized sweet potatoes on the ground.

Liu shook his head and said with a smile: "The fertilizer is the same as in previous years, it is all self-made manure. Perhaps this year's weather has been good and the harvest has been better than usual. ”

Yu Jiang automatically and spontaneously picked up the pickaxe that was thrown on the ground by the Li family, skillfully dug up the sweet potato, and said in his mouth: "Then why is my family's harvest similar to last year?" Certainly not for this reason. Second sister-in-law, what is the secret recipe for high yield, don't hide it! ”

Yu Xiaolian knew that Uncle Santang liked to laugh, so she said, "Third Uncle, what secret recipe do we have in our family, and we can hide it from our family?" This year's fertilization was applied by my mother and me, and it was indeed the same as last year. As for why the production is so high, we don't know. ”

You don't know, I know! Yu Xiaocao lowered her head and said while working: "Mother doesn't mean that farming is dependent on the sky for food." Maybe God looks at our family and gives us more food. ”

"Hey! I didn't expect our Xiaocao to follow your third uncle and me, and I love to tell jokes. God still watches people cook! But yes, God sees that your mothers are always not full, so it makes sense to give you more food. ”

Yu Jiang has long been dissatisfied with the second uncle's stepfamily. As a junior, I am still in a room, so I naturally can't say anything, only I usually help the poor second sister-in-law and the children to do heavy work, and try to help as much as possible.

"Your family's yield per mu is more than 2,000 catties, which is higher than the yield of other people's spring potatoes! Our family, the production capacity per mu is half of yours, so I snickered! Yu Jiang was envious in his mouth, and the work in his hands did not stop. is indeed a good worker, and the speed of a person is faster than that of a little grass girl.

With Uncle Santang, a free and efficient labor force, and Yu Dashan and Yu Hai, who came back from fishing in the afternoon, helped them, and before it was dark, the sweet potatoes on five acres of land got up and were transported home by wheelbarrow.

Looking at the mountains of sweet potatoes in the yard, Zhang's face, who was pulling his face all day long, also smiled. After estimating the calculation, this year's sweet potato yield per mu has reached 3,000 catties, more than double that of previous years.

In the face of a bumper harvest, Zhang's finally relented, leaving some of the smaller cellars to be steamed or boiled for the winter. The rest should be cut into slices, and ground into potato flour when the sun is good in early winter.

"Thanks to the blessing of the emperor today," Old Man Yu looked at the mountains of sweet potatoes, with a sense of satisfaction that he had food in his hands and did not panic, "When I was young, I even had to eat bark and grass roots during the famine, and I put the soil in my stomach when I was hungry, and I starved to death!" ”

Lao Yutou paused for a moment, as if he was caught in the memories of the past, and then said: "After the sweet potatoes were transported from the sea, there was also a famine. High-yielding, shelf-stable sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour, and even sweet potato vines helped us survive a terrible three-year famine and save us from starvation. ”

Zhang also nodded and said, "Yes!" Sweet potatoes are indeed a good thing. However, two meals a day of sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour make people's stomachs bulge, pantothenic acid heartburn in the stomach, and farting, which is so uncomfortable. If only there was high-yielding and non-heartburn food, it would be great! ”

"Don't be satisfied! Some eat, but it's too much to eat! Lao Yutou glared at his mother-in-law and continued to watch them slice the sweet potatoes.

There are few kitchen knives at home, and even the iron pieces of sickles and hoes are used, which is not enough for everyone. And the speed of slicing is also slow, when can this more than 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes be cut!

Yu Xiaocao remembered that the mane used by the neighbor to cut sweet potatoes in his previous life was a single-sided blade, fixed in the middle of the wooden board, and he held a large sweet potato on the blade and pressed it down, and the sweet potato was cut into pieces, and it was not easy to cut his hands.

Xiaocao chattered with her father for a while, and when she came back from town the next day, she brought back a few blades that met the requirements.

Yu Xiaocao used the clothes that were too torn at home to wear and made a few thick gloves, which could ensure that his hands were not cut by the moes.

Liu put on his broken gloves, put up the wooden planks of the moles, took a large sweet potato, and pressed it hard, and a piece of sweet potato chips with moderate thickness fell down.

Zhang also took it and tried it, and rarely praised it: "This chisel is really convenient to use, not to mention the speed of cutting sweet potatoes, and it is labor-saving." That's great! ”

Taking advantage of the freshness, Li Shi was also rare to be diligent for a day or two to cut out hundreds of catties of sweet potatoes.

With sweet potato moses, more than 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes, which were difficult to cut out in a month, were cut in less than ten days by the women and men of the family.

There were neighbors who came to visit the door in the middle, and when they saw the Yu family's sweet potato chicks, they also inquired about Yu Hai, and went to the blacksmith in the town to make a few blades, so that Yu Hai could take the time to make them into a brick plate. Who doesn't have many relatives in the outer village? Soon, the sweet potato seeds spread outwards centered on Dongshan Village.

In the future, every sweet potato harvest season, there will be people who will talk about the good children of the Yu family in Dongshan Fishing Village.

Yu Xiaocao didn't expect that a pirated invention for the convenience of his family would make the Yu family famous in the nearby village. She was thinking about how to make delicious food out of sweet potato flour.

Combined with the meager experience of her previous life, coupled with her own blind thinking, she came up with a lot of ways to eat in line with the principle of coarse grains and fine crops.

For example, there are several ways to make sweet potato noodles alone.

The easiest way to do this is to rub the kneaded sweet potato dough into a boiling pot with a large rubbing bowl (that is, a silk grater, which Xiaocao begged his father to get from the blacksmith in the town), and the noodles are thicker and thicker than a child's fingers.

But to speak in conscience, the big black bowl, no brine, no oil and salt, and when I drank it, my stomach was bulging, and I was hungry after a while.

The best thing to eat is lo mein. Sift out the finest sweet potato noodles with a dough basket, knead the dough with warm boiled water, rub the noodles into the boiling water with the thinnest rubbing pot, the firewood under the pot stove is still crackling and burning, and the people who make the noodles should finish the dough as quickly as possible, otherwise the noodles will melt in the boiling water.

This is a hard work, usually when her father is at home, even if Yu Hai has a lot of strength, every time he is tired and sweaty, more than a dozen people in the Yu family have to cook a big pot of noodles every time to eat. Therefore, when winter comes, Yu Hai's clothes will also be soaked with sweat.

However, the boiled noodles are crystal clear, smooth and chewy to eat, and poured with clam soup and leek foam are freshly marinated, which is called enjoyable, which can be called a classic way to eat sweet potato noodles.

You can also rub the kneaded noodles into noodles and put them on the cutting board, add water to the pot and boil, you can eat them immediately after cooking, sweet and delicious. You can also add fresh soup to make lo mein, but it is better to rub it directly in boiling water into noodles and cook it to eat slippery, and the taste is slightly worse.

There is also a way to eat it with thick and thin. It is to wrap the sweet potato dough with white dough, make it into hand-rolled dough, after cutting, the black and white are distinct, and it tastes very tenacious and smooth and delicate with sweet potato noodles. However, there is an old lady in the family, unless the uncle's family comes back, it is easy not to let the disaster be white-faced.

In addition, sweet potato noodles can be baked cakes, pasted cakes, steamed nests, vegetarian buns and dumplings and so on. With Xiaocao's skill in making sweet potato flour, the Yu family rarely goes out to buy grain in winter.
