Chapter 61: If it weren't for your mother to run this house, you would have starved to death

Bitter buckwheat is one of the types of buckwheat, and there is another type of buckwheat that is sweet buckwheat.

They are of different breeds and have different ancestors.

The ancestral species of sweet buckwheat is the large wild buckwheat, and the ancestral species of the tartary buckwheat is the hairy buckwheat.

Lin Tao took a stick and slapped the woolly buckwheat flower that fell to the ground.

Li San did the same thing and joined in.

Then there is the sharp-eyed Li Si, and Li Er.

Even Li Yi, a lazy cancer patient, followed with a little reluctance after these days of personal experience and observation.

It's really easy to say that people are really easy to do!

After turning it over a few times, the tartary buckwheat has completely separated from the flower stalk!

"Take this and feed it to the cows." Lin Tao picked up the flower stalk and handed it to Zhu.

"Isn't it? This, after getting this old man for a long time, is it actually for the cow to eat? Li threw away the wooden stick and sat on the ground like a resentful woman, rubbing his shoulders and patting his legs.

"If you want to grab food from the cows, you can do it! We don't eat this stuff anyway! ”

Lin Tao sat back on the stone bench and said to Xu, "Collect these seeds." ”

Xu's mother, who has always been very obedient, immediately took action obediently.

Lin Tao rushed to the old lady washing the dishes on the edge of the stove shed and said, "Mother, our family will have to have at least two meals in the future." ”

The old lady didn't raise her head and said, "One meal is enough!" Don't look at the food at home now, you can also earn money, but now it is about to enter winter, and the money has to be left to buy food for the winter. ”

"Alright, old woman! Peaches said to open two meals, let's make two meals! In this home, Momoko has the final say! The old man came out of the stove shed and helped the Zhu family to clean up the hairy buckwheat stalks.

"I know Momoko has the final say! But our family is like this, the days are not tight, how is it in winter? ”

"Hey! You old woman, why can't you understand the words? Can Peaches be that measured? If it were like that, you and I would have either gone to the crockpot grave or starved to death! You, don't worry about this kind of heart in the future! What do you say about Peaches, let's do it! ”

Seeing the old man have this temper for the first time, Lin Tao hurriedly interrupted: "Mother, I know you are for the good of this family!" Don't worry! ”

The old lady pulled her face, glared at the old man, and turned the muzzle: "You will be a man!" Then he carried a pot and bowl into the stove.

"Look at what you say, I will be a man, and that is not when you were young! Don't be angry! The old man followed.

The small family, including Lin Tao, was dumbfounded.

I didn't expect it! The old man spoiled the old lady, and he actually spoiled him for a lifetime!

Lin Tao unconsciously looked at Li Er, so who is this kid's temperament? Could it be that it wasn't born to the Li family?

Li Ermeng bounced up from the ground and took the initiative to give Xu's hand.

Well? Can this kid guess what she was thinking?

As soon as Li Er moved, Li Si and Li Yi also started to help.

Soon, most of the back tartary buckwheat was stuffed out.

"Bah, this thing is bitter! Its shell can't even chew! Li Yi pulled his tongue and wiped it directly with his hand.

Lin Tao shook his head and said, "The brain is a good thing, don't hide it all the time, take it out and dry it." ”

The whole hospital, Li Si, the only one who understood, covered his mouth and snickered.

"Alright, let's wash and sleep early!"

These days, Xu's Niangsan and Zhu's have not slept well for several days because of their stalls.

And the three stupid boys have also stayed up all night, and their eyes are as red as rabbits.

As soon as they heard that they could sleep, the three of them giggled as if they had found silver.

Maybe it's because he found that piece of buckwheat, Lin Tao has been worried about it these days, and tonight can be regarded as letting go.

This sleep is so sound that she doesn't even know when the old lady who slept on the same kang with her got up.

It wasn't until the sky was bright and shining from the broken window to the kang that Lin Tao was awakened.

Hurriedly dressed and went out, and the family was busy.

"Why didn't anyone call me?" Lin Tao ran to fetch water.

Xu wiped the mud from his hands and brought her 'toothpaste' and toothbrush.

"I won't let them call you. Seeing that you are tired these days, you don't need to set up a stall today, thinking about letting you sleep more. "And the old lady of the mud, hammering the old waist and saying.

Only then did Lin Tao notice that at the corner of the hall and the east house in the small courtyard, a one-meter-high mud wall had been pasted.

The houses here are built with simple construction techniques that are beyond your imagination!

Four logs are staked at the four corners, and then the door frame position is also fixed with two logs.

As for the wall, pay more attention to it, take the column strips to make the path, and then paste the dry mud in the gap, and wait for the mud to dry, and the wall is finished! Finally, build a few beams, take the thatch and bundle it into small bundles, and press it on the beams.

And so the room was finished! Let's not talk about the simplicity of the materials, let's just say that the wall made of mud, the rain is a little heavier, and the designation is broken!

But right now, the entire village and even the poor families in Qingyuan Town are building houses like this. Even if Lin Tao had a way, he didn't dare to use it!

Forget it, just follow the locals!

If there is heavy rain in the future, it will really wash away, so she just changes the way to build a house.

Because of the choice of land, the newly built hut has a hall house on one side, an east house on the other, and a courtyard wall behind it.

You only need to build two logs to reinforce the door, and the wall only needs to be glued on this side of the door!

The position of the empty door requires two-thirds of the area to be pasted!

Over there, at the corner between the hall and the west house, the four sons were busy building a cowshed.

The little calf tied to the side seemed to feel that there was going to be a shed, and mooed excitedly.

It seems that although she got up late, none of the family members were idle.

Even the two little ones followed together, helping to tread the mud with bare legs.

It seems that there is no hurry to go up the mountain at this time today. Lin Tao didn't mention the matter of going up the mountain, and after washing, he brought out the tartary buckwheat that he had beaten yesterday and sieved it to remove the ash and soil.

Soak in water for another 30 minutes to soften the shells of tartary buckwheat.

Pour out the water and dry the tartary buckwheat again.

While the shell is still soft, it has to be ground and ground into powder.

After taking the tartary buckwheat into the stove shed, Lin Tao heard Li Yi muttering in a low voice: "Mother won't really take that thing and give us food, right?" ”

Li Er: "It's hard to say. ”

Li Si: "Okay! The two heads of the two of you plus one piece can't compare to the mother's. Since my mother brought it home, it is designated that it can be eaten! Isn't that the third brother? ”

Li San: "As long as you can eat enough." ”

"You're really not picky!" Li Er complained.

Li Yi added: "That's it!" You haven't eaten that thing before, it's as bitter as a potion! ”

Li San was cold, and made up for it: "The most important thing is to be full." ”

"That's it! Still pick a good taste or not? What's the matter? It's not delicious, don't eat it! Starve to death! As soon as the old man spoke, the three stupid boys shut up.

The old lady helped: "Li Yi! Don't be born in the midst of blessings and don't know blessings! If your mother hadn't run this house, you'd have starved to death! You don't look at it, this year's situation, people with land, they only eat one meal a day! If you can eat two, it's time to steal the fun! ”
