During this period, if it is found that the ground of the yard dam is soaked with water vapor, first use the grain rake wooden teeth to push out the grooves one by one, and expose the ground soaked with grain grains to dry for a while.

After drying, the millet is pushed into ridges to expose more soaked ground, and after the ground is dried, the millet is raked flat and thinned.

The sun was big, and the ground dried quickly, Lin Lan remembered drying millet when she was a child, and felt that this was not the hardest time, the hardest time was when the sun reached the top of her head.

The air is hot, even the wind blowing is hot, like a wave of fire, and it feels like the exposed skin will be sunburned twice.

At that time, people were tired and felt that they could fall asleep standing up, but they still had to turn over the grain.

As soon as the millet was pushed away, Li Xiangyang and Lin Guodong came back with the millet.

Li Xiangyang glanced at her tanned face and said with a smile: "Let's do it!" ”

Lin Lan nodded: "Sun, if you don't dry the millet, you can't dry it." As he spoke, he pushed the grain away and asked the two of them to dump it in the clearing.

Lin Guodong poured out the millet in his pocket and put away the hemp rope: "Xiaolan, I'm afraid the dam of the millet yard that I brought back today won't be able to open." ”

Lin Lan took a look: "The harvest in the morning is a little thicker, and it can still be opened." In the afternoon, take out the drying mat and dry it on the machine plow road at the door. ”

"It's fine."

After the two poured the grain, Li Xiangyang took the grain rake to help push it away, and then walked away with Lin Guodong with the basket.

Lin Lan pushed the millet apart and spread it evenly, used a grass rake to clean the straw mixed in it, and returned to the eaves of the porch.

After looking at the time, it was half past ten, and she said to Lin Hong: "Look, I'll go wash the vegetables, don't let Wangcai go in and run blind." ”

Lin Hong nodded: "Grandma said she would come back at half past ten." ”

Before she finished speaking, Wu Shufen pushed the bicycle with a clip on her back and walked in: "Xiaolan, I cooked a chicken and bought two carp, what vegetables did you buy?" ”

Lin Lan said with a smile: "I brought a sweet duck, as well as pork belly, pork kidney, sitting dun meat, and pork belly." ”

Lin Hong answered: "My sister-in-law said that she would make a winter melon cup for me to eat." ”

Wu Shufen smiled and nodded: "Okay, just eat the winter melon cup." As he spoke, he looked at Lin Lan, "Is the fungus swollen?" ”

"I bubbled up, grabbed a handful of shiitake mushrooms, and grabbed a few matsutake mushrooms in it." Lin Lan walked to the stove room with his back in his hand.

Wu Shufen said to Lin Hong: "Take the grain rake and pull the millet together, and turn it a few more times." ”

"Oh!"

Wu Shufen entered the stove room and brought the fish to the stone slab in the backyard to kill the fish: "Xiaolan, when you pay the public grain, take advantage of the cheap price of grain, find someone to buy more millet and stock it up." ”

After seeing it, Lin Lan suddenly felt a little sick to her stomach, turned her head and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Sister Li and Sister Meihua later, and ask them to help ask which family on the team wants to sell food." ”

Wu Shufen was relieved after hearing this, and pointed to the eggplant, cowpea, and Qinghai pepper in the vegetable basket: "What do you want to eat those?" ”

"The eggplant was eaten cold, and Xiaohong said that the fried rotten meat and green beans were stir-fried together with Qinghai pepper and cowpeas."

Wu Shufen nodded: "The pork belly, pork kidney, and sitting meat will be kept for eating at night." ”

"Okay, I'll grab a handful of grass to wash the winter melon."

"Hmm!" Wu Shufen scraped and cleaned the black membrane in the fish's belly, washed the selected coriander, shallots, garlic cloves and ginger and put them in a basket, and carried them back to the stove room.

Lin Lan went to the firewood room and grabbed a handful of straw, put the winter melon into a large wooden basin to scrub it, and brought it back to the stove room.

Wu Shufen said: "I'll chop the meatballs, you first light the stove outside, and put the winter melon inside to steam." Oh! There is chicken soup in the steel pot on the back of the clip. ”

"Good!"

Lin Lan cut the winter melon, the part with the melon handle was shorter to make the lid, the long section dug out the melon seeds inside, rinsed it, scraped out some winter melon flesh with a steel spoon, and cut it into small pieces for later use.

Take out the steel pot in the back of the clip, pour half of the chicken soup into the winter melon, then enlarge the steamed sliver into the pot, scoop two scoops of water into it, take a clay bowl to decorate the water, put the winter melon in and then put it on the steaming grate and steam it in the pot.

Lin Lan tore the matsutake mushrooms into small strips, cut the shiitake mushrooms into strips, cut the ham into dices, and cut a green onion for later use.

Wu Shufen beat an egg, poured the egg white into the minced meat, added small powder, ginger rice, salt, and pepper and stirred in a clockwise direction, and beat it vigorously.

After pouring a scoop of water into the pot and boiling, squeeze the meat filling one by one into meat balls with the tiger's mouth, scoop it out with a spoon and put it in the pot. After the meatballs are cooked, scoop them up and put them in cold water to cool down.

"Xiaolan, pour the meatballs into the melon cup."

"Okay." Lin Lan poured the meatballs and the prepared ingredients into the winter melon cup and covered the winter melon, then covered the pot, added a handful of firewood to the stove, and went out to turn the grain.

Li Xiangyang and Lin Guodong picked the millet twice and came back, and Xiaohong was struggling to push the sun-dried millet towards the east wing.

The moisture of the millet picked back first has almost dried out, and this batch of millet picked back has to be dried separately from the first.

Lin Lan picked up the grain rake: "Xiaohong, go and help grandma make the fire, I'll dry the grain." ”

"Oh!" Lin Hong couldn't wait to take the grain rake and turn around and leave.

Lin Lan pushed some of the millet that had been dried and watered towards the east wing, and then pushed the millet that she had just picked back and spread it evenly, and used a grass rake to remove the straw in the miscellaneous family, so that Lin Hong watched the yard dam and go into the house to help.

After eleven o'clock, Xiaodouzi and Lao Li also came to Lexing.

Lao Li stopped the car, waited for Xiaodouzi to get out of the car, and said to him: "You go into the house, grandpa will go to the rice field to have a look." ”

Little Beanzi nodded: "Oh! ”

Wangcai, who was lying at the door, kept wagging his tail at the two. Lao Li patted it and went towards the rice field.

Xiaodouzi put his arms around its neck: "Wangcai, do you think of me?" ”

Wangcai stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail at him.

"Haha, you're so funny, the dog will miss you." Lin Jun walked in with buckets and baskets.

Xiaodouzi saw the bucket that Lin Jun was carrying, and took a look: "Cousin Jun, you guys are going to pick up the fish!" ”

Lin Jun nodded proudly: "Hmm! Pick up a few crucian carp, a grass carp, some shrimp, and a few loaches, and cook them for Wangcai to eat later. ”

Lin Hong heard his voice, walked out of the house, crossed his waist and pointed at a few people: "You guys are going to be beaten today!." ”

Lin Jun remembered his grandmother's words before leaving, and shrunk his neck.

"Slightly, slightly, the complaint is fine!" Lin Qing grimaced at her, and walked in with a basket pocket.

Lin Hong looked at Lin Jun: "Brother, if you don't believe it, forget it, Dad said it, I will invite you to eat bamboo shoots and fried meat when you come back." ”

Xiaodouzi looked at Lin Hong and asked strangely, "Why does Cousin Jun want to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots?" ”

"Grandma asked him to help dry the millet at home, and he ran to the ditch to collect fish." Lin Hong pointed at Lin Gang, "There are also you and Xiaoqing, grandma asked you to go to the rice field to pick up grain, and you also ran away." ”
