The sticky fire spoon wraps quite quickly, and at dusk, there is only a small basin of face left. The main thing is that Baozhu and Mingzhu are relatively fast, and they have enough manpower, so they will naturally dry quickly. If it were another time, Meiyu and Yuchan and others would be able to come over to help, but now that these families are preparing for the happy event at home, they don't have time to come over to help.

At this time, Yun Ting and Yun Lei also returned from the school, and the Baozhu sisters were about to say goodbye and go home.

"Let's go back after dinner here, you guys have helped me all day, and I'll leave after dinner." Yun Xue said.

"No, I ate here at noon, and I have to go back in the evening. Now the world is not peaceful, and my house closes the door before dinner. Orb shook her head.

Nowadays, almost every household is like this, and before they can eat dinner, they all have their doors plugged in, saving a little trouble. Normally, the big guys don't walk around each other after this, there is nothing to do during the day, and they have enough to say during the day, where do they still run out blindly with the black light at night?

"Okay, I won't keep you, wait a minute, I'll pick up some sticky fire spoons and go back, it happens to be hot, and you can eat it directly at night." Yun Xue filled two baskets full of sticky fire spoons for the two of them, and covered them with clean cloths. "Baozhu, you two take some sticky fire spoons and go back, and the big guy will follow and taste the freshness."

Baozhu is not polite, the two families get along very well, if you want to excuse yourself again, it will be too hypocritical. "Don't say it, I really didn't get this thing at home, I just took it back and tasted it for all the big guys. If it's delicious, I'll pack it at home next year. The two sisters carried baskets and left Han's house.

It just so happened that Tianfu also brought Yunxia back at this time, the little guy is definitely a good boy outside, and he is not naughty at all. Grandma Zhong was reluctant to let her go, and said that she wanted to leave Yunxia to live there.

"Let's big guy hold our hands tight, let's just finish wrapping up and then eat." Yun Xue looked at the small basin, it would probably be good to be able to wrap a curtain, and it wouldn't take long for the big guys to do it together.

However, the last curtain was wrapped, and Yun Xue took it to the kitchen to be cooked. "It's all done, and I thought I'd have to have another day." Yun Xue thumped her waist, she was actually quite tired when she stood in front of the pot this day. Yun Xue looked at the sticky fire spoon full of two large wooden troughs, and once again sighed that there were many people and great strength. If there were only two Yunxue sisters, I am afraid that it would not be possible to wrap it up in three or four days.

"yes, thanks to Orb and Pearl." Yunni also stretched her waist, she had been sitting on the kang all day and wrapping sticky fire spoons, which was actually not comfortable.

Yun Xue and Tianfu put the cold sticky fire spoon into a large wooden barrel specially filled with grain, and then carried it to the warehouse outside. Put a lid on the top and press the heavy stuff so that the rats can prevent it from stealing food. "Alright. This winter, with these foods, cooking can save a lot of worry. Yun Xue muttered.

When you want to eat it, you can take it back and heat it up, and there are so many pancakes, all of which are hungry things. Although there is not much corn at home, these can still fill the stomach.

This year, every household has lost a lot of corn. Therefore, the most ingenious woman has tried her best to mix all those grains and beans and eat them. In this way, there are really a lot of things to do.

"Sister, there are still a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the cellar, I think we may not be able to eat them all, do you have any way? Shall we deal with those? Tianfu said as he worked.

This year, their family's 30 acres of wasteland were planted with soybeans, sweet potatoes and potatoes. In particular, the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is very high, and there are many sweet potatoes and potatoes in the cellar at home. You have to find a way to deal with all these things, otherwise it would be a pity to keep them and rot.

"How? I really don't have any other way, at most I just push it into powder and save it for some noodles in the powder room in the town. Otherwise, it will be mixed into the grain, and it will be able to fight hunger anyway. Yun Xue thought for a while and said.

There is a novice shop in the town that specializes in making vermicelli. Northeast people love to eat vermicelli, pork stewed vermicelli, chicken stewed vermicelli, Chinese cabbage stewed vermicelli, all of which are very delicious. The powder room can also use the powder to exchange for the noodles, and give people some manual fees. Of course, in general, the big guys take flour or fresh sweet potatoes to exchange, anyway, the powder room can be replaced with vermicelli according to a certain proportion.

Yun Xue suddenly remembered a story, saying that when the old man of a family was dying, he said to his children and grandchildren, "If you starve one day, you will tear down the walls." His children and grandchildren were all puzzled, and they did not understand the old man's last words. Later, a few years after the old man died, their place was plagued, and the people had nothing to eat. At this time, a person remembered the old man's words and tried to tear down the wall of the partition.

As a result, they found that the original wall was not made of adobe, but made of potato powder. The whole two partition walls are all large billets made of sweet potato powder. The old man's children and grandchildren relied on these sweet potato powder to survive the famine and survive.

Yun Xue told this story to Tianfu, and Tianfu glared at the boss, "God, that old man is really amazing." Eldest sister, do you want to learn from that old man? ”

Yun Xue shook her head, "We don't need to build any walls, but we pushed all the sweet potatoes and made them into sweet potato powder, which can be slowly freeze-dried outside in this winter." Let's put it away, and in the future, maybe it will come in handy. ”

Tianfu nodded, "Yes, then let's use the mill to push all the sweet potatoes with the mill, and the province will be blind if it is rotten." By the way, what about potatoes? Is it the same with potatoes? ”

Yun Xue shook her head, "I don't know about this either." I've only heard old people say that small potatoes can be soaked in water. Wait for the potatoes to soak and then wash out the noodles inside. However, I heard that there were not so many in our family before, and we have never tried it. ”

"Isn't that easy? Then let's try it tomorrow. Anyway, there are so many potatoes in the cellar, I'll pick out some small ones to try. Otherwise, it's kept to feed the pigs, and there's no other use. Tianfu smiled.

Speaking of feeding pigs, Yun Xue couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart. This year's grain is scarce, and during these days, it has always been mixed with acorns in bean wool and bean rice to feed pigs, of course, sometimes mixed with some small potatoes or something. However, these four pigs also eat a lot, and it seems that during the New Year, at least two pigs must be killed, otherwise there may not be so many things to feed the pigs after the New Year.

There are also those chickens and ducks, when it comes to the New Year, they have to kill the male, leaving only the female to lay eggs. Anyway, it's just to lay eggs, and it's useless to keep the male one.

After cleaning up, the family had dinner together and then went to bed. After two days of busy work, everyone was a little tired, and this night, I slept quite soundly.

Although there is no big work in winter, there are a lot of trivial things to live at home, and Yunxue is not idle at home.

"Eldest sister, you really have to tie your own brushes and brooms, I think you should go to Uncle Li and them." Yunni is on the kang, making new clothes. It's more than ten months in winter, and it's time to prepare New Year's clothes, do it early, so as to save the New Year's Day. There is still some cloth at home, plus the boys have to wear clothes, and it is the New Year, so they have to make a new set for them anyway.

Yun Xue sat on the ground, holding the sorghum millet that she wanted to tie a brush broom on. This thing is the ears of sorghum, and after scraping off the sorghum on it, it can be used to tie brushes and brooms. However, sorghum with a brush and a broom are not the same, they are two different species. The sorghum with a broom has a much thicker pole.

"I'll first tie the brush to practice my hands, even if this thing is poorly tied, it won't be delayed, at most it's just not too resistant. Now that the Li family is preparing for Meiyu to marry, the family is very busy, so why are we embarrassed to go over to ask Uncle Li for help. Yun Xue said as she picked out the sorghum millet seeds that were almost the same length and held them into a handful.

A thick stick was placed on the ground, and a hemp rope slightly thinner than chopsticks was wrapped around the stick. Yun Xue tied the picked handful of sorghum millet with hemp rope a few times, and then kicked the stick on the ground with both feet, and pulled the hemp rope back with both hands, so that the sorghum millet was tightened. Then Yun Xue hurriedly picked up the thin hemp rope that had been prepared next to her, and next to the edge of the thick hemp rope, she wrapped it seven or eight times vigorously, and tied it tightly.

Then, in this way, there is another one, more than an inch away from the place where it was just pierced. After Yun Xue tied it with fine hemp rope again, this brush was almost the same. The next thing is to repair the handle behind the broom, use a sharp knife, repair the back to a slightly semicircular shape, so that you can scrape your hand when you don't use it.

Normally, that's the end of it. Some people will also tie a piece of hemp rope before using it and tie it into a nose that can be hung on a nail. In this way, it will be hung up when it is used up, and the inside of the brush will not rot.

"Okay, that's pretty much it, it seems to be a little looser, I'm afraid it's not very useful." Yun Xue checked it and felt that it was still slightly loose, not too perfect.

"I'll see, oh, big sister, you're really good, isn't that good? Eldest sister, you really know everything, you don't have to ask others at home in the future. Otherwise, you can teach me too, I will learn from you, and I will do it later. "Tianfu is idle, and he is weaving baskets over there. He learned this craft from his grandfather, and just when he saw that the basket used at home was broken, he went up the mountain to cut wicker and came back to weave it.

"Okay, you're much smarter than your eldest sister, and you can learn it as soon as you learn it." Yun Xue said with a smile.
