Coupled with the income of puffer fish, the amount on Zhang Yaohua's account is close to 500,000 yuan.

If you want the villa to be close to the sea, you have to continue to work hard, so much money is not enough!

The next day, Brother Zhang Yaohua slept lazily.

"Can you eat faster?" Ah Zhen, who was standing next to her, finally couldn't stand Zhang Yuanhang's speed of eating breakfast, so she couldn't help but not make a move.

These little guys are grinding to eat every time they go to school.

To put it bluntly, I just don't want to go to school.

Zhang Yaohua can understand, he used to think that it was good to rain heavily and blow typhoons! Only then do you not have to go to school. He reads well, but he doesn't necessarily like to go to school much.

When I was in junior high school, I often thought that it would be nice if the power was cut off.

At that time, the power supply was not stable, and power outages were common. Unlike now, even if a typhoon blows, the power supply is still normal. I have to say that the State Grid is a real cow.

"If you have nothing to do today, help me dig sweet potatoes." Mom said to Brother Zhang Yaohua.

The land in their village is not very fertile, there are relatively few paddy fields, and the dry land is mainly sandy land, and almost every household grows some sweet potatoes.

In fact, there are not as many sweet potatoes as they used to be.

In the past, in addition to human food, pigs also ate it, so I had to eat a variety of points. In addition to sweet potatoes, there are also corn and cassava. Cassava, in particular, is basically grown for pigs.

At present, few people raise pigs, who still grows so many sweet potatoes?

Cassava has disappeared in their village.

The main thing is that pigs cannot be raised casually in rural areas.

The brick family said that farmers raising pigs are unhygienic and unscientific, polluting the environment and so on.

In addition, it is now illegal to slaughter without permission. This stick completely stunned the countrymen. Never heard of it before that it is illegal to kill one's own domestic pigs.

For example, a few years ago, someone in their town killed pigs during the New Year and was fined 10,000 yuan.

It's a big deal.

Since then, no one in their village has raised pigs.

If you can't kill it, what are you raising it for?

Zhang Yaowei: "If you want me to say, don't plant sweet potatoes next year, we rarely eat them, and they rot every year." ”

I used to eat sweet potatoes to fill my stomach, but now I want to try them, who can eat those things every day? Zhang Yaowei doesn't eat much, every time he cooks sweet potatoes, he doesn't touch them.

"If you don't eat it, don't other people eat it? Don't grow anything, and when you want to eat it, you have to buy it? Mom said.

This kid dares to deny the fruits of her labor, isn't he looking for scolding?

"Even if people don't eat it, chickens and ducks don't eat it?" Mom added.

Zhang Yaohua spoke: "Plant a little, just enough to eat." This year, let's get some dried sweet potatoes! ”

"Hmmm! OK. Mom nodded.

Ah Zhen glanced at the time, and didn't care whether Zhang Yuanhang was full or not, so she kicked him out of the house. The elementary school in the village does not need to be sent by adults.

If you don't have any people, the teacher will come to the door to look for it, and let the teacher come to the door to find it in person, then the matter will be serious.

Zhang Yaohua: After they were full, they took their tools and set off towards their sweet potato fields.

Zhang Yaowei carried a rake for digging sweet potatoes, Zhang Yaohua was holding a snakeskin bag, rope, and a flat pole, and his mother was holding a sickle.

"Rats stealing food!"

As soon as he arrived at the ground, Zhang Yaohua saw a few traces of exposed sweet potatoes being eaten by rats.

"So I have to take it quickly." Mom said.

Once the rats have eaten it, they will come every day, and they will steal it back to store it before they are full. The ability of rats to store food is very amazing, and diligent rats can hide dozens of catties.

My mother first cut the sweet potato vines along the ditch and put them aside.

Sweet potatoes must be ridged, otherwise the harvest will be much worse.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Yaowei hates growing sweet potatoes, and ridge making is very laborious.

"Ah Zhen, I said I didn't need you to come." Zhang Yaohua said.

"It's okay, just help pick up sweet potatoes, it's not a heavy job, how can it be so delicate?" Ah Zhen laughed.

Mom agrees with this, when she was pregnant with Zhang Yaohua, didn't she also work in the field? I didn't take a few days off after giving birth, so I helped with farm work.

It was the hardest time when I was pregnant with Zhang Yaowei, I was pregnant with one in my stomach and one tied to my back.

It was easiest to conceive a daughter, because at that time Zhang Yaohua was older and could help take care of his younger brother.

Zhang Yaowei and Lao Zhang do the heaviest work.

Mom cuts potato vines, Zhang Yaowei is responsible for digging, Zhang Yaohua and Ah Zhen are packing and bagging, and Lao Zhang picks them home.

"Big brother, wearing gloves, sweet potato juice is difficult to wash." Ah Zhen reminded.

I almost forgot that Zhang Yaohua put on the gloves he brought.

Zhang Yaowei said while digging: "I heard that some places in the north call sweet potatoes to make yams. ”

In his heart, the yam should be Huaishan, that is, the deep potato in their local mouth. Because it grows deep underground, it is not easy to dig, so it is called deep potato.

"What's so strange? It's called taro. ”

Even the old mother who was cutting the potato vine in front of her looked back and was very surprised.

"Ahh So what are they called taro? Ah Zhen asked in surprise.

Zhang Yaohua said with a smile: "The taro in our eyes is called Mao Taro. Potatoes we call potatoes, and in some places they are called artichokes. In short, each place is called differently. ”

When he was in college, Zhang Yaohua had a classmate from Shandong, and once bought roasted sweet potatoes outside, that is, he wanted a roasted taro, which not only dumbfounded Zhang Yaohua and others, but even the bosses of other people were stunned for a long time.

After that, they asked Ah Zhen the same question.

Sweet potatoes are called taro by you, but what about the real taro?

"! There are a lot of red ants, annoyed to death. "Zhang Yaowei accidentally dug up a red ant nest.

"There are more and more of these ants, and the bite is painful and itchy." Mom obviously doesn't have a good impression of this kind of ant either.

Zhang Yaohua: "Wait for the fire to be less." ”

As far as he knows, red ants are an invasive species, red fire ants to be precise, originally from South America.

Red fire ants are hybrid, eating native animals such as earthworms in the soil environment, as well as farmland pests, and will also feed on the seeds, fruits, young shoots, young stems and roots of crops, affecting the growth and harvest of crops.

Therefore, when encountering this kind of ant, don't be soft-hearted, and destroy it if you can.

"When I was a child, I didn't seem to have such ants."

Zhang Yaohua explained: "This kind of red fire ant has only entered our country in the last 20 years, and it has not been before. ”

You will find that many invasive species come from the Americas, such as Brazilian turtles, snails, bullfrogs, scavengers and other animals, as well as goldenrods, water hyacinth and other plants.

It has to be said that the Americas are rich in products.

In addition to invasive species, potatoes, corn, peppers, tobacco, etc. are all species over there.

Zhang Yaowei couldn't stand it, so he immediately went to get a pile of hay, put it on top of the red fire ants, and lit a fire.

This practice is already considered relatively humane, Zhang Yaohua saw that some people on the Internet burned gasoline, fried it with firecrackers, poured aluminum water, and so on. There is no need to pay attention to any means to deal with these invasive species, only the brain-dead will cry out for the invasive species.
