Chapter 1019 Choosing to Hide It in order to protect her daughter
At this time, these women and children, hearing Sun's call, came over with tools to dig these sweet potatoes.
There are many people and great strength, and in one afternoon, all the sweet potatoes around Sun's house that are more than two acres are dug up.
Everyone has never seen such a high-yield thing, and the small area of land has been dug up in a dozen piles.
Sun also took out the sweet potatoes that he cooked at noon at home and shared them with everyone.
After everyone eats sweet potatoes, they like the sweet and glutinous taste, delicious and hungry, and when they see a large pile of sweet potatoes again, their eyes burn.
The willow black bear came back from hunting, and today it was unlucky, and only a few pheasants were hit, so I was really worried about how to divide it!
When Liu Heixiong came to the gate of the stockade, he saw someone holding a sack and hurriedly running to the north of the stockade, "The red potatoes are red, the red potatoes are redΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Liu Heixiong was puzzled, "Haven't the sun-dried sweet potato seedlings already been divided?" What's going on now? β
An old woman walked slowly, and when she heard Liu Heixiong ask, she stopped, elated, "Big boss, we don't have to starve anymore."
The lady saw that the sweet potato seedlings were old, and then she tried to dig up some of the yellow sweet potato seedlings, and then she saw that many large sweet potatoes grew in the ground.
Old woman, I ate a small sweet potato, hey, hey, fragrant, sweet and soft, my old woman has no teeth, but it can be regarded as a mouthful. β
When everyone heard this, they realized that the sweet potatoes that grew under the rhizomes of those sweet potato seedlings seemed to taste good.
The willow black bear is both curious and happy, and does not have to worry about not having enough prey to share with everyone. Stride home and see what the hell is going on with those sweet potatoes?
The same goes for the others, because they don't have much prey and they don't eat much, and they are hungry at this time, and if they have something to eat, they can feel less stressed.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Liu Heixiong saw that his wife Sun was leading everyone to divide the size of the sweet potato.
Liu Heixiong walked over quickly, "Yun Niang, you are pregnant, don't work so hard." There are so many people in the village, you don't need to do such menial work as a pregnant woman. β
When Aunt Xu heard this, she smiled and said, "Madam, if you don't listen to our words, you have to listen to the words of the big boss." β
Although Liu Heixiong is a reckless man, he is kind-hearted, and knows that he hurts people, and after living in Shizhai for many years, Sun not only accepted this man, but also fell in love with this man who was honest on the surface and delicate in his heart.
"Okay, then it's hard for everyone, the big boss is back and gives everyone points. If you can't finish eating the big ones, put them in a clean and cool cellar, which can be stored for a while. Sun reminded, "I am studying other preservation methods, and I will tell you when there are results." β
Aunt Xu nodded, "Madame is a fine person who does fine work." If we are rough people, we will do rough work, and then our wife will teach us. β
Now there are a total of 298 people in the entire stone village, and these sweet potatoes on the ground are enough to have 20,000 catties, and each person can get dozens of catties. There are large and small, and they are very well-proportioned.
Everyone was given sweet potatoes and carried home one after another. There are no men at home, so Liu Heixiong took the middle-aged man and sent these sweet potatoes back to them. The houses in the stockade, including wooden houses and straw houses, were built one after another.
Although it has to be repaired every year, the people on the village are very satisfied to be able to shelter from the wind and rain.
At the foot of the mountain, they will not be able to live a stable life.
At night, in the pots and clay pots of every house, they began to boil sweet potatoes with clear water, and they were satisfied with eating sweet potatoes.
Liu Heixiong also ate a round belly, patted his belly, and said with emotion: "It feels so good to be full, by the way, Yun Niang, where did you get this sweet potato?" Why didn't I pay attention before? β
Liu was dignified, thinking about it carefully, she hadn't seen it before, and it was also found by her daughter and Xiaolan in the weeds outside the yard this year, and then they started cuttings to plant so much.
When it comes to her daughter's dream of the old fairy, Sun doesn't want to say too much, so as not to cause trouble to her daughter, so she made an excuse at random, "It may be that there were few before, and we didn't pay attention to it."
Our family Yiyi and Xiaolan saw that these leaves were edible to pigs, so they picked the forks and inserted them on the ground, but they didn't expect to survive. We used to only think that the leaves could be eaten, but we didn't expect the rhizome to grow such a big fruit, which was quite delicious. β
Liu Heixiong smiled happily and said happily: "Fortunately, there are these sweet potatoes, otherwise this winter, our life would be very difficult." There are fewer and fewer prey, and if I run deeper into the mountains, I don't dare to go, for fear that something will happen. There is not much salt in the stockade, and I have to go down the mountain to change some salt. β
"Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, there is always a way." Sun comforted her husband that the village was poor, but there was no way, after all, they didn't want to kill people and set fires, and they didn't have so many business trips in the past.
Even if there were, it wasn't a fat sheep, and it wouldn't be able to get much. Therefore, Sun has always insisted on encouraging the people of Shizhai to be self-reliant. For example, rubbing twine to make linen. Although it is rough, it can be worn too.
This year, I raised silkworms and collected a lot of silk. The silk has been spun into thin threads, and when it is free, Sun can weave it into cloth, make it into a garment, and wear it inside. Otherwise, the twine is too rough and grinds the skin.
Life is getting better and better, and Sun is full of expectations for his future life.
It's a troubled time now, but it can't always be a troubled time, there will always be a time for peace. When the time comes, they will be good citizens and will be free again.
The whole stone village, because of the sweet potato, everyone is boiling.
The willow black bear stopped hunting and began to dig sweet potatoes with the middle-aged men. Because it was regarded as pigweed by the children in the village, they did not have a fixed place, and when they saw a place, they inserted a sweet potato seedling, which was not connected.
Therefore, the children searched for the pigweed along the place where they usually cut the pigweed according to their memory, so a lot of manpower was needed. However, as long as you can eat a full stomach, even if you are tired, it doesn't matter.
In this way, the whole cottage, young and old, began to dig sweet potatoes.
Those sweet potato seedlings that are cut in the summer also have sweet potatoes underneath, but they are only the size of eggs, so you can only wait for a while to dig them to see if they can grow.
Just as everyone started digging sweet potatoes, Liu Yiyi thought that her corn and peppers should be ripe. So in the form of hiding from Xiaolan, he came to the corner of the remote cottage.
Under Liu Yiyi's deliberate guidance, Xiaolan found corn with corn on the cob, and also saw red peppers stacked on top of each other like a pig's intestine.
This chili pepper is slightly spicy and sweet, and it is especially delicious when made into chili sauce and chili oil.
"Miss, don't move here, I'll go see what's growing there." Since the discovery of sweet potatoes in the village, which has greatly improved everyone's lives, Xiaolan has a very strong curiosity about plants that she has never seen.
