Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 426 Green Wheat
As the sun sets, the earth is bathed in the rosy clouds of the afterglow. In Linnan, villagers in twos and threes, carrying burdens, walk listlessly on the dirt roads in the countryside.The evening wind blows slowly, bringing the fragrance of grass and trees, and the blue ears of wheat hanging on the branches by the roadside look light and light.

Xu San stopped the car, walked to the edge of the wheat field, and weighed the ears of wheat with his hands. They were very light, not plump, and it was incomparable with the wheat that easily yielded a thousand catties per mu in later generations.

Farming is not easy these days, and it is considered very good to have such results.

In the field, there was a figure shaking.

He is a shepherd boy, but he has no cattle.

The looming little head seemed to be avoiding Xu San and his party.

Xu San beckoned, motioning for the shepherd boy to come over.

The shepherd boy hesitated for a long time, and finally walked up to Xu San timidly, and said in a low voice, "Master Jun!"

To comfort him, Xu San took out two pieces of candy and put them in the hands of the shepherd boy, and asked, "Is this your wheat?"

The shepherd boy took the candy and swallowed, "This is the wheat from Luo Yuan's family."

Xu San nodded, it doesn't matter who's wheat, what he cares about is the harvest, "Can you see this year's harvest?"

The shepherd boy looked at the green wheat field, and counted with his fingers, "This year's rain is good, and this land is also a good field. If the harvest is good, one mu of land can produce three hundred catties of grain."

"Is it only three hundred catties?" Xu San murmured.

Hearing Xu San's words, the shepherd boy had a bad face, and quickly said, "I'm not lazy. I guarantee that there will be no wild beasts to destroy the dealer, and no one will come to steal."

Xu San pinched the green wheat ears, lost in memory, and after a while he smiled and asked the shepherd boy, "Have you ever eaten burnt green wheat?"

The shepherd boy was less than ten years old, and he had been working for the landlord's family since he could remember. Although he didn't have enough to eat, he couldn't be considered hungry.

In his limited knowledge, the wheat must wait until it is golden to produce food, and eating unripe green wheat is a waste of food and will be condemned by God.

The shepherd boy stared at Xu San and dared not answer.

Xu San touched his head and asked, "Is Yuanwai Luo's home far from here?"

The shepherd boy pointed to the north, "It takes about two hours to walk in that direction."

"It's a bit far away. I want to buy some wheat from your house. Can you be the master?"

The shepherd boy shook his head, but did not answer.

Seeing the shepherd boy's troubled look, Xu San said, "Forget it, you go back today and tell your family members to prepare 20 catties of green wheat for me, and I'll find someone to pick it up tomorrow."

The shepherd boy nodded, agreeing.

Getting back on the motorcycle, Xiao Hong, who was sitting in the bucket, asked, "Brother-in-law, why are you buying green wheat?"

"Eat!" Xu San replied lightly.

"Can you eat green wheat? I heard that if you eat uncooked wheat, you will be poisoned."

"Who did you hear that from?" Xu San asked.

Xiaohong looked up at the sky, blinked her big eyes a few times, "I've had such a memory in my mind since I can remember."

"Green wheat is not only edible, but also has a variety of ways. In addition to eating directly with fire, it can also be eaten steamed, fried, etc. In Henan, there is a traditional snack called Huo Zhuan, which is made from green wheat. It's done."

"What is Zhuanzhuan?" Xiaohong asked curiously.

Xu San recalled and organized his words, "Wash the green wheat grains, put them in a pot, stir fry on high heat, fry the water in the wheat, then quickly dry the fried wheat, put the wheat on the Clean the wheat husks, put them on the grinding plate, and grind them into slender strips. The milled strips can be eaten directly, or fried eggs, or cut some cucumber shreds, add minced garlic, Chili oil, sesame oil, light soy sauce, salt, oyster sauce and other seasonings are cold, and it tastes very delicious!"

As Xu San spoke quietly, Xiao Hong's saliva flowed out unsatisfactorily.

She wiped her saliva and asked, "Then brother-in-law, can you do it?"

"No! But I can let my sister-in-law try to make a meal when I buy it tomorrow." Xu Sanli said bluntly. It's normal for men not to know how to cook these days.

The three of them walked slowly towards Ping An, while Sister Hua looked at the blue wheat fields by the roadside, she seemed not as relaxed as Xiao Hong and Xu San.

Looking at it, she suddenly said faintly: "This year's wheat growth is really good, but unfortunately, in a few days, these wheat will be cheap."

Xu San also sighed, "At that time, it will be up to the harvest. I hope that the villagers can grab more wheat before the devils do it. And even so, they have to find a way to transport the wheat out, or hide it. .”

"Brother-in-law, you are so powerful, can't you think of a way to prevent the devil from grabbing anything?" Xiaohong looked at Xu San and asked expectantly.

Before Xu San could answer, Sister Hua spoke first, "Let's inquire more about the information when we get back. As long as we know the date of the devil's action in advance, we can send the information out, so that we can reduce the losses of the villagers." Sister Hua Said.

Xiaohong nodded and clenched her fists, as if she was planning to go back and do a big job.

Xu San looked at Sister Hua, and then at Xiaohong, "Leave the information about the devil's raid to me. You should continue to inquire about those abnormal things as before. Also... Cooperate with Boss Qian to transfer supplies. If there is a big move, the consumption of medicines may intensify."

"Okay!" Sister Hua nodded lightly, without arguing with Xu San.

Whatever task Xu San arranged, she would concentrate on doing it, never asking why.

Since she followed Xu San, she almost didn't need to do the spying on military intelligence.

What she and Xiaohong did the most was to listen to the gossip and gossip about the safe city, and to send and receive telegrams.

Compared with before, their work is almost less dangerous now.

After Xiaohong heard that she didn't have much of her own affairs, she felt that the emotions that had just been brewed were drowned out by Xu San in an instant, so she lazily leaned her body against the back of the chair and said, "Brother-in-law, you treat us sisters So good, do you want your sisters to eat all?"

Xu San didn't look back, and said with a regretful tone: "I really think that the blessing of Qiren is a man's dream, but unfortunately, discipline does not allow it."

"It's okay, brother-in-law, don't you often say that there are policies and there are countermeasures? As long as we keep it secret, the superiors will not find out. Besides, you are the leader, be bold. Take us sisters together tonight." Xiaohong laughed and began to joke with Xu San.

"Oh, my Xiaohong is also a big girl, and she is starting to miss men!" Sister Hong also joined the chat between the two.

Xiao Hong nodded solemnly, and then said to Sister Hua with drooling, "That's right, brother-in-law's strips are so pretty! I wouldn't have known if I hadn't wiped his body, but the tendon feels so firm to the touch."
