A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 100 [100] Sweet Potato Starch

It was so easy to collect the rice into the warehouse, and I had to take care of harvesting water spinach, celery, cabbage, radish, beans, cucumbers and other vegetables on an acre of land. When these vegetables were also collected home, it was almost mid-October. After that, adults I was busy planting wheat again, and all the work was done. In November, the weather started to get cold.

It is equivalent to being busy from September to early November before the official toss is over.

This continuous life without respite, let alone adults can't stand it, even Zhuo Lin, who cooks every day, feels sorry for them.

Their family dug a cellar in the yard, and put water spinach, celery, cabbage, radish, sweet potato, potato, etc. into the cellar. Beans and cucumbers were picked out separately to pickle, and cabbage and radish were also taken out for pickling. Pickled cabbage Sour radish, spicy cabbage, spicy radish, and peppers grown in summer are basically used up during the pickling process.

God knows how tired the sister-in-law and sister-in-law will be when all the vegetables, food, and fields are gathered in place. They feel so tired that they lie in bed without moving for a day.

Zhuo Lin felt sorry for them, and took her younger brother to try not to cause trouble. Apart from cooking, she would not let her do the work of cleaning the pot and washing the dishes. She also cut the vegetables for her, for fear of causing her little one to get hurt again. In her spare time, she led Zhuo Jian to catch bugs and feed the chickens, because the chickens would only lay eggs if they were fed enough, and the more eggs they laid, the nutrition of the family could be guaranteed.

It is precisely because of hard work that we can appreciate the hard-won food and cherish every grain and vegetable we earned this winter.

By the way, there are also fruits from the fruit trees at home, such as persimmons, apples, and pears, which are all put in the cellar. Peaches and apricots ripen early, and Dad sells some of them, and the rest is eaten by the family.

As of November, the family's savings have exceeded 11 yuan, which is really gratifying. Part of it is Dad's work, and the rest is saved by the family selling vegetables and fruits. As for Zhuo Lin, she saved it herself The medicinal materials are still in the cellar after drying, untouched.

Because the family only regards it as something for her children to play around with, and no one really takes these things to heart, thinking that it can be sold for something, and Zhuo Lin herself has no intention of selling it based on this achievement, so it is bound to save money. A little more can count.

It is said that one part of autumn rain is one part of cold. After entering November, every time it rains, the sky will become a little bit colder.

During this period of time, Auntie and Auntie cut sweet potatoes at home every day, beat the sweet potatoes into pulp, vacated the starch, and dried the starch. If you want to eat vermicelli, just leak some vermicelli.

The sweet potato dregs were not willing to be thrown away, and they were made into pancakes or boiled into soup to drink, and there was no waste at all.

Because there are so many sweet potatoes, A Niang made a lot of starch. They ate sweet potato dregs for almost a month, and finally leaked out about [-] catties of vermicelli and [-] catties of starch, and there were only [-] catties left. Sweet potatoes, the remaining sweet potatoes can be used as a winter reserve.

Buried sweet potatoes and potatoes in the sand in the cellar can be stored for a long time.

This year's autumn harvest of two acres of rice harvested almost 700 catties of rice, which is relatively high in the same number of acres. Other families either produced more than 800 catties, or more than [-] catties, or more than [-] catties, and they were the only Zhuo family in the whole village.

It is said that it is the result of fish farming, but Zhuo Lin thinks it has something to do with the hard work of her aunt and aunt who took the trouble to pull weeds and fertilize.
