Chapter 109 Raw Sprout Potatoes Cannot Be Eaten

[The round of exam months is too painful... Subscriptions must be strong! 】

The annual spring plowing battle finally kicked off.In the beginning, each household just did some small work: dredging the water outlet, or yarding a yard of rice stalks, but in the past few days, almost all households have started to prepare rice seedlings.

It was early for Su Yu's family to finish raising rice seedlings, so in the next few days, Wang Sang and Su Gu'an went to help other people together.Everyone also knows that the Su family has two young children, and they always ask Wang Sang to go back early to take care of the family.

But every time this time comes, Wang Sang will smile and refuse: "The two children in my family are worry-free. Dayu may also do it now. We don't have to worry about the cooking at home and the cows and chickens outside. Little Bai is also quite sensible, we just stay at home when we go out to work, and don't talk about looking for us."

Sometimes the villagers would ask, "Aren't there three children in your family? Where's Xiaofang?"

Wang Sang stopped his work and explained proudly: "My Xiaofang is the most promising one. She went to study in Kyoto with a famous doctor in Kyoto. After that, she will be able to come back and benefit the village!"

At this time, everyone will often admire and express their envy: "You see that you are living a prosperous life. I heard that you have rented dozens of acres of land this year, right? I will definitely wait until autumn." If there is a good harvest, now the second daughter is going to study medicine, and our Qingshui Village is going to have its first female doctor!"

Every time Su Guan and Wang Sang were a little embarrassed by what they said, they just smiled and stopped talking.In fact, parents are all the same. Although the words they often talk about may be "what about other people's good children", in their hearts, they still long to hear others praise their children. The position in their hearts cannot be surpassed by anything.

Mentioning that Su Yu was able to work, Su Yu felt very proud.She used to be a delicate girl in modern times. Even after she got to work in society, she couldn’t even cook. Now she can cook a lot of farm dishes. Every time she either cuts a fancy potato or makes a The sauerkraut platter, the family can see that Su Yu has put so much thought into the dishes every time they eat.

However, the cabbage hoarded in the winter before is almost eaten, as is the sauerkraut. At this time, I can only eat potatoes.This time of year is also the most difficult time, because there are no dishes.

Although Su Yu didn't see anyone starving to death in Qingshui Village, he could predict that somewhere in this continent, there must be someone starving at this time.The ancient times were different from the advanced technology of modern times. Fruits and vegetables that were not in season could only be transported here from the south, and after they were transported here, the price increase was simply not affordable for these farmers, and many vegetables were simply unaffordable. They couldn't be lucky, that's why many people had such a hard time at this time of year.

Su Yu once asked Wang Sang what season he liked best. Originally, she thought Wang Sang would answer autumn, because that was the harvest season, and it was also the time when a year's hard work finally paid off.But Wang Sang's answer was Xia Tian.

She was still weaving at that time, and when she heard Su Yu's question, she stopped moving the shuttle, turned her head and said with a happy face, "Of course it's summer, and there are all kinds of vegetables in summer."

Su Yu has always disliked summer, not because of the climate, but because there are too many mosquitoes in summer.I have the kind of physique that loves to attract these things, every time the mosquitoes just bite me.

The incident happened when Su Yu was in college. When he woke up, Su Yu said angrily, "Why do I have six more bags all of a sudden? It's not fair!"

The other five roommates in the dormitory all looked over, and many of them asked in unison, "You have mosquito bites on your body, what does it have to do with injustice?"

This is when Su Yu said confidently: "There are obviously six people in the dormitory. Normally, each person should have a bag on his body. Why did he only bite me! Damn mosquito!"

But after the ancient times, Su Yu could understand Wang Sang's feelings.Even if you have money, you can't buy what you want to eat. It's really a depressing thing.

After thinking about it, she went down to the cellar to touch a few potatoes, but because the weather was getting better, many potatoes had white sprouts on them.

When Su Yu was groping for potatoes in the cellar, Su Bai was always on top to help put the potatoes that Su Yu threw up into the small baskets, which were newly made by Su Gu'an a few days ago.When Su Bai saw the potato sprouts, he thought they were the same as the bean sprouts that he ate in autumn, so he asked Su Yu if he could eat them.

When Su Yu touched the potatoes and brought them up with great effort, he quickly explained to Su Bai: "You must not eat Xiaobai, it is poisonous, and the potatoes cannot see the light when they are underground. The potato sprouts that grow are poisonous."

Su Bai nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood: "Don't worry, elder sister, I definitely won't eat it!"

Su Yu patted Su Bai's head and praised: "Good boy..."

Now the life of the Su family is becoming more and more prosperous, which can be seen from cooking.I remember that when Su Yu first came here, the Su family was not even willing to use some oil when cooking. Now because there is no food, they can only eat potatoes. In order to make up for themselves, Su Yu now puts a lot of oil every time when cooking. No one will talk about her anymore.

This time Su Yu washed the potatoes with clean water first, and then took the peeler he entrusted someone to build a few days ago to start peeling the potatoes, humming a song, while Su Bai was helping to watch the fire. Ask what to eat tonight.

"The day before yesterday was potato cubes, yesterday it was potato chips...then today is potato shreds." Su Yu decided as a matter of course.

This is always eating potatoes, Su Bai is a little tired of eating, and can't help complaining: "Huh? Eating potatoes again..."

Su Yu began to cut the shredded potatoes. In the first few days, he couldn't cut them well, but now he can cut them thinly. "Then what do you think? It would be nice to be able to eat potatoes. There are many people who can only eat porridge now. You have to learn to be content! After a while, the food at home will come out, and you will be relieved!"

After cutting the shredded potatoes, Su Yu saw that the fire was almost burning, put the oil in the pot, and started to fry the vegetables when the oil was hot.

The ventilation in the kitchen is also not good, and a lot of oil and salt will come out after frying for a long time, Su Yu asked Su Bai to wait in the room, otherwise the kitchen would be too choking.

It just so happened that at this time Su Guan and Wang Sang came back from the outside, seeing that Su Yu was almost ready to cook, and boiled a lot of hot water for them, they began to wash their faces and eat.

Su Yusheng put the stir-fried dishes on the plate, and asked, "Which one are you going to help tomorrow?"

Su Gu'an was washing his face with a washbasin, but there was still the sound of rushing water, "I won't help anyone tomorrow, our group is the last one today, and I will start plowing the land tomorrow, otherwise I will wait until In a few days, it will not be able to catch up with the spring planting."

Su Yu knows that this place is no different from modern times, everything needs manpower to do everything, especially with so much land at home, if Su Guan does it all by himself, he must be very troubled.So today, when the people in the family went out to work during the day, Su Yu went to the village to hire a few people, preparing to let them work for the family.

"Father, I have to tell you something. I have found a few workers for you, and I will leave it to them to do the plowing. You are already injured, and you have worked hard for so long. There are so many places, you can't do it alone..." Su Yu said while setting the table.

But Su Gu'an was not happy about it, and scolded: "You are really spending useless money. I can do it by myself at that point. Why do I need someone else? Our family can earn back the money from hiring people in autumn." Is the money coming? Who are you looking for? I’ll tell them in a while that there’s no need for it. I can do it myself.”

But Su Yu refused, "Father, listen to me, our family has so much land, it's really not something you can get by yourself before the spring planting, besides, it really doesn't cost much to hire people, and we can't save money." Less manpower and material resources, isn’t it? If the harvest is good in autumn, it will definitely be no problem to earn back the money. You have to trust your daughter! I am determined to make you a landlord, and you don’t have any right now What can Fan Er do? If you are really afraid of spending money, I will use my own money. Anyway, I have already searched for everyone. If you want to be accused of treachery, you can go and find it. I don’t care. you."

Hearing Su Yu's reluctance, Su Gu'an also knew that the matter was a certainty and there was no room for maneuver, so he could only sigh: "Oh...you child really don't know how to earn money. How difficult it is..."

Su Yu didn't know why, someone suppressed their restaurant a few days ago, and it was hard to get over it.But the province saves money, and the place that shouldn’t be saved will cost money. If Ren Su Gu’an works like that for a few more years, even hard-working people will fall down. The body is the capital of the revolution. Your body is the most important thing. Compared with your body, that money is nothing at all!
Wang Sang also persuaded Su Gu'an: "Oh, come on, the child is also for your own good, so don't make that expression, hurry up and eat on the kang." After speaking, he said to Su Yu: "There is still Dayu, when you do something in the future, you should discuss it with your family first, just like this time, your father and I can finish it if we start early and be greedy."

Su Yu nodded silently, and didn't refute anything, but she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong in her heart.

While the family was eating, there was a sound of opening the door suddenly, and there was a big maroon horse parked beside the door.A man in casual clothes walked in quickly and asked, "This is Su Gu'an's house, right? I was sent by your daughter Su Qianmo to deliver the letter." Then he handed the well-protected letter to Su Gu'an's house. hand.
