Reborn farm girl

Chapter 65

The tender corn has been eaten for a few days, and the corn will be a bit old, and it cannot be cooked.After a few days, all the ears of corn in the field were gone, and the husks were all dry, so every family began to go to the field to bread corn.

Ban Baogu is easy to say, but difficult to do.Especially when people have to burrow into the ground when the rice is breaded, the leaves of the bread are very painful. Although it doesn't hurt to cut, but in this weather, I sweat at every turn. When the sweat comes out, the small wounds on the face will hurt. Terribly.

No matter how many people cut off the leaves of the corn, the corn will be returned as soon as it is old. If the gods don’t show mercy and it rains for a few days, the corn will sprout, and a year’s work will be wasted.So, seeing that the chaff was getting old, Liuya's family, old and young, all mobilized.

He originally thought that Liuya was still young and wouldn't let her go to the ground, but Liuya didn't think she was young. She looked young now, but she was actually not young.She couldn't watch the five girls who were younger than her all go to work in the fields, while she, an adult, could only eat and do nothing at home.

Liuya was going to die, but He couldn't do it, so he had to let her go.In the end, only Qiya was left at home to take care of Baya.

When they got off the ground, the sisters of Liu Ya took the grain-packed boards down and put them in the back basket, and put the boards all the way. When most of the back baskets were filled, they carried them out of the field and poured the grain into a big back basket.When those big baskets were full, Song Lao Er and He Shi would carry them home again.

When the mouth is dry, He will also choose some edible corn roots and give each sister one. They call this edible corn roots Gongzigen.Although this son is not as sweet as sugar cane, it is a good snack for today's children.

The whole family had worked for two or three days, and when Baogu came back from the field, it was not over yet.The corn is boarded directly from the root of the corn, and when the board comes back, the shell needs to be peeled off.Song Laoer’s family has few lands, unlike in the 21st century, where there are either buildings or bungalows in the countryside. There are many places to dry the corn, and there is no place to dry the corn.But at this time, the farmers are not good. Most of them rub half of it first, and then tie the other half of the corn with hemp rope to form a string, and hang it on the wall or hang it on the unused. Put it on the clothes pole, so that the corn will not get moldy, even if it rains.

This is not a tiring way of life, but if you rub your hands all day long, your hands will be hot and painful.At this time, Liu Ya misses the old modern rubber shoes a little bit. If she had these things, she could rub the grains directly on the rubber shoes, which would not only make her hands faster but also not hurt.

Except for Song Laoer and He Shi, Erya and the others don't seem to like to do this job.

"Oh, how long will it take to finish rubbing, my hands are sore from rubbing." Siya complained with a whimper on her red hands.

After hearing this, Liu Ya hurriedly nodded aside.

"You've just rubbed a few grains, and you're complaining about your hands hurting. You see, your sisters haven't even made a sound yet!" Mrs. He blamed.

Liuya groaned secretly in her heart: Mother, I don't want to rub anymore.

"You guys are ignorant, if there is grain, I'd be willing to rub it every day." Seeing that the older ones are in good spirits, the younger ones are lazy.No need to think about it, I know that these little ones are not willing to rub the rice.

"The children are still young, let them play for a while. They must be tired after going out with us every day for the past few days." Song Lao Er felt a little distressed.

As soon as Song Laoer spoke, the sisters didn't even rub the corn in their hands, and threw it away.It is conceivable how much they hate rubbing grain.

"Second Sister, let's choose some of these big grains to fry and eat, okay?" Liu Ya wanted to fry the corn since the day she started to cook the corn, but she never had the time. Chance.

"This bag of grain is old, how can you still fry it?" Erya looked at Liuya with some puzzlement.A few days ago, their family not only ate glutinous rice cakes, but also fried glutinous rice for rice, and finally made the glutinous rice into stewed chicken, and ate it in different ways.But I have never heard Liuya say that this old bread can still be fried and eaten.

"Stir fry with sand. Second sister, first find some big-grained bread and rub it well. I'll go to the small river to find some sand." After Liuya finished speaking, she ran out without waiting for Erya and the others to agree.

To fry this bag of grains to be delicious, it also depends on craftsmanship.Like Liuya's mother in the previous life, she always likes frying at this time, but every time the fried corn is not as good as her big cousin.

Liuya brought back the stir fry, and Erya and the others finished wrapping the grains.Sanya lit the fire, and Erya followed what Liuya said, pouring the sand into the pot first.After frying the sand, pour the corn into it.Then use a spatula to turn it over and over again in the pot.It takes a lot of time to stir-fry buns, and now the weather is hot, and Erya and Sanya haven't had a long time, sweating profusely.Siya and Wuya took fans to fan them.

After a while, the corn in the pot began to change color slowly, and some of them began to pop. Of course, it is impossible to pop popcorn.It was the first time that Erya fried the corn that could not sustain the heat. Seeing that the corn in the pot was no longer bursting, she scooped out a grain or two with a spatula, let it cool and tasted it.At the beginning, this bag of grains chewed up in my mouth, which means that it is not good.After trying several times in a row, this bag of rice is considered good.

Erya scooped the grain into the rice sieve prepared earlier, and separated the grain and sand with the rice sieve.Then pour the corn into the prepared tub.Erya went to stir-fry the rest of the pot, and Liuya waited for the corn to cool, then mixed the melted sugar into the grains, and the fried corn was considered complete.

Liuya first grabbed a few grains of corn and smashed them a few times, it was really fragrant. "Second sister, come and taste it, it's really delicious." After hearing this, Siya and Wuya stopped fanning and went straight to grab the buns to eat.As for Erya and Sanya, one had to light the fire, and the other had to keep turning the corn in the pot, with no free hands.Although the two of them are not free, Liuya and the others will not care about eating by themselves, regardless of the two who contribute.If they are not free, Wu Ya and the others will feed them.

"It's really fragrant, Liu Ya quickly bring out the corn and give it to father and mother to taste." Erya tasted it and said straight.

"Second Sister, don't worry, I won't forget Mother and the others." After feeding Erya a few more, Liuya took the pot out of the stove.

"Liuya, are you sisters ready to cook? I can smell it in the main room." Second Song asked, seeing Liuya approaching with a basin, and craned his neck.As soon as Liuya approached, Song Laoer wiped his hands on his body, grabbed a handful of corn, and smacked it into his mouth. "Huh? Why is it sweet?"

"Father and mother, you two should try it first and see if you are used to the taste. If you are not used to the sweet taste, I won't put sugar in the pot later." Liuya said.Some people like to eat sweet fried rice, some people like to eat white, but Liu Ya likes to eat sweet.This time, she is also going to put sugar in one pot, and leave one pot alone, so that she can have whatever flavor she wants.

"It's okay, you can eat whatever you like. This taste is delicious." As for the sweet taste, compared to Song's second son, He obviously likes this taste better.

"Yes, listen to your mother, you can eat whatever you like, don't worry about me." Song Lao Er is not picky about snacks, "Liu Ya, bring a bowl to your grandpa, he must like this."

"Well, I know. I'll bring some to Uncle and the others." Liu Ya still agrees with Song Lao Er thinking of sending something to Old Man Song and the others even though it's not a good thing. Things, but this is all on behalf of his heart.

However, each family brought a sea bowl, obviously frying two pots would not be enough, and Liu Ya asked He Shi and Song Laoer to quickly rub some big grains of corn, and fry another pot to avoid sending it to the old man Song. Not much left, not enough for the whole family.

In the afternoon, I had something to eat, and felt that the day would not be so difficult.After frying these buns, it is impossible to finish them in one day.Liu Ah also found something to put in a good way, lest it won't taste good if it gets wet again.

The sweet potato is ripe on June [-]th. The sweet potato here does not refer to sweet potatoes or jicama, but a wild food that is only as big as a scorpion.

Every June [-]th, no matter how big the sun is, the children in the village will gather in groups of three or five to plan sweet potatoes together.That day, the sisters of the Song family were all dispatched to dig sweet potatoes. If there were fewer people, those sweet potatoes would have been digged by others.

The sweet potatoes are also carefully planed. If the sweet potatoes are deep, there will be few sweet potatoes here, and maybe there will be none at all.For example, in some places, it looks like the Teng is about to die, but there are a lot of sweet potatoes.

It's not just that you can have sweet potatoes, like the unripe ones, which obviously cannot be picked, but some are overripe, and there are ants eating them, so this is also not acceptable.If you accidentally eat it, you may get sick.So be careful when planing sweet potatoes.

The most important thing to be careful is to pay attention to snakes.It is said that a few years ago, someone in the village was bitten by a snake while digging sweet potatoes.

With so many precautions and a large number of people, Liuya and the others didn't get much in the afternoon.After returning, I liked the sweet potatoes, and there were more than half of the wooden basins.Wash the sweet potatoes, one bite at a time, not to mention how refreshing it is.
