    Put the letter and the remittance slip on the table, go to the county to get the money from the post office when you have time, and try to return it to Yu Chenglong.

    After more than half a month of busy work, Liu Maocai organized everyone to harvest sorghum.

    The women cut the ears of sorghum, and the men dug the stalks.  Then carry the sorghum ears back to the threshing field.

    Half-grown children are responsible for peeling the leaves from the ears of sorghum, and the elderly are responsible for scraping sorghum.  The children are responsible for carrying the shaved sorghum ears, also called broom seedlings, to the open field to dry.

    Picking sorghum ears is not something ordinary people can do. Liu Maocai chose only experienced hands.  After the sorghum rice is scraped off, it needs to be planed with a broom, so the straw should not be too short or too long.

    Some people use scissors specially designed to pinch sorghum, and some use sickles. Anyway, looking at them from a distance, you can only see them waving their hands non-stop, while there are more and more sorghum ears in their arms.

    Carrying sorghum stalks is hard work, but good ones have to be sorted out. The good ones are used to weave mats. This is very useful. It can be used for drying things, and it also needs to be used for building roofs.  to it.

    The second-class ones are kept for wearing curtains, and the worst ones are kept for burning fires.

    Zhang Hongmei's job is to scrape sorghum with the old people.  Even if the hoe is placed flat on the ground, the person sits on the ground, presses the handle of the hoe with one leg, holds the ear of sorghum on the blade of the hoe, presses the ear of sorghum with one hand, and twitches the stalks on the ear with the other hand, so that the sorghum  The rice came down.

    This easy job is to tie the paint, and some people come to collect the sorghum to dry.

    Some of the sorghum crops this year did not seem to have lost production because of the variety, but the older people still said that the sorghum rice was not good, but it was much better than the sorghum in the past.

    Liu Maocai deliberately asked the largest and most successful sorghum ears to be picked out separately, because the seeds had to be kept.

    Now in the village, both adults and children are in the fields, and in the threshing field, even those with limited mobility are scraping sorghum.

    Because this job is not urgent, everyone took it easy and collected all the sorghum for a whole month.

    During this month, the family eats their own food, because the wheat is all divided, some people have no scruples, and there is not much food left, while some people live through it, and there is a lot of food left.

    Wang Hongxi was afraid that everyone would disagree, and discussed with the old lady Liu Maocai not to collect food.  But this year's will not be divided.  Just waiting for the autumn harvest to open a big canteen.

    Anyway, Zhang Hongmei has no objection. The big pot of past life history ended without persisting for three years, but it seems feasible in Liujiatun now.

    This year, Zhang Hongmei provided seeds to plant 80 mu of sorghum on 200 mu of land. A total of 24,000 catties of sorghum were produced, and the yield per mu reached 300 catties.

    The total output of the remaining 120 mu of land is only 18,000 jin.

    In the end, it was decided to eliminate the old sorghum species and leave two thousand catties of new species.

    All the food in the field has been put into the warehouse, and everyone is relieved. There will be a lot of odd jobs in the future, and the children are liberated.

    Everyone is discussing the commune and the big canteen.

    Zhang Hongmei thinks that anything is fine, but her sheep should probably belong to the public.  The ewes at home gave birth to six more lambs.  The barefoot doctor in the village helped deliver the ewes.  In his words: I used to be a veterinarian.

    Zhang Hongmei looked at the sky, she really didn't dare to be sick, didn't she also look at Xiao Hongmei at that time?

    Now there are twelve sheep, big and small, in the family, and the lambs can also go up the mountain, so Zhang Hongmei became a shepherd again.

    But what makes her the happiest is that there is a big bucket of goat milk every day. It is not because she feeds the goats well, and the milk production is high.

    I can drink goat's milk openly again, every day Liu Erya will come over to drink two bowls, obviously growing up.

    Therefore, Xiao Shitou and Sanya also come to drink every day, so the three children of the Liu family, like Zhang Hongmei, are particularly conspicuous among the dark and thin children.

    People in the village found out that it is better to drink goat milk, so many people came to ask for goat milk.

    Sensible people will give Zhang Hongmei something from time to time, and some people think it should be, this is a collective.

    Zhang Hongmei was too lazy to learn about them, even if she gave herself something, she would not accept it.  But I really can't understand those who deserve their share.

    Still, Wang Hongxi said to be fair, you have to be confident about the sheep they feed themselves, why do you have such a big face?

    Even the return of the sheep to the public is a matter of the future, so fewer people come to ask for milk.

    Zhang Hongmei cooks a big pot every day, and feeds goat milk to children when they come to play.

    Some people like to drink??For example, stones, some people don't like to drink.

    Now it's getting cold sooner or later, and I have to wear long-sleeved clothes. The cabbage in the mountains is average, but if it is dried in the sun, it will be fine.

    The radishes grown by Zhang Hongmei are growing very well. Although it is a bit early to remove the radishes now, I am afraid that there will be animals roaming around, so let's remove them first.

    Erya and Erlianzi went up the mountain together.

    Zhang Hongmei secretly asked Erya.  I was afraid that the family of the fool would not want him to help him.  Erya nodded her head.

    "You are so stupid. You have forgotten everything. The second fool's family is only his own. What's the opinion of his family?"

    Zhang Hongmei was embarrassed, Xiao Hongmei didn't have much impression of the second fool, so she didn't know.

    It took three days to remove all the radishes and cabbage.  I don't want the fruits of my labor to be cheap for the animals.

    The cabbage in the yard is kept until after the frost.

    There is a big bag of dried beans in the sun, and half a bag of dried eggplant.  They are all done at night when they go home, after all, the autumn harvest is the most important thing at that time.

    When the radish is pulled out, it is time to rub the shredded radish and dry it in the sun. I used to love vegetable buns with dried shredded radish.

    Li Cuihua came to teach Zhang Hongmei to pickle sauerkraut with radish tassels. Her mother had done it before, but she didn't like it.

    But for now, let¡¯s make a small tank, and give it away if you don¡¯t eat it yourself.

    In fact, it is very simple, that is, wash the radishes and cut them into small pieces of one centimeter, then put them in boiling water and blanch them, let them cool naturally, then choose small radishes and grate them into shreds and mix them with the radish leaves, and then serve  into the tank.  Put a few washed sorghum stalks on it, and then press it with stones.

    "After ten days, you will be able to eat the topping dishes."

    "I don't know how to cook and eat. When it gets sour, I will fill a pot and go to your house to eat."

    "Come on, I'll make vegetable pancakes for you at that time."

    This Zhang Hongmei really didn't like to eat, but she didn't refuse.

    Afterwards, Zhang Hongmei began to clean the radish sprouts, which was also blanched, but it didn't need to be cooked, just let the radish sprouts soften.  Afterwards, it was all dried on the curtain.

    Put all the big radishes into the cellar.  The remaining three big baskets of radishes were washed, shredded and dried in the sun.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
