"That's still okay. If you grow so many potatoes regularly, you will definitely make money." I said sincerely.
"I can't make much money, because it's because of it, it's only 2 cents a catty."
While talking, he and his cousin continued to dig potatoes.
As time went by, rows of potatoes were dug out by us, and the aunt also carried several stalks of potatoes back and forth.
As the afternoon approached, it finally announced the end of today's labor.
It is not particularly tiring, because picking potatoes is not considered physical work.
Besides, there is a lot of fun in it.
"Old cousin, let's go home." After the aunt carried potatoes on her back again, my old cousin and I cleaned up, took the stuff and prepared to go home.
The inside of the courtyard dam is already full of freshly dug potatoes.
Potatoes covered with dirt are not beautiful, but they are very real.
Seeing this pile of potatoes, I feel very kind.
A large part of them was picked up one by one from the ground and dug out.
"Old cousin, take a break first, I will return the pants to Ren Lei." I'll go! If my cousin didn't say anything, I would have forgotten to return Ren Lei's pants! Fortunately, fortunately!
"Ren Tao, come and help me!" The aunt shouted while arranging the potatoes.
"Here we come, ma'am. What can I do for you?"
"Help me spread out these high piles of yams. Don't make them too close together, or they won't dry in the sun."
"Why do you want to dry the new potatoes?" I wondered.
"It doesn't have to be in the sun. The main reason is that the roof is relatively humid. If it is left for a long time, it will easily grow sprouts, so it will be unbearable."
I see!
"Then why don't you wash the mud and dry it?"
"A bit of mud is easier to preserve." The aunt continued to explain.
Well, although I don't know the secret to the preservation of this soil at all, it should be useful anyway, right?
Squat down and spread out the piles of potatoes one by one, so that they can fully bask in the sun.
I hope you don't germinate!
"Old Cousin, let's go out to play." The old cousin who just returned his trousers was followed by a few familiar friends. Yes, you read that right, they are the few who helped fish together in the morning.
"Zhang Jun, where are you going?" asked the aunt.
"It's just outside, didn't we catch fish this morning? We're going to take the fish out and grill it to eat." The old cousin explained.
"Be careful, don't take off your clothes and trousers again, and be careful not to set fire to the surrounding things when grilling fish." The aunt kept instilling the knowledge of fire prevention to the old cousin.
"knew!"
"Ma'am, my cousin and I will go grill fish together." After finishing speaking, I put down the potatoes in my hand and set off with the team.
"Okay, be careful!" The aunt's concerned voice came from behind, although I don't know if she is worried about us getting rid of our pants again or something else.
"Old cousin, where can we go to grill fish?" I thought we would find a place to grill fish in the nearby woods, after all, it is relatively close, and firewood is easier to find.
"Let's go, go to Yujiayan." The Yujiayan mentioned by the old watch is in the opposite direction from Qinggang River, but it is closer to my house.
"Did you run that far?" I wondered.
Yujiayan is at least 2 miles away from Laobiao's house, and it feels almost as far away as Qinggang River. It's just grilling a few small fish, there's no need to run that far, right?
"Go, you will find out later."
The old cousin stopped talking, so I had no choice but to continue walking with him.
After a while, we stopped at the door of Huang Yang's house.
"Huyang, go back and get some chili noodles, pepper noodles, salt and monosodium glutamate, and cumin powder. Hurry up!" said the old cousin.
"Why me? Did you take the miscellaneous just now? My mother found out and wanted to beat me!" Huang Yang refused.
"You saw Sarah, my mother is at the head of the house, she knows it's impossible for me to take it."
"Your mother is not on the roof, so you use small pockets, one for each, she won't be able to find it." The old cousin gave Huang Yang an idea.
"Then help me see the door. If my mother comes back, you can shout loudly that I will be inside so that I can prepare in advance." After being told, Huang Yang went home to make condiments in a daze. .
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Huang Yang still did not come out.
"What's the matter? It's taken so long to get a seasoning." BigThe family began to get impatient.
"Huang Yang, can you come out yet?"
"It's coming, right now! Don't rush!" After deliberately lowering his voice, Huang Yang appeared more cautious.
"Come on, seasoning!" After passing four or five small plastic bags to the old cousin, Huang Yang locked the door of the house again, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Salt, monosodium glutamate, chili, pepper"
"Is there no cumin powder?"
"I don't have this thing at home, which one of you has it, bring some out." As soon as Huang Yang finished speaking, everyone shook their heads unanimously, indicating that they didn't have one at home either.
I don't know if it's really not there, or it's too much trouble.
"Forget it, these are enough! Let's go!" After taking the seasoning, the old watch led the team to the destination.
Yujiayan is relatively open here, without the shelter of bamboo forests and trees, only low weeds.
There are no people around, so it is very suitable for things like picnics.
"Okay, everyone, listen to me, it's not easy to catch this little fish today, everyone lost a set of clothes and pants, so this fish must be shared! Make it delicious!"
"I will arrange the next division of labor: I, Wang Taozi, will be in charge of killing fish."
"Old cousin, Zhang Jiajia and Huang Yang are in charge of collecting firewood."
"Wang Qiangqiang is in charge of looking for branches for the fish to grow, otherwise it will burn."
After simply arranging the division of labor, everyone gathered around Yantou and spread out to find the targets they needed.
Next to the Yantou, there is an open space of more than ten square meters. The main place for grilling fish this time is set here.
Since I was in charge of collecting firewood, I started looking for things that could burn.
There are no bamboos or trees around, so the firewood is still a bit troublesome.
There are some dried up weeds, but it doesn't feel suitable for grilled fish.
The branches are very suitable, but there are too few!
After searching around, there was still no result.
On the other hand, Zhang Jiajia and Huang Yang are in the same situation.
What should I do? It can't be because there is no firewood that the grilled fish can't be eaten today, right? That's not okay! I lost my clothes and pants because of it! Must eat!
Looking up into the distance, I secretly made up my mind! let's go!
Since there is no firewood here, I will go to a place with firewood!
About 400 meters away from here, there is a forest, I ran over quickly
When I came back, everyone had already lit a fire and roasted it!
"Oh, you picked up so much firewood and came back! I'm worried about not having enough firewood, and I'm worried that it won't be able to bake well!" Seeing me holding a pile of firewood, the old cousin was very happy from the bottom of his heart.
Put down the firewood and stick it on the twigs around the fire, and the little fish are steaming. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
