At this time, these women and children, hearing Sun's call, came to dig these sweet potatoes with tools.
Many people are powerful, and in one afternoon, they dug up all the sweet potatoes around Sun's house, which is more than two acres.
Everyone has never seen such a high-yielding thing, and a dozen or so piles have been dug in a small area of ??land.
Mrs. Sun also took out the sweet potatoes cooked at home at noon and shared them with everyone.
After everyone ate sweet potatoes, they fell in love with the sweet and glutinous taste. It was delicious and hungry. When they saw a large pile of sweet potatoes, their eyes burned.
Liu Heixiong came back from hunting. He was unlucky today. He only caught a few pheasants. How do we divide them up?
When Liu Heixiong came to the gate of the stockade, he saw someone rushing to the north of the stockade with a sack, "Sweet potatoes are divided, sweet potatoes are divided"
Liu Heixiong was puzzled, "Didn't the sun-dried sweet potato seedlings have already been divided? What are you dividing now?"
An old woman was walking slowly, and when she heard Liu Heixiong's question, she stopped, elated, "Master, we don't have to go hungry anymore in Shitou Village.
The lady saw that the sweet potato seedlings were getting old, so she tried to dig out some of the withered and yellow sweet potato seedlings, and then saw many large sweet potatoes growing out of the ground.
Old woman, I ate a small sweet potato, hey, it's delicious, sweet and soft. My old woman has no teeth, so I'm lucky. "
When everyone heard this, they realized that sweet potatoes grew from the roots of those sweet potato seedlings, and they seemed to taste pretty good.
Liu Heixiong is both curious and happy, so there is no need to worry that there will not be enough prey for everyone. Stride home to see how those sweet potatoes really are?
The same is true for other people. Because there are few prey, they didn't eat much. At this time, they are hungry. If they have something to eat, their pressure will be less.
Arriving at the door of the house, Liu Heixiong saw his wife, Mrs. Sun, leading everyone to divide the sweet potatoes into different sizes.
Liu Heixiong walked over quickly, "Yunniang, you are pregnant, so don't work so hard. There are so many people in the village, you don't need a pregnant woman to do this rough work."
When Aunt Xu heard this, she smiled and said, "Madam, if you don't listen to our words, you should listen carefully to what the boss says."
Although Liu Heixiong is a reckless man, he has a kind heart and knows how to love others. After living in Shitou Village for these years, Sun not only accepted this man, but also fell in love with this simple and honest man with a delicate heart.
"Okay, let's work hard for everyone. The big one will come back and give everyone a share. The big ones can't be eaten up, so they can be stored in a clean and cool cellar for a period of time." Sun reminded, "I'm studying other preservation There is a way, and I will tell everyone when there is a result.¡±
Aunt Xu nodded, "Madam is a delicate person, and does fine work. We are rough people, so we will do rough work, and Madam will teach us when the time comes."
Now there are a total of 298 people in Shitou Village, and the sweet potatoes on the ground weigh 20,000 catties, and each person can get dozens of catties. There are big and small, very well-proportioned.
Everyone got sweet potatoes and carried them home one after another. There were males who were okay at home, so Liu Heixiong took the middle-aged men and sent these sweet potatoes back to them. The houses in the stockade, including wooden houses and grass houses, were built one after another.
Although it needs to be repaired every year, the people in the stockade are very satisfied with being able to shelter from the wind and rain.
At the foot of the mountain, they can't live a stable life.
In the evening, every household started to boil sweet potatoes in water and eat sweet potatoes in pots and earthenware pots, and everyone was satisfied.
Liu Heixiong also ate his belly round, patted his belly, and said with emotion: "It feels so good to be full. By the way, Yunniang, where did you get this sweet potato? Why didn't I pay attention before?"
Mrs. Liu is dignified. Thinking about it carefully, she has never seen it before, and it was also this year when her daughter and Xiaolan found it in the weeds outside the yard, and then started cuttings to plant so many.
When it comes to her daughter dreaming of old gods, Mrs. Sun didn't want to say too much, so as not to cause trouble to her daughter, so she made an excuse at random, "Maybe it was less in the past, we didn't pay attention.
Our family, Yiyi and Xiaolan, saw that pigs could eat these leaves, so they picked off the fork and stuck it on the ground. Unexpectedly, they survived. We used to only think that the leaves can be eaten, but we didn't expect that the rhizomes can grow such a large fruit, which is quite delicious. "
Liu Heixiong smiled happily, and said fortunately: "It's lucky that we have these sweet potatoes, otherwise our life will be very difficult this winter. The prey is getting less and less, and I don't dare to go to the deep mountains, for fear of accidents. The salt in the village Not much left, I have to go down the mountain to change some salt."
the"The head of the family, don't worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and there is always a way." Sun comforted her husband, the village was poor, but there was no way, after all, they didn't want to kill people and set fires, and there were not so many business travelers passing by.
Even if there are, they are not fat sheep, and they cannot get much. Therefore, Sun has always insisted on encouraging people in Shitouzhai to be self-reliant. For example, rubbing twine to make sackcloth. It's rough, but wearable.
This year I raised silkworms and collected a lot of silk. These silks have been spun into thin threads, and when they are free, Sun can weave them into cloth, make them into inner clothes, and wear them inside. Otherwise, the twine is too rough and rubs the skin.
After all, the days are getting better and better, and Sun is full of expectations for the future life.
It is a chaotic world now, but it cannot be a chaotic world all the time, there will always be a time of peace. At that time, they will be good citizens and their freedom will be restored.
The entire Stone Village, because of the sweet potatoes, everyone is boiling.
Liu Heixiong stopped hunting and started digging sweet potatoes with the young men. Because the children in the village were used as pigweeds, they had no fixed place. When they saw a place, they planted a sweet potato seedling instead of connecting it together.
Therefore, according to memory, those children searched along the place where pigweed was usually cut, so a lot of manpower was needed. However, as long as you can eat enough, it doesn't matter if you are tired.
Just like that, all the people in the village, young and old, began to dig sweet potatoes.
Those sweet potato seedlings that were cut in summer also grew sweet potatoes, but they were only the size of eggs, so they had to wait a while before digging to see if they could grow.
Just when everyone started digging sweet potatoes, Liu Yiyi thought that her corn and peppers should be ripe. So in the form of playing hide and seek with Xiaolan, they came to that remote corner of the cottage.
Under Liu Yiyi's deliberate guidance, Xiaolan found corn with corn cobs, and also saw layers of red peppers like pig intestines.
This kind of chili is slightly spicy, sweet and fragrant, and it is especially delicious when made into chili sauce and chili oil.
"Miss, don't move here, I'll go and see what's growing there." Since discovering sweet potatoes in the village, which has greatly improved the lives of everyone, Xiaolan has a very strong curiosity about plants that she has never seen before. . (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
