    But since it¡¯s pork stewed vermicelli, it¡¯s a bit wrong if there¡¯s no tofu in it. Tofu, vermicelli and pork belly are perfect partners. He Fan also asked his mother:

    ¡°Why no tofu?¡±

    "This year, the people who grew beans in town didn't choose the seeds well. The beans they grew were not very good, and the tofu cooked in the brine also tasted a little worse, so I didn't buy it! If you want to eat it, you can go to your uncle's house in a few days.  Ask for some beans, his family has planted half an acre of beans, and they are growing fast these days, so let¡¯s order some tofu at home!¡±

    After hearing what his mother said, He Fan nodded.

    Making tofu with brine is also a necessary skill for every housewife in the farmhouse.

    It just takes some time and effort to make it. Usually there are people who specialize in selling tofu, so everyone is too lazy to order their own tofu!

    Tofu is versatile in stews. Whether it is used to stew soup, stir-fry, steam or fry, the taste will not be bad.

    The key nutrients are sufficient, basically no one can live without them!

    After He Fan kept this in mind, he went back to his room.

    When He Fan woke up early the next morning, he smelled the unique waxy aroma of potato vermicelli. After all, the whole village was drying vermicelli, and the smell was wafting everywhere.

    After a simple breakfast, we went to Uncle Qi¡¯s house for a walk.

    As soon as I arrived at Uncle Qi¡¯s house, I saw the family grinding sickles with a whetstone. It looked like they were planning to go to the fields.

    "Uncle Qi, what are you planning to do?"

    "I don't know what's going on this year. The beans in the fields ripened early. I don't plan to take them all back to dry!"

    When He Fan heard this, he understood. It was still summer, and it was still early for autumn. The rice stalks planted in every household's fields had not yet produced rice!

    "However, the beans of Uncle Qi's family were planted early, around Qingming Festival, so they matured early.

    And He Fan estimated that there might be something to do with his spiritual water.

    The half-acre of land used by Uncle Qi¡¯s family to grow beans is a special case in Qinghe Village. It is not connected to the rice fields of the villagers. It is an isolated piece of land in the first mountain col next to the breeding farm!  There was only such a small piece of fertile land nearby, and the village gave it to Uncle Qi!

    This land is in a mountain valley, and it is inconvenient to use water for irrigation. It is impossible to grow rice, so we just use it to grow beans. We usually use water and other things. For convenience, it is mixed with spiritual rain from the nearby breeding farm.  of water.

    How can these beans grow so fast?

    It¡¯s better to come early than to come by chance. Just in time to catch up, He Fan hurriedly said:

    "What a coincidence, I just happened to follow you to the fields to collect some beans and go back. My mother said she wanted to order tofu at home!"

    When Uncle He Fan heard this, he also smiled and said:

    "You kid, there is no need for you to cut them. If your family needs beans, after your seventh uncle finishes harvesting them and dries them, I will send them to your house!"

    He Fan is the golden pimple in the village, let alone a little bean. Even if He Fan, the bean of half an acre of land, is leaving, Uncle Qi probably won¡¯t have any objections.

    However, He Fan couldn't get something for nothing so contentedly, so he immediately picked up a sickle, followed Uncle Qi's pace, and said:

    "It's okay, Uncle Qi, I just happen to be exercising! You are my own family, so I won't be polite!"

    Seeing that He Fan had said this, Uncle Qi showed a smile on his face and said:

    "Okay, you young men really need to exercise more. You all stay at home like the eldest lady, never go out or take a step outside. How can you be parachuted in to eat chicken and kill dragons in the canyon all day long? How can you do that?  "

    Talking and laughing along the way, He Fan followed Uncle Qi and his family to the field where the beans were grown.

    Seeing how full the pods were, He Fan also exclaimed:

    "Huh! Uncle Qi, your beans are growing well enough!"

    "That's natural. Uncle Qi, I've worked hard! Once it's dried, you can take it back. Whether you grind soy milk or order tofu, the taste will never be bad!"

    In fact, these bean seedlings are similar to the rapeseed seedlings that He Fan harvested before. They both have many pods on a pole, and the soybeans grow in the pods.

    Some large bean growers plant so many beans that they have to hire helpers when harvesting the beans, because the beans are all at the same maturity level and will mature together. If there are not enough harvesters and the harvest is not timely, the bean seedlings in the north may be harvested.  It's over, the pods on the bean sprouts in the south have burst.

    By then, the beans will be scattered all over the floor, and it will be troublesome to pick them up!

    But fortunately, this half-acre of Uncle Qi¡¯s houseWith the land, the family and He Fan, there is no problem in harvesting.

    When they arrived at the place, Uncle Qi¡¯s family got into it in full swing, and He Fan naturally joined in.

    These bean poles are much harder than rapeseed poles. As all experienced villagers know, you need to wear better shoes when cutting bean poles. Jiefang brand rubber-soled shoes are the most suitable. This bean pole is so hard that it can wear the soles of your shoes.  Expose, you must pay attention.

    The sickle in He Fan's hand became a little dull after cutting bean poles for a while. Fortunately, Uncle Qi brought the whetstone from home.

    "Haha, Shigeko, you are sharpening your sword like a hero who is about to go out."

    He Fan pressed the sickle and rubbed it on the whetstone. Soon, the sickle returned to sharpness!

    When the bean poles were almost cut, Uncle Qi came home and pushed a large cart over and asked his family to transport the cut bean sprouts back.

    Only He Fan and Uncle Qi were left in the field finishing the work. There were a lot of bean leaves left over from cutting the bean poles. They were all over the field and they couldn¡¯t be wasted. Collecting them back would be good firewood!

    "Fanzi, let's go, Uncle Qi will show you some good things!"

    When He Fan heard Uncle Qi¡¯s words, he became more energetic and quickly put down what he was doing and followed him.

    "Good things? What good things can be found in this wilderness?"

    When He Fan followed Uncle Qi to the west corner of the land, he saw a small patch of land with a bunch of green ivy growing there.

    The leaves on the top are triangular in shape but irregular.

    ¡°Sweet potato vine!¡±

    He Fan recognized what these green vines were at a glance. They were clearly sweet potato vines!

    At this time, Uncle Qi on the side smiled and said:

    "When I planted beans, there was a small area left open, so I planted some sweet potatoes. Unexpectedly, they grew quite well! I just dug them out and roasted them today. They are all red!"

    The sweet potato vine is at the west end of the field. Previously, He Fan had been cutting bean sprouts at the east end, so he didn't notice it.

    Immediately, Uncle Qi used the sickle as a hoe and started digging in the ground.

    Within a few strokes, the soil was loosened, and then he started directly, grabbing the green sweet potato vine with a little force, and then brought out several irregular-shaped things from the ground.

    What is it if it¡¯s not sweet potato!

    Sweet potatoes are one of the most common crops in the countryside. When winter comes in the city, the streets are full of vendors pushing small carts selling them. Business is booming!

    ???????????? And I heard from Uncle Qi that the sweet potato had a red heart, which made He Fan even more greedy!

    Common sweet potatoes are divided into red and yellow. The red ones are obviously sweeter. As for the yellow ones, it is said that the carotene content in them is higher, which is good for eyesight.

    But for the general public, they naturally pay more attention to taste, so red sweet potatoes are more popular!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
