The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

People in the village don’t know the benefits of the kang yet. When the weather gets cold, the families who have kangs are very glad that they have them and are very grateful to the Su family.

During this period, the women of the Su family dried a lot of vegetables. The winter was so long, so of course they had to store more food.

In previous years, the Su family would not have dried so many vegetables, and the winters in previous years were not so cold and long.

Old Mrs. Su directed the women in the family to dry vegetables and also taught them something they didn't know before, which was dried potatoes.

These dried potatoes are a specialty of Northeast China, and people here have never seen them before.

Mrs. Su asked us to boil all the potatoes, peel them, cut them into thin and even slices and dry them in the sun. After drying, they become translucent and have a brown color.

This stewed meat with dried potatoes is the most delicious, and Su Yuanyuan likes it very much.

The Su family welcomed the autumn harvest while they were busy. Old Mrs. Su had a growing premonition that the weather was going to get colder.

The Su family became the first family in Nanxi Village to harvest in autumn. For this reason, Zhou Lizheng went to their house to persuade them: "Wait a few more days before harvesting. The crops can still be harvested. The more kilograms of grain you can harvest, the better."

Old Mrs. Su told Zhou Lizheng about her concerns: "Brother, don't you think the weather this autumn is much cooler than in previous years? I don't think the temperature will go up much. This summer was so hot, and I'm afraid there will be some abnormal weather. If there is a heavy rainstorm, or the weather gets cold early, it will affect the autumn harvest. I just want to bring the food home early so that I can feel at ease."

Zhou Lizheng felt that his sister's words made sense, so he stopped trying to persuade her. He went home and waited for two more days. Seeing that the weather was indeed getting colder day by day, he was also worried that there was something wrong with the weather, so he started the autumn harvest.

When the villagers saw that the Su and Zhou families were so anxious about the autumn harvest, they began to ask about it. The two families then told the villagers about their concerns.

Some believed it, some didn't. But the weather was indeed getting colder, and when the villagers saw that the temperature was getting lower and lower, and with the Zhou and Su families taking the lead, they all started to harvest.

Influenced by Nanxi Village and the weather, other villages have basically started autumn harvest.

It must be said that Su Andong also contributed to this. Su Andong specially went to the county to invite his former classmates to dinner, and vaguely said some of what Mrs. Su said to Zhou Lizheng that day. It more or less influenced some people.

Autumn harvest is a tiring job. Fortunately, the Su family hired someone to help, otherwise it would be very tiring.

Su Yuanyuan and her two sisters went to the fields to deliver meals. Su Yuanyuan stood by the field, looking at the yellow fields and the autumn harvest scene.

All the male members of the Su family, young and old, went to work in the fields, even the fourth son, Su Anyuan, followed them.

Mrs. Su did not stop her youngest son from working in the fields, but repeatedly warned him not to do heavy work, otherwise the family's money would be wasted. She knew exactly what to say so that Su Anyuan would be cautious when working. She also knew that she could not take care of her youngest son too much, otherwise he would become less and less confident.

Su Andong and the Su family knew about Su Anyuan's physical condition and thought it would be better to take some more care of him, so they assigned Su Anyuan light tasks. Su Anyuan did not refuse the kindness of his family, but just helped with more work as much as possible.

Mrs. Su did not ask the women in her family to work in the fields this year, but chose to hire a few more people. In addition to paying the people who came to help, they were also provided with food.

The women in the family were not idle either. They were busy every day, doing various chores at home and cooking for the people who worked in the fields.

There are many small tasks to do at home, including taking care of rabbits and other poultry. The vegetable garden needs to be cleaned up as the weather is getting cold. We need to store what needs to be stored and dry what can be dried.

In the midst of the busy work, the Su family finally finished the autumn harvest. Su An Dong had never done farm work like this before, and after this period of physical exertion, he had obviously lost weight. Su Zhihao was full of energy and was not in any condition at all.

Su Anton looked at his son's relaxed expression and felt very envious.

After the autumn harvest, Mrs. Su started to pickle vegetables. In addition to the vegetables she would pickle in previous years, she also pickled sauerkraut from the Northeast, which people here don't pickle.

Mrs. Su only explained that Su Anton had seen it in a book. The Su family members did not ask any more questions after hearing this.

A few children who were good at reading asked Uncle San which book they had read about it in.

Su Anton only explained that he had seen it in a miscellaneous note in a bookstore, but he didn't pay attention to its specific name and couldn't remember it anymore.

The pickling method of Northeastern sauerkraut is very simple.

You can choose to blanch the cabbage in boiling water or pickle it directly. Mrs. Su pickled it directly.

Put the cabbage in the jar, sprinkle a layer of salt on each layer of cabbage, and then press it as hard as possible. You can put a clean cloth under it, and then stand on the cloth to press the cabbage firmly. Finally, put a stone on the top layer. That's it. Just wait for the cabbage to ferment slowly, and you can eat it after a month.

Some families in the village did not believe in superstition and just started to harvest the land. Before they finished, the first snow of this winter came.

In previous years, this time of year, it couldn't be called winter, but it was still autumn, the time to harvest the land. But this year, it snowed.

Those who had taken the grain home were very fortunate, but those who had not taken the grain home were truly devastated.

It is hard to imagine how hard it is to harvest the land after snow. Not only will the harvest be affected, but it will also be extremely difficult to bring the food home.

Those who had not finished the autumn harvest regretted it very much, but no matter how much they regretted, it was too late.

Old Mrs. Su looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky and felt very uneasy. Her weather forecast gave her a bad feeling, and she had a feeling that there would be a severe drought next spring.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, what kind of horrible weather is this, when will it ever end.

Old Mrs. Su told Su Anton and others about her premonition.

After learning about this, the few people looked at each other helplessly. They were powerless to change the weather. They could only store as many things as possible in the space and make more preparations.

At the same time, they were helpless, but also very glad that Mrs. Su had this golden finger, otherwise they would have no idea about the future weather. Facing such unpredictable and extreme weather, if they knew nothing, just thinking about it would be scary enough.

Fortunately, Su Yuanyuan’s space has a freshness-preserving function, otherwise there would be a lot of inconvenience.

Several people not only planned to store water, but also planned to store more ice. They could find a deserted river to store ice, and it was not just for drinking. The ice was also stored to prevent any hot weather in the future, and ice could be used to cool down. If you want to drink the ice in the river, you must filter it.
