The days when I am farming in the last days

After making a fuss for a while, the rain gradually became smaller, and the two of them went home with their baskets on their backs.

Tang Han was still a little unsatisfied, even though she was carrying more than ten kilograms of things on her back, it didn't affect her jumping steps.She would even deliberately step on places with puddles like she did when she was a child, and the more she stepped on, the happier she was.

Jiang Dai looked at her from behind, and she was also in a good mood, with a smile on her face that never faded.

When passing by a clump of prickly pears, Tang Han had sharp eyes and saw a big and yellow prickly pear growing near the edge of the ridge, so he stopped quickly and reached out to pick it.It's just that her hands are relatively short, no matter how she changes directions, she can't reach them.

Tang Han originally thought that this prickly pear was relatively large, and it would be a pity not to pick it since he saw it.But she still couldn't pick it up. Jiang Dai kept laughing. Although she was not necessarily laughing at herself, the stubbornness in her heart also came up. She simply put down the back basket and stepped on the edge tentatively, insisting on taking it off.

"Be careful." Seeing this, Jiang Dai hurried over and held her hand, "Let me hold you."

With someone behind him pulling him, Tang Han could use his strength more confidently. He stretched his body almost to the level of the ridge, and finally touched the prickly pear.

Although it is only a small thing, it is still very fulfilling.

Tang Han stood firm, scraped off the thorns on the top, cut the prickly pear in two, and handed the other half to Jiang Dai, "Try it, one of our local specialties."

"It seems that I have never seen it elsewhere." Jiang Dai took a bite, the taste was very sour, but it had a unique fragrance and flavor of wild fruit, and after chewing, she could taste a hint of hidden sweetness. good.

"I heard from my mother that a factory opened in the county seat, specializing in the production of prickly pear juice and dried prickly pears." Tang Han said casually, "Tell me, how about I wrap up a mountain to plant this?"

Jiang Dai once asked Tang Han what he planned to do after resigning and returning home.At that time, Tang Han said that she hadn't thought it through yet, but of course she didn't have no plans at all. Tang Han knew best what was there in the local area. However, she also went out of her way to find out which ones had economic effects. Final decision.

At this time, everyone no longer expects to completely eradicate the epidemic in a short period of time, so they can only follow this threat and work hard to live their lives and get everything back on track.

So although there is still an epidemic outside, Tang Han feels that these things can also be considered.

"It's pretty good." Jiang Dai said, "Red berries, even raspberries, can also be grown. I bought raspberry juice before, and the price is not cheap."

Tang Han nodded, didn't say much, put his back on his back, and continued walking.

By the time the two dawdled back home, the rain had almost stopped.Although the sky is still not clear, it looks like it will continue to fall after a while.Because it was planted not long ago, there was nothing wrong with the shed Tang's father built. Because the ground was raised too high, none of the corn got wet.

But since it's raining, of course we have to deal with it as soon as possible and put it away.

Tang's father, Tang's mother, Qin Yu and Xiao Ze were all in the shed, tearing corn husks.The local storage of corn is to leave a few leaves after tearing, weave the corn into strings, and then set up shelves on the ceiling and hang them up.This allows for better ventilation and pest control.

This is actually a big project, so hurry up.

Tang Han and Jiang Dai put down their baskets. Of course, the rain-soaked corn could not be put together with others, so they dumped it in a dry place under the eaves, and took it out to dry after the weather cleared.

The two went to take a shower and changed clothes, and then went to help in the shed.

Tearing corn husks is also a technical job. If you tear it with bare hands, your nails will not be able to bear it after a while, so there are also special tools.One end of the bamboo slice is sharpened, two holes are punched in the middle, and a ring is made through the softened corn husk, which is put on the finger, and the corn husk can be torn in two by poking with the pointed part.

Not all corns are lucky enough to be hung on strings, usually the best ones are selected.

If it is a little worse, just tear off the shell, throw it aside, and use a thresher to get the corn kernels off, dry them and put them in bags.Corn is the staple food of pigs here, and those with poor appearance will be given priority next.

In addition, there are some corns that are not in a hurry, the shell is still blue, and the corn kernels inside are still pulpy, and they are not fully mature.This can be left to eat.

As for the torn corn husks, they will be stored and used as one of the forages for the old cattle to spend the winter.

After tearing up all afternoon, the corn piles in the shed were not much less, so after dinner, I turned on the lights in the yard and continued to work.

It rained again at night.In this kind of weather, sitting in a shed and busying yourself with the splashing rain not far away is also a very special experience.I was busy until after ten o'clock, and everyone was sleepy before going to bed.

As the saying goes, one autumn rain and one cool.After this rain, the temperature at night dropped a lot. In the middle of the night, Tang Han felt cold in a daze, so he kept going to a warm place.When I woke up in the morning, I found myself stuck in Jiang Dai's arms.

"The cool summer quilt can no longer be covered." She sat up from the bed, yawned, and complained to Jiang Dai, "I have to take out the thin cotton quilt."

"I think it can be called general." Jiang Dai pointedly said.

Tang Han rolled his eyes, ignored her, jumped out of bed, first went to take out the cotton core of the thin quilt, and planned to ask Mama Tang to find a quilt cover to cover later, so that it can be covered at night.

The weather in the next few days was not very good, and the autumn rain continued intermittently, so everyone did not go out, and continued to stay at home to process corn.However, there are many people, and there is Ozawa, the pistachio. Although it is a very boring job, it is quite interesting.

After a few days, all the corn has been processed.The ones with poor quality were randomly piled up on the ground, waiting to be dealt with later.The ones that are in good condition have been woven into strips about half a meter long, waiting to be hung on the ceiling.

This is also a laborious task, and of course it is unrealistic to rely on people to lift it up.So it was Tang's father who climbed up and hung a fixed pulley on the shelf, and everyone worked hard below to lift the corn up, and Tang's father continued on the top and hung them on the shelf.

The last thing left is a basket of relatively tender corn.

Although Tang Han fried corn on the stove to eat when he was free these days, there were still a lot of leftovers.And if this thing is not stored, it will get old after a few days.

Now that there is electricity and the refrigerator can be used again, some of the corn is peeled into corn kernels, packed in fresh-keeping bags, and put in the freezer layer of the refrigerator to freeze, so that fried corn can also be made in winter.

But there is still a lot left, so Tang Ma thought, why not make a pot of Baoguba.

This thing is very simple to make. Use a small mill to grind the tender corn into mud. Because it can't be ground into pulp, you can only put a little water, and it is more troublesome to grind it.Tang Han and others were naturally dragged by Tang Ma to do coolies.

After the corn is ground, you only need to put a little white sugar, mix it well, and then scoop it into the cleaned corn husks.

Because the shell itself is curved, like a small boat, so the corn mud will not leak out when scooped in.To make larger ones, fill with one leaf and cover with another.For smaller ones, fill only half and fold the other half of the leaves back to cover.

Put the steaming rack in the big pot, put the wrapped corn mash in one by one, cover the pot, put a towel around it to seal it, and heat it to steam.

The Baoguba steamed in this way is soft, glutinous and sweet.

It tastes very good and is very nutritious.

While eating, Tang Han asked Tang's mother dissatisfied, "Mom, you haven't made yellow cake for many years, right? Do you want to make it this year?"

"You can't stop your mouth if you eat it?" Tang Ma glared at her, "That's so troublesome, I'm too lazy to do it. If you want to eat it, you can make it yourself."

"I don't know." Tang Han retracted his neck and muttered softly.

Who knows Tang's mother is very sharp-edged, and when she heard it, she yelled at her, "No, you can learn, but do you want me to cook for you for the rest of my life?"

Tang Han thought that was of course good, but he dared not say it out loud.Seeing this, Jiang Dai smiled and said, "Auntie, do it if you are free. Tang Han and I will help you, and we will do all the dirty work. You just need to direct."

Tang Han nodded quickly.Ozawa also chimed in, saying that he wanted to eat.

Of course, Mama Tang couldn't stand it anymore, so she quickly compromised, "All right, I'm here for you, otherwise I really don't bother to waste this time."

It's really a lot of work, and it takes a whole day to make this thing.

The glutinous rice should be steamed first, after steaming, take it out and let it cool, then add brown sugar and stir.Then grind soybeans again, this time instead of grinding soybean milk, but grind them into a shape similar to bean dregs or bean paste, then add it to glutinous rice, add sugar and mix well, then knead vigorously like kneading dough, so that all kinds of materials are smooth Mix together so that the taste will be fine enough.

Tang Ma's unique secret recipe, this step also needs to add some corn. ——After the old corn is cooked, it is crushed into corn mash, and it is also added to it and kneaded well.

After that, knead the kneaded dough into a suitable size, usually a long cylindrical shape, but there are also square ones sold on the street.Wrap it with washed and boiled corn husks, tie them up, and finally steam them in a steamer.

It takes a lot of effort when steaming. You have to spread straw in the steamer, put a layer of wrapped dough, then spread another layer of straw, put a layer of dough, and then stack them on top of each other, and finally cover them. After a few hours, the final product is golden in color, sticky and thin, and will stick to the kitchen knife when cutting, with almost no graininess.

When eating, cut it into slices with a knife, steam it and eat it directly, put it on the charcoal fire or fry it directly, the taste is very good.

I don't know if it's because he has put in a lot of effort, but Tang Han feels that this year's yellow cake is especially sweet.

Because this thing can't be kept for too long, but with such a lot of effort, it is impossible to make only a few at a time, so Tang's mother made a lot, and when it was done, she took it to neighbors or relatives, so Tang Han went again Once at my aunt's house.

The author has something to say: I am hungry for writing.

And Chapter 68 is finally unlocked...
