The He Family Brother of Farming

Roasted sweet potatoes

"Hey, let's play over there."

Ye Lin didn't raise his head, and pointed to the side. He He looked along and saw Ye Sen's figure in a pile of dog-tailed grass, jumping around, not knowing what.

He He couldn't help asking curiously: "What is he doing?"

"He," He Tian snickered, "catch crickets."

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Ye Lin explained again, "It's said that Huzi wanted it. Didn't I make an appointment before, and I told him in the morning that we can't go catch it together, but now I see you, I guess I want to catch it. Just go back."

He He nodded after listening, "Xiao Mori is quite loyal."

Loyalty?That's more or less to show off.Ye Lin thought to himself.

He Tian also laughed, but he didn't say anything, probably thinking the same as Ye Lin.

"Do you want to bake some sweet potatoes? I will help after eating the sweet potatoes."

Dad and Ah Mo were still busy in the field and hadn't come over to eat yet, Ye Lin suggested after He He had a bowl of porridge.

Hearing this, He He's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, "Okay, okay." He Tian didn't refuse.

So Ye Lin and He Tian worked together to clear out an open space near the shade, and built a kiln stove like an upside-down pot based on the mud dug out before, but the top was not sealed.It is very easy to start a fire, as long as you bring flint, the ground is full of dead leaves and grass, even there are many dead branches, there is no shortage of firewood.

The smoke on this side has just risen, while Ye Sen's face is covered with mud and grass juice, and a few strands of grass are still in his hair.

He shouted from a long distance, "Brother, do you want roasted sweet potatoes?"

Seeing the earthen kiln here, Ye Sen immediately knew what to do, because he had done this a lot before, but he still asked a question.

He Tian looked at him and replied with a smile: "Yes, but it hasn't started yet, just started the fire. How many have you caught?"

When asked about this, Ye Sen proudly raised his round chin, and ran over to show them with his clasped hands parted a slit, and flaunted, "Both are the eldest and the other is screaming loudly." , Tiger must like it."

He He curiously went up to have a look, but unfortunately he didn't see anything.

"If you hold on like this, you will die quickly." Seeing his younger brother's fleshy hands clasped together, Ye Lin said with some evil intentions.

When Ye Sen heard it, he was really anxious. He looked around, but there was nothing for him to pretend. He was so anxious that he almost cried. He looked at his brother pitifully and called out: "Brother~"

Ye Lin trembled when he called him, and He He and He Tian sniggered unconscionably beside him.

Facing his younger brother's persistent gaze, Ye Lin was defeated, "OK, I really lost to you! I'll help you find it." He found a bamboo cup in the basket and held it out to his hand, motioning him to put the things in his hand. put in.

Fortunately, he had put one in beforehand, and it was originally intended to be used for drinking water.

This is the leftover material of his bow and arrow, so he made a few cups out of it.

Ye Sen happily put crickets into the cup, and then took the cup and found a big leaf to cover it, and tied a piece of grass around the mouth of the cup, so that the crickets could not escape, but still remember to stick it on the leaves A few holes for ventilation.

He He saw that simple cup, but couldn't help falling in love with it, "Linzi, you made this?"

"Yeah." Ye Lin added a piece of firewood to the fire and replied, "You want it too? I'll make some when I go back."

"Okay, then I will trouble you." He He would not be polite, "But you have to sharpen your mouth, otherwise you will cut your hands. And I am not in a hurry, you can do it when you are done."

Ye Lin looked up at him and looked back, nodded, "I see."

But He He didn't notice the look in his eyes, and his mind had already gone elsewhere.

In fact, bamboo products are also good, and they have no shortage of bamboo here, so they can make some and sell them, even if they are not expensive, they are still money.

A small set of tea sets, cups, bowls, chopsticks, as large as tables, chairs, and beds can all be made of bamboo.

If it does, it's a deal.But this all requires knowledge of the market, and it seems that one needs to understand the outside world.

After the fire burned for six to seven minutes, Ye Lin stretched out his hand to test the outside of the mud block, and when it became a little hot, he raised his head and said to He Tian, ​​"It's almost there." Then he found a bigger block of mud to seal the top.

He Tian nodded upon hearing this, "It will be fine after burning these few firewood."

He He didn't know anything about this, and he did exactly what his brothers said, watching their actions with wide eyes, remembering all the details, and he would try it himself when he had the opportunity.

When Ye Lin said it was ok, he followed them and threw the sweet potatoes in.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Ye Sen as soon as he lost one. Ye Sen also preached solemnly, "Brother He Miao, don't put too big ones in, or they won't be cooked well, and your stomach will hurt if you eat them. Like me OK."

"..."

He Tian couldn't see his younger brother being embarrassed, so he helped out, "Xiao Mori is talking about yourself."

Ye Sen glared at him, pursed his mouth and said nothing, obviously another black history.

"Don't pay attention to them." Ye Lin explained to him while putting sweet potatoes in it, "Our stove is not big enough, if we put too big ones in, the heart will still be raw when it comes out, Komori is because he eats too much , and eating them raw will cause stomach ache, it’s okay, even sweet potatoes can be eaten raw.”

I know it can be eaten raw, but you still need to say, just bully me who has never baked sweet potatoes, right?He He slandered, but obediently chose the smaller one to release.

After about ten of these were placed, Ye Lin called to stop, then took a hoe and smashed the burnt clods until they completely covered the sweet potatoes before stopping.

He He asked in surprise: "This won't break the sweet potato?"

"Hehe, no." He Tian replied with a smile, "Linzi will have a sense of proportion and won't hit the sweet potato."

"Oh." He He reluctantly accepted this explanation, and asked again, "When will it be possible?"

It's all sealed and I can't see it.

"Just wait a while." It was Ye Sen who answered this time, looking at him with some sympathy, "Brother He Miao is so pitiful, he has never baked sweet potatoes before."

He Tian nodded, the younger brother used to go out to play, but after all, it was his brother who played with him, and his brother usually played around crazy like their kids, and now he came into contact with them.

"..." He He also knew in his memory that the original body had never been in contact with this, so he had no words to refute.

Ye Sen also reached out to pat him to comfort him, but He He dodged it shortly.

"If you catch a cricket, don't touch it! Look at your hand, how black it is."

Hearing this, Ye Sen opened his hand to look at it for himself, and then smiled embarrassedly, "Hehe——Sorry, I didn't notice it."

Ye Lin patted his hand touching his hair, and reprimanded: "Look, it's not just your hands, your whole body is dirty like a cat, go there and wash it, or you won't have your share of sweet potatoes later."

"Then what can I do?" Ye Sen cried out anxiously, "I'll go take a shower right away, brother, you have to wait for me to come back."

He He gloated and waved at him, "Don't come back without cleaning up."

Ye Sen ran towards the stream below like a gust of wind, really afraid that everyone would not wait for him.

Here, He Tian said, "Can't you two not tease him? What if you fall down later?"

"I know you're a nice guy, okay?" Ye Lin didn't even look at him. After leaving this sentence, he went to the side to prepare the bowls and chopsticks, and was going to call the adults over for lunch.

"That's right, I'm an elder brother who loves my brother very much. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaohe." He Tian smiled, and he still didn't forget to turn around and ask his brother, "Really?"

"...Ha ha, yes." Only then did He He realize that his brother was not really as simple and honest as he appeared on the surface.

Ye Lin was speechless, he had already discovered it.

The ignorant friend shouted to the adults in the field: "Daddy, uncle and aunt, let's rest for a while and eat something before you get busy."

"Got it, come here."

After a while, the adults went to wash their hands and came back, and the two families ate their late lunch together under the shade of the maple tree.

It's just a pot of corn porridge and a plate of green vegetables. This is what farmers usually eat.

"Who fried the vegetables?" He He asked the eldest brother next to him in a low voice after taking a bite of the vegetables.

He Tianchao nuzzled at the side, indicating that it was fried.He He looked over and was a little surprised. In their house, all the dishes were fried by his mother. His father and elder brother had never fried them. He didn't expect Ye Lin to know how to cook, and the taste was not bad.

He thought it was Li Ran who cooked it in the morning.

Probably because his gaze was too intense, or that person was more sensitive, Ye Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at him with doubts in his eyes—what's the matter?

He He quickly lowered his head and continued to drink porridge.

After eating the porridge, while everyone was resting, Ye Lin went to dig out the sweet potatoes that had been buried before, pressed them one by one, and found that they were all cooked.

"Come on, you can eat everything."

He He Yesen reached out to grab at the same time, but was shot off by their mothers.

"It's just dug out, it's very hot, it's hot."

The others were giggling there.Ye Sen didn't think much of it yet, he was already used to being trained by his aunt, He He couldn't help but feel his ears and cheeks burning, and he was so ashamed for a sweet potato!

"Hahaha," Ye Cheng laughed heartily, patted the shoulders of the two little ones with his big hands, and said, "It's okay, the farmers are not so delicate, let the children eat if they want, let alone them, I am greedy Woolen cloth."

He Er also agreed with a smile on his face: "Yes, it smells delicious. I guess I can eat several."

"Hahaha, you can eat as much as you want, just take it back and eat it."

"I'm not being polite, I'm just afraid my sister-in-law won't agree."

He Er's family hurriedly pushed the man, "How does the head of the family talk?"

Li Ran waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not a problem. This year, everyone can eat freely. If I can't finish eating, I'm afraid it will be spoiled. Otherwise, it will be a cheap mouse." He picked up one and saw that it was not so hot. Put it in He He's hand and said with a smile, "Your hand doesn't hurt, right? Be careful next time, don't worry, eat."

"Thank you." He He thanked with a face full of shame. He was really too anxious before, but this time, although it was still a little hot, he could hold it.

Peel off the charred skin on the outside to reveal the purple and white flesh inside, which is actually a flower heart! After peeling off the skin, the fragrance became stronger. This time he blew on it, and took a small bite carefully.

Good jesus, it’s fully baked, fluffy and soft, it’s really fragrant, sweet and delicious.It is much more delicious than the baked sweet potatoes sold on the street in the previous life.

Everyone was still resting and eating sweet potatoes, and there were a few shouts from far below the road.

"Uncle Cheng, is Uncle Ran here?"

Everyone stood up and looked down.I couldn't see who it was among the leaves, I could only see a figure running towards this side.

"Uncle Cheng—Uncle Ran... Your family's... grandma is here."
