Chapter 53

"This steamed bun..." He paused, thought about adjectives, and then continued: "The taste is so fluffy, it's different from the white flour steamed buns I used to eat."

Zhou Jinghao said with a smile: "This steamed bun looks not too different from the white flour steamed bun. In fact, it is not a pure white flour steamed bun. It is made of half mashed potatoes, half flour and flour. I also want to try it. Cornmeal can be mixed with White flour is mixed together to make steamed buns, maybe potatoes can also be used, but I didn’t expect it to be possible, and the taste of steamed buns is so good.”

Chen Huiyin also suggested at the side: "The steamed buns with mashed potatoes are so fluffy, if you use this flour to make pancakes, will they be crispy and fragrant?"

Chen Huiyin likes to eat fragrant food. If there are two staple foods on the table, namely naan and steamed buns, she will choose the fragrant and crispy naan.

Zhou Jinghao answered the words tacitly: "You can try it later, add some spices and knead the noodles together, it should be more delicious."

Chen Huiyin nodded in agreement with bright eyes.

Chen Boyan suggested from the side: "Brother, sister-in-law, why don't you plant less corn next year and more potatoes. The steamed buns made from potatoes mixed with flour are delicious."

Chen Boyu shook his head and refused: "Corn is easy to store, and its nutritional value is high. The taste is a bit rough, but it's not too hard to swallow."

Chen Huiyin could understand that my uncle would get tired of eating the same thing for several years, besides, my uncle is only fifteen or sixteen years old, so it's normal for him to be picky eaters, so he suggested: "Father, Aunt, why don't you go For the time being, we won’t use cornmeal mixed with white flour to make steamed buns for the time being, let’s eat potato steamed buns first, and give my uncle a change of taste.”

Seeing that his daughter had spoken, Chen Boyu didn't say anything more.

After lunch, Zhou Jing was in no hurry to clean up the dishes. When Chen Huiyin saw her parents like this, she knew they had something to say, so she obediently waited for her parents to speak.

As the head of the family, Chen Boyu cleared his throat, and then he said, "This year, our family has made a lot of money from yogurt and cold vegetables. At the end of the year, our family can still get dividends from the ice shop, so I want to wait until the taxes are paid." After that, I asked the village head to buy the homestead next to our house and build a big house next to it. If you have any ideas, feel free to mention them.”

Chen Yuming hugged his sister, frowned, and said in a childish voice: "I don't want to be separated from my sister, I want to sleep with my sister."

Zhou Jinghao explained to her son gently: "Brother Ming, you are a boy, and your sister is a girl. You are different. Now that you are getting older, you can no longer sleep with your sister."

Chen Huiyin also nodded: "Although we can't sleep together in the future, the fact that I am your elder sister will never change. We will still live under the same roof and eat at the same table."

The words that I don't want to be a boy came to my lips, and the child Chen Yuming vaguely felt that this was a bit silly, so he nodded his head in compromise.

Chen Boyu's gaze shifted from his son to his younger brother and Tang Yaoling: "What do you two think?"

Chen Boyan and Tang Yaoling shook their heads together: "No."

On the contrary, Chen Huiyin had some ideas, but obviously she couldn't say them in front of her uncle and Tang Yaoling, so she held back.

In the afternoon, Chen Huiyin finished her homework quickly, and then went to the yard to help her father and mother thresh the corn. If it was not difficult, Zhou Jinghao didn't stop her.

Chen Huiyin was working, discussing with her parents: "Father, Aunt, let's plant all the seeds of sweet corn, waxy corn and purple corn next year!"

Yes, the local corn seeds are mixed with the high-yield corn seeds brought out by Chen Huiyin, and the sweet corn, waxy corn and purple corn are hybridized to produce sweet corn, waxy corn and purple corn, but the seeds of the new varieties are not many, each about five or six catties look.

Moreover, the yield per mu of high-yield corn has also come out, which is about three stones higher than the yield of local corn, and the mixed cultivation of local corn and high-yield corn has increased the Chen family's corn yield by about one stone per mu this year.

There was no one else in the yard at the moment, so she directly expressed her thoughts: "Our family fried corn before. The tender raw corn is slightly sweet and has a good taste, while the taste of sweet corn will be sweeter, which is very suitable for cooking. Stir-fried corn, or made into various snacks, or chopped corn into pieces, stewed with pork ribs, are very good."

Chen Boyu probably guessed what his daughter was thinking, so he asked her: "Do you want to spread the seeds of sweet corn?"

Chen Huiyin nodded: "I want to promote not only sweet corn, but also waxy corn and purple corn, but waxy corn and purple corn are both suitable for eating fresh and raw, and once they are old, the taste will not be that good , but let’s collect the seeds first, maybe we can find new ways to eat them in the future, and raise their value in one go.”

This is not a difficult thing, Chen Boyu nodded: "Okay, from now on, your uncle and I will take turns to open up wasteland every day, and open up as much land as possible before the weather turns cold."

Zhou Jinghao didn't say much about it. After a while, Chen Boyan and Tang Yaoling also finished their homework and came to the yard to help threshing the corn.

Two days later, before dawn, Chen Boyu took Chen Boyan, and put six bags of corn on the ox cart, as well as the hemp and silk that Zhou Jing had prepared.

Then the two brothers drove the ox cart into the city to pay taxes, not only their family, but the whole Daping Village. Those who have carts at home use carts. Picking into the city.

The two brothers came back at noon, and Zhou Jinghao had already prepared lunch. Seeing them coming back, she poured hot water, washed their faces and hands, and after lunch, Zhou Jinghao asked, "Did the tax payment go well?"

Chen Boyu nodded, but Chen Boyan was young and energetic, so he couldn't help complaining: "The officials of the county government are really dark-hearted, and they added a finger-wide plank to the measuring bucket, and they brought more than six stones of corn. not enough."

Chen Boyu frowned when he heard his younger brother's complaints, but he didn't say anything about him. He only complained after being able to bear it all the way. He has improved a lot compared to last year. He has anger in his heart and he has to vent it, otherwise it is easy to cause accidents.

Zhou Jinghao comforted her and said, "They may not be able to fall into their pockets if they are greedy for two stones. It should be the intention of the county magistrate. Those corns that are too greedy may not be greedy by the county magistrate in the end. The frontier is the frontier pass, and the frontier army must first ensure the rations."

When Chen Boyan thought of Yu Jiedushi, the anger in his heart disappeared. With this person around, the county magistrate really didn't dare to embezzle. Thinking that those corns would end up in the belly of the frontier army, he felt much more comfortable.

After lunch and a short rest, Chen Boyu took the things Zhou Jing had prepared and went to the village chief Fang Dewang's house to discuss the purchase of the foundation and building the house. In addition to hiring a mason from the county town, Chen Boyu also invited the village chief to build the house. Qing Zhuang helped, in October, the weather will become very cold, now half of September is over, many people can finish the house by the end of the month.
