Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 367 Chapter 367

When he got home, Lin He couldn't wait to ask Li Changhui to bring out a bag of sweet potatoes. When he learned that he needed to wash the bamboo sieve, he went to wash it himself, and brought Lin He a basin of clean water.

Peel the sweet potatoes and put them directly in the water to soak off some of the outer starch.

Li Changhui took two big bamboos and sifted them out. They were both clean, and they were newly bought this year, but they were still washed with clean water.

Then Lin He asked him to boil water, a big pot of water, a big pot like steamed buns.

After Li Changhui finished all this work, Lin He also peeled a sack of sweet potatoes and was about to wash them, when Li Changhui took the lead to wash them and drain them.

The next step is to cut, cut all the sweet potatoes into finger-thin sweet potato strips, and wash them twice with clean water.

The preparations are done, the water in the pot is boiled, and when all the cut sweet potato fries are poured into the steamer, the outside is already hot, the sun is shining on the ground, and the ground is hot.

And the bamboo sieve that was cleaned by Li Changhui not long ago has been dried in the sun.

Two long benches are placed under the bamboo sieve to avoid placing them directly on the ground, so that they can be dried faster.

"There are not ready-made dried sweet potatoes in the vegetable market. Just buy a little. It's quite troublesome to make."

Mainly because it is hotter in the kitchen in summer.

Li Changhui looked at the fire, saw that Lin He was about to open the steamer, and quickly pulled her away.

The sweet potato fries have been steamed for a while, and the water vapor is very strong at the moment, and if you don't pay attention, you will easily burn yourself.

"The ones I bought are not as delicious as the ones I made myself, and the ones I bought have only been dried once. The dried sweet potatoes are dried, then steamed, and then dried. Repeated three times, it will be more chewy and sweeter."

She used to do it by herself when she had nothing to do, but it was convenient at that time, there was an oven, and she didn't need to wait for the sun to dry.

Fortunately, the weather has been fine these days and the temperature is high, so it should not be difficult to dry them in the sun.

Li Changhui opened the steamer, Lin He picked up one with chopsticks, chopped the sweet potato into fine pieces, and it was almost ready now, he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, bring it out quickly."

If it is steamed again, it will not be formed if it is overcooked.

Li Changhui doesn't know how to make dried sweet potatoes, so Lin He naturally listens to whatever he says, and now he has quickly put all the three-layer steamer aside.

Then separate the three layers layer by layer to facilitate heat dissipation.

Lin He picked up a cage and said, "Take it outside and put it in a bamboo sieve to dry. The sun is so strong today, so turn it over at noon, and it should be dry in two days."

Li Changhui wanted to say that he carried it himself, but he didn't have time, so he could only carry the remaining two cages to keep up.

Use chopsticks to spread the hot sweet potato strips, just enough to cover two bamboo sieves, and it is a bit dense, but the effect is not big. After drying, the sweet potato strips become smaller in size, and the sticky ones can be easily separated.

Li Changhui picked one and put it in his mouth, chewed it: "It's still a bit raw."

"That's right, this one is just right, it's good to steam it after it's dried in the sun."

The raw sweet potatoes are not sweet enough, not glutinous, and not so delicious.

In just a short while, with the sun and the heat from the sweet potato fries, Lin He was already sweating on his forehead. Li Changhui saw it and pulled him back to the roof.

It's not the hottest time yet, and occasionally there is a breeze, and the temperature is high under the sun, but it's still cool in a shady place.

Looking at the time, it was still early, Lin He turned around and took the straw hat: "Brother Hui, I'm going to visit the paddy fields. I was busy yesterday, so I didn't go to see how the fish are doing."

Li Changhui wanted to stop him, but seeing that Lin He was in good spirits, and in recent months, he was indeed much better than last year, so he just followed.

"I looked at it yesterday afternoon. There are no dead ones. The seedlings have grown a lot and there are more shaded places. It should be possible to find someone to fish."

"Let's take a look first. You went to the field yesterday too early, and the sun is at its peak in the afternoon. If there are no casualties, it's not too late to go fishing."

Li Changhui was not afraid of the sun, and didn't want to wear a straw hat, but before he went out, Lin He put one on his head: "Although I'm not afraid, the sun is still uncomfortable on my face, and it's very glaring."

Li Changhui smiled, and simply let Lin He tie the rope for her, and then they set off to the field together.

After arriving in the field, Lin He realized that something was different in today's field.

Li Changhui also saw the key at a glance: "There are a lot of people working today."

Lin He: "They're all women, not bad, finally some women come out to make money by themselves."

It's not as fun to do laundry at home as it is to earn wages outside, especially in this day and age, when women do those trivial things at home, they are completely ignored by others.

Li Changhui nodded: "And it seems that they are all doing weeding work. The wages of this work are lower, and those men look down on them. Most of them have gone to open up wasteland and dig ponds."

Because it is a wasteland and there are no pesticides, the crops grow well and the weeds grow better. Unless Lin He does it, the weeds in the field will not be able to be controlled within two or three years.

But Lin He didn't dare to rely entirely on spiritual power, and used spiritual power to warm and nourish the crops. Others would only think that their crops were well grown, and there were all kinds of manure to keep up, so they would not doubt anything at all.

But if the wasteland doesn't grow grass, but only crops, it will make people feel strange, especially when Li Changhui saw the flaws at a glance when he was in Xiang'an Village.

Fortunately, Lin He reacted quickly at that time and prevaricated, but since then, Lin He will also restrain himself from weeding with spiritual power, it is best to do it manually, or spend money to find someone to do it.

As for the matter of spiritual power, Lin He has not revealed anything to others, even Li Changhui, even if the relationship between the two is much closer than before.

Some secrets are best kept secret.

"No matter how low the salary is, it's still money, and I heard from Chang Qiang that our family's salary is already relatively high, so everyone is willing to come to work with us."

Li Changhui didn't refute, but recalled for a moment: "Yesterday, Chang Qiang seemed to have mentioned that he wanted someone to weed. He was talking to Xie Jiang at that time, so he didn't ask in detail. Presumably that's what he was referring to."

While talking, the two arrived at the paddy field. This time, Lin He looked more carefully. Under the sun, the two of them turned around the paddy field where the fish was dumped yesterday, making sure that only one died this time.

"Tomorrow, I can go to the fisherman. Take a thousand catties of small fish, and put a hundred catties in an acre of land. It should be almost the same."

It can be less, but not too much. If it is too dense, the food will not be able to keep up, and it will not grow up.

"Okay." Li Changhui agreed, seeing that Lin He didn't intend to go home, he hurriedly followed, "Where else are we going?"

"Go to the pond and have a look. It's been a few days. Let's see how the digging is going."

The pond is related to raising ducks and geese. Recently, ducks and geese are laying eggs. It is really inconvenient to keep them by the river.
