The Wild Princess: The Space Farmer's Strong Counterattack

Chapter 23 Sweet Potato Fragrance in Little Cave Dwelling

"Finally we're going to harvest the sweet potatoes!" Thinking of the soft and sweet sweet potatoes, Qian Wu felt that she could eat a lot, and couldn't help swallowing.

"My sister must make a sweet potato kiln today, and the kiln must be big!" Qianxue seemed to be afraid that the kiln she made with her little friends in the village was too small, and there was not enough food, which made her want to eat after eating.

"Of course, this is the rule left by the ancestors." Sacrifice the kiln and wish a good harvest.

"Then make two kilns, not three!" There are quite a lot of family members, so three is better.

"You don't need to pull so much, such sweet potatoes won't taste good when they're cold, and the family is busy too."

But these two are still a bit reluctant, 囧囧!It turned out that Qianwu wasn't the only one who liked this, the two babies were both raised by Qianwu to become snacks.

"It's useful to be called elder brother, and only elder brother can set up a kiln." Seeing these three children discussing making kiln-roasted sweet potatoes in a childlike manner, Qian Bing couldn't help but tease them.

"Brother, brother!"

"They're all little greedy cats. If you eat too many sweet potatoes, you'll accumulate food." Qian Yu exhorted worriedly.

Only two acres of sweet potatoes were confiscated from Xiaoxue's family's field. This year, there is a threshing machine and spare money to rent cattle. The summer harvest process is much faster than other families.To harvest sweet potatoes, you must first cut the vines. Moving the vines back to dry in the winter is also good for livestock.

In the sweet potato field, grandparents, brothers and sisters are cutting sweet potato vines in full swing, while Qian Bing brings Qian Wu Qian Xue and Qian Shuang to make sweet potato kilns.It was a hollow tower built with earth blocks, leaving a door for burning fire.

Qianxue and Qianshuang are looking for dry clods, Qianwu is looking for small firewood to burn, and Qianbing is building an earth kiln.The earthen kiln is circular, and the bottom foundation stone uses a large piece of soil, and the smaller the soil piece is used for the upper circle layer by layer, and one side is obliquely close to each other, so that the fire can burn evenly to each piece. Soil, this requires a certain amount of craftsmanship, but many children in the countryside can build it, but if it is not organized well, it will be wasted if the middle collapses.Qian Bing carefully placed clods of soil layer by layer, and the roof was sealed in a short while. The two twins were overjoyed, but they didn't dare to jump up for fear of collapsing the kiln.The kiln of the Qianbing group can only hold a dozen sweet potatoes, so they really have to make two.

After Qian Bing formed one, Qian Wu started to burn fire inside, and Qian Bing and the others formed another one.With the burning of the fire, the earthen pagoda slowly turned black from the initial earth color, and then slowly turned red again. The fragrance of the earth wafted through the smoke, making Qianwu spit again, hoping to see through it.In her previous life, she didn't have time to enjoy delicious food at all. In this life, she has to make up for it all, so I really can't blame her for the delicious food.

After the clods of soil were burnt red, Qian Bing blocked the door of the kiln with clods of soil, and then used a small stick to gently poke off a layer of burned soil on the top of the tower. Put sweet potatoes in it.Eight sweet potatoes can be placed on the first layer, and another layer of burnt soil is covered to cover it, and another layer of sweet potatoes is placed, this time there are only six.After the sweet potatoes are placed, push all the remaining burnt soil onto the sweet potatoes, and then beat with a thick stick to break up all the burnt soil, so that the gaps between the sweet potatoes can be covered by the burnt soil , good heat evenly.In this way, even if it is completed, it can be dug out and eaten after a half hour of boredom.The other kiln was also made in the same way.

After all the sweet potatoes are stuffed, the vines in the field are also cut.Grandpa used a rented ox-plow to plow in rows with sweet potatoes, and the buried sweet potatoes were easily dug out. After plowing a row twice, he could pick up sweet potatoes in baskets.Of course, the speed of harvesting must keep up with the speed of the plow, otherwise the soil will bury the sweet potatoes again when the ox plows over again, so Qian Wu will help pick them up, and the brothers will carry a full load of sweet potatoes. Baskets of sweet potatoes to the field.

If there are cattle, it will be done soon. Their family urgently needs to buy cattle, which can not only plow the land but also set up cars.

After the sweet potatoes were harvested, the sweet potatoes in the earthen kiln were also ripe. Just when everyone needed to take a break, Qian Bing took a small dustpan to pull out all the sweet potatoes, and it was enough to fill a dustpan.

"Sweet potatoes are still so delicious." They are sweet and fragrant, regardless of whether the elderly or children like them.

"Yes, the earthy fragrance is enough!"

"The presentation is also very good."

"There's a little too much water. The sweet potatoes need to be dried for a day or two to absorb the moisture. If the kang is boring, it will be sweeter."

"Actually, sweet potatoes can also be made into vermicelli. Let's try it when we have time."
