Chapter 61 Digging the Sweet Potato Well
Although he didn't want to say it, the villagers would also estimate it, and each of them wondered how much money he could earn.

Although Liu Junhao has been busy with the less than one-acre plot in the yard in the past six months, he can't help but have the skills. Watermelons are planted on acacia trees, and all of them are sweet and sweet.Those few jujube trees are also bigger and more fruitful than other people's. Selling the jujubes alone may cost thousands of dollars, let alone the eel, which is a big money maker.

But the villagers are jealous, but they don't have any wrong thoughts.This is mainly because Liu Junhao is really a good person, and he doesn't care about things.Take the melons, fruits and vegetables in the yard as an example. Anyone in the village can pick and eat them at will. Who hasn’t picked vegetables from his yard in summer?

There are also those sweet dates, adults are lucky to know that they are sold for money, so they just taste a few fresh ones, but the bear children of each family spend there almost every day to eat dates, Liu Junhao didn’t say anything, and there are computers ...

While chatting, everyone talked about the wild boars raised by Ermazi, and one by one asked when the wild boars would leave the pen.Because wild boar cubs are afraid of strangers, the two of them rebuilt a pigsty in the backyard, generally keeping strangers away, and no one knew what the wild boar looked like.

"What's out of the cage, as long as I get out of the cage in May next year, I will be thankful." Er Mazi said with a sad face. Now he regrets that he was too impulsive and didn't listen to people's advice.

The two wild boars tossed the couple very hard, not to mention the medical expenses of a hundred and ten yuan at first, but now they are very picky eaters when they are half-grown, and they eat bran all the time, with a little bran mixed into it Then he started humming, slamming his mouth and refusing to eat.

The beast couldn't be beaten, and couldn't understand the curses, but the couple had to go to the town every few days to buy a big bag of bran.

After a few months, I haven't seen the benefits yet, but I bought a few big bags of Fuzi. A bag of Fuzi costs 60 yuan, and he spent four to five hundred for just buying Fuzi.

It can grow meat by eating bran, but wild boars are different from domestic pigs, they don’t gain fat just by eating bran, they are long and thin, and they don’t grow two taels per catty as they told him at the beginning.But so far, the wild boar has been fed for several months and only weighs sixty or seventy catties, which is still half a pile, and it will not be enough to eat by the New Year.

Liu Junhao chatted for a while and just wanted to go back, but was stopped by Er Mazi again.He said he was going to help dig the sweet potato well in the afternoon.

When Professor Zhao was building the house, Er Mazi also went to help once, and remembered Liu Junhao's abnormal digging ability, like a small excavator.This time he dug a sweet potato well by himself, the first thing he thought of was Liu Junhao, and he was going to talk to him after lunch, but he didn't expect to meet him here.

Anyway, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Liu Junhao readily agreed, and went to Er Mazi's house after lunch, and saw a large pile of sweet potatoes, white and foreign, piled up in the hood of his house.

Liu Junhao casually took a macaroni and washed the soil in a bucket, then stuffed it into his mouth and began to chew.

There are two types of sweet potatoes here. One is white sweet potatoes, which are very large and weigh a pound each, but they taste a bit clumsy and not very sweet.The other is the macaroons he eats now.This sweet potato has been stored for a while, so it tastes crunchy and sweet, and the coolness in the mouth travels down the throat to the stomach, which is very comfortable.

Probably the reason why he has been eating sweet potatoes in the past few years, Liu Junhao is quite disgusted with this kind of thing, and he has never grown it at home.

But a few days ago, when Mao Zi came to play with the computer at home, he took half a sweet potato bun in his hand.Seeing the rarity, he couldn't help breaking a little bit and tasting it. It was sweet and sour, and it tasted delicious.So he broke more than half of the steamed bun in Maozi's hand, and sat down by the computer to relieve his hunger.

Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally ate a lot. After eating two in a row, he stopped and asked where the sweet potato well was.

In order to save trouble, Er Mazi chose not to dig the sweet potato well elsewhere, and planned to dig directly in the corner of his own yard.

The sweet potato wells in Liujiagou are generally dug very shallow, because they dare not dig deep at all, and water may seep if it is a little deeper. If the well is too wet, the sweet potatoes are easy to rot.

But people have a lot of ways, if digging downwards is not enough, then pile upwards.After the sweet potato well is dug, soil is piled on the well, and the sweet potato well is made into a small bunker-like high platform, so that more sweet potatoes can be stored.

Er Mazi's family planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year, and harvested one or two thousand catties, so the sweet potato well was dug very large.

After choosing the site, the two started digging alternately with small heads. After a short while, they dug to a depth of more than two meters. Liu Junhao saw that Er Mazi was digging too slowly and asked him to pull soil on top, while he put on a straw hat Squat down in the well and dig it open with a small head.

The space in the well was small and airtight, and soon his body became hot and dry.In order not to let the wet mud stain his clothes, he simply took off his shirt and started digging under his bare arms.Liu Junhao's hands and feet were indeed much faster than Er Mazi's. After a while, two large piles of soil were piled up in the yard. It was not until Er Mazi said that it was almost done, that Liu Junhao climbed up like a monkey grabbing the rope.

After working for a long time, he stopped sweating profusely, and he ate another cold sweet potato to be completely thorough.

The sweet potato wells that have just been dug are not immediately put into the sweet potato wells. They need to be aired for a few days to make the inside of the wells dry.

Er Mazi saw that Liu Junhao seemed to like sweet potatoes very much, so when he left, he specially asked his mother-in-law to get a snakeskin bag for him to take back to eat.

Liu Junhao didn't refuse either, just remember this kind of favor in the future.Without pricking the mouth of the snakeskin bag, he just grabbed the snakeskin bag and threw it over his shoulder, and walked towards home with one hand.This bag of sweet potatoes weighs only seventy to eighty catties, and it is very easy to carry.

In the evening, he gave Professor Zhao half a basket of sweet potatoes, and asked them to cut them into pieces and cook them in a pot while they were cooking.

Then I went back to the house and started to cook my own food. I haven't eaten this food for several years, but now I miss it a little.Tonight, I will eat cold shredded sweet potatoes, and I will throw two in the rice porridge later.

After Liu Junhao finished thinking, he quickly took a white sweet potato and cut it into strips as thick as little fingers, and then threw it into cold water for rinsing.Generally, white sweet potatoes are used to make cold sweet potato shreds. The main reason is that it contains more sweet potato tendons than other sweet potatoes. Take out the Zhan Litou, sprinkle some young ginger powder, add vinegar and salt, and then mix it with sesame oil to eat it. It is absolutely delicious.

After adjusting it with chopsticks a few times, Liu Junhao added a piece and put it in his mouth. It tasted crisp and raw, without sweet potato tendons at all. It tasted a bit like potatoes, but it was more refreshing than potatoes, and there was a hint of saltiness in it. The sweetness, the taste is quite unique, and it is a good side dish.

Although sweet potatoes are very sweet when eaten raw, they have no bones and bones. After being cut into strips, they are completely boiled in boiling water, and they cannot be picked up at all.

At this time, there was a "gurgling" sound in the cauldron, and the sweet potato rice porridge was almost cooked.So, with steamed buns, ginger and sweet potato shreds with vinegar and chopsticks, and two mouthfuls of sweet sweet potato and rice porridge... He let go of his stomach and ate it, but he accidentally ate too much food, and his stomach was always full of bones in the middle of the night He had no choice but to put on thick clothes and get up to find Shanlihong for an appetizer.

To say that the weather this year is obviously much colder than usual. It has only been a few days since November of the lunar calendar, and people are wearing thick clothes for winter.

It doesn't matter if the weather is cold, but it has been foggy for a week, and when we wake up in the morning, we can't see people clearly when we are five or six meters away from each other.

Zhang Qian was afraid that something would happen to the children going to school in such a heavy fog, so she discussed with Teacher Wang and asked them to review their homework at home in the morning and come back to class when the fog completely cleared.

Such a foggy weather naturally can't talk about basking in the sun. Although he can't go out, Liu Junhao will still have fun for himself.

These few days, his cat is at home, playing computer, playing games, teasing rabbits and dogs, and by the way, roasting a sweet potato under the stove to eat, living a leisurely life.

Just after eating in the morning, he took out the big sweet potato that was baked under the stove, knocked off the burnt ash on it, and gnawed it in his arms. The yellow, warm, and fragrant sweet potato meat just looked at it and made people salivate .

He was enjoying his meal when he heard Zhang Qian calling him anxiously outside the yard, asking him if he had seen his Qiuqiu, but Qiuqiu seemed to have run away.

It should be said that since having this teal duck, Zhang Qian has treated it as a treasure.As long as it can be brought to the occasion, Qiuqiu is usually brought to class, even every time I go to school, Zhang Qian walks in front, and the water duck follows behind with a "quack".
