A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 98 [098] Rice Flower Fish
Sesame seeds must be harvested when they are green. If they are too dry, the sesame seeds will be fried into the ground. Therefore, before receiving the sesame stalks, Zhuo Lin will be very active in picking sesame leaves in the ground. There are big bags and big bags Pull it home, wash it, dry it in the sun, and eat it like a wild vegetable in winter.

After the sesame sticks are brought home, they still need to be dried in the sun. After drying, the sesame seeds are knocked out, and the remaining sticks can be used as firewood.

At the same time, corn stalks are also used as firewood. These corn stalks are good fuel, and they are usually piled up in front of and behind each house.

Their family feeds the chickens, so cotton leaves, soybean leaves, etc. are picked and chopped, and fed to the chickens, not a single drop can be wasted.

There is no way, I have survived the most difficult time, and now as long as I get home from the ground, I cherish it very much, and there is no room for waste.

After harvesting corn, sesame, soybeans, and cotton, they began to harvest sweet potatoes. This year, the sweet potatoes grew very well, especially those grown in the river beach. The ears of sweet potatoes that were pulled out weighed two to three catties each. Many of them are split open, and there are many varieties. Red hearts and white hearts are mixed with seeds, which can be eaten roasted or boiled and dried.

Once the sweet potatoes are pulled out, the sweet potato leaves are useless, so quickly brush them off and pile them into bundles. Dad can still get them back home and sell them to colleagues at a super cheap price of ten cents and five catties.

The sweet potato stalks can be fried and eaten, and the sweet potato leaves can be eaten as vegetables. The taste is not bad, so the market is really good.

Since their father went to work, they have bought dozens of catties and sold them almost every weekend. Although they may only get [-] cents, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, right?

In addition to sweet potato leaves, they also bought endless peppers and tomatoes grown by themselves. Because they are colleagues, they can’t sell them at a higher price than the vegetable market, so they usually don’t make much money, so they charge a cost price, anyway. They couldn't finish it even if they kept it. Except for the marinated ones, all the excess was sold.

Throughout the summer, the money earned in this area is about six or seven yuan, not much, but at least it is guaranteed not to be wasted, so that every fruit that is planted has its final sublimation.

As soon as the sweet potato fields were harvested, the crops in these wastelands were basically collected and returned home. There was no water in the fields for a long time. Now there is only a thin layer of water left, and even the fish find it difficult to breathe.

As soon as the weekend comes, father, mother, aunt, and all brothers start harvesting fish from left to right and from south to north on the family's four acres of land.

Everyone carried a bamboo basket, and the fish collected were poured into bamboo buckets filled with water, one, two, three...

Each fish is about the size of a catty. There are two types of fish, crucian carp and carp. After bending over for a day, we finally harvested a hundred fish.

But they put in [-] fish at the beginning, and they always felt that this was not enough, so they continued the next day, and even asked people from the same village for help.

Finally, after repeated inspections, almost 260 fish were harvested, which is equivalent to the remaining 100 fish, and they were either lost or died.

More than 200 fish, almost 200 catties, took out a dozen or twenty fish to thank the villagers for their help. The uncle and mother had already prepared tanks for the remaining fish, prepared to pickle the fish, and did not plan to sell them, because This is the meat that they managed to raise, so it should be used as a winter reserve.
