Chapter 26
"Xinyu, do you know how to keep this yam?" Wang Jianqiang asked while smoking.
"Uncle, I don't know, but this thing is grown by myself. I think we can come here next year and plant the yam pole directly." Jiang Xinyu and Wang Ailing were picking yam beans.
"Okay, let's try next year?"
"Then why not keep seeds now?"
"Sister, if someone discovers this disaster year, we still can't stay. Let's take it seriously. Work harder next year and plant it."
"I really didn't think of this." After waiting for almost two hours, Sun Ermei came over with the basket. After that, the three of them made their first trip.
Today, Jiang Xinyu and the others learned to be smart. They took advantage of the dawn to quickly pick up branches, otherwise they would suffer at night.
"Sister, I'll go around the neighborhood. You pick it yourself."
"Yeah, don't go far."
Jiang Xinyu walked up the mountain and found a pepper tree, "Sister, come up with a bag. There are peppercorns here, let's pick some."
The two of them had the intention of plucking their hair by the geese, and the tree could reach them, so they both picked them.
"Let's go on tomorrow. There are so many good things in this mountain."
"Sister, I will definitely rest tomorrow. Come with Brother Xiaolong."
"Okay, I've got something good for you to bring back."
It was dark, and the two of them sat beside the fire to roast steamed buns. The taste of this was quite good, not so hard. The aroma of grain also floated out.
On the second trip, the two of them went back together, and the same operation was done yesterday.
Jiang Xinyu's supper was still meat buns. There was no way to go. She was too greedy. The vacuum-packed chicken legs were made of chicken legs, but the amount was too small to eat.
After seeing off Sun Ermei, Jiang Xinyu put away the yam on the ground and would sleep until she woke up tomorrow. The wall of the courtyard was low, so it would not be possible to put it on the ground like this. After packing up, she went to bed and thought that no one would knock on the door tomorrow.
The next day, no one came to knock on the door. Jiang Xinyu slept until after nine o'clock and stretched her waist in the quilt. If she ignored the cold kang, it would be really comfortable.
I became lazy and packed up my bedding, got up to boil water and wash.
I wanted to eat rice, but when I looked at the aluminum basin, I really didn’t have the courage to use it. Finally, I took out my lunch box and steamed the rice.
I steamed a bowl of egg custard for myself and took out a vacuum-packed bone-detached chicken. This life is so beautiful.
After eating, I lay on the kang to digest food again. I didn’t go out today.
After getting sleepy, I covered my quilt and lay down to sleep.
I didn't get up until two o'clock in the afternoon and felt my bones soft. I ate a steamed bun and the remaining half of the chicken. Then I went into the cellar, lit candles, and sorted out the yams.
Jiang Xinyu probably had more than a thousand pounds. She looked at the pile of yams and smiled, putting all the injured and straight into the space. She prepared to take out the broken ones and steam them at night. Although there was no blueberry sauce, there was white sugar yogurt, which would be delicious when mixed with yam paste.
There are only a hundred kilograms of yam left in the cellar. It can be kept in the space for more insurance and can be kept fresh. There is no need to worry about it being broken.
When I left the cellar, I saw that it was already past three o'clock, so I didn't take a shower today, so I burned fire and steamed yam.
The door rang, and Jiang Xinyu opened the door and saw Wang Ailing.
"Sister, have you gained something today?"
"I didn't go, my mom asked me to rest for a day. What are you doing? I'll bring you that basket of yam tonight."
"No, I can't eat so much by myself, don't refuse, is it necessary?"
"Okay, will we go up the mountain tomorrow?"
"Go, see if there are any other seasonings tomorrow?
I'm steaming yam, sister, please take it back to some?"
"My house also steams yams. You can keep them yourself. OK, I'll come here to call you tomorrow."
In the evening, Jiang Xinyu ate the yam paste I longed for. Not to mention, it tasted really good.
Because I was so tired that I slept for so long during the day. Before nine o'clock, Jiang Xinyu became sleepy again.
The next day, I cooked eggs for myself. Actually, I wanted to eat eggs, but the taste was too big and I really didn’t dare to do it. I still lacked oil and water in my stomach.
Steamed buns, milk, eggs, and breakfast full.
When Wang Ailing came over, she told her that Wang Xiaolong had already gone to the mountains.
I didn't find anything today, nor did I get any seasonings, but the three of them were not disappointed. The most important thing is to be content. The food has already entered the house, but I just don't find anything anymore and I'm satisfied.
The three of them went back and cut off the branches for Jiang Xinyu again.
The three of them discussed that they would not go up the mountain tomorrow and go to the market.
"Sister, go call me tomorrow."
"Well, don't get up too early, there is actually nothing good in the episode."
"I'll buy linoleum tomorrow, and the leaves in this yard should be stacked up."
After returning home, stack the branches to the edge of the woodshed, so that both sides are against the wall and are not easy to fall.
I cooked quick-frozen dumplings for myself at night, and I ate them in my mouth with three fresh stuffings. I feel like I am the happiest person.
The next morning, there were steamed buns, eggs, and milk. Jiang Xinyu felt that this would be more than a month before he could grow fat.
I have to steam buns when I come back today. There is not much inventory in the space. I just can take advantage of the fact that I have too much fire in winter and I can steam it every day.
Wang Ailing knocked on the door, and the two set out with their baskets on their backs. On the way, they met many people, all of whom went to the market, and they were either buying things, or joining in the fun.
It took me an hour to walk to the big market in the village.
Jiang Xinyu looks quite fresh, I wonder if there are any food sellers in this episode.
I was particularly disappointed and looked at the crowds from afar. After arriving, I realized that there were not many people selling things at all.
That's right, who can sell food stupidly in this disaster year? That's all.
After walking around, Jiang Xinyu bought two baskets, one large and one small, and two large wooden basins. After discussing for a while, they agreed to send them back, but Jiang Xinyu had to buy two more small basins.
They have carts, so they can only take a little longer, but if they are allowed to two of them, they will really not be able to get them back.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative again and bought ten meters of linoleum. I looked at the two little girls and kindly asked them to put the linoleum on the small cart.
After arriving at home, the people took the money and left. Jiang Xinyu wanted to put steamed buns in the large wooden basin.
In the next few days, Jiang Xinyu was steaming buns and sugar buns. Although it smelled like rice, it was not too much. That is, you could smell it next door, but there was no movement there.
Three days later, Jiang Xinyu completely rested and went to find Wang Ailing and asked her to help grind cornmeal tomorrow morning.
I also have to make some corn pancakes and steamed buns for my own sake. If I don’t like it, I will make less for the emergency.
