My whole family is punching cards in the farming article to survive

Chapter 83 Pueraria is a Good Thing

Mei Berry took a very long bath this time, so long that when she came out of the tub, she saw her mother boiling water again.

"Mom, I don't need to add hot water after washing."

Mei Berry thought it was her mother who was worried that her bath water was cold and she wanted to heat the water for herself, so she quickly stopped her.

"What do you think? This is for boiled kudzu vines. After cooking, I have to pull out the 'silk' inside, and then send it to Widow Chen for weaving."

"Ah, is that so hahahaha..."

The self-proclaimed amorous Mei Berry silently disposed of the bath water with a dry laugh.

Just looking down at the dirt floating on the water that she couldn't bear to look at, Mei Berry turned her eyes away, and started talking to the system about the heroine making soap in the original novel.

【Meyou is going to make soap soon, right? 】

System: [Well, soon. 】

[That's good, it's convenient to take a bath with soap~]

Mei Berry thought, this time she took a bath so slowly, it took so long because she didn't have such things as soap and shower gel.

Although Mei Berry also learned how to make soap in high school, she is the kind of rookie who can never combine theory with practice.

Let her make soap, don't say it's the highlight of the heroine, even if she really makes it, it will have to finish all the things in their hands recently.

Their family has a lot going on recently!
[By the way, there is a high-gloss punch card here on the soap, right? 】

Mei Berry even took the initiative to ask about this matter, and the system simply sent out this task:
[The host is asked to clock in the famous scene "Meiyou succeeded in making soil soap", the time limit is two months.If you check in successfully, you will be rewarded with an upgraded goat milk soap recipe x 1, and floral essential oil soap recipe x 1!Failed to check in, and lost the chance to make money with the heroine in the soap business. 】

This reward, Mei Berry's breath stagnates excitedly.

Does this penalty for failing to check in count as another perspective? If she succeeds on time, she can earn money with the heroine? !
[Host, you can't take the initiative to bring up the matter of soap, so as to prevent the previous check-in items from being dropped by you~]

The system's premature reminder this time is also because it has discovered that Mei Berry has this sign.

Just because of the bath, Mei Berry was thinking about the heroine's soap. If she rushed to the heroine and suggested that the heroine make soap, the system would also need a ventilator to breathe oxygen.

That's why it announced the task as soon as possible, and specially reminded Mei Berry about it.

Mei Berry, who was excited just now, was splashed with cold water.

[I can't take the initiative to mention it myself, what about hints?What about that inadvertent lead? 】

System: [It depends on the situation, the system will make a decision at that time. 】

Plumberry: ...

It's a little tricky!

"Why are you standing there stupidly? Quickly help me bring in the kudzu vines that were packed outside."

At this time, the water in the pot also boiled.

"Hey, here we come!"

Mei Berry kept the check-in matter to her stomach for the time being.

Since she can't take the initiative with this thing, she naturally doesn't need to worry about it for a while, she has to be busy with her own affairs first.

Under Wei's beautiful display of the cooked kudzu vines, Mei Berry saw long, thin and tough fibers appearing in the kudzu vines.

That is what her mother called "silk".

Plum Berry is also surprised that the fibers of kudzu vine look better after being cooked than when they are not boiled.

"I'll put these in the yard to dry in the sun, and I'll pack them up and send them to Widow Chen's house after finishing them in a few days."

"Send them home?"

Mei Berry remembered that her mother said that someone in the village could make Gebu, but Mei Berry didn't expect that she was referring to Widow Chen.

"She can be Gebu?"

"That's right, she still has a loom at home! She usually weaves some linen and less silk."

Wei Meili doesn't think there is much difference between the weaving of linen and Gebu.

"If she doesn't weave and only relies on farming, how can she, a widow, drag the family down? Her mother-in-law, like that, can't count on washing and cooking. Her son used to be young. Even if she gets up in the field every day, the whole family can't eat enough. .”

Speaking of Chen Widow Mei Berry, she could hear the admiration and appreciation from her mother's tone, and even Mei Berry followed her impression of this person crazily.

The meal at noon was busy with work all morning, and Wei Meimei spent less time on it, and the cooking was very simple.

A dish of steamed eggplant with garlic, a dish of deep-fried pumpkin flowers, served with a mixed grain rice of wheat, corn slag and rice, the taste is not bad when eaten together.

Mei Berry likes the deep-fried pumpkin flowers very much. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a hint of floral fragrance mixed with egg wheat.

Plum Berry wished he could eat it every day, but it was a pity that he had to save the pumpkin, and frying it was really expensive.

Not even reuse.

"My third son and I turned over the two acres of wheat field in the morning, and we will turn it over again tomorrow, so we can plant other crops later. I will plant whatever you want to eat."

"Come on, just grow normal grains. It won't be too weird and become a talking point for other people in the village."

Mei Berry quickly stopped her father's thoughts.

If it weren't for that acre of peanut land on the mountain, it is estimated that their family's use of paddy fields to grow peanuts would be enough for many people to talk about!
Traveling to these ancient days, Mei Berry found that there was really no entertainment at all.

Fortunately, their family basically has things to do every day, and they can pet the cat in their spare time, otherwise this boring day would really drive them crazy.

Neighbors have nothing to do and have time to gather and chat every day, and the content updates are not timely.

The news is not developed these days, and there is a well-known thing that they can talk about repeatedly, and then they can make up their own brains and update a new version.

Just like their family's previous separation.

At the beginning, everyone said that it was Mrs. Zhang who was unkind as a mother-in-law, beating and scolding her daughter-in-law every day, and old man Mei being partial, making it difficult for the two sons to live together, so they separated;

In the end, it turned out that the two of them were too good to eat, and Lao Mei's family really couldn't afford to support these two and let them live alone...

At that time, when they heard the new version of the last iteration, Wei Meili and Mei Berry watched the mobile phone like a subway grandfather.

Your family is too edible, what can be eaten is called a sallow, emaciated, skinny?
After that, Mei Berry and the others could understand why old man Mei was so concerned about face.

It is really not heavy.

"I heard from Meiyou that their paddy field has been replaced with big yellow rice, why don't we grow some too?"

If her father directly planted two acres of corn, Mei Berry probably wouldn't like it very much either.

"Okay, one acre of big yellow rice and one acre of corn. And... among the corn, I will mix some soybeans in it."

What to plant on the last two acres of dry land at home was decided after lunch.

So, after the family nap, they started to work on new things——

Make kudzu powder.

Today, their family is at odds with this wild kudzu.

Pueraria in the morning and Pueraria in the afternoon.

Peel the plum berries, and Wei Meili slices the peeled kudzu root into strips and wraps them in clean gauze.

Then, Mei Berry's father took a mallet and beat the kudzu root in the gauze in the basin.

After that, wash out the white juice inside mixed with clean water, and set aside a pot of turbid kudzu root water to clarify.

Finally, pour out the clear water from the upper layer, leaving a white layer at the bottom, which can be placed in the yard to dry.

This kudzu root, which weighs several tens of kilograms, keeps the family busy until the sunset.

It wasn't until she helped her father carry the last pot of kudzu powder to the corner of the eaves that Mei Berry had a complete rest.

Standing in the yard stretching her waist, she turned her head to look at the piles of drying objects in the yard today, feeling a sense of satisfaction spontaneously.

"When the honeysuckle is picked tomorrow, there will really be no place to stay in this yard~"

　Meiberry: Every day is so busy~
　　Author: I am busy thinking about what you do every day.

　　Meiberry: Then let me lie down for a while.

　　Author: No!
