My village can't be like this

Chapter 46 Delicious Snacks - Flavored Potatoes (please recommend for collection)
Spring, the season of recovery.

Not only the crops in the field began to grow, but also the weeds in the field.

Rapeseed crops are grown in Changqing mountain area. Although there are many wild grasses and vegetables growing on the ground, they are always out of climate under the cover of rapeseed bushes.

Moreover, most of the people in the village who raise livestock and poultry go to the rapeseed fields to mow grass and feed the livestock and poultry every day, so as to save a lot of corn.

Therefore, weeding rapeseed every year is at most in early winter.

On the contrary, in spring, no one will weed rapeseed.

But there are other crops besides canola.

For example, Zhang An's family planted half an acre of potatoes. When Zhang Jianguo and his wife went up the mountain to look at the crops a few days ago, they found a lot of weeds growing in the potato field.

Potatoes are meant to absorb nutrients from the soil. If weeds grow too much, they will compete with potatoes for nutrients.

So today the family will go to the field to weed the potatoes.

This batch of potatoes that were planted last year can be dug in another month or two.

This land is relatively close, and the fertility in the land is not bad. When the potatoes were planted, Zhang Jianguo carried a lot of horse manure to plant them.

Pay attention when weeding, because the hoe is relatively wide, and the weeds usually grow near the roots of the potatoes. When weeding out the weeds, the stems and leaves of the potatoes are dug up by the way.

Zhang An felt uncomfortable with the hoe, so he dropped the hoe and pulled up the grass with his hands.

Shoveling the ground and weeding is also a technical job, so family members often say that if you don’t study hard, you have to come back to grow crops.

But for the next generation, they may not be able to grow crops well.

In this way, the family worked in the field.

Zhang Jianguo and his wife weeded the grass with hoes, while Zhang An pulled it out with his hands.

Because potatoes are grown in ridges, Zhang An picked a ridge and started weeding.

The weeds that have been shoveled cannot continue to be placed on the ground, because if the sun is not out, or the sun is not strong enough, the weeds will not be killed by the sun, and they will grow back in the ground instead.

The weeds can't be burnt out, and the spring breeze blows and grows again.

So Zhang An's family carried all the weeds that had been dug up to the rocks on the ground.The weather is a bit cloudy today, and the sun hasn't come out. These things won't die so easily.

Half an acre of land is not a lot, and three people finished it quickly.

Zhang An also planed some small potatoes and prepared to stew them at home. These potatoes are very small, not as big as eggs.

Back home, Zhang An washed the potatoes and brushed them with a brush to remove the potato skins.

Put a large iron pot on the fire, add a spoonful of lard, pour some water, put the washed potatoes into the pot, cover the pot and wait until it is cooked, and Zhang An also picked some peppercorns in the garden Wash the leaves and put them in to stew together.

The potatoes stewed in this way are as delicious as the peppers.

It takes about [-] minutes to simmer. Taking advantage of this time, Zhang An made a bowl of chili noodles that he likes to dip in.

Pour out the chili noodles you want, add pepper powder, salt, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings, and stir well.

The chili powder in Zhang An's house is pounded by Zhang An himself, so it is very finely ground and powdery, without too much chili skin.

As the fire continued to heat up, a burst of aroma began to waft out of the pot.

After 10 minutes, uncover the pot, the potatoes in the pot have been stewed, golden and golden.

First use chopsticks to pick out the pepper leaves and throw them away, this stuff is not tasty.

Then one person filled a bowl and ate it. The potatoes at the bottom of the pot were already attached to the bottom of the iron pot, and they were fried into a layer of potato crisps. This layer of crisps was delicious, and Zhang An liked to eat it when he was young.

The family started eating in the yard, holding small potatoes with chopsticks and dipping them in the dipping sauce in the bowl.

It tastes glutinous and soft, and it is delicious with the taste of chili noodles.

There are many ways to eat potatoes in the village.

It can not only be sliced, shredded, and diced for stir-frying.

It can also be eaten cooked, stewed, fried or roasted. Zhang An also likes to cook it with fire, peel off the charred charcoal skin on the outside, cut it with a spoon, and sprinkle a layer of chili noodles. , Hiss, drooling.

And this thing is never boring.Zhang An has been eating for decades in his two lifetimes. Every time he doesn’t fry a bowl every Chinese New Year, he always feels that something is missing.

After eating this pot of potatoes, there is no need to make dinner at night.

Zhang An woke up the next morning and found some red eggs and glutinous rice cakes on the table.

"Mom, who sent this red egg?"

Zhang An asked Wang Fang at home while washing his face.

"It was sent by Grandma Wang's family. Their family gave birth to a grandson the day before yesterday, so every household sent red eggs here."

In the village, if there is a newborn in the family, they will prepare a lot of boiled eggs, dyed red and send them to the village's households, which means to bring good luck to the newborn child in the family.

Of course, this is also a different kind of notice, telling others that you have a child, and when the time comes for the full moon wine, everyone who receives the red egg will go.

This red egg is the most popular among children, because eggs were rarely eaten at home at that time.

That is to say, on birthdays, the family will give boiled eggs, and it is impossible at other times.

But the red eggs delivered by other people's homes are already cooked and can't be kept for long, so when someone in the family brings red eggs, they are eaten by the children in the family.

"Her family, I remember that her family already has many grandchildren, Wang Baoguo of her family has attended elementary school with me."

"Don't guard people and say this outside, or they will scold you behind their backs. Who will dislike too many people? This time it's her youngest son's family." Wang Fang taught Zhang An, and the words were in The countryside cannot be said.

"Oh, I see, it's the family that got married last year, right?"

The weather has been very bad recently, it has been misty and rainy, and it is not convenient to go out to work.

It may be that the Ching Ming Festival is approaching, so the rain has increased.

And after the rain, the budding flowers on the cherry trees all bloomed.

In the morning, Zhang An went to the yard and took a look. Whether in the yards of every household in the village or on the mountains in the distance, white cherry blossoms were blooming everywhere.

The white cherry blossoms in the whole mountain are mixed with the yellow rapeseed flowers, as if they have changed a new dress for the earth.

Pink cherry blossoms are rare in the village. Zhang An has been in the village for so many years and has no impression of pink cherry blossoms.

Maybe it's a different breed.

Even the small cherry tree that was just planted at home has many flowers blooming on its branches.

It seems that this year will be able to bear fruit.

Especially the courtyards of many people's homes are very beautiful now.

However, the flowering period of cherry blossoms is very short, just over a week, and when the flowers wither in a few days, those petals will fall on the concrete floor, and it will take some time to sweep the floor every day.

When the cherry tree in my forest grows up, it will bloom in spring, and when the spring breeze blows, it will look like the colorful falling flowers written in Peach Blossom Spring.
